How to connect Satellite 1800-400 on TV?

Hi
I want to connect my Toshiba Satellite 1800/400 to my TV, but i dont know how to install a secondary video adapter. My graficscard is a Trident Video Accelerator Cyberblade Ai1.
PLEASE help because i am getting hopeless and frustrated because i need it for school

Hello Kevin
As far as I know you dont need to install a secondary video adapter. The notebook has got Video-out jack output to transfer the NTSC or PAL data to external devices (TV).
If you want to activate the TV output function, please go to Display Properties then click on Advanced. Please click now on Display Device tab.
There you can set the settings to TV and in the Multi-Monitor Devices section to LCD/TV. Dont forget the TV-Standard (PAL or NTSC).
Nevertheless with the key combination FN+F5 you can choose between the LCD and TV.

Upgrade Satellite 1800-400 from ME to XP Pro ??

Anybody managed a satisfactory upgrade of a Satellite 1800-400 or similar (384MB RAM, 20GB HD, 800 MHz Celeron)from Win ME?
Would prefer to Upgrade to XP Pro, but clean install 2nd choice.
If I format HD for clean install, would an Upgrade version of XP recognise the Toshiba recovery CD as a legit copy of ME - I heard there may be problems?
I intend to upgrade BIOS and collect all available Drivers for this model offered by Toshiba for XP, but will there still be problems with any of the hardware?
Do the Toshiba Drivers need to be loaded in a special order, and is that during or after the XP install?
Is XP likely to be faster/slower/about the same as ME, with above hardware specification??
Any advice welcome, as I haven't upgraded operating system on a laptop before, and the potential problems seem greater than with desktops.

Hi
I dont see any reason why WXP should not work on your unit properly. On this forum I have read many topics where users reports about WXP on older units as yours.
Please check Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp and there you will find drivers for WXP.
After WXP installation install display and sound driver at first. After that install other hardware drivers. The next step is Toshiba stuff installation:
Common modules
Controls
Power saver
Utilities.
It is important to install common modules as first.

Satellite 1800-400, what cpu?

Hey people,
Just got me a second hand 1800-400 but finding it a little slow. I've order more RAM(256) to go with the 128 it already has. Hopefully this will help.
But I was thinking, What other/faster CPU's can this little machine handle? I can get a P3 1Ghz cpu from ebay cheap but would the system run it?
Cheers
Sym

Hi,
I have looked at the specs of some other Satellite 1800 models and found out that they are using different processors. Most of them are using Celeron 1.0GHz and 1.1GHz. I also found a model with P3 1.0GHz (1800-804). But I think it is using another chipset, so I'm not sure if you can use a P3.
By the way I don't think that a little better CPU will increase the performance so much. Upgrading RAM is more effective.

Satellite 1800 - 400: CD-ROM broken

hey,
About a week ago, my CD-ROM started to act pretty weird. He doesn't read any cd's what so ever. I want to replace him but my question is.. Can i do this myself and if not is it going to be expensive...?
My Toshiba Satellite is an 1800 - 400 serie

Hi,
Francesco is right, you should bring the Notebook to a Toshiba Service Partner. A list could be found on - https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com - Support & Downloads - Find an authorised service partner

How to determine which chipset my Satellite L300/700 has?

I have a SATELLITE L300/700 (PSLB8A-047004). The User Guide covers several models. It indicates that the chipset determines which memory modules I need for a memory upgrade. How do I find out which chipset I have, please?
Kev.

> I'm still curious about how to determine which chipset I have - any thoughts?
Go to the device manger and click on IDE Ata/Atapi controllers:

There you will see your chipset installed on your laptop. In my case, as shown on the screenshot is Intel ICH9m

Which Wireless router and WLAN card should i use with my Satellite 1800?

TOSHIBA SATELLITE 1800-314
I NEED TO KNOW WHICH WIRELESS ROUTER I SHOULD BUY AND PC CARD I SHOULD BUY.
MY CD/DVD ROOM DOESN'T READ DVDS. THANKS.

Hi,
normally it doesn't matter which router or PC card you use, they all should work.
I'm using a card from Netgear, never had any problems with it.

How do I read a downloaded manual file for Satellite 1800?

I downloaded the file named S1800MnlME.EXE from the Australian Toshiba site. I didn't download it to the notebook to which it applies (model PS181A-00UK5), but to a different computer.
I double-clicked on the file. I got a window on the screen. The title bar said "WinZip Self-Extractor" and the file name. In the window, it said "Hyper Text for Satellite 1800" and I was invited to click "Setup". I did. I got a window that said "Installing Hyper Text for Satellite 1800". Then, I was told that installation was finished and to reboot. I did. On reboot, I can't find any new files though, just the original one.
What am I doing wrong? Will this only work on the Toshiba notebook itself?
Thanks for reading this.
Leslie

The problem's solved. There were files in a new folder on the C: drive called docs. Double-clicking on MVSHELL in that folder opened the manual.

Satellite 1800: screen switches black

I have a Toshiba Satellite 1800 which is, like me, getting on a bit! It was bought in 2000 but has not had excessive use.
Recently the monitor has started to play up and will suddenly go completely black. I checked the manual and to get it back I press Fn+F5 and it does come back although sometimes it takes a few pressings.
Does anyone know why it has started to do this and is there a way to fix it. I am dead scared that one day it will simply not come back at all.
I am a total greeny when it comes to technology.

Actually, if you look closely you find that the screen does not go completely black, it just gets very dim. You can still see the shades of what is being displayed on the screen. The problem is with a little board called the FL inverter for the screen.
Please check the following thread:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=15513
I have had the same problem for a while now with my satellite 1800. The only solution I have found is to open the LCD and re-seat the connectors on the FL inverter board. It works every time and lasts for a month or more. Keep in mind that I teach using my laptop.
So, it gets carried around quite a bit every day. The recurrence of the problem might be due to the jarring and bumping as I move the laptop from lecture to lecture.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But this is not something that can be cured through software.
Best regards.

Re: New SD-R6472 on Satellite 1800-100 - target drive not found

Hi Toshiba fans
I have a Satellite 1800-100 and bought a DVD drive SD-R6472
I have downloaded the SD-R6472 csel changer programm but cannot run it.
It says "the target drive is not found "
I did already download the latest bios version
Does anybody know what to do next?
Would appreciate it a lot if someone could help me on this
best regards
Chris

There is a simply explanation; the firmware which you are using is simply not compatible with your SD-R6472 drive.
I dont think that you will be successful to flash the drives settings.
Fact is that such tool is not available on the Toshiba page and I doubt that any 3rd party software would be able to do this
Before buying a CD/DVD drive you should ensure that such ODD would be compatible with your notebook.
In my user manual I could find details about compatible drives.
Maybe your user manual would provide info about the compatible ODD too
If not, then you should contact the Toshiba ASP for informations about compatible CD/DVD drives.
Have a nice WE

Can't create the diskette for updating the BIOS on Satellite 1800-712

I was given a Satellite 1800-712 with bugged BIOS (the power went down while reflashing) So now when the notebook is switched on a sign shows
BIOS (Block2) is damaged! (Call your serviceman)
and so on...
I've downloaded the latest bios for the notebook, but when I try to follow the instructions given (unzip, insert a formated 1.44mb disk, start the *.exe file and a 1.44mb should be created) nothing happens. When I run the exe (chgbiosa.exe) if I'm running windows xp nothing happens, and if I'm running DOS says "Initial Error".
In the Archive of the bios is a readme. It says that I should copy the files (BIOFC72T.COM and CHGBIOSA.EXE) to a 1.44mb floppy disk. Well it doesn't help either.
Any ideas what should I do? Thanks in advance.

Hi
I found this thread in the forum:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19801&messageID=72625
The case described in the thread above is very similar to your issue.
According to this message every newer BIOS has a protection mechanism which means that even in case of an incomplete flashing procedure, the responsible area in the BIOS-flash for the upgrade is never deleted.
So usually you should contact the service point in you country to solve this problem but maybe the description in the other thread will help you.
But you know, everything what you do is at you own risk

Satellite 1800-712 repair prices

I just got my quote in for repairing my 6-year-old Satellite 1800-712. The machine's lid opened to the limit of the hinges (loose, old friction hinges) and the LCD slowly faded to white, but still powers on/off properly and otherwise the laptop behaves as normal. No sign of a crack on the panel so I had rather hoped that it was a damaged interconnect or controller board.
A day after arriving at ASP, it's diagnosed and the quote's posted off... they want 360 for the fix!
Even a whole new LCD panel, inverter, hinges and case is only half that. There's a speciality firm in the US which does cleanroom-rebuilt LCDs for this machine, replacing the polarisers and CCFL, and it'd still be far cheaper for me to pay for them to source a panel, clean it up and send it to me than for me to accept the repair quote. What the heck? Is this a normal price?
Even when the laptop was new, it only cost 1000. The cheapest brand-new machine today, which would far outperform the 1800-712, is only about 200.
Do they not realize that nobody in their right mind is going to take them up on the offer? Sorry if this sounds like a rant but I am genuinely bewildered, I expected that a repair quote would be sane and my mind is utterly boggled.

What to say buddy the notebook reparation is always a costly affair
You have to pay always for the new part and you should not forget the direct labor costs!
Last but not least every technician can make an own prices and can charge a own fee
In your case I would ask different service points and the technicians for the offers and would pick the cheapest one

Satellite 1800-100: video-out does not work

He,
I just installed windows XP on my old Satellite 1800-100, but now my video-out does not work anymore. So I just downloaded the latest driver, but there's no way I can get it installed. According to Windows the new driver isn't newer, so it won't let me update it. And when i try to unistall the display driver, I have to reboot before it takes effect, and wile rebooting it automaticly installs the standard driver again.
Can anybody help me?
Greets,
Daan

Hi
Do you mean TV- out port or monitor port? As far as I know this unit is preinstalled with WXP Home and all drivers can be also used for WXP Pro.
Did you preinstall your own OS (non recovery image)?

Re: RAM upgrade on Satellite 1800-700

I would like to upgrade my Satellite 1800-700 memory to 1024 RAM. My operating system is Windows XP. I currently have 512 RAM and the BIOS 2.20 TRAD.
However, it would allow me to install 2x512 RAM.
Please can anyone help?
Thank you kindly.
Lee

I have found your laptop specifications:
Satellite 1800-700 Memory Specifications
Standard Memory 128 MB (removable)
Maximum Memory 512 MB
Memory Expansion 2 sockets
Memory Comments PC133 SDRAM SODIMMs
CPU Type 850MHz Intel Mobile Pentium III
Model Comments 100MHz FSB
So, as you see, the maximum supported memory is 512 mb
