Toshiba Satellite Pro FAQ:

Question: Can I install a graphics card in a Toshiba Satellite Pro.?
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300D-132 and I like to install a new Nvidia 8600Gt is this possible?

Answer: No. As far as accelerating your laptop graphics goes — unfortunately its shopping time for a new laptop. Laptops don’t have normal graphic card slots. 99.9 % of laptops have their graphics soldered onto the motherboard, and the very few machines that use Mini-PCIe cards for graphics, I have seen no aftermarket Mini-PCI-e cards available at all.

Question: How Many Hours Can A Battery Last For An Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 Laptop?
I have a Toshiba satellite pro A60 laptop and the battery is basically done and I want to buy a new one but I can’t find any information about how long the A60’s battery lasts after full charge.

Answer: With all the battery management stuff turned on a laptop should last anywhere between 45 mins and 3 hrs with a fit battery.

Question: How do you install ram in a toshiba satellite pro 490cdt?
I did find one partial diagram from a ram manufacture but I’m not totally sure if it is totally right.

Answer: For most laptops they will have letters next to each screw on the bottom. Look for the ‘M’ letters next to the screw. If that doesn’t work then go for the removable panel toward the middle; this is usually were the memory is. Chances are there are either one or two screws to remove and then the memory itself is clipped in. There will be two clips on each side of the memory holding it in and if you pull them away from the memory then the module will pop right out.

Question: How to install a wireless connection in Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200’s laptop?
I was just given a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200’s laptop and would like to use a wireless connection. From what I found out there is no wireless built-in. My friend gave a D-Link AIrPlus 2.4 GHz wireless cardbus adapter but it seems like there is no input for it. What should I do?

Answer: There should be a “cardbus” slot on the side of the laptop, it may currently have a cover on it. It is possible that your Pro 4200 does not have the “optional” card reader.

Question: What’s largest capacity hard drive for Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 Laptop?
Need to upgrade to larger hard drive. Would like highest capacity drive that’s compatible with Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 Laptop.

Answer: I would recommend a 250 Gb though it can support up to 400Gb.

Question: How to reboot Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 Series w.o recovery discs?
My friend has a toshiba satellite pro L300 series laptop with a windows xp software. She wants to reboot it but doesn’t have the recovery discs. Is there a way to do this manually?

Answer: Do you really mean reboot and not reinstall?

To reboot, you do not need the recovery discs. Just press the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys to reboot the computer. If the system has hung up then it can’t be rebooted. You will have to hold down the power switch for several seconds until the system shuts down. Then switch it on again.

If you need to reinstall, you will need the recovery discs. Reinstallation can be done manually without the recovery discs, but you will need to have the Windows XP CD & license key, and all the drivers for the notebook.

Reinstalling it manually can be done, but there may be several components which will not be recognised as the XP CD may not have the drivers, such as network adapters, video adapters, audio device, etc.

You will also not get back all the utilities that came with the original installation such as touchpad drivers and utilities, etc

Question: Does anyone know if I can upgrade memory on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L100?
It has around 448mb ram and I am looking to upgrade this to around 1 or 2gb.

Answer: I am assuming that you have 1 x 512mb RAM in it, but you could have 2 x 256 RAM in it also. Grab a screwdriver and open the port on the bottom of your laptop where your RAM is located and you should be able to tell how many sticks you have and how many it can hold. Just by the model I would say it can hold 2 sticks and up to a maximum of 1GB or 2 x 512mb sticks.

Question: How can I access the internet from a toshiba satellite pro model 460cdx?
I can’t use a regular cord because there’s no spot to put it. Do I have to use wireless?

Answer: These are relatively OLD laptops, and if I remember correctly, they were not made with either ethernet or wifi. To use the internet you will need either an ethernet card or a wifi card. If you have a wireless router you can just add a wireless pcmcia card. If you only have an ethernet router you can add an ethernet pcmcia card.

You will have to add one or the other to connect to the internet.

Have you ever wondered how small a laptop can be? Well, utilizing today’s technology Toshiba does a perfect job at demonstrating it; the Libertto U100 is one of the very few laptops that have such a rich feature set fitted altogether within such a small space. Of course, if you believe that a fingerprint authentication system is too much for such a small device then you are wrong; but if you think that you can only have HDD protection on larger laptops then… you are wrong again!

This miraculously small laptop manufactured by Toshiba will surprise you in many different ways. First of all, Japanese have made their magic again and reduced the motherboards size to nearly one third of its initial size. Apart from that, they also minimized the 802.11b/g PCI Wireless card to half of its size! Of course, those space improvements left enough space for an 1.20Ghz Intel Pentium M microprocessor (with 2MB of L2 cache and 400Mhz FSB) to find its home inside the U100.

Regarding connectivity, the U100 has 2 USB slots, 1 IEEE – 1394 port as well as LAN and modem ports. Do you think that’s enough? Well, sorry but the U100 is also equipped with a docking connector as well as an RGB mini-connector.
And now to the meat! Toshiba has equipped the U100 with its very own Hard Disk Drive protection system. The system uses a 3D accelerometer in order to detect sudden speed changes (this might occur when the laptop for some reason falls or bounces). If such acceleration is detected then the hard drive (which by the way has a capacity of 60GB) head stops any motion until things are back to normality. Apart from this really helpful feature, the U100 is equipped with a fingerprint authentication system. The laptop will only operate if it recognizes the user’s fingerprints.
By now you might be wondering “Okay, this laptop really has lots of features; it must be really heavy considering its dimensions!” Well, don’t be surprised to read that the U100 weights just a minimal of 2.16 pounds!

One final thing to note about the U100 is that Toshiba has updated its display; This time, it’s a 7.2” widescreen LCD with WXGA(1280×768pixels) which is also further illuminated by a LED backlight.

With all the above said, there’s just one more thing that I didn’t say: the choice is completely yours!

I’ve just got a Toshiba Libretto 30CTK, however, it has a dead motherboard. I’ve found a spare board on eBay but it’s for a libretto 100CT. Would it work in the 30CTK case?

Question: Will installing Microsoft Windows Vista on my Toshiba Libretto u100 void my warranty?
Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone knows whether or not installing Windows Vista Home Premium on my Toshiba Libretto u100 will void my warranty?

Apparently there is no official video driver for the Libretto u100? Will this overheat the graphics card?

Answer: There’s no way they could enforce that voiding your waranty. All you’d need to do is reinstall windows XP and they’d never know. Besides I’ve never heard of running any kind of software voiding a waranty on hardware, it might prevent support but they’d just have you reformat your hard drive and reinstall windows XP.
