same problem how can this be solved

@@bonifaceubana9915 there is no work around

@@HowdyYTI have the same problem ... how can fix it?

@@HowdyYT and what about update bios ? I think will be solved ? !!

I have that toshiba satellite 50 A, core i3, HDD 500Gb and RAM 4GB laptop, can i upgrade its processor to core i 7 8th gen?

ScarrCrow KKen thanks man!

Thank you! The best advice I can give is to make sure to do your research. Good luck!

@@HowdyYT Already did! So fingers crossed as I ordered the CPU for the upgrade ;)))

same:)

Thank you for commenting! I haven’t used my laptop in quite some time, but I let a family member use it for some PowerPoint presentations and video playback (very light workloads) and they haven’t had any complaints. As far as the 2030m goes, if you’re doing light work, and if you can afford it for $35 (cheapest current eBay price) I’d say it’s probably worth it. I personally find it very satisfying to work on electronics, and this swap is pretty easy and cheap, so the fun-factor helps justify the price for me. At this point, if you can spare 2-300 dollars I would look into the secondary market, either eBay or Facebook Marketplace for a better deal. If you need to do anything more than word, PowerPoint, or KZfaq playback the pentium is going to struggle. I remember it taking minutes to open certain programs I used for school. Whatever route you take, I hope it all works out for you! And thanks for watching! I know it was probably painful to sit through LOL

Isaiah B I still have my laptop. That’s pretty cool though.

My model number is “C50-A”. It was very confusing doing research, as there were multiple models with the same/similar names. I’m not sure about the motherboard.

e1 1200 uses BGA or onboard CPU for upgrade you need to buy a new motherboard for that, sadly its like you bought a new laptop

Have not tried to flash a different bios. No other cpus besides the Celeron and Pentiums function for more than 30 minutes. Last time I looked into it there was a community tool to flash a custom bios, but it required an arduino and a bios flasher (the clip on kind). It wasn’t worth the haste for me.

I think mine had 4 gigs of lpddr3. Just pop the back hatch and double check.

Mixing voltages well done 👍

I put some on, I just didn’t show it in the video.

Lemma Ashagrie have you tried taking the battery out and trying to turn it on while it’s plugged in?

@@HowdyYT yes i have try too much. but no change @ all.

Lemma Ashagrie hm… maybe try reseating the ram and processor

@@HowdyYT While I rest the Ram, and also try to configure BIOS by the local maintanance shop. It is just like before. My question is that if the microprocessor is getting damaged, the fan try to start?, power button is getting light? When i plugged the power adapter charging comes light?

Lemma Ashagrie I’m not sure. Check to make sure there is thermal paste between the processor and the heatsink

You should be able to find out through task manager or system info. If it’s a celeron or a pentium then you’re limited to those. If it’s an “i” model then you should be good for an i5/i7

Google “(your motherboard and bios version) cpu comparability” and make sure that the processors are compatible before you buy. I bought 2 cpus that weren’t compatible before I did my research.

"Your current hardware configuration is not compatible with Windows 11, as it requires a minimum of 8th generation or newer components, and there is no option for upgrading in your situation."

The installation would be the same. However, on my model the bios has a lockout coded in that will shut the system off after 30 minutes. I tried both an i5 and an i3 and they were both locked out. You just have to do some careful research about your particular bios and find the most powerful chip that is still comparable. For me that was unfortunately only a pentium.

thanks for the tips. can i in some way update the bios or do a trick to bypass the lock in the bios?? and how do i know that my bios lockes out cpus??

Basel omar Kilani I think you can reflash the bios with a community modded version, but it requires a clip-on bios flasher and an arduino. It was something I just wasn’t interested in at that point. If you tried today you would probably have little help, as our parts have been irrelevant for some time now. As for if your bios will allow a specific cpu, you would just have to do a little googling. I think you can find out what bios you have through cpu-z, but it’s been a while since I’ve used that utility. Best of luck to you!

@@HowdyYT thx bro.btw i think bios reflash is a bit advanced for me. but again thank you

Basel Kilani no problem!

Some bios versions have code to prevent processors better than the pentium line from working longer than 30 minutes. You would have to research that yourself. You might be able to instal a 2030m, but it would be pointless and more of a side grade. Yes you can update the bios the exact same way.

This model has two slots. After you install the ram that’s it. You don’t have to do anything else.

Howdy you respond really quick you earned a sub bro

Eric Regala thank you!

Tahsin plays YT make sure to research the bios and make sure it is compatible. The i5 was not working on this machine

@@HowdyYT Well I'm not a expert of cpu's but does intel core i3 support this laptop?

Tahsin plays YT nothing above a pentium is supported

I have the same model like yours but my processor is i5 , it has also two graphics card intel hd graphic 4600 and nvidia GeForce 710m. I want it to upgrade to higher if posible including the ram. Any suggestions?

No clue, but it should be pretty simple to check if you’re willing to disassemble your machine. If you have a socket, then it’s swappable.

@@HowdyYT Did you manage to change yours?

@@SINDEL1999 yes! But there are a lot of laptops with very similar model numbers, so I would suggest opening yours up before you buy a new processor

Mine had 2 slots, but only one was populated

As long as it isn’t soldered then you should be able to, but I can’t confirm this because I don’t have that computer.

@@HowdyYT thank you for your reply

I’m not sure. You would have to check google and other tech forums.

@@HowdyYT yeah ı did but didnt find anything

I applied thermal compound off camera

I don’t know. You’ll have to ask google.

They’ll fit in the socket and boot, but if the laptop didn’t already have an i3 or an i5 you won’t be able to use your computer for longer than 30 minutes.

@@HowdyYT okay I see what is about I just listened your video twice so the motherboard hm70 I was checked on my and I have hm76 so probably will do.

Pentium 2030m

I honestly don’t know

@@HowdyYT I found that the Toshiba Satellite c850 l850 motherboard has exactely the same aspect of the SATELLITE C50-A-19T, than i just need to change the heat sink because the C850 brings a GPU, with this motherboard you can have a i7. This motherboard comes with the HM76 chipset.

Kills The Man I don’t believe so. It’s integrated graphics on my model

Integrated graphics into the cpu

@@kateajurors8640 how exactly?

You can't upgrade the onboard inbuild graphic of these machine. I have played assassination crid IV at 2 fps with the base machine pentium B960. But there is always a loophole. If you are happy loosing the inbuild wifi module the same wifi slot can be used as an external express PCi slot to which you can add any desktop levsl graphic card which need an exteranl Power supply SMPS to power up. Its a bit tricky. But will definitely work. All you endup is a laptop for gaming but you need an external wifi module USB to connect to internet or the regular RJ45

@@sharathspawar Agreed we need to change the motherboard if we do want to upgrade it

Check pinned comment

I'm not sure. If I had to guess, it's probably pretty similar.

source!

beware, you might need to cut of a piece of plastic on the hole where the sata connectors go through. the placement is a bit different compared to your model

FCPGA988

I usually do these randomly, so I wouldn't know when to ask to borrow it. I've had this footage since December lol. Thank you though.

This is actually a “feature” of the bios. I think more specifically it’s Intel ME. It’s to prevent the user from upgrading the laptop and incentivize purchases of more expensive models.

@@HowdyYT bro the laptop had intel Celeron and the seller upgraded it to i5 2nd, i told him about this Intel ME and now he is downgrading it to i3 2nd gen. Would it still be a problem?

@@polarbear9696 yes. You’re basically capped at the Pentium 2030m. I tried an i5 and an i3 and both had the same issue

I have no clue. You would have to do some research on that specific model

Ok thanks

As long as your cpu isn’t soldered in that should be doable. I really don’t know, at this point that’s 6 generations newer than my laptop

Eliots Life yes you must add thermal paste

well you didnt

Eliots Life I did off camera

ohhh ok great 😂😄

I think it would, but I’m not entirely sure.

@@HowdyYT Wow, thanks for replying so quick bro I appreciate it.

@@revelati_n no problem. The only thing stopping me from upgrading past the pentium line was some lockout code in the bios. Since you’re already running an i3 I would assume you should be able to use an i7 just fine. That being said, I would try to find another source or two before you go through with it. You can never be too certain

@@HowdyYT Alright man have a good life thanks.

@@revelati_n no problem. Good luck and you too!

I used the pentium 2030m

md jahed yes

It depends on your motherboard. If it has a pentium or celeron, then you can only go up to the pentium 2030m because of the lockout bios. If it has an i3 or better, then you should be able to put an i7 3940xm in it, but you’ll have to think about cooling at that point too. The cooler probably won’t be able to handle that part.

@@HowdyYT thanks for the fast reply. Mine has pentium 2020m so i wont be able to upgrade to an i5

@@k.o.7629 correct. There is this “feature” they coded to shut the computer off after 30 minutes if you use anything better than a pentium. It’s technically possible, but you’d only be able to use your computer for 30 minutes each time. It’s a real bummer.

I’m not sure. Try googling for more information on your specific computer

@@HowdyYT what info i must goole for it bro i dnt know

@@HowdyYT my socket is PGA988

Oualid pro you need to check if your bios allows better CPU’s. Since you have a pentium you probably aren’t compatible with better CPU’s

Thermal paste was added just not filmed. The shutdown is an issue with intel ME

No, this is just the C50-A. They have a lot of models with very similar model numbers

I’m still using mine to this day 😂

Compatible

Unfortunately there are multiple satellite laptops under very similar product numbers. I tried the 3120m and it would still shut off. It’s all down to the bios chip.

Most processors are compatible. If it shuts down after 30 mins that is the users fault who put it in the wrong way as a i5 does work on mine

Dainis Cakuls if the processor was inserted incorrectly the device would not boot. As stated, it is a well known bios issue implemented to prevent upgrading cheaper laptops. If the i5 works for longer than 30min in your system then your bios is not the same as this particular model’s.

AMD processors are incompatible on this socket

They arnt I checked my freind also did it it works fine.

Dainis Cakuls okay good luck 👍

K thx. My school has most of the Same Toshiba's and they all have amd a9. Also I have the c50pro. Idk which on you have coz you said A.

It worked yay!

Probably the pentium 2127u. Keep in mind that I haven’t done a lot of research. You’ll have to make sure the processor is compatible with your bios first too. Definitely do a bunch of research before buying.

@@HowdyYT are they available to the market bro , i mean the laptop processor

Josh Andaya I’m not sure. You would have to check ebay

It’s super easy. All you have to do is remove the bottom panel and you get quick access. You don’t even have to take off the entire thing. Just get a matching stick of ram and you’ll be good. I upgraded to 8gbs either shortly before or shortly after this video was recorded. Good luck!

5400rpm laptop drive 😂 it’s since been replaced with an ssd

J R it got me through half life 2, so for that I’m grateful lol

howdy

No clue. Try reconnecting it.

I applied thermal paste for each processor tested. This is an issue with Intel ME.

@@HowdyYT ya ya i thought so
