Hi all,

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P300 and after a while of upgrading it to X9100, I gave QX9300 a try. However, when I turned on the power, the screen was blank, no beeping sound either. I guess the BIOS does not support QX9300....

I also tried to update the BIOS to the latest version, v3.40, still no luck. I found that another model from Toshiba, Qosmio X300 uses QX9300. The info of both my machine and Qosmio X300 are as follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Satellite Pro P300 PSPCDA-00L00D
Originally T9400, upgraded to X9100
It uses PM45 (found from CPU-Z).
Phoenix Bios (Version 3.40)

BD3M3H10.WPH is the BIOS file.

Qosmio X300-13W
Part Number : PQX31E-010006EN
Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX9300
Phoenix Bios (version 1.80):
http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-file...102122.zip
sraa180a.rom can be found by extracting the BIOS180.exe from the zip file
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Noted that the P300's BIOS does not have UPDATE00.ROM but it has _C00.PEI.
Qosmio X300, has the UPDATE00.ROM.

I am not sure how to obtain the QX9300 microcode from Qosmio X300 BIOS and added to the _C00.PEI. Any help will be very appreciated.
