Memory upgrade on Satellite Pro L40-15d

Hi
I have Satellite Pro L40-15d with 512 memory (Samsung) but I wont upgrade to 1GB. I have Kingston ktt667d2/1g I have tray to put in to both slots but nothing work I cant switch on computer.
But when I change for old one laptop is ok. What can I do? Install special program or update BIOS or maybe the memory stick is broken.
Regards

Hi
The notebook doesnt boot after the memory upgrade due to these different issues;
- memory modules are not compatible together
- memory modules are not compatible with the notebook
- memory modules are faulty
- one of memory slots is faulty
In most case the memory module replacement helps.
One hint; did you try to switch the memory modules in the slots? Sometimes this helps.
Several weeks ago I have updated my memory and the notebook didnt boot.
I thought its a memory malfunction but after module switching the notebook booted correctly.
Good luck

  • Can I upgrade the T2310 CPU in Satellite Pro L40-15D series laptop?

    Hi, ( I apologise if this has been asked before but when I search ' Satellite pro l40 series' I found no relevant answers )
    I've been searching around the net & so far found some conflicting answers to this question so hopefully this forum may be able to help.
    I have a Satellite pro L40 15D laptop and I wish to upgrade the Intel Pentium Dual-Core 1.46 Ghz T2310 CPU to a Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4300 2.1GHz 1MB 800 CPU or something similar.
    I have found the following information from http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Toshiba-Satellite-L40-14N-Notebook.7294.0.html
    " f you consider a CPU upgrade, there are not many options available. The Intel GL960 express notebook chip set supports only up to 533 Mhz FSB processors. So, most of the up-to-date Core 2 Duo CPUs (with 667MHz) cannot be used. "
    But then I have also read that the GL960 can run processors of 800Mhz?.
    I also asked the question on ebay from the seller of the T2310 CPU & received this answer
    "SHOULD be okay, but your T2310 has 533Mhz FSB and the T4300 has 800Mhz.
    Most modern intel motherboards should easily accept an 800mhz cpu, but I cannot guarantee. Might be an idea to see if you can find out if there are other models of Toshiba L40 that also have 800mhz chips, as that would be a good indicator.
    And if I can not upgrade too a T2310 because of the 800mhz is their a 533mhz cpu that will be compatible & more powerful for audio production than my current 1.46 Ghz T2310 CPU.
    I have only had this PC 4 years from new,it would seem to me to be not very resource friendly if this laptop has not be designed to handle upgrades.
    Thanks for any guidance.

    'Problem is that CPU upgrade is not supported and all you do is on your own risk.

    Helpful link thanks :-)
    Of course any upgrade I did personally would be entirely at my own risk .
    So it's not a good idea as mentioned .
    I would still like to know if technically it is possible and if so it's most probably been done & maybe works fine, rather then half answers .

    Alternatively do you guys have any suggestions, other than buying a new laptop, of ways to increase the performance for music production.
    I already have 1.99 GB of ram installed .
    Would using a external USB sound card and bypassing the internal sound card give me a little more processing power . I believe it's the real time processing of audio effects etc that make audio production demanding on a cpu.Could that processing somehow be shared with a pro audio card? .
    Either way thanks for the help guys :-)

  • Memory Upgrade on Satellite Pro A10

    Can anyone advise me as to the correct RAM type to upgrade my Satellite Pro A10. Its a standard 256mB at the minute and I'm thinking of slotting in an additional 512mB next to it - but am bemused by the array of memory types and nomenclatures - DDR - SODIMM etc !!!
    Handy with the screw drivers but not so hot with the acronyms. Many thanks to you all out there who know the score!

    Hi
    I understand you very well and sometimes Im also a little bit confused because of the whole notations in the computer world.
    The Sat Pro A10 supports 200-Pin PC2700 (333Mhz) DDR SODIMM modules and you can upgrade the memory on this notebook up to 1024MB (2 x 512MB)
    You could check this memory module page:

  • Memory upgrade on Satellite Pro A200

    Have two Satellite Pro A200 #PSAE1E-00T002EN laptops and wanted to know if I can upgrade the 2 x 1GB memory to 2 x 2GB?

    As I understand you request, you want to upgrade the notebooks memory to 4GB.
    Well, I think its not possible.
    The Satellite Pro A200 supports max 2GB RAM (2 x 1GB) so you will be not able to use 2 x 2GB modules.
    Best regards dude

  • Memory upgrade on Satellite Pro A40

    Can anyone please advise where is the best place I can get a memory upgrade for my Satellite Pro A40 laptop.
    I think my machine is a PC2700 DDR. I am looking for either 512mb or 1gb.
    Thanks in advance.
    Christine

    Hi
    On the Satellite Pro A40 you will find 2 memory slots and you can upgrade the memory to max 2GB (2x1024MB)
    It should be possible to use these modules:
    PC2100 512MB (PA3164U-1M51)
    PC2100 1GB (PA3278U-1M1G)
    And
    PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
    PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G
    I purchase the compatible parts and devices always form the Toshiba service partner in my country because so I'm 100% sure that this parts are compatible.
    So I would recommend you also to buy the modules form the ASP in your country.

  • Memory Upgrade on Satellite Pro A60

    I have upgraded an A60 Pro with a 1GB memory up but the Control Panel /System/ General tab still shows it as having 192MB RAM. This limits me downloading some Security Software from BT Yahoo.
    Can anyone advise on how I can make the machine recognise the new RAM or is the 192 MB RAM noted different memory from the new memory upgrade?

    If you use non-compatible RAM module it is logic that system can not recognize it correctly. I do not know who is the manufacturer of this 1 GB RAM module but if you want to use compatible one pick up some info about PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G) or check Kingston web page.

  • Memory Upgrade at Satellite Pro A120-185 PSAC1E

    The original installed memory of 1GB in my trusty old A120 is now becoming a bit of a limiting factor and I want to upgrade it to the full 4GB. I've checked on this site and it says that the memory runs at 533 MHz.
    However looking at various other websites it suggests that certain varieties of this laptop can run memory running at 667 MHz - depending on its region!
    Does anybody know which the correct speed is?
    Obviously I'd like to put faster RAM in it when I upgrade it, but if it can't run it, I don't particularly want to waste money on memory I can't use.
    Thanks in advance.
    Tony

    Hi
    > However looking at various other websites it suggests that certain varieties of this laptop can run memory running at 667 MHz - depending on its region!
    Everything depends on the FSB (front side bus)
    If the FSB would allow the 667Mhz then the memory modules would run also on 667Mhz. If the FSB supports only 533Mhz then your modules will run max at 533Mhz even if the modules would support 667Mhz.
    Simply said; the FSB can slow down the memory speed.

  • Memory upgrade for Satellite Pro A60

    I would like to put in a 1gb memory chip in my current A60 as it only has 256mb built in.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - Sound Driver after Windows XP SP3 Install

    Hi,
    I had bought the Satellite Pro L40 about 6 months ago and the speed of the laptop was too slow with windows Vista. So I decided to install an old copy of windows XP that I had bought earlier. I upgraded the windows installation to SP3 before installing all the drivers.
    Now all the drivers have been installed properly except the sound driver. I downloaded the XP version of the driver from the toshiba website but it did not work. So I though maybe the vista version would work, so I downloaded that. But that didn't work either.
    Can anyone suggest a solution where I can get the sound driver to work? Preferably without having to get the windows reinstalled again.
    Please help me out...!
    Thanks

    hi there,
    Try reinstalling the soundcard driver for XP; Just go here -- > [Realtek Soundcard Driver fo XP|http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/sound-20071120150900.zip]

  • Satellite Pro L40 - What is a average battery runtime?

    Hi there,
    I just recently received my Satellite Pro L40 and am just wondering what the average battery runtime is? Once fully charged it only seems to be able to handle 1hour max. Is this normal?
    The laptop I had before was the same, but my friends laptop, which is more than a year older than mine, runs for more than 3 hours on a fully charged battery.
    Is there a fault??
    Thanks

    Hi
    It is not easy to answer this question because the battery working time depends from the notebook usage. You should know that you will be able to run the notebook much longer on battery power using only some common applications like Word or Internet Explorer.
    Playing games, watching DVDs or burning the CD/DVD waste more battery power because the performance of the single devices is much higher!!!!
    Fact is that the Pro L40 notebook was equipped with high-tech parts and devices. The notebook supports a strong Intel Pentium Dual-Core CPU, huge HDD, nice GPU and and and
    Furthermore you should know that the preinstalled Vista OS eats many resources and waste more battery power as the Win XP!!!
    All this factors has a influence on the battery working time.
    Last but not least you should know that there are different batteries on the market.
    If you want to increase the battery performance buy a stronger battery!!!

  • Satellite Pro L40: black screen but faint image in the background

    Satellite Pro L40-17H (PSL4BE-00T005EN)
    Hello,
    I would appreciate some help with the following problem:
    SYMPTOMS: Screen is black, but I can see that there is a faint image in the background.
    I get a good image in external monitor.
    I suspect, _among others_, that there may be a faulty *lid sensor/switch*, but I have been unable to locate it, although I have disassembled the unit.
    If somebody knows, please let me have the exact *location* where I should look for the switch.
    Thank you

    Thank you RandyRoberts
    You are probably right, it is likely that the inverter is faulty, or it might be a bad lamp.
    Nevertheless, I cannot exclude the possibility that there is a bad or stuck lid switch. That is why I insist to check that one out as well.
    I would still like to know where the lid switch is located on the L40.
    Thanks and regards.

  • Satellite Pro L40 wont boot after changing BIOS settings

    Alright changed a few settings in the bios last night and now when I boot I get a black screen lights flash and that hard drive light comes on but nothing on screen.
    There was no password on bios,... how would I reset BIOS to normal?
    I put a windows disk on I can hear the disk spinning but nothing on the screen
    (I think I have come to the right place on the forum)
    Its a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 model psl4be.
    Thanks

    >There was no password on bios,... how would I reset BIOS to normal?
    You can set the BIOS to default ONLY inside the BIOS so you have to access the BIOS pressing F2 or at the beginning of the booting order
    But I doubt that this problem is related to the BIOS.
    Maybe its just a simple bad luck that this issue happened just exactly after changing something in BIOS.
    Try to connect an external monitor and check if you can see something on 2nd display.

  • Satellite Pro L40 wont start

    When i turn on my Satellite Pro L40 it shows me a screen asking me to start windows repair or start windows normally.
    When choosing either option it leads me back to the same screen.
    Does anybody have any ideas?
    Many thanks

    Hi Will
    For me it looks like the installed OS was muddled up for non apparent reason
    If you are not able to boot in the Windows XP OS and if the repair option doesnt help to boot in the safe mode I dont see any other possibility as to boot from the Toshiba recovery CD and to reinstall the operating system again!
    But note; the booting from the recovery CD will format the whole HDD and you will lose all files stored on the HDD. ?
    This is a drastic procedure but in my eyes its the only one which could helps to solve this issue.

  • BIOS update issue on Satellite Pro L40-15A - Old BIOS can't recognise EEPROM

    Hi
    I'm having trouble flashing my bios.
    I have a Satellite Pro L40-15A.
    The Toshiba winflash tool that comes with the bios file tells me that the 'Old BIOS can't recognise EEPROM'
    I was recommended to use AFUDOS on another forum but that tells me the bios has an invalid boot block.
    AMI flas for dos tells me the flash rom is write-protected??? There is no option in bios to disable it and I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to put a hardware Bios protect jumper on a laptop.
    Please help
    Thx

    Hi and thanks for reply
    The 5.10 bios update is only for XP laptops, my one came with windows vista installed so I need v2.20
    "old BIOS cannot recognise EEPROM" is the error message i get when i try to flash the bios with the supplied software from Toshiba
    _+UPDATE:+_
    New verion of BIOS update has worked!!
    Case could be closed
