1 Gig Ram upgrade on a Satellite A60-302

Hi there, 1st time user here
I bought a Sodimm DDR 333mhz 1gig ram card for my Satellite A60-302 and installed it today - but with no luck
The notebook turns on but the screen stays black and then the notebook turns itself off, it's also emitted a continuous beeping sound. I thought it was because the RAM was too much but it can handle 1280MB of RAM and has 256in built so it should be able to handle it
The RAM hasn't been touched by static-hands so can anyone help?
Many thanks
Matt

Youre right. The unit should be able to handle the 1024Mb memory module in a single slot.
I have only one explanation why the notebook will not run after the upgrade.
Either the module is not right and not compatible or its simply corrupt.
I recommend using the modules recommended by Toshiba.
These are:
PC2700 256MB (PA3311U-1M25)
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
The PA3313U-1M1G is a SO DIMM 200-pin DDR 333 MHz PC2700 memory module.

  • Satellite A60-302: CD drive read DVDs and CDs but not burned discs

    I have a Toshiba laptop: Satellite A60-302 and I have a problem with the cd drive. It can read dvds and discs that I buy but it wont read all burned discs (even ones that I burned with the laptops own burner). Only from time to time it will read a burned disc.
    I have tried cleaning the cd drives laser eye but it didnt help.
    Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    Hi
    This sounds like the CD burner doesnt burn CD properly.
    You have suggested that you have used different kinds of CDs.
    In the user manual you will find a list of compatible medias.
    These medias was tested and should works properly.
    But if this happens with all CDs so possibly the drive cannot works properly and only a replacement could solve this issue.

  • Question about Ram upgrade on a Satellite A110 machine

    Hi,
    I wonder if i can replace my 512 MB PC 4200Mhz SO-DIMM DDRII with a 2 GB PC 5300Mhz SO-DIMM DRRII i to my A110 Satellite?
    thanks in advande.
    /Mattias

    The notebook can be upgraded up to 2GB. You could use max 1GB RAM module in one memory slot!
    The notebook seems to support the 533MHZ FSB and therefore I should be possible to use the 533Mhz memory modules too

  • Question about Ram upgrade on a Satellite Pro A200

    I want to purchase some internal memory for my A200 Satellite Pro Mod No,PSAE1E but I cannot find my model in the drop down lists, which memory do I need, I want to upgrade using two 1GB memory sticks, at present I have two 512MB sticks installed.

    Hi
    The compatible modules are: *DDR2 667MHz (PC2-5300) 200-PIN SODIMM*
    As far as I know all notebooks from the A200 series can be upgraded up to *2GB* .
    This means that one memory slot would support max 1GB RAM module.
    As the previous user already said, the Kingston modules are not bad.
    I use it in my notebook too and till now the modules are ok.
    Cheers

  • Question about Ram upgrade on a Satellite A200

    hi friends,
    i`ve a Satellite A200-13O with 120GB HDD, 1.8GHz Intel Centrino Duo, 1GB ram but it has 2 512 chips installed.
    if i upgrad 2 1 GB ram is there any chance of improvement in performance....??
    and what if i upgrade to 2GB dual channel....??
    it has Windows Vista Ultimate...!!
    Thanks,
    Nagal

    You mean you would use only one 1GB ram module?
    Well, you would still have 1GB RAM but the dual channel cannot be used due to missing of second module.
    So if you can, try to use exactly the same 2 modules to get the best memory performance.
    The notebook supports two memory slots therefore you cannot do anything wrong insert 2 modules into the 2 slots to run the modules in dual channel

  • RAM upgrade for a Satellite A100-847

    I would like to upgrade the RAM for my A100-847 from my current 512 MB by adding another module for 512 MB but i face a compatibility problem because looking at the manual the only compatible modules are the following:
    256 MB: PA3389U-1M25
    512 MB: PA3412U-1M51
    1 GB: PA3411U-1M1G
    I tried looking for a module with these codes but I didn't find any in Romania. I could find a module from another manufacturer with the same specification but I don't know if these would function properly .
    So I need some advice .
    Thanks,
    Bobby

    Hi,
    which manufacturer you have seen? If they have the same specs, then they should fit. The best decision would be to take some kingston or crucial modules. They were tested to work well with toshibas, so just consider buying some kingstons with the specs of the original toshiba modules and have fun with them.
    In case of some further question just ask.
    Greetings

  • Memory upgrade to 1GB RAM on Satellite A60

    I have Satellite A60 and I want to update the memory from 256MB to 1GB
    Please can I do it?

    Hi
    Maybe the link to this Toshiba Satellite A60 memory website could help you too:
    http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=8333&ft=m&st=3
    As mentioned there is only one upgradeable memory slot and you could use the 200-Pin PC2700 (333Mhz) DDR SODIMM modules.
    Usually its not matter what manufacture it is. Only the memory specifications are important.
    Bye

  • Satellite A60: Integrated Radeon 7000 Graphics Memory Upgrade

    Hi Everybody!
    I was wondering if I could get up to 128MB RAM on my Integrated ATI Radeon 7000 IGP?
    Maybe I could upgrade my RAM to 1GB to get 128MB video RAM on my Radeon 7000?
    Thanks!
    suddste

    Hi
    It would be very interesting to know the detailed name of your unit Satellite A60-xxx because some models were delivered with the shared memory graphic card and it should be possible to change the memory up to max 64 MB.

  • Graphic card upgrade on Satellite A60

    My Queston is if there is any possibitity to change my Radeon Mobility 7000 igp of my Satellite A60 for a better card or do i have to by a complete new Mainboard?

  • CPU upgrade on Satellite A60

    Hello, i want to upgrade the cpu on my Satellite A60 celeron d345, what kind of processors are supported?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I can not give you any informations about the CPU prices because it depends on the computer dealer.
    Mostly the online dealers are much cheaper. So simply use a search-and-compare prices engine in the net.
    Now something about the motherboard compatibility:
    The Toshiba Satellite A60 is a full size notebook PC based on the Intel Portability P4 processor, providing high-speed processing capabilities and advanced features.
    In my knowledge the motherboard should be ale to handle the Intel P4 (Northwood), P4 (Prescott) and Celeron (Northwood) CPUs.
    - P4 (Northwood) 2.66/2.8/3.06/3.2 GHz
    - P4 (Prescott) 518(2.8 GHz)/532(3.06 GHz)/538(3.2 GHz)/552(3.46 GHz)/558(3.60 GHz)
    - Celeron (Northwood) 2.5/2.6/2.7/2.8 GHz
    - Celeron (Prescott) 325(2.53 GHz) / 330 (2.66 GHz) / 335(2.8 GHz) 340 (2.93G) / 345 (3.066 GHz) / 350(3.2 GHz)
    But note; everything what you do is at your own risk!!

  • Satellite A210-17X - PSAFGE-03600LFR - DVD-RAM upgrade

    Hello,
    I currently have a Toshiba laptop Satellite A210-17X - PSAFGE-03600LFR, after upgrading RAM and HDD, I would need some help to upgrade my DVD-RAM. The original MAT****A (Panasonic) DVD-RAM UJ-870 is not working any more because the laser cell seems to be damaged, it will not recognize any disk whether CD-ROM or DVD and firmaware update provided by Toshiba Europe Support did not change any thing.
    Because I need to replace it, I would rather like to install a more recent, more performant, quieter model, but I am having difficulties finding such replacement.
    First of all, the front "faade" of the current drive is smaller on the right hand-side than on the left hand-side and most model I find have a rectangular "faade" - i.e. both sides have the same size so it will not fit in the laptop. Is that "faade" removeable so that I could take that of the old drive off and put it on the new one?
    Would someone be able to provide me with some help in choosing the correct replacement drive?
    Thank you in advance
    Kind regards
    Eric

    Hi PauPau, Hi Macius,
    This is brilliant thank you very much for that information. I will be looking into it shortly. I am currently struggling a bit to upgrade another Toshiba Satellite with W7 x64 Ultimate but that I will post in another subject.
    Yes, thank you for asking, I found out how to remove/install DVD-RAM on my laptop. I upgraded the HDD which was getting unhealthy. I upgraded RAM and I also opened the laptop case so that I could get to the fan and clean it.
    I will let you know how I am doing once I will have purchased and installed a new DVD-RAM. Although I am still wondering whether it is worth it. I know that it is very practical in many cases, but I have learned to use USB bootable Flash drive since my BIOS Firmware upgrade allows me to boot from such devices.
    Otherwise, I do not really use CD-ROM/DVD-RAM anymore, NAS, external HDD, Mem sticks, SDHC cards, etc.. are so much more convenient to use.
    Would you mind sharing your point of view on this?
    Cheers
    Eric

  • SATELLITE C55D-B5212 Ram Upgrade?

    I really would like to know if I can upgrade this specific model of my laptop. I want to put more ram into my system (8 or up to 16 if possible). So if someone could get back to me on this, it would really help. And if anyone knows if Toshiba or a basic company like Best Buy would do the upgrade for me, that would also help a lot!

    I want to upgrade my Toshiba Satellite M100-222 RAM to maximum. My laptop supports 4 GB of RAM.
    Laptop's current RAM is factory default I bought my laptop with 1 GB RAM:
    2x Hynix HYMP564S64BP6-C4 - 512 MB (DDR2-533, 266 MHz)
    Please advise... whether to purchase these memory modules:

  • Satellite A60 memory upgrade doesn't work - help

    Hi, I have a Satellite A60-793 and I would like to upgrade the memory adding a 512 MB to currently installed memory.
    I tried to install a 512MB PC2700 DDR 333MHz SODIMM module, but system won't boot up: it emits a long whistle, then shuts down automatically. If I remove the module, system boots properly.
    I've allready updated my BIOS, i there anything more I can do to make it work?

    Well I apreciate your attention.
    But I still have a doud here, do you think it may be solved if I change the actual 8chip module for one 16chip module low density with the same caracteristics? I was told these were more compatible modules.
    Any advise for this?
    Thanks!

  • Satellite A60 - possible ram problem

    i have a satellite a60 it says it has 256 of ram. on running my aol computer check up it informs me that i have only 192 of ram anyone any idea what the problem could be?
    [Edited by: admin on 22-May-05 20:28]

    Hi there,
    I suspect that your RAM is shared with your graphics card (usually 64 Mb) so although you actually have 256 Mb of RAM, 64 Mb is pre-allocated for graphics use leaving 192 Mb. Your AOL computer chack is reporting the available RAM rather than the actual RAM
