Low RAM value on my Libretto U100

Hi. I have a Libretto U100. It is meant to have 512mb RAM. But when I check it through "My Computer" it says it has 496mb. Can someone explain why this is? Thanks.

Hi
It's because of the shared memory graphic card.
This notebook was delivered with the Intel 855GME 16MB-64MB shared memory graphic card.
If the graphic card needs more memory it takes it from the main memory.
The standard value is 16MB.
512MB-16MB=496MB ;)

Vista drivers for the Libretto U100?

I've read reports on the net of people running Vista on UMPC's such as the Samsung Q1, given that the spec of these units is lower than the Libretto it's got me thinking to install Vista on the Libretto... are Toshiba planning to release any Vista compatible drivers for the U100?
I realise it's a rare device but it'd be a nice showcase device.
thanks.

Hi, yes, I realise the Libretto is end-of-life... which is a crying shame, it's a fantastic device.
Well, to answer my own question I loaded my Vista Business Upgrade on my Libretto U100 last night. I've previously upgraded the Libretto to 1Gb of RAM and Vista upgraded without complaint. It doesn't run Glass, the particular model of Intel graphics on the Libretto is not compatible... but the OS itself seems to run well enough.
Everything so far seems to be working... network (wired and wireless) is detected and I can connect easily to my WPA protected WLAN, the graphics drivers set the resolution and colour depth correctly and sound is working.
Hibernate and suspend behave normally (as tested so far) ... the only thing I haven't tried is Bluetooth.
Hurrah.

Libretto U100 - unrecognised modules after disk upgrade

Hi
Please help me find solution or dedicated to U100 service place.
This is a case:
I have bought Libretto U100 from some guys (his property),libretto assembled with 30 GB and 512 RAM .. I changed the RAM to 1GB and ask my IT specialist (friend of mine) to change disk...everything went ok...
After the change I installed some winmx version... with all drivers taken from Toshiba support (drivers to u100)... one of them was BIOS upgrade ....
After all I found that my hardware manager showing some mistake ... mass storage (yellow mark informing -no drivers), Ethernet module (the same-no driver) and fire wire (133smth) informing that cannot start that service....
In the same time I found that Ethernet is probably Wi-Fi which are not recognised by winxp (switch working and led is going on or off depending of my action)....
What to do with that? Is there any "wise" service in my part of the Europe (Poland)?
Thx for help
Andrew

Go to Solution.

You can check if it's an original Lenovo product HERE or HERE (use Google translate)
Again I'm not aware of a 512MB RAM version.
My personal opinion is that you have a lower spec S890 meant to be sold only in mainland China.
Probably the seller installed a custom firmware(modified Chinese version) with GAPPS(the Chinese firmwares are only CN/EN and don't include GAPPS>Google services)...
....They do that to cover a wider international market.
The EMEA region version has 1GB of RAM...

Libretto U100 VGA Cable

I've been looking around for an additional VGA adapter cable for my Libretto U100 so I can have one on the monitor both at home and at work. Unfortunately, I've not been able to locate anybody selling them, and they're not listed on Toshiba's site as an accessory.
Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase these cables from anywhere?

Hi
Well, as far as I know the Libretto 100U uses a Mini-RGB port to connect an external video display.
Unfortunately, it was not able for me to find this cable or adapter. But I would recommend to contact the ASP. Im sure that he has a possibility to sell you this part.

Libretto U100: Screen to small playing movie with Express Media Player

Hello.
I have a Toshiba Libretto U100 with DVD Dock, and when I use Express Media Player to play DVDs, the image on the screen is too small. I have look for the way to make it play in full screen mode, but I haven't been successful.
Now the questions.
It's there a way to change to full screen mode? If so, please detail.
If it isn't possible with the included version, it's there a new version or upgrade available with this feature? where can I get (if it is free) or buy (if it is not) it?
Thanks in advance and best regards. Your help would be very appreciated.

Oh yes, you can if you get close enaugh !! . I only use it for travels.
Thank you very much for that fast and usefull answer. I have checked the "full screen" check box, have turn off the computer to start in "Express media player mode", and it works full screen.
And about screen borders, they are bigger in surface than that of the picture. Absurd, isn't it?
Nice to have received the answer from other spanish. I'm spanish too.
Muchas gracias, Juan28.

Low RAM space after Yosemite update...

My mac has been experiencing low RAM space after the Yosemite update... I have a MacBook pro retina display 13" with an 8GB RAM. I also have RAM cleaning softwares but they don't seem to help much... How do I solve this?

Decreasing RAM space doesn't tell you much because of the way OS X is supposed to work (using nearly all available RAM).
Does your Mac slow down significantly?

Lower SAR values -- More sold BB phones!

Dear community,
Dear BB smartphone antenna developers,
I want to point to the fact that the lowest SAR (specific absorption rate) values for mobile phones have been reached by Samsung over approximately the last 6 years. Samsung Galaxy models have extremly low values of about < 0.4 W/kg. A detailed list of phone models and SAR values can be found on the German website http://handywerte.de/index.php.
Samsung Galaxy phones show a very good voice quality despite the fact that they "irradiate less". Hence, I wonder why Blackberry does not aim at low SAR values, either? There is a great selling potential for Blackberry as there are many customers who chose a phone with regard to the SAR value - and nowadays chose Samsung.
Despite the fact that there is no scientific study that indicates a harmful effect of cell phone radiation on human health, Blackberry could sell much more phones with lower SAR values - threre are still many people out there paying attention to the SAR value.
With kind regards
BBsupporter

Hi BillJ,
you are right, of course, that low SAR values are not the only reason to buy a phone, and, thus, do not automatically equate higher sales rates.
Whether you have found people who are interested in SAR values or not, depends on the target audiance you are talking to: For instance, if you support business customers who have to ensure security and stabilitiy in the communication systems of their company, then the phantastic characteristics of blackberry phones and services (for which I love blackberry, by the way) is the main focus.
However, I am an electrical engineer and have worked in the field of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). When working with EMC, after some time I had to face a citizen's initiative regarding cell phone radiation. I was surprised and realized that there actually are people who think about a possibly harmful effect of cell phone radiation on human health.
As I said, I am an electrical engineer, and there is till today NO scientific proof for any harmful effect of cell phone radiation. But let us look on it from a BB economic selling point of view: There are different reasons for people to buy a cell phone: a good OS, brilliant display, good camera, long lasting battery, comfortable keyboard, stylish body, big memory, brilliant loudspeakers, etc. ... If there are people out there, who wish a low SAR, then let me tell you that there is NOTHING that can be easier achieved than a lower SAR!
For instance, to improve the camera significantly, you will have to use better lenses, a better sensor and maybe the software will have to be adjusted for a better image signal processing (noise suppression). This means significant effort for BlackBerry. As an EMC engineer I can tell you that the effort for changing the SAR is negligible - it requires only slight changes in the antenna design. So, if the effort is practically zero, why not do it?
What is my motivation? I love BlackBerry devices and just want BB to be successful again. It is sad to see that blackberry had so much problems in the past. E.g. I myself think that opening the door for Android in the OS 10 is absolutely necessary and will help to get back customers.
Hence, my post about the SAR was just to suggest how BlackBerry can even better fulfill some specific customer wishes. If the effort in changing the antenna design is practically zero, if there are practically no costs for the changes, and the voice quality can still be excellent (as shown by Samsung's Galaxy devices), then why not reduce the SAR?
Kind regards

How to solve the problem me low Ram on C6-00?

My nokia C6-00 is just 22 days old.I have been facing a lot of problems due to low ram.120MB for a smart phone is quite so low.When I use it for apps like IBN LIVE here in India it just asks to close some applications since memory is full!So I need to leave what I had been doing and use ramblow or mobile guard to free up memory and come back to it.It it cant handle multitasking what kind of a smart phone is this?Any suggestion of a good ram booster or memory booster?
In Love With My C6-01:Now running on Nokia Belle!

OK, don't get desperate... I think I found a little help, but yes, I'm aware that our device has serious problems with its RAM memory.
Step 1: upgrade software to v.40.2.021 (or a newer one if that exists).
Step 2: disable the automatic key lock (you better enable/disable it manually)
Step 3: disable touch screen vibrations and sounds (have you noticed that our device responds better and faster when you put it on 'silence' mode?).
Step 4: Use the RAMblow Pro application and, very important: enable the memory boost option. I'm not using the automatic option. I put the RAMblow widget on main screen and use it manually, several times a day.
Step 5: Don't use NetQin antivirus nor Mobile Guard. They are good, but they consume a lot or RAM memory. I'm using Kaspersky right now and it's working fine (the problem is that it's not for free).
My free RAM memory has increased and now my cell phone is not hangin like it used before.
If you find other ways of improving our device performance, please tell me.
Greetings.

Tecra M10-1H4 - Changing shared video RAM value?

Hi there,
I have a Tecra M10, with the standard 2GB of RAM, I also added an extra 256mb in the available RAM slot. Can I change the shared Graphics RAM value? In the properties of XP Pro I can see it is set at 1024MB which is silly since I only have 2.25GB in the machine.
I can't seem to locate any settings even in the BIOS, where I thought I could change this. It is a mobile Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics chip. Any help is appreciated...
I also seem to get some horrible slow downs on the laptop too, when I have about 10 different windows open, (be it the same app or different ones) when I switch to a different window/app on occasion I have to wait for the laptop to redraw the new window very slowly?
I've updated the driver too - claims i'm on: 6.14.10.4953
Cheers
TC

Hi buddy,
No, you cant change the value of video memory. Everything will be controlled automatically and there is no value in BIOS or display driver where you can change this.
Video RAM depends on RAM you use on your notebook. Increasing system memory the values for total available graphic memory, decided video memory and shared system memory will be higher and higher.
So, to get more video RAM upgrade your notebook with more system RAM.

Lower RAM slot damage caused by 3rd party RAM?

I took my 1.33 ghz 15" powerbook G4 in to be repaired this past Friday. The lower RAM slot was not working (as a note, this slot contained the original RAM that came from Apple). Upon noticing that 256 megs I had in there was missing from system profiler, I removed the 3rd party 512 RAM and placed the 256 Apple RAM there, I placed the 512 meg card in the other slot, and then 512 megs were missing when I booted up. Clearly both sticks of RAM worked, the problem was the slot. I took it into Apple.
They called me today to tell me the system was repaired. They also told me something that I don't believe and don't even think is possible: The 3rd party RAM is what caused the problem. The reasons I don't believe this? I have never heard of faulty RAM breaking a RAM slot in my life, it just doesn't work. Also, the RAM worked in there for a long time prior to it not working. I have also heard of a system update which breaks the lower RAM slot, and Apple issuing a recall on a range of powerbooks as a result to replace the motherboard. True, my powerbook is not in the range of serial numbers, but I also know that there are many people who have this problem that are not in the range Apple has recalled.
The RAM was installed free of charge at the store I bought it from (a non-Apple mac store in Los Angeles). It was never removed until I noticed that the RAM was not being detected, and it was the slot, not the RAM that proved defective.
What do you guys think? Could that have legitimately been the problem? Or did Apple just not know what was wrong, fixed the board, and made that up in the hopes of getting me to buy some overpriced Apple RAM?

Hey, whatever mod deleted the reply to this and my subsequent reply to that, why don't you tell me an accurate response? Tell me exactly how working RAM could break the RAM slot it wasn't even plugged into.
Otherwise, Apple is telling a bunch of bull and refusing to admit to a product flaw. Why delete a post speculating on such an issue? All it does is lend credence to the speculation. I believe that it is the case all the more now that you have deleted the posts.

Whats all needed to remove to change the lower RAM?

I ordered a 256 Meg low profile ram chip for my lombard. I was gonna pop it in the top slot but i figure might as well do the bottom one. I know u have to use a credit card or soemthing plastic and flat to raise the processer board and remove the lower RAM and put the new one in and i guess put the 64 MEG chip in the top slot for now. Some instructions i seen online require removing the model, PRAM battery and hardrive in order to do this. Whats is needed exactly? These instructions were from pbfixit.com. I dont see why the modem is needed but maybe i am not seeing something. I could just put it in the top slot but eventually i will have to do the bottom so might as well now.

The PowerBook FixIt guides are a little elaborate, all you will need to do is lift the processor card after lifting the keyboard, removing the upper metal shield and the screws holding the card down (if it has the plastic tab still attached pull it while GENTLY levering with a plastic item). Install the RAM and then refit the processor card pressing down FIRMLY on the connector area. Finally install the top RAM.
Make sure you ground yourself by touching the 'Book's metal frame before starting and don't do the upgrade while stood on carpet or sat in a chair that has an artificial covering if you can help it.
I believe the Lombard only has a small heatsink so you shouldn't need to remove it before removing the processor card and I've never had to remove any of the other parts to fit lower RAM..

Lower RAM defect after upgrading to 10.4.4

I have an early model Aluminum Powerbook G4 (1Ghz) and now have the lower
ram slot problem. I do feel the problem potentially exists in all the Aluminum 15" models. It's quite amazing how many things have happens since getting this powerbook. First battery problems (recall), then screen problems (extended warranty offered-took awhile thought) and now this. Does anyone
know if the replacement logic boards being offered are any less prone to
give out? It would be a drag to pay and have it breakdown again (of course after
any warranty period).

I'm beginning to think this is a software problem related to Tiger. It seem to me, nearly everyone with this issue experienced this "lower slot" problem when upgrading to 10.4x.
I am still on Panther 10.3.9, and I recently upgraded my lower slot memory, taking out the stock 256MB module, and putting in a 512MB one. It's early days, but it's working fine, and system profiler is recognizing the new 512MB RAM in the lower slot.
You actually had the lower slot stop working, AFTER you upgraded to 10.4.4.? Sounds like I could be onto something! Are you listening Apple!!
The problem seems to be worse in the newer machines (1.67 and the newer hi res models), but now it seems, that anyone with an Aluminium 15" Powerbook can get the problem.
I heard of one guy having 4 different logic boards in his Powerbook, so it doesn't seem to me to be the solution to the problem! Until Apple actually find the proper cause, and fix it, I certainly won't be upgrading to 10.4, just to be on the safe side.
