Memory upgrade on a Satellite Pro 4270XDVD

Hello,
I need some help. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270XDVD Notebook. I want to increase my memory as I have only the 64 megs that come with it. When I open the back of the computer to check the memory slots there are 2 empty ones. There is a Slot A and B. The problem is Slot A is broken. The 2 clips that hold the memory in are missing. Someone broke them off. Memory Slot B looks okay and I can put a stick of memory in it. The problem is my manual says not to use slot B if slot A is empty. Do you know why this is? Also is there any way of fixing the clips in Slot A without replacing the whole motherboard.
Thanks for your help,
Brad

Hi Webmonkey
I think You can use slot B without any problem. If You have the memory expansion already then just try to insert it and check it out.
Normally on Toshiba notebooks there is no difference in priority between the memory slots.
Please note: I can not guarantee this for all models - but I say this from experience on some of them.

  • Memory Upgrade for a Satellite Pro 4320

    I own a Satellite Pro 4320. It has the factory installed memory (64 Mb), and I want to expand it. I read in the manual that it is possible to install up to 576 Mb. But in other web pages and documents, I read that 320 Mb is the maximum memory.
    Does anybody know what is the right number?
    Does anybody know where to find 256 Mb modules(if they can be installed)? I have found only 128 Mb modules.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    I have found information that 320 MB are max. for this unit. I have also no lucky to find 256 MB RAM module for this unit. There are two possibilities. Either you can contact service partner in your country and order one module or you must find some notebook hardware parts offerer in your country.

  • 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

  • Upgrading my old Satellite Pro L300-1A9 (PSLB 9E)

    Hi there! i am going to upgrade the cpu, ram, hdd and maybe heatsink. I would be very grateful if someone could help me
    Here are the basic specs of the laptop:
    Intel Centrino 2 Platform CPU: Intel Dual Core T3200 (2Ghz, 667 Mhz FSB, 1 MB L2).
    Chipset Intel GL40 Express
    Integrated GPU: Intel GMA 4500MHD (1341 MB, PCIExpress 16x)
    2+1 GB RAM DDR2 800 Mhz
    HDD 160 GB 5.400 rpm Serial ATA-2.
    I'd like to keep the upgrade under 200 EUR but i'm flexible. I am buying from Spain. These are the parts i've looked at
    T9300 6M Cache, 2.50 GHz, 800 MHz FSB --> 58 EUR here
    4GB DDR2 800MHz sodimm RAM --> 55 EUR here, here or for example here
    MX100 SSD --> 69 EUR 128GB or 99 EUR 256 GB
    Cheap heatsink for socket P (478) --> around 10 EUR, i.e. here or here or here
    Now my queries :
    Will all this be compatible?
    Do you know any site where i can get cheaper ram? I'd love to get 2x4 GB
    Is there any problem about the heatsink upgrade? Do you know if socket 775 heatsinks are compatible with 478? I ask because i like Zalman CNPS 8900 (33 EUR) but in the official documentation only mention 775 socket but i've read it is compatible (i can't find the link but i swear xD) Here is a post explaining the installation of this heatsink.
    If you have any advice or info i should read before doing this please tell, thanks for reading, cheers!

    You wouldn't need to upgrade the heatsink from a T3200 to a T9300.  The parts you listed should all work.  I have several posts on here about upgrading the L305 and L355's, which are the same series as the L300 and L350's.

  • CPU upgrade of my Satellite Pro L300-152

    hello
    my laptop is a :
    Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-152
    Model no. PSLB1E-01R015EN
    Celeron 560 2.13GHz
    Can someone tell me which CPU I can safely upgrade this with, I use it in a fairly cool environment and would like just a few more 100mhz from it.
    Thank you for your support

    Before we start discussion about CPU upgrade check please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
    My personal opinion is that CPU upgrade will not help much and you will not realize some big difference in notebook performance. In my opinion you need more RAM or better and faster SSD. This brings better and more performance than some CPU with 100mhz more than old one.

  • Memory upgrade on a Satellite A100-912

    I own a Satellite a100-912 and I want to upgrade its memory!
    As it seems, this model supports only PC2-4200 DDR2 SODIMM modules (533 Mhz). Before bying a memory module that might regret, I want to know if there will be any compatibility issues if I use to this laptop PC2-6400 DDR2 SODIMM module (800 Mhz).
    Is it going to work even at lower clock speed (533 Mhz) or is it going to be a total waste of money?

    As far as I know the FSB is able to handle 667Mhz modules.
    You can use lower modules (533Mhz) without any problems but modules with higher Mhz will not run with full speed due to the limited FSB.
    So I dont recommend buying 800Mhz modules. Firstly they are not supported and secondly its waste of money!

  • Memory upgrade on Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1NL

    I bought the Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1NL from argos yesterday. It came with 4GB of RAM. I want to upgrade it to 8GB. Can anybody help with upgrading process. Also will upgrading the RAM void the warranty.
    Regards
    SD

    Im not L50-B owner but I guess there is no separate access to the memory modules at the bottom of the unit.
    Right?
    In such case its necessary to remove the bottom plastic cover and this will definitely void the warranty!!!
    If you want to keep the warranty valid, dont upgrade the RAM by yourself.
    This must be done by authorized service engineer.

  • Memory Upgrade to Mac Book Pro 13.3" late 2011

    I have Mac Book Pro 13.3" Late 2011 edition.i want to upgrade memory from 4 Gb to 16 Gb.would be possible as it says it does support only 8 Gb.

    Yes, you can upgrade to 16GB - all 2011-2012 non-Retina models can be upgraded to 16GB.
    Your Mac uses the same type of memory as mine - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270.
    Crucial, Corsair & OWC all manufacture RAM specifically 'made for Macs'. To start, I would visit the Crucial website and use their System Scanner to show the possible upgrade paths for your machine.
    Good luck - call back with any questions.

  • Memory upgrade problems on Satellite L30-134

    I have just bought 2 x 1GB memory PC4200 for my L30-134 and installed them they work fine in BIOS, show up and read as they should do, but when windows is booting up it will crash with both modules installed, only ever gets to the screen with the loading bar going across and then I get blue screen.
    Forgot to make a note of the error code I am afraid... (Fool I know). If I remove one of the modules and install the original 512 module with just 1 of the 1GB ones it will work fine. BIOS has been updated to the latest 3.10 version and still I get the same problem...
    because all seems fine from within BIOS I am thinking that its more likely to be a software (windows) problem of some kind maybe some corrupt data in the registry or a virus maybe... has anybody any ideas?
    Also, the laptop is actually my step sons and he really wants to have the CPU upgraded from the Celeron 410 to one that's a little faster. When first looking into this we was told that several CPUs were compatible (although not really worth the hassle of installing) they were cel m 450 2 GHz, pent dual core t2060 and t2080, and also the core duo t2250,so he bought the t2250,and no surprises it wouldn't work, or should I say it powered up with no display and the shut off and just epeated the cycle. So did not take a genius to work out it wasn't compat...
    I know the t2080 are used in the L30's and are 1.73 533 FSB with 1MB L2 cache- 65nm and do stepping. The t2250 is identical apart from the L2 cache is 2MB and the stepping varies from do to mo depends when u bought it... seeing as ow he already has the CPU he's gonna sell it on and use the cash to buy the one that will work. If anybody has any info that could help make sure that he does not end up going round in circles I would really appreciate it...
    Oh and just to make you all laugh it was Toshiba tech line staff member that told him that the CPU would work and that the L30 was able to take 2 x 1GB memory and never once mentioned that there may be issues with both upgrades...
    Issues as in neither soddin work....lmao

    Hi!
    The specs. you posted are correct. Xpress 200 could support dual channel: "Variants available with single or dual channel system memory support ". But there is nothing about dual channel mode in Xpress 200M specs. I have identical modules, but EVEREST doesn't say the modules are running in dual channel mode. So I think the info you found on the website gives the answer, but here are some explanation from Wikipedia to clarify the definitions:
    *Dual-channel:*
    "Dual-channel-enabled memory controllers utilize two 64-bit data channels, resulting in a total bandwidth of 128-bits, to move data from RAM to the CPU. In order to achieve this, two or more DDR/DDR2 SDRAM memory modules must be installed into matching banks, which are usually color coded on the motherboard. These separate channels allow each memory module access to the memory controller, increasing throughput bandwidth."
    *DDR:*
    "DDR SDRAM or double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory is a class of memory integrated circuit used in computers. It achieves greater bandwidth than the preceding single data rate SDRAM by transferring data on the rising and falling edges of the clock signal (double pumped). Effectively, it doubles the transfer rate without increasing the frequency of the memory bus."
    *DDR2:*
    "Like DDR before it, DDR2 cells transfer data both on the rising and falling edge of the clock (a technique called "dual pumping"). The key difference between DDR and DDR2 is that in DDR2 the bus is clocked at twice the speed of the memory cells, so four words of data can be transferred per memory cell cycle. Thus, without speeding up the memory cells themselves, DDR2 can effectively operate at twice the bus speed of DDR."
    *UMA (Unified Memory Architectrue):*
    "In computer architecture, Shared Memory Architecture (SMA) refers to a design where the graphics chip does not have its own dedicated memory, and instead shares the main system RAM with the CPU and other components."

  • Memory Upgrade on a Satellite 1800-712

    Hello,
    I want to upgrade the RAM of my 1800-712.
    Actually, i have an SDRAM PC133 256 MB.
    It's strange as the bus on this type of machine seems to be at 100 Mhz !
    I want to install a Kingston Memory in the second slot.
    So, is it mandatory to install the KTT SO100/256 memory (compatible as the Kingston configurator shows), or can i put the KTT SO133/256 ?
    As the second is cheaper, i would want to install it ?
    Can you confirm the compatibility ?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    It is recommended to use the module with the same bus speed. Probably it will work but in my opinion you should not look at the money just on compatibility and be sure that upgrade parts will not be damaged.

  • Memory upgrade on a macbook pro 13 mid 2012

    Hello all,
    I am a proud owner of a new MBP 13 2012 and the installed memory on it is 4gb. I would like to know if the max memory it supports is 8gb or 16gb. I have seen on this forum both options. The information on the Apple site states that the max memory is 8gb, but on OWC's site i can see that they confirm the memory can be extended to 16gb.
    Being a newbie on this platform, i would like your guidance on this. Should i upgrade to 8gb or 16gb?
    Many thanks for your help, and Merry Christmas to all!

    16 GB is the maximum.  OWC is an excellent source for RAM as well as Crucial.  Do not hesitate to install it.  I did.
    The exact specifications are:  204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM 
    Ciao.
