Memory upgrade on Satellite L300

I purchased a satellite L300 in august 08 in Australia. It came with a single 1Gb memory module which is now inadequate.
I obtained 2 x 2Gb modules but cannot get it to work with both fitted. Bios reports 4Gb fitted but Vista reboots the first time then blue screens. Ubuntu Linux hangs after loading HAL.
If only one module fitted it works OK and it does not matter which module is used.
Any info on this would be most appreciated.

Hi
Either the chipset is not able to handle 4GB RAM or there is a compatibility issues between both modules.
This is nothing unusual and happens very often that both modules cannot work together.
In your case I recommend testing other modules.
PS: Be sure that BIOS is up to date... if it's not up to date, then update it and then test both modules again...

  • Processor upgrade on Satellite L300-1BV

    I've already upgraded the laptop from a T1600 (Celeron), to a T3200 (Pentium Dual Core). But does anyone know how far I can upgrade in the 478 P range of processors?
    If so, could you supply the processor numbers?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to upgrade the memory for the Satellite A60-218 models?
    I've heard that the memory is onboard (internal) and cannot be replaced. Is this true?
    If not, could somebody give me a hint where can I find the memory modules on this model?
    I have tried disassembling it without success.
    Thanks!
    Levente

  • 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

    Hi
    You have several ways to find out what memory module is compatible and supported.
    You can use a diagnostic too like Everest, you will check the user manual or the Toshiba website for details or you will contact the service in your country for supported modules.
    I will try to answer the question: The Satellite A50 should support PC2700 DDR-RAM like these parts:
    PC2700 256MB (PA3311U-1M25)
    PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
    PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
    Now its your choice. You can also google for the offers
    By the way: Visit the Toshiba Options & accessories site. There you will find compatible parts

  • 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 for Satellite L30-134

    I have a Satellite L30-134 which appears to be running quite slowly - I think due to large amount of photos and itunes music.
    I am wondering which is the easiest way to resolve - buy a memory upgrade (no idea how to change the memory though) or get an external hard drive?
    And if I change the memory will I lose what is already saved on the laptop?

    I agree with Ganz the bigger HDD will not improve the performance but only increase the available HDD space it would helps you to store more music and pic files on the HDD ;)
    The memory upgrade would also not bring an performance boost of course the performance would be a little bit better because the most stuff would be handled directly in the memory and not temporally on the HDD but generally its not really noticeable.
    Anyway if you want to upgrade the memory check this:

    You have to use DDR2 533MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM

  • Is graphic card upgrade on Satellite L300-21W possible?

    Hi!
    I`m thinking to buy Toshiba Satellite L300-21W but i wat to play some games on it like Cod2 but I think that her serial graphic card is weak so my question is:
    " CAN I REPLACE GRAPHIC CARD WITH BETTER ONE OR NOT( and with which one if you know)!?!?!??!"
    Thank you!

    As far as I know graphic card on mobile computers cannot be upgraded. This is also described in follow document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
    So if you want to play different games with your notebook pick up info about models with better graphic cards.
    I can recommend you to check Satellite A300/A350 notebook models.
    Talk with your local dealer.

  • 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 on Satellite L30

    I have a Satellite L30-11D and I am wanting to upgrade the memory modules in it, I have found this;
    Part Number: PA3411S-2M1G
    1024MB (1GB) Memory PC2-4300 DDR2 (533MHz)
    and it will work but im unsure on this - can you have more than one plugged into my laptop?
    Please help!!!

    Of course you can do more then one memory module. On your Satellite notebook there are two slots available and you can put two memory modules. Your notebook can handle with max 2 GB of RAM.
    According the notebook specification you should have now 512 MB of RAM. New 1GB module put in place where is now placed 512 MB module and old one put into empty slot.
    If you need more assistance please write again.
