Questions about ram upgrade of Satellite L100 (PSLA3L)

I have the above laptop and a new stick of Ram, don't have a manual however are there instructions for upgrading this?
I've opened the back and type of clip that holds the RAM is unfamiliar to me. I can see how it goes in but it doens't clip in easily which leads me to belive i'm missing somthing, either that or it requires an ungodly amount of force.
Grateful for any assistance

Why you dont take a look into the user manual???
There is an detailed instruction placed ;)
Simply remove the cover, lift one side of the insulator sheet and fit the modules connectors into the computers connectors at about 45 degree angles. Press the module careful to ensure a firm connection.
Push the module down so it lies flat. Latches on either side will click into place to secure the module
Thats all

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

Question about HDD upgrade on Satellite M40X-184?

Hello
I want to ask if there is an option to insert a new hdd in my toshiba. As far as I know there is no official support for this??
There is an access to the place where the disk is placed on the side of notebook. S
o my question is
1. is it possible to place a new disk (faster and bigger)
2. is it possible without loosing warranty
3. what disks do you suggest
Thanks Szczepaan

Hello Hinni
Unfortunately there is no public document about that and those information has Toshiba service partner or some independent PC and notebook service specialized for upgrade.
I can just tell you that Toshiba directly dont support hardware upgrade and I have noticed that hardware upgrade is cuts into three areas:
- user upgrade (memory)
- dealer upgrade (HDD)
- service upgrade (WLAN card, BT module)
If you want to exchange the HDD alone take old out and notice all data on the sticker and talk with your local dealer if you want to buy the same but with more capacity. You can test new one and if there is some problem (not recognized by system) you can send it back any time.

Question about CPU upgrade for Satellite A30-104?

Hello,
My Satellite A30-104 has recently come to the end of its warranty, and having had to open up the heatsink for cleaning and seeing that the CPU was accessible, I wonder if there is any (likely) scope for upgrading it.
The processor is a Celeron (Northwood) 2.6GHz. I'm not looking for more grunt, I'd prefer a lower-power chip, though the much larger L2 cache of a Pentium 4 is also desirable. I'd be very grateful if anyone could advise whether any upgrades are likely available, and if so which chips would be appropriate? If I can give any more useful spec information, please ask.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for the reply -- and sorry it went ignored so long, it turns out I hadn't configured my email watches correctly :(
I appreciate that it's really a job for a technician, and I don't want to brick a perfectly good computer, but I think its EOL is not far off anyway so I'm prepared to be a little more invasive than before.
I know that I can get at the CPU, and I know the basic precautions for physically tampering with PC internals.
What I'm first of all concerned about is this: if I replace the CPU, and it doesn't function with the laptop, can this damage other parts of the system such that it'd no longer work by replacing the original?
The Celeron puts out a great deal of heat (all the time) but isn't it fair to assume that a P4-M will be less hot?

Re: Question about RAM expansion on Satellite M60

*RAM extention*:
What kind of memory should I buy if I want to extend it from 512MB to *2GB* or more for
*Satellite M60*-182 under Windows XP Home Editon with Service Pack 2
I mean: frequency, symbol, producer etc. to work properly?
oczkim

Hi,
your machine can be upgraded to a maximum main memory capacity of 2GB, which means:
to expand the memory to the maximum limit what the machine is able to, you must put 2x 1GB DDR2 S0DIMM modules with a frequency of 533Mhz in both slots of your machine.
I would suggest you the following brands: Toshiba, Kingston, OCZ
Greetings

Question about memory upgrade on Satellite A210-127

I upgraded my memory form 2Gb (2x1 Gb) to 4Gb (2x2 Gb) with two Kingston memory modules KVR667D2S5/2G (PC2-5300 CL5).
For two weeks there were no problems but then I got blue screen every time when system boots reffering to I guss memory error.
I tried to replace memory with original Toshiba's modules but blue screen remains. I have conctacted the service and they say that
it may be memory incompatibility, virus or hard disk malfunction.
After few days of working on the solution I reinstal my laptop with Toshiba DVD and replace original memory. Now everything works fine.
I wonder is Kingston memory cause of my problem or somethig else?
Does anyone know is Kingston memory KVR667D2S5/2G 2Gb compatibile with Toshiba?

I've got an answer forom Kingston Customer Service Specialist:
Dear Mr. Sekovanic,
Thank you for your e-mail and for your interest in Kingston Technology.
Please note that the memory module with the part number KVR667D2S5-2G is a ValueRAM generic part, built to industry guidelines meeting the JEDEC standard. As they are not tested on any motherboard, we cannot guarantee compatibility of these modules with a specific system.
The branded memory module KTT667D2/2G is designed, manufactured and tested in a specific systems or system series, such as the Toshiba Satellite A210-127. Although the technical specifications are quite similar we do not recommend to use the ValueRAM module on a specific system as yours.
We trust that the above information will be of assistance to you. However, should you have further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.
so it's not compatibille.

Question about memory upgrade on Satellite L20-181

Hi, there
The minimum recommended memory for Windwows XP is 256 Mb and I do not understand how the company could get away selling notebook with 256 MB with built-in graphic adapter sharing the system memory.
Anyway, I want to upgrade my Toshiba and my intention is to buy additional 512 Mb memory, such as http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=20049&ft=m&st=3
Will it work properly with 768 Mb or shall I buy only the same pairs : 256+ 256, 512+ 512?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
You can easily change your RAM modules without invalidating your warranty. You should find the procedure well documented in your user manual (or you can download a copy of the user manual from the Toshiba web site).
The RAM modules are usually located underneath a small flap at the bottom of the notebook, and are held in place with a small clip on each side. Just release the clips and the RAM module should spring up allowing you to carefully remove it. Note that it will only fit in one way (there is a small cut-out on the bottom which aligns with a peg).
Be very careful to discharge any static electricity by earthing yourself before you touch the RAM modules, they can be easily damaged by a static discharge.
regards,

Question about memory upgrade on Satellite 2140 (PS241C-2PW9XP)

I wanna upgrade my memory up to 1gb and i have a pc3200 533 stick.
I am wondering if it would be ok or do i specifically need pc2700?
Thanx :)

Hi
Do you mean the Satellite 2410 or the 2140?!
I ask it because the Satellite 2140 supports the 144-Pin PC100 SODIMM memory modules!!!
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=5523&ft=m&st=3
and
Satellite 2410 supports 200-Pin PC2100/PC2700 DDR SODIMM memory modules
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=6080&ft=m&st=3
I would use the memory modules recommended by Toshiba because in such case you can be 100% sure that the notebook will run stable and properly!!!

Question about RAM CL

Hi guys. I'm finalizing my PC build and have a question about ram CL that I cannot find answers to on the tweakers page here. http://ppbm7.com/index.php/news/planning?showall=&start=3
I'd like to use these two ram sticks as an example.
Transcend JetRam™ High-Performance 8GB DDR3-1333 240-Pin Module : CL9, 6-Layer PC Board
Transcend JetRam™ High-Performance 8GB DDR3-1600 240-Pin Module : CL11, 6-Layer PC Board, Ultimate cross-platform compatibility and stability
My question is, which is better for video editing? On the one hand we have 1333mhz at with a CL of 9. On the other, we have faster 1600mhz ram, but at a higher CL of 11. Now, I'm not one to get caught up in the technicalities like it may seem, but I do want to understand these so I can make informed decisions, especially when price is a factor. In this case however, they are the same price...

From http://ppbm7.com/index.php/news/cpu-mobo
Make up your mind about the number of memory sticks you want to install. On the X79 platform, do you want to use 4 slots, or do you want to fully populate all 8 slots? This is very important especially with i7-3930K / 4930K CPU's, which have a rather finicky memory controller.
Make a shortlist of quad or octo packs of memory sticks in the size you want, limiting yourself to ONLY sticks using 1.5V or less.
Check the motherboard manufacturer's site QVL list to see which of the sticks on your shortlist are approved. Pay attention to the number of slots for which they are approved. Some modules are approved for 4 slots only, others for fully populated use.
Check the memory manufacturer's site QVL list to see which motherboards are approved.
Try to establish if there are users that have been successful in using the sticks on your shortlist and delete any that were giving trouble to others. NewEgg can be a good source for that.
Now that you have a very short shortlist, contact the Technical Support departments of both the motherboard manufacturer and the memory manufacturer and ask them to confirm or deny the compatibility of the memory modules in the quantity you need.
If both confirm compatibility, check the physical height of the modules including heatsink in relation to the intended CPU cooler. Do they fit without modding?
In general, only buy matched sets of memory sticks. There are too many different sticks with the same type number, that will cause grief when bought as four single sticks, but you limit the risk by only buying quad sets or octo sets for fully populated X79 platforms.
CAS latency is no longer important, in fact, with the finicky nature of the memory controller of the Sandy Bridge-E, it can be advantageous to choose a higher CAS latency for improved compatibility. What can be important - relatively speaking, only in single digit % performance differences - is the rated speed of the memory, 1333 or 1600 or 2133 or even 2400.
Even though the X79 platform only supports - at least officially - up to DDR3-1600, one can use XMP profiles in the BIOS to have the memory run at its rated speed of say 2133. For my new 'Monster' I followed these steps and ended up with a fully populated 8 x 8GB octo set of G.Skill RipjawsZ F3 DDR3-2133 sticks that are running without any problems at 2180 MHz.

Re: RAM upgrade on Satellite 1800-700

I would like to upgrade my Satellite 1800-700 memory to 1024 RAM. My operating system is Windows XP. I currently have 512 RAM and the BIOS 2.20 TRAD.
However, it would allow me to install 2x512 RAM.

Standard Memory 128 MB (removable)
Maximum Memory 512 MB
Memory Expansion 2 sockets
Memory Comments PC133 SDRAM SODIMMs
CPU Type 850MHz Intel Mobile Pentium III

Satellite Pro A10 - need some info about RAM upgrade

Dear Fourm members
In regard to the above machine : please can anyone advise :- how many memory slots does it have.
I think it is two but am not sure.
Also what max size memory module can we have in this laptop please.
If it is 2 @ 1gb per module, then we would have a total of 2gb.
Is the hard drive on this machine a standard laptop hard drive. Can I take the small 20gb one out and replace it with a larger one. eg 120 gb etc
Thank you so much for your help.
Ian

On satellite Pro A10 two memory slots are available. Notebook can handle with 1 GB RAM and you can use two compatible PC2100 512MB (PA3164U-1M51) modules.
This old machine uses 2,5 HDD with old IDE connector. I found some info that it was delivered with 20GB, 30GB and 40GB HDDs. I think you can upgrade it with HDD up to 100 GB but just be sure it has the same HDD connector.
If you have more questions you are welcome.
For more info post exact model number please.
