Satellite A110-260 doesn't run after RAM upgrade

A110-260 - 512 MB Ram - 533 MHZ - 100GB - BIOS V1.20 (2 years old)
Hello,
my first attempt to upgrade my RAM failed.
After correct installation of 2 Kingston 1GB Ram (Typ: RMN 2-.800/1GB SO-Dimm DDR 2), my notebook didn't start again, only 5 short sounds (in owners manual: not the right extended memory).
Curios: 1 Kingston 1 GB-Ram mixed with original Toshiba 512 MB-Ram, the notebook boots, but reaches only 896 MB extended memory. Performance not signifikant better.
Who can help me ?

Is that Kingston memory 800MHz? That laptop is designed for 533MHz Memory (PC4200). Usually the 800MHz Memory will bump down to 533MHz (probably using the SPD table), but there may be a compatibility problem.
So ultimately you should buy 533MHz DDR2 Memory with similar CAS/RAS Timing as the original Toshiba Memory.
Perhaps the second RAM slot is faulty? If you run CPU-Z, can it detect the second module correctly?
Note that the Graphics card may use some System Memory as Video Memory, so it sounds like the laptop sees the 1GB Module but reserved 96MB for the graphics.

  • Satellite P10-504 doesn't boot after RAM upgrade

    Just got 2x 1GB sticks of DDR 400 soddim's, and no boot.
    Now after reading up on what I could find on similar models, seems that these older laptops may not handle that fast of ram?
    Would using some DDR 266 be more appropriate?

    Hi
    If the notebook doesnt boot up then there is a big chance that the RAM is either nto compatible or its faulty.
    I think its not compatible.
    I found this page:
    http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=7090&ft=m&st=3
    According to this page the P10 supports the *200-Pin PC2700 (333Mhz) DDR SODIMM* memory modules!
    So your RAMs are not compatible!

  • Mac mini doesn't wake after ram upgrade

    Hi
    I recently upgraded my mac mini from 2gb ram to 8gb ram and noticed that when the mac goes to sleep and the tv ( through hdmi wire) goes into standby that the mac mini will not send a signal to the tv anymore to wake up the tv from standby when I need it too from tapping on keyboard or moving mouse. At first I thought it was because of a software upgrade on the mac mini but when I switched back the ram to 2gb the mac mini will send the signal to wake the tv . I am just wondering has anyone come across this problem and what the solution is . I hav already reset pram setting and the usual things that everyone has mentioned in other posts . This seems to be a major flaw in apple deisgn unless they have a fix . I am stuck with my 2gb ram now in the mac which doesnt even have any speed . the only way I can use the 8gb ram is if i turn the mac on and off everytime I want to use it , as this is the only way to wake the tv with the 8gb ram inside as it doesnt wake the tv from sleep. This totally contradicts what apple say in their manual aswell,  they say not to power down your mac if your using it everyday just put it to sleep which wont help me in my case . So at the end of this rant my only two options are to continue to use 8gb ram and have to power on and off mac everytime to wake the tv or use my 2gb ram which makes the mac run really slow as 2gb is not enough but hey aleast my tv will come back on from sleep mode .
    Any answer will be a great help ???

  • Satellite Pro L300 doesn't reboot after BIOS upgrade from TOSHIBA Site

    After a BIOS upgrade made under windows,my system doesn't reboot any more.F2,F8 keys are ineffective at power up time.The screen remains black and there is only some permanent accesses to the CD/DVD reader.
    Can somebody explained me what has happended and how to repair if possible? Must i reflash the BIOS or something else.
    Thanks a lot

    In my opinion something went wrong during the update and the ROM module has not been flashed properly.
    According to people here in the forum, only an Toshiba service agent can help you.
    But I found an interesting thread here in the forum which might be helpful to you.

  • Satellite L300 - webcam doesn't work after BIOS upgrade

    I recently upgraded BIOS to 2.2 and the webcam has stopped working. It disappeared and there is one unknown device in the device manager in the universal serial bus controller.
    I tried everything even with new clean fresh Vista OS but nothing like there is no webcam I installed the drivers but not recognized so I would like if I can to downgrade BIOS to 1.5 and to fix the webcam. If I can cos I need it. Is that possible?
    Tnx

    Hi
    I dont think its BIOS issue.
    First of all the unknown device (webcam) appears in the device manager and this means that an device has been recognized by system and BIOS.
    The only reason why its listed as unknown devices is: the driver is not installed properly.
    After BIOS update you have to set the BIOS back to default. Access BIOS pressing F2 and within the BIOS you can use the button F9 to set it to default and F10 to save the changes.
    After that you should boot up the unit and should go to device manager.
    Mark the unknown device and delete it from the list (if possible)
    Go to control panel -> software and check the software list for webcam software (from chicony). Uninstall this software if its part of the list.
    Now reboot the notebook.
    Clean the OS using CCleaner and install the correct webcam software for Vista. Note: please pay attention to 32bit or 64bit version.
    If the installation would fail, try the Toshiba recovery disk and set the notebook back to factory settings.
    By the way: BIOS downgrade is not possible because the old BIOS is not downloadable.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Satellite M200 doesn't boot after RAM 4GB upgrade

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded my RAM just to speed things up a little as RAM is soo cheap these days.
    I have a M200 T2130 Vista came with 1GB (2*512) sticks.
    The new sticks are 2 *2GB Dane-elec DDR2 pc2-5300, when I put the two in and rebooted the hard drive light came on briefly and then it just stayed idol, no POST, Bios options.
    I tried using a single 512 stick with both new sticks and they both work in a 2.5GB setup just not together also this only works when the 512 stick is in the more internal slot and not the other way around.
    So if anyone has had a similar prob or can give me some advice that would be great, I'm not to sure if the motherboard can support 4GB?
    Thanks, Dave.

    Hi
    There are two possibilities why your M200 doesnt boot after the RAM upgrade.
    Firstly the installed RAM could be not compatible or could be faulty or the notebook doesnt support the 4GB RAM.
    I dont know what M200 do you have exactly but you could check the installed chipset and could check on the Intel page if this chipset would support the 4GB RAM.

  • Page rendering process doesn't run after validation error

    I have a page rendering process (On Load - After Regions) that needs to be run for my page to be rendered properly; however, it doesn't run when the page is rendered after a validation error. In debug mode, I see the following line:
    "0.05: ......do not perform process because inline validation condition found."
    Is this a bug? Validations are meant to prevent execution of On Submit processes, but is there a reason to also not run rendering processes?
    I need to dynamically construct some javascript and insert it somewhere after a certain item on the page. Is there a workaround?
    Thanks.
    Rodney

    Rodney,
    Let me see if I understand your question:
    1. A page is rendered
    2. The page is submitted
    3. A validation fires and fails
    4. The page is re-rendered displaying the validation error message
    5. Your on-load after regions process did not fire
    You want to run a process in all cases; in the standard page load case (1) and in the re-load case (4).
    You can do this by creating a region of type PL/SQL. You can give the region a null template so that it will not display any values. The region can be the last one displayed on the page; so that it will be run last.
    You also asked if it is a bug that the on-load after regions process did not fire; as the debug message indicates this is proper. Here is an example that illustrates why you typically don't want to perform processes when rendering a page after it was posted causing a validation to fire.
    Lets take the following example:
    1. create a form on the emp table; assume a salary column called "SAL"
    2. create a validation that says the salary must be numeric
    3. edit a row of the EMP table
    4. change the employee job from clerk to manager; and enter a "X" in the salary item
    5. submit the page
    6. the validation will fire; page processing will stop; and the page will be re-displayed
    7. the process which fetches the rows will not fire; and the page will be re-displayed; the job item will display the change from "clerk" to "manager" and salary will still contain the invalid "X" value. If the process had fired it would have replaced the values in the form.
    My recommendation is that you use regions for any processing that is UI releated. I hope this helps.

    Hello,
    I am not sure, but this does sound like I had the same problem. I got the following reply:
    Take a look at:
    http://www.geocities.com/vamp201/jwsfaq.html
    --> 'Why can't I start Web Start's app manager under Windows? Why does the app manager's preferences dialog fail to appear? '
    This might be a proxy issue. Try to turn off your proxy by putting
    javaws.cfg.proxy.setting=NONE
    in your 'javaws.cfg' file and see if it Web Start's app manager shows up then.
    I have added the line mentioned above, and it worked fine. In addition I added the following line:

  • Re: Satellite A660 - No boot after RAM upgrade

    I have just gotten 8GB of RAM for my Satellite A660, it is Corsair CM3X4GSD1066 4GB PC-8500 (1066MHz) 204-pin SO-DIMM DDR3 RAM CL7.
    The system posts fine and the 8GB is showing up in BIOS but once its clears post and goes to load Windows it stops on the black screen, the cursor flashes a few times then it stops. I have left it for about 5 minutes and it wont boot through.
    Please Help.
    I have replaced the 4GB sticks and it works fine.

    Hello
    For me it sounds like that the modules are not compatible or have defective sectors
    As Akuma wrote, such performance modules are risky in notebook because you dont have any options to change the latency values as on desktop computers. So I always prefer Kingston modules for notebook RAM upgrade.
    But before you buy other modules, try a BIOS update and load the default settings.

  • MacBook not booting after RAM upgrade

    I'm sorry if the case has been already posted.
    Yesterday I took my MacBook Alu unibody late 2008 to a RAM upgrade (from 2 to 4gigs) to an offical Mac Reseller. They installed it and showed me that the system loads properly and recognized the new RAM.
    I took it home, started working on After Effects and Photoshop and when i wanted to check a video on Quicktime, this program refused to boot.
    Then photoshop freeze and after effects did so. I quited all aplications and restarted. On restart after the 'bong' i've got the grey screen white an apple logo and a loading bar underneath, that was it, it never finished loading but shutting down.
    After the 2nd try the computer gave me the BAD RAM alarm signal right before the start button was pressed and nothing more. I just managed to start it ONCE on safe mode, but this one also freezed and colapsed.
    Today i didn't get the BAD ram alarm but the grey screen and loading bar after shutting down.
    I took it back to the reseler, the shop boss who did the upgrade wasn't there , the guys on the morning shift placed the old RAM back resulting the same. So they told me it's a software problem, not hardware and might be caused by a failed firmware update or something i did wrong and since i was showed that the system booted after the upgrade i can't complain or argue that they did somethiing wrong.
    So basically the want 80euros to check what's wrong with my computer plus the 120 i already payed them for a RAM that doesn't work and of course the repair cost of the computer.
    On monday i'll go to talk to the boss, what do you guys recomend me to tell him? i'm frustrated that the guys there treat me like if i broke my computer for beeing stupid and wanted to get it fixed for free, when it clearly broke after they did something wrong on it!
    please advice me!
    thanks!

    What brand is the RAM? From what you said, it is obvious that the RAM is at fault. I would simply tell them that it is not compatible and return the RAM.
    Check the System Profiler to see what it says about the RAM (Apple Logo - About this Mac - More Info) and run this application to test the RAM:

    If either shows any errors, print out the results and take them with you to the store.

  • KT3v MS6712 System Won't power up after RAM upgrade

    hello this is my first posting to this forum and I hope someone might be able to help on this as I am totally stumped.  I have been running my KT3V MS6712 mobo with 256MB since it was built. The manual for this mobo says it can handle up to 3GB RAM in any order or size. I have 3 DIMM slots and thought it would be more cost effective to just
    purchase 1 DIMM leaving the other 2 slots free.  So I decided to  upgrade to 1GB and I bought a Kingston 1Gb PC2100 266MHz DIMM and installed it on my system.  Now my system won't power on at all. When I press the power button on the PC, the CPU fan spins for like 1-2 seconds then stops.  The system appears to be completely dead.  Cos I thought the problem was down to the new RAM installation I thought better put my old 256 DIMM back, however I still get the same problem. I have tried swopping both DIMMS into different slots but still doesn't work. The system was working fine until I did the RAM upgrade. I tried resetting the CMOS by moving the jumpers around in case it was a BIOS issue, still hasn't made a difference. Dunno if its the PSU which has suddenly gone, however seems strange. There are no beeps from the system or lights flashing to indicate anything.  I don't have
    the D-Bracket installed either. I have also never upgraded the BIOS on this system as it has always been stable. The CPU is not overclocked. Has anyone had this problem before after a RAM upgrade?  Hope I have given you enough information 

    Suntek is perhaps not the best of PSU makers, but a sudden collapse is not so common. You normally notice problems earlier.
    I took a big beating last time I said this , but it is important that there is no power in the system when changing memory sticks.
    It sounds a bit like the processor went away for holiday. Have you any data on the processor temperature? Is there any activity at all? Does the processor heat sink get warm?
