Adding RAM to Satellite L50-A-1EH

Hello
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L50-A-1EH. I wanted to add an additional 4 GB of Ram up to a total of 8 GB. The laptop has 2 slots and is expandable to 16 GB, so it should be easily achievable.

The problem is however that I tried several types of modules, but none seem to work. I've tried different brands such as Corsair, Kingston, Transcend, but after installation and put into the laptop market, it stops after a few seconds.

I called technical support Toshiba who gave me a certain module Kingston Toshiba, which I also tried, but with the same result (Kingston Toshiba pa5104u-1m4g).

The only that worked, was the exact same module already included in the notebook.
I took this one on an another L50-A-1EH in the store.
However, the problem is that this module is not sold in regular stores.

I tried various things, the BIOS updates, switching to the top modules, in one of the modules, put 2 of the same thing, but nothing seems to work. I've mailed to Toshiba and their response was that it should work, otherwise I should call the support desk, but because of the interview, they are not available until this Tuesday.

Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

Well, usually it takes not a big problem to use the modules developed by other manufacturers. I use modules of different brand, but to be honest, I had the best experience using the modules of Kingston.

However, I found the modules recommended for the L50 - A Satellite and generally these modules must be compatible:

8GB DDR3L - 1600 PA5104U-1M8G
4 GB DDR3L - 1600 PA5104U-1M4G

You should be able to get these pieces of registered maintainer Toshiba in your country.

  • Upgrading RAM on Satellite L50-B-1DZ - need advice

    Hello

    I want to improve my new laptop to use 8 GB to 4 GB. The site of the main product specification provides all the information, I need to know if I should order DIMM or SODIMM memory modules?

    Also, is it possible for a client to easily make this themselvess by removing the panels without having to take the thing completely detached?

    http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/laptops/satellite/l50-b/satellite-l50-b-1DZ/

    standard: 4 096 (1 x) MB, RAM DDR3L (1 333 MHz)
    maximum extension: 8 192 MB
    technology: DDR3L (1 333 MHz) RAM

    Appropriate advice or technical manual covering this would be great.
    The on their site are too "basic" user guides

    Kind regards

    Peter B, UK

    Well, the procedure for the RAM upgrade is a bit tricky. There is no RAM module Bay separated with easy access.

    To access the free RAM slot, the plastic cover of the bottom must be removed.
    You need to remove the ODD (optical disc) as well as the battery and next by the screws around the cover.

    But remove the cover would mean that you would negate the warranty.

    I put t know if you want to lose the warranty, I think that security is a very important fact which should be considered before performing this upgrade procedure.

  • Extension of RAM on Satellite L50-B-18F

    Hi, I need to expand the RAM on my laptop, it is a Toshiba Satellite L50-B-18F i5.
    How can I do? Do I have to send my laptop to some technical assistance offices or can I do it myself?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Portable specification of your laptop was offered with 4 GB of RAM, but it can be upgraded up to 16 GB.

    The memory modules are compatible RAM for your machine:
    2 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M2G
    4 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M4G
    8 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M8G

    Unfortunately, this model of phone has memory button placed on the low side so I think the upgrade memory by the owner of the laptop is not supported. Theoretically, you can do this alone, but if you remove some components hardware this will void the warranty so I think you should contact the nearest Toshiba, service provider and ask for help.

    Memory modules, you can get on your own and just ask service to put in place. I can't imagine that it will be expensive.

  • Satellite L50 - A - 1EH NVIDIA Graphic card driver problem?

    Dear users,

    The day before yesterday I bought a Toshiba Satellite 15.6 L50-A-1EH model n: PSKK6E - 07Q05CDU

    By far I love the device, but I get BSOD notice whenever I start a game (probably because Intel on Nvidia?). I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT M 740 and am running Windows 8.1 64-bit.

    The problem may be caused by the fact that I updated the Nvidia driver for the first time to use my laptop. I have uninstalled the driver through Device Manager and reinstalled the Nvidia driver of [here | http://www.toshiba.nl/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=NL&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 178 & selProduct = 7948 selSh 3983 = ortMod & language = 12 & selOS = 47 & selType = all & yearu pload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = a llMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 24 & selectedLanguage = 12 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 88288 & DISO = 47 & driverLanguage = 42]

    But the BSOD came back. Yet once again, I deleted the driver currently installed and tried to install a new on the nVidia site itself. Yet again, my game crashes and I get an error.

    The error I get is:
    Unhandled Thread Exception system

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not that good at computers please keep this in mind.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    I found some people more in the Microsoft forum having the same problem with the error message: System unhandled Thread Exception

    It seems that the nVidia driver compatibility problem between the driver and the software running (in your case the game)

    Try to remove/uninstall the old driver in Device Manager, and then remove the Nvidia folder on the C: drive. Then, restart the laptop.

    Try installing the latest driver nVIdia driver Toshiba UE page.

    The same graphics card was built in different Toshiba notebooks like:

  • Satellite L50 and SSD - performance problem

    Hello

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L50-A-1EH and the first thing I did was to replace the hard drive with an SSD.
    Initially the SSD is not recognized by the BIOS, like many other users across the Internet reported as well.

    To prove this statement here are other people having the same problem, and people have tried different SSD.

    Link: [1st edition SSD | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Troubleshooting/E45t-cant-detect-Samsung-840-pro-SSD/td-p/503785]
    Link: [2nd edition SSD | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Troubleshooting/Switching-HDD-to-SSD-on-Satellite-S55-A5176-Problem/td-p/590778]

    The problem can be solved by changing a setting in the BIOS.

    [The SATA interface parameter] [enforcement] to [battery life].

    However, this workaround solution comes with a cost, which is performance.
    The SSD is able to transfer files at a speed of 500 MB/s.

    However, in this mode the SSD transfers files at 133 MB/s.
    I lose 4 x the speed of the SSD.

    In my view this problem in the BIOS.

    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    With sincere friendships.
    Arthur BOULELLI.

    I also discovered today that is not serious if I am running in mode UEFI BIOS (CSM).

    Combined with AHCI BIOS mode it takes [parameter] Interface SATA for battery life, otherwise the SSD is not recognized.

    The Toshiba using the latest firmware (to July 23, 2014), which is v1.70.
    The SSD is a Samsung 840 Evo and has the latest firmware, which is EXT0BB6Q.

    Given that the SATA interface is set to battery life, the SATA interface is set to SATA1, who of course tops out at 133 MB/s.

    For me, it is simply amazing that a laptop with a Core i7-4700MQ the year 2014 cannot detect an SSD SATA3.

    Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this?

  • Satellite L50 - B - 2 5 - upgrade of guaranteed RAM VS

    Hello

    I have a laptop Satellite L50 - B - 2 5 and Im wondering if I lose the warranty if I upgrade the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB. I have a 4 GB RAM module and I want to insert myself, but I am afraid of losing the warranty if I open the case.

    Thanks for your help.

    Way General upgrade RAM will not void the warranty but your L50 - B has a specific design and it is not distinct from the cover of RAM in the lower corner. So you do not have access to the RAM slots. In your case the whole bottom cover must be removed, and you should not do this.

    My advice to you is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

  • Satellite L50 do not identify the second module of RAM

    Hello

    I can't add a Kingston 4 GB ram in my L50 - A - 1 DG computer because the computer does not illuminate after I added a memory module (all other brands like Kingston), I want to know if the computer works only with the original memory module, I should buy an another (the original memory mark) Hynix to add my memory please?

    Thank you very much

    > the computer turns not after I added a memory module

    The laptop can be upgraded to 16 GB because only two memory slots are available.
    32GB are possible only for computers and motherboards with four memory banks

    The laptop does not start because your extra RAM module is defective or not fully compatible. Please also check if the module is properly connected.

    Compatible modules are already mentioned by Timox and you must use the DDR3L 1600 MHz (PC3-12800) SO-DIMM module

  • Satellite L50-A-108 - what RAM modules are compatible?

    Hello!

    I have a C50-A-108 with processor IntelĀ® Core i5 - 3230M (3 m Cache, up to 3.20 GHz) rPGA.
    I want to add a stick of RAM, and I wonder if this specification: DDR3/L /-RS 1333/1600 for my motherboard means that I can use a RAM DDR3L.

    My laptop has already installed a DDR3 RAM (1,600 MHz), so I found a stick DDR3L 1.5V 1,600 MHz with the same timings as my system and I want to buy it. Before that, I want your opinion.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the Satellite L50-A-108 was equipped HM70 mobile Intel Express Chipset. Is this correct?

    Express chipset mobile Intel HM70 supports 2 GB modules / 4 GB / 8 GB DDR3 1333 (PC3-10600) SO-DIMM and max 16 GB of RAM

    The Intel Core i5 - 3230 M CPU processor supports DDR3/L /-RS 1333/1600 modules and the speed of the module is related to the speed of the front side bus.

    In the case where the FSB is limited to 1 333 Mhz, 1600 Mhz modules would be pointing down.

    Hello.
    I have Toshiba Satellite L50 - B for more than a year. I upgraded the RAM to 8 GB and it works fine. But the last 10 days of the BIOS date and time keeps restarting by default whenever I turned off or in hibernation laptop. My battery is dead, but I'm not, it reloads all the time and restart the BIOS after that I have unplug the phone charger. I think that the CMOS battery is dead, but when I open the laptop there is no CMOS battery. Someone told me that this model has a kind of Flash for the time of the bios chip. How can I fix it?

  • Satellite L50-C-22 - update of victory 10 home win 10 Pro

    Summary: I have a new Toshiba laptop, pre-installed with 10 Home X 64 Windows and want to update, as simply and not destructive as possible to 10 Pro Windows.

    I bought my Toshiba Satellite L50 - C - 22 L last month and, overall, I'm very happy with it. He moved in with MS Windows 10 (X 64) running on 8 GB of RAM and works well. I have a couple of other machines running Windows 10 Pro and missed some additional features, so I bought a Pro product key. I had assumed that I would go to the settings screen, choose the 'Activation' option and then click the button change the product key. My new key would be accepted and the system should perform an upgrade in-place to Windows Pro 10.

    Which has proved to be a little ambitious.

    The process failed with the message "the product key you entered cannot be used to activate this edition of Windows. Please try a different key. I spoke to Microsoft and they have confirmed the key that it is authentic, but suggest it only works if I rubbed and rebuilt laptop computer with a new installation, registering the new product key to a suitable place in the build process. (This raises the question of what the "Change product key" button is a commercial copy of the OS, but that's another story).

    My question is, can I follow the instructions to create a recovery on the laptop media to recover a version of the PC factory reset, but change to include the key product Pro Win 10? If I understand correctly, if there is a WIM file as part of the recovery media, it contains all versions of Windows 10 32 - bit and 64 - bit. Installed the final version is 'unlocked' by the product key. This depends, however, how Toshiba packaged installation of recovery files and if they can be twisted this way.

    Of course, there may be a more obvious way to achieve the same goal I'm missing completely, so any other suggestions gratefully received.

    Thanks for reading,
