After the upgrade of RAM Equium A100-338 runs on battery only 30 min

I've had my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-338 for over 2 years now and the other day that I upgraded the RAM to 4 GB to 1 GB, I noticed that the battery level is low and I can't get to the 30-40 minutes out of the battery max. There generally has 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours of life on a battery fully so far

I thought that adding RAM more would make the battery last longer, but I don't know she s RAM that of done

Any help appreciated, thanks!

In my opinion RAM upgrade cannot be responsible for the lower battery capacity. I've updated / downgraded memory on my notebooks and I didn t notice something like that.

That means when you reuse the 1 GB of RAM you can use the battery run for too long?

  • Upgrade of RAM Equium A100-147

    Hi, I have an Equium A100-147 with the standard of 1 GB of RAM (512 MB + 512 MB pc-4200) professional XP.

    I'd like to update, and I was wondering if it would be allowed to replace one of the 512 MB sticks with a single stick of 2 GB pc-5300. RAM would be then 2 GB pc-5300 plus 512 MB pc-4200 = 2.5 GB in total.

    Or would it be better to buy 2 x 1 GB sticks of pc-5300 and sell or discard existing memory?

    I see a significant speed increase over the existing configuration of the Ram?

    All advice appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I agree with Akuma, it would be better to use 2 x 1 GB modules.

    This combination with 2 GB and 512 MB with different (PC4200 and PC5300) specifications could make problems like freezing, BSOD, etc..

    At present, the price of memory is very cheap, so I think that this should not be a problem.

  • XPS 8700 does not start after the upgrade memory RAM

    Dear members of the Forum.

    I have a XPS 8700 with the following specifications:

    Core i7 4770 k

    2 TB HARD DRIVE

    16 GB of Ram (4 x 4 GB)

    NVidia GTX 660 (1.5 GB)

    BIOS version A10 (later).

    RAM sticks in my current system are all Micron Tech (here) 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s.

    I had two RAM modules of tech Micron (here) 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s so that I can move on to a total of 24 GB.

    After the discussion here and here, I installed the modules in slots 1 & 2 (both white) so that the system is not able to start. Not even got the bios screen. I also tried 3 & 4 configuration (both black) I ran my computer with the two 8 GB sticks only, with the same unfortunate results.

    I also saw that it is a normal problem of compatibility problems between the types of ram, but I consider that this is not the case. In addition, bad positioning of the modules is not also the case because if I put my old ram glue the computer starts normally.

    I used tape you will static isolation.

    Is the problem, a problem of compatibility between my computer and the RAM modules?

    If the RAM is damaged does these effects (do not start)?

    How can I check if the RAM modules are damaged?

    What would be your suggestions?

    I thank very you much in advance!

    Mauricio

    Hmm, I'd say you two bad sticks of RAM.  If the system POST even with them, I would swap them if you can.  We know that the RAM slots work because you have 4 x 4 sticks without any problem and your computer can take up to 32 GB of RAM.  Your admission that you bought the right kind of RAM, voltage, and speed, etc., so that shouldn't be a problem.  I would say as bad RAM.  When you do not install, just check that you make pairs in each of the colored slots, for example. matching pairs in the slot of white and black.

  • After the upgrade to 10.11.6, mDNSResponder runs havoc

    Hello

    After the el Capitan to 10.11.6, upgrade my internet connection has been blocked by my ISP because of a flood of packets to multicast from my side.

    I studied using the monitor activity and found that mDNSResponder creates the network traffic with more than 20 MB per minute, and I see also all the lights on my network switches will blink quickly. The problem disappears if I manually kill the process; then it automatically restarts and creates only a few KB per min.

    It is two machines, an iMac and a Powerbook from 2015. Nothing else was changed other than the upgrade.

    So obviously something is wrong.

    Thanks for the resolution!

    W.

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

    I want to know if this 2.93 GB of 6,00 GB usable the correct value of the memory that is made available?

    Also, I want to know what changes can I see or wait after upgrading the RAM from 2.00 to 6.00 GB where 2.93 GB is usable? How does this improve the effectiveness of my PC? Is there something that needs to be done on my own apart from adding the RAM to increase performance and the maintenance of my PC?

    Thank you best regards &,.

    The problem is the operating system of your laptop is 32-bit.

    A 32-bit operating system can use @ 3.25 GB installed memory.

    Install additional 4 GB to a laptop that had 2 GB was a regrettable mistake.

    As long as the 4 GB memory module you have is compatible, you'd better remove the 2 GB module and put the 4 GB module in its place.

    You won't find a lot of improvement with the current configuration of a 2 GB module and a 4 GB module. With this memory configuration does not work in dual channel mode.  You would be better with two modules of 4 GB, but this is only if you upgrade your operating system to a 64-bit version.

    In fact, you would have improved if your OS is 64-bit. A 64-bit Windows operating system will recognize and use the installed memory.

    If you really want to improve the performance of the laptop, you should consider upgrading to a SATA SSD 256 GB drive at least.

  • Equium A100-338: wireless NIC endangered - suddenly disconnects

    I have a Toshiba Equium A100-338 running Windows Vista. I bought this in February and everything worked well. But for a few weeks now my wireless guard card disappear from my laptop.

    It works fine for awhile (today, for example) and I can browse the internet, all as usual. But all of a sudden it just disconnects, then tells me that there are no available wireless networks.

    When I checked the Device Manager I see that once this happened that my network wireless adapter simply disappeared - it does not appear in Device Manager at all--almost as if he has uninstalled randomly. Sometimes, restarted the laptop I can reuse my wireless, and sometimes I can't.

    I tried to reinstall the drivers and update them, but it didn't seem to do anything. My network card is an Intel PRO 3945abg.

    Please help me! I've looked everywhere for a solution or others who have had the same problem, but am unable to find anything.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I also noticed several threads and messages to have reported connectivity problems with wireless Intel PRO 3945abg network card. Unfortunately, I think that it s is not easy to say what the problem is or why it happens to me there could be a problem between the drivers (software) Intel and Microsoft Vista.
    I put t think the material causes of connection interruptions.

    I studied a little more on the Intel page and found this site:
    http://support.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/sb/CS-023579.htm

    You can check it and probably you will find a new driver version or a patch
    Do you use a connection Intel Pro Set WLan utility? No, then I recommend this test tool and use it for the WLan configuration.

    PS: Take a look at this page from Toshiba:

  • Equium A100-338 has started to go very slow after using the recovery CD

    I used the recovery CD after my Equium A100-338 has started to go very slow, it still seems slower than it used to be.
    I haven't added anything to the computer from the CD recovery and verified the Manager tasks to see if I could spot anything suspicious.

    Statistics say, use 18-22% CPU, but the physical memory is about 68% is this normal or should it be less?

    Is there a list of standard processes I can check against mine to see if its doing something, it shouldn't be?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think you feel that unity is a bit slow due to the high amount of different processes that run in the context of the BONE.

    The fact is that your laptop supports various features such as buttons FN, Toshiba control buttons, etc.
    All this has needs drivers.

    In addition, as I m not wrong the Norton Internet Security has been installed on your system.
    It s part of the image of Toshiba and this tool could affect the performance of the system.

    I have used in the past, but now changed to another application that doesn t need a lot of material resources.

    So if you want you can disable or delete some of the tools and utilities that are not important to you and could clean the system using a 3rd third party tool called CCleaner

  • Equium A100 - 338 PSAAQE nothing more beyond 3063 GB RAM

    Hi all

    I am owner of Equium A100-338 PSAAQE.
    In my manual and workbook loads on exactly my laptop's info, I can put on the maximum memory 2x2gb modules and after that, I should have 4 GB of ram.

    So I did and believe me or not there is NOT 4 GB RAM.
    Of course in the BIOS I see system memory total 4096, but in the MESSAGE window and in my system, I can see only 3063.
    I have the 64-bit linux system and there should be 4GB without any problem.

    So, where's my 1 GB memory?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Well, I downloaded the user manual of the Toshiba page and checked also.
    And now, I am wondering about your statement that the user manual says something about 4 GB of RAM.

    There is an info interested in the user's manual; * Chapter 1: Introduction-> characteristics; *
    Here you can find details about memory and he says:

    + Slots memory: 256 MB, 512 MB PC4200 or 1024 MB memory modules can be installed in the two memory locations for a maximum of 2048 MB system memory. +

    It seems that the upgrade of RAM of 4 GB is * NOT * possible.

  • Equium A100-338, replacing the hard drive

    Hi, the hard drive from my Toshiba Equium A100-338 just broke down on me, and now I think to replace. Because I'm not good material, I thought I have ask for advice about it here first. Is this an easy repair that can be done on your own? If so, how can I know if my computer match which new hard drive? I know that I need a 2.5 inch Sata-150 and all that, but I'm not sure of the compatibility.

    In addition, it is worth the money to make repairs like this on such an old computer? I wouldn't throw it out when everything else seems to work very well.

    Hello

    In the Toshiba forum you will find here with some nice instructions how to replace a HARD drive on the different laptop models.

    I have a Toshiba Equium A100-338 I need recovery to factory settings.
    I know I have to press f8 and go to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard.

    My problem is that this option is missing and has been replaced by 'Restore the whole Windows operating system'. When I click on this option, I get a generic message, saying that I have to restore from a restore CD.

    My question is, is it possible to manually start the recovery in the command prompt? The wizard needs to run a program. All I have to do is find this program. I know that I have the recovery partition (I used Ubuntu to recover files of the user, and should it upward).

    Hello

    Just a simple question: If you have problems to start the HARD drive recovery, why you n t use the Toshiba Recovery disk?

    It can also restore settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools, so it of the same wait it erases the entire HARD disk.

  • Equium A100 - 338 PSAAQE: shortcut keys not working not not after changing Vista to XP

    I recently bought a PSAAQE Equium A100-338. It came preloaded with Vista home premium. I removed what I need XP pro. I found all the drivers to get everything works except the shortcut keys. I tried all the drivers available, but none works. Are there other drivers available for the access keys work.

    Can anyone provide a url to a site where I can get the driver. Also, why are there no XP driver specific available, it took forever to find all those that I needed. I know a lot of it, specialists and companies that will not use Vista and only allow for XP.

    For these features, you have no drivers but Toshiba has designed tools or utilities, but I fear that these tools are not designed for Windows XP Home edition. Not yet.

    I believe you when you say that to many it professionals want to use Windows XP Home edition, but if everything works well, but these buttons are not so important to the features of the laptop and any computer can do its job.

  • What is the best way to install XP on Vista Equium A100-338

    I want to install XP on my Equium A100-338, who has already installed Vista. What is the best way to do it, I heard a lot of bad luck stories trying to do!
    I do it only as a new software, with that I need to work only works on XP.

    Any help appreciated

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion, you must install the XP operating system on the second partition.
    In this case, you can use the two BONES; Vista and XP.

    Using these two s OS has many advantages. For example, you can always test the Vista and the new Microsoft features that are available in Vista and, in addition, you can use the XP if you need to run some programs and applications that are not fully compatible with Vista.

    Then first ask how o create a second partition in Vista.
    Well, this can be done in disk management. Right-click on the my computer drive management made right click on the disk to manage and modify the size of the partition.
    Then the free space on the HARD drive can be activated, and you can create the new partition.

    Then simply boot from Win XP and install it on the second free partition.
    The Toshiba drivers needed should be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

    Good luck
