Increasing memory Satellite A100-036

Hello!

I would like to increase the memory of my Satellite A100-036 (psaan), as 1 GB appears to be insufficient to run Vista. The problem is, I can't know which would support my A100. Now I have 512 x 2 Samsung DDR2 (533). I'm sure than 1x2GB (DDR2, 533) would be OK, but what about more? Say, 2x2gb?

First of all, I'm not sure if chip 1x2GB would be supported by my A100. Any ideas?

Secondly, I read somewhere that 4 GB would be supported by my Intel 945 chipset, but there is no point in it I do not have a 64-bit, 32-bit only supported ca.3.2 GB operating system. If that's true, I would be able to install 1 GB + 2 GB (3 GB total) and use it effectively? Are there recommendations on the combination of different volumes of memory chips (such as 2 GB and 512 MB)? Maybe it is better to have similar in volume?

And one more thing: don't know if the chipset supports the faster memory (more than 553). And can I combine 553 and sth faster?

Seems a lot of questions, but I hope that someone could find some time and help me!

Thank you!!!

I don't know, but your machine must be able to handle a maximum memory expansion up to 2GB. If you install more then it may happen that the machine either does not or simply memory another beyond 2 GB could not properly acknowledged and your machine breaks down.

Welcome them

  • Windows vista on the Satellite A100-036 problems

    Hello. I have a Toshiba satellite A100-036 laptop with windows vista home basic 32-bit, and I have the following problems.

    1. they replace me the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it more because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?

    2. whenever I turn on the laptop touchpad scrolling does not work. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver. If you have installed another pointing PS/2 device driver please uninstall the synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again. You want to uninstall the synaptics driver now? "I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.

    3. whenever I turn on the laptop the bluetooth does not work and the bluetooth icon does not appear in the taskbar. I have to go to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, go to control panel > bluetooth local com and it works again. Whenever I turn on the laptop I have to do this.

    4. everytime I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I put in market or the automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.

    5. sometimes it does not install the automatic updates and it shows me Error 8000FFFF.
    Could someone help me? Thank you.

    > 1. they replaced the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?
    If you have the Toshiba recovery disc in the past, you can use it as part of the new HARD drive. The Toshiba Recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings, which means that you have installed Windows system, Toshiba drivers and additional software.

    > 2. The touchpad scrolling does not work everytime I turn on the laptop. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver.

    > I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.
    Go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the driver for the Synaptics touchpad. Install the touchpad driver and reboot the laptop. Usually, this should solve your problem.

    It's strange. Usually the BT should work if the BT stack has been installed correctly. Please note that you must activate the BT using the fn (FN + F8). This combination turns on and the WiFi also. So make sure you did it correctly.

    > 4. Whenever I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I have to turn it on or automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.

    Please check this: [turn auto update or disable | http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/turn-automatic-updating-on-off#turn-automatic-updating-on-off=windows-vista]

  • Fans will not run after wakup mode standby on the Satellite A100-036

    After the awakening of economic breakdown (low cost) continuous mode... When the laptop start normally, fan just runs. That program locking systems (not) operating fan turns.
    I'm sorry for the English. Aint Englishman;).

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A100-036 with Vista Home Basic.

    Hello

    There is no special application that could control the laptop fans!
    The Vista and BIOS itself control the cooling modules!

    I do not know if these tips will help you to solve this problem, but you should definitely check out if m your use of the latest version of the BIOS.
    But don t mix the different laptop series! Do not forget that you have chosen that good BIOS and the good Bios update procedure.
    In addition, try to install all the updates Vista available! The Vista operating system supports an update automatically option. Try this!

  • Satellite A100-036 - label Microsoft OEM are broken

    Hello!

    Tag Microsoft OEM on my Satellite A100-036 (s/n 37059063Q) has been partially damaged, and I can't read product s/n (Windows Vista HB).

    How can I fix this label? Or I have to buy the new OS?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The serial key belongs to the Windows operating system which is part of the Toshiba recovery image.
    This means that, in most cases you cannot use it as part of other versions of Windows.
    Moreover Windows system which is part of the image is already enabled for this serial key is not really necessary
    If you don t have a recovery disk (maybe you forget to create it in the past) you could try to order it here: http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    But I don't very well if this would be possible because of the age of the computer laptop m

    In the case otherwise you need a Microsoft disk to install the Windows OS, but in this case, each Microsoft Windows disk is provided with own serial key

  • Satellite A100-036 - disturbing noise from power supply

    Hello!

    I use Satellite A100-036. Lately, I've noticed a whistling top-height standard adapter Toshiba coming, sort of some fluorescent lamps do, only much quieter.

    Yet, the adapter is on the table near the laptop, is disturbing. The character changes with the activity of the laptop (as the disk in use).

    Should I be worried, or is it OK?
    As I remember, there was no this sound when I bought it (2 years ago).

    Thank you!

    My adapter was defective. The cable broke and similar high-pitch whistles was so noticeable.
    I replaced the adapter because as Akuma said already this device uses high voltage and shouldn't t serve if she s defective!

  • Upgrade memory Satellite A100

    Hello
    New to this. DOH. Put a "Legend" 1 GB memory upgrade (next to the existing 500 MB) in my A100 which acted slowly. Nothing seems to happen - in fact, still seems slower. The new does ' t memory appears under control panel - system... Does? I do another thing to implement and operate outside slotting inside?

    Thanks for any advice,
    Mark

    Hello Mark

    I can just say that people have different experiences and very often give unreserved information. I can say that you can use different memory modules (another title) but it is recommended to put more in the slot A and module with a lower capacity in the B slot.

    Whether you use 100% compatible modules you will have no problems and all described will not happen. With compatible modules the laptop will go faster and the RAM all will be displayed in system properties.

    I do not know what Satellite A100 you, but for my second laptop Satellite A100-504, compatible memory modules are:

    DDR2-533 256 MB (PA3389U - 2M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
    1 GB OF DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G)
    Satellite A100 can handle with 4 GB RAM max. If you want to have high quality RAM modules, you can also buy Kingston RAM modules. Compatible modules you find under http://www.kingston.com/products/default.asp

  • Question on buying memory Satellite A100-225

    I'm looking at buying 2 new Modules of memory DDR2 PC4200 1 GB to take my laptop to its maximum available memory of 2 GB.

    I tried searching Toshibas Web site, but the part number in the manual online (PA3411U-1M1G) doesn't seem to be available.

    Does anyone know of a dealer that I can visit (preferably a real store, rather than an eTailer) to buy this memory of. Everyqhere I google for the module is proving to be an eTailer =)

    Thanks for any help

    PS

    It says on the product for the 225 specifications page, its maximum expansion capability is 4 GB, but I don't see how this is possible, because there are only 2 Slots on the machine, anyone know?

    Hello

    I found information that these modules are memory compatible:
    DDR2-533 256 MB (PA3389U - 2M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
    1 GB OF DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G)

    The maximum memory size of 4 GB is just. I think the 2 GB sticks of memory, that you will buy in the future.
    You can buy all the parts and also modules of memory of the Toshiba service partner in your country.
