• Satellite M40-276 - memory not detected in the Bios upgrade

  Hi people!

  New kid on the block!

  I have a client with a toshiba Satellite m40-276. I've updated his memory to give it a little more to play with...

  Went into the bios to see if everything was OK but no projected additional memory. I removed the new and old memory and put in the new 1 GB module and restart the computer.
  The bios has not yet changed the size of the old memory?

  Went to windows and of course that the memory has been detected it normally?
  I added the other memory module and went into the bios again, but no change it?

  Windows, however, recognized that the two modules?

  His computer is the same bios to factory and has never been updated.

  My questions are... why the bios doesn't recognize the upgrade memory? It will help in upgrading the bios?

  Enjoy all the suggestions I can get on this issue.

  Thank you

  Generally, if you upgrade RAM using tested compatible modules, that should be recognized correctly.
  We do not know what modules you use, and I guess that there is a compatibility issue.

  RAM on Satellite M40 276 can scale up to 2 GB of RAM and compatible modules are:
  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
  1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

• Various issues with Satellite M40 225

  Hello

  I am having some problems with my laptop Satellite M40-225. -Here's...

  First of all when booting I get a bad / lack error OSB, in order for me to get to the start I must incline Press esc, go into the bios then get out of the bios tilt the laptop again and it will start then.

  Also I sometimes get errors BOSD, sometimes he mentions ati2, but above all it says physical memory.

  I have flashed the bios to try to get rid of the first error but no luck.
  Nothing new has been installed on the laptop, I even reloaded windows and tried with a spare hard drive, but nothing seems to work!

  Please help, I know that probably need something alternative, but I don't want to start buying things for her I have I don't know what's going to fix it.

  Thank you

  Susie

  Hello

  AFAIK usually Missing/Bad OSB logo error message is displayed if the error was detected in the BIOS or CMOS ROM module

  But according to the BSOD with physical memory error error, I guess that your modules of memory are not correct and that this must be the main reason for you questions.

  Of course I could be wrong also, and perhaps the whole issue is related to the faulty motherboard but in the first step, you should check your modules of memory installed.

  Hope you will get rid of these questions after a replacement memory.
  I keep fingers crossed ;)

  Good luck

• Can satellite M40-231 - I upgrade the GPU (graphics card)?

  Hi all

  My Satellite M40-231 has an ATI Mobility Radeon X 600 SE and I would like to upgrade to deal with the demands of today's games, but also a new HARD drive, but the latter, I think that I can go as far as the 120 GB HARD drive.

  SUGESTIONS are welcome.

  TKS

  Sorry, buddy, but this is not possible!
  There are several discussions about upgrading the GPU on mobile phones and all the threads said the same thing that's not possible.

  The point is that most graphic cards chips are outside the motherboard and cannot be deleted.
  You must understand that technology for portable computers is not the same thing as the technology of desktop PCs and more upgrades are not possible.

  Which could be upgraded are the memory modules and HARD drive.

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro 4300 - memory upgrade problem

  Hello

  I know that the issue has been already discussed several times, but it seems that none of the solutions or suggestions posted earlier apply to my situation.
  I recently bought an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300. The laptop has a slot filled memory of 64 MB module of the system's total memory was 128 MB.
  Because in my opinion, the system has worked to slow down, I decided to buy an additional memory module. I bought 128 MB - module TOSHIBA PA3005U k and placed in the slot B

  I was very surprised when I found that, after the upgrade, Windows showed that the total memory is 192 MB.
  When I put the 128 MB in the slot module is and the old module of 64 MB in the slot B - the surprise was even bigger, given that windows showed only 128 MB.

  I first thought that the slot B is defective, but in this case, it would be impossible to get in the first place the 192 MB. Then I thought that the new module of memory was either defective or it was 64 MB instead of 128 MB, but this option is also likely, according to my observations. Furthermore, I checked with EVEREST software system and it recognizes the new module as 128 MB module, but does not see the old 64 MB module.

  The situation is quite strange. Does anyone has an idea whay happens?

  Kind regards

  Sebastian

  To my knowledge, the 4300 Satellite Pro can be upgraded to 320 MB max.
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5769&ft=m&St=3

  64 MB module which was fitted with your laptop should not be removable.
  So in this slot ONLY this 64 MB module could work properly.

  I know it's strange but the computer world is sometimes strange ;) you know :D

• What is max capacity of the HDD on the Satellite M40-101

  What is the maximum capacity of the disc HARD can be installed in the laptop M40-101?

  To my knowledge, some of the Mobile Satellite M40 were shipped with the hard disks of 80 GB (IDE).
  I didn't find any official Toshiba information about supported tough max, but I guess you should be able to use the 100 GB drive HARD; Maybe a 120 GB HARD drive too.

  Seems that you have to test.

  Best regards

• Satellite S1800-204: memory upgrade

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite S1800-204 memory which I just try to improve, two sticks of Kingston, 64 MB PC100 144pin SODIMM (like the one provided with the laptop) to two sticks of Crucial 256 MB PC100 144pin SODIMM. The laptop will post more, and even if the power light is on it will not start. The screen remains black. The manual of user leads me to believe that it is capable of supporting up to 512 MB and I can not find all the features that say the new memory should not be working.

  Can someone help to solve my problem or tell me where I have gone wrong? I hope we have not bombed just from all this money for nothing.

  Spanky

  Hello

  Yes. I also think that you should check if your modules are compatible.
  I found in the official document that this device supports these modules:

  PC100 256 MB (PA3069U - 1 M 25)
  PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
  PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)

  As far as I know that you can upgrade this laptop up. 512 MB memory SDRAM (2x256MB).

  Good bye

• Satellite 2450-101 - memory - expansion which is the maximum?

  I want to upgrade the RAM on my Satellite 2450-101. Some say (especially Crucial) Web sites, I can have a maximum of 2 GB of RAM, but others (mainly Kingston) give a 1 GB maximum. Can I extend the RAM to 2 GB?
  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  Since intel mobile chipset is in your machine, you can only change it to 1024 MB (1 GB) RAM maximum. All other information is certainly not true. :)

• Satellite S2450-101 HDD Upgrade

  Hi all

  Not so much a problem, more of a question.

  I want to spend my Satellite S2450-101 of 30 GB hard drive
  something like 60 or 80 GB or more.
  I would like to know what makes it + models of hard drive will work?

  A BIOS upgrade will be necessary?
  (I've not updated the BIOS in the two years I've owned it).

  Does anyone have experience of this, they would be willing to share? I am running XP, btw.

  Thanks in advance,
  Geoff.

  Hello Geoff

  Unfortunately there is no public document on this subject. On this forum, you can find many discussions on the same or similar topic. Before someone can give you some advice, you can consult the forum by using the advanced search option.

  By the way. If you want to be sure we can be used on your mobile contact service partner or some HARD drive supplier. On the net, you can find a lot of them. If you use a high-capacity HARD drive, it can happen that the drive will not be recognized by the BIOS. Before you buy one picking up the good info.

• Satellite M40-101 cannot update firmware

  I tried to update firmware for my dvd - rw on M40-101 laptop drive, but when I start the program it says only "the target disk is not connected". What to do with it? the problem is perhaps cause firmware for dvd - RW drive Matsu * a UJ-831, but the model is actually UJ - 830B?

• Is it possible to upgrade the processor in a Satellite M40 - 101?

  I have 479 pin provided Pentiuma® M 730 1.6 Ghz processor. It is insufficient for some tasks more. So I would like to upgrade CPU, but is it possible?

  Hello

  Theoretically, it is possible to upgrade the CPU but practically it is not easy to do.
  The M40 comes with different CPU's.
  As far as I know, these processors has been used and are compatible:
  -Processor Intel Dothan (533 MHz)
  730 1.6 GHz
  740 1.73 GHz
  750 1.86 GHz
  760 2.0 GHz
  770 2.13 GHz

  It seems that notebook was shipped with the first.
  But believe me; No one can tell if the laptop can run successfully after the CPU upgrade.
  As you probably know the faster and more powerful processor produces more heat and this could lead to overheating of the laptop.
  In my view, this is a serious problem and you should be careful

  By the way: Please check this thread. The risk of upgrading have been described very detailed:

• Satellite Pro 4600, memory upgrade

  I have twice had problems trying to upgrade memory to my Satellite Pro 4600, so I decided to ask directly if Kingston KTC-SO133/256 MB is compatible with this machine?

  It's the SODIMM I'm about to try next, but I have to pay for it first.

  Problems were that the SODIMM modules is not compatible with the wonderful piece of memory or it won't work at all with Toshiba.

  Is there an availave list what type of bars of memory are compatible?

  Sorry, I can tell you that I use the Original from Toshiba 'PA3069U - 1 M 25' memory (its a KIT of MEMORY of 256 MB)

  works great!

• Satellite Pro L10 Memory Upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro L10 Celeron M Processor 360 1.4 GHz / XP HE / 256 MB / 40 GB / 15TFT / DVD-CDRW / OneNote. I wanted to upgrade the RAM, and I noticed that in the manual it says:

  Before installing a new module memory 512 MB do not forget to remove already installed memory modules.

  Does that mean that I can not install a 512 MB module and more the 256 MB is already a total of 768 MB?

  Thanks for any advice,

  Luis

  Hi Luis,.

  The specifications of your laptop indicates that it can accept up to 1 024 MB of RAM. If you have 2 RAM slots, so you can use any combination of modules of RAM as long as you do not exceed the maximum quotes. Of course if you have only 1 RAM slt then you must remove the original 256 MB module before insert you new 512 MB a.
