Laptop Satellite 1100 - updated.

Greetings,

I realize that it is a older laptop, but I want to upgrade for later use. There currently a drive of 20 GB and 256 MB, but I would like to know if this can be improved, and what are the limits. For example. can I switch to 1 GB of memory and a 40 or 80 GB HDD?

Sincere greetings and thanks for the advice,

Andy

Hello

I found the info that RAM limit is 1024MB. You can use RAM to follow modules:
128 MB (PA3085U - 1 M 12)
256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)
512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)

I don't have any specific information on the HARD drive, but I think that 30 or 40 GB HARD drive should be recognized correctly. I put t think that HDD with more capacity are recognized correctly. This kind of information can take you by the partner or reseller.

Good bye

    can someone tell me if the lan port at the back of the laptop (satellite 1100 z3) can be activated

    Hello

    as far as I know that the Z3 Satellite 1100 is not a network card.

    But normally, if the network driver is installed correctly and that the network card is not a problem, simply create a connection to the local network. The LAN port needs to be activated separately.

    Hello

    Can someone tell me what RAM (name and number, etc.) I need to buy to upgrade my laptop (Satellite M30X) to make it work faster? I have 512 MB of RAM right now and it is not enough. I thought about 1 or 2 GB of RAM but is there a limit on the amount of ram I can install on my computer?

    I have no idea how to replace RAM or how many slots my computer has the RAM. Can someone tell me who also?

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop your laptop model has two memory slots and can manage with 2 GB RAM max. So if you want to use the maximum RAM, you must use 2 x 1 GB RAM module. The compatible part number PA3313U-1M1G.

    Hello get them

    Sorry for this, but you must be kidding!

    You know you need to use the good BIOS and the proper procedure upgrade of BIOS, don t you?

    Incorrect BIOS may damage the motherboard and I'm afraid of what happened on your computer laptop m. ;(

    Maybe you are a lucky man and the BISO right will bring the motherboard to life, but it is very questionable.

    I think that in this case only, a technician can help you. Try to contact the ASP in your country.

  • Satellite 1100: Excel keeps freezing - too low virtual memory

    I have a satellite 1100. My Microsort Excel program keeps freezing (mainly when I print or you are trying to save) and then tells me to stop.

    So, I also have a message icon telling me that I am low on virtual memory. Microsoft stop related to memory being low?

    How can I increase the memory? Or do I just need a new laptop! Help, please.

    Hello

    Satellite 1100 is really an old classic, but he should be able to use common desktop applications such as Word or Excel with no problems
    Virtual memory also known under the name a paging file is a file on your disk (default C:\pagefile.sys) than Windows applications and use more physical memory (RAM) according to your needs. The default and the recommended of pagefile.sys size is 1.5 times the amount of physical memory. Virtual memory is the amount of physical memory and the pagefile. So, if your computer has 512 MB of RAM, there is a page file 768 MB by default, for a total of 1.25 GB of physical + virtual memory.

    So what to do in your case? Generally, the RAM upgrade should solve this problem. You can also try to increase the size of the pagefile.sys.
    This can be done in system-> tab advanced properties-> Performance settings-> advanced-> virtual memory change tab.

    After the change of virtual memory, you have to restart the laptop again.
    If this will not help then an upgrade of RAM would be required or a new laptop effective ;)

  • Built in camera Chicony USB no longer works on laptop Satellite A200

    All of a sudden, the built-in in my laptop Satellite A200 Chicony USB webcam has stopped working - it was going very well about 6 weeks ago, but now it's as if he has actually disappeared from the laptop. The camera does not even on devices such as equipment manager - there is no single category of imaging devices (unless I am also connected to our printer/scanner). It is also not displayed in 'scanners and cameras' folder in the control panel. But the software (Toshiba Camera Assistant software) is still there. Weird.

    When I start the computer first, or at other times try to start the camera, an error message appears that says:
    * "webcam driver open fail. Restart the computer or the camera. "

    Before you tell me to download and reinstall the drivers, let me tell you what I "ve tried so far:"
    1 restart the computer (obviously)
    2 downloaded the driver for my model on this site and variously has tried to repair, replace and finally uninstalled and reinstalled the. IT IS NOT THE DRIVER!
    3 unplugged my wireless USB mouse and restart the computer (I read on another thread that it sometimes interferes with the camera)
    4 tried to get the computer looking for new hardware - he couldn't find it.
    5 tried a system restore, where it was linked to a recent update - I tried this using three different restore points system, and none of them could not be completed.

    Help! necessary technical assistance
    Thank you

    All that you have done is just.

    In all this history it's strange this webcam is not listed in Device Manager.
    In my opinion, you should do a final test to check the operation of the equipment, if you want to install the OS by using recovery DVDs.

    With own factory and OS preinstalled settings, you can check the operation of the equipment and see if the cam will work or not.
    If the problem will be the same I'm almost sure it's related to the faulty webcam.

  • Startup issue on my laptop satellite

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite that has been infected by a virus over the weekend that required a restore of the computer, since then I had files it twice because after the first series of windows updates (74) he always tells me that I put up-to-date, then after having installed the last batch (24) the computer starts and launch the desktop but then will be closed and will restart over and over again, this is the second time that has happened since the virus.

    The laptop had windows updates install every day since I bought it which seemed a little strange.
    Can you help me please?

    Please be so kind and tell us which model of laptop you have exactly.

    You must understand that Toshiba recovery image is perhaps a few months and there is nothing unusual that the OS detects many available Microsoft updates must be installed. I recommend only to install important updates only.
    Just be patient and install all important updates.

    Carefully monitor what will happen with the restart of these next few days and let know us if this will happen again and again.

  • Can not connect to my laptop Satellite L655 - 14 c to the TV via HDMI

  • Satellite 1100 keyboard does not work properly

    My old Satellite 1100 works perfectly, but suddenly the letter 'B' and the space bar don't work at all. I clean under the keys without making a difference. Please check the connection to the motherboard? (Why this should suddenly I don't know failure.)
    I plugged an old keyboard via an adapter to the USB port, but this material is not recognized (although the keyboard lights). Download a driver for my old keyboard from somewhere?
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    First, there is no driver for the keyboard, because it s a main machine and it s connected via PS/2. If a keyboard that is connected to a PS/2 (and even in an internal PS/2 port of the laptop) won´t never ever need a driver.

    And with regard to the two keys: you can try it. There are just a few screws under the lid of the keyboard that needs to be unscrewed;), and finally, you check the cable. If you have not received some success
    a readjustment of the cable, then the keyboard is probably defective. In this case, it would be good to check ebay for parts for example.
    Usually, the reference of the keyboard must be printed on a sticker on the bottom of the keyboard.

    Please give some feedback, when it's...

  • Unable to start my laptop Satellite Pro - orange flashing

    I can't boot my laptop Satellite Pro.
    I have an orange light flashes. I tried to remove the battery and hold the power button, but it did not work...

    Help

    I agree with Liam.
    The indicator flashes as a serious hardware problem was detected.
    What you could do is remove the RAM modules and test the device with the new test modules but I guess that is not RAM problem but something wrong with the motherboard.

  • New laptop Satellite C50-A-1CK Fan make a static/crackling sound?

    I recently introduced a new laptop Satellite C50-A-1CK the December 8,.

    I didn't use the phone a lot.
    I noticed in the last days the fan made a static/crackling sound power, seems to come from the fan (on the upper right corner) when it turns.

    Is this normal?
    I think back to the retailer and asking for Exchange?

    Just for looking for some advice, much appreciated!

    Thank you.

    > Is this normal?

    No, this isn't a common behavior of laptop and I don t think that the sound or noise is normal.

    > I think back to the retailer and asking for Exchange?

    In my opinion it s certainly a good idea to check another unit and compare appearances of noise

  • Satellite 1100 Z6 display problems

    Hello

    I have a Satellite 1100 Z6 and the screen does not appear correctly. It seems to show what I can only describe as a low resolution image.

    I instslled the last card (downloaded at Toshiba) Intel graphics driver and my settings are 1024 x 768 at 60 Hz and I have tried tweeking the settings but without success.

    I believe that the cause is due to an incorrect display driver and not the graphics driver that my display driver shows as a standard 'Digital Flat Panel' under hardware devices. I tried several drivers display different but once again with no luck.

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Hello

    Sorry, but I don't see any problem here. Your device has 14.1 "TFT color display. The resolution is 1024 x 768. If this resolution is shown, that there is no problem at all.
