More RAM in Portege 3440CT?

• Re: Portege 3440CT - starting problems

  I received a Portege 3440CT by a former colleague. It works under Windows 2000. She has not used in more than 5 years and can't remember what the password was. I tried to log in as administrator with a blank password, but the password has not been left white (grr) so basically I can't cross the password prompt.

  Shouldn't be a problem - there are a lot of Internet password recovery tools. I did a disk using this one here: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/ intending to boot from the disk - there is a brand USB Toshiba external floppy drive.

  HOWEVER: the Portege stubbornly refuses to do. The boot order is set to try the FDD before all other options; I manually told to boot from diskettes; There is no ignoring me and Win2K boot from the hard drive. Would be very grateful for any ideas!

  I do not have:
  a reader of CD or DVD for laptop;
  a network connection or internet on it, as far as I know;
  disk recovery or installation of Windows;
  anyway to start Windows without knowing the password.

  I have:
  USB flash drives / external hard disk drives;
  The installer of Ubuntu (although on a CD, so useless without a CD player?);
  other computers.

  Wipe the hard drive is a solution I'd be happy to see if anyone can advise me on how to do it - there is nothing important about the laptop that should be retrieved.

  Hi abi278,
  first of all: what do you think?

  -install a new os on this machine?
  -use the operating system installed?

  get rid of the operating system administrator password:
  -install the drive in another system and run norhdahls supertool > read each line which is given! It is able to check the registry to another hard drive as the boot device.
  -make an installation of xp on another machine, sysprep this installation and change drive hard back
  -install the drive in another system and make it bootable with back, copy the source files for the system of desires and run the installation after you reinstall hard drive to your ct 3440

  Maybe you need a special player to install...

  BTW: nordahls disc resets passwords * inside * your operating system - read the manual of this powerful tool.

• Portege 3440CT: update my O.S.

  I have a Toshiba - Portege 3440CT. My operating system is Windows 98, distributed by Toshiba. Now I need an update for my O.S. and I am looking for Windows 2000 or more. I need a help.
  Thank you

  Hi Octavian,

  You are very lucky. You re Portege 3440CT are supported for Windows 2000.
  The best way to install the new OS is to use the original recovery CD Toshiba. If you do not have one you need to install all of the individual drivers.

  On the next page, you can find the necessary drivers:

• Is it possible to upgrade RAM in Portege M300

  Is it possible to increase the RAM in Portege M300 laptop?

  Hello

  Yes, it is possible.

  Especially this oldie came with 512 MB (2 x 256 MB) of RAM installed.
  It should be possible to extend the RAM 1024 MB (2 x 512 MB)

  I think that details could be found in the user manual that you can download on the Toshiba page:

• Installation of Win2k on Portege 3440CT

  I just hand over a (damaged) Portege 3440CT without a hard drive. I have no external drives, but I am trying to install an operating system. I can boot in DOS, if I format a hard drive to make it bootable (I used a Toshiba non bootable USB utility or by placing it in a machine DOS from a floppy).

  If I put the installation of Win2K disk files and run I386\winnt.exe installation begins, copies the files to the hard drive (no matter whether they are in the same partition) and restart ' to continue installation', except that it isn't. He just restsrts and is there with a flashing _.

  Am I missing something? Did I try already worked? Any suggestions?

  Neil

  PS. the damage is one of the hinges, I want to make a picture frame.

  Hello, Neil

  I'm glad to hear that you have installed W2K on this laptop old but nice. Thanks for the comments. If you have time, maybe you explain in detail how you did that. In my view, it may be useful for other people who have that old model laptop.

  I assume that you have created two partitions on the HARD drive, copied the I386 folder on the second and from there begins the process facilities. Am I right about that?

• Portege 3440CT: how to format HARD drive

  Hi all

  After suffering a little frustration, I decided to use the wealth of knowledge and experience which is available on the support forum.

  I have a Portege 3440CT which has been delivered to my friend a few years ago, by a company she worked at the time. When the company replaced the laptop, we were allowed to keep the old, we use very occasionally. Unfortunately, the laptop has recently experienced a failure total and irrecoverable from the original hard drive, which was not a huge setback because there was no essential data there.

  In any case, I have from a compatible spare hard drive - a Hitachi 30 GB ATA-5 / IDE 2.5 "9.5 mm 4200 RPM, Pt not ' DK23CA-30F - and mounted, but as the hard disk is not formatted the laptop does not see it is there. As I said earlier, the laptop was provided by the employer, so we are not in possession of any recovery disks Toshiba or Windows that may have been provided, the laptop was originally running Windows 98 Second edition, and the sticker detailing the product key is always on the underside.

  I approached one of the suppliers of services of Toshiba for help and they directed me to Toshiba.
  Toshiba says that the laptop is no longer supported so they directed me to a service provider, I went around in circles.

  My question is, if I bought a copy of Windows 98 SE, or Windows XP and installed on the external floppy drive, which would also include a facility to format the hard drive? I think that in Windows 98 Second edition, there was a function of FDISK. I was able to access the pages of the BIOS after looking through advice given here, I can change the order of boot with no problems

  What I request, essentially, is that now, I have installed a new hard drive, what do I do next?

  > My question is, if I bought a copy of Windows 98 SE, or Windows XP and installed on the external floppy drive, which would also include a facility to format the hard drive?

  Yes, definitely Yes! The installation of Win98or of other versions of Windows like W2K or XP provides an option to format the HARD drive before installing the operating system.
  Simply boot from the bootable CD to get this feature.

• Update BIOS on Portege 3440CT.

  Hello!

  I have a Portege 3440CT with version 1.50 of bios.

  This version does not support large HARD drive so I thought I would update to the BIOS. (I do not know if the version 1.60 don't either, does anyone know?)

  When I try to run the program to update the bios on win2000, he says: 'Initial error', someone knows what is the cause?

  BIOS is downloaded from the Web Toshibas website.

  I have no floppy or CD-rom available.
  Have you tried the update on win98 and also in the BACK and he says ' this not available in v86 mode utility!

  Is it possible to place the BIOS on a small hard drive and boot from that?

  Ideas, anyone?

  Sorry CyB, but I really don't understand you. If you see the Toshiba support page you will find two updates to the BIOS. Two of them must be done using the floppy drive. So now I'm wondering why you try to do it under operating system running. Sorry, but this is really ridiculous.

  Toshiba offer two different BIOS updates. One is TRAD (must be done with the FDD) and WIN (can be done under WXP or now Vista). For old models of laptops there is no version of WIN.

  Is it possible to place the BIOS on a small hard drive and boot from that?

  As far as I know something like this is not possible and you can check eBay and get the FDD. You can get it for little money. It's really cheap.

  Hello

  When you go to

  This disc is also a startup disk and is responsible for the detection of external CD ROM

• More Ram in Qosmio X 300 W

  Hello
  Howe can insert more Ram of Qosmio x 300 W, I'm on Vista Ultimate 64-bit so I would have 8 GB of Ram.
  But I can't know that it is possible where the extra 4 GB Ram should be.

  Hello

  Did you check your user manual?
  Isn't it? Do it!

  As far as I know these details are always mentioned in the manual of the user who is always pre-installed on the notebook.

  I think the banks of memory are placed at the bottom of the unit and you can access it easily.
  The slot should be placed close to cooling fans and it s covered by a screw.
  Remove it and you should be able to remove the cover of the location too.

  In the manual you should also find a detailed how instruction insert new modules from memory. It of not really difficult.

  I also found an info that the RAM modules of 1 GB, 2 GB and 4 GB can be inserted into the two slots.

  I hope I could help you!

• Satellite M70-131 - I want to add more RAM

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M70-131
  Part number: PSM70E-01500RAR

  I want to add more RAM, because I know you have to check three points to buy a new:
  -How can I add?
  -The type of RAM?
  -The number of the BIOS or BUS?

  I'm not sure about the third point, I know that I can add to 2G, and the type of RAM is DDR2.
  But if I have the right point, how can I check the number (BIOS or BUS)? Because I tried to add one, but did ' t work!

  Help me please
  Thnx 4 all

  Hello!

  The Satellite M70-131 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM and you have already said you need DDR2 RAM.
  Specification for RAM is DDR2 400/533 and you can add two modules with 1 GB of capacity of each module. The reference is PA3411U-1M1G.

  What do you mean with many BUS and BIOS? This has nothing to do with an upgrade of RAM.

• Equium A100-303: looking to add more RAM

  Hello

  I recently bought a laptop equium A100-303 and am lookin to add more RAM. I was just wondering if it should be buffered or non-buffered or is it important?

  I currently have 1 GB of ram (512 + 512 MB as it is a dual core processor) and I'm looking to move to 2 GB (1024 + 1024). I know that the guy is PC4200, 200 pin SODIMM.

  Also where would be the cheepest place to buy these? Thank you.

  Hello

  > just wondering if it should be buffered or non-buffered or is it important

  Well, Toshiba has recommended using own memory as PA3411U-2M1G modules, but I put t find any information if the module supports ECC (means stored stamped) or Non - ECC (means not stamped)
  To my knowledge, the buffer ECC is about 30% slower than Non - ECC modules.

  He name of your choice what you will buy, but I would recommend purchasing a brand s module.
  I know modules without name are cheaper brand modules are much faster and performance, but the quality is better in the form of modules without name.

  So googel a bit and you will find many offers online. Simply compare prices

• Too bright light on the screen of Portege 3440CT (running Windows 2000)

  Hello

  Do you know how to reduce the brightness on the screen of the laptop Portege 3440CT running Windows 2000?

  I have another question about the 3440CT Portege battery: battery charge never, I can't solve the problem, I left the power supply 8 days but battery levy at all! I had the same problem with a second battery?

  Any ideas?

  Kind regards
  Jerome

  Hi jnessi,

  as far as I know, you can change the brightness of the P3440 with the key Fn and F2! Agic otherwise your settings in the tool!

  If two batteries are as old as the portege, it may be that this batteries are too old!
  Otherwise your electronic of power supply is damaged, but I do not! ;-)

• Allocate more RAM for integrated graphics - HP Pavilion 15-n225nr TouchSmart laptop

  Hi, I have a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-n225nr Notebook PC, which is optimal for workloads but (A10 2.10 GHz AMD quad-core processor, came with 8 GB of ram and 750 GB HARD drive), however, recently tried to make a few games but this laptop has an intgrated GPU. I read that the upgrade of RAM will do not much but I ordered a second card of 8 GB of ram, because I want to increase the framerate by every single FPS I can ge and I'm coming soon, so I'll have 16 GB of RAM and the fact he'll be dual channel is a more. I have also read that by upgrading the RAM you can upgrade the amount of ram used by your integrated gpu because there will be more RAM available for use. I don't know if by upgradinng the RAM VRAM happen automatically or if I'll be able to do it manually, I read that you can do it via the BIOS, I don't know for shure if possible.

  So, is it possible to increase the fraction of my RAM than my integrated graphics card uses?, if yes, how?

  If it is not possible to what can do to increase my FPS on the game?, because I can't change a dedicated GPU because it's a laptop.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  According to the specifications of your computer, to graph total 4195 MB memory is the maximum that can be used. Regardless of the amount of dedicated, is all that can be used as memory dedicated. As a general rule, Windows controls the amount of memory used by the video card. This means that you will not be able to change the settings in the BIOS that will change this option. This isn't a computer class in the game and you expect too much of him.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• More Ram = better performace?

  I thought I'd get some more RAM, but I don't know if this can help unless you hit the limits of what you have... wasn't sure if having many a head room was an advantage at all...

  It's my avarage use,

  In your mac: No.

  Perhaps it is that an upgrade of the disk can bring more performance:

  Give us the name, size, and free space in your boot drive.

  Hello

  I found information on the compatible modules:
  PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  The PA3312U - 1 M 51 is a 512 MB memory PC2100/PC2700 DDR SODIMM 333 MHz module.
  Well, maybe your module has a malfunction. Have you checked the module?
