• Portege Z930-10F - memory upgrade

  Hello

  I recently bought a laptop computer Z930, and I thought about upgrading the RAM.

  I wanted to buy a 8 GB DIMMS, but I noticed on the specifications that the maximum memory allowed is 6 GB (this means a DIMM 4 GB + 2 GB on the motherboard). It is a restriction of the card mother or similar? If this is not the case, the laptop would go with 10 GB of memory?

  Thank you!

  This is the newest model of Portege and on this forum we don t have a lot of reports on the RAM upgrade.
  I ve checked specification too and it says 4 GB of RAM you can use for the upgrade, so just for your info: compatible 4 GB RAM except the number PA5037U-1M4G.

• The Portege 7140 (HDD, memory) upgrade

  Hello
  I recently bought a second hand Portege through eBay. I did a little research and I feel that the 7140 has a Bay memory expansion in which I can put a stick of memory of 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, or 256 MB. Toshiba sells only a maximum of 128 MB, but Kingston sells a key of 256 MB for laptop. The 256 MB will work fine?

  Second question - can stick any disk drive 2.5 "EIDE in the laptop? Is there a technical specification somewhere that lists the BIOS revision against the sizes of drive support?

  Last question - I have not actually received the laptop again and read the pdf data sheet it seems as if she isn't an internel floppy drive? If this is correct, the only way I'll be able to upgrade the bios is through the windows, is this correct? The only problem, if this is the case, it's that I use Linux not Windows. I might have to buy an external floppy drive.

  In any case thank you for any help or suggestions anyone may have.

  Hi Spinksi,

  Colleague of mine has the same machine at home. He put 256 MB of RAM and it works fine. Its RAM is manufactured by Toshiba. You can also use RAM Kingston.

  There's also a 20-GB HARD drive. It works fine. Before changing do updating BIOS HARD drive. You can find the latest Version on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin under download BIOS. You'll find Toshiba BIOS update Description. Read it before you continue. It is very important.

  So I know we're no sort of spec where you can find data on the BIOS and disk sizes.

  Answer to your last question is: you're right. Portege had no floppy drive, and you need to update the BIOS. But I'm sure you can find cheap one by ebay.

  Good bye

• Re: Looking for the (old) RAM Portege 3490

  I'll try to find to improve my Portege 3490 of 128 to 256 MB of RAM (max possible if I understood).
  I looked at a few sites on the internet but can't find RAM for this model.
  Anyone know of a store / site to buy from?
  I am located in France-Paris.
  Thank you

  Have a look here:
  Memory for Toshiba Portege 3490
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=11756&ft=m&St=3

  The 3490CT Portege manages max 256 MB of RAM.
  But internal 128MB memory so you can use max 128 MB RAM module!

  You must use the MicroDIMM as mentioned on this page!

  Recently saved this PC of my friend tries to throw it. Everything is fine with the PC. It works perfectly and there is no material visible failure wihtin the PC either. He just bought a new and had no need for this one.

  Before turn me this into a House mutli-purpose server, I decided to upgrade the RAM.

  So I did some research and found this page: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01883661

  DDR3 240-pin DIMM 1333 MHz non - ECC, Max 4 GB per DIMM slot, Total Max 16 GB module.

  I went and bought RAM Corsair. Link to the product: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cmv4gx3m1a1333c9

  I decided to get 2x4gb and upgrade later if I felt the need.

  I was happy to install in the PC. one in DIMM 1 slot and the other in the DIMM 2 slot.

  BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

  I thought that maybe the slots are wrong, maybe they have to odd numbers then numbers.

  So I changed the RAM of DIMM 2 DIMM 3.

  Once again, the annoying ringtone.

  I even tried leaving just the 4 GB DIMM 1 and tried to start the PC, but nothing helped.

  I tried a lot of different combinations with the end result is 5 annoying beeps.

  After that I thought that maybe, just maybe, an update of the BIOS can change things.

  So I installed Windows 7 (I can't stand Windows. Arch Linux FTW) and performing a BIOS update.

  I then installed the new RAM again. Yes... frickin 5 beeps AGAIN.

  I am extremely disappointed at this point. I spent already $ 70 on a computer with free access.

  I read the forums here, but I couldn't find a thread with a solution for me.

  Is there anyone on this forum who could lend me a helping hand?

  Any information would be gladly appreciated.

  PS Please report any stupid error, I did. Stick and stones could not curb my bones.

• Portege 3490, installation of an operating system?

  I just bought a 2nd hand portege 3490 and I was wondering what the easiest way is to put an operating system on it can I just whack in a USB CD-ROM and do it this way?

  Hello

  normally, you need a PCMCIA CD-ROM because you must start the operating system installation CD when you want to install a new OS!

  But in my opinion, it should also work with a USB disk, a Boot disk and a USB CD Rom

  You must include a driver CD Rom courable on the startup disk.

  You cannot boot from a USB CD directly, try this.

  Or contact you a Toshiba Service partner, they have the PCMCIA reader. But you will pay for it!

• Portege 3490 - new Seagate hard drive (20gig) - cannot install OS

  I bought a second hard Portege 3490 and the hard drive was broken. I got a 20 GB drive to spare by Seagate (model 92011). I have a USB and PCMCIA cdrom disk. I downloaded disk hard Seagate tools/drivers installation and launch the setup and set up all partitions etc..

  Whenever I try to install windows (XP Pro, 2000 or even 2000 Server), I insert the cd it works through the first step of the loading of the drivers etc, then as soon as it gets to the part where he says is now "setting" start ", where he would normally the first reboot, I get a blue screen error, it is usually the"Inaccessible_Boot_device"error message, but sometimes He won't say. I get the same problem with XP or 2000. The only CD that I have are version OEM of Windows 2000 or XP pro, not specific Toishiba.

  Please can someone let me know what this means? Is the disk hard not compatiable (my dealer says Toshiba it should be), or y at - it problems with the drivers, etc?

  Any help would be appreciated, I was stuck with this for centuries and make me desperate. The machine has no warranty dealer wants £150 just to take a peek. I'll happily pay cash for a working solution.

  Hi Rhodri,

  Check your BIOS settings to make sure that your list of boot device is set correctly and in the right order. Maybe it's that the system tries to re-boot during installation, but the bad device.

• Portege 3490, to install new HDD with windows xp ready?

  My hard drive failed recently on my portege 3490. I bought a 20 GB seagate replacement hard drive. I installed Windows XP pro by connecting the drive (via adapter) to my office and ran the installation cd.

  I thought that I could then just mount the drive in the Portege and be good to go. However when I turn right away on the system asks me to insert the disc system.

  I don't have a floppy drive and my single cd is a USB and I can't use it to start.

  Someone at - it any ideas how I can get this working?

  I plugged my other laptop (Toshiba no) with the same drive and it booed immediately. Thanks for your help

  Hello

  Unfortunately I have no drivers list, but on the download from Toshiba site you will find about 18 different drivers for your device using BONE of W2000. Check it on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

  As far as I know, it won't be easy to do something without floppy drive. I have no much experience with the Portege series but you can try to make two partitions on the second, you can copy the OS disk and start the installation of this partition. Even if you do this, you must start the unit with the startup disk.

• For Portege 3490 AC adapter does not work with the Satellite A100-159

  I have a supply of 15V 120W car (or plane Kensington). It works very well with a Portege 3490CT. It doesn't do a thing with my Satellite A100-159 new. The power supply provides also 15 V 6 a. Can someone tell me why the Kensington work?

  Or does anyone have a diagram to a power supply adapted myself, preference of 11, 5-14, 12(4) and 24 VDC (23-28: 8)?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I can give t you an answer why it does not work but usually you need to use the adapter for vehicle recommended by Toshiba. Incorrect adapter may damage the laptop!
  I think that the card for Portege 3490 adapter is not compatible with Satellite A100

  That the two car/truck/Air 120W laptop charger must be compatible:
  PX1237E-1NPO
  PX1235E-1NPO

• Max Memory Upgrade for Pavilion a810y

  How can I find the AMT of max memory I can put in my Pavilion a810y?  It of sites that say 4 GB and other telling that to 2 GB.  Is the real answer please stand up.

  Hello:

  Your PC would have the Intel 915 chipset.

  If the motherboard has no memory, each with 1 GB of memory, 2 slots then you're at the max.

  Locations of Intel 915 chipset memory cannot manage more than 1 GB of memory.

  The crucial memory upgrade link I posted said your PC had 4 locations of memory, so that the info is wrong.

  If you upgrade to W7, I recommend you only go with the 32-bit version on your PC.

  A 64-bit system requires more disk space and memory to run as a 32-bit system doesn't work - not double, but, with only 2 GB of memory, a 32 bit OS will perform a little better that will be a 64 bit OS, but who is to you.

• HP CQ61-313US posible memory upgrade configurations?

  I have this laptop: HP CQ61-313US (with Windows7 64 bit) (card mother AMD = SKU: 577064-001)

  Origin this model laptop has 3 GB (1 GB x 1 + 2 x 1 GB) memory DDR2 800 MHz PC2 6400 S.

  Now, I would like to upgrade memory a little bit, and according to the specifications (manual booklet to print and pdf) it is (recommended?, recommended?, applicable only?)  configurations of memory upgrade - here's the Manual:

  2 SODIMM slots

  Customer-accessible/extendable

  PC2-6400, 800 MHz, DDR2

  Supports dual-channel memory

  Supports up to 8 GB of RAM, in the following configurations:

  8192 MB (4096 × 2)

  4096 MB (2048 × 2)

  3072 MB (2 048 × 1 + 1024 × 1)

  2048 MB (2 048 × 1).

  2048 MB (1024 × 2)

  1024 MB (1024 × 1).

  As you can see only 6 GB isn't on the list, which is incomprehensible to me, particularly because you can combine 1 GB x 1 + 2 GB x 1 to get 3 GB, but not 2 x 1 + 4 x 1 for 6 GB GB GB as I would like.

  So basically my question should be: is it possible to install 6 GB memory 2 GB x 1 + 4 GB x 1 on this motherboard despite the fact that it is not mentioned in the manual configuration?

  If YES, then what configuration would be better: 6 GB (2 GB x 1 + 4 x 1 GB) or 4 GB (2 GB x 2)?

  You are the very welcome.

  I agree entirely with you suggestion.

  You have a laptop HP Pavilion 2002au g6. Unfortunately you happened to choose a laptop that is not so simple to upgrade.

  You will need to contact an online memory provider and ask them for help to find a guaranteed compatible 8 GB upgrade or buy the upgrade from HP.

  Search for suppliers of memory online using Google or Bing and ""memory upgrade HP Pavilion g6-2002au ' as keywords. " I strongly recommend that you don't settle for anything memory compatible modules less guaranteed by well known memory manufacturers.
