Portege 4000 1 GB memory upgrade?

Hello!
I have an old laptop Toshiba Portege 4000.
The manual indicates a upgrade memory up to 512 MB (2x256MB) is possible. But the technical specification on toshiba-live website indicates an upgrade memory up to 1 GB (2x512MB) is possible.
I brought 2x512MB (SO-DIMM 512 MB SD RAM SDRAM PC133 PC 133 512 MB 144 PINS) ANONYMOUS memory from ebay and it does not work. The system does not start.

Now my question. Can I go up to 1 GB with the Kingston memory recommended toshiba or it just won't work in general?
Anyone here with experience on that?

Thanks in advance.

normally a portege 4000 is upgradeble up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB sdram pc133, 3, 3v)

However the architecture and the number of tokens on the modules can cause an incomptability, so I guess that "misfortune."

on ebay-express you can find them for about 50 US$ (search for portege 4000; memory)

  • Portege 4000 - I would like to upgrade memory: 256 MB to 512 MB

    Hello

    I have a Portege 4000 and want to upgrade the memory: 256 MB to 512 MB.
    It has 98SE and the user always wants to keep this system.

    Does anyone know if there is a known issue with the upgrade to 512 MB I saw a thread in 2005, by someone who had a problem?

    I suppose that the memory SODIMM PC133. I ordered a 512 MB of RAM to aememory last year, but the system would have not even begun. Maybe they had sent me the wrong chip?

    Thank you

    Tim

    Hmm. perhaps that the RAM modules are not 100% compatible
    To my knowledge, it should be possible to upgrade the RAM up. 1 GB (2 x 512 MB)
    You could also upgrade to 512 MB by using one or two 256 MB modules.

    You must use the PC133 144 pin SODIMM modules and I found these modules that are compatible:
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)

  • Portege 4000 memory upgrade

    I bought memory to upgrade my Portege 4000 (128 MB SDRAM SODIMM 144 pin) when I installed in the empty slot and turned on the laptop the green light at the top came on, power led but nothing started and no noise to suggest whatever it is started either!

    I took this new module and leave the original in there and it starts perfectly. Does anyone know what is the problem?

    Help, please!
    Thanks in advance!

    It s a clear man thing memory module is faulty, or you use only is not supported and not supported one!
    The Portege 4000 supports max 1024MB (2x512MB) memory.
    I think you should try the Toshiba recommended memory SDRAM like these modules:
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)
    PC133 128 MB (PA3085U - 1 M 12)

  • Portege 4000 - upgrade RAM & graphic card driver installation

    I'm having some trouble with my Portege 4000 for the moment. I installed XP on a disk, but will no longer have that I have 256 MB of RAM...

    -Have you tried 2 manufacturers but the PC133 512 is not compatible. However, my system has an IBM of PC100 256 chip, which was bought early last year, after much trial and error, and I wonder now if the motherboard will be more suited to the PC100 and PC133 non?

    -Consider the options alternative to XP, 98SE or 2000 because they are lighter operating systems. I can put it on a spare drive (test). Is it possible to set up a partition for recovery CD Rom (which has 98SE) on this subject and have little space left over to install another Linux operating system or its Manager partition crushes everything?

    -J' put another post for .exe drivers related to the display/vga for 98SE and 2000.

    -Just for the record, not all Linux distributions seem to go back on the size of the screen, so it takes some work...

    Thanks much for any help.

    The protégé 4000 is compatible with the PC133 modules! AFAIK, you can upgrade RAM of this notebook 1 GB (1024 MB) and you can use these modules;
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)
    PC133 128 MB (PA3085U - 1 M 12)

    You can create partitions on the HARD drive using a 3rd party like Partition Magic 8 tool. I use this tool and it's really nice.
    After you create 2 or three partitions on the HARD disk, you could install different OS (operating systems).

  • Portege 4000 - Win 98SE want to update

    I have a Portege 4000 and I'm looking to switch from Windows 98SE. The obvious alternatives are W2000, XP or Ubuntu Linux.

    If I can find a full version of Windows XP Home edition, I'd be able to make a clean (rather than upgrade) installation and get drivers?
    Officially, the laptop is only compatible with 98SE or 2000, but these systems are old now.

    I imagine that if I update XP 98SE on it will keep all the drivers, but this is not my preferred method of installation and installs own are better.

    Win98 uses Win95 Basic code, which is not compatible with NT/2000/XP. If the Win98 drivers do not work.

    You must back up your documents, format C: then install fresh XP.

    You can use the drivers Windows 2000 XP - sound basically the same operating system internally.
    If for any reason any the Win2000 drivers do not work, you can use XP drivers from other models of same era.

  • Portege 4000 hard drive replacement

    The hard drive on my portege 4000 has just crashed, can someone please provide guidance on a suitable replacement or upgrade part, where I can buy one and what does this change?

    Hello

    replacing the HARD drive is not very difficult on laptops because especially HARD drive is laced at the bottom of the unit and it of only necessary to remove the cover.

    To remove the HARD drive, follow the steps below:
    1. turn the computer.
    2. remove the two silver screws that attach the HARD drive cover.
    3. lift the cover of the HARD drive.
    4 enter the plastic on the HARD disk tab to disconnect the system HARD drive, then pull the HARD drive.
    5. place the HARD drive on a flat pack and remove the four screws flat head.
    6. remove the HARD drive bracket.

    That s all :)

    PS: I think you can use 10 GB, 20 GB and 30 GB hard drives

  • Portege 4000 hard drive Replacement - what HARD drive is compatible?

    Is it possible to find a replacement for my Portege 4000 HARD drive, because the original becomes very capricious?

    Hi mate

    I think that the Portege 4000 is an elder and in my opinion this laptop supports a 2.5 HARD disk.
    I m not 100% sure, so I recommend you to install a hardware diagnostic tool like Everest Home Edition which would provide all the information on the HARD drive is internal.
    That would help you get a new, compatible HARD drive.

  • HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF: HP Compaq 6000 Pro Compact (SFF) - memory upgrade problems

    < <! UPGRADE MEMORY SHOULDN'T BE COMPLICATED! > >

    Chassis: HP Compaq 6000 Pro Compact

    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo @3. 00 GHz

    RAM: 2 x 1 GB

    OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I can add more technical info on request.

    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 4000 - how to install the display driver for XP?

    Hi-

    I did a clean install of XP Portege 4000. The system has been previously default 98SE.

    Noticed that there is a yellow exclamation point in other devices about the video controller (VGA compatible). I downloaded the display on the Toshiba site driver (if it is the right thing?), but can't seem to install. There is no setup.exe to help me.

    My XP screen covers only 3/4 or more of the screen total, so that something is wrong somewhere...

    Hello

    No, Toshiba don't support Linux or Ubuntu on the Portege 4000 and you can t find drivers for it on the Toshiba page. Only Windows drivers are available.

    I m not an expert in Linux, but as far as I know you don t need additional graphic driver for Ubuntu. You should only change the resolution of the screen or something in the settings of the screen. I had the same problem on the first time I used Linux and I could solve it without additional driver but I put t know how I did it :(

  • Portege 4000 - Installed W2K - wireless connection problem

    I installed W2K the Portege 4000. XP was too heavy a resource for this system.

    After you install the network driver wireless Cisco (3.5.13.0) of your Web site, I am unable to get a wireless connection. In XP this comes automatically with an icon. The network device switch that I also installed did not help.

    I have the following:

    Connection to the local network - ethernet

    2 - wireless LAN connection

    Although LAKE 2 is activated this still does not pick up wireless.

    Any ideas?

    PUH Windows 2000 is an older system. I didn t forget not all parameters of WLan connection and so I googled a bit.
