Problem of expansion memory on Satellite Pro 4270

Hello

I have a Pro Satellite 4700 and two memory modules:
1 Samsung CL2 SODIMM 144 pin 128 MB PC100-222-620
2 NEC 144 pin SODIMM PC100-222-620 128 MB

Each of these modules work fine separately.
When I put the two to reach 256 of ram, the system does not boot Windows XP - simply indicates that this driver pci.sys is missing/corrupted. Repair with the XP Setup disk hangs at the end.

Is there any good advice or similar experience (I noticed that there is an upgrade of the BIOS to 4270 - that is the key)?

Kind regards
Ed

  • How to disable the database 64 MB of memory on Satellite Pro 4270?

    Hello!

    On my own SP4270 Win2000Pro install case that I came to the conclusion that the problem reside on the base 64 MB of memory on the motherboard, which had deserted somehow 1.1 MB, and so more big programs will not load and the installation procedure for Windows, as well as the entire machine will be completely stuck in about 5 to 10 seconds or at a very early stage in the process.

    But, I would like to have this made installation and in order somehow. Maybe the way is to disable the base memory and then just go with the sticks of memory on the upgrade of two memory locations.

    But, how to disable? Is the only way to throw the motherboard in the trash, or is there another way more decent to handle this, the BIOS v2.70 give any options at all for this...

    Hello

    I'm scared of m it s not possible to remove the internal memory.
    It s part of the motherboard and if this memory malfunctioned the entire Board must be replaced or repaired.
    Unfortunately, you will contact a technician for repair, or you search for second hand motherboard.
    I prefer the second way, many people offers notebooks of second hand with grand jury

  • Satellite Pro 4270 and network problems

    I just got a laptop, Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270... I installed win 98 on it and it works beautifully.

    But then I added LAN PCMCIA card in computer and wanted to do some sufring. I encountered a problem.

    In the next devices, win98 reports error handler:
    The NDIS. VXD, NTKERN. VXD or Chargers device for this device could not load the device driver. (Code 2).

    The card is 3Com Fe575C and I downloaded the latest drivers from www.3Com.com/warranty, but that did not help. I also ran regclean and reinstalled the card after that. Always the same fault. With my own laptop (win2k pro), the card works perfectly with no additional drivers, so the map itself is not defective.

    In addition, the Win98 find PCI card when starting, but I have no driver for that... Where can I get that? It does not specify which card that is...

    Hello

    I guess it is Win 98 Second Edition You are using on the 4270.
    Please go to driver download site and download the INF-update to the PC Card controller. I think this should solve your problem.

    While you are at it download the other drivers you need more.

  • Need advice on the installation of WinXP/2000 on Satellite Pro 4270

    Hello!

    (Sorry for the redundancy of this topic on this forum, too.)

    Please, any suspicion on this strange problem will be appreciated.

    I bought a used Satellite Pro 4270, with totally empty 6 GB drive, a pretty neat and apparently well kept machine...

    But, trying to make a new clean Win2000Pro installed on it, as previously successfully dozens of times on other PC machines, installation will be ending in a minute after that is to start with the 4 on setupdd.sys error!

    On WinXPPro new clean install, that the procedure will be stuck in less than 10 seconds, without any error at all...

    So, it might be the reason the cause?

    I tried several different corrective actions on this machine and guess several reasons, the cause, for example

    -the hard drive works fine on other machines and has also been fully verified and updated in shape at low altitude
    -copies of CD installation I tried several all work fine on other machines
    -the BIOS has been upgrade v2.70 just some time ago
    -the CMOS was turned off, i.e. in default some time ago
    -the machine was torn off at the minumum on audio memory, PCI, USB, etc.
    -the machine must be somehow strangely, which on the BIOS or HDD?
    -are there some 'weird' IDE or other driver disappeared on this case?
    -tests with installing Win98SE and FAT32 will not lead to a better result, just somehow different...

    Best regards

    Hello Pete

    It's a really bad situation. If you do clean install of the OS you na? t need any special drivers. Everything must be preinstalled when installing the OS is completed successfully.

    If you have a few HARD drive replacement, you should try to use it and see if the HARD drive is certainly not responsible for this. The fact is that W2000 and WXP can be installed successfully on many other old models of laptops and because of that I can't imagine that it is not possible to do the same on your device.

    Is it always that W2000 is supported for this device and you can find that page to download all the drivers of W2000 on Toshiba.

    I have more or less of work Satellite Pro 4270 (4200 Series) computer laptop with XP on it.

    The USB port does not work. I don't know why it does not work. I tried to replace the USB module on the motherboard that has not worked. I've updated the BIOS to the latest version, has not functioned. Removed and reinstalled the drivers in XP, not worked. I'm out of ideas.

    IrDA works very well.

    Some suggestions please. Thank you

    Hello!

    I understand, were you solder the module USB motherboard and then solder another module?

    I mean, what have you done with the module USB, replacing? Sorry, I don't remember exactly how the USB module is connected to my mobo SP4270 seen last about the half a year ago... If the welding, I don't wonder the problem... but if not, there may be a solution...

  • Satellite Pro 4270 LCD is slow.

    I Satellite Pro 4280 14 "and have no problem. I bought a second hand Satellite Pro 4270 13 "but the graphics on the screen appear to be slow. Tests using Direct X cube rotation is unclear. I've set up two screens mod with a CRT 17 '' monitor and two screens side by side, the CRT is icon perfect, but the 13 "laptop screen is too blurry. So I know that there is nothing wrong with the graphics card, just the screen. Is this normal for this model? or y at - it something wrong? Parameters are defined with the latest driver S3 Savage, which has not changed anything with all of the display of "display panel 1024 x 768 laptop. Using only the mode screen 800 x 600. Clues? Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Please be shure that your 4270 13 "is a demonstration of DSTN. The sharpness of a DSTN display cannot be compared with a TFT screen, which is used in the 4280.

  • Lack of Win98SE PCI/Sound driver for Satellite Pro 4270

    Hello

    I have an old Satellite Pro 4270 with Win98SE license.
    I have no driver CD and only a Win98SE installation CD. So I installed Win98SE.
    From Toshiba Web site show me a lot of drivers for Win98SE which I installed.

    But I have not found a driver for the PCI card that has a yellow "?" in the Device Manager. I do not mean the PCMCIA slots.

    I installed the driver of his Yamaha DS - XG, but I can not here any sound.

    So where can I find the PCI driver and sound driver better.

  • Satellite Pro 4270: after update BIOS CPU speed at 250 MHz

    Welcome.

    I have upgraded the BIOS to version 2.7 (downloaded on toshiba website) in Satellite Pro 4270 and after her, my bus speed decrease to 250 MHz, so now I have Celeron 250 MHz instead of 500 MHz. You have some suggestions? Where can I find the old version of the BIOS in v2.7?
    Thank you

    HI Artur,

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to download an older version of BIOS on yout laptop since the BIOS update procedure is written to test later versions pre-installed and not too write.

    You will need to take your laptop to a Service partner certified to have a previous version of the BIOS re-installed.

  • Strange problem with the module memory series Satellite Pro 4300

    I have a laptop Toshiba satellite pro 4300 series with 64 MB onboard + 64 MB Module and I want to upgrade my memory to 320 MB. I bought two ram of 128 MB each. I removed the 64 MB module and I put a 128 MB module into the slot (A) one, but I saw that the total memory is 128 MB again.

    I removed the module again and I put the second module in the connector (A), but I saw that the total memory is 128 MB again. After that, I put the two modules in my notebook (Slot A and slot B) but I see that the total memory is 192 MB. This means that it recognizes each module as 64 MB as opposed to 128 MB. Dose anyone know why this happens?
    And what do I do about it?

    Thank you.
    [email protected]

    Hello

    Well, I put t know why this happens. It seems that the 128 MB modules are 64 MB modules. I know that it of strange but I have only this explanation. You are 100% sure that both modules of memory 128 MB?
    In my opinion, you should check the bars of memory if they have 128 MB.

    Good bye

  • Battery 'empty' XP on Satellite Pro 4270

    Hi all

    Although the battery is quite new, it is displayed as 'empty' in my Satellite Pro XP 4270. When cross-checking with an another Satellite 4270 Win98 battery works well and indicated as '100% ' in the Toshiba power saver utility.

    Is there a special utility (such as electricity-saving) must be installed for XP? There is no given special driver vor 4270 / XP on the support pages of Toshiba and in view of the Act and so forth is recognized properly - except for the battery.

    Any suggestions or experiences wellcome,

    Kind regards
    Ed

    Hello

    the problem is that your machine is too old and was never shipped with XP. So if you didn t find utilities powersaver for XP on toshiba page then you won´t find anything. The machine has never taken supported for XP.
