Problem upgrading RAM on old Satellite 4600

Hi guys

I wonder if anyone can help me? I have an old Satellite 4600 (not sure what series that is!). It has 128 MB of RAM. I added an another 128 MB of RAM, but it records still only 128 meg. I spent the round modules, always only 128 MEG. I tried even to each module right in the slot A, and then just to location B. Whenever he recorded 128 Meg, so I know that the two slots are working and two modules work, but it will not record together as 256!

I checked in the BIOS and only 128 in there too. Help, please
Thank you
Dave

Hello

We start with some basic on this old book info.

To check first please bottom side of your laptop and let us know if you have satellite or Satellite Pro. At your old laptop part number that starts with PS460E?

In any case this model can be improved up to 512 MB
The compatible RAM modules are:
PA3003U - 1 M 03 32MB MEMORY KIT
PA3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB MEMORY KIT
PA3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB MEMORY KIT
KIT MEMORY OF 256 MB PA3069U - 1 M 25

Have you used compatible RAM PA3005U - 1 M 12 for upgrade?

    OK atm I have 512 MB in my netbook and I want to upgrade to 1 GB
    now, I have already 512 MB in the nebook and I had another
    but when I insert the other 512 MB
    the only thing I get is a black screen

    Hello

    The laptop supports 1 GB RAM max.
    This means that you can use 2 x 512 MB max modules. Module of 512 MB in each slot.

    I guess 1 GB of RAM is not supported and therefore you cannot start the device correctly!

    Go back to 2 x 512 MB

  • Upgrading RAM on toshiba satellite pro l650

    I have 2 toshiba satellite pro l650. first of all an i did a RAM upgrade 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHz Kingston) 1 year ago and work. Now, I would like to upgrade to the other laptop. I bought 'Impact HyperX HX316LS9IBK2/8 2 x 4 GB 1600 MHz CL9 SODIMM 1.35v DDR3L' but do not work! I thought that they were defective and I branch "QUMOX 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) 204 pins DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM" but also these don't work on my toshiba! Why not work? What can I do?

    I presume that there is compatibility problem. Best thing you can do is to use two identical RAM modules.
    Can you please put name of full model of your laptop so that we can check what RAM modules are 100% compatible.

  • Problems with RAM and my Satellite Pro P100-240

    Hi all, I hope you can help me somehow.

    Recently, I decided to go on my RAM upgrade before I headed offshore at the University then everything would be smoother. I had originally the 2x512mb RAM sticks if wanted to go for the best, what I discovered this laptop would be 2 x 2 GB sticks.

    I recently bought these sticks of 2 x 2 GB RAM PC World, where they also checked to see if the supported laptop 4 GB, which I was told that this was the case.

    However, when I got home I installed two strips of new RAM but my laptop will not initialize properly.
    Everything looks like it was started and the lights turn on but the screen stays black and nothing happens.

    I don't understand what is happening, the RAM sticks are not defective, because they both work individually.

    Edit: Ive tried swapping them round in all possible combinations and they don't always work together. So currently I use key 1 to 2 GB of RAM and my old 512 MB one with her.

    What can I try?

    Hello

    I put t know what s wrong with both modules of memory.
    It seems that the two modules may not run correctly together. It is possible, I had some similar problems in the past 8 years since I m a laptop owner.

    My only recommendation is to replace the memory modules and try another.

    Is that laptop supports 4 GB of RAM and it should be possible to upgrade.
    But note; Windows 32 bit OS sees only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32-bit operating system.

  • Upgrading RAM on the Satellite 1400-253 s

    Hi all

    I have problems with some memory I bought for the computer above. Memory is purchased from Crucial, it's a 512 MB PC133 144pin sodimm (CT64M64S4W75.16FDY) stick
    The problem I have is when I install it I get 3 beeps error (looks like 1 LNG 2 sheets), I tried to install it in different locations, by itself and with the old 128 MB memory stick, but I always impossible he can begin. I know that I have the right type of memory, but still this 'thing' will beep at me... What did I do wrong?

    BTW, laptop working again if I am in the old 2 x 128 MB sticks

    Of course, you bought not compatible RAM modules. I recommend to buy tested and recommended products manufacturer.

    You have two options to do this. Initially, you can use the RAM memory modules recommended by Toshiba 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51) PC133 and PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25) or you can order high-quality Kingston modules.

    Please visit http://www.kingston.com/products/default.asp and you will find the memory Configurator. This will help you find links to compatible memory for your laptop satellite.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Upgrading RAM on the Satellite L30 - 11 d

    My brother has a Satellite L30 - 11 d and he bought an extra 2 GB upgrade from 512 MB RAM.
    HE sent me an email - excerpt below, but does not have regular access to the Internet and so not the time of this post.

    My laptop has 512 MB of ram and Toshiba etc. told me that it could be upgraded to 2 GB. I got 2 x 1 GB cards installed.
    The problem is that if I remove the 512 MB card, the laptop does not see the Go cards at all, so I put the card 512 back in and it was OK, so I put a 1 GB card in and it worked OK, thinking it might be a loser card I have triedthe other cards plus the works of 512 and this.

    Also, if I put one of the GB cards on their own that work.
    According to Toshiba, the computer can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM - so what I am doing wrong.

    Any ideas would be appreciated. »

    Hello

    I googled and found this page of specification of Satellite L30 - 11 d:
    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 128130

    According to this page, the satellite L30 - 11 d can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB)
    You must use the RAM (533 MHz) DDR2 200pin modules.

    I think that the laptop doesn't recognize the 2 GB of RAM due to compatibility issues you should try the modules of RAM from another manufacturer. Maybe Kingston would be ok.

  • Upgrading RAM on the Satellite X 200

    I have a Satellite x 200-15 k. Since a few days I have installed RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB.

    Hi mate,

    I think that the problem might be in the configuration of the shared memory of the chipset, because the system takes 1 GB shared memory.
    Unfortunately you have no influence since the chipset is automatically assign memory depending on how you install.

    This is no design flaw rather it s (unfortunately) a decision to Intel/Nvidia.

    In this case won´t you have a bit of luck but since Don t work you with CAD applications (which I suppose :)) or similar applications of "memory-hungry" won´t recognize you any show change if it would be different (if you have 4 GB available and not 3Gig))

  • Want to upgrade RAM HDD & on Satellite P10 - 304

    Help, please

    I have a Satellite P10-304. There is only a tiny 256 RAM and 30 GB hard drive.
    Can I put both?

    I was looking to upgrade to 2 GB ram at least and 120 to 160 GB of hard drive.
    Looked at the pc world, I know not which is compatible with mine.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Of course you can upgrade this P10.

    The RAM can be upgraded up to 2 GB and you use PC2100 DDR - RAM modules.

    I think that the laptop supports the HDD IDE ATA-5 and in my opinion, you would be able to update with 100 GB or 120 GB HDD

  • Upgrading RAM in the Satellite A200-1WR

    Hello!

    My laptop is a Satellite A200-1WR, code PSAE3E-05J01CCE, including 2.048 (1,024 + 1,024) MB RAM memory.
    I wonder if it is possible to upgrade to 4 GB memory
    In the specifications, it is said that the maximum expansion is 2 GB.

    However, I don't know if 2 GB is the maximum expansion for each slot, it is possible to have two modules of 2 GB each, or the motherboard was held 2 GB total.

    Thanks in advance

    Unfortunately, this model of laptop can handle with 2 GB of RAM only.
    Sorry, but move to 4 GB is not possible.

  • Upgrading RAM on the Satellite 2450 S203

    Recently upgraded from 2 x 256 to 2 x 512 MB memory RAM. Put new memory in the laptop could not start. Replaced by the original memory still fails to start.

    All solutions?

    Hello

    Try switching the modules in the memory locations. Sometimes, this might help.
    If possible, try to access the BIOS and to set default settings.

    But if the laptop will not start in the original and compatible memory modules, then you damage something during the memory upgrade procedure.

    Just for info:
    Is that you must use the PC2700 200 pin SODIMM (333 Mhz) DDR modules. These modules are compatible

  • Question about upgrading Ram on a Satellite A200

    Hi friends,

    I have a Satellite A200-13O with 120 GB HDD, 1.8 GHz Intel Centrino Duo, 1 GB of ram, but there 2 512 chips installed.

    If I upgrad 2 1 GB ram is it possible to improve performance...?

    and what happens if I switch to 2 GB dual channel...?

    It has Windows Vista Ultimate...!

    Thank you
    Nagal

    Do you mean that you would use a single module of ram of 1 GB?

    Well, you would still have 1 GB of RAM, but the dual channel cannot be used due to lack of second module.
    So, if you can, try to use exactly the same 2 modules for best performance of the memory.

    The laptop supports two memory locations so you can't do anything wrong insert 2 modules in slots 2 to run dual channel modules

  • Upgrade RAM & HDD on Satellite L30-115

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba L30 - 115 and I want to update the default value to 1 GB / 2 GB of RAM and 160GB / 250GB hard drive is it possible and if so can you provide me with the item number of the modules and the capacity of each. I would like to know if the system would support any upgrade, as I wish?

    Hello

    Response to upgrade of RAM is very easy. This Satellite phone can handle with 2 GB RAM max and compatible DDR2 400/533 1 GB memory module except the number PA3411U-1M1G. You can use two modules of 1 GB and maximally improve.

    On HARD drive, upgrade is not easy to provide accurate information because I know that Toshiba s specification states that the HARD drive can be upgraded up to 80 GB. Unfortunately I didn't find any public documents on the exact list of compatible drives but I think you can improve it with 120 GB of HARD drive.

    Boyfriend sorry but I didn't find more information. Perhaps someone with L30 will post here on the upgrade of the HARD drive.

    Compatible modules are: * DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM *.

    As far as I know all the A200 series laptops can evolve until * 2 GB *.

    This means that a memory would support module of RAM 1 GB max.

    As the previous user have already said, the Kingston modules are not bad.

    I also use it in my book and so far, the modules are ok.
