• Question about upgrading memory on the Satellite L20-181

  Hello

  The recommended minimum is memory for Windwows XP 256 MB and I don't understand how the company could get far notebook sale with integrated graphics with 256 MB shared system memory.

  In any case, I want to improve my Toshiba and my intention is to buy 512 MB more memory, such as http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=20049&ft=m&st=3

  Will it work properly with 768 MB or I will only buy the same pair: 256 + 256, 512 + 512?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  First of all, you are not right. Windows XP also works with the low value of the memory.
  But of course it depends on memory so the OS applications will run more rapid or slower.

  However, the fact is that you can upgrade the memory on your laptop and it doesn't mater if the modules have the same value of memory or not.
  In this case, the laptop came with 256 MB and you can install detox the second module of 512 MB memory.

  PS: I recommend installing the 512 MB in the first slot and the 256 MB in the second Bank.

• Question about upgrading memory on the Satellite A210-127

  I upgraded my memory form 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) with two modules of memory Kingston KVR667D2S5 / 2G (PC2-5300 CL5).
  For two weeks, he had no problems, but then I got the blue screen every time when the system starts making reference to I guss memory error.
  I tried to replace the memory with original Toshiba but still blue screen modules. I conctacted service and they say that
  It may be the incompatibility of memory, virus or malfunction of the hard drive.
  After a few days of work on the solution I reinstal my laptop Toshiba DVD and replace the original brief. Now everything works fine.

  I wonder is Kingston memory cause of my problem or somethig else?
  Nobody knows is memory Kingston KVR667D2S5 / 2G 2 Gb compatibile with Toshiba?

  Hello

  Honestly, the Kingston offers products of high quality and, I think, you are the first person who complains of Rams from Kingston.
  If you visit the page Web of Kingston you can find a list of compatible RAM. Your module is listed here?

  I see that the Satellite Z930 is supported for windows 10 Toshiba upgrades list, but no sign of Z830. I have a Z830-10U and trying to decide whetehr to resume the free update to windows 10 before it runs out in July 2016. Someone has done it successfully?

  Although no rating by Toshiba, I just successfully upgraded my Z830 win 10 and everything seems to work. When win 10 was originally released my first attempt failed (blue screen and his motor boat) so I had to reinstall Win 8.

  Before this second successful attempt, I checked with Toshiba to make sure the motherboard is compatible, downloaded "Driver of Talent" and drivers up-to-date and changed the power settings continuously to ensure no stops during installation...

  All of it worked and now I WIN 10 work on my Z830. At this point I'm not sure works of Bluetooth which stopped when I upgraded from Win 7 to 8 Win.

• 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

• Four questions about how to change the Satellite L650 - 1 M 0

  Hello

  The laptop Toshiba L650 - 1 M 0 is possible to add the Bluetooth?
  Currently, I don't have a WiFi card.

  I have a second question:
  The laptop Toshiba L650 - 1 M 0 is possible to replace the ports USB 2.0 to 3.0?

  And the third question:
  The laptop Toshiba L650 - 1 M 0 is possible to replace the matrix with a resolution of 1366 x 768 full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution?

  Most recent:
  The laptop Toshiba L650 - 1 M 0 is possible to replace the processor and graphics card?

  These questions are for the future. I mention these parts when you are already old and weak.

  Sorry for my bad English, but I used the Google Translator because I do not know how the English language. I only know the Polish ;)

  Please write without mistakes, because the Google translator will be able to translate for me.

  > Is that the laptop Toshiba L650 - 1 M 0 is possible to add the Bluetooth?

  I think it would be possible to upgrade with the combo Wifi/BT card.
  But I haven't found any info what WLan/BT cards combo would be compatible 100%.
  You should test

  > Laptop Toshiba L650 - 1 M 0 is possible to replace the ports USB 2.0 to 3.0?
  No, the USB ports are part of the motherboard.

  > Is that the laptop Toshiba L650 - 1 M 0 is possible to replace the matrix with a resolution of 1366 x 768 full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution?

  I guess it would be possible, but we must find a 15.6 screen that supports such a resolution.

  > Laptop Toshiba L650 - 1 M 0 is possible to replace the graphics card and processor?

  GPU is not extensible.
  In some cases its possible to upgrade the processor, but you will need to check which processors are supported by Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset
  But even if the chipset would be favourable to a new processor, there would be still pending regarding BIOS support.
  However, this upgrade took isn t supported by any laptop manufacturer, and I guess that its your own risk by doing this.

• Question about upgrading to Vista on Satellite P15

  Hello

  I think the move to Vista, but some things are confusing me. I have a Satellite P15 with an OEM XP Home installed package. Am I good to buy another DVD of Vista OEM use to level or that will cause some kind of conflict with the etc. hidden restore partition.

  I understand it to be if I chose to upgrade and want to completely install Vista from new I have to reformat my hard drive? It's a tough call. Is it possible to simply upgrade to Vista, but keep everything I already installed at all? I have tons of useful stuff and tons of waste which I'm also not lose and don't spend hours, it backs up all fancy, all as I don't want to have dual-boot to be honest. It's Vista or XP, not both for me.

  Any ideas?

  I guess my biggest concern is another package to OEM OEM compatibility and whether the P15 him will at all.

  See you soon!

  Hello

  As prior use has already proposed, you must create a second partition on your HARD drive and install Vista as OS second on the created part.
  This should be a better way to use this operating system with Windows XP.

  I installed the Vista in the same way. First of all, I created the partition Magic 8 partition and then installed the Vista operating system.
  and I must say; He works ;)

• Question about upgrading drivers Nvidia on Satellite Pro X 200

  Can I update the drivers from nvidia 8700 for my 8700 pro satellite drivers for vista from nvidia home page,.
  or do I have to use the toshiba page.

  The reason I ask, is because I had a laptop computer manufacturers one another, and when I updated my nvidia drivers from the nvidia homepage,.
  Spoolsv.exe has started using all my cpu, and the reason was that this driver has not been supported by this manufacturer

  Shouldn´t you use the original Nvidia drivers since they are not changed for mobile platforms. If you install drivers from there, your computer will run much hotter then now and it won´t work correctly because the programming of schedules for the GPU and RAM are not correct.

  You will need to go here:

  but please: read the FAQ first before you do ANYTHING! :) I recommend you to do this because we can made a lot of mistakes. ;)

• Question about upgrading RAM for a Satellite A110-133

  The following ram would work on the laptop mentioned above?

  Kingston KVR533D2S4 / 2 G 2048 mb so-dimm, 200 pin

  Thank you.
  Any input would be appreciated

  Hello

  This page might be useful for you:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=24868&ft=m&St=3

  You need DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM barrettes.

  But I doubt that the Kingston KVR533D2S4 / 2G 2048 mb would be fine because the A110 can be upgraded up to 2 GB, and in this case, you can only use 2 x 1 GB RAM modules

• Question about upgrading Ram on a Satellite Pro A200

  I want to buy an internal memory of my A200 Satellite Pro Mod no, PSAE1E, but I can't find my model in the drop-down lists, what memory do I need, I want to switch using two sticks of 1 GB memory, at the present time, I have two sticks of 512 MB installed.

  Hello

  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.

  See you soon

• Satellite M40X 184: is my HDD ok?

  Hello I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X 184

  When no program is running my hard drive works from time to time make boring of the loud noise from time to time its not but I am curious to know is - this normal?
  could someone tell me

  Hi Tom,

  If you are running Windows XP, then it's quite normal that your hard drive show activity from time to time. You will have several active processes running that will periodically access the hard disk.

  You can also have background tasks that will periodically throw in life and cause a disk access activity.

  Kind regards

• Satellite M40X-184 road's DVD/CD-RW cannot read CD

  I have a three month old by Satellite M40X-184 with Mat * one UJDA760 DVD/CD-RW drive. These days the optical drive cannot read any kind of CD. But it can read the DVD. Is someone can you please tell me what is wrong with him? Is the drive broken? Need to replace DVD/CD-RW with a new drive? Thank you.

  Hello

  It is possible that your drive is broken.
  These problems usually occur because the lens of the player is unable to calibrate correctly.
  Well, your laptop is not very old the guarantee must be valid. In this case, I recommend to ask the service partner to help him. The guarantee must cover all replacements.

  Good bye
