Question about upgrading to the Aspire 5542-1462

I wanted to improve my Aspire 5542-1462 memory from 4 GB to 8 GB, but I was told that since my Aspire 5542-1462 has two locations of memory with cards of 2 GB each and the PC can handle 4 GB, my PC is not expandable memory to 8 GB is it true? And how can I upgrade the RAM or the HARD DRIVE if possible, thanks in advance http://www.cnet.com/laptops/acer-aspire-5542-1462/4505-3121_7-33895355.html < with="" 2="" memory="">

I'm afraid that it seems that you are correct, at least as much as I can tell from my research (fast).  The alternative is to reduce the amount of memory that uses the operating system, including the essential utilities (such as the antivirus/anti-spyware), stop programs and services running in the background that you don't need and so on.  There is a lot of information on the internet about optimizing Windows.

Good luck!

  • Satellite A60: Question about upgrade from the CD - RW drive

    I have a laptop A60 sitting with a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive. I want to upgrade to a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. I understand that I have the choice between UJDA 750 and the SD-R2512. Someone can offer a preference and I need firmware / drivers for these to work?
    Is it simply a matter of just replacing the unit?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I assume that the best idea is to have the DVD burner. In this case, there is possibility to burn CDs and DVDs all formats. I found the info A60 also comes with super-multi drive (TEAC DV-W24E) and this should be also compatible with your A60.

    For the feature, the firmware is not relevant as the compatibility of the player.

  • Satellite A40: Question about upgrade from the DVD UJ-850

    Hello

    I have a satellite A40, I recently installed a new motherboard to. Everything now works perfectly, and I plan to change the CDRW/DVD drive to a dvd burner.

    The current player is a panasonic-UJDA750. I intend to replace it with a UJ-850 for the dvd burner. Could someone please advise whether it is a good drive to go to any other suggestion and if I need different drivers for the drive to work or is it just a straight swap out.

    See you soon,.

    Hello

    Before you buy a slim drive you must be sure that this drive is compatible with the Satellite A40.
    There is a big difference between external drives for desktop PCs and laptops.
    The master/slave/c-salt settings on slim drives are fixed and cannot be changed.

    If you buy a slim with wrong settings drive, the BIOS does not recognize the drive and you'll get an error IDE #1.

    I recommend that you contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask guys for compatible DVD burner for you A40.

    As a reader of DVD-R/RW compatible, you can use the Toshiba SD-R6112 or drive Pioneer G8CC0001L810 drive.
    I also found some readers of DVD-Multi (CD-R/RW DVD-RAM/R/RW) compatible:
    Panasonic G8CC00019810
    TEAC G8CC00013810

    Sorry for the strange number, but I guess these are the numbers of Toshiba.
    Try google. You may find a full name.

  • Satellite Pro 4600: Question about upgrade RAM, CPU, motherboard

    Hello

    I have a SP4600 and because I love this machine, I want to give him the chance to stay with me - but unfortunately, it will only work by increasing its performance...

    Is anyone here has made some experiences in upgrading a SP4600 more than 512 MB of RAM?
    I know that this machine uses PC100 SD - RAM that is available up to 256 MB.
    But someone has tried successfully to put in PC133 memory? And if so, to were the limit?

    And more: what about the upgrade of the rest, for example, the CPU or the whole motherboard?
    Currently, his heart beats with 700 Mhz (Celeron). Would it be as easy as just another graft?
    Or would it be easier to exchange the whole motherboard?
    I've never done anything like this before and I'm not sure how the rest of the system can react on these interventions, in particular because the we-board-video and sound on board...

    I would be delighted if someone could give me some positive feedback on these issues...

    Hello

    You can only use the memory 100 Mhz modules because the FSB is limited to 100 MHz.
    If you use 133 Mhz modules, they will work only at 100 Mhz.

    You can upgrade the satellite Pro 4600 until 512 MB (2x256MB)
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=28447&ft=m&St=3

    Other devices such as the CPU or GPU are not extensible and the motherboard may be replaced only with the same motherboard

  • Satellite A350D - 20K - Question about upgrade second HDD + Temperature

    I have a question about my laptop. I have notticed it is a second location of HARD disk on the bottom.
    Is it possible to use this to increase my storage?
    And if yes, how do I do that? I don't see all the connectors.
    What type of HARD drive to use in case it is possible to use this slot machine?

    My second question is on my laptop to be very hot after a short period of use.
    I installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees.
    He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

    This does not seem normal to me. I tried to clean the vents with compressed air, but it has not made a difference.
    I searched on the internet how to take the laptop part for proparly cleaned TI.
    But I can't so I'm looking that destroy it.

    This could be the cause and more importantly, how can I solve this problem?

    The second HARD drive bay contains the HARD drive connectors?
    If Yes, then you can use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
    If there are no connectors, then you will not be able to use the second HARD drive

    CPU and GPU produce a lot of heat. The heat dissipation is always created then there s nothing unusual that the temperature rose to higher level.
    You can change the settings in Win 7 power management. You can set the CPU to lower performance and can increase the activity of fan, which will help lower the temperature.

  • where to post a question about iTunes on the iPhone?

    I have a question about a problem with iTunes on the iPhone (iOS), but I do not see a 'Community' with this title (or anything close;  I have no idea what "iTunes U" means).

    For lack of a better idea, I just posted to the community "iTunes for Mac", but I don't think that's true.

    Please let me know where I should post to an iTunes on iPhone issue.  Thank you.

    It should probably be posted in the community Using iPhone Apple Support communities. I'll ask a host spend your question in iTunes for Mac, if it has not already been moved.

    EDIT: Just read your message, and I think it's probably better where it is (because you need help syncing your songs via iTunes on your Mac). He should be fine here, but if the moderators believe that he should be somewhere else, they will move for you.

  • Question about graphics on the Satellite A200-1VO card memory

    How do you assign more memory to the graphics card on laptop Satellite A200-1V0?
    Thank you

    Hello

    in your case it s not possible to change the size of graphics by yourself, memory as graphics memory in your machine is shared with main memory, so if you upgrade main memory and graphics memory should increase. But this question is governed by the chipset and the user has no influence on it.

    Hello, I bought this laptop on a year by year and a half ago, it is a celeron M with 256 MB of RAM.
    Now its bad to do the most basic things like start up without hoggin the system, running from web pages and even small arcade games or simply check your e-mail becomes a chore.
    I'm goin to this level with a 1 GB RAM stick but is there anything else that can be done about it for £400 for this?

    see you soon

    Mark

    Hello

    The upgrade of the laptop is usually that you cannot update parts like the CPU or GPU
    But you could upgrade RAM or HARD disk

    A Satellite L100 RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB.
    In housing, you can use 2 GB DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM module.

    But in my opinion the 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) are more than enough.

    In your case, the update of RAM is really advisable because the 265MB RAM don t offer better performance. It s all just too low

  • Satellite A100-334: Question about upgrading from XP to Vista

    I need help to upgrade my A100-334 to vista!
    I use the disks provided by toshiba. It is said that the new Bios is already installed (vers.5.60).

    After running the second drive it says I need to uninstall Driver driver/BD DVD-RAM and Toshiba configfree.

    Then he said that the following issues will not prevent the upgrade of the execution but that some applications or elements may not work properly. The list is long.

    Here are some examples:
    Diagnostic tool for TOSHIBA, Sun Java Scheduler, TOSHIBA controls, Bluetooth TOSHIBA Power saver settings and so on.

    It is recommended to uninstall all of these objects?
    What can I do?

    I appreciate any help thanks - Detlef

    Hi Detlef

    Well, what to say if I understand your question you didn t make a new, clean install Vista, but you tried to upgrade the full XP to Vista.

    I don't wonder that this doesn't update good conduct and that you get notifications on the tools and driver compatibility issues.

    The fact is that many drivers, tools and utilities that are designed for the operating system XP don t run on the Vista operating system. That is why it s necessary and desirable to remove any programs that are not compatible with Vista!

    In my opinion, you must perform a clean installation of Vista, and then you can download and install all the drivers Toshiba Vista required and utilities.

    Best regards and greetings to Germany ;)

  • Satellite A200-1CR: Question about upgrade HARD drive

    Hi all...
    I would like to ask something...

    I have toshiba Satellite A200-1cr with 120 GB HARD drive...

    I would like to change my HARD drive. I found a disk hard 2.5 "with 250 GB.

    My questions are the following:

    (1) my knowledge of the workstations are very very good. Is it easy to change myself?
    I guess it is, but I want to be sure... I guess that is on IDE, right? No SATA at all?

    (2) if I changed it I lose my warranty?

    (3) can I give my laptop Toshiba in Greece official store and let them make the change?
    May I take in an informal shop, too?

    (4) can be put on the laptop 2 x 250 GB such US new computers laptops from toshiba?
    Is there enough space in the laptop for such a change?

    Thank you in advance...

    Hey Buddy

    It is good that ask you the question.

    (1) the Satellite A200-1CR supports SATA and no IDE interface and that's why you need a SATA HDD. It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and as far as I know, you should find a few details in the user manual. There is a useful statement and photos that explain the entire procedure.

    (2) hm AFAIK the drive replacement HARD will not void the warranty, and has no effect on the State of security.

    (3) you can also contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for a HARD drive replacement, but in my opinion that is not really necessary because the replacement is not very sensitive. As I said above, check the user manual.

    (4) I don t think that your laptop will support 2 x 250 GB HARD drive.
    Of course, there are a few other series laptops which are abele to support two hard drives but I n t think that your laptop A200 support.

    Just a small comment on the new HARD drive:
    The fact is that some more HARD drive are not supported by the BIOS. I mean an upgrade to 120 GB to 250 GB drive HARD is really a leap one possibly your BIOS would not recognize the HARD drive correctly.
    So I recommend to test the HDD first before buying.

    Good bye

  • Question about upgrading CPU for Satellite A30 104?

    Hello

    My Satellite A30 104 recently came at the end of its warranty and had to open the heatsink for cleaning, and seeing that the CPU was available, I wonder if there should be (likely) to upgrade.

    The processor is a Celeron 2.6 GHz (Northwood). I'm no more grunt, I would prefer a more low-power chip, while the cache L2 much bigger of a Pentium 4 is also desirable. I would be very grateful if someone could give advice if upgrades are likely available, and if so the chips would be appropriate? If I can give any more useful technical information, please ask.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Usually it s not advisable to upgrade the CPU on laptops, because no one can tell if the laptop runs correctly and stable after the upgrade.
    The heat and the temperature inside the laptop could be a serious problem.

    In any case, I think that the laptop supports an Intel 852GME chipset.
    http://www.Intel.com/products/chipsets/852GME/index.htm

    The Intel 852GME chipset is optimized for the Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor, has a main bus at 533 MHz and up to 2 GB memory DDR 266/333/200 at high speed.

    But I'm not sure about m making it s 479 or 478

  • Question about ActionBar on the first screen of the application

    index.htm pushes immediately main.htm with actionbar. ActionBar clicks and responds correctly until I have add overflow on some buttons.

    When I click on the button of overflow, the overflow is displayed at the bottom of the page, the top of the overflow is put in correspondence with the upper part of the actionbar so buttons actionbar overflowing content is not visible.

  • a question about upgrading memory CF for Cisco 3745

    As we know, the cisco 3745 has 2 locations CF. memory One is internal with a 32 MB of memory by default CF card, another one is external.

    My question is:

    1 is the same as the internal memory card CF CF external memory card?

    2. If I choose the upgrade of the plant CF memory from 32 MB to 128 MB, which slot will be used? Cisco remove the memory of 32MB CF card and install a new 128 MB card in the internal slot or simply add an additional CF memory card through the outside slot?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    the reference for the internal and external numbers are different, which suggests that they are not compatible. So you will have to specify what you want to, for example, MEM3725-32U128CF (which is the internal upgrade) or MEM3725-128CF-EXT (which is the external upgrade).

    In all cases, internal and external cards are not cumulative, in order to get e.g. 128 MB flash, you must either internal, or external card with these 128 MB:

    Q. can partition you the internal Cisco 3700 Series Compact Flash card and the card Compact Flash external to combine or separate them?

    A. No, you cannot join two separate Compact Flash cards or you can their partition.

  • Question about to browse the lines of a viewobject

    I want to iterate over the lines of a viewobject. So, I use the following code snippet to do:

            String amDef = "model.service.TestAM";
            String config = "TestAMLocal";
            ApplicationModule am = Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(amDef, config);
            ViewObject vo = am.findViewObject("EmployeesView1");
            RowSetIterator iterator = vo.createRowSetIterator(null);
            iterator.reset();
     while(iterator.hasNext())
            {
                Row currentRow = iterator.next();
      System.out.println("Value: " + currentRow.getAttribute(1));
            }        
            
     iterator.closeRowSetIterator();
     Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule(am, true);
    

    Now, I had a question about this code snippet. He get all records from the table of data to the model layer, that is, to the application server? If so, what part of the code for this? vo.createRowSetIterator maybe?

    Your example of code appears that I wasn't there. The default iterator and one that you get by vo.createRowSetIterator are different.

    And do not forget to close the iterator, you created as you lose in other resources.
