Re: Can Satellite A100-499 - I use Kingston HyperX DDR2-667 RAM?

Hello.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-499 with chipset Intel 945 PM and with 1 GB of RAM at 533 Mhz (this is the memory that came by default when it was purchased). I want to upgrade the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz and I saw two Kingston hyperx 2 GB DDR2 - 667 PC2 - 5300 CL4 (KHX5300S2LLK2 / 4G).

I ' w concerned about the compatibility of this memory with my laptop. Memory that is shown in my laptop (KT667D2 / 2G) in the site web of Toshiba is also kingston and technical specifications are similar, but time lag case which I've not been able to verify. I'm looking for the forum and it seems that Toshiba laptops are very delicate with the memory.

Did someone knows or has had experience with this combination? I don't want to spend the money to have to sell it later.

Hello

Theoretically, you can also use the Kingston HyperX modules. They are very similar to the normal Kingston modules, but they are a little faster. Certain times are may be lower, but this should t be a problem because it will be set automatically from the BIOS.

A good friend of me always is the HyperX modules for its notebooks and there has never been a problem.
In the worst cases the modules don't work, that you can bring it back to the computer store and ask Kingston normal modules.

  • Satellite A100-499 - AC adapt Compatible power more than 90W?

    Hello world

    I bought a new DDR module for my Satellite A100-499 and now I have better performance but my AC adapt power is not enough.

    So I'm looking for a new AC adapt power but I'm not sure which are compatible with my netbook. Now I have a 15V 6a (90W) + PA2521E-2AC3 PA-1900-22 + and I want one at least 100 w... Could someone tell me a compatible model?

    Perhaps PA3237U-3ACA + Toshiba 120 Watt Global AC adapter? (power supply is compatible?)

    Hello

    To be honest I don't understand the reason for this question. If you upgrade the RAM, why you want or need a new AC/DC adapter?

    You can switch to the maximum capacity of RAM that is supported by your laptop model but that's why it of not necessary to use an AC/DC adapter with more power. It is * not * make your laptop faster!

  • Satellite A100-499 - function for the WiFi button does not work

    Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 499 PSAA9E.

    I formatted my laptop and installed XP with SP3. I downloaded and installed the drivers (in the right order) for this OS of the toshiba - Europe.com and everything is going well except Fn + F8. It is assumed that this combination has toggle Wifi & Bluetooth. When I switch side 'off' position and I press the keys, appears a message saying that I should switch to position 'on' but when I switch lateral position 'on' and I press Fn + F8 it does nothing.

    If I want to disable the wi - fi I have to do it with other methods: the function key does not work correctly.

    Any clue?
    Thanks for the advice (and sorry for my English).

    When the WLAN switch is on orange LED is also on?
    You can scan area available networks?
    Have you tried to use the WLAN without using FN + F8?

  • Satellite A100-635: is it possible to use the DDR2-667 RAM

    I have a portable satellite a100-635 with 1024 MB of RAM DDR2-533. Is it possible to use the DDR2-667 RAM modules instead of 533 in this model? Thank you.

    P.S. I doubt because all portable satellite I've seen so far have been equipped with 533 modules by default. Still the chipset supports officially the DDR2-667 (Intel 945GM) modules.

    Hello

    I'm not 100% sure, but as the site says that it won't work, I think you can trust them, and it does not work.
    But if you want to try it, please post the result here.

  • Re: After upgrade on Satellite A100 BIOS cannot use keyboard more

    Need help... after bios upgrade for Toshiba Satellite A100 my keyboard error... now I can't use my keyboard...
    If I used the external keyboard, as there not enough power into the USB...
    Now, how come back to start bios version...

    Thank you or any medium

    Hello

    Enter the BIOS (by pressing F2 at startup) and try to check in the Bios if compatible keyboard, legacy usb support (something like that) is enabled. It should help.
    Otherwise, playing with the up/downgrade Bios (especially, demote) instead of keyboard problem, can cause the crash of the complete system with white screen.

  • Satellite A100: How to use the IrDA port with cell phone?

    I have a laptop with an infrared port that I can use with another computer.
    Now, I have a problem with my laptop at home, A100 series.
    I downloaded Nokia PCsuite software from the Nokia site, but it can not connect to my phone.
    If I put the phone to transmit IR, always the pc does not regognice the phone anyway even if the phone is located near the infrared port of the PC.

    I updated my bios, tried to take the infrared port, used as a port standard com etc. Nothing works.
    What should I do to get the infrared port of the function and write down automatically if I bring about my mobile with IR?

    Thank you
    Petri

    Don't be angry with me because I ask, but are you sure that your laptop supports the IrDA?
    What cell phone do you have exactly? Satellite A100-xxx

    IrDA option appears in the control panel?

  • Can satellite A100-097 - I replace the cd - dvd drive

    Thank you

    Hello

    Yes, you can replace the CD/DVD drive with a new one.
    But be aware that not all of the sides are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings

    Manual of use you should find some details about compatible readers and supported
    Check it out
    If you have no user manual then go to the Toshiba European page to download.

  • Can satellite A100-847 - I replace my current HARD drive with a SATA2 HARD drive?

    Hello

    I am currently using a Satellite A100-847 with a 100 GB SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive. I plan to change with a Western Digital WD2500BEKT 250 GB SATA2 16 MB 2.5 inch laptop hard drive 7200 TRM. Is it possible to replace my current HARD drive which is SATA with a one SATA2?

    And if not what is my best option upgrade of the mine to a HARD fast (7200 RPM) disc?

    Hello!

    Yes, you can replace the current drive with a SATA2 HARD disk. You already have a SATA interface, and this means that you can use each HDD with SATA interface.

    I don't know Mr. but as far as I know the Satellite A100 cannot use the speed of SATA1. This means that the new HARD drive maybe won't work with SATA1 speed but there is no significant difference in performance.

    A HARD drive with 7200 RPM is really fast, but don t forget it produces more heat and needs more electric battery. A HARD disk at 5400 RPM is perhaps fast enough for you?

    Good bye

  • Can satellite A100 - I put the HARD drive with 7200 RPM model?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-044, I would spend my the 120 GB HARD drive to a more large (250 GB or 320 GB).

    A 7200 RPM would work on this subject? It seems Web compatibility sites they show 5400 RPM more, I would like to set up my laptop for recording/mastering so music wants a fast machine, I don't really mind if it consumes more energy...

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you
    Stone

    Hello!

    Of course, you can swap the HARD drive with a model more fast using 7200 RPM. But as you say, it takes a little more energy. The new HARD drive should be a little faster, especially access time should be lower.

    250 GB or 320 GB should be possible; you need a HARD drive with SATA interface.

    I hope I could help a bit.

    Good bye

  • Can satellite A100-785 I put vedio memory in the bios

    best account thank you

    Anas talbi

    No, you can't increase the RAM of the graphics card.
    The memory of the graphics card is still controlled by the graphics driver.
    This means that if additional memory would be necessary, while the graphics driver would add a part of the main memory to the memory of the graphics card

    The whole process runs automatically, and you cannot assign anything manually.

  • Can satellite A100-999 - I recover the HDD password?

    Hi all

    I had a virus, so I formatted my computer, a Satellite A100-999. After I did, I was going to install Windows Vista, but I never could, because they ask my HDD password and I don't know what password it is that, I don't see it anywhere. My computer has been installed in the store, I only have a bootable disc, they gave me.

    My question is: How can I recover my HDD password? Is it possible? I can boot the system in any other way?

    Thank you!

    Sara

    It of not possible recovery or removes the HARD drive password. An ASP peut t for this too.

    Sorry, but in this case, you need a new HARD drive. There's no other way.

  • Can satellite A100-003 - I install Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?

    Hello everyone,

    I have the Satellite A100-003 and I've been running it with Windows XP since I it (triple). Now I want to install Windows 7 on it, however, I'm confused about what can I install on it.

    I have a few places on the Toshiba site, I found that I can install Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit), but I can met some problems with the BIOS, in other places, I tried but could not find the drivers for Windows 7 64 bit.

    So what is the case? My first goal is to install windows 7 64 bit, because I have 4 GB of RAM on my laptop, but even the 32 bit would be a better choice than XP right now.
    So I can install Windows 7 64 bit on my laptop?

    Thanks in advance for any answer!

    Hello

    Important before installing another OS, you check the Toshiba driver download page. Satellite A100-003 belongs to the PSAARE series and is therefore not available for Windows 7 drivers. You can only get the drivers for Windows XP and Vista 32 bit.

    This means that you can try to install Windows 7 because Vista drivers most also work on Windows 7.
    If this isn't the case you find newer drivers yourself, maybe you can find something.
