Re: Satellite A100 - using 512 MB + 1 GB memory together?

Can I put my Satellite A100 (512 MB (PA3412U - 1 M 51) inside) with a 1 GB Module (equivalent to PA3411U-1M1G Kingston KTT533D2)?
If I want to mix just the system recognize 1 GB instead of 1.5 GB. Is it possible to use both?

Hello

First you should check if the laptop would support 2 GB of RAM.
If the chipset would support 2 GB of RAM then you can use the modules together:
a 1 GB of RAM and a 512 MB RAM module.

But note; then RAM modules should support the same specifications to ensure that there would be no error at boot.

By the way; more details on the amount of RAM is possible should be mentioned in the user manual.

    I'm looking for information how to reduce graphic memory. I have Satellite A100-692, PSAA9E-09900QGR and install 1024Mo RAM but 512 MB is dedicated to graphics memory. Because of this I have 512 MB of RAM in real-time only.

    Please help how do.

    Hello

    You described your situation, but this seems very strange.
    As far as I know, the laptop uses a 128 MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 1400 graphics card and this isn't a memory sheared graphics card!
    This card uses own 128 MB and must share main memory!

    I put t know why you suggested that you have only 512 MB.
    How did you test it?

  • Satellite A100-596 - I need to upgrade memory

    Hello

    Just got a laptop A100-596 & guard lock up on me. I think I need to upgrade the memory because it has only 512 MB.

    Question is what should I? I know that RAM DDR2 (533 MHz) but what voltage. The news of the Toshiba site do not help much, & scan critical system does not list the laptop model.

    See you soon,.

    rocksasga

    The tension is not very important.
    You can use DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules

    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=28732&ft=m&St=3

    The laptop supports FSB 533 Mhz and so there is no sense to upgrade the memory with a 667 Mhz modules.

    So take the PC2 - 4200 SODIMM 200-PIN and you're on the side course ;)

  • Memory problem while improving my Satellite A100-181

    Hi all

    I want to upgrade RAM on my Satellite A100-181, 512 MB is a bit limited...
    I ordered a 1 GB dimm noname a month before, put in it, with the 512dimm. As a result, we have only 1 GB recognized, and the laptop does not start if the 512 module is not mounted.

    I thought it was a bad memory module and ordered a kit 2 GB of crucial memory modules, which come paired and guaranteed by Crucial to be compatible with the toshiba A100-181.
    Result is the same: with 2 DIMMS inserted, the PC does not start: just turn on and off and still... With only 1 dimm, it does not start unless the 512 original module is attached to it... And once again, only 1 GB is recognized (915456Ko in the bios, but I guess that video reserved memory is not counted here)

    Is that what anyone has ever heard a problem / solution to this issue?

    Thank you very much.

    It is typical behavior when you use incompatible modules.
    Your laptop can handle with 2 GB max and compatible with 1 GB of Ram is DDR2 400/533 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G). Use this part number to order compatible module.

    You can also buy the Kingston/Order module. Kingston offers high quality products and using them you won't have these problems.

    The Modules of RAM 'Value' use many chips cheap using several banks/channels, which can cause problems of compatibility with some Chipsets/CPUS.

    I'm trying to reformat my Toshiba Satellite A100 using the disc of recovery of product supplied in the box. In the instruction booklet, he asks place me the disc in the drive of the laptop power up while holding the F12 and release the button once I see the Toshiba screen. I did this with success and went ahead and chose the option of CD/DVD startup under, after this, it says something like loading _ but once he had loaded, just restarting the laptop and starts the operating system later.

    Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    In my eyes you have nothing wrong. If you want to install from the recovery CD you can boot from them.

    There is also another way to boot from the CD.
    Try to insert the CD in the drive and start the laptop computer. Immediately after starting the laptop, then press the C key.
    This should allow booting from the CD.

    If it is not possible to boot from the recovery CD or the drive can read data from the middle of the recovery or the surface of the CD is damaged.

  • Not possible to burn a DVD on the Satellite A100-338 using Windows DVD Maker

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100. I'm trying to burn a DVD using Microsoft Windows DVD Maker and a Sony DVD - RW. The laptop has a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA device.

    When I try to burn a DVD, a progress bar appears and is about 2% before the hanging.

    I also tried to format the DVD first, and which is progressing well before coming up with an error message saying that the drive could not be formatted.

    Anyone got any ideas? Am I missing something completely obvious?

    the following things could probably help you with your problem:

    -> control if a new BIOS for your machine and a new FIRMWARE update for your DVD player are available. Update the BIOS and the player firnware
    -> use another applications burning like Nero, CDBurnerXP or other thing that is usually know work well with almost all DVD - RW readers out there
    -> use a DIFFERENT brands of DVD media because the carpet * a readers are really picky

    If all these steps fail, then it is possible that your drive is defective and must be replaced.

    Hello

    I don't know if I understand your question, but you want to connect two laptops via the WLan. Am I wrong?
    Well, this type of network connection is called Ad hoc.

    Choose Start-> settings-> network connections, and then click the local network connection you want to share. On the left side of the screen under the management of the network, click on "change settings of this connection. Under the Advanced tab, under Internet connection sharing, check the box "allow other users of the network to connect through this computer's Internet connection".
    There is also a check box to allow other users to enable or disable the Internet connection, if you are so inclined. If your network doesn? t need to access to the Internet, you can skip this paragraph.

    The host system must also be configured with an Ad Hoc network connection and a Set Service identify (SSID). Right-click on the wireless icon in the system tray and choose "view wireless networks". Do NOT yet connect to any wireless network that could appear in the box. Click the Advanced button. This will bring up the Properties window of wireless with the wireless networks tab at the front. Click the Advanced Options button at the bottom right of this tab, select the option "networks from computer to computer (ad hoc) only". Make sure that the box "Auto connects to the non preferred networks" is NOT checked. Click the close (once) button to return to the wireless network tab.
    Under preferred network, click Add. You now need a SSID for this machine, which is actually the name it will use to announce themselves to the other members of the ad hoc wireless network.

  • How to use the recovery on the Satellite A100-192 with 2 partitions CD

    I have a satellite a100-192 with 100 GB hard drive.
    When I bought it I used magic norton 8.0 partion to divide the disk into two partitions, c drive (used for files of program and other things; 20 GB) and d ' drive that I use for all my documents, music, videos and similar stuff...

    and now, because of a few bad shots, I made (the software bad... lol) I want to reinstall windows. and honestly, I have no idea how to proceed. what I mean, I don't know what cd to use (I have two CD when I bought the computer), in fact I guess that's the one with ms a note on it, but how to do it safely without losing all my data on the d drive?

    The problem is that I did a lot of relocations on desktop computers when you hava clean facilities and then I know what I'm doing, but I have no experience with bundled windows installations.

    Hello

    Usually, Toshiba laptops are supplied with a Toshiba restore CD.
    On this CD, you will find the image of Toshiba which contains all Toshiba drivers and utilities.

    The question is what CD image you received.
    Some people here in the forum suggested that, since January 2006 the Toshiba Recovery CD supports another recovery procedure. The new recovery CD does not support the ghost but the surface RECO and it s not possible to choose the partition for the installation of the OS.
    In this case the whole HARD disk will be deleted and you will lose all your partitions.

    I have only one old recovery CD and so I can't say if it is possible to choose the right partition. It was possible on the old recovery cd by selecting the expert mode.

    In my view, that should make a backup of you all important files before you begin the recovery procedure.
