Re: Satellite A200 - 1 K 7 - does not start with 4 GB of RAM

Hello

I'm moving to 4 GB of RAM. According to the manual of my Satellite A200 1 k 7 supports up to 4 GB of ram.

However, if I put two 2 GB modules the computer turns. Either one of the 2 GB on its own modules works fine, but both together won't work.

The power led lights up, the hard drive whirs and then shuts. Nothing happens, not even a BIOS screen.
My BIOS is updated. I'm using windows Vista 32-bit.
The memory modules I use are the two SO-DIMM DDR2 PC2-5300 667 Mhz.

Help, please!

I don't know Mr. but as far as I know the Satellite A200 - 1 K 7 has an Intel 943GML chipset that supports 2 GB max.
So you should check which chipset you have. For this, you can use PC Wizard 2008 (http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php).

If you have a different chipset, I think that the modules are not compatible and if you need other modules.

  • Satellite A200-1 body weight does not start

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-1BW model that frooze all to use and would not start again.
    I have checked all the power drive options very well.

    I have the blue AC power led on and the orange light but pc does nothing. I tried to power up without battery with AC, but always the same question.
    No fans don't come on etheir. PC won't in the start-up phase, and nothing appears on the screen that is constantly empty.

    I don't get the HDD 200 GB startng so I swapped it for a work of identical spare but the pc still does not start.

    My only conclusions are that I have a dead motherboard or a power problem internal.

    Its the real frist problem I've had with this laptop so am just checking to see if anyone out there has had the same problem or knows all the patches, I have not tried.

    Yes, that sounds like a serious hardware failure.
    Looks like the motherboard, GPU, or another party on the mobo may be defective.

    What about RAM modules? Did you check both?
    Please do

    Otherwise if there s no RAM issues then you will need a professional technician help.
    At the moment I put t see any other solution you :(

  • Satellite C660-108 does not start with 8 GB of RAM

    With 8 GB installed, the laptop does not start, but he will start with 6 GB installed.
    Modules 4 GB 6 GB configuration and wood East of 1.8.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    According to the manual, this laptop can be upgraded up to 8 GB of RAM.

    Then you should be able to use the 2 x 4 GB RAM modules

    I think that both modules are not compatible with each other and therefore cannot boot up the laptop.

    You should test the laptop with the help of other modules.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - does not start with 4 GB of RAM

    I installed 2 x 2 GB, but it seems that it does not work. The funniest is that when current to run just a bunch of memory (2 GB so) it works, when you run both, it does not work and it freezes. This is the Samsung 2 GB 2Rx8 PC2 - 6400 s - 666 - 12 - E3

    I ask this question because some A200 models were equipped with chipsets 943GML and these models support 2 GB only!

  • Satellite A660 - 11 M: does not start with 8 GB of RAM, but works with 6 GB

    Satellite A660 - 11 M:

    I upgraded my RAM to 4 GB (2x2gb) up to 8 GB (2x4gb). When I start the computer I can see in the BIOS it reads 8 GB of RAM. However, when starting, it does not go beyond the white screen BACK (just before Windows starts).

    If I delete one of the 4 GB & replace it with a 2 GB (so I have 6 GB total) it starts ok.

    Anyone know how I can get it to work with 8 GB of RAM?

    Hey,.

    To be honest, I've never heard of RAM SanMax modules...
    In my opinion the problem is related to your RAM modules is not compatible to your laptop or defective.

    You can test it with high-quality Kingston or prétestées authorized service modules?

  • Satellite A200 PSAF6A - Vista now does not start

    A200 PSAF6A - 02C01N Vista built-in HARD drive recovery

    My friend used this PC and she just closes without warning.
    Vista won't start now... Turn it on and it starts to load then apparently hangs on a blank black screen just before the Welcome screen.

    I tried to use Linux to access the drive to get its stuff out before you reinstall, but several different versions of Linux can not install Windows.

    I tried the system recovery running now the 0 key during startup, then releasing 0 when the pc started to beep.
    Starts the recovery of loading, then the screen goes blank for a while, then rises... error... F3-F000-0001 error code... Press ok to reboot.
    Press ok, error message will... screen is blank... drive hard HDD light shows work... but it is not closed.

    Tried to launch a drive to reformat Vista. Boots in the disk, loads the files then crashes, just like the original problem, on a white screen.

    Tried the XP disk running... works well until it gets to the part where you choose where you want to install... and said... cannot install on this pc it is no hard drive!

    Tried formatting disk with Gnome Partition Editor... It hangs in the review of the disc.

    I think the next thing to try is to throw the thing out of a tall building and see if it can fly...

    Anyone got any ideas?

  • Satellite A200 PSAF3A does not start with 4 GB

  • Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
    After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
    even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

    I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
    If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
    Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
    Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
    I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
    just in case, but it makes no difference.

    BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
    printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

    Is this a known issue?
    There is no known workaround solution?

    Hello

    I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
    The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
    The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

    RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.

  • Tecra A6 does not start with battery only

    Hi all
    I'm having a strange problem with a Tecra A6 I picked up recently at the refurb because it does not start with a battery only: it starts only when / sector is also connected, but eventually DΘmarrer on battery alone (and works fine) with the power cord removed shortly after pressing the power button. It's just on battery alone, I get no answer by pressing the power on button (so the power outlet must be set at this first stage or I don't get anything).

    Now I'm wondering if maybe it's the battery voltage? It seems that there are 2 options for this model, a 10.8 v and the other at 11.1V. With loaded Windows and Hardware Monitor reports running the battery is at 0% wear level and cool until completely (so I don't think that the battery is faulty), but it indicates that the battery is running at * 11, 1V, * but the battery installed is actually the * model 10.8v*. Could that prevent any power on only to batteries?

    More information on the model I have:
    Tecra A6-PTA60E-0EJ013EN
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0 Ghz
    2 GB of Ram.

    Thanks in advance for any help on this one. Essential, I would like to know is if I have a 11.1V battery to run this model correctly (and get it) on battery alone. If the voltage makes no difference so I guess it must be a weird motherboard problem and I need bother not buy a new battery.

    > Will have to buy another battery and see if the same thing happens (I'll know then if it is the motherboard), but in the meantime if anyone can let me know if the voltage is serious I would appreciate it.

    To my knowledge, the batteries for Tecra A6 should take in charge 10.8V
    There's piles more strong for example 5200mAh but the voltage must be the same 10.8
