Re: upgrade Satellite A100-232 memory

I want to be as sure as I can be, I already bought memory from Crucial - it does not work... so I want to be sure that I understand the next time.

Satellite A100-232, currently has 512 MB - I believe that I can go up to 2 GB and understand that 2 x 1 GB is better than 1 x 2 GB - is this true?

Next - WHO? memory - based on a search on their site, I bought 2 x 1 GB sticks of Crucial, they advised DDR2 PC2 5300 and it did not work. Despite repeated emails, they insist that these sticks are the 'replacement' for DDR2 PC2 4200 (who is now strongly indicated to me according to my recent research such as correct memory - part # PA3411U-1M1G).

If I buy now 2 x 1 GB - DDR2 PC2 4200 (from a different supplier of course) will I do the right thing? Assuming that the new work of memory, I get in touch with Crucial for money (of course).

You can upgrade the RAM to 2 GB and generally, you must use 2 x 1 GB RAM 533 Mhz.
In my case, a big module was not recognized. I had to use 2 x 1 GB of RAM, but I put t have this template.

I recommend using brand modules; Kingston is good and provides good quality modules.
Different manufacturers provide less expensive modules but the performance and the quality is not really good.

  • Upgrade Satellite A100-200 RAM question

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-200, I want to move to 4 GB.
    I install 2 x 2 GB kingston kvr667d2s5/2 GB pc-5300 ddr2 667 mhz.

    Every time I make a control sites Internet it tells me to install PC24200 ddr2 533.
    The above will work even as the 4200 ddr2 533hz as those that I want are a lot cheaper.
    Thank you.

    Will be two sets of ram pergorm exactly the same thing as long as they are paired.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It depends on your bus (FSB) front.
    If the modules of 667 Mhz FSB support 667 Mhz then the PC5300 inserted will be run with maximum efficiency (667 Mhz).

    But if supports FSB, only modules of 533 Mhz and RAM will run at 533 Mhz only even using the fastest modules (PC5300)

    So what you need to do is check the FSB value. You can install a hardware diagnostic tool (IE Everest home edition) to verify the FSB.

    See you soon

  • Satellite A100-232 does not start windows, but is stuck

    Hello

    I am having a serious problem with my old laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100).
    When I turn on the pc, it does not start the Windows but is stuck.
    If I press F2 to open the Bios, it seems not work while the works of F12 (select boot device), but it is impossible to start anything.

    I tried the following:

    1 removed, cleaned and replaced the RAM
    2. HARD drive removed and reconnected.
    3. check the HARD drive if it is damaged, but it is not.
    4A tried to boot from the Windows XP cd and install it but it crashes
    5A tried to boot from the cd with Linux, but it does not work.
    6. has created a Windows 98 flash drive to start, but it does not work.
    7 tried to clear CMOS by removing the battery, but I couldn't because he is stuck on MB.

    I visited a technisian but he couldn't fix it.
    He told me that the BIOS is corrupted or crashed. Maybe I should replace somehow.

    Is this possible?
    How?

    Thank you

  • Re: upgrade Satellite Pro S200 memory

    Hello.

    I am wanting to upgrade memory and put a 1 bd g in. But how do you find where it is, how to replace. Or should I just consider a shop and ask them to do?
    I know the specs it's a ddr2 and the top of the Tower ok to upgrade up to 2g.

    My other laptop was simple, but I've never tried to enter it and find where it is...
    Thank you
    Greg

    Of course it is the only maximum 2 GB? I read that it is 4 GB for Pro S200-15 t, think this should work for you as well. Perhaps you could post exact type.

    The specifications are 2x2gb DDR2 SO - DIMM 677 Mhz.

    To access the memory slots just turn on your laptop, and in the Middle, close to the battery there is a plastic cover with a small symbol, a module of memory to be more precise. Just remove the screws and the cover and there you have two slots for your memory.

  • My Satellite A100-232 has a WiFi card?

    Hello
    I'd like to find if there is a slot for a wireless miniPC card in my laptop? Properties show there is no WiFi card on my computer (Fn + F8 does not work either :-)).) I would like to know if I should look for USB or PCMCIA card or have hope for miniPC card.

    Hey Buddy,

    Yes, your laptop is a mini-PCI-slot on the bottom of your machine, close the memory locations.
    Just open the cover where the mem slots are and there should be the minipci slots too where you can insert a Mini-PCI wifi card.

  • Satellite A100-232 battery does not work

    Hello!

    My problem is:

    I tried to turn on my computer using only the battery as a power source - result: dead

    I have a computer connected to the main power supply (battery installed) - result: computer is turn on, charging battery led shines, no battery information in the systray of the window.

    After an hour of charge I tried again to turn on my computer using only battery as a power supply - result: dead.

    What's wrong? Is something wrong with battery or laptop?

    Thanks in advance for your answers!

    Hello

    It seems that your battery is defective. I suggest the first step: go to the dealer, tell him your problem and he ask if you can test with him another battery in your machine.
    If you are having the same problems with another battery that youre electronic load on the motherboard can be broken
    and you will have to send your unit for repair to an authorized partner that will solve your problem.

    Hi sikl

    I didn t find any info about it and according to the specifications of laptop A100 can handle with SD cards 8 MB - 2 GB of capacity, but there is no word on ultra2 SD cards. Of course, you're the first person who asks this question. If you successfully test it please let us know.

  • Re: Satellite A100 and Win7 - screen is not appropriate in all of the screen

    Nice day

    I upgraded my Satellite A100-232 yesterday to Windows 7 32 bit. The installation went according to plan and installed everything perfectly. My problem I encounter is that the screen only covers 75% of the screen. The resolution is 800 x 600 and I changed it to 1024 x 768. Does the screen a little bigger, but still no connection in the entire screen.

    Can someone please help with this problem?

    Thanks in advance

    This model of laptop is supported for Win7?
    You have downloaded and installed the right driver?

    By the way: what A100 exactly do you have?

  • Impossible to get PRTSCR DEL + keys to work on the Satellite A100

    I have the Satellite A100 - 232 PSAA2E. Bought in Greece... If some of the keys have a second role - for Greek letters. Especially not a problem.

    However... I can't get led (top-right) to work and same (3buttons on the left led) the print. Is there a setting to change or is there another way to remove and print screen?

    Your ad is somewhat confusing. Satellite A100 is pretty old laptop so I do not understand how you have this problem now.

    Everything was ok in the past?

    As far as I know you can change the keyboard input language, but this has nothing to do with DEL or PRINT key features.

  • Satellite A100 - memory and hard drive upgrade

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite A100-158 of the model code PSAA9E-01700VPT. It came with a 80 GB HDD at 5400 RPM S.M.A.R.T. and 1 GB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz).

    I think that my computer slows to a crawl because maybe I thought the hard drive being old and low memory for recent programs and therefore upgrade the hard drive and memory.

    A Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 inch would fit? According to them, it's running at 7200 RPM with the energy consumption of a drive 5400 RPM (marketing simply bad maybe).

    And a memory card Kingston 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz working? It has a higher frequency than my current ram, but then I guess he can withdraw maximum permitted by the motherboard? I guess that's 533 Mhz as my module memory factory. I can also buy a module 2 GB of the same manufacturer exact DDR 2 as well but 667 MHz instead... still higher than my current memory module.

    Thanks much for the tips... I hope that this will bring my A100 more in standards without going to a new laptop :)

    Hello

    Generally, a HARD drive with more RPM isn't a problem, but he needs a little more power and product more heat, but it should work.
    It s based on your application that you are running. For normal use, 5400 RPM should be ok.

    The modules of RAM with higher specifications are also no problem because it s downgrade compatible for lower speed (533 MHz).
    Kingston is always recommendable, I've never had a problem with these modules. :)

  • Satellite A100 stops after upgrade memory

    Consider me the thickie Pack 1... Not sure wot im talkin end but n e way...
    Have a Satellite A100 570 (PSAA2E)...

    Tried several websites online lookin for memory upgrade. Did not have the witt to use the toshiba site... Eventually get to the point...
    Ran the Diagnostics on laptop and sent module one needed.or so I thought... wrong 1 or 1 s I bought 2 x 1 G modules in order to 'double '...

    Got my money because they were not compatible with my system... something to do with the problems of density...
    Tried company called OFFTEK... they seemed to know what they were talkin' about... I'm Offtek. at present one...

    200-pin 1.8V SoDimm PC2 - 4200 DDR2... but Toshiba recommended below...

    1 GB memory DDR2 PC2-4300 (533 MHz)
    Part number: PA3411U-2M1G
    1024 MB (1 GB) memory PC2 - 4300 DDR2 (533 MHz)

    Theres an obvious difference... 4200 and 4300. But I'm not sure if there is a significant difference... or what it means
    Update the bios to the version latest and basically put all that toshiba had to offer for this model...

    EVEREST ran and it recognizes the module 1 G but when I pull out the original 512 MB module, the laptop starts for about 3 seconds then stops...
    This repeats about 5 times then fill stop...

    I don't like open the back cover too often but it's the 3rd module...
    Don't know what is supposed to happen if the module works... IE launch message... dunno if windows recognizes module 1 G...
    Would be - this bet safer to send Offtek module and stick with option of toshiba...

    Thanks in advance...
