Satellite 1800-400 does not start, or crashes after upgrading RAM

I have the original configuration of RAM for the S1800-400 with 120 MB. I bought a 256 MB RAM with the following description: EXT256-3069/JR, MEM 256 MB RA Toshiba Satellite PRO 4600 series C650, PIII-7500/750/800 #PA3069U (I think the brand is Transcend).

When I put this slot in the machine, keeping the original and start the computer, it does not start, either on the initial screen of freezing before downloading anything either or that goes to the screen where you can start it in safe mode, but then it does not start.

I removed the new RAM and it works well again.

What can be the problem:

(1) is this new RAM is not compatible with the computer? Based on the selections of the internet service provider, it should be (it's a Portuguese company with their own memory configuration options).

(2) the computer can work with the original 120Mo and the new 256 MB, or should it be both the same size/brand?

(3) is there any other problem that I don't have?

Hi Ricardo

I agree with feliks.
The module is not compatible and not taken in charge can be responsible for your problem.
The best way is to use the Toshiba recommended of the memory modules.

  • Satellite 1800-814 does not start if the power adapter is plugged

    Hello
    I have a problem with my 3 year old, 1800-814.
    It all started with the sudden Windows crashes. He ran sometimes smooth, sometimes he just hung up. So I decided to reinstall the laptop. My problem is when it is plugged by pressing the power on button does not start the laptop. Just the green light is on nothing else happens. Sometimes it starts after a wait of 3 or 5 seconds. On battery it starts every time. What can I do? A defect material or just dust somewhere?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It could also be something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.
    It s is not possible for the user to fix it. In such cases, the best way is to contact Toshiba service in your country.

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

    I bought 2 x 4 GB memory modules to upgrade memory up to 8 GB.
    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.

  • Dell Dimension does not start in Vista after upgrade

    A friend had a Dell Dimension E521 that won't start - has the missing file system\hal.dll.

    As there was nothing on this computer, he needed, I rebuilt it install a new copy of Windows XP, used the upgrade disc closed for upgrade to Vista and ensured everything in its original package has been installed. Let him install the Windows updates at night and in the morning, after a reboot it indicated that there is an update available. I've updated that and restarted and he said there are only four more updates that memory on the video card. I've updated those, but now it does not start at the top.

    I'm going through the boot process, but as soon as it is the screen black with the Microsoft Corporation and the (green?) bar he starts moving forward a very small amount, and then restarts. It comes up with the selection of Windows startup screen and I tried the secure boot and last good Configuration known without result.

    I tried the original XP disc to do a repair, but this doesn't seem to work with Vista?

    How can I recover a work computer or do I have to reinstall again?

    Thanks for any help, that all the world can offer.

    If you have installed Windows Vista good the first time that the hard drive should be fine however I would suggest running the Dell diagnostics just to be safe. To do this follow the instructions on page 405 of this document and perform extensive tests.

  • Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive

    Hello world.

    I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
    I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

    I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
    The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.

    Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

    THX, Philippe

    Hello

    This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
    You again is 40 GB.
    I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

  • Satellite 1800-814 does not start after the installation of the software

    Hello
    If I pass on my old Satellite S1800-814, it seems to start correctly: it shows the symbol of "Toshiba", then "Windows XP loading", then the screen goes completely blank, followed by a black screen showing the cursor that I am able to move. The hard drive continues to hum as usual for a few seconds, but then begins to repeat a series of clicking noises, somewhat like a disk that is stuck. The boot process is not still engaged.

    Here's the context: I installed my (old) version of Avid Xpress Pro editing software on my Satellite 1800-814. I managed to install a newer version, even if it does not function effectively, where my attempt to install an older version more closely adapted to the processing speed and the size of the RAM 1800-814. I got the usual warning at the end of the installation program of Avid saying that Windows can be affected if I let the installation ends in letting the computer on. But I pressed the option "continue anyway" (as I've done it before without negative effects). The computer off, but he came in as described above. Please tell me what I broke. Can I ever solve this?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    Try to start your computer in safe MODE and try to remove preinstalled software. Please report the results.

  • Satellite 1800-712 does not start - DC IN flashes orange

    Hi all.

    My toshiba laptop Satellite s1800-712 has suddenly stopped working. Whenever I try to turn it on, I get the following blink code that repeats on the DC-IN power icon.

    The icon flashes orange in the following diagram. 1 short, 1 long, short 5, 1 x long. Anyone know what this means?

    If it helps, I use a TPA90DC APC travel power adapter PSU (as my original toshiba one broken. The APC unit is located at 15V.

    I think it's a hardware failure, but that's all that can be easily fixed? I opened the laptop a few times to replace the CPU and clean, but I don't think that the fault is negligence on my part because I always open it in an antistatic environment. To be honest, this laptop to cost me too much money in modernization and if this fault is something that requires expensive repairs, I can just sell it for parts.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Mary,

    The blink code is used to locate the real failure so that the repair technicions knowing where to start checking for problems. Unfortunately these codes are published not generally then I suggest that you call a Toshiba authorized repairer and ask their opinion on fault. This way you do not have to engage in costly repairs until you know how much they are likely to cost.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite 1800-400 does not illuminate

    Hello!

    Recently, I have install windows xp pro. The computer worked OK for a week. Sound suddenly, I press the power upward and nothing happens except the energy that lights up. I looked and seems to be in hybernation. I try to press the "BACKSPACE" key at the same time and touch power, but nothing.

    If someone could help?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Remove the battery, connect the device to the power supply and press the power button only. If you want to enter the BIOS settings press the ESC key after you start the laptop.

    If the device is connected to the power supply power led indicator panel system must be green all the time. After the start of the unit, the second Green led must be enabled to show that the unit is running. HDD led show also initially HARD drive activity. If there is no response after pressing the power button / stop, I guess that there is a hardware problem

  • Satellite C650 - Windows does not start correctly

    I have a Satellite C650, who does not start, when it lights there are two options, Startup Repair launch which leads to a black screen and mobile arrow, the screen remains like that until you turn it off the button stop (seriously ive left for about 10 hours). The other option is to start windows normally resulting in a blue screen and the laptop restarts itself.

    Help me please, make things worse I can't find the box that it came in which contains the guarantee and recovery disc

    Hey Buddy,

    You can start your laptop in safe mode? This means that if you press the F8 key before Windows starts and you choose Safe mode can you start Windows?

    If this isn't the case I think that it s something wrong with your Windows installation and that's why you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

  • Satellite A200-1BJ does not start

    Hello

    My Satellite A200-1BJ does not start. After turning on the button it starts only for 1 or 2 seconds (flashing light, work from HDD, fan work, display blank) and then it turns off automatically. Once it happened days before but I didn't have the time to solve it and over the next few days, he has not occurred. Now, I tried to launch it more than 20 times and it still won't start.

    I tried only with full battery and also only with the power adapter. I removed the HDD, RAM, keyboard, DVD, speakers, display and a few other connector under the keyboard and it still does not start and it shuts down after 1-2 seconds each time.

    In recent months he sometimes exploded due to overheating during work so I cleaned the dust inside.

    No problem with the motherboard or power?

    Thanks for help.

    Hmmm... on this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is. described behavior is the same as in cases when the BIOS is dead after failed BIOS update installation.

    Of course, it's mainboard problem but what exactly, it is not easy to say. For me, this looks like faulty BIOS.

    Have you installed any updates or anything that may be responsible for this?

  • Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

    In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
    Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

    What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

    When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

    When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
    The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

    I tried to take out the battery for the afternoon, but no effect

    The P200 is a new series and I think that the guarantee is valid. Then contact the ASP in your country and ask for help.
