• Satellite A100 PSAA2A - BIOS recognize only 1 GB of RAM after upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100 PSAA2A. RAM is up to 2GB (2 slots).
  Now, I have 256MB + 512 MB (Kingston KVR533D2/S4/512) total = 768 MB (Samsung 256 MB DDRII 533FSB).
  It works well

  I want to improve my RAM. I've got Kingston KTT533D2 / 1 G
  I have 512 MB + 1024 MB = 1.5 GB

  I removed 256 MB to 1 GB. Now she has 512 MB and 1024 MB
  But BIOS recognizes only 1 GB (Windows XP as well). I changed my slot machines, a different combination made - always 1 GB (not 1, 5 GB)

  I checked each memory separately 256 MB, 512 MB, 1024MB - works well, but combination of combination and 512 MB + 1024 MB 256 MB + 1024 MB do not work.

  I did a BIOS upgrade and set version 2.3

  Any ideas guys?

  Thank you.

  I m not sure but I think the problem are two different modules. They come from different manufacturers have different abilities.

  If you want to, or more than 1 GB RAM, use should use the same modules. At a time when prices are cheap.

  But you can also test the RAM with special tools like Memtest86:

• Win7 installation is possible on the Satellite A100-551?

  Satellite A100-551 with XP. Is it possible to upgrade to WINDOWS 7?
  Because Microsoft does not support on Windows xp and me advice (Council) to put my PC in Windows 7.

  Is it possible to get?

  Win 7 can be installed on most laptops, even if the drivers are not official released.
  Most often the common Win 7 drivers would be installed automatically during the installation Setup. You should also get the updated driver automatically during the update of the Win 7 system.

• Question about memory & CPU in Satellite A100-551 upgrade

  Greetings
  I had the misfortune to get 2 SODIMM KVR667D2S5 / 1 G for my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-551 that don't work by themselves a single sodimm or as a pair, it doesn't matter which slot they go-they do not work.

  However when the 512 MB sodimm Moose is placed in one of the slots - anyone - either of the kvr etc. SODIMM work giving a total of 1.5 GB of ram.
  Please help me solve this problem.

  Also is it poss to upgrade cpu IE is nested cpu. I already upgraded a laptop cpu when thay had nested CPU, so I am aware of the problems that arise
  Thank you all for your help in this matter.

  Can't believe that! As far as I know this laptop was shipped only with a 512MB DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM module.
  Of course you can improve the memory up to 2 GB using two modules 1024Mo.

  Compatible memory that you can find here:

  > Also is it poss to upgrade cpu IE is nested cpu. I already upgraded a laptop cpu when they had nested CPU, so I am aware of the problems that arise
  Well, what say, the CPU is hit you can find easily by using a material like Everest diagnostic program. It would provide useful information on your laptop hardware.

  But to be honest, I'm very skeptical as to upgrade CPU on laptops.
  If you have already modified several processors on laptops so you know that's not very simple and more complicated as the CPU upgrade on desktop computers.

• Satellite A100 - 551 (PSAA2E) - new HARD drive freeze computer

  Hello

  Sorry for my bad English, I'm french.

  I have a Satellite A100-551 and original 80 GB SATA HARD disk is dead. It works enough, but there are a lot of mistakes on its surface and the pc go very slow!
  So, I buy another drive.
  This one: [samsung 250 GB | http://www.rueducommerce.fr/Composants/showdetl.cfm?product_id=422226&option=1]

  I have install on the pc but when I start the pc freeze.
  At startup, there is a moment where a normal message saying that I can access the F2 BIOS with a progressbar for loading.

  The freezing of progressbar and nothing else has add.
  If I press F2 nothing adds.
  I can't do nothing.

  Is it possible to get started with my new HARD drive?

  Is there some hard drive not recommended?

  Thanks for your replies.

  Strange, but perhaps the new HARD drive is defective or not compatible with your laptop.
  Have you tested the new HARD drive in a laptop or in an external HARD drive enclosure? It work?

  You can go into the BIOS without HARD drive?
  Check it!

  In your case I would use check the HARD drive in another laptop first, and then maybe you should try another of your laptop HARD drive.

  Good luck!

  I have good experiences with the Kingston memory modules.

  I hope this information is useful for you.

• Satellite L100 113 starts slowly after upgrade memory

  Hello

  Toshiba Satellite L100 113 PSLA3E-02401JRU starts slowly after upgrade memory with Kingston KTT533D2-512 (512 MB) of memory.
  When I press the 'power' button, it flashes, starts the fans and HARD drive several times. Then it shows BIOS start messages by memory full 768 MB and starts Windows XP without a problem.
  This behavior is noticed only after "shut down."
  It does not happen with "restart".
  What can I do to eliminate this long "attempts" to start my laptop computer?

  Thank you
  Novomir Kovalenko

  Hello

  This problem appears before upgrade memory?
  Have you used exactly the same memory modules?
  If this isn't the case, then perhaps there are a few compatibility issues.

  Usually, after the insertion of the modules you must enter the BIOS and then save the settings. Please it and eventually the laptop will start without any problems.

• Satellite A100-529 see only 1 GB instead of 1.5 GB of ram in

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A100-529 with 512 MB of RAM.

  I bought today memory 1 GB DDR2 PC4200 Corsair of brick.

  The problem is, that my laptop sees only 1 GB ram in total instead of 1.5 GB.

  I've updated the BIOS, but that's nit helped.

  Can anyone an idea what is the reason for this?

  Hello

  Have you tried to move the modules of memory in the slots?
  You might try to insert the 1 GB module into the first slot and the 512 MB in the second slot.

  What in the update of the BIOS? Check if this is possible and if the new version is available.

  If this doesn't help, I would recommend using the memory module to recommend Toshiba.
  I looked on the Toshiba option & Accessories site and found this module;
  1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

• On battery power my Satellite A100-233 runs only 1 hour

  Hello

  I would like to know if it is normal that the battery lasts 1 hour. Everything I do is either go on the internet or use word doc or power point presentation. I can't watch a dvd without the use of power due to the battery. I would also like to know what battery normally comes with the Satellite A100-233.

  Hello

  It's not easy to say how long the laptop will only work with the battery power.
  Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop!
  In your case I guess the laptop should run about 1h30min 1h15min

  You Satellite A100-233 belongs to the series of PSAA8E. Am I wrong?
  Well, this series was delivered with a 4000mAh battery. As far as I know the price part number indicated PA3399U-2BRS PA3399U-2BAS

  Anyway the 4000mAh batteries are standard and are not very powerful.
  If you want to run the notebook much more on battery I advise to use the batteries as:

  Battery pack high capacity PA3400U-1BRS (Li-ion, 12 cells, 8600mAh)
  PA3478U-1BRS extended capacity battery (Li-ion, 6000mAh, 9-cell)

• Satellite A200-10W recognize only 3 GB instead of 4 GB of RAM

  2 years ago, I bought the laptop Toshiba A200-10w.
  He had 1 GB of memory installed (at the time, the seller said that ram can be expandable to 4 GB).

  Recently, I bought RAM 2x2gb modules.
  When I installed the modules I had to update the update of the BIOS-Windows X, to recognize all the ram installed, but during POST only 3071 MB of RAM is checked (even though the main BIOS screen lists that 4096 Mb is installed).

  Even if I use FreeBSD 64-bit operating system I can only access 3071 MB of RAM.
  Is there a solution to this problem?

  Hello

  To access the full 4 GB of RAM as the three components; Operating system and BIOS of the Chipset must support 4 GB of RAM.

  If one of these parts does not support the 4 GB of RAM then your laptop will not handle and will not recognize the full 4 GB of RAM.

  Check your chipset and look into the details to the Intel page.
  There, you can find an info if your chipset is capable of 4 GB.

• Satellite A100-153 starts only occasional

  Hello

  I have a big problem with my Satellite A100-153. It does not start regularly. When the laptop is turned off and I want to start again, I can press the button and the fan will also and it seems to start but the screen remains black. I can repeat this several times. When I have the chance to try it suddenly works and Notepad starts and I see "Toshiba" Logo
  I see no reason for this odd behavior. It may be that it works really well and then I do a restart and then failure appears. All of a sudden. Without changing anything same not the position of the laptop. It is really strange.

  My warranty went for years and so I don't know if I have to give it to a local repair service or if I should send it to Toshiba. Does anyone know how expensives who can get?

  I don't know where is the problem. The display becomes competely white/white stripes sometimes appear. So I think it could be the graphics card but it works as long as I get it to start. And I also watched inside the laptop and everything seems to be fine.

  Maybe someone can help me or give me advice on the service costs repair Toshiba in Germany.

  Have you tried reseating the memory Modules?

  You can test the RAM with Memtest (CD Bootable or FD) of www.memtest.org

• Satellite A100 - 750 PSAAR, 4 GB of installed RAM, 3 GB of usable RAM

  I just upgraded my Satellite A100-750 of 2x2gb 2x1GB RAM.
  The BIOS recognizes 4 GB RAM
  but the output of said BIOS then "spent 3 GB RAM system".

  My Windows 7 Pro 64 bit OS said it has 4 GB of RAM, but only 3 GB are used.

  How can I use all my 4 GB of RAM?

  It should not be an OS problem but maybe a one BIOS.
  I tried to update my BIOS (now system BIOS version 6.0).
  but without success.

  Any suggestion?
  Thank you very much in advance,
  Carlo

  Hello

  In order to use 4 GB RAM three different factors are important.

  (1) BIOS
  (2) chipset
  (3) OS

  You will be able to use 4 GB of RAM if these 3 parts provide support for 4 GB RAM.

  Win 7 64 bit is 4 GB of RAM, so you should check first the capable chipset.
  Check chipset in your laptop computer and research on the Intel page for details if 4 GB of RAM are supported.
  If 4 GB of RAM are supported by the chipset then the BIOS does not appear to provide support for 4 GB.

• 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...

  Hey Buddy

  Have a look here:
  Memory for Toshiba Satellite A100-570
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=23658&ft=m&St=3

  You can use the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM bars!

  The pc2-4300 Rams are the same as PC2-4200. It s just a marketing gag PC2-4300 are PC2-4200 modules that can be overclocked by some versions of BIOS PC desktop

  However, you must take the PC2-4200.

• Satellite A100-049: CDs and DVDs do not read after standby

  I have a new satellite A100-049 delivered with vista home premium pre-installed. After returning to the computer from sleep/wake (whatever mode is when the yellow light pulses) without discs can be read in the drive. The disc rotates constantly, but nothing will happen.

  Everything works well when the computer is turned on at the first time, but after the sleep he stopped playing discs. Is that what I can do about it?

  Hello

  What happens if you remove the media CD or DVD of the training after the laptop back to sleep/wake?

  I mean that you should remove the Middle, close the CD tray, then open the drive, insert the CD/DVD and check if the laptop recognizes the middle.
