• Satellite A100-847 - upgrade advice

  Hello

  I use the Satellite A100 - 847 (PSAA9E) for almost two years. 2 years warranty be over within a month, so I guees this is good time for an upgrade. I could use more RAM and a faster HARD drive (for purposes of CAD especially when I'm on the track) so I would like to know more about it.

  * What I already found out which is my laptop: *.
  (if I'm wrong with something to say please)

  1) ... May take 2 DDR2-DIMM modules; 4 GB max; which means 2x2gb. I have already 2X512GB, and it is not enough.
  -The question is what DDR2 memory! The FSB is running on 667 MHz, so I guess I should buy PC-5300/667 or even 6400/800?
  -What is the best memory for my laptop? Who gets very hot! What model is pretty cool?

  2) ... At a Hitachi Travelstar 5 K 100, 2.5 ", 5400 RPM, 8 MB, 100 GB SATA cache. The capacity is enough for me, but it's far too slow. So I guess I should to a 7200 RPM 16 MB disk cache.
  -The question here is my laptop support SATA2 or is - this just SATA1? What shlould buy?
  -My laptop does support disk 7200 RPM?
  -My laptop overheating with this drive?

  3) ... Could have a more efficient cooling system. Is there a solution to this?

  Thank you in advance,

  Hello

  Googling autour I ve found track information:

  The computer has two SO DIMM slot comes standard with the DDRII 4200 module. He
  supports PC2-4200 and use SO DIMM (DDRII SDRAM) leads to 1.8 V, accepting
  BTO/CTO for your memory needs. It can integrate up to 4 GB of hand
  memory.
  By using the following formats of memory modules:
  256 MB (16 M × 16 × 8 P) / 533/667 MHZ
  512 MB (32 M × 16 × 8 P) / 533/667 MHZ
  1024 MB (64Mx16x8P) / 533/667 MHZ

  If you want to use the maximum RAM, you must use two 2 GB. Toshiba recommends the use
  2 x 2 GB RAM DDR2 PA3513U-1M2G. An alternative to this RAM module are modules memory high quality Kingston .

  On HARD drive, I can say follow:
  HARD drive interface compliant to Serial ATA (for 40/60/80/100/120 GB).
  The computer can accommodate a HARD drive of 2.5 inches with all the following storage capabilities:
  40 GB SATA (9.5 mm thick) (5 400 rpm)
  60 GB SATA (9.5 mm thick) (5 400 tr/min/7200 RPM)
  80 GB SATA (9.5 mm thick) (5 400 tr/min/7200 RPM)
  100 GB SATA (9.5 mm thick) (5 400 tr/min/7200 RPM)
  120 GB (5400 RPM) SATA (9.5 mm thick)

  As far as I know that SATA2 is backward compatible and theoretically, you can use it, but I'm not sure about this. If I were you, I would by SATA1 HDD.
  As you can see, Toshiba has tested 7200 RPM hard drives with this model of laptop, and you can use it also.
  Maybe not overheating, but I can imagine that the plastic cover will be hotter than before. Make sure just the laptop is placed correctly and that there is nothing blocking the cooling fan.

  More efficient cooling system? I put t know what you mean exactly end-to-end you can try something like this.

• Re: Satellite A100 - RAM upgrade

  I'm looking at upgrading the Ram PC following Toshiba laptop: TOSHIBA Satellite A100 PSAA0C-LE400E

  The RAM I can upgrade is as follows:
  Memory slots / Max: 2 slots of RAM - bottom of the unit (available to the user), busy one with 512 MB DDR2 PC2-4200; can be filled with 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB DDR2 (2048 MB = 1024 x 1 + 1024 MB x 1 MB Max)

  Memory: 512 MB PC2 - 4200 DDR2
  Running under windows 7 32 bit

  My Question is that I found Ram named series SQ G.SKILL DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 2GB SODIMM Memory (F2-4200CL4S-2GBSQ)
  Where can I put in 4 GB of ram instead of 2 GB max as shown above.

  I would say that if it fits it and works it should be able to use up to 3 GB of it with a 32-bit operating system but someone tried?

  Hey,.

  If the so-called specifications that you can use 1 GB in each slot and a maximum capacity of 2 GB RAM, why do you buy 4 GB of RAM?
  In addition on a 32-bit operating system you can use only up to 3.2 GB

  In your case, I would like to purchase 2 modules of RAM with 1 GB of capacity, and it works.

  I can recommend the modules of RAM Kingston, because they are quality products and never had a problem with them.

• Satellite A100 (PSAARA) - upgrade of RAM possible?

  Hello

  Just wondering if I could update my current ram in my laptop Satellite A100 and if so how?

  He is currently a Satellite A100 (PSAARA) with 2 GB of RAM.

  Processor: Intel (r) core (TM) 2 CPU T5200 @ 1.60 GHZ 1.60 GHz

  Running Vista 32 bit.

  What type of RAM upgrade I could on this system? And what code PIN?
  And I know that this may be a shot in the water, but is it possible to update the graphics card at all?

  Sorry am new on this... no idea what I'm doing, so if you could help I would appreciate it!

  Thank you

  > And I know that this may be a shot in the water, but is it possible to update the graphics card at all?
  No, the graphics card can not be upgraded

  > It's currently a Satellite A100 (PSAARA) with 2 GB of RAM. What type of RAM upgrade I could on this system? And what code PIN?

  I think modules laptop use the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM, but AFAIK the 2 GB of RAM is max and this would mean that it of not possible to upgrade to 4 GB or more

  But to be 100% sure, you should consult your user manual.

• 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 RAM upgrade - 746

  Hey all
  I have a Satellite A100 - 746. And I want to prolong her memory. But I can't find its specification anywhere on the internet. Not even on the Toshiba site. It's just like that, this model does not exist and I am the only one to buy it.
  I want to upgrade my RAM and I can't find any information until I can upgrade memory, I can improve to 4 GB?
  And I use the memory in pairs? As I have now 2 x 512 MB RAM. I want to delete a 512 MB and put 2 GB instead. Will it work? Or I have to use a couple?

  Anyone who can help me please, I'm so frustrated.
  Thank you very much

  You are right. This model laptop can handle with 4 GB RAM max. Do not use two identical RAM modules. According to the specifications of the laptop, you can use DDR2-533 RAM 1 GB module (PA3411U-2M1G). Using two of them you will have fantastic 2 GB of RAM and it is more than enough for Windows XP Home edition.

  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the module of RAM 2 GB for your laptop.
  You use Windows XP Home or Vista edition?

• The Satellite A100 processor upgrade

  Supports the Chipset I945PM C2D T7200/400/600 processors based on the Intel site (http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=22817 - compatible products).
  but I can't find any information on the compatibility of the BIOS.

  What processors are compatible with the latest version of BIOS for A100?

  Hello

  These information are not available on the Toshiba page.
  But there are different A100 with different hardware components.
  You can check some A100 with different processors, and then you will know what the processors supported for you would be.

  But there is a weak kind of risk for all other processors. If you need only test this
  But note; stronger central units could affect the functionality of a laptop because of the higher heat dissipation.

  Hello

  You need to format the HARD disk to NTFS.
  Please perform the procedure long format.
  After Installing Win XP check in disk management settings, the size of the HARD drive.
  I noticed that a wrong size of HARD drive could be reported if the HARD drive has been formatted not!

  But maybe, there is a limitation of the BIOS and the size of 250 GB HARD drive is not fully supported.

• Satellite A100-692: upgrade of the disk and issue stop Wlan

  I always have problem when I intend to turn off and a message says that my wireless Intel don't want to shut down now and I have to click on the button to immediately turn off? Can someone help me?

  And another question: I saw on the Internet, there are a few new Slotload DVD DL DVD + / pioneer, Panasonic. Can I change my Combo (Pioneer too) with the above (I love Slot load DVD Combo)? No problem with the garranties?

  (1.) I put t know if it helps but you can try to reinstall the Wlan driver.

  2.), you must know that not all readers are compatible and supported on the laptop. The best way is to contact Toshiba service partner in your country if you wish to order the compatible reader. It is important because of the csel/slave/master settings.
  If the drive has wrong settings of the BIOS will not recognize the device

  Hey Buddy

  On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find all the drivers for Win XP for this laptop model.
  You should search the archives you know

  There is a version of driver LAN: Intel and Intel v9.2.24 v8.0.43.0
  Try them both!

  By the way; What status of LAN card is visible in the Device Manager? Is there a stranger or ethernet controller a yellow explanation mark?

  Check it out!

• Re: Satellite A100-667 - RAM and CPU upgrade

  Hi all, I am considering upgrading RAM on my * SATELLITE A100-667 * (PSAARE-02700DIT). Is anyone know the maximum amount of ram I can install it? What clock is supported? (553, 667...)

  And what about CPU? The laptop comes with an Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66 GHz on Intel i945PM chipset.

  Thanks in advance for any information.

  Hello

  I think that you should also check your RAM upgrades for user manuals. As far as I know that you can upgrade your laptop with 4 GB of RAM. Therefore, you can use DDR2-533 modules. You buy from an authorized service provider or Kingston modules also recommendable.

  Upgrading the CPU is not supported. BIOS and motherboard are tested only with the preinstalled CPU.
  Also check similar discussions on this issue.

• Satellite A100 - Upgrade Intel for 5300AGN Intel 3945ABG WIFI card

  Hi all

  I own a satellite A100-383 PSAARE. I want to upgrade the wifi card, like the one it is installed right now (PRO/Wireless 3945ABG), does not all the speed, the line can achieve (100 MB to the bottom). Anyone know if the map intel 5300 AGN is compatible with my laptop. If not I would appreciate a lot of suggestions.

  Thank you

  Don t think that someone can give you an appropriate response since the compatibility depends on the BIOS
  If the BIOS would be compatible with the new WLan card, then you can use it for you

  The point is that motherboards is able to manage the cards WLan miniPCI module is just plugged the miniPCI slot and its removable
  So there is just one question about BIOS support and I m afraid you will need to test this at your peril

• Satellite A100-991-set to upgrade to Windows 7

  Hello

  I am the owner of a Satellite A100-991. Thanks to Toshiba, I upgraded from XP MCE Vista Home Premium at a small price.

  Now, I would like to upgrade to Windows 7, but I don't know which version of Windows 7, I have to buy.

  Not a Toshiba offers special "Vista to Windows 7" for Notebooks?
  If not, should what kind of Windows 7 I buy at Microsoft? Is one compatible with my current operating system? http://EMEA.microsoftstore.com/FR/Microsoft/mise-a-jour-Windows-7-Edition-familiale-premium

  Thank you

  At the moment he is has no info on the models of laptops will be will support for the new Windows 7 operating system.
  To be honest, I think your laptop is quite old and it will not support for Windows 7.
  You can buy it, but without the utilities, tools and the correct drivers won't you have configured OS as for support of Windows XP Home edition or Vista.

  Maybe you should wait a few weeks before management starts and you will see how it will be compatible with Satellite A100.
