Satellite A135-S4527 - updates system/hardware for my laptop?

Hi all

I have a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527. I use my laptop especially for listening to music on iTunes, surfing, email, chat, etc. Sometimes I would like to edit some pictures on photoshop and I'll add the new suite Microsoft Office ("Ultimate" package) to my system very soon because I have to start using my laptop for a few college courses.

I wonder how can I speed up my system? I noticed that when I try to open Photoshop, even on its own, my system starts to turn slowly (for obvious reasons... "It's a comprehensive program). Honestly, I forgot the specs for my laptop, but I think I bought a hard drive of 1 GB and maybe 512 MB of RAM or somewhere around there. I'll have to sift through my paperwork.

What are some updates I could buy to speed up my laptop and make it more relevant? Should I buy directly through Toshiba, or are there other products of the brand that will suffice for a more affordable price?

Thanks to you all!

I think the best upgrade would be 2 GB of RAM. I put t know how much RAM you have at this time, but 2 GB should be possible and now prices of memory is very cheap.

As Akuma says you can make Windows faster if you do a reinstall or make you faster if you disable some services you need, clean startup in msconfig, defragment your HARD drive at any time and to this day.

  • What kind of RAM I need for my Satellite A135-S4527?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527. It came with 1 GB of RAM (DDR2 SDRAM). I would like to upgrade to 2... I was wondering if anyone knows what type/brand of RAM is installed at the factory, and if it is installed as 2 x 512 or 1 x 1024.

    Thank you.

    The specification of your laptop model is unknown to me, but if you want to upgrade RAM check it please this page of Kingston.

  • Satellite A135-S4527 - drivers needed & function keys do not work

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A135-S4527. But when I got this computer it was without a recovery disk / disk to reinstall Vista and the Vista operating system that was installed was a bloated mess - it has been widely used by a person of lesser intelligence. In any case, I decided to get out the hard drive and put it in my SSD with Windows XP Professional SP3.

    That's when the problems started to flow. It turns out that Toshiba doesn't support Windows XP operating system - I checked the site and was surprised to see a total lack of support for Windows XP (even though Windows XP is the dominant OS and a fortiori when this laptop has been done).

    I managed to get the drivers installed, for everything except the modem. Easier to find drivers were Intel for Chipset / Motherboard and graphic processing of legacy unit. The thing is, I don't know if these are the official drivers and I'm completely lost on the drivers for the modem. Any idea where I can gain more - late and the biggest drivers of all my components?

    There are also some problems,
    -Brightness function keys do nothing
    -Laptop computer sometimes comes out no mode 'sleep'

    What can I do on the brightness keys? The monitor is sometimes a bit too bright to be comfortable to use. Yet, I'll have a chance to make those keys actually do something.

    Any help appreciated.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, this must be a series of Toshiba laptops we.
    Therefore, I visited the Toshiba driver page us to check the availability of driver.
    And guess what? I found this, but unfortunately there is not a lot of drivers Win XP.

    There are Vista and Win 7 but not Win XP drivers.
    I guess that's all that's available for Win XP.
    So what to do?

    I think you should try to install the missing tools which are released for other series of laptop; for example, A105-Sxxxxxx
    Maybe you will get the driver works

    Let's hope. Otherwise, you will need to use the laptop without these functions

    What is the maximum system RAM for PC laptop HP Pavilion e113dx 17?

    Depending on on where I look, I seem to get contradictory information

    New HP 17 laptop AMD configurations = 12 GB max

    Crucial.com = Memory Configurator, max 8 GB

    I think the max is 12 GB (4 GB in slot 2 and the option to add a 8 GB RAM module)

    Thanks for all the help

    The following link shows its specifications:

  • Satellite A135-S4527 cooling fan works more efficiently

    Hello

    I have an A135-S4527 and the cooling fan is having issues.
    It works at low speed constantly, as it usually does, but almost never, he runs in mode high speed.
    Clearly, it must be that the air temperature is high enough... about the temperature of the exhaust gases from the typical vehicle.

    I'm worried that it will burn upwards if I have not fixed, but I don't know what needs to be fixed.
    I use a "Chill Pad" USB power under him at all times to make it work more fresh than the factory settings, but this problem has arisen only recently.

    I've owned this computer from a little less than two years now.
    5 months in the property, the HARD drive failed and had to be replaced (it goes without saying, I save ALL my important files now).

    Does anyone have information on this topic or the normal functioning of the cooling fan?
    If so, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Nick

    Hello!

    As Akuma, it could be that it takes more dust in the cooling fans or fan doesn t work properly.
    So in your case, I'll try to clean first using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can buy it at a computer retailer.

    If it doesn't work you should sent to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and clean.
    Maybe the thermal compound must be renewed and technicians can do for you. It of a little more difficult to disassemble a computer laptop and you need to remove a large number of screws so he sent to an ASP.

  • Satellite A135-S4527 - Windows encountered problem & fails to load

    At startup, Windows attempts to load, but I get the message Windows encountered problem communicating with a device. Windows does not load.
    Tried all attempts for load in SafeMode etc but no luck. Tried to load the Toshiba Recovery utility but still no luck.

    Fortunately the data is saved, but I have no recovery disks.

    How can I get the recovery disc for this machine for delivery here in the United Kingdom when it is a product of the USA?
    If the recovery discs can be ordered in the United States where to order? (I have an address to the United States for delivery if necessary).

    Hello

    As far as I know here in Europe, you will not be able to recovery media order for the laptop models to the United States. If you have a person in the United States, they must contact the nearest authorized service provider and order it for you. Later they send it to you.

    If you need to address and http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp?nav=Repair&sn=false check phone numbers

  • Satellite A135-S4527: downgraded to Win XP - now system crashes

    Hi all

    I lowered recently from Win Vista to Win XP SP3.
    Installed all the drivers required and everything works well.
    I am faced with one of the problems are system crashes always like for every 5 min.

    The mouse will not move, system will be inactive for a while, then resumes.
    Can any body suggest me how to get rid of this problem...

    Thank you...
    Kiran

    SP3 may cause problems on some PCs. I would like to try SP2 instead.

    You can try to update the BIOS and update the drivers.

    Also run Memtest in case there is a problem of the instability of the system. www.memtest.org

  • Where can I find a display for Satellite A135-S4527

    my screen is broken and is out of warranty. where can I find a screen? a new or a used one. Thank you

    Hello

    You can buy a new service provider authorized in your country.
    They can order it at Toshiba directly.
    But the new screen is very expensive, I think it costs about 300$-350$

    In my opinion, a second hand LCD screen should be enough.
    I would recommend some offers on a site of the famous auction and buying a second hand one

    Hello
    I could not find the drivers for the toshiba A135-SP4088, we bought 3 of them to the office and it is almost impossible to use with vista, so we go to XP SP2 and manage to get almost all pilots of the other models, but I can't find 2 utilities that work with this machine, they are:
    Toshiba power management (remember the bulb in the taskbar) :D

    Hotkey Utility (so I can change the brightness of the screen and go to hibernation (Fn + F4)

    I have al the rest works very well, but these two are a real problem, none of the ones I tested worked, some same crash XP and must return to a previous restore point.

    also, I did not install ACPI drivers, are they necessary?, what are those that show I'm looking for? given that the model does not exist in the csd.toshiba.com site.

    Now, how one of the largest manufacturers of laptops in the world can build a such nice computer without drivers for the most common operating system?, can someone explain me this because I sincerely do not understand.

    Thank you very much!.

  • Satellite A135-S4527 - no available motherboard

    I bought a laptop Toshiba A135 S-4527 in July 2007.
    It has a 1 year international limited warranty. 2 months only after its warranty anymore, my laptop has stopped working. When it is administered for the service, they told me that the problem is with the motherboard and I need to replace the motherboard. While the replacement of the motherboard costs more than 50% of the total cost of your laptop, I was ready to pay the sum because that lots of important data is there in my laptop.

    Now, here's the problem, they tell me the model of motherboard for my knees is not available now. Only 14 months of purchase, it's the kind of customer service you expect at Toshiba? And Yes, now I m facing a dilemma of losing all my important data with my laptop.

    Anyone else have the same experience as me?

    Hello

    Can we please clarify something? All your important data are not saved on the motherboard, but on the HARD drive and if you remove the HARD drive and connect to the other computer as external device you will have access to it.

    So please do not panic about it.

    I can't say much mainboard but this Satellite is not too old and I get new motherboard shouldn't be the problem.
    Write here about it won't help you at all. Contact service again or try to communicate with each other. We walked free and you can search for a better service.
    One more thing: all of these services are not Toshiba but small businesses that have contracts with Toshiba. If you're working a frustrated fool, that has nothing to do with Toshiba. Many of these suppliers have contract with several laptop manufacturers.

    Looks like the two adapters are compatible options and both are usable with this laptop.
    Just try to ASP (certified partner) in your country and order the compatible adapter. They should send you a good!
