Satellite A200 - 1 MB-Question on upgrade of RAM and installing XP

• Satellite A200-1TW - I want to upgrade the RAM

  Hello
  I think to upgrade my RAM from 2 GB to 3 or 4 gig.
  I know that 32-bit windows recognizes only 3 gig of max, but I was wondering if it would be better to install 2x2g then 1 x 2 GB and 1 x 1 GB?
  Another question I have:
  I opened my laptop to see what was inside this time, and it seemed that she had 2 parts of ram inside (photo: http://i44.tinypic.com/xojyhw.jpg)
  )
  . So I was wondering, is this 2 x 1 gig? Or one of them is just a fake to fill the slots?

  So in short: do I have to purchase a 1 gig or a 2 gig RAM, and I have to remove the one that is installed in order to install the new one (2 gigabytes)?

  It s not a fake both modules with 2 GB (2 x 1 GB).

  Your Satellite A200 can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. You can buy 2 x 2 GB RAM DDR2-667 for laptops.
  But don t forget that Windows XP will only recognize 3 GB. 4 GB, you need a 64 bit OS.

  Here you can learn more about the limitation on 32 bit OS:

• NB200 - upgrade the RAM and install Windows 7?

  Hello to you guys.

  I'm back and received the news for you. I got my new Toshiba NB200-10Z. I would like to ask you:

  What are your comments on the upgrade of RAM? The difference is notable? It worth the cost?
  What RAM memory slot I'm supposed to get? And what is the maximum memory I can update?

  What are your ideas on installing Windows 7 as the only operating system OR to have both on different partitions?

  Thank you all in advance

  Hello

  Just one question: you have a new laptop and why you didn t consult the user manual?
  I ask this because in the user manual, you can find all the information on the upgrade of the RAM.
  In my opinion RAM upgrade is always useful because the RAM modules are cheap nowadays and with 2 or 3 GB, you have enough RAM for applications.

  Regarding the issue of Windows 7 you can install it if you want, why not? You can do what you want with your laptop, but I prefer the pre-installed version of XP at the moment because Windows 7 isn't on the market yet.
  If you want to install you need extra partition for it.

• Satellite A200 - 28 p - question when it starts

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 28 p in October, it's a great laptop, but I always had a problem when it starts.

  Occasionally, and I mean at random without cause, when I turn it on the lights of disk hard flash but it beeps twice and nothing happens.
  I have to turn it off and try again, I found the best way to solve the problem is open and close the lid a couple of times and then try and start the machine. I took it to PC world where I bought it and they were a less useless place, the first time the ' + technician + ' said that he had set and it was losing RAM, when I asked if he had reproduced in fact he he looks some what confused.

  I took his word, even thought that I had done my own research that pointed to a problem of graphic\screen and took it home. Of course the problem reproduced immediately in a day or two, the second time I took it back they suggested because its so casual, that it is and I find no reproducible model, that it would not be worth sending away.

  Can anyone shed light on what could be the cause of this? It doesn't seem to affect the machine somehow when his works actually, checked all the Windows event logs and nothing so its occurring long before that.

  The second question is much easy one of my CTRL keys has broken the key is fine, is there anywhere I can get a replacement Cap? Please do not say PC World!

  Thank you
  Jon

  Hello

  I put t know why it happened, but to me this looks like a motherboard or RAM problem but I don't know m.
  The RAM, you can check with Memtest86. It s a special diagnostic for the RAM and the freeware tool. Use Google to find out.

  In addition if Memtest86 can t find a problem your laptop should be checked by a technician for laptop. They can determine what the problem is and they also have experience in laptop disassembly.
  And a new keyboard, you can also get to an authorized service provider.

  Sorry, but at the moment I can t tell more.

• Satellite A200 - 1 GB: Questions on downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 GB and I want to downgrade to XP, but I have a few questions.

  + I install XP using nlite. +

  1. I have 2 partitions and I would like to know if my other partition (not the one with the operating system) will be also well formatted?

  2. I have Vista Bios. Should I change it to XP? And if so when do I need to do.

  Thank you!!!

  Hello

  The original CD of Microsoft Windows XP provides an option to modify, create or delete partitions on the HARD disk.
  If during the XP installation procedure, you should be able to install XP on a single partition. Other partitions will not be formatted!

  With regard to the BIOS:
  You could update the BIOS after installing XP.
  The laptop must run also without the update of the BIOS.

  But from my knowledge the FN keys would work using the operating system XP and Vista BIOS. So if you need to use all the features of the laptop, the BIOS update would be desirable.

  See you soon

• Satellite A200-1cr - two questions about the AC adapter / CC

  Hello guys,.

  I am owner of a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200-1cr and suddenly one morning, I can not charge my battery...

  I tried with another adapter that I bought for another laptop a few years ago and it worked perfectly...

  I have change the power supply cable before the adapter, that we... http://www.digitalkind.co.uk/INU_Products/INU_ProdDetailsL8.ASP?ref=57306972
  and nothing has changed, I realized that I need a new ac adapt power...

  It's for my laptop... http://toshiba.icecat.biz/en/p/PA3290E-3AC3/AC%2520Adapter%2520120W.htm

  But now I have two important questions...

  1. since I tried, the power adapter works fine, do you think that it can causes problems on my laptop or battery if I use it for a long time... I have to say that they had the same features...

  2. is the replacement of the power supply covered by my warranty which continues to operate? or will I have to pay? I have two year warranty... and it is very important for me to know...

  Thanks in advance and sorry for my English...

  > 1. As I've tried, the power adapter works well, do you think that it can causes problems on my laptop or battery if I use it for a long time... I have to say that they had the same characteristics

  If the AC adapter doesn't supports exactly the same specifications as the original Toshiba AC adapter so I wouldn't recommend using it! This could damage the motherboard! So if you want to use it you must make sure that the ampere, Volt and Watt values are the same!

  > 2. The replacement of the power supply is covered by my warranty which continues to operate? or will I have to pay? I have two year warranty... and it is very important for me to know...

  The AC adapter belongs to the laptop and it s covered by the warranty also.
  So if you warranty is still valid, don t waste time and contact the ASP in your country!
  Explain what s bad guys and I m sure will be able to help. The adapter must be replaced if it s defective!

  In this case, I would not recommend using 3rd party adapters if you will get a new ASP.

• Satellite A210 - 17 X-PSAFGE 03600LFR - upgrade DVD-RAM

  Hello

  I currently have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A210 - 17 X - PSAFGE-03600LFR, after the upgrade level of RAM and HARD drive, I would need help to update my DVD-RAM. The original CARPET * a (Panasonic) DVD - RAM UJ-870 doesn't work anymore, because the laser cell seems to be damaged, it will not recognize any disk if the CD-ROM or DVD and firmaware update provided by the assistance of Toshiba Europe has not changed anything.

  Because I need to replace, I would rather install a newer, more efficient, quieter model, but I'm having trouble to find this replacement.

  First, the front "façade" of the current unit is smaller on the right side than on the left most pattern that I find have a rectangular "sham" - that is both sides have the same size, so it does not fit into the laptop. Is that the "bezel" so that I could take the old Chase and put it on the new?

  Someone would be able to provide me with assistance to choose the correct replacement drive?

  Thanks in advance
  Kind regards

  Eric

• Satellite A200 - 1 M 8: the monitor shuts off and cannot back up to Vista

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 with original Vista. Sometimes, I have some problems with the display (I have the latest drivers).
  The monitor turns off (not as usual but it is gray instead of black) applications flow normally (I hear the music of film, this) but I can't get back into windows.

  When I push button hibernation and I try to go back to windows, I see the blue screen then the computer resets.

  It happens very often and is really frustrating because my internet disconnects and downloads.

  I don't think that the temperature is too high because I think it's cool. How to fix this?
  Maybe some graphics settings or new BIOS?

  Please help me. I can't stand it!

  Hello

  Your laptop is preinstalled with recovery delivered image, or if you have installed your own operating system?

• Satellite Pro A120 - I want to upgrade the RAM

  Hello

  I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my Satellite Pro A120 Model No.: PSAC1E-05C00VEN

  I'm getting conflicting reports as to how this can actually take, some sites say a 1 GB maximum per slot max so 2 GB while most of the others say max 2 GB per slot

  I was hoping you could advise me.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  Hello!

  Your Satellite Pro A120 is equipped with the Intel 945 GM chipset and so you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM.
  Only models with ATI chipset can be upgraded to 2 GB and I think this is the reason why some sites say that it can be upgraded to 2 GB and others at 4 GB.

  However, for the upgrade of RAM DDR2-RAM PC2-5300 (DDR2-677). You can buy 2 GB modules for a maximum of 4 GB.
  But don t forget that only a 64 bit OS supports 4 GB of RAM.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200 - BSOD in the final stage of the XP install 0x7b

  Hello all, hope someone can help me?

  Have done a lot of research on this subject, but so far, nothing seems to work, so I think I'm missing something.
  I have a satellite Pro A200-Psae4e which is HARD drive has failed and had to be replaced. I have no access to records of original recovery :(

  Laptop was already installed with XP pro, and bios is already bios XP for this model.
  I nLite had sata drivers on a disc with xp pro oem and the appears during installation

  Just at the end I geta bsod (0x7b) error.
  I tried several install nLite with other sata drivers where I just get a corrupted error iastor.sys...

  Can anyone think of something I missed as I'm slowly losing my hair with it.

  Thank you
  Merlin

  Hello

  On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find the Storage Manager 7.5.0.1017.
  Download and unzip!
  Then choose the F6flpy folder and include the files that are placed in the files ICH7M_32bit and ICH8M_32bit.

  These SATA drivers are for 32 bit OS. I guess that your Windows XP is 32-bit.

  Include it using nLite and try again!

• Re: My Satellite A200 - 28 p has stopped reading all DVD and CD

  Hello

  My Satellite a200 - 28 p used to read CDs and DVDs, but all of a sudden does not recognize cd or recordable cd brand he does not even recognize the recovery disc came with my laptop.

  I only got November laptop of Dixon's so ask why I'm having this problem when it is relatively new. It is a hardware problem software? All patches, easy?

  When I insert the disk and go to my computer it does not there be a disc in the drive of dvd - rw at all. When I double click on the dvd - rw drive, the Player automatically opens and I am asked to insert a disk, even if there is already in the drive.

  Help! : o).

  Hello!

  I agree with Akuma. Try removing the upper and lower filters that is also described in this paper to Toshiba:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7801XL0000R01.htm

  If it doesn't work try to boot from a bootable CD or DVD. So you can make sure if it s a software or hardware problem.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite A200 - 1 M 4: output TV is black and white

  Hi all

  Thanks for the wonderful forum. I think this is the right place to ask.

  I own a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 M 4 model, and the problem is with the TV available. When I connect the s-video cable to the TV, the TV shows a signal black and white instead of color. I've tried the settings PAL and NTSC on the TV but nothing worked.

  Went to the market to look for if there is a fault of cable but changed 4 or 5 wires and the problem is the same.

  I guess one of the store people said that there is a software to convert black and white to color.
  I googled to find out more but ended up with nothing

  Can anyone recommend what should I do to get the color of the TV option.

  Thank you

  I assume that your TV settings are wrong.
  I have the same problem. I've connected the laptop to the TV of the parents and the captain was black and white. But the captain was fine on my TV.

  I activated the option s-video on the other TV and I got the color ;)

  I think you should check the settings too.
