• 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 Pro A200 - shows only 3 GB instead of 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

  2 years ago I had a Satellite Pro A200 as a professional laptop and it works with XP SP2, later with SP3. With 2 GB, it shows 2 GB memory in Windows - and I know it's a Radeon 7500 with 256 MB memory graphics individual, and there is no shared memory.

  I upgraded to 4 GB, but Windows shows exactly 3 GB. BIOS shows 4 GB and ATI system monitor shows 4 GB. I know that 4 GB is not possible under XP 32-bit, only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista - but on desktop systems, I've seen values between 3.3 and 3.7 GB.

  So, where's the memory? It looks like a bug - the chips of memory have two 2 GB I checked this. Because it's a company laptop I can not just switch to 64-bit XP :-(

  There's no option in the BIOS - first I thought that it is the graphics card, but mine has independent graphics with own memory so that the computer comes up with MB 2048 or 4096 after the upgrade.

  Shared memory would show about 1900 MB of RAM for the operating system as my private EEEpc.

  Hi shadowmaster_1,

  > I know that 4 GB is not possible under XP 32 bit
  Then why do you ask this question here if you already know? Moreover, it s not a limitation in XP, it s a material limitation on all 32-bit systems

  > only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista
  And who says that Windows 2003 or Vista can use 4 GB? Okay, there's an update for Vista where 4 GB correct displayed in system properties, but that doesn't make no difference. Vista 32 bit peut t use all of 4GB, it s only cosmetic improvements! ;)

  > So where is memory?
  Memory is installed on your computer, but can t be used complelty with a 32 bit OS.

  At the end of the story: If you want to use 4 GB, you need to install a 64 bit OS. On all the 32 bit OS, you can use only upward to ~3.2GB RAM!

• Satellite L30 PSL33E shows only 896 MB instead of 1024 MB

  I bought a PSL33E with 512 MB of memory. I upgraded to 1024Mo by adding a second SAMSUNG 512 MB, exactly equal to the original. Instead of 1024 MB, it displays only 896 MB. What is the reason for this difference?

  Is something related to the video memory, 128 MB, or can I have a problem in the computer? I removed the memory and it shows 448MB, boths memories and in both slots.

  Hello

  You have a shared memory graphics card?

  The actions of graphics memory shared the part of main memory and, therefore, the main memory does not show the full 1024Mo.

  It seems that the difference of 128 MB (1024 MB - 896 MB = 128 MB) is used by the graphics card.
  It's nothing wrong and nothing wrong. So don t worry buddy. Everything looks ok ;)

• Tecra M10 - Diagnostic mode shows only 3 GB instead of 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

  I have 2 Tecra M10-133 and M10J. In both cases, the system BIOS shows 4 GB (4096 MB) memory total. When I activate the Diagnostic Mode (Enable) and restart the system, this shows the following:

  3072MB MEMORY CHECK 1 OK
  3072MB MEMORY CHECK 2 OK
  3072MB MEMORY CHECK 3 OK
  3072MB MEMORY CHECK 4 OK

  Some body knows the reason why does not not the 4096MB of RAM?

  Thank you very much..!

  Hello

  I'm not very well why the diagnosis Mode shows same 3072MB 4 GB are inserted m but what value of memory is reported by the Windows operating system?
  Windows recognizes the full 4 GB of RAM?

  I should mention that only 64-bit OS can use and recognize the full 4 GB of RAM.
  The 32 bit OS will recognize as the 3.2 GB

  The other thing is that the graphics card uses part of the RAM, but generally, this should not affect the Diagnostic Mode.

  However, check your BIOS version and if more recent BIOS was released, then I recommend you to update.

  Toshiba means update?

• Re: Satellite A200-1AE does not work

  Hello!

  I have Toshiba Satellite A200-1AE computer that does not work.

  I use (d) for educational purposes and now the problem is that it will display no signs of life. the blue led light on the front of it does not illuminate when I connect it to the AC/DC adapter.

  I tested the AC/DC adapter with a voltmeter (it came with the computer in the box of the card when I bought the computer) and it works well.

  Yes, the battery could be dead also, but it should work just fine without it and is not.

  What to do about this problem?

  He has a dead motherboard? No, I can't be brave enough to think about.

  Help, please.

  Thanks in advance for your reply,

  Goran

  Hi Goran

  Everything is possible... also a dead motherboard.
  But to make sure exactly what s laptop computer checking is necessary.

  So, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for the control of the laptop.

• Satellite A200-1AE: Toshiba hardware utility - "serial number is invalid '.

  Dear Sirs,

  I have install Vista Business on my A200-1AE (origin, it was the home of top). I have install all the drivers except TOSHIBA Hardware Setup Utility. Then I try to install it says 'serial number is invalid '.

  Help how to install it and what can be a problem?

  Hello

  To my knowledge, this error message might appear for different reasons.
  First this error by using applications that was not designed for this series of laptop.
  Satellite A200-1AE belongs to the PSAECE series. Have you downloaded the tools and drivers for this series?

  Please check this!

  Second, the error of incorrect serial number appears if the wrong DMI information was stored on the system board.
  This could happen for example if a technician has not updated the DMI after a motherboard replacement.

  Finally and above all, it s that you have not installed all the drivers and applications in the right order.
  You must check the installation instruction txt file and need to install the drivers in the order mentioned in this file.

• Satellite A200-1AE: How can I configure the settings of buttons Dual Mode Pad?

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite A200-1AE. I tried to configure the default first button on my touch pad (lower left) so that I can fire up MSWord, but it did not work.

  Now every time I have set the mode button and press this button, that nothing not to pass - I lost practically this button.

  My question is how can I configure the mode button on the touch pad settings? Even if I was able to start a program by using the 3 buttons how can I modify these programs?

  Thanks for your help!

  p.s. I read the extended version of the manual for my laptop. There is no explanation of my problem - it says I should look "Synaptics Dual Mode Pad properties.

  I don't know where are these properties.

  Hello

  It s is not so difficult as you think, the properties of the synaptics are in the "mouse properties" of your "Control Panel" of windows. When you reach the 'mouse', then click on the "Advanced" tab and you should find a button 'Advanced functionality settings'.
  It could be that the button is not named as mine, but it must be identical.
  After clicking on it, you should look for this 'easy' Launcher in one of the tabs.

  I think that you will make it, but I'd like some feedback from you.

• Satellite A200-1AE does not recognize the USB 2.0 flash drive

  I have a problem because my satellite A200-1AE with Microsoft Vista does not recognize the USB 2.0 flash drive. He asks me a program/software!
  The same USB works without problem on other computers with vista!

  Someone knows what to do?

  Hello

  First of all, you must disconnect all USB devices and must remove the USB ports and controllers in the Device Manager.
  After this procedure, you must restart the laptop. After a new restart the Vista operating system should recognize the USB ports and should reinstall USB drivers again.

  Then you must update the Vista to the State! All fixes and patches must be installed. Please note that you will have to visit the MS Update site for all patches

  Notes; MS has released a beta of Vista SP1. I installed it on my laptop and it has solved several problems.

  Best regards
