Satellite A205 and 4 GB RAM problem

Well today I got a new stick of Ram DDR2 2 GB, bringing my total Ram to 4 GB. However, my computer recognizes 3 (3070 MB) to be exact. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I'm guessing that the issue has to do with * remapping memory in the Bios is enabled * however I do not have this option. I tried to download the latest version of the Bios off toshiba.com, version 5.20, well, it won't work, I tried to do it through Windows, as well as on a CD, I get the error messages.

So I was wondering should I get the BIOS also? If yes where? My Bios is Phoenix TrustedCore.

> However my computer does recognize that the 3 (3070 MB) to be exact.
In the BIOS settings or directed by operating system preinstalled?
> I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I'm guessing
Can you please check this and remember what version of the OS is preinstalled on your system?
> I should get the BIOS also? If yes where?
Do not play with such things. Use BIOS Toshiba support only page.

    Hello

    I found information that Satellite A60 has 512 MB of RAM onboard and a single RAM slot is available. The module of RAM to use this device must be PC2100 DDR - RAM and maximum memory that your device can handle with 1536 MB.

    Recommended by Toshiba RAM modules are:
    256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)

  • Satellite P10 and so-DIMM DDR400 problem

    (First, hi to all and sorry for my BAD English: o)

    Given that I have install my new memory DDR400 (Corsair Value Select VS512DS400 x 2) in My P10, problems occur: error in windows, Crc in files compressed, etc... I try with my old DDR333: no problem.

    Give it a try with a friend of mine who have the same P10:
    exactly the same error

    I do some research, and I found a possibility:
    I see in the technical data sheet for DDR400 (and all the DDR400 SO-DIMMs are like that) the required voltage is 2.6 volts.
    And for the DDR333 needs only 2.5 Volts.

    I want to know (or confirm) if DAL00 motherboard which is inserted into the series P10 (I use 1.90v bios) can proceed to 2, 6V?

    It was very strange because I use CPU - Z to determine how fast is used for DDR400, bios seems to determine the correct speed for DDR400 (200 Mhz) and pass the FSB ratio to 1:1, Arf! good for this point! : o).

    The first time I saw the DDR333 memory in the Toshiba
    with a 3.0HT processor (which use bus 800 Mhz Quadpumped)
    I was very surprised! : o).
    Eheh, Toshiba engineers maybe had same problems when
    they used the DDR400 on it?

    Can you help me for this technical problem?

    Best regards, Ray

    Hi Ray

    In your case is problem BIOS don't recognize new RAM module. It's very nice that you are interesting about this problem, but this kind of question can be answered simply by an engineer or expert, and it will not solve your problem.
    Always is it that you need RAM DDR SODIMM (333 MHZ). The best solution for your unit is to buy one of these three modules:

    256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G).

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A100 and USB audio device problem

    I bought "toneport ux2 line6" and it does not work with my computer laptop (dual core 1, 73GHz, 1 GB ram, Windows Vista).

    The problem is when I listen to music through this device, it looks I would look scratched CD, from time to time that there is a short interruption. The same thing happens when I'm with gearbox (software that allow you to play the electric guitar using audio device). I checked everything, including change Windows XP OS.

    I have the latest drivers for the port of your (compatible vista), I downloaded 3.5 mechanism, only toneport is connected to my computer, I have disabled all installations flashing in vista, power management is scheduled for high performance. I disable the sound card. I checked my cell phone with line6 monkey and it says everything is ok. I checked the audio device on my friend's Office, and it works well.

    I desperately need help.

    Hello Marcin

    In my opinion, you must be sure your laptop running fine and according to your assignment I do not here no problem.

    So in your case you have problem with some additional equipment or third party software. Am I wrong? If there is a problem I see no reason to seek the solution with Toshiba. You should contact the manufacturers of all the devices and software that you use. They should have enough experience with own products and they should offer good support in troubleshooting.

  • Satellite A205: Bluetooth USB dongle will connect is AirCable

    I plugged a dongle Bluetooth USB generic on my Satellite A205 and used for several hours over a period of three days to connect to a Bluetooth Serial AirCable to run my telescope controller. The generic dongle worked after downloading a stack of Toshiba.

    Whenever I turned the Bluetooth it incremented COM port numbers
    My telescope controller will not recognize the Comms above 20 so I deleted the Comms that really were not used.

    Connects the USB Bluetooth dongle is no longer the AirCable Bluetooth series. * It worked before and will not work

    I tried three Bluetooth USB dongles different, including TrendNet, AirCable and credits.
    I can not connect the telescope controller AirCable series Bluetooth with all the dongles.

    _ * Someone can suggest a monitor Bluetooth that will work, or suggest a way to get my A205 to work with one of my Bluetooth USB dongles? * _

    Don

    What battery Bluetooth has been bundled with your Bluetooth adapter?
    You must use it. If it was the Toshiba Bluetooth stack while I would use the custom Mode of it to set up the COM port that you like, for example, COM6.

  • Satellite M30X and Mat * a dvd - ram uj-8205 burning problems

    I have Satellite M30x and Mat * one year dvd - ram uj-8205. On the beginning everythinks worked very well, but in the last months of 2-3 that it cannot reads some CD and have problems with CD burning
    I restarted the laptop with the recovery cd, but still the same problems. Before robooting, I used nero 6, thougth perhaps, this is the problem in nero, now using just Sonic record now accompanies the DVD.

    Please anybode help me?

    Hello

    How to help you if you don't mention what CD cannot be burned (original music CD, homes burned CDs, just specific producers, only some files are not readable). Give us more info on this issue.

    Check a little better, and if there is no success is perhaps the defective drive. It is well known that some CD (a cheaper) cannot be burned properly.

  • Satellite A205 - screwdriver-DVD Player problems

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A205
    My operating system is: Windows Vista: Home Premium, 32-bit operating system

    I have a RUG * A DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA DEVICE

    I haven't installed any strange software or had any new hardware installed, but the DVD player decided one day that it wasn't going to work. The CD still works fine, but the DVD player gave me at the beginning of messages as:

    "An error has occurred in the audio output settings. Please check audio driver is set up correctly. "So I tried, update, then just uninstalled and reinstalled the audio driver. No luck.

    I tried all sorts of things from other forums, and after a few weeks of this issue, I am at a total loss. I can not even find the real driver for this DVD player, it may be available, but there are so many forums on problems with this unit, I can't sort what is relevant to me and what is not. I tried the update, removal and relocation of the family of chipsets, I tried to completely clean all the drivers and re - install... and now as I said I can't even return original driver.

    How do I fix this?

    I don't know which DVD player, you used but, in my opinion, now the situation is quite complicated. Who knows what you have installed successfully, and what happens now.

    I recommend you to follow:
    Back up all your important data
    Install the OS by using the recovery image (its windows should work fine)
    Check in Device Manager if all the hardware components are installed correctly
    Some audio CD and a function test
    Check the functionality of DVD player (I recommend you to use VLC media player)

    If the problem persists let us know.

  • Satellite A105-S2051 and XPSP3 - upgrade RAM and hot key error

    Merry Christmas together,
    Please can some mention help: have Windows XP HOME SP3

    1. recently tried to improve my Satellite A105-S2051 950Mo to MAX 2 GB RAM. I have x 2 places available.
    2 a RAM problem, pc would not even turn when the two new ram sticks have been installed.
    3. If x 1 old used module and x 1 new stick of ram, pc would not record even installed extra RAM? After discussion with the manufacturer recommended to also upgrade my old BIOS suppliers, I did it via the load - SAME support.
    4. then they recommend - sent back 4 RAM chip, they returned with the type of chip 8,.
    5. upon receipt, PC would not turn on once more if the two 1 GB installed? While could then install x 1 old + x 1 new, pc recognizes the additional ram 1 x, 1.36 GB memory stick.
    6. have you tried to load keyboard shortcuts available on download media files to find error - Toshiba ACPI common Modules (TVALD) missing?
    8 tried to load files TVALD, to then find error - TVALZ DRIVER FAILED? aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
    Any help would be most appreciated, Please help!

    Kind regards

    Paul.

    There is no reason to discuss on the RAM upgrade, because things are clear: RAM upgrade will be successful if you use only compatible modules and module 1 GB for your laptop with PA3411U-2M1G part number.

    Use two of them, and everything will be OK.

    Back to WXP stuff.
    Installation of WXP can be quite complicated as all things, especially specific tools Toshiba and public services must be installed in the correct order. Before you begin to install Toshiba stuff, you must install common modules. It is a fundamental tool, and it must be installed first. Problem is that we support for your laptop model page, I can't find common modules for download.

    What you can try is to install from the European page. You can find it HERE. Check it out.

  • Satellite A205-s4707: High Temperature of the touchpad and HARD drive

    Hello

    just bought a toshiba satellite A205-s4707 notebook PC series and my problem is that my touch pad becomes heat when I use to a few ours.
    Is - this normal, also my drive hard temperature reaches 135 degrees fahrenheit.

    If you can help me with my problem will appreciate

    HM, I Don t think it's a problem because your machine is not working properly, doesn´t it?

    I mean, you really have a system very powerful which is packaged in a minimum of size.

    Please compare your machine with a desktop computer and you will recognize that you have some cooling devices well less than a desktop computer with a similar performance. So, Don t worry, it's normal that a laptop gets a little warmer.

    If something begins to melt, then it s critical. :) But sometimes won´t. ;)

  • Some problems with Satellite A205

    I bought a Satellite A205 at the end of March.
    It has been in the shop more than six weeks time I've owned it.

    The motherboard has been replaced twice, the LCD once and once the touchpad.
    Repairman told me that over $2000.00 were spent fixing the computer $900.00.

    Can someone tell me what is Toshiba lemon policy and when it was decided to not put more money into a warranty repair?

    Hello

    It's really sad story and I can really understand that you're frustrated.

    It seems like you're one of those who had some bad luck with the laptop. :(
    But I have a Sat A200 (it's similar to A205) and everything works fine. No problem until now... I'm lucky :D
    Anyway... the guarantee is valid and everything should be done for free... So relax and don't worry ;)

    To my knowledge, books are covered by the standard warranty for 12 months and if you sign up on the page of Toshiba notebook you will get an additional one year warranty. Of course, you can also buy warranty extensions but please do not ask me for more details... I think that everything can be found on the page of Toshiba...

  • WLAN is disconnected and I have to restart the Satellite A205

    I've had this * Toshiba Satellite A205 Intel Core 2 Duo T5300 32 Bit Vista Home Premium computer laptop * for almost 3 years and at least once and sometimes twice a day, I have to restart find my internet connection.

    It stops just for no apparent reason. I no longer receive e-mails via Outlook and get an error page in my browser window. It is extremely frustrating because I work from home. I have Wildblue satellite internet and have had since I bought this laptop.

    I also have a desktop XP computer that accesses to the * Wildblue satellite internet * with no issues at all. This leads me to think that there is a problem with Vista and internet Satellite work together.

    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this once and for all? I really do not have to restart my computer on a daily basis or will not be disturbed while he was working on something.

    Thank you so much in advance.

    Lynne

    Hello

    If I understand correctly you message the laptop worked for troubled 3years free and Wlan issue has developed now is it right?
    Have you thought about software? I mean the fact that the operating system has not been reinstalled long and that a confused OS could cause these issues?

    But before you to reinstall all the system I would recommend checking if an update of the WLan driver would help. In addition, you should check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS.
    While this updates will not help, reinstall (update player WLan after relocation) operating system and check if the problem still persists.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A205-s4707 and WXP

    What is my Satellite A205-s4707 capable of top ranked to windows xp?

    A downgrade to Windows XP should not be a problem.

    On the Web from Toshiba site we I didn t found any drivers, only a few for WiFi, reader of cards and to this day.
    But I think that this would not be a problem because you can search on external Web sites for drivers like Intel, Realtek, etc.
