• Satellite A300-1QP - RAM upgrade question

  Hello world

  After a few years, I decided to spend the money to upgrade the RAM.
  Now, I'm pretty stuck to understand what to do.

  I always knew that my laptop can be upgraded to 8 GB.
  I also have many references for this information:

  -model: Satellite A300-1 q PSAGCE-07000QIT
  (http://www.toshiba.it/discontinued-products/satellite-a300-1qp/)

  I checked physically slots: there are currently two slots of 2 GB each.
  As long as no expert, I thought that the the more logical way to upgrade such a configuration is to buy the other two chips of 4 GB each to reach the 8GB.

  However, it appears this combination didn't is not possible because I don't find not (I checked the site of Kingston and the Amazon). The upgrade of RAM I want to achieve is:
  -DDR2
  -800 Mhz
  -8 GB

  If this can be useful, I note all the data on the other two RAM modules:
  2GB 2Rx8 PC2-64005-666-12-Z3
  800 Mhz DDR2-SDRAM

  Can someone help me understand what to do to upgrade the RAM 8 GB?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  The laptop was equipped with the Intel GM45 Express chipset and the Intel ARK page this Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express is capable of dealing with the 8 GB of RAM
  The chipset seems to support 667 MHz / 800 MHz/1066 modules MHz

  If you want to increase the RAM up to 8 GB of RAM, the best option would be the use of 2 x SO-DIMM 4 GB (DDR2 800 Mhz) modules
  The present modules must be removed and replaced with two modules of 4 GB.

  Usually, you can use modules of different brand but modules good markets can cause a lot of problem different and strange. So I recommend you to buy good quality like Kingston, Toshiba, modules etc.

• Satellite A300-231 Ram Extention

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-231 and I want to install 2 x 4 GB DDR3 - 1333 so-Dimm Ram...

  I want to know if it will work with the 1333 Mhz ram...

  Thanks in advance for your help.
  Haris.

  Hello

  It depends on the chipset clock!
  If the 1333 Mhz chipset supports modules of memory would go at that speed.
  Otherwise, the chipset would clock the speed of the memory that is supported by simple modules.
  So check your chipset properties and you will know if the memory modules would run at 1333 Mhz.

• Satellite A300-M00 - how to clean?

  Hello, my A300-M00 is about 2 years old and so far it has been very well. The core temperature at idle is at around 50 degrees, and whenever I do something like install a program game a game it amounts to + 70 degrees. I cleaned the fan at the bottom of the laptop but I can't have any other party the cooling system due to the design of the laptop.

  I did some research and found compressed air could help out but would it be useful my laptop especially with the design of the cooling system? I also found that the thermal grease my need replacing then how long that need to be replaced?

  Finally, someone could tell me if the Toshiba customer Service does all this and how much it would cost?

  Thank you.

  Hi inserted,

  Why compressed air spray shouldn't t help you? This can be done on all computers laptops, not only on laptop computers from Toshiba. You can get the jet of compressed air from each dealer computer I think. Blow gently and shortly the depression of the air holes of the case. This can blow the dust from the cooling fans.
  Check it!

  If that doesn t work, you can renew the thermal grease. Maybe it of necessary, but it always depends on the use of the laptop.

  Of course, authorized service provider can also do it for you, but I put t know how much it costs. In your case I give them a call and ask for it. Who s the easy way! ;)

• Satellite A300/M00 has room for Intel Turbo Memory?

  Hello
  My question is, "the A300/M00 has room for Intel Turbo Memory and if so y at - it a tutorial to place the module in.

  I don't think that. Intel abandoned cards Robson earlier this year due to the absence of performance benefits.

• Satellite A300 - a RAM module will not work

  Hello guys,.

  6-8 months ago, I had a terrible accident with my laptop, I spilled:(coffe là-dessus.) Initially it has worked very well, but after a few days I just couldn't start it. When I pressed the power button, 'satellite' logo turned on, I could hear the fan but the HARD drive would not start. Tryied to clean and finally he started to :)

  Then from time to time (each is approximately 40 days) it does not start and what I've found, is that the RAM slot near the motherboard has a problem. When I remove the RAM from the slot, it works very well (but with 2 GB instead of 3 GB). A few days later, I put the second RAM and reworked for the next 40 days. Even in this way, I was satisfied after what had happened (the accident of coffee).

  The problem is that the same thing happened about 1 month ago but still every time I insert the second RAM I get the black screen, fan works and nothing more (with 1 memory it still works). Is it possible that the slot 2 is now dead, after 6 months of a semi-travail condition? Do you know how to clean it? or do something else?

  I changed the 2 RAM in both slots and I'm sure that the work of two Ram.

  Thank you and I would appreciate your help as I am a student and I use a lot of Matlab (it takes forever with only 2 GB of RAM)

  Hi creative1,.

  I think that it s not easy to say which is the main reason for this problem. Theoretically, it could be caused by the coffee that you reversed but it could also be another reason. In my view, that such a precise diagnosis can be done from an authorized service provider.

  The memory modules that you are using? Two of the ASP and pre-tested modules?

  Modules of RAM, you can test with special software of diagnosis than Memtest86. If the RAM modules are faulty, Memtest86 should acknowledge mistakes. It would be interesting to try.

  In the worst cases, the second location of memory is faulty. If the bars of memory work in the first place it seems to be the case :(

• Satellite A300 - 1 MM: RAM, disk, CPU upgrade

  Hello from Greece,

  I have toshiba satellite A300 - 1 MM a moment when you have completed the education that I won t to upgrade my laptop.
  For this movement I change ram, CPU and hard drive.
  But I do not know I f the system will recognize.

  _Below quote you the characteristics I want change_

  Fisrt of T3200 (1 MB of cache, 2.00 GHz, 533 MHz FSB) to
  Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T9400 2.53 Ghz 1066 MHz 6 MB CPU
  (Deuxieme from 3 GB ram 8 GB
  Third ocz vertex 2
  Fourth one another graph one know not particular

  ? Thanks for your time

  To be clear: the upgrades of RAM and HARD drive are supported.
  Update CPU is not supported due to several reasons. Check the lease - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  You must understand that the hardware update on mobile machinery is quite limited due to the special construction and cooling system. I put t know to what kind of operations, you use your laptop, but my A300 works perfectly with Win7 32 bit and has enough power for daily activity and all multimedia operations.

  Upgrade of RAM maximum and be happy with it.

• RAM is not detected on my Satellite A300-1MC

  Hello

  I bought 4 GB of memory RAM upgrade Pro and it does not seem to detect it on my A300-1MC

  Here is the link for the RAM I got where it is evil, but I doubt it because the part number matches what I need:
  [http://www.memoryupgrade.pro/4gb-toshiba-satellite-a300-st4505-memory-1x-4gb-pa3670u-1m4g-pc2-6400-ddr2-800mhz-so-dimm-upgrade.html]

  Any ideas what I need to do?

  I have a 3 GB already installed and I took out the 1 GB and put 4 GB in its place - the BIOS didn't detect it as I know that 32-bit Windows usually use all the 6 GB.

  Thanks in advance for any help on this.
  If you need more simply make information let me know.

  Thank you
  Keith

  These problems are typical, when someone buys a product or incompatible products name.
  My advice is to return and buy compatible and tested modules of RAM. What you need is 4 GB DDR2 - 800 MHz module, with PA3670U-1M4G part number. It seems that the RAM you bought must be right, but... What is the brand of this module?

  Best brand for the Rams is KINGSTON.
  Check it out on KTT800D2 / 4G.

  Is RAM recognized if you use only this new RAM (slot A)?

  By the way: your Satellite can be improved up to 8 GB of RAM. Cool!!!

  Hello

  You simply take a look in the manual of the user that was preinstalled on your laptop.
  On my laptop, the operating manual has been preloaded with too, and I could find all the necessary information concerning the upgrade of RAM.

  The manual says you can use PC2-5300 modules if the A300 would support the RS690M/PM965/GM965 chipsets. But if the laptop is equipped with Intel GL960 chipset, so you can only use the PC2-4200 modules.

  Using the Intel GL960 chipset you can extend the RAM to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB RAM)

  See you soon

  Hi all!

  I have satellite A300-145 with Vista 32 home Premimume - now on laptop installed 2 modules of 1 GB of RAM (for mode dual channel)

  Q: if I replace the RAM to 2 modules of 2 GB of RAM this mode dual channel still & 4 GB RAM?
  -May support A300-145 4 GB RAM? and Vista 32? (Intel GM965 chipset have support 4GB RAM)

  Satellite A300-145 was equipped with a Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset. Or I m wrong?
  AFAIK this chipset provides only the 2 GB support

  32 bit Vista will recognize only about 3.2 GB.

  Hello

  Have you installed the right graphics card driver?
  The Sat A300-1GN belongs to the PSAGCE series.
  I checked the page of the Toshiba driver and there are two pilots;
  I think that you should choose the ATI driver 8.477 display because this driver supports the Mobility Radeon HD 34xx/36xx chips.

  Other base system devices could be Bridge Media slot (for SD cards), touchpad, HDMI Control Manager.

  I didn't find these drivers 64-bit on Toshiba page. Maybe you should choose some drivers for Vista 32 bit

  Hello

  In recent years, I also use A300 and have very good experiences with this machine. To be honest, I was not satisfied with the original version of Vista.

  I did follow the steps:
  -I ve upgraded RAM
  -I ve bought 265 GB SSDS
  - and last step was the installation of Windows 7.

  Trust me, machine works like a rocket. Windows 7 is fully supported and all the drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Any substance must be installed following the right installation order. If you need help or assistance please let me know.
