Satellite A305-S6857: is it possible to upgrade to 8 GB of RAM

Current installation is 4 GB of RAM (2 by 2)...
Is it possible to upgrade to 8 GB of RAM? (2 * 4)?

Thanks for your help.

Hello

Here you will find a data sheet of this laptop

[Detailed satellite A305 Specification | http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/product/pdf_files/detailed_specs/satellite_A305-S6857.pdf]

As you can see there's something about the max RAM: maximum capacity 4096MB

Therefore, 8 GB RAM upgrade is not possible.

  • Cannot get my Satellite A305-s6857 to start

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A305-s6857. When I push the power button the power light turns on, then I hear a click may not know the fan and cdrom light is lit in orange, no display on the screen; nothing else happens. And then the power turns off.

    I suspect there is something wrong with the BIOS, but I'm not sure. Please someone knows how can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    To me, it looks like a serious hardware problem
    I think that as a first step, the RAM should be checked
    You should try to switch on the laptop using that one module in different locations

    If this will not help, then another part may be affected. CPU, motherboard, etc.
    In most cases it of not possible to say what role could be faulty

    Generally, a hardware diagnostic test must be done to get the details on the problem
    In m opinion that a technician should be contacted if your warranty is valid, then everything should be done free fro

  • I can't activate the operating system on my Satellite A305-S6857

    I have laptop Satellite A305-S6857.

    A few days ago my computer did not work well.
    So I did format and reinstall the Vista trial version because I lost my CD of vista.

    Then after I tried to turn on but did not work. I put my product key at the bottom of my computer.
    I'm really horrible at the computer.
    Now, I can't use my internet and everything.

    because I don't know where are the driver files. Can someone help me?

    Tell me where are the driver files and why wasn't my product key.

    The button on the underside is not a kind of universal key and it will not activate your Vista. This key belongs to the recovery image, that you got with your laptop. If you use the Microsoft CD/DVD facilities, then get the original key. If you don't have it you can activate it online.

    Before that, configure all hardware and internet access. All the drivers, tools and utilities for this model of laptop you can find on US Toshiba support page - http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp

  • Satellite 2800-200; is it possible to upgrade the memory and HARD drive capacity

    Hi all

    my computer is a Toshiba Satellite S2800-200 (old) and I wont to ask if it is possible to upgrade memory capacity and disk.

    Thank you

    Of course you can upgrade these laptop parts.
    The laptop seems to be equipped with an internal memory which is not removable.

    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7168&ft=m&St=3
    According to the website above, you can use only one memory for an upgrade slot.
    You can use the 144-Pin PC100 SODIMM 128 MB module. It's max.

    I m not 100% sure on the HARD drive, but as I m not trunk not the laptop came with 10 GB HARD drive. Generally, a 20 GB HARD drive should be possible.

  • Satellite L20-182: is it possible to upgrade processor?

    Hello. I have a Toshiba Satellite L20 - 182 and I want to change the CPU.
    My CPU is the Celeron M 380 (1.6 Ghz), and I want to install Pentium M.
    Can I do it?
    If I can, can what Pentium M I install on my motherboard?
    Please answer me.

    Sebastian K., from the Poland

    Hello

    Well, in general it of not possible to upgrade the processor.
    Some processors are fixed mounted on the motherboard.
    In addition, the processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a permanent connection method and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation

    Just for info:
    I found some Satellite L20 units which are supplied with different processors.
    For example:
    Satellite L20-204 Intel-Pentium-M (Dothan) 750 1.86GHz
    Satellite L20-214 Intel-Pentium-M (Dothan) 740 1.73GHz
    Satellite L20-300 Intel-Celeron-M (Dothan) 370 1.5GHz

  • Satellite A305-S6857 - 64-bit XP FN keys do not work

    Hello

    I have an A305-S6857 and tried with XP Pro 64-bit. Drivers SATA BACK integrated and installed fine; the only driver I had to draw from Vista 64 bit was the RICOH card reader, the rest of Intel or were detected automatically.

    Also have the problem with the FN keys, cannot control the brightness. Downloaded the files of a such A300 model suggested by PC Tech with no luck.

    Before you install these windows files, one can enable/disable second computer laptop monitor or sleep; nothing else works.

    Could go back to Vista, my battery can last up to 4 hours without wifi, 3 hours with wifi, not using USB devices, power saving mode and turning off all the lights from the BIOS. Same with XP settings give me an average of an hour and a half of battery.

    PCtech, installed XP 32 bit?

    Kind regards.

    Your FN buttons don t work because Toshiba does not provide the common Modules for Windows XP 64-bit.
    The common Modules is one of the essential drivers/tools that are needed to get the FN buttons work.

    I doubt you'll be able to use these buttons using the Win XP 64 bit

    Hello

    Toshiba doesn't usually recommend upgrading CPU and doesn t support these upgrades. Everything you make are at your own risk!
    In this case you will lose the warranty and if something goes wrong you will not get any support.

    Well, some people suggested that it is possible and that works, but I've never tried and cannot give you a 100% guarantee that it will work.

  • Satellite A200 PSAE3A is slow - possible memory upgrade?

    Hello
    I am a real novice with this stuff so please bear with me and my stupid questions.

    I have a Satellite A200 PSAE3A - 07M 007. I got no upgrade at all.
    It has only 1 GB of RAM. It's so slow its driving me crazy.

    Cannot afford the new PC. Can I spend it?
    What I have to buy. I'm a little afraid to go to someone right now because they could tell me anything and I would believe it!

    Thank you

    Nice

    Hi mate

    According to the info I found [here | http://www.computerdirect.co.nz/products/NOTTOS429.pdf] the memory of the Satellite A200 PSAE3A - 07 M 007 can scale up to 2 GB of RAM.
    This means that you can buy another 1 GB RAM module (1 GB RAM PC2-5300 memory module) in order to improve this device.

    The upgrade is not very difficult.

  • Satellite A30 921: is it possible to upgrade graphics card?

    Is it possible to update my graphics card? I have a Satellite A30 921 that comes with the Mobile Radeon 9000 card.
    I was wondering if it is possible to update my graphics card

    Hi Daniel,.

    The graphics card in your A30 is actually a built-in chip in the motherboard unlike a desktop PC where it is a separate card. This makes it rather difficult/impossible replacement without replacing the motherboard together.

  • Satellite P15-S409: is it possible to upgrade the processor?

    Hello, I have a Toshiba P15-S409 I would like to know if the CPU can be upgraded. What socket t - it support and Max speed value?.

    How can I find the specifications.

    Thanks in advance.

    Update CPU is always a sensitive topic with different opinions. I don't know for sure if the CPU upgrade is possible, but I know with certainty that the laptop are not extensible as desktop PCs. P15 is older laptop models and on older models of laptops, the processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation.

    If you need more upgraded RAM maximum power and optimize the operating system preinstalled.

    Would be a bios update help?

    Thank you
    Steve

    Hello

    According to this site about Satellite Pro 2100 memory, the laptop supports 512 MB max.
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7444&ft=m&St=3

    It is the maximum value that can be used in the notebook.
    The BIOS will not help because it is a hardware limitation of motherboard!
