• Question about the extension of RAM for Satellite A50-522

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A50-522, with a Pentium M 715 @1. 5 Ghz processor and Intel 855GME chipset. To expand its RAM I referred to the Spain/Toshiba support website and I bought the PA3313U-2M1G (1 GB SDRAM 166 MHz DDR333/PC2700) via amazon.com. It turns out that this RAM is for "Alviso chipsets" - which are those relating to the Intel Centrino processors with 9xx series express chipset. I called Toshiba/USA and they recommend the PA3313U-1M1G or its equivalent Kingston KTT3311 / 1 G (since it is impossible to find in the Mexico), instead of the one I already bought. They all seem exactly the same thing in their description, except for the note "alviso chipset.

  My questions are:
  (a) is the chipset of this computer, considered "alviso" type? and
  (b) if not, should I keep the RAM I bought already (PA3313U-2M1G for alviso chipset)?, can I have performance or compatibility problems? What are the risks of the use of this "alviso RAM' in a 'no-alviso chipset? I deeply appreciate your input.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The RAM modules for especially for chipsets alviso are not known to me, but the Satellite A50-522 certainly supports the memory PC2700 PA3313U-1M1G bar.
  I guess the PA3313U-1M1G and PA3313U-2M1G are the same modules from memory.

  PA3313U-1M1G and PA3313U-2M1G memory module are supported the same specifications of 1 GB - SO DIMM 200 pin - DDR - 333 MHz PC2700

  I think you can use both modules without any problem.

• Satellite A50-522: what drives are compatible

  Hello

  I have the following problem, could someone help me thank you
  I have a toshiba satellite a50-522 and the hard drive seems to be dead

  While I was looking to replace.
  So here's the question; Where can I find a list of the compatible HDD with the laptop?

  Thank you

  Hello

  To my knowledge, Toshiba provides official information on hard drives compatible.
  But don t worry buddy. I think I could help a bit.
  Always is that the Satellite A50 was delivered with the 40 GB drive HARD IDE (ATA-6)
  Therefore, you need to use hard drives that support the IDE!
  The SATA drives are not compatible!

  Now a few words about the size of the HARD drive. Laptops BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and not all HARD drive sizes are supported. But I think 60 or 80 GB would be compatible so just testing everything.

  Best regards

• Satellite A50-522 support MK8025GAS or MK8032GAX HDD?

  Hello

  I currently have a hard disk of 40 GB (MK4025GAS) installed.
  I want to double its capacity. I suppose it could be replaced by MK8025GAS. However, it seems that MK8032GAX is better in performance. The question is: Satellite A50-522 could support them?

  BIOS 1.40 Windows XP Home SP2

  Thank you

  Rafa

  Hello

  I think that the laptop should be able to handle the size of 80 GB HARD drive. Sometimes the BIOS would not recognize the HARD drive due to the large size.

  But the most important is the HARD drive interface. You must use the IDE hard drives

  The laptop supports the Ultra-DMA-100 (UDMA 5) controller and therefore, it would be possible to use the 100 MB/s ATA - 6 HARD drive.

  Best regards

• Satellite A50-522 does not start

  Hi, I have a problem with my laptop (A50-522), it won't load any more, I think that there is a problem with the adapter, or is there maybe another option?
  Thank you very much

  Hello Katrien,

  Please could you give some information on your problem. The mobile turn on and display the Toshiba "splash" screen and then don't load your operating system, or the unit turn on at all?

  Do one of the bright LEDs even momentarily? Do you get any error messages?

  Kind regards

• Satellite A50 power on problem

  I have a satellite A50 produced in 2004. I was getting messages flashing up on top of the problems of critical battery despite being connected. Finally the computer lost all power. Now it is quite dead, and I can't make it work on the power supply. I removed the battery and plugged, but still have no power. There is no light on any name that is not in hibernation. It seems that some internal fuse needs to be replaced, or something that prevented completely from the power of work. I have changed the fuse in the plug and tried the power outlets alternative. Any ideas?

  Hello

  Maybe there is a problem with the electronic power supply.
  In this case, the motherboard should be replaced.
  But you should ask Toshiba service to find the fault.

• Satellite A50-522 - will not read bootable CD/DVD

  Hello

  Hi have a SA50-522 that im trying to format and install fees the O.S.

  However, the reader doesn´t seen recognize a bootable media (General or dvd´s), it shows a blank media. All other types of General and dvd´s fine work so im not sure that it s working wrong.

  I ve exchanged the optical drive by two others, without success, since the bios displays an error "ide", and I know that other readers are working well in other laptops.
  Since I Don t have the recovery I ve tried discs the recovery disc for a similar model, but I got a blue screen after the recovery...

  Don t bios also seem to recognize usb boot, if im getting a little disappointed with this. :(

  Any ideas woud be much apreciated!

  Thank you

  Hello

  > Bios Don t seem to also recognize usb boot,.

  Have you tried to connect a disk usb and power to the laptop, then? 2 days ago he was the user who also thought that the USB is not justifiable. It is advised to connect before switch on/off.

• Satellite A50 and XP pro?

  I have XP pro for purposes of working on my brand-new Satellite A50-522, but installation (even XP home upgrade) will not perform copy of files due to an unspecified error (blue screen and so on)-sometimes BAD_POOL-APPELLANT, sometimes "try to change video card.

  My XP pro disc contains no SP1 or SP2

  Someone properly installed XP pro on this machine?
  Does anyone have an idea?

  THX.

  Hello

  one of my friends has a brand-new Satellite A50-402 and he asked me to help him with the installation of XP Prof

  We have not had any problems, but we did a complete new installation of XP Prof. It was after a large number of question marks in the device, but with the Update Manager the drivers of toshiba homepage, it works very well!

  Could you also do a complete new installation of XP teacher because it is important to install the drivers and QFE patches... in the right order! With an upgrade to XP Prof this order could be choppy confused!

  You can find this order installation on the CD tools & utilities. When the CD starts a html site opens and shows you all of the necessary drivers in order!

  So I hope this will help you!

• Problems of micro satellite A50

  I got a Satellite A50. I had a problem with my microphone function because there is no possibility to select the microphone volume control icon. Can I get a driver to support for Sigmatel C-Major Soundcard?

  If I click on save, it has a sound after u play, but when you talk about something you can't hear it. In fact, the computer has detected the sound but the volume control does not block the microphone that is the reason why he can not send to the speaker output.

  Thank you for helping me.

• Satellite A50 543: still some problems with USB 2.0

  Hello
  I have laptop Satellite A50 543 with Win2k SP4 installed.
  The problem is that USB 2.0 is not active.

  I found a usb device that luckily automatically installed, so I installed it manually.

  The system is now a usb 2.0 hub - root.
  If I go to properties it shows me that the usb-external hard drive is connected. So far so good...
  (the external hard drive is USB 2.0!)

  now, I copy a file from the internal hard drive to the hard drive external... and there: surprise!
  I have a transfer rate of about 2.5 MB/s
  now I really Don t know what I can do!

  thx for your help and sorry for my bad English! ;-)
  hope you understand me!

  TOBO

  Hello

  Well, as far as I know this device was shipped with a USB 2.0 and it should support a rate of 480 Mbit/s and USB 1.1 data transmission support max 12 Mbps transfer rate.
  Did you mean the transfer rate of 2.5MB/s or 2.5Mbps?

  Good bye
