Satellite A500 - 1 H 1 - memory upgrade

Hello

As I am ready to upgrade the memory of my laptop, for the moment, my laptop has 2 x 2 GB DDR3 PC3 - 8500 1066 MHz (at least that is what the spec said). I intend to remove them and put in 2 x 4 GB, but PC3-10600 @ 1333 Mhz. * is my plan feasible or memories of 1333 Mhz are not compatible with my laptop computer motherboard? * problem is get 1066 Mhz is pretty surreal, where I live, because they are quite rare and most shops offer only of 1333 Mhz and higher.

Thanks in advance for your answers/suggestions.

/ Q

The fact is that Satellite A500 - 1 H 1 supports the Intel Core i3 - 330 M CPU processor and the CPU supports DDR3 modules - 800 1066 Mhz RAM.
Generally, it should be possible to use faster RAM modules as 1333 MHz (DDR3-10600), but the speed will be limited to 1 066 Mhz.

  • Re: Satellite A500 - 1 H 4 memory upgrade: what characteristics?

    Hello

    I own a Toshiba Satellite A500 - 1 H 4, and I would like to improve my memory of 4 & 2 GB 4 & 4 installation.
    Given the complexity of the subject, I need some information:

    -What are the detailed specifications? Memory of 1066 or 1333 MHz? Should have 200 or 204 pins?
    -do I replace both of the chips or one would suffice?

    Grateful for answers.

    Also, sorry for my English.

    Hello

    AFAIK the upgrade of RAM is mentioned in the user manual.
    Have you checked this in the past?

    The laptop runs of DDR3 1066 MHz (PC3-8500) DDR3-SO-DIMM (204 PIN)
    memory modules.
    You can upgrade the RAM to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) because the Intel HM55 supports 8 GB of RAM.

    I recommend using two exactly the same modules to avoid some compatibility problems.

  • Satellite A500-1F4 and frequency memory problem

    Win7 gives SAMSUNG r.620 DDR2-800 * 6.2 POINT *.
    But it gives my laptops memory * only 5.9* which is DDR3

    Update the BIOS to the latest version, but nothing has changed.

    This is ridiculous. What it means?

    I took the screenshot of everest, you can check it out here:

    And your opinion is that Everest is an application more suitable for this kind of thing?
    You have the SAMSUNG r.620 DDR2-800 with your laptop?

    Strange thing is that all Satellite A500-1F4 I found were shipped with the DDR3 1066 MHz modules. How can you have DDR2 inside?

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A500 - 134.
    When I was upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7, I had to remove some programs as Advisor on upgrade mentioned.
    Now I'm bored of these programs after installing Windows 7:
    # Toshiba Tempro
    # Toshiba ConfigFree
    # Toshiba Disc Creator

    In addition, the 'FN' key no longer (it worked on Vista), so I can't activate a feature when I press FN + (some F # buttons as F2).

    So, what can I do about it?

  • Re: Satellite P200d-12U and 4GB memory upgrade

    Hello

    I was given a Satellite P200-12U with 2 GB of friend of a friend and asked to be upgraded to 4 GB.
    Have purchased and installed the memory, but noticed BIOS and still only registered WINDOWs 2GB.
    Then went into BIOS

    JASAA BIOS V1.40

    and I noticed that the options are usually very limited, and that memory is indicated but not selectable.

    Do I have reason to think that this machine is limited to 2 GB? And may refer the 4 GB to the shop?

    Thanks for any information.

    Hello

    Can you please send the exact model name?
    Subject and then validation you wrote about two different laptop models.

    Satellite P200D-12U or Satellite P200-12U?

  • Satellite P100-219: overheating after memory upgrade

    Hello guys,.

    I've recently upgraded to 4 GB RAM in my laptop, and he did it again.
    Computer laptop stops immediately after awhile. CPU or GPU gets really hot. Works fan CPU, GPU was not used intensely. Simple web browsing/cat/emailing.

    What becomes hot however is part to the left of the memory/wlan compartment. Is it possible that a chipset gets hot after just upgrade memory?
    I tested the memory with Memtest + for more than 3 hours. No errors.

    Moreover, the last time that my phone was in ASP it had returned with DMI saying it's Satellite L20! I dunno if that could be related...

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
    mentorek

    You have blown the dust anyway? As you say, maybe another component is overheating rather than the CPU or GPU. The CPU/GPU heatsink can be shared with other chips.

    Have you installed RAM high performance? His best choose RAM that has the same Timings CASE/RAS as the original factory of RAM.

    The name DMI does not cause something like this.

    PS. If you're running Vista, you must pass the BIOS and driver nVidia on the Toshiba site

  • Satellite L40-143 (PSL40E-04E00LGR) - memory upgrade

    I want to upgrade the memory of my laptop: Satellite L40 - 143 Modell Nr.: PSL40E-04E00LGR

    I can find my phone on the support site and the following information for the memory (which is consistent with the information I have):

    Standard: 1,024 (512 + 512) MB
    Max Erweiterbarkeit: 2.048 MB
    Technology: DDR2 RAM (667 MHz)

    I understand I can go to a maximum of 2 GB. I have two questions:

    1. question:
    By clicking on: 'Zubehör' I get the suggestion to buy the next memory:

    1024 MB (1 GB) memory PC2 - 4300 DDR2 (533 MHz) PA3411U-2M1G
    512 MB memory PC2 - 4300 DDR2 (533 MHz) PA3412S - 2M 51

    It is however 533 MhZ DDR2 PC4300, in my manual and on the technical page details it says PC 5300 at 667 MHZ, well? What is the good memory to buy?

    2. question:
    I now have 512 + 512 MB in the notebook. Can I buy a single module 2 GB instead of the two modules of 1 GB?

    Thanks for the replies!

    Hello

    In your case, I would like to buy RAM with the specifications of the user manual. In the worst cases it runs only on 533 MHz but I tried a little with Google and it seems that the laptop is using 667 MHz modules.
    Moreover, I can recommend high-quality Kingston memory.

    Regarding your last question, you can only buy two 1 GB modules. It is the maximum capacity for each RAM module.

  • Satellite A500 - 138 (PSAM3E) - HARD drive upgrade

    Hello guys.

    I decided to upgrade the HARD drive in my Toshiba A500-138 1 - years, (PSAM3E). Now, I have 400 GB HARD drive and would like to have 1 TB - Toshiba MK1059GSM to be precise. The only thing that prevents me to order it now, is that this HARD drive is 12.5 mm high, while my old 400 GB is 9.5 mm (that you can consider as standard).

    Don't you think it would fit in the A500 chasis? Perhaps someone did a similar upgrade in the past?

    One last thing - Toshiba A500 will be same recognize the HARD drive? I think that 1 - year, laptop should not have a problem with it, but I could be wrong.

    Any help and suggestions would be very appreciated :)

    Kind regards.

    I had the same situation on my old Satellite A300 and I can say that you can use the two HDD. It doesn t matter what the hard top. You can use both of them.

    I assume that you are the first one here on this forum with these updates and it will be nice to hear your personal experience, but I think that the new HARD drive should be recognized correctly on this new model of laptop.

  • Satellite L50 - A-1 DG - memory upgrade

    (1) I want to update. Could add 8 GB of crucial (http://www.crucial.fr/eu/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=92951A9AA5CA7304) to an existing 4?
    (2) if I replace the HDD with a SSD do you know if it will be possible to connect very quickly as with a ultrabook (spec intel)?

    Thanks for your help

    Vince

    According to the specifications of the laptop it has 4 RAM slots and can be upgraded up to 32 GB of RAM.
    Rams compatible are:
    4 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M4G
    8 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M8G

    I advise you to buy high-quality Kingston modules and you will be safe from the 100% compatibility.

    With SSD I think that there is no problem at all. I upgraded my laptop older and it works perfectly.
    Which would you buy?

  • Satellite A500 - upgrade the processor and RAM void my warranty?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500, and I think to upgrade my processor CPU and RAM. If I open it invalidate or do I need a Toshiba authority to open it? Removes the card RAM will void the warranty?

    All I need to know is that can I put RAM and CPU processor without voiding the warranty

    Hey,.

    If you upgrade the CPU, you will cancel the warranty because this upgrade is not supported from Toshiba.
    In addition, I put t understand why you buy a laptop, and then you think of some hardware upgrades. In your case, I'd rather bought a laptop with faster processor and more RAM.

    Where can I find driver updates?

    Thanks for the reply.

    Where can I find driver updates?

    Unfortunately, it seems that the Satellite A500 is too old and will not be Windows 10 drivers.
    I found the Toshiba site, which provides information on the Toshiba models supported for upgrading to Windows 10 and the A500 is not which are listed there.
    http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG

    Generally, all Toshiba drivers earn 10 for other models of laptops can be downloaded on this page:
    http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG
    then maybe you can see the drivers released for other series...

    I also read that some of the riders Win 8 could also work in the frame to win 10.

  • Satellite A500 - sounds/images of default system lost after installing Win7

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500 with Windows Vista and upgrade to Windows 7. After my installation of Windows 7, I lost all my icons of Toshiba and sounds, as silent image appears so hitting the button mute on the keyboard and the beep on hitting the sound up/down button.

    Before installing, I took a backup of a file from Toshiba and tried to install apps from Toshiba in the TOSHIBA\TOSAPINS folder there. But still not get the default values of the system.

    Would be very grateful if someone could help me to restore those back.

    See you soon,.
    Vikram.

    Hello

    I assume you mean on the menu that appears with the FN keys

    Usually after installing Win 7, you must reinstall the VAP (value added package) and utility Support Flash Cards in order to get the keys FN working again.
    You can download the two page from Toshiba Europe tools.

    I m not very good if you get the same sound that was available under Vista as Win 7 takes care of the own system alerts/sounds.

    But after the installation of VAP and Flash Cards Support utility, you should see the images that appear with the FN keys.

  • Satellite A500: Multimedia keys do not work after Win 8 upgrade

    Hi everyone, I run Toshiba SATELLITE A500 - 1C0 (PSAR3E-01300WPL) with Windows 8 PRO x 64.

    As I noticed - post factum /:-'Models supported' not supported for Windows 8 drivers of my PC.

    Although, the computer will work perfectly, but I have a little problem with my drivers: the Panel at the top of the keyboard (http://goo.gl/IQVAG) works not only put on mute, volume up/down work, but the ECO button and media buttons are NOT - is there any method to upgrade the drivers so that I can use all the keys?

    I installed TOSHIBA eco utility and it works fine, but the buttons do not respond. I can't find and update the driver/ulitity that is responsible for this issue.

    I also want to ask if there is any chance to get the TOSHIBA for Win.8 drivers for my Satellite A PC series in the future. Y at - it a utility to analyze and automatically update TOSHIBA drivers? (but not Toshiba drivers Update Utility, which does not work in my case - it offers me to downgrade my drivers!)

    I opened the Device Manager and tried to update the drivers manually, but - that's even BIGGER problem then eco Panel etc. - some devices are marked as "unknown devices" and may not be recognized at all.

    > is there a method to upgrade the drivers so that I can use all the keys?

    Method? Name is no other method as to try some tools to win 8 released for other series of laptop. The multimedia button requires installation of VAP (value package).
    Check and test the VAP to win 8 released to win 8 supported notebook series.

    > I also want to ask if there is any chance to get the TOSHIBA for Win.8 drivers for my Satellite A PC series in the future.
    As you said above; computer laptop isn t Win 8 supported model, so I doubt that you will get all the drivers Win 8 in the future.
