Satellite A500-1F4 - how to put 8 GB of RAM?

I upgraded my Satellite A500-1f4 running under Windows 7 64-bit 4 GB to 8 GB of RAM. Now, the BIOS reads the 8GB [2 * 4 GB - bus 1066 MHz], but windows never started, just hang and display white and never changed. When I take off the * memory and install original a 4 GB [2 * 2 GB] it works fine. I even tried to use only 4 GB [1 chip memory - 4 GB] but also even emit and read on the BIOS but windows never started.

Here is the RAM I used:
4 GB PC3 - 8500 (1066 Mhz) 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM (CKS) by Hynix
I've bought from amazom:
http://www.Amazon.com/4GB-PC3-8500-1066Mhz-DDR3-SODIMM/DP/B001LGAKS4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronic...

Can you help me?

I need to upgrade memory up to 8 GB, kindly advise me

Hi waelagina,

To me it sounds like that your new modules are faulty or not compatible with the computer. I mean if the old modules are working properly, the RAM slots are ok and Windows is correctly installed.

You should test the other modules. Try the Kingston modules or order prétestées modules with a service provider authorized by Toshiba.

Sorry, but everything that s what I can say at the moment.

    I just got a Satellite A500-1f4.

  • Satellite A500-19W: How can I activate button light button mute?

    Anyone know how I can activate the switch Illumination in a mute button?
    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500-19W, with win 7 installed.

    I have 8 keys as usual (eco, CD/DVD, play, previous, next, illumination and sound - and +)
    The light switch controls all the LEDs on the laptop and I find it useless. Is there a way I can turn into button mute?

    I found a way to control through toshiba Deputy-> optimize-> support button, but I do not know what data to enter.
    When I choose the illumination button under the name of power button, I have to fill the description, option and target path field for the mute button. Any idea which must be entered in these areas?

    Thanks in advance

    To be honest, I think that it is a very useful option, because in a certain situation you can toggle light very quickly and do not start multiple tools to achieve this.
    Please note that you can use the mute box very quickly by using the FN + ESC key combination.

    In any case, I ve experienced follow:
    After the installation of own added value package I pressed the button to light for the first time and I had small window with the Toshiba button assignment tool message you pressed the button has not been configured.
    I ve set my preferred option and got the following with window
    + Are you sure that you want to set the button for this function? Once you set the button, you can not change this default unless you reinstall Button Toshiba Support. +

    So I think you know what you need to do now and try to change it.

    Hello

    You must press the button on / off LED, which is part of the multimedia buttons of Toshiba. This button must be placed in the line where the other buttons such as play, pause, volume up and down are placed.

    So the light must be turned on. Then, you can set the backlight on the keyboard to Auto.
    Then the keyboard would hit any key.
    When you use FN + (keyboard sign (Z)), keyboard backlight turns off / Alternatively

    I advise you to try to install the Nvidia drivers, you must use the pre-tested driver Toshiba as it has heat protection. But anyway if you want to install it, step this link

  • Satellite A500 - 19 X - which is the maximum supported RAM?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 - 19 X with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition. It came with 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHZ RAM. Can anyone let me know the maximum supported RAM for this hardware configuration and OS.

    Kind regards
    Vivek

    Hey Buddy,

    You can answer this question yourself!

    I checked the specifications of this laptop on the Toshiba site and you can upgrade the RAM 8 GB. Therefore, you (1 066 MHz) DDR3 RAM and two 4 GB modules. They should be the same manufacturing to avoid problems of incompatibility.

  • Satellite Pro L - how to get the 2 GB RAM recognized?

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum and I cannot get my laptop to recognize kingston DDR2 2x1GB two identical cards.

    I first had 512 MB card and replaced, which, with the cards Go too 1 booted up and system show only 896 MB so asumed 1 card was defective. 1 remove maps and 1 left in the slot in the bottom, rebooted and still 896 MB, rearranged 1 with the other card 1 GB and initialized and same 896 MB or something. If the two cards into the lower slot but not work together so I thought then perhaps the top slot was not working.
    I tried both cards 1 GB by themselves in the top housing and both show 896 MB.

    So I then tried the original 512 MB with 1 the1GB cards and weak a system here is reading 1.37 g of ram. My question is how can I get both the Rams from 1 GB to start working so bed 2 GB system?

    Hey Buddy,

    Before you start a lengthy discussion, you should post which model of laptop, you use. Maximum use of RAM depends on the motherboard, chipset and BIOS.

    But now that it sounds like that the modules are not compatible to your laptop.

  • Re: Satellite A500-02J - how to disable the internal speakers?

    Hi all

    I use Satelite A500-02J, but when I plug in external speakers, my internal speakers still work, how do I disable it?

    Hey,.

    Normally the internal speakers will be cut automatically if you connect headphones or external speakers. At least on my laptop it of the case

    Hmm I put t know what OS you have installed, but you should check the audio settings. Generally you can cut off the internal speakers if you have connected an external.

    Alternative, I recommend that you update the audio driver. You can find the latest version on the official website of Toshiba.

    I hope that helps! :)
