Satellite A60-131: Question about upgrade RAM and HARD drive

I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 S-131, bought 2 years ago.
I want to know is it possible for me to upgrade (internal) for a superior ability to HDD 40 GB HARD drive and update my RAM to 512 MB on the rise.

Also I already inserted a 256 MB DDR RAM in the empty memory slot almost 1 year ago.

Help will be appreciated.

Hi Pranjal,

You can definitley upgrade your hard drive for a larger version. You should find that a 80 or 100 GB will work fine. You should make sure that you get you a new disc with the same physical characteristics as you existing. The following link will help you remove the hard drive.
http://irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA65/satA65_1.htm

You can also get a new hard drive with a more rapid rotation speed (5400 RPM or 7200 RPM).

I think that the maximum RAM for the A60 is 1.25 GB which includes 1 X fixed module (I presume yours is 256 MB, which means that you can install an additional module with a capacity up to 1 GB. Available in capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB of RAM modules.

Kind regards

    All the portable toshiba comes with Toshiba RAM and hard drive?

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite A50 uses DDR PC2700 modules. These modules must be compatible:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    There are different models of Satellite A50, but I think that there should be a drive HARD IDE(ATA-6) 60 GB 4200 RPM with 8 MB buffer size.

  • SL 410 Upgrade ram and hard drive

    Hi all

    I have been using the 410-2842-rk1 model Lenovo thinkpad SL for a year and a half.

    No problems until now

    I want to upgrade the RAM and hard drive of this machine.

    At the time of purchase, I had seen that I could improve up to 1 TB of hard drive.

    Please guide me if I can or not.

    About the RAm too, I need assistance (maximum limit I can update)

    Thanks in advance...

    You can switch to a 1 TB HDD providing it will fit physically. They are more hard are 9.5 mm thick but some hard drives of 1 TB are 12.5 mm thick. If you get a 9.5 mm HARD drive then it will work. Readers of 12.5 mm is too thick to fit.

    Regarding the RAM, you can install up to 8 GB of RAM, which is 2 x 4 GB.

    Hello

    I have a SP4600 and because I love this machine, I want to give him the chance to stay with me - but unfortunately, it will only work by increasing its performance...

    Is anyone here has made some experiences in upgrading a SP4600 more than 512 MB of RAM?
    I know that this machine uses PC100 SD - RAM that is available up to 256 MB.
    But someone has tried successfully to put in PC133 memory? And if so, to were the limit?

    And more: what about the upgrade of the rest, for example, the CPU or the whole motherboard?
    Currently, his heart beats with 700 Mhz (Celeron). Would it be as easy as just another graft?
    Or would it be easier to exchange the whole motherboard?
    I've never done anything like this before and I'm not sure how the rest of the system can react on these interventions, in particular because the we-board-video and sound on board...

    I would be delighted if someone could give me some positive feedback on these issues...

    Hello

    You can only use the memory 100 Mhz modules because the FSB is limited to 100 MHz.
    If you use 133 Mhz modules, they will work only at 100 Mhz.

    You can upgrade the satellite Pro 4600 until 512 MB (2x256MB)

    Other devices such as the CPU or GPU are not extensible and the motherboard may be replaced only with the same motherboard

    Finally, you should know that the laptop technology is a little different and you can't compare it with any desktop computer. You can update some parts such as the memory or HARD drive, but that s all the

    I'll try editing a xp 64 bit (curently runing xp sp3 32-BIT)

    > I'll try editing a xp 64 bit (curently runing xp sp3 32-BIT)
    Forget that don t recommend install Win XP 64-bit.
    Why? Because the Win XP 64 bit was not so popular as Win 32 bit or Vista/Win 7 64 bit and you won't find many drivers for Win XP 64 bit.
    Stay with XP 32 bit or you can change to Win 7 64 bit.

    Regarding the graphical issue;
    Have you noticed that also using the old CPU (Intel Celeron M Processor 410)?
    If this were not the case, then I guess this could be a problem between the CPU and BIOS.
    Otherwise I would recommend upgrading the graphics card driver.

  • Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM and HARD drive

    Hello
    I just got a Toshiba Tecra 8100. I do not have this small a HHD and I wanted to know what size I can get it up to. I know y thread already asked this same question, but the technology continues to go better then perhaps there are HHD I can get.

    I am also wanting to upgrade the RAM. I've seen places that sell 144pin PC100 512 MB and I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade this 2 of them or not.

    Any input would be great!
    Thank you
    Doug

    Hello!

    The Tecra 8100 was delivered with HARD s up to 20 GB drive. I'm pretty sure that this laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits ([www.48bitlba.com]).
    I put t know what HARD drive you have at the moment, but a hard HARD 40 GB or 60 GB would work in this good old classic.

    In addition, the Tecra 8100 can be upgraded to 512 MB of RAM. So that you can t upgrade your laptop to more RAM.

  • Equium A60-157: Question about maximum size of HARD drive

    Hello

    Looking to upgrade my Pentium 4 3.06GHz Equium A60-157 a bit then got a new module of 1024 MB of RAM, but now really to upgrade my 40 gb HDD to go with. I found all the specifications of the type of HARD drive, I need, but may not know what the maximum size of the disk, it is that the BIOS will recognize. I don't think that I've never updated by the BIOS and I'm looking to get a 120 GB drive. Any ideas please?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Alex,

    Most portable smanufactured in the last 5 years or so are able to accept larger hard drive capacity without problem. I am currently using a 80 GB drive in an old SA30 of three years. I can't guarantee a 120 GB drive will work, but I see no reason why it wouldn't.

  • Libretto U100: Question about upgrade 60 GB HARD drive

    Sorry about that...

    I gave a number of price and the part for an UPGRADE to my MEMORY *(NOT THE HARD DISK) * 512 to 1 GB part number: KTT3311/1 G of OFFTEK. I hope this is the correct number of memory for the U100 with part number in my previous message.

    Looking for the number of the hard disk.

    What I found was a * HD 60GB 2.5 "8 MB 5400 RPM - part of Sweety: MK6034GAX * for £29,19 INC VAT. From DABS.com
    Is that the correct HD at this price? The cost of £80 - £100 elsewhere.

    Therefore, the upgrade from a 30 to 60 GB HD that I am looking for the part number for.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    Thanks for any help, a contributor can offer.

    Hello

    You can use the modules of memory from different manufacturers. Only the specifications of memory are important! Compatible modules are DDR2-400/333 PC2700.

    If you want you can also use these modules from Toshiba:
    512 MB (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
    1024MB (PA3313U-2M1G)

    You know this site of memory? :
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=31679&ft=m&St=3

    You will also find compatible modules from Kingston.

    With regard to the drive HARD;
    Well, the price of HARD drive are different. It's not easy to tell if the price is too high or not. It depends on many factors such as; place of purchase, dealer, country, etc.

    The Libretto U100 was delivered with a 60GB drive HARD IDE (ATA-6).
    You can use every HARD disk that supports the specifications of this!

    So just google for the best offer or contact the ASP in your country to order a new HARD disk that is compatible.

  • ThinkPad R 51 Upgradation - RAM and HARD drive

    Hi all

    I have an IBM ThinkPad R51 (2887) and I wanted to improve it with 1 GB of RAM and 160 GB of HARD drive.

    But I have some doubts and need advice of experts here.

    (1) can I install RAM 1 GB PC2-5300 CL5 NP DDR2 SDRAM SODIMM instead of required 1 GB PC2700 CL2.5 NP DDR SDRAM SODIMM.

    Also enlighten me with pros & cons.

    (2) what HARD drive I should opt for a Lenovo or Western Digital brand.

    See you soon,.

    Animesh

    Welcome to the forum!

    You cannot install the PC5300 RAM in your machine, it should not physically, and if you try to force it to you will destroy the motherboard.

    Lenovo does not have its own hard drives, but tests and labels drives from other manufacturers (Seagate, Hitachi, Fujitsu,...). Any drive 9.5 mm PATA will work properly in your R51.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite A100-906: Question on the processor and HARD drive temperature

    Hey guys,.

    I want to ask u for the level of normal temperature of this laptop? I want to know the temperature of the CPU (1,2) and the temperature of the HARD drive, because I think that my laptop is overheating and it is a problem for me :/ (my temperature is now around 50 for the 2 hearts and nearly 40 for hard disk) Is this ok or? Ty ;)

    Hello

    Believe me, the 50 degrees C for the CPU and C 40 degrees for the disk HARD is a normal temperature! It's rare!
    On my laptop the CPU temperature increases up to 60 degrees C if no application works.

    But be aware that the temperature varies.
    If you run different applications on the laptop, the performance of the processor will be increased and the temperature rises.
    That is a fact.

    There is nothing wrong GUY ;)

  • Satellite L40-139: Question about upgrade Expresscard and Bluetooth

    I'm looking the L40-139, which has a spare expresscard slot.
    I also have built-in bluetooth, not a usb dongle.
    Everyone aware of the solution bluetooth expresscard.

    I could also upgrade the RAM.
    Are there problems by replacing the two 512 MB with 1 GB devices.

    Hello

    I don't know if there is already a Bluetooth Expresscard module on the market, but I ve found an interesting site about this. I don't know if this helps you, but maybe it might lead you the way to a better survey then I did: http://www.expresscard.org/web/site/cons_wtb.jsp

    Regarding memory, it shouldn´t be a problem to extend your memory to a maximum of 2 GB. You must use the modules DDR2 at 667 Mhz. This is the only point.
    Try using kingston modules because they are known to work well in almost all brands.

    Good luck:)

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.
