• Satellite A500 - 1 GR - upgrade memory RAM but 3 GB of usable system memory

  I have upgraded my laptop to 8 GB (2 * 4 GB) ram. A 64 bit version of Windows 7 shows that I have 8 GB of memory, but there are only 3 GB of usable system memory. How do I use the 8GB. My Bios version is 2.00. In the Bios, I have not found the option 'enable the memory remapping feature '.

  This option doesn't exist in the BIOS and everything is controlled automatically. The BIOS update will not change.
  As much as I know about laptops Toshiba you cannot force for laptop to use a set amount of RAM.

  Hey Buddy

  Have a look here:
  Memory for Toshiba Satellite A100-570
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=23658&ft=m&St=3

  You can use the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM bars!

  The pc2-4300 Rams are the same as PC2-4200. It s just a marketing gag PC2-4300 are PC2-4200 modules that can be overclocked by some versions of BIOS PC desktop

  However, you must take the PC2-4200.

• Satellite P300-1AE - card upgrade memory

  Hai,

  I own a number of satellite P300-1AE PSPCCE-00K003BT.
  The specifications of the product on the memory of this laptop are:
  Standard: 4 096 (2 048 + 2 048) MB
  Max at: 8 192 MB
  Technology: DDR2 RAM (800 MHz)

  I had the following problem:
  I'm not able to find the specifications to improve my memory from 4 GB to 8 GB.
  I have download some programs of + capital + for example, they said the follow-up:
  My max memory is 4 GB
  Installed current 4 GB
  Places available: N.A.
  DDR PC2-6400
  ("our system scanner could not make a complete match")

  On every single site, I'm going to purchase memory upgrade like kingston or crucial... I can't find my P300 laptop-1AE between the other toshiba, I can't also chose a more general option for the P300.

  Also on the toshiba site I found after a long search: 4 GB memory PC2 DDR2 (800 MHz), but then again... The P300 or more specific to my 1AE P300 is not in the list compatible models.

  If at this point I got very confused which memory I need to buy to upgrade for a total of 8 GB of RAM... I don't want to waste money to buy the bad...
  I even started to think that I could have more than 2 Bank for memory slots in my laptop? I started my BIOS and all he said was "total memory: 4 096 MB", so this has not helped me be...

  If concrete...
  Should I replace the cards of 2 x 2 GB (installed) 2 x 4 GB cards? or do I have to buy 2 x another 2 GB and put in 2 other still empty slots? Or do I only 2 slots?

  If I solved this problem... those who do I need to install? What are the specs?

  I hope that my question is not too complicated, I really hope someone can help out me!

  Thanks in advance!

  According to specification for laptop, your laptop can be upgraded up to 8 GB. Toshiba recommends the use of the 4 GB Ram module compatible with PA3670U-1M4G part number.

  My advice to you is: buy high quality RAM and you will have no problem as a lot of other people who want to save money and report subsequent here on compatibility issues. You can check this thread and you will find that most of them have problems with the essential modules.

  Buy RAM from Kingston of high quality and you will have no problems.

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop you can upgrade your laptop up to 32 GB.

  Compatible RAM modules followed part numbers:
  4 GB DDR3-1600-PA5037U-1M4G
  8 GB DDR3-1600-PA5037U-1M8G

  I highly recommend to use these compatible modules tested and 100%. I have very good experience with the modules of Kingston. They cost a little more, but they are recognized correctly and function without any problems.
  Use the reference numbers and check the specifications and prices.

• Satellite L450D - 13 X - upgrade memory, move from Win7 32 bit to 64 bit

  Hello
  IM new to this forum and need help. I have the laptop mentioned above and wish to update the memory, but I have not the slightest idea of what type to buy. When I checked the specifications of the laptop, that's what he said; "
  Standard system memory: 2 048 MB

  technology: DDR2 RAM (800 MHz)

  Is someone can you please tell me what this means?

  Also how one I would go to switch from windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit. Would really appreciate someones help on that.
  Thank you

  This means that your laptop works with 2 GB of RAM. You can extend to 8GB and make faster and better. I ve checked specification and found the info you can use 2 x 4 GB for a maximum amount of RAM. Compatible 4 GB of RAM has PA3670U-1M4G part number.
  Click on the part number to order new modules.

  I ve also checked download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and your laptop is fully supported for Win7 64 bit. With other words, you need to install own Win7 64 bit version on your laptop. After having done that, you need to install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities one by one.

  We can help you with this.

  For me it is 8 GB in two 4 GB sticks.  I am running Windows 7 32 bit in a Dell Optiplex 380.  Of course, I would appreciate the opportunity to use all my memory.

  Thank you

  It is a very old thread, but... in order to use all of your memory, you need to install a 64-bit version of Windows.   About 3.25 GB is the maximum that can be used by a 32-bit system.

• Question about upgrading memory Satellite M55-S1001

  can you please recommend what to do? I want to make my satellite m55-s1001 run faster please let me know, what do you recommend: 512 MB or 1 GB of memory? I'm not familiar with updates so please help!

  Hello

  First of all, if you want to go for fastest laptop, you should start with simple things.
  Try to defragment the disk, turn off the background process is not necessary, etc.
  Upgrade memory will the powerful laptop and of course a lot more quickly.

  To my knowledge the Satellite M55 should support the bars of memory 2 x 1024MB, and I also recommend the use of 1024MB instead of 512 MB module.

• Satellite A660 - upgrade with keyboard backlight

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660-141. Initially, it was without backlid keyboard, but I recently bot a replacement with feature backlit for my laptop, but when I connect all backlit do not work... Can someone help me to activate it? All the world has the same replacement?

  http://1drv.Ms/1grM9M8

  Hello

  I have this model of laptop, but AFAIK this light in the BIOS option is for function buttons. With this option, you can enable/disable illumination for these buttons.
  In my opinion it has nothing to do with the keyboard.
  Mobile phones with keyboard backlit have BIOS option for keyboard only and you don't have it so I think that it is not supported by the BIOS and upgrade is not possible.

• Satellite A660: After upgrade to Win 8.1 BSOD is displayed using the keyboard

  Dynabook i7 3D laptop A660.

  OK; so I updated my i7 3D Dynabook to form 8.1 Windows (x 64) Windows 7 (x 64), and now the laptop restarts everytime I start to touch the keyboard.

  Other wise works perfectly.

  It took me two hundred hours to understand that I was typing on web sites usually when this re-boot occurs. And I could not remember how or why the computer restarted.

  When I press the numeric keypad 'more' sign, I get the BSoD immediately. But there are a few presses of the numbers on the keyboard so he can do the same thing.

  I.E.
  If I press 1, 2, 3, its ok.
  But
  If I press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, the laptop gets a BSoD and restarts.

  I also installed automatic software (mouse) for a Microsoft mouse, that I was going to use. and I deleted in the "System Properties" after the problem has arisen; but there is no change.

  Whenever I tap on the number pad (especially the plus sign), the PS stops with a blue screen of death BSoD.

  Any ideas?

  Hi Roger,
  My knowledge the 8.1 Windows isn't supported by Satellite A660 because there is no driver Windows 8.1 special to this series of portable, but even if these drivers have not been released, is not a big problem to install and run the Windows 8.1 on this unit.

  I m wondering how you installed the 8.1 to win on this laptop?
  You upgrade Windows 7 to 8.1 Win or were you running a fresh install of Win 8.1?

  Here's a nice page of Microsoft providing some FAQ about update for Windows 8.1
  [Windows 8.1 update: FAQ | http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8]

  In case you have done an UPGRADE to 8.1 Win, you can use Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant to check if your programs and devices are compatible with Windows 8.1.

  I would be also interesting to know if the same BSOD would appear if external keyboard would be connected to the laptop.
  When using the external keyboard would cause NOT of BSOD, I guess internal keyboard is faulty and could be the troublemaker.
