Satellite L100-179 lights after upgrade of mem

I want to improve my laptop with a 1 GB additional memory, I got a same exact memory that already in laptop, two slots are working properly, both cards are very well on his own,

However when the two cards are in the slot 1 and slot 2 I can not turn on.
Windows freezes and keeps trying to load but to no avail.
Tried safe mode and won't load, yet I have 1 GB and hey presto phone fine.

1 GB DDR2 667 CL5 memory card

Toshiba L100 179 running on Windows XP

Any ideas, I want to get windows 7 if need additional memory

Thank you

Hello

The laptop can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB) of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz)
To me, it seems that the two modules may not work together.

Sounds silly, but there s nothing unusual and always happens
I read in various forums and articles on these behaviors for laptop

In my opinion, you should replace the two RAM modules and should test other Rams.

PS: Check in the BIOS if the two modules has been recognized correctly and set the BIOS to default settings...

  • Satellite L100-179 sometimes short, sometimes does not

    Hello.

    My Satellite L100-179 is around the age of 9 months. A month after buying it is quite dead. Returned, and they replaced the card mother and keyboard. 4 months ago it does the same thing, but I left it for a day and she starts without a problem.

    Same thing happened this morning. Totally dead, so I disconnected and removed the battery. He tried again, but nothing helps. Then I put the battery and the socket and left for 20 minutes. It has sprung to life again.

    What happens here? Someone had the same problem? What is the cause for this? Maybe a faulty motherboard? The warranty runs out in 3 months so I would like to know if this is a major flaw.

    See you soon.

    Hello

    > What's happening here? Someone had the same problem? What is the cause for this? Maybe a faulty motherboard?

    Believe me, we can only speculate on the fault.
    But I'm sure that this is certainly not normal behavior and I definitely recommend the service guys asking for additional verification.

    Who knows what will happen in the next time. Maybe the laptop no longer starts? I this would not risk and would take the warranty!

  • Re: Satellite L100-179. impossible to activate the new WLan card inserted

    Hi all

    I bought a computer laptop satellite L100-179 wireless about 2.5 years ago.
    Last week I bought an Inter (R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection, this is an internal card!

    I installed the card and the latest drivers and the card worked properly under Device Manager
    When I tried to use the card after setting the wireless settings, I started to have problems.

    I then installed the software for the card help with the problem which has been the software Intel(r) PROSet/Wireless WiFi 12.1.2.0 that gave me a little more information about the problem. All the settings for the wifi are enabled except when I press Fn + F8 I get the following message:

    Wireless communication is disabled. Please turn on the wireless switch.

    But there is no switch on the side of the laptop just a plug of cache.
    I've ran out of ideas to get this working and would be really grateful for the help.
    My OS is XP home SP3.

    Hello

    I think that your Sat L100-179 is not extensible WLan.
    If this laptop has been delivered without the WLan card and the WLan switch does not exist, then you cannot use an internal WLan card!

    In this case, go to an external solution such as a USB WiFi key for example

    Thanks for any help

    > take off so just to confirm that I had firstley of Windows XP Professional and install original Windows XP Home Edition could came with the laptop?

    Why you want to reinstall Win XP if you want to install Win 7?
    The configuration of installation of Win 7 will format the HARD drive or the partition too much and it will remove also all the waste
    Just start with a clean installation of Windows 7 that of pretty good.

    > However someone said I could put 2 x 2 GB memory is that correct that I thought I could go only up to 2 GB in TOTAL.
    That s dependent on the chipset and BIOS if the two parties would be supports 4 GB of RAM then you could use 2 x 2 GB of RAM, but in general, you should find an info in your user manual on the RAM upgrade and what value RAM is possible

    But in my opinion, only 2 GB of RAM is possible

  • Satellite L100-179: "without W/L' mean?

    Hello

    bought a Satellite L100-179 in 2006 and is not really used.

    When we bought it we thought it had WiFi built in.
    On the bottom of it on a sticker, it says the following

    LAN MAC: 0016xxxxxxxxxx then a bar code and under this, Lan Wireless: free W/L

    Can someone explain this for me and what it means.

    I have the impression that it was built in WiFi.
    So I need a wireless card.

    Someone at - it suggestions. I know the Belkin we have for another laptop is useless.

    The Belkin will resume only in half the intensity of the signal than my Dell with built in WiFi.

    Thanks for any help

    Hi mate

    That means Lan Wireless: W/L means?

    It of very simple, this means without WLan, which means that the WLan card is not installed on this notebook.

    The LAN MAC: xxxxxx is the MAC address of the network card. It s an identification code.

  • Satellite L100-179: 2-3 weeks after recovering sound interruptions and performance drop down

    I bought a new L100-179 for my daughter for school. It worked fine out of the box, but after 2 weeks, he was so full of adware (from kazaa) that spybot/adaware teacher could not clean everything off. He could not play sound properly windows sounds or music through Media Player, iTunes or other and happened to be dog slow, taking forever to do anything. So I wiped with reinstall drive and everything was good again.

    The only things we loaded were the driver for the card netgear wireless, spybot + teacher adaware and MS Word.
    I also configured Norton Internet Security which is preinstalled.

    Everything was good for another few weeks, but then the same problem is back, same symptoms - heavly sound interruption, including the sounds of windows startup/exit and the laptop had an age to do anything - it seems to take 90% cpu for a long time to perform ordinary tasks such as opening a session same Explorer.

    I ran the anti virus, spybot, adaware pograms, I defragmented the hard drive, I have experienced wth the performance in the Control Panel/System/advanced parameters such as the virtual memory settings, but nothing brought no improvement.

    I sat and looked at the processes that are using most of the cpu and it was no matter what app I chose to run or Norton IS components. Everything seems normal, but takes forever to do the simplest things, and he could not play the sounds/music cleanly again.

    I had no choice but to wipe again using the recovery as well as before minimum programs cd.
    Hey hop - all works fine again, sound is normal and things take a reasonable time to do so - this excludes a hardware problem?
    This time we uninstalled Norton Internet Security in the case who was to blame. (application of cpu very hungry)

    This lasted 3 weeks before is exactly the same thing - she did bother load the mp3 files on this time, does not load any application or update all the drivers it just used to run word, playing music through WMP and MSN Messenger friends.
    Anti-adware programs reported all was clean, I've updated the BIOS, then his driver of Toshiba, defragmented the hard drive barely used and looked like a bunch of other parameters, but once again nothing it improves until wipe us the disc and reload from the recovery disk!

    We now only loaded the map without thread, MSWord, iTunes and MSN messenger and it has been fine all over Christmas, but we know it won't last long until he must recover again.

    I've seen others report the same problem on this forum, but not a solution that works for me.

    We have 5 laptops in the House and it's the only list this problem.

    Any ideas guys?

    Hello

    If the CPU is forced to run at high level did you check which process is responsible for this? For the moment, I sometimes have the same problem with iexplore.exe. From time to time CPU is permanent on 100% usage and just if I kill this process manually the laptop works well again.

    In general, I noticed that Symantec Norton products need a lot of resources of the laptop and the first thing I did on my Toshiba is to remove it. I recommend you do the same thing after the next recovery procedure. How to do this you can see under http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6B01NM000ER01.htm

    I can't imagine that there may be another problem. By the way L-series is laptop budget and you can't expect a perfect performance, but for every day use, the device is pretty good. Try to set it up without any applications that need a lot of resources and slow CPU activity.

    I'm sure you have many experiences for laptop and you will understand what I mean. ;)

    Have Toshiba upgrade disks used and all uninstalled programs that he asked me to do it before installing Windows. Model is L300-215 and laptop worked OK before upgrading to Windows 7. Have you tried the drivers audio and graphics of the site Web of Toshiba (old version of what was on the laptop after upgrade), but always the same question :-(

    Any help would be appreciated if someone else seen this error before?

    Hello

    When you get exactly this BSOD? Happens immediately or if you start a certain application?

    Have you checked for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager? Maybe a driver isn t working properly and you should update it.

    Also make sure that your BIOS is up to date. You can download the latest version on the Toshiba site.

    Last but not least blue screen often associated drivers or memory modules defective RAM. The latter you can check using Memtest86.

  • Satellite M115 - no sound after upgrading Windows XP to Windows 7

    Hi all

    Recently upgraded my Satellite of Windows XP to Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit. After installation, the high definition Audio Device appears in Device Manager.

    Initially, I had an unknown device listed, but that has been resolved by the installation of the pilot site supervisor password utility from Toshiba. Since then, I have experimented with a number of audio drivers without result. Does anyone have advice?

    I downloaded the Conextant 4.8.0.0 pilots, who are not out during installation by saying "Driver Installation Failed: could not find the device for this driver." So now, I'm sitting here without any noise. It's sad. Please help and I'll give you points.

    I installed the battery Bluetooth for windows ver.9 but it also does not work.

    can someone help me with this please?

    C850 satellite is not listed as a book of 10 Windows compatible.

  • Activation questions Win 8.1 on Satellite Pro C850-1EQ after upgrade

    Hello everyone!

    I face a problem after the upgrade of my TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO C850-1EQ preinstalled version of windows 8 to 8.1.

    After installation windows ask the product key to activate windows 8.1, but I don't have this activation key.

    I called Microsoft (Greece), but could not help me and told me to call Toshiba (Greece).
    The man of Toshiba technical support told me to remind Microsoft!

    In addition, he told me to check here (https://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-upgrade-stepbystep/) before starting the process. Step # 7 says "don't forget your Windows password. You may need to enter after update. »

    Now, I'm back to Win 8.

    Is there a way to learn my activation key before installation of w8.1?
    I tried to find that the use of various tools, but nobody found the key.
    In addition, after 8.1 install, a message says:

    + Error code: 0xC004C003 +.
    + The activation server determined the specified product key has been blocked.

    I trust Toshiba and I want to use the latest version of w8.1.
    I'd be grateful if someone Toshiba technician could help me with this problem.

    No, the preinstalled Windows 8 Toshiba is already activated and during the upgrade to 8.1 Win will not ask you to enter the serial key...

    Windows 8 is activated?

    Try this: create DVDs of Toshiba Recovery (or flash USB memory stick). Use the recovery media to recover the computer laptop back to factory settings. Update of the Windows 8 at the last State and then do the upgrade to 8.1 Win
