• Upgrade RAM not recognized by satellite A110

  I have a satellite A110-137 Partnr. PSAB6E-00Z013N5

  I use win7 on this computer because it is more stable.
  I upgraded my memory to 2048Mb yesterday, but the computer will not register more than one chip 1024Mb.

  I tried to use chips in different locations, but no response. It's ok if I insert one 1024 + 512 which is to different brands of chips but ok.
  Then what should I do?

  On the side of the download, there is an upgrade of the bios, but only for Vista.
  Please help me I'm lost in this mater.

  Is that what you saw in the BIOS settings?

  Are you sure you are using the compatible RAM modules?

• upgrade RAM not recognized by BIOS

  I have a pavilion dv6t-3100 Entertainment series that I had upgrade the system RAM to 8 GB to 16 GB.  The system startup stops but so too demand placed on the system.  I see that the BIOS didn't recognize the 16 GB but running system and another diagnosis tools to see all the 16 GB.  My question is how do BIOS to recognize the 16 GB of physical RAM?  Should I Flash a BIOS newer or even force him to re - initialize or is it a key sequence / start that will solve this problem?  I hate to give up the extra RAM without a fight.  Thank you, jwillar

  All indications are that the system tops out at 8 GB of RAM. You try to stuff 20 pounds of sugar in a 10-pound bag. It is not entirely the BIOS but also material of the motherboard which imposes the limit. It wouldn't do any good to Flash the BIOS, but it can't hurt. I wouldn't try to do it with 16 installed concerts; who would be in trouble. It starts at 8 GB and I mean 2 x 4 GB not just remove a module.

• Satellite L20-153: How do I get my modem works!

  I have the satellite L20-153 with a 'AC97 datafax softmodem with smart CP. I tried for 2 days so he can compose up to my ISP. I removed all DUN connections, removed the modem and downloaded all the last modem, sound and other drivers from the toshiba Web site. I still get "No dialtone".

  The modem does not seem to pick up and I don't hear the tone with the speaker (speaker volume is up). If I uncheck "wait for the tone" in the modem properties, I hear it dial, but then it will beep as it waits for a response.

  I also tied using the Connection Wizard in XP to choose another ISP, but the same thing happens. Are there channels additional init that I need to put in or something?

  Sorry for the long post!

  Hello

  Go to the properties of the modem.
  There you should find the Modem tab. In this tab, you can disable the option called Wait tone before dialing.

• Satellite Click Mini L9W - keyboard not recognized B

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Tablet PC Satellite click Mini L9W - B. The keyboard is not recognized on this subject.

  I tried to clean the connector, restart the Tablet several times, tried to load with or whitout the keyboard, but nothing works!
  I do not think that the problem is with the battery, as I've seen on other topics as the tablet doesn't detect even the keyboard when I plug. The Tablet does not detect the keyboard battery.

  So, if you can give me advice or assistance to solve my problem, I would appreciate :-)

  He has no communication with the keyboard at all? (No battery detected, the touch pad and the keyboard does not?) There must be a link related question, I guess. If it was a driver related issue, then the battery would at least get detected)

  If you want to void your warranty, you can open the Tablet and keyboard dock and check that the Ribbon connectors or / and remove and replace the Ribbon connectors connectors in

• Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E: Touchpad not recognized using Win XP SP2

  Hi all

  I just got a Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E, which is preloaded with Vista. It is also comes with a 'product' XP SP2 recovery CD I had to use because of some software work with Vista compatibility issues.

  Unfortunately, everything works well except the Touchpad, which is not recognized by XP at all (without entries, error or not, in the Device Manager).
  The "Recovery" of XP CD installed the drivers of the Alps and the Toshiba Touchpad utility (for turning on and outside), so it seems that it is supposed to work.

  It is activated in the BIOS (which I have also flashed to the latest version, just in case) and is enabled in the software. I also rebuilt the laptop using the "Recovery" CD (the touchpad is not also recognized by starting on the CD "Recovery" which I guess uses WinPE).

  It does not work on Vista, so it shouldn't be a hardware problem.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  Andy

  Hey Buddy

  Well in your case I would recommend going to the Device Manager and remove the touchpad in the list of devices.

  Then visit the European driver Toshiba page, choose your model of laptop, Win XP OS and download the driver for the Alps Electric and Synaptics touchpad.

  Install both drivers, reboot the laptop and check if your touchpad will work correctly.

  Good luck

• Satellite M40X - DVD drive is not recognized

  I bought a new satellite pro m40x yesterday and today everything worked fine but today the dvd and cd rom is not recognized more. I don't know about cell phones, what can I do? I don't want to return it to Toshiba and wait 4 weeks to get it back.
  My son needs the notebook the week next to the school.

  Hi Christine,

  Please check in the Device Manager to see if there's anything showing against your CD-ROM drive. If your CD-ROM is always displayed, you should be able to run the process of troubleshooting against it to check for possible errors.

  If your CD-ROM is more listed and then launch the 'Scan for hardware changes' option to see if it detects your CD-ROM.

• Satellite L20-100: Nero does not recognize the UJ - 841S

  Hello
  Our computer is Satellite L20 - 100... He has a special CD burning program Sonic Record and it does not crush. I want to use Nero or Alcohol 120, but the computer does not support them.

  Is there a special driver or something that can allow the use of these programs? Or how to use Nero on my laptop? I'll be happy if someone can help me...

  Thank you

  Hello

  Nero it works without any problem on your laptop and you don t need no additional driver.
  But maybe the different burning applications have a bad influence on the only burning software. Try to use only a single application.

• Satellite L20-153: Question on the use of the power supply

  Hi eweryone,.

  I just bought a L20-153, and I don't know if I can have the powersypply of cable connected to the computer constantly, as I use it as a home computer.
  Is it dangerus to have the power cable plugged in, even if I don't use it for a day or two?

  As the battery must be installed on the computer, so that it works, will be the battery damaged penalty if I have the cable permanently connected?

  If anyone here knows sometings of these things, it would be a great help.

  Hi Stefan

  There s no risk of having plugged power cable but it s not advised to have the AC adapter plugged in if you n t use the laptop.
  If the AC adapter is connect the battery will be charged each time.
  You must remove the battery when the AC adapter is connected. So, you can increase the battery working time.

• Satellite A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

  Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
  I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

  I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

  This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

  Hello

  It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
  Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?
  Check if the IDE controller is enabled and the Boot section. The CD/DVD drive should be selected and activated.

• Question about the installation of the driver on Satellite L20-153 PSL2XE

  Hi, a friend gave me his system Satellite L20 to install XP Pro SP2 (System was originally shipped with XP Home). After installation of XP Pro SP2, I tried to install the driver from the chipset of the page of the driver from the site, but I kept receiving a message saying the driver chipset could not be installed because my Windows installation was not complete. After visiting the page of the driver again and looking at the installation order for the L20 I was shocked to see so many microsoft updates and patches which supposedly must be installed before I install the drivers on the system.
  What I want to know is... what the precise order of installation? I'm having trouble getting all the specified updates and patches needed for the operating system...

  Any advice or ideas would be graetly appreciated.

  Thank you

  You are right. Satellite L20 comes with Windows XP Home edition at home but with the SP2 version. There is no difference and all the drivers can be installed with Windows XP Sp2 Pro family edition. I really don't understand what you're doing wrong.

  After installing WXP Pro boot up your laptop and install all the stuff of Toshiba following the install Instructions document and the exact order of facilities described here. You should not install all patches from Microsoft. When you are finished with the drivers, tools and utilities to just install activate Microsoft update and install available updates automatically.
  Be careful on SP3. Many people here report on the difficult problems after installing SP3.

  Before that, read this interesting thread:

• Satellite L20-182: fan is not working properly - intervals of one minute

  When I turn on the computer about 20 minutes is quiet. The fan starts like a hurricane, slows down and stops. It lasts a few seconds. The fan works this way on a regular basis with intervals of one minute.
  Is it possible to turn the fan on a continuous work in slow motion?

  Hi Dominika

  I put t believe that your laptop can be so dusty in a few months and believe me there everything is ok. I know that cooling fan noise is sometimes annoying, but unfortunately there is not much to do.

  I'll be honest to you. Satellite L20 is low budget and the unit is configured very simply. For most Toshiba units, it has preinstalled Toshiba intelligence tool and it is possible to change the method of cooling. On your device, it is not possible.

• Satellite L20: Problem reading DVD - not synchronic sound and image

  Hi, I have a toshiba satellite L20 1.4 GHz CPU, 512 MB of ram which is only 4 months old. The problem I have is that when I try to play a DVD the image is nervous and the sound is still slower than the picture and can't seem to catch up with her. I have updated all drivers that needed updating, tried to change the video settings and tried different DVD software but it makes no difference.

  I've only tried the DVD a few weeks ago so I think it was always like that, it seems to play CD OK, although he struggles a little bit a few times when you start playback of the disc if I move the cursor.
  Does anyone know if this can be cured or I have to send again.

  Hello

  This problem appears on the original DVD's?
  I know that a similar problem could occur with some movie files or ripped DVD s.
  In this case the software that was used for the DVD copy was responsible for these issues. Sometimes after installing some codex, the problem has been resolved.

  I heard that this show on the Windows Media Center Edition has been resolved by updating the MPEG Encodeder.
  Try to update this application.

  I recommend that you test some DL media.
