Satellite L30-101 will not boot after memory expansion

Hello

We have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101 with 512 MB memory

We also bought 2 X 1 GB-compatible modules to extend the memory to its max.

When we installed the two new modules the laptop won't boot.

We tried to install one at the time and both work individually. I also tried 1 X 512 MB
and 1 X 1 GB, which also worked.

It seems that we are not the only one with this problem!

1.5 works much better on le.5 but it doesn't seem to be a shame to have the autres.5 but its unusable!

I think that you have incompatible modules for mode dual channel.
What RAM do you have?

A module is maybe corrupted and so he doesn t run in mode dual channel.

You can check the module with a program like Memtest86: [www.memtest86.org]

  • After downgrading from Vista Satellite L30-101 does not read DVD

    Hey,.

    Like many people, I didn't like Vista and so returned to the use of Windows XP.

    In doing so, I lost a lot of things like the ability to watch DVDs and sound, most of these problems fixed so easily by downloading the drivers from this site.

    However, even after the DVD driver download I can't read DVDs yet.
    When you try to play through Windows media player I get say error message that I did not have a MPEG-2 decoder, in the section web site help, it suggests where to get one, but you have to play for each other.
    After having one in the first place, I don't think I should buy a new one.

    If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appretiated if they could let me know.

    Thank you

    PS I have a Satellite L30-101

    I think you have a codec problem, but I'm not sure. Maybe you should install the latest version of Media Player and codec Xvid, DivX and AC3. These are free (google it!). Or you can try alternative software, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD, you can try the demo versions.

  • Satellite L30-101: could not connect to Orange Livebox via WI - FI

    Hi all

    Bought my first laptop today, a Satellite L30-101 with Vista. I finally managed to connect to my livebox after filming of encryption and the Vista firewall. Now, I turned as well on I can not connect. I get a msg of error saying 'the settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements of the network. I tried to repair the i.p address and tried to change the security settings in the properties.

    Ideally, I would like to completely remove the existing profile then the Connection Wizard may start. This is probably very simple, but I am new to wifi and Vista and would be grateful if anyone could offer advice.

    Concerning
    Dave.

    Hi again,
    Following the previous, I have more the error msg. I changed the Livebox WPA security only and on the L30, I put the WPA-personal security type and TKIP encryption.

  • Satellite L30-PSL33 does not illuminate after hibernation

    Hello

    as I said in my previous post, I also have a problem with the Hibernate. The thing is that when I leave to transform a hibernation on this more later sometimes not loading Windows - the load bar coming to an end and then it stops 'thought' so I have to stop it and start it...

    The operating system is Win Xp Pro SP2 on Toshiba Satellite L30-PSL33. For example, it loads Windows hibernation 2 or 3 times, and then after that it will not load the operating system.

    Please give me an advice how to fix this...

    Thank you

    It's not easy to say what s may be wrong because like you say so this problem happens sometimes and that's why he of not easy to reproduce this error.

    I m an owner of a Sat L30. I use Vista on my L30 and received no similar problem.
    I talked to some people, and also read on some sites Internet computer that this error could be related software.
    One question; what OS came preinstalled on this notebook; XP or Vista?

    Maybe you have updated the operating system on your laptop to the last State.
    Please also check if the third-party programs 3rd n t assigned the wrong operating system.

  • Satellite L30-134 will not accept 2 GB of RAM

    I looked at my laptop and it takes a maximum of 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, I tried two different pairs of sticks of 1 GB and the two blue screen that loads the OS.

    When the sticks do not go it simply ignores the second run, but I can't seem to accept 2 GB.

    BTW I have upgraded to a core duo processor, don't give me no problem.

    Known fixes for this problem?

    Hello

    Your laptop can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM. That s is definitely possible!
    You can use 2 modules of memory vivid x1024MB.

    If you would taka glance at this page, you will find information that you must use the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules.

    I presume that you always get a BSPD because the RAM modules are not fully consistent or simply malfunctioned.

    How about a dead motherboard?
    Failure of the motherboard may be the reason for this

    It would be the worst case since the motherboard is some of the most expensive and deeper cases there s no need to replace it as a new laptop would be more expensive

  • Satellite L30: reader will not read CDs or DVDs

    In the evening, I was recently testing on various operating systems on my laptop and eventually decided to return to Windows Pro.
    It was working fine until a couple of days, but then the hard drive started making a rattling noise, like R/RW head stuck.

    Now it will not read CDs or DVDs, can someone please help and tell me if it's a failure of the software or hardware, and the best way to fix it?

    Hello

    The drive problems are not uncommon and may still occur.
    For the most part the purpose of calibration training does not work correctly.
    The objective must be calibrated in the correct position until the player will read or write to the media.
    This fault is not reperable and especially the drive needs to be replaced!

  • Y430A can not boot after memory upgrade

    OS: VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32-BIT
    CPU: P7350
    MEMORY: HYNIX DDR2 667 2GB

    I added a 2 GB Kingston ram on the connector 2

    First of all, it can be the start and connect to windows,

    but after a while, the system of suspension or the SCREEN BLUE DEAD shows,
    He cannot even get into the bios screen when I reboot it

    but it can be boot up if I remove and reconnect the memory

    Sometimes the machine can be restarted and works correctly, except if once I turn it off

    I tried to exchange the slot 1 and 2 with 2 x 2 GB,

    and also replace with 2 x 256 MB Hynix memory.

    but it does not work.

    The new memory is not faulty or is not compatible because it works very well if it autonomous.

    In short, if I install 2 x 2 GB memory, the system may start only once.

    Is it the BIOS problem or it's my mistake?

    Please help and sorry for my bad English.

    Thanks in advance.

    This is perhaps due to the incompatibility of the modules of RAM, working together. If Yes, than to change only the modules will help.

    Also looks like Y510 behavior when it was a fresh model - Y510 all were not able to manage two RAM modules. Update the BIOS helped. For now no new BIOS for Y530/Y430, so will have to wait.

  • Satellite L30 (PSL33E) does not recognize second memory slot

    I'm trying to upgrade a L30 for a friend. It came with 1 memory module 512 MB PC2 - 4200. I tried to add a 1 GB PC2-5300 SODIMM in the second housing and it does not pick it up. I replaced the 512 with the 1 GB and he found. Put the 512 in the second slot, still sees the 1 GB but not the 512. I tried 2 x 1 GB and he sees one of them. It reports 894MB as I guess he uses 128 MB of video memory.

    I've updated the BIOS, checked all the settings and I don't see why it woun't recognize the second memory location.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    The second location is defective. It's the only plausible explanation

    But as far as I know Toshiba recommends the use of these modules;
    512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
    1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

    Maybe you should test notebook with such 1 GB module to make sure this isn't a problem of compatibility of memory.
