• Satellite Pro A200 - shows only 3 GB instead of 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

  2 years ago I had a Satellite Pro A200 as a professional laptop and it works with XP SP2, later with SP3. With 2 GB, it shows 2 GB memory in Windows - and I know it's a Radeon 7500 with 256 MB memory graphics individual, and there is no shared memory.

  I upgraded to 4 GB, but Windows shows exactly 3 GB. BIOS shows 4 GB and ATI system monitor shows 4 GB. I know that 4 GB is not possible under XP 32-bit, only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista - but on desktop systems, I've seen values between 3.3 and 3.7 GB.

  So, where's the memory? It looks like a bug - the chips of memory have two 2 GB I checked this. Because it's a company laptop I can not just switch to 64-bit XP :-(

  There's no option in the BIOS - first I thought that it is the graphics card, but mine has independent graphics with own memory so that the computer comes up with MB 2048 or 4096 after the upgrade.

  Shared memory would show about 1900 MB of RAM for the operating system as my private EEEpc.

  Hi shadowmaster_1,

  > I know that 4 GB is not possible under XP 32 bit
  Then why do you ask this question here if you already know? Moreover, it s not a limitation in XP, it s a material limitation on all 32-bit systems

  > only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista
  And who says that Windows 2003 or Vista can use 4 GB? Okay, there's an update for Vista where 4 GB correct displayed in system properties, but that doesn't make no difference. Vista 32 bit peut t use all of 4GB, it s only cosmetic improvements! ;)

  > So where is memory?
  Memory is installed on your computer, but can t be used complelty with a 32 bit OS.

  At the end of the story: If you want to use 4 GB, you need to install a 64 bit OS. On all the 32 bit OS, you can use only upward to ~3.2GB RAM!

• Satellite L30 (PSL33E) - sometimes freezes

  Hello

  I'm in big trouble with Windows XP pro SP3 & my Satellite l30 (psl33e).

  I removed vista to install Windows XP with an original CD of XP SP3. So I formatted hard drive and begin the typical installation. Problems start when installing: the computer crashes sometimes, something like 10-20 min. Finally install completes, but computer is still really slow.

  I have installed all the drivers from the Toshiba site, restart the computer between each installation. The restart time is like 10 min and sometimes driver install hangs also. After 3 hours, I was able to connect to the internet, so I've spent on the Windows Update site; Here, I've installed all the updates, but I still had the same problem, sometimes computer freezes for 10 to 30 minutes. When the computer crashes, you will see the hard drive light.

  When I start Windows boot time is long enough for a new installation, something like 5 min. The sound icon appears 15 minutes after office expenses with the LAN & wan icons minimum 30 min after. Network works well as soon the configfree icon appear (and therefore of office). I can't run HWsetup, but PC diagnostic tools don't report made by any problem with the hardware.

  I tried to check the drivers with a pilot online checking tool (ma - config.com), they were all aware, idon't have a problem in the hardware Manager. Windows is up to date.

  I checked memory with memtest, still no problem. I have updated BIOS, no change. My hard drive has been freshly fully formatted, so I don't think that's the problem. I even tried to reinstall Windows, still the same problem during installation and after. the original CD, I used to install Windows is not clean, no scratches and works perfectly on my other computers.

  I did not have this problem with Vista, but I really do not want to use, 1 GB of memory is too low. Everything is good, drivers, Windows, programs, hardware, but computer still hangs when it wants to.

  So I absolutely do not know what to do, I'm looking on google for 2 days without response. I think it's a cause of problem of Windows questions begin during installation.

  I would really apreciate help someone. Thanks in advance & sorry for my bad English,

  Pedro

  Hey Buddy,

  > I think it's a cause of problem of Windows questions begin during installation.
  Why do you think that? In my opinion, if this problem starts when installing has nothing to do with Windows because it s not completely installed then why Windows should ask this question?

  I think it s a bad hardware work if you already checked the memory with Memtest so I think that the RAM should be ok.

  From my own experience, I recommend to check the HARD drive for bad sectors using Drive Fitness Test or another HARD drive diagnostic tool.
  I had a similar problem a few years back that the boot system has been very slow and the reason was a bad sector. So I checked the disk with Drive Fitness Test that shows the bad sector. Now, I have replaced the HARD drive, installed Windows again and everything worked again properly! :)

  Nice anyone got advice or tips, thanks

  It's very strange

  The error message says something about RAID but the L30 does not support the RAID and also the RAID drivers are not necessary.

  I m a bit confused and I think there could be something wrong with the HARD drive.
  Have you tried to reinstall the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows?

  Try this format the disk using this CD, and then try again to reinstall the operating system.

  If this does not work then a HARD disk problem is possible

  I tried both options, the screen turns white and the same options appear while it sticks right in this continuous loop.

  Could it be a problem with the new HARD drive or restore disk any help appreciated

  Don t think that this problem could be related to the HARD drive, but who knows that everything is possible, but I think that it s incredibly.

  Have you checked the memory modules?
  These strange behaviors for laptop may be related to a dysfunction of the memory of my knowledge too.

  But as I have already said, we can always provides suggestions and be 100% sure what part is affected a notebook check would be needed!

  Hello

  Solution is simply ;) you must first install the Microsoft patches (patches) KB888111 and KB835221.

  These two hotfixes must be installed before you try to install the audio driver!

  Here's my advice;
  First, install * KB888111, KB835221 * and then restart the device and after this short intervention, install sound driver that was downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page.

  I hope this helps you.

• Satellite L30 PSL33E - wifi is not working after installing XP

  Satellite L30 PSL33E downgraded from Vista to XP. Everything works apart from the Wifi. Device Manager displays Atheros ar5005g card with yellow exclamation point.

  I tried the driver from this site, but windows does not load the driver as it is not signed.
  I try to reload the driver and the laptop freezes.

  I'm probably something wrong. If advice... soon

  Hello

  First you need to update the Win XP to the last State.
  Very important are the SP2 and al MS patches and fixes after the release of SP2.

  The European Toshiba WLan driver page provides a new Atheros WLan driver which is compatible with the Windows operating system. XP and Vista.
  Check this box:

  First remove (uninstall) installed WLan driver and then install the new driver Atheros WLan downloaded.

• Satellite L30 PSL33E won't start at all - the LED blinks 6 times

  Hello

  My poor mother is quite upset! Its Satellite L30 PSL33E just died.

  It completely off and now won't start at all.
  Orange light flashes six times when you press the power button.
  No hard drive, fan, screen or any other noise / activity.

  She tried without the battery.

  A kind of hardware failure, I guess.

  Any ideas what this blink code means?

  Thanks in advance,
  D.

  I put t know what the code means, but you can read it. short means 0 and 1 long

  In any case, the error code means that a hardware failure has been detected on the motherboard and motherboard replacement could help you?
  Why?

  because what is really hard to fix a motherboard for laptop very s.
  It especially not possible if you n t s have sufficient knowledge, experience, and special tools.

  I think that either you contact the ASP in your country and ask a difficulty or you'll have to buy a new laptop ;(

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop your L30 has ATI RC410MD graphics card. I m not 100% sure, but I assume that it is the shared memory card which means that certain amount of RAM will be used for graphics operations. Due to this RAM more low value appears in cell s system information.

  Hi Anthony

  First of all, I would like to answer these questions:

  > Can I get a CD of restoration for XP with this model or how can I build one?
  No, this PSL33E shipped only with Vista and the Toshiba XP image does not exist for this L30 camera

  > I brought back product XP disks for satellite pro PSM55E, but when I tried this above flaws that occurred.
  This is nothing unusual. The recovery CD Toshiba designed for other series of laptop does not work on the L30!
  You should only use specially designed for the PSL33E recovery CD!

  In my opinion all the questions that appear on the laptop are missing drivers or wrong!
  As you say all the XP drivers are available on the page of Toshiba Europe and must be installed in the order mentioned in the installation instructions!
  All patches are simply patches from Microsoft and this updates can be installed automatically by using the Microsoft Update page.

  Check this box:
  http://update.Microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us

  Notes; Sometimes, you have to restart the laptop several times and will need to run this update to install all available patches!

  Good luck

• Upgrading processor on Satellite L30 (PSL33E)

  Hello
  Anyone know if the L30 (PSL33E) supports core 2 duo?
  And if yes, someone did - he tried?
  (also, have noticed that most new bios for these online is v2.60 and mine is v2.80 again)

  Hello

  No, I Don t it is possible because of the chipset. The chipset could not handle the new processor. The other thing is:

  How do you install? You know the instructions how to exchange the processor in a mobile system? It s not the same procedure as in a desktop computer.
  I did once and I had a lot of problems, especially with this thing 'firmware', because you will need a special DOS program that writes the microcode of the cpu in the bios because the characteristics of the processor.

  This program is available only to technicians from toshiba and I didn t have managed to get a copy of this program.

  So just forget your idea and benefit from my experience (and Don t waste money and time :))

• Vibrating and sound crackles on Satellite L30 PSL33E

  Help, please. I have the laptop above, and the sound is driving me crazy, whenever I try to play music distortion, vibrating and cracking which makes it completely ruins the pleasure to try to listen to music, it seems worse, when the hard drive light flashes quickly.

  The noise problem is not only limited to play music, the sounds of windows system is just as bad.

  Also is it supposed to be this intermitant "whoosing" sound like waves on a shoreline of sea from the region of cooling fan?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I m an owner of the Satellite L30 with Vista. It s my second notebook.
  I can listen to my mp3 without any problems! Everything works beautifully.
  The laptop is a little slower with Vista, but it's ok.

  One question; Have you noticed the same audio issues if you are playing an audio CD?
  It would be very interesting to know if the sound is bad if you listen to mp3 files stored on the HARD drive.

  Did you check the sound options? In the control panel in Vista, you should find the Realtek HD audio manager.
  It s also installed on my laptop.
  Here, you can set the different sound effects, speaker setup and the default format.

  I would recommend this review!
