• Satellite L40-143 (PSL40E-04E00LGR) - memory upgrade

  I want to upgrade the memory of my laptop: Satellite L40 - 143 Modell Nr.: PSL40E-04E00LGR

  I can find my phone on the support site and the following information for the memory (which is consistent with the information I have):

  Standard: 1,024 (512 + 512) MB
  Max Erweiterbarkeit: 2.048 MB
  Technology: DDR2 RAM (667 MHz)

  I understand I can go to a maximum of 2 GB. I have two questions:

  1. question:
  By clicking on: 'Zubehör' I get the suggestion to buy the next memory:

  1024 MB (1 GB) memory PC2 - 4300 DDR2 (533 MHz) PA3411U-2M1G
  512 MB memory PC2 - 4300 DDR2 (533 MHz) PA3412S - 2M 51

  It is however 533 MhZ DDR2 PC4300, in my manual and on the technical page details it says PC 5300 at 667 MHZ, well? What is the good memory to buy?

  2. question:
  I now have 512 + 512 MB in the notebook. Can I buy a single module 2 GB instead of the two modules of 1 GB?

  Thanks for the replies!

  Hello

  In your case, I would like to buy RAM with the specifications of the user manual. In the worst cases it runs only on 533 MHz but I tried a little with Google and it seems that the laptop is using 667 MHz modules.
  Moreover, I can recommend high-quality Kingston memory.

  Regarding your last question, you can only buy two 1 GB modules. It is the maximum capacity for each RAM module.

• Satellite L40 - 13G has 667 memory but works at 533

  Satellite L40 - 13G have original built in 2 x 512 667 of memory but memory works only at 533, why is this?

  I flashed the latest 2.20 bios of the Toshiba site.
  I did an upgrade on this model by changing its processor,
  Original image was celeron M 440 and now is core 2 duo T5600,

  The chipset on this model is 945GM and it supports core2 duo processor.

  Now main FSB is 667 for the cpu but memory works only at 533 dual Chanel
  and it's strange because the memory is 667?

  BIOS doesn't have a Setup for memory clock.

  Thanks for the help!

  Hello

  If you have read your question, you will get a response.

  Your machine comes with a Celeron M, which has a FSB of 133 Mhz. This means that the whole machine has been designed (including the BIOS!) to work with that CPU and JUST with this CPU regardless what the chipset is capable of. This means that no matter what CPU and memory you´ve installed in your machine, the FSB will collaborate in the FSB 133 Mhz (533 Mhz), but your Coreduo needs another front bus.
  And because the BIOS is programmed to put the FSB 533 won´t never be able to do your mem running at 667 Mhz. Maybe if you can reprogram your bios.

• Satellite L40 - 18W PSL4CE: power supply Question

  Hello

  I'm on Toshiba Satellite L40-18W-PSL4CE model 00H0000GAR...

  Looks like you had some problems with the AC adapter in the past
  Don't know not if this issue could have something to do with the previous question, but the use of incompatible cards could affect on the motherboard also.

  However, if you are sure that the adapter is 100% ok, then the problem could be related to ESF on the motherboard as you see, here in the forum, we can assume that I think that only a technician of the laptop could provide more details after checking the s portable

• Need some tips to maintenance for laptop - Satellite L40

  Hello

  I have Satellite L40-170, and I have a few questions about her, since it is the my first laptop:

  1 should I remove the battery when it is fully charged and I work on the KT?
  2. If I don't need to use the battery for a period of time (2-3 weeks) I let loaded or unloaded?
  3. I realized how to cleanse the body and screen of the laptop, but I don't know exactly how to clean air vent covers?
  4. I am running XP and the temperature of the CPU, according to Everest varies between 35-55 degrees Celsius, is this normal?
  5. I just read the thread for a L40 fading paint, here in the forum and I grew up very worried, what to do to prevent such an unpleasant effect?

  So, here are my questions for now, I'd be more than happy if I get answers to my questions.

  Thank you in advance!

  CDL 1 & 2 If you work on AC you should removed the battery... But I read it is better for the battery is discharged to 40-50% and then removed... and if you do not use the battery for the longer period, leave is too loaded in 40-50%... There is another opinion - leaving the battery fully charged, but in the two most important is - battery must not be discharged to leave...

  ad.3 vent - use compressed air
  ad.4 temp is ok.
  CDL 5 it is lok as very rare problem, because I don't ' t find any post something like that

• How to upgrade video memory on Satellite L40 - 17R?

  I have laptop Toshiba Satellite L40 - 17R with 2 GB RAM and I want to upgade my video memory: 256 MB Max (384MB). How can I do this?

  Unfortunately you can not upgrade you RAM physically as your video RAM is just shared memory.

  You can try to increase the amount of RAM in the BIOS because the video RAM should be a shared memory. If you can't find some options in the BIOS, that allows to increase the amount of video RAM, then you won´t be able to update...

  To learn more about shared memory, please see the following site:
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Memory_Architecture

  I must also tell you that even if you would be able to increase the amount of graphics memory shared, it won´t affect performance not really since the system RAM is slower then a sort of RAM dedicated.

• Question about bios settings on Satellite L40 - 17 Q

  Hi all

  yesterday, I bought a Satellite L40 - 17 q (psl4ce).
  I installed win xp and update the bios to 5.40 worm. but I found a way to change the shared video memory amount. How can I access to advance bios feateres (impossible to disable/chipset features memory timings etc..)

  THX in advance for your help

  Hello

  These parameters are not supplied in the BIOS.
  Your graphics Mobile Intel GL960 is controlled by the graphics driver.

  The graphics driver controls the shared memory and automatically assigns an amount of memory if it s needed.

  Everything works automatically.

  See you soon

• Satellite L40 - 139 - after watching the video, I can't use the virtual scrolling

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite L40-139 under Windows Vista 32-bit. However, I think that this problem only applies to this model as other users are experiencing the same thing.

  I often watch videos online mode full screen (like on YouTube), but when I leave full-screen mode, I noticed that virtual scrolling stops working on the touchpad. This occurs in the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox. I can still move the pointer, but cannot scroll. I also note that the icon in the taskbar freezes, because it does not meet all the movements on the touchpad. I have the latest version of the driver installed (10.0.3.0).

  Is it possible for Toshiba to issue an updated driver for the Synaptics pointing device which solves this problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It's the first time that someone has posted this question
  I checked this on my Satellite U400 and quest that; the touchpad works ok
  There may be a registry problem with your operating system who knows
  It would be interesting to know how the touchpad scroll function works by using the new OS installed

• Satellite L300D-10B: how to increase shared memory?

  Hi, I have a noob question q :)

  I use XP Professional.
  My L300D-10B, using the Videocard ATI Radeon X 1200 Seris with 800 MB shared memory, but the work on 128.
  I have a question; How can I up to 256? There were just 800?
  I have 2 GB of RAM and I think that can up to 256, but how?

  I chek the bios, but not found anything with this stuff...
  I am from Bulgaria if Bulgarian too may have to help me or if not some tell me...

  A man told me things for some Toshiba KEY... to unlock an option in my bios I send emails but...
  And if do made 256 will have a good effect specialty for the games or not?

  It's all thanks. :]

  Hello!

  If you now 800 MB shared memory, you have quite 928 MB memory graphics.

  A dedicated video memory 256 MB upgrade is not possible because the graphics card is soldered on the motherboard and t can be exchanged. Who you mans can only increase the total available graphics memory, with more RAM.

  Good bye

• Satellite P100-286 - video RAM shared with RAM system

  Hello

  First note that I m French sorry for the bad English, I can use.

  I have a satellite P100-286 - PSPAGE (T7200 @ 2 GHz, 2 GB DDR2, Gef7900GS) and I noticed that some of the RAM (exactly 271MB) was reserved for the graphics card.

  I think that the graphics card has enough memory with its 512 MB, so I don't want to have a part of my RAM to be reserved for the Geforce. I have not found the way to reassign this small part of the system in the bios, and it is independent of the OS (I use Vista and debian and I see the booking even on memtest86) so I ve tried to flash with the latest BIOS but no change.

  Is there a way to 'recover' my memory?

  Thank you

  Additional question for fans of Linux: why can not I get sound on my laptop running Linux? :'(
  It seems that there is no error, but there is no sound even if the sound card, the "HDA Intel", seems to work perfectly, even with the latest updates of the kernel and alsa.
  I tried several Linux distributions, including Suse and Mandriva.

  Hello
  Unfortunately you can not affect the amount of memory shared by yourself since it is regulated by the BIOS/Chipset and depends on the amount of main memory that is installed.

  As far as I know that the shared memory is allocated flexible, which means that if a graphical application needs a graphics memory more then the system returns to the 271 MB shared memory. That's what I know of my machine... but I don't know, it might be different on other models.

  Otherwise I have no information on this shared memory thing. You can also see this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Memory_Architecture

• Satellite Pro C660 - 21 d - how to change the shared memory graphic value?

  My dxdiag screen says I have almost 1700 MB of video memory, but when I try to use this memory on games these games can use 256 MB...

  I tried to change settings in the BIOS, but it does not have this setting, do not know what else could cause this problem?

  Hello

  This could be confusing, but this isn't a problem.
  Shared memory is controlled by the graphics driver and the driver affects the part of the main memory to the memory of the graphics card ONLY if its required by a running application.

  The Dxdiag shows you how much RAM could be shared and value of memory in the quizzes you shared memory which is used and who is in the game right now.

• Satellite A660/07R - change the shared memory

  I have an A660/07R y at - there a way to change the system memory that is shared on this subject, he has a card geforce 350 m 3d mink?

  Hey Buddy,

  Shared memory quantity can't be changed because it will be controlled automatically.

  But I m wondering why you ask for this as far as I know the Satellite A660 with nVidia GT350M card has own graphic memory (1 GB). This memory will be the only graphics card.

• Satellite L40-137 - extension of 2 to 4 GB memory

  Dear Forum,

  I have not found any futher details to my problem in past posts.

  I have Satellite L40-137 (PSL40E) and tried to increase the memory 2 x 1 GB RAM 2x2gb.

  A datasheet, I found a maximum capacity of 4 GB, but with these two circuits, the computer does not start.
  Even if I only install one of them in one of the slots is functioning normally.

  This computer is not able to handle 4GB?

  I have also not found any information on the latest version of the Bios. I have installed V2.80.

  Any help and idea is welcome and sorry for my English.

  Best regards and a happy new year!

  Christian

  Your model of laptop can't handle with 4 GB. Max RAM on this laptop model is only 2 GB.
