Satellite L500-1Z1 - not initialize with 8 GB of DDR3 RAM

I bought two DDR3 4 GB modules, however, when I install both, the laptop does not start. When I reinsert the module 2 GB with one of the 4 GB modules, it works and saves 6 GB. Why it will not work with two 4 GB modules? Must I update the BIOS? Should I change the BIOS, and if so, what needs changing? Help, please.

Hi MAKnoetze,

To be honest I have don t think that someone can help you if you n t post your model of laptop.

Maximum RAM capacity is a function of your laptop model ;)

    Hello

    I think you should first update / reinstall the driver for the webcam / software.
    You will get the webcam software / driver for Win 7 of the Toshiba UE driver page:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    before you would be stars the webcam driver installation, I recommend you to uninstall the pre-installed software (Control Panel-> programs and features)
    Then restart the laptop and install the new downloaded drivers

  • Satellite L500 is not enabled switching

    Hi all

    I'm new to this forum. I got a Toshiba Satellite L500 attempt to fix and the fault is that the laptop has been stopped normally and now will not light.

    I checked the power adapter that is giving 19.25v. I have stripped the laptop down to the motherboard and checked where the DC plug is soldered to the motherboard and who also reads the 19.25v with the adapter plugged. Can someone suggest a possible cause.

    First impressions are a failure of the motherboard, but other ideas are welcome.

  • Satellite L500 - could not find the SRS audio device

    At the start of my Satellite L500, a message appears saying - could not find the device audio compatible srs. This has happened when I upgraded to windows 7.

    Can someone tell how to fix this?

    Hello

    I have the Satellite L500 also but I couldn't t notice this problem. SRS audio device that has something to do with the audio driver, I think.

    What do you think to update this driver? You can get it here:

    Before installing the latest version I recommend you remove the old first. Do a restart and install the most recent.

    Hello

    Hmmm strange
    First of all make an update of the BIOS, that this should be done if a newer version is available and you have any questions.

    You said you did a update check WLan if you used the latest version of the driver
    Here you will find the latest WLan driver versions:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    You can also check WLan card settings in Device Manager-> properties-> advanced settings WLan card.
    The same WLan channel must be used for the local network and router WLan card.
    Check if the MAC address filtering is not enabled in the settings of the router.

  • Satellite L500 - battery not charging

    I have a Satellite L500-13W. This was bought to the Portugal, it is not listed on the website of the United Kingdom.

    I have a problem with the battery. It will not charge although it will run when plugged in. I read on another blog that an update of the BIOS cured the problem on another model. I found an update on the Portuguese site, but I do not understand the language, especially when it comes to my laptop.

    I was wondering if anyone was aware of this problem and the cure and also suggest how I would go about updating the correct BIOS

    Hello

    First of all, you can download all the drivers on the European driver of Toshiba download page where everything is written in English:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Here you can also search for your model, as far as I know Satellite L500-13W belongs to the PSLJ3E.

    More info on BIOS update: this update is a bit complicated because it could destroy your ROM module so before making the update, close all programs running also your antivirus and firewall, disconnect Internet and make sure that you are logged on as administrator. Do not stop the laptop during this procedure.

    If the BIOS update work doesn t it seems to be a malfunction of the equipment. Maybe your battery needs to be replaced

  • Satellite L500/00W - gray screen with lines appeared twice

    Hello

    2 weeks ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite L500/00W and today I was reading something online that this grey screen with lines to come...
    He did so twice already... I do worry...

    This could be the cause? How should I do? This happen to anyone else?

    Thank you
    Lily

    Hello

    I m not L500 owner so I can't tell you if that happened or not.
    I A200 and U400 for my company and I didn t have shown such symptoms in the past

    He signed strange s if the display changes the brightness and display vertical lines.
    It might be a problem of display or something with the graphics card.

    If you see this new symptom then I would recommend connecting the laptop for external monitor to check if the same would be visible on the screen 2.

    If the same would be seen on 2nd screen there is a big chance that and GPU would be affected.

  • Key Windows Win7 on my Satellite L500 is not readable

    Hello

    the first excuse my bad English, please. :)

    I bought my L500-208 years ago with Windows7 64 bit.
    My activation key is more completely on the bottom, but its not really readable. I've always had the Bill includes Bill of the license key (Windows7 64 bit).
    How can I get my activatino return key. Is it possible to get it?

    Thank you for your helpp

    Greetings
    Dave

    Hi Dave,.

    You should know that the OEM key that you will find at the bottom of the unit belongs to the Toshiba Windows preinstalled system. This key cannot be used with a clean Microsoft Windows and my experience system even if this key is readable, it would not work for the activation of the system.

    The system which is already preinstalled Toshiba (or a part of the recovery image) is already activated. If you only use the Toshiba Recovery disk to reinstall the system.
    In case you want to install the system using the Microsoft disc, you must use the key provided with this disc

  • Satellite L500 will not load beyond the screen "Welcome".

    Hello

    Last night, he went into a temporary profile and he got a message saying "another profile cannot load at this time please try again later".

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    The error message is not known to me and also looking in google didn t get advice.
    Maybe your Windows operating system is confusing upward.

    Have you tried to boot Win 7 in safe mode?
    Try this. Restart your laptop, press the F8 key.
    In advanced startup options, select the option called Mode without failure.

    If the laptop does not start Safe Mode, try the last good known Configuration option.

    If this n t help, try to fix my computer. Here, you can choose between different settings.
    Who could solve that problem is HARD drive recovery that helps you define the notebook to factory settings. But it also means that your disk should be formatted!

    So be aware of this!

  • Satellite P100-160, not compatible with the latest games graphics card

    My laptop is the Satellite P100-160, which has a 945GM Express chipset is not able to play the latest games. I understand that the graphic card cannot be replaced. So, which eliminates this option...

    Recently, another solution I've heard of is an external graphics such as the Asus XG station...

    either this...
    http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20070611/MSI-luxium-offers-external-graphics-solution-for-notebooks/

    However these devices large need an express card slot, which I'm not sure that this laptop has even?

    If it's not there ways to add to my laptop? And if not, what other options are available to me that may help my laptop to face the latest games?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The Intel graphics card is simply not powerful enough to handle the latest PC games.
    You think so, why all the hardcore gamer don t buy computers laptops, but during the CPU clock and buy new graphics for PC s Office cards?

    The laptop is not comparable with the desktop PC. It's just different technology according to the limitations of hardware upgrade on your laptop, you can spend only the HARD drive and RAM.
    You cannot add also all other ports for laptop. It is not possible :(
