Satellite M40X-230 memory upgrade

Upgrade memory

I have a satellite M40X-230, most of the documents indicate that it is expandable up to 2 GB of RAM.
On the underside there a memory expansion slot which will have a 1 GB SODIMM, giving me a total of 1.5 G bytes of RAM.

Is it possible to add the other 500 MB. (I'm experimenting with Virtual Machines and data bases)

In case anyone is interested!

There is a module in memory of 500MByte located on top of the motherboard. Unfortunately this is mounted internally in the case.
It is located below and slightly to the right of the center of the keyboard.
However, the casting of the cover of the laptop cover electronics and so it is not accessible by simply removing the keyboard. the top cover should be thrown which also consists of removing the screen.

Otherwise, the module is mounted in exactly the same type of socket than under the machine.

  • Satellite M40X-230 turns off randomly

    Hello

    My satellite m40x-230 is about 2 years old. Recently, power has been cut out completely Mid-use - for example I watch a movie and suddenly everything power to cancel - it is connected through the ESA and the battery is connected when this happens. If I unplug the AC and the battery and wait a while, then ac and battery back, I can to come back on and it works very well for a while.

    Can anyone suggest what the problem please?

    Thanks in advance.

    Not easy to say with certainty what the problem may be but let us start with an innocuous explanation: I think that this happens due to overheating. Obviously the material temperature has reached the critical level and the laptop turns off simply without any warning.

    It is because of the material. Because of this, the first step, you can do is to clean your laptop. I guess that after two years, there is a lot of dust on the inside and the air flow is blocked.

  • Satellite M40x-230 - display driver lost

    Hi, I'm new here.

    I've had this laptop model Toshiba Satellite M40x-230 for about 4-5 years now. The hard drive is full so I thought I would like to remove some unwanted files. I did 2 things

    (1) uninstall some programs that I don't use anymore
    (2) use Disk Cleanup to delete unused files.
    I thought I knew exactly what I was remove, but when I did, I found that the display went bizarre.
    When I checked, I found that it was showing only a default driver. Worse still, when I went in the trash to try to undo what I had done, he has no files inside.
    I tried to do a system restore, but it does not work.

    I went on the site of Toshiba and sought the drivers for my laptop. There are 2 options. I downloaded all of them and tried to install. The first one (Intel) said my system did not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. The other is (ATI) said the length of the specified directory path and the name of the installation folder exceeds 88 characters and to shorten it?

    Please can someone help me get my display back to how it was. It of usable but looks terrible and base.

    I know I'm a model so please be gentle with me.

    Hello

    Try this one:

    ATI

    or
    Intel

    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/display-20080416165832.zip

    I don't know if your laptop is equipped with Ati or Intel, that's why I posted 2 drivers.

  • Satellite M40x-230 - YouTube videos is not continuous

    Since the purchase of the satellite M40x-230 in 2005, he was never able to play online or off connection permanently in the video, the video stops to load a few seconds to a minute, about 10 to 20 seconds. In this case you were using itunes, windows media player or winamp.

    I downloaded the latest version of Adobe flash, but I'm not sure that there is an error with the laptop itself. The operating system has been reinstalled several times but the problem remains. I don't have this problem on a new netbook from toshiba.

    The information system are:
    Windows XP SP3 operating system,
    Intel (R) Pentium (R) M processor clocked at 1.86 GHz,
    512 MB of RAM.
    Graphics - unknown

    I would appreciate any information that might lead to a solution for this.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I put t know which videos you look, but perhaps that you have to install a new codec pack. Just use Google to find these codec packs.

    In addition, I recommend VLC media player. It s a freeware player that can play most audio and video files. It s freeware! :)

    Is the case please let me know.

    Hello

    I suppose that the left or right hinge becomes tense and so the lid doesn't it stay the right position.
    Unfortunately, I n t think you can resolve it the other side.
    I think that the hinges need to be replaced. Try to contact Toshiba service partner in your country.

  • Satellite Pro 4300 - memory upgrade problem

    Hello

    I know that the issue has been already discussed several times, but it seems that none of the solutions or suggestions posted earlier apply to my situation.
    I recently bought an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300. The laptop has a slot filled memory of 64 MB module of the system's total memory was 128 MB.
    Because in my opinion, the system has worked to slow down, I decided to buy an additional memory module. I bought 128 MB - module TOSHIBA PA3005U k and placed in the slot B

    I was very surprised when I found that, after the upgrade, Windows showed that the total memory is 192 MB.
    When I put the 128 MB in the slot module is and the old module of 64 MB in the slot B - the surprise was even bigger, given that windows showed only 128 MB.

    I first thought that the slot B is defective, but in this case, it would be impossible to get in the first place the 192 MB. Then I thought that the new module of memory was either defective or it was 64 MB instead of 128 MB, but this option is also likely, according to my observations. Furthermore, I checked with EVEREST software system and it recognizes the new module as 128 MB module, but does not see the old 64 MB module.

    The situation is quite strange. Does anyone has an idea whay happens?

    Kind regards

    Sebastian

    To my knowledge, the 4300 Satellite Pro can be upgraded to 320 MB max.
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5769&ft=m&St=3

    64 MB module which was fitted with your laptop should not be removable.
    So in this slot ONLY this 64 MB module could work properly.

    I know it's strange but the computer world is sometimes strange ;) you know :D

  • Satellite S1800-204: memory upgrade

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite S1800-204 memory which I just try to improve, two sticks of Kingston, 64 MB PC100 144pin SODIMM (like the one provided with the laptop) to two sticks of Crucial 256 MB PC100 144pin SODIMM. The laptop will post more, and even if the power light is on it will not start. The screen remains black. The manual of user leads me to believe that it is capable of supporting up to 512 MB and I can not find all the features that say the new memory should not be working.

    Can someone help to solve my problem or tell me where I have gone wrong? I hope we have not bombed just from all this money for nothing.

    Spanky

    Hello

    Yes. I also think that you should check if your modules are compatible.
    I found in the official document that this device supports these modules:

    PC100 256 MB (PA3069U - 1 M 25)
    PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
    PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)

    As far as I know that you can upgrade this laptop up. 512 MB memory SDRAM (2x256MB).

  • Scrambled screen & colors is not consistent on satellite M40X-230

    Hi, I have a M40X-230, a few weeks ago, I started to see a garbled screen where colours were not consistent and the screen looked as if she was chopped vertically in 3 and all three parts were in and out of the other mixture.

    It lasted about 10-15 minutes and he persisted through reboot. However, this would not happen whenever the machine has been used. After another week or so when the machine is started, even the Toshiba splash screen is cut as described above, this continues when the config in the BIOS (press F12 at startup).

    The machine is able to boot in safe mode, but the same problem occurs and when an external monitor is attached the problem is visible on the attached screen as well.

    Anyone seen this before? All the tips, I think it's my graphics card or perhaps the LCD, but really not sure.

    Hi mate,

    This sounds like a hardware malfunction cleary. If you already have the symptoms to the toshiba logo, then I would recommend you to contact emergency an ASP for a checkup of material because this error cannot be resolved with an update of the bios/software.

  • Satellite Pro L10 Memory Upgrade

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro L10 Celeron M Processor 360 1.4 GHz / XP HE / 256 MB / 40 GB / 15TFT / DVD-CDRW / OneNote. I wanted to upgrade the RAM, and I noticed that in the manual it says:

    Before installing a new module memory 512 MB do not forget to remove already installed memory modules.

    Does that mean that I can not install a 512 MB module and more the 256 MB is already a total of 768 MB?

    Thanks for any advice,

    Luis

    Hi Luis,.

    The specifications of your laptop indicates that it can accept up to 1 024 MB of RAM. If you have 2 RAM slots, so you can use any combination of modules of RAM as long as you do not exceed the maximum quotes. Of course if you have only 1 RAM slt then you must remove the original 256 MB module before insert you new 512 MB a.

  • Satellite A60-217 memory upgrade

    Hi, I have a Satellite A60-217 (Intel Pentium IV HT 532, 3.06 GHz), and I want to upgrade the memory by adding a 512 MB of currently installed memory (256 MB with 64 MB shared memory for video card).

    I tried to install a S3 + PC2700 DDR SODIMM 512 MB module, but the system does not boot to the top: it emits a long whistle blow and then stops automatically. If I remove the module, the system starts properly.

    The manual indicates the speed of the memory supported is only PC2100. Is this true? The module is maybe defective?

    Thank you

    Hello Stefano

    Of course, the added module is not compatible and makes trouble. I found the info, this compatible module PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51).

    Google a bit and you will find lots of information on the module with the PA3312U - 1 M 51 part number.
