Satellite Pro 2100 - works does not with 2 sticks of RAM

Hi all

I've been with sticks of 2 x 512 MB RAM from a reliable supplier that reassures me that this RAM is compatible with the SP2100 laptop.

With the two sticks installed, as soon as the machine is running, I get no display and 5 beeps (1 long, a follow-up of 4 short beeps). Each stick of RAM work well individually, and I also tested slot A and b. Thus, the 2 sticks of RAM are working alone and work the two slots. It seems that this machine has a problem with 2 sticks of RAM.

The ACPI BIOS is up to date (v1.40). I also tried the old 256 MB stick with one of the new sticks of 512 MB - same problem. I tried this as the supplier of memory mentioned this Toshiba may take only 1 GB maximum.

Any ideas why two sticks of RAM does not work?

Thanks in advance and amicably.

James

Hello

You are right. The laptop must be able to manage memory 1024Mo. (2 x 512 MB)
Due to your description, I think that both modules are compatible, but cannot play together.
In my opinion, you should use two modules with the same specifications

Try to use the modules recommended by Toshiba;
PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

  • Satellite Pro A100 - it does not recognize 4 GB of RAM

    Hello
    today I purchased two 2 GB RAM Corsair DIMMS (DDR2 - 667 mhz) for my Satellite Pro A100.

    After that I updated the BIOS it detected the 4 GB of RAM, but the balance of RAM on the boot prompt checks only 3 GB of RAM. So I can use only 3 GB of RAM (I use ubuntu 64 as an operating system). When I try to RAM into another laptop, it works perfectly. A memtest86 + says check: no error. When I plug in a dimm in the laptop, it is correctly detected as a 2 GB dimm module (tested two DIMMs into the two slots on motherboard)

    Anyone else seen this behavior? For me, it looks like a limitation or a bug in the version of the BIOS.

    (The processor supports 64-bit (core2duo t5500))

    Hello

    What Satellite Pro A100 you have exactly?
    As far as I know that some models can only be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM.

    It's really not easy to say what is the reason for this because I m confused on the subject of what the BIOS recognize the 4 GB of RAM, but not the boot prompt.
    I'm not sure that maybe the modules are not compatible with your laptop. You can test other modules?

    3. then I pressed the start/power button on the front for 60 to 70 seconds
    4. I have connected the feeder and then to new press button start / stop at the front for 60 to 70 seconds

  • Satellite Pro L50 - A - does not function keys

    Hello

    I just bought the L50, but the function button did not work. I tried to reboot, reinstall the utilities, but it did not help.

    I couldn't find the "restart flash card" also. Can anyone help?

    Thank you!

    > I just bought the L50, but the function button didn't work

    What system do you use or what system was preinstalled on this laptop?
    As far as I know a few L50 - A Satellite Pro have been pre-installed with Win 7 and Win 8 DVD could be found in the package

    The fact is that Win 7 and Win 8 are two different systems and different Toshiba tools are needed to get the FN button work.

    Your comments would be appreciated.

  • Active state with menu manual not working does not with child pages

    I created a horizontal menu manual on my master page with two links (at WORK and about me). I did them manually as it was the only way I could work out how the style and the menu items to distance as I wanted. I created an active state that works for the main page WORK and the about me page.

    However, I have four child pages under the work, but when you click on one of them that the active State for labor (a green line under work) does not appear. When I return to the menu options to try to "solve" the problem and choose "All pages" all child pages appear in the main menu I want and does not solve the problem. I chose manual that I could put the line to show that under the term of WORK and not all field.

    Here is my Web site to demonstrate the problem: www.robertgreens.com

    Any help to fix this would be appreciated with gratitude!

    I managed to solve this problem (with the help of Live Chat Support). I needed to create an autour work and provide a 'normal' State which resembled the active state, so when you click on the pages of the child, it looked like work page parent menu (with a green line) below. This meant that I had to duplicate master page and do the same (deletion of the green line in the menu of work) for the words Me page. And now, everything looks the same: www.robertgreens.com

  • Satellite Pro L300 - touchpad does not work

    Hi all that I need help urgent because it drives me crazy. First of all, I use XP PRO. My laptop is fairly new, only around the age of 4 months, I had no problem with it at all. I formatted my laptop yesterday and reinstalled all the drivers that I downloaded here:

    http://www.ISD.Toshiba.com.au

    and everything works fine except the touchpad. I have already installed shared, utilitarian toggle the touchpad Module and I have the latest BIOS installed and reset all default settings and I made sure that the touchpad is enabled in the BIOS, but also pressing FN + F9 to enable during Windows.

    I installed the latest touchpad driver Synpatics I downloaded from the homepage of Synaptics. But for some reason any, that it does not work, I don't know what is the problem here. My touchpad worked before I formatted my laptop, it worked fine and has never had any problems. Will you please tell me what is wrong because I need to use my touchpad sometimes as well, so I can't use a mouse all the time.

    Hello

    > I installed the latest Synaptics touchpad driver that I downloaded from the home page of Synaptics
    I think that you question refers simply to the driver for the touchpad that is missing or incorrect.
    I put t know how it works on Toshiba notebook Australian, but the Toshiba European Satellite Pro L300 units needs touchpad different drivers. some use the Toshiba touchpad driver and some units need a driver for the Synaptics touchpad.

    In your case, I recommend this controlled again.

    By the way; My touchpad is always disabled so that en external mouse is connected.
    It is parameters that control it. Please check in your touchpad properties too!

  • Satellite Pro M10 - infrared does not work properly

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro M10 and my infrared does not work. I downloaded the zip file with the drivers from this site. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it always happens in the Device Manager under "unknown - SMC IrCC - Fast Port infrared (IR Module: HP). (with an exclamation point). When I look at the properties it says under device status:

    This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

    Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

    However, under Driver Details is said:
    C:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\smcirda.sys

    I extracted the zip file in my home directory of c:\downloads\infrared.
    whatever I do, it does not now. It worked when I bought it, but I have too many things on the system for a new installation. Which brings me to another question. Is it possible to re - install windows without losing all your data, etc.? I did it with other systems (95,98) Windows. But it seems that the Toshiba recovery disc means any wiping.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    If your HARD disk contains two partitions and you have saved the data on a second you can reinstall the operating system on the first partition using recovery DVDs.

  • "SHIFT" on the Satellite Pro C660 key does not work

    G ' Day,.

    I have a little problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro C660.
    Unfortunately I had to remove the keyboard and thus dislodged the
    fragile plug to connect to the computer.

    The 'Shift' key refused to work since. All other keys work as usual.
    The only problem is the 'Shift' button does not.
    I tried to gently move the plug but made no difference so now have to
    Use a USB keyboard.

    Can you please help with suggestions for this problem?
    Thank you for your time.

    See you soon,.
    Sunrap.

    I really put t know what you think when you know that there is no connection for each unique key, but for the entire keyboard.

    To be honest I ve changed keyboard several times but never noticed this problem.
    Are the two SHIFT keys off function?

  • Satellite Pro U400 - BT does not work after installing Win 7

  • Satellite Pro C850 keyboard does not work properly and opens several programs

    My satellite pro C850 1HE keyboard intermittently stops working correctly, and begins to open programs, for example, by pressing F will open the file search, C open computer this kind of thing

    is there a permanent solution to this problem?

    This is not something to do with installed programs is not something to do with the browser settings.
    restarting the computer works in a short time, but that is a long time, it's really annoying because I use this for work and study!

    > is there a permanent solution to this problem?

    The question is what causes this problem? Is it related hardware or software related issue?

    Why n t connect a USB keyboard just to check if the same would happen?

    In case the USB keyboard would work fine, I guess that the internal keyboard failures and the solution would be a simple replacement of the defective part.

  • Satellite Pro M30 - WLan does not work

    My Satellite Pro M30 laptop is about 5 years old and is a refurb. Until yesterday, my wireless connection was very good. Although my wireless connection is running with high speed and it is connected, I now cant get on the internet without using the ethernet cable.

    It is certainly a problem with the laptop itself.
    A framework has changed (perhaps with a function key?) or the internel wireless card packed.

    Can anyone suggest anything I can try with the laptop first before you buy an external wireless card?

    Thank you.

    I don't think there is that you can do.

    The wireless network card appears correctly in Device Manager.
    Make sure that the wireless network card is enabled correctly (FN + F8).
    There may be a problem with the WLAN antenna. Who knows?

    Anyway, if you can't get this to work once again use small USB WLAN adapter and be happy.
    To be honest, is not bad idea because new USB WLAN glue can work with G WLAN or even N. The original WLAN card in your notebook is, I guess, old A/b.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A300 - Webcam does not work in Windows live messenger

    Recently bought a Satellite Pro A300, with integrated webcam. However, when I try to use the webcam in Windows live messenger it comes up with the following error messages.

    Now, the camera is not enabled, and Messenger works normally.

    Thank you

    Folic

    When you get the message if another program uses always the camera.

    So, try to disable the webcam software and other e-mail programs in msconfig.
    Restart the laptop and if you want to use the webcam software you need to start the first webcam software.
