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.

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

Greetings

  • Satellite Pro 4600, memory upgrade

    I have twice had problems trying to upgrade memory to my Satellite Pro 4600, so I decided to ask directly if Kingston KTC-SO133/256 MB is compatible with this machine?

    It's the SODIMM I'm about to try next, but I have to pay for it first.

    Problems were that the SODIMM modules is not compatible with the wonderful piece of memory or it won't work at all with Toshiba.

    Is there an availave list what type of bars of memory are compatible?

    Sorry, I can tell you that I use the Original from Toshiba 'PA3069U - 1 M 25' memory (its a KIT of MEMORY of 256 MB)

    works great!

  • 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 Pro 6000 RAM upgrade problems

    Apologies for multiple - originally, I put this in the Satellite rather than the Satellite Pro series Forum.

    I have an old Satellite Pro 6000 that has 256 MB of RAM in it, and accordingly, as he tries harder sound, it is not the fastest machines.

    I want to increase the RAM to 1 GB, which I believe is the maximum and 2 sticks of memory of 512 MB PC133 CL3 3.3V, which I think should work fine.

    However, I tried to install either as a pair or separately, with the 256 MB of RAM, and when I put the memory in, the PC resolutely refuses to start. The lights of power lights, but it is only it works.

    I put the original 256 MB of RAM in the slot, and it works fine.

    I'm something wrong or missing something?

    Any help appreciated gratefully.

    Hello

    > Am I something wrong or missing something?
    Of course, you use the memory bad or is not compatible!

    Initialization not after an upgrade of memory is a common behavior if the modules are not compatible or do not work.

    You can upgrade the memory to 1024 MB (2x512MB) max and page Toshiba should run these modules:
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)
    PC133 128 MB (PA3085U - 1 M 12)

  • PC133 is suitable for Satellite Pro 4600 memory upgrade?

    Hi all

    I'm looking for an extra 256 MB memory module for my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600. The specs say one module of memory PC100 is necessary, but I was wondering if the PC133 modules would work as well. If so, are there problems with the mixture of the modules (PC100 and PC133)?

    Thank you for your attention.

    According to the information on the site of very useful memory module, it should be possible to use the PC133 144 pin SODIMM modules.

    I found this info on this site:
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5778&ft=m&St=3

    In addition I don't recommend mixing the different modules. To my knowledge the lower speed module will decrease the performance of the memory. The two modules will work with the operation of the lower module.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 memory upgrade

    I don't have a model of toshiba satellite pro 6100: PS610L-04NVN of Singapore and it currently has 256 MB of pc2100 memory installed and I am wanting to install another 256 so I have 512, but now I would like to know:

    1. If I get the memory of a vendor of kingston, it'll work with this laptop, it is has 2 different types of memory, because there KTT3311 (333 mhz) & KTT3614 (266 mhz)?

    Hello

    The memory module manufacturers are not very important. But of course the modules of memory "no name" performance not as good as other modules such as Toshiba or Kingston.
    Module properties are very important. This unit uses PC2100 DDR - RAM modules.
    I found compatible modules:

    PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
    PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
    PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

    If you use the same modules and only the speed is different so the laptop will use support at reduced speed.
    In your case a module supports and other at 266 MHz 333 MHz. The laptop will support at 266 MhZ.

  • Satellite Pro 2100 memory upgrade

    I want to update my sp2100 with additional 512 MB RAM, but the online manual and online technical specifications contradict each other.

    The online manual says (on page 1-3) for the celeron
    memory models max is 1 GB (CSD) and for the P4 512 MB (DDR) models
    Online status product specifications up to 1 GB (DDR)
    When I take a glance on the extensions page 'by 'model' on the site of toshiba 512 MB modules are available for my laptop.

    My laptop: SP2100 P4-1700/256 / 30 G, 15XT, CDW, LM
    I guess it's the same as 'Satellite Pro 2100 P4 - M 1.7GHz/256MB/30GB/15"/DVD_CDRW/L/XPP sort' since that looks like mine more

    Maybe 2 same-capacity modules need to be installed?

    THX in advance

    Same user as KinGcoBRA.
    @the mods here: Sorry, I had not noticed that I registered here. now, I have therefore no more double accounts. KinGcoBRA can therefore be deleted.

    The FAQ just taught me that 1 GB is the maximum, but still there is the contradiction the manual online...

  • Satellite M50-165 memory upgrade problem

    Hello
    I realized that I bought a model that is only sold in Saudi Arabia. This is the model of Satellite M50-165. I want to improve the memory, I bought memory from EBAY who said it works in M50 sieries, but he did not.

    I read all the manuals in Toshiba, tried to contact by phone, they said that they do not have this model.

    in any case, I'd appreciate any help in that matter, as I am looking to upgrade the system to its full potential, I guess 2 Giga.

    This description of the model:

    Hello

    you bought the bad RAM. You need DDR333/PC2700 memory for your machine (which is expandable to 2 GB). If you're lucky, then return/sell memory and buy a RAM with the specifications described above.

    If you still have some questions then just ask.

  • Satellite A105-S2051 memory upgrade problems

    Sorry for the huge block of text...

    This is not my computer, but a problem I need to fix nonetheless.
    I use a Toshiba A105-S2051 and I want to upgrade memory.

    When I have the original 512 and a 1024, it works perfectly, and I can move them to a port without problem.
    I also have a PNY 1024 that I can replace the other 1024 with and it works perfectly even in the two ports, but when I put the two 1024, it does not work (starts and stops quickly and repeatedly).

    Similarly, even if I let one of the 1024 in but remove the 512, computer does the same thing.

    Is the computer laptop for any reason + need + 512 to work?
    This is no logical sense in the PC world, but I have no idea on laptops...

    Hello

    Just a question: last chart shows an empty slot.
    Can you please check if the laptop works with all modules placed in this slot machine only?

  • Unable to boot CD on a Satellite Pro 4300

    Hello world

    I recently tried to install Ubuntu on a Satellite Pro 4300.
    The problem is that I can't boot any CD, except those made by Toshiba. In the BIOS, I select the option "CD-ROM", but it goes straight to Windows.
    I also updated the BIOS to the latest version, but the problem is still there.
    Then I tried to create a linux floppy with Smart Boot Manager but when I select the "CDROM" line, I always get error 0xAA.

    I don't think it's a hardware problem: when windows was installed, I was able to read any cd.

    Is there something I forgot to do?
    Thanks for the help!... Sorry for my bad English... .and!

    Have you tried to test with some other bootable CD, for example Microsoft WXP CD facilities?

  • Strange problem with the module memory series Satellite Pro 4300

    I have a laptop Toshiba satellite pro 4300 series with 64 MB onboard + 64 MB Module and I want to upgrade my memory to 320 MB. I bought two ram of 128 MB each. I removed the 64 MB module and I put a 128 MB module into the slot (A) one, but I saw that the total memory is 128 MB again.

    I removed the module again and I put the second module in the connector (A), but I saw that the total memory is 128 MB again. After that, I put the two modules in my notebook (Slot A and slot B) but I see that the total memory is 192 MB. This means that it recognizes each module as 64 MB as opposed to 128 MB. Dose anyone know why this happens?
    And what do I do about it?

    Thank you.
    [email protected]

    Hello

    Well, I put t know why this happens. It seems that the 128 MB modules are 64 MB modules. I know that it of strange but I have only this explanation. You are 100% sure that both modules of memory 128 MB?
    In my opinion, you should check the bars of memory if they have 128 MB.

  • HYB39S256800T-8A module works with Satellite Pro 4300

    I can buy this SODIMM Infineon HYB39S256800T-8A, and I heard that they only work with Toshiba laptops.

    They have been tested with Tecra 9000 and no problem, and with no computers Toshiba there are any errors.

    I have Satellite Pro 4300, they will work with it?

    Maybe someone a piece of support for a Toshiba for this memory.
    I asked Infineon, that they do not have the specifications for answering my question.

    Thanks for any help.
    Winyl

    You will be very happy if someone has the same laptop model and quite the same module of RAM. Buy and test it with your laptop. If it won't work not return. End of the story.

    The person who wants to sell you this RAM should be able to give a list of compatible laptop models. In any case, I recommend you to use compatible Toshiba or RAM Kingston modules. Both are tested and you'll get a high quality product.

  • Satellite Pro 4300 series installation of Windows 2000 Professional

    Hi guys!

    I was given a 2nd hand Satellite Pro 4300 notebook PC series of my brother. Its shows be quite slugglish (over the start time of 20 minutes). I think I'm a format and a new installation of windows 2000 (windows 98se running sound) may be useful. However, I don't have the original recovery disk, although I own an original copy of Windows 2000 Professional.

    Would it not be possible to do a full format and install windows 2000? Or would I meet problems, for example with driver problems, later? I know computers cell phones can be a bit of a nuisance when it comes to facilities OS!
