  "Hello,

  Here, someone who can help me? Thank you!

  Hi Dieter

  As much as I know there is no option to turn RAM slots. If the RAM is the right of a y (compatible) shouldn't be a problem.

  I don't know that you are trying to use but is a module that is compatible with this unit:
  PA3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB
  PA3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB
  PA3069U - 1 M 25 256 MB

• Satellite Pro 4600: when I use WEP, I can't do any connection more

  Hey everybody,

  When I connect my Tohsiba Satellite Pro 4600 via map of build-in network without WEP wireless to an AP, there is no problem, connection is establische and everything works fine.
  When I use WEP, I can't do any connection more.
  Is there a solution to use encryption WEP 128 bit on a portable Thosiba Pro 4600 with build-in WIFI network.

  Thanks in advance

  What card WLan do you use?

  As far as I know the laptop must be equipped with LAN Wireless / WiFi Standard: 802. 11B ORiNOCO Mini PCI card.
  This card supports WEP 64 or 128 RC4 security.

  Everything looks like you WLan card doesn't support the same standards of security as your WLan router. You must understand that this WLan card is an oldie about 7 years.

  I think that the best solution is to use external USB WLAN which support the latest encryption standards

• Satellite Pro 4600 - how to extend RAM memory

  I want to increase the RAM in my old Satellite Pro 4600.

  -Someone could advise me which of the (actually existing) types of RAM cards are suitable?
  -The laptop has a maximum memory limit, or I can go up to 1 GB (for example)?

  Thank you.

  Of course, there are some limitations to upgrade!
  You can upgrade the memory on this laptop to max 512 MB (2 x256MB)!

  You can use PC133 144 pin SODIMM as mentioned modules [here: | http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=28447&ft=m&st=3]

  Memory locations must be placed at the bottom of the unit.

  -Turn the computer
  -remove the screws which fix the plug memory module cover
  -slide you finger under the hood a lift it off.
  -mount the fittings of modules in connectors of computers at a 45 degree angle, then press the modules carefully to ensure a good contact
  -push the module down so it lies flat. Locks on each side will engage in the place to fix the module.

  All that... easy s ;)

• Satellite Pro 4600: I want to upgarde the RAM

  I want to upgarde the RAM on my satellite pro 4600. It currently has 128 MB of RAM.
  Anyone know what kind of memory card should I buy and how to install it?
  Should what size I go?
  I've been in the PC World and they weren't much help.
  Any ideas / information gratefully received.
  See you soon,.
  Bob.

  Hi Bob,

  The following link will take you to a page containing all relevant information on memeory upgrades for your 4600 (including part numbers.

  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5778&ft=m&St=3

  I think that your device has two memory slots, and I assume that you currently have a home in use with 128 MB of RAM installed (the 4600 had 64 MB or 128 MB).

  RAM modules are available in sizes 64 MB, 128 MB and 256 MB.

  The maximum that you can install is 512 MB (i.e. 2 X 256 MB modules. The amount that you need will depend greatly on what applications run you as well as what operating system, but the usual recommendation is a minimum of 512 MB for windows XP (at least for the earlier OS).

  The RAM modules are normally accessed from the bottom of the unit. Normally, there is a cover with 2 or more screws. Check you manual for the exact location on your device.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 4600: Question about upgrade RAM, CPU, motherboard

  Hello

  I have a SP4600 and because I love this machine, I want to give him the chance to stay with me - but unfortunately, it will only work by increasing its performance...

  Is anyone here has made some experiences in upgrading a SP4600 more than 512 MB of RAM?
  I know that this machine uses PC100 SD - RAM that is available up to 256 MB.
  But someone has tried successfully to put in PC133 memory? And if so, to were the limit?

  And more: what about the upgrade of the rest, for example, the CPU or the whole motherboard?
  Currently, his heart beats with 700 Mhz (Celeron). Would it be as easy as just another graft?
  Or would it be easier to exchange the whole motherboard?
  I've never done anything like this before and I'm not sure how the rest of the system can react on these interventions, in particular because the we-board-video and sound on board...

  I would be delighted if someone could give me some positive feedback on these issues...

  Hello

  You can only use the memory 100 Mhz modules because the FSB is limited to 100 MHz.
  If you use 133 Mhz modules, they will work only at 100 Mhz.

  You can upgrade the satellite Pro 4600 until 512 MB (2x256MB)
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=28447&ft=m&St=3

  Other devices such as the CPU or GPU are not extensible and the motherboard may be replaced only with the same motherboard

  Finally, you should know that the laptop technology is a little different and you can't compare it with any desktop computer. You can update some parts such as the memory or HARD drive, but that s all the

• How to access the BIOS on Satellite Pro 4600 settings?

  Guys,

  I received a Satellite Pro 4600, unfortunately this laptop has 2 and a half proceeding on this issue. The first is MS2000, then XP then an incomplete installation of XP. When I start the laptop, it asks which OS I want to use. I have a legal copy of XP that I bought and I want to reformat the computer laptop and put on a new install of XP, the problem is how to enter the BIOS to change the settings to boot to a CD?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Steve

  Hello

  First of all you n t need to access the BIOS to boot from the CD.
  You can simply press the F12 key immediately after the laptop has been powered.
  It would show the available boot options.

  Alternatively, you can press the C button that would automatically allow the CD/DVD drive as the boot source.

• How to remove the Satellite Pro 4600 BIOS password?

  A friend of mine recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 (PS460E-03371-EN). Unfortuately the password of the BIOS was set before the purchase and would like to know how to reset it.
  The machine will not start now.
  Any help as to the location of the BIOS battery or work around this problem will be appreciated.

  Hello

  To remove the BIOS battery will not help. BIOS by removing on laptops is more complicated than on desktop computers. BIOS by removing the procedure depends on the laptop model and it is not the same on all models of laptops.

  A lot of people get the laptop with password and to provide an accurate description how do this in the public forum is not good idea.
  Have you tried to contact the person who sold this laptop and ask BIOS password?

• How to open the Satellite Pro 4600?

  Tea fell on my satellite pro 4600. Anyone know how to open it?

  Hello

  It seems that you don't have much experience with these procedures.
  I think that it s not a good idea to do something if you n t know how and what.
  Visit the simple computer dealer and especially that they know how to disassemble these devices.

  But I put t know if it s profitable. The laptop is old and maybe you need a new motherboard. These pieces are not cheap and I think that it is best to buy a second hand laptop. Maybe on eBay?

• Satellite Pro 4600: How can I get my wireless to turn on?

  EIS,

  Sorry to ask the most basic questions, but I just inherited a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600, on the back side of the laptop, I have the following information:
  CEL 750 / 128 / 20 GB / 14T

  On the left side of the Panel, there is a wireless - switch this switch, how can I get the built in wireless to work please?

  Thank you.

  Hi mate,

  Firstly: are you sure that you have a wireless card installed? This is the first question and perhaps the most important of them. Not every Satellite 4600 has been bundled with a wireless card and a switch wireless on the left side says nothing.

  I know it s hard without technical knowledge, but what you can do is download the drivers from the Toshiba Drivers and Downloads 'Archive' wireless, turn on the wireless switch and check if some materials are recognized. If Yes, then welcome to the wireless world. :)

  Would like to hear some comments from your part Thx.
