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 A120 - I want to upgrade the RAM

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my Satellite Pro A120 Model No.: PSAC1E-05C00VEN

    I'm getting conflicting reports as to how this can actually take, some sites say a 1 GB maximum per slot max so 2 GB while most of the others say max 2 GB per slot

    I was hoping you could advise me.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Hello!

    Your Satellite Pro A120 is equipped with the Intel 945 GM chipset and so you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM.
    Only models with ATI chipset can be upgraded to 2 GB and I think this is the reason why some sites say that it can be upgraded to 2 GB and others at 4 GB.

    However, for the upgrade of RAM DDR2-RAM PC2-5300 (DDR2-677). You can buy 2 GB modules for a maximum of 4 GB.
    But don t forget that only a 64 bit OS supports 4 GB of RAM.

  • Satellite Pro A60 - I want to upgrade the RAM

    I bought a second hand Pro A60 and would like to increase its memory. I never have, so I need a little guidance. First of all, the system tells me that I have 2 x 250 MB of RAM. I understand that these are not removable, but I could add a 1 GB extra to give me the max of 1.5 GB.

    I think that the locations of memory are in B4, but when I open it I do not see an obvious empty slot. I guess what I see are among the 250 MB, but nothing else.

    Offers of additional State of RAM installation is simple, but a free slot is not obvious.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    On this laptop, just a slot is placed at the bottom. Turn off and let us know what capacity has this RAM module. You can buy new with more capacity and put it in this slot.
    A RAM is probably under the keyboard. Remove the RAM from the bottom and start your laptop. check the amount of RAM is recognized.

    If mobile shows 256 MB then you can add a RAM in low 1024 MB PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G) and you will have approximately 1280MB what is the max RAM this laptop to handle with.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 - very low picture on the screen

    Guys, I really need help.

    I picked up on old satellite pro 4600 eBay and have rebuilt the thing - everything works EXCEPT the screen - I get a very small image, even on the start screen.

    So far I have - changed the cable lcd - no effect. changed the Panel itself, no effect and inverter (4 times!).

    Any suggestions? Driver problem? Setting I missed somewhere? Motherboard problem?

    Hmmm. My first thought was the faulty FL inverter.
    Are you sure you used the right and compatible FL inverter? A connect it correctly?

    What about the keys FN + F6/F7? It allows to set the brightness to a higher level?

    Then maybe you should check for this possibility.

  • Satellite Pro 4600: BSOD when I use the PCMCIA of Vodafone card

    I want to use UMTS on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600. I got a card PCMCIA of Vodafone and installed with all updates.

    But if I want to use UMTS, and that means launching the application and connect to Vodafone, Windows stops with a blue screen:
    DRIVER_IRQL_not_less_or_equal STOP 0 x 0... D1, 0 X 0... 00, 0 x 0... 02, 0 x 0... 00, 0 x 0... 00.

    I think that the assignment of IRQS is not so good: http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7151/toshibamw0.jpg

    Hello

    Have you checked if this happens with every PCMCIA card?
    I noticed that the Vodafone card causes BSOD on some portable computers with CPU P4 s and activated the hyper-threading technology.

    But there is also a problem with the firmware card Vodafone.
    An update of the firmware might help.

    I see my network in a wireless network with excellent signal, but it does not connect

    Can someone help me please? Thank you

    Hello

    As Akuma suggested you should ensure that you are using the latest driver WLAN on Toshiba website for your laptop.
    I founded your model on Toshiba Canada website: http://support.toshiba.ca

    Your network configuration is not kwon to me, but you should check the TCP/IP settings. If you have DHCP do you get an IP address from the router? You can check this in the start menu > run > cmd > ipconfig/all

    If you use a 3rd party firewall, you must disable.

  • Satellite L40 - 139 - I want to upgrade the RAM

    Hello
    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite L40 - 139 PSL40E model, operating system Windows XP SP3, 1 024 DDR2 RAM (667 MHz) (512 + 512).

    I want to increase the RAM memory using 2048 DDR2 RAM (1024 + 1024).

    Laptop manual can not find if support * _dual-channel memory_ *, which requires a dual-channel-capable motherboard. Theoretically, this technology double data rate of the memory.
    Someone has the manual for this laptop motheboard, or may indicate the site for download?

    Apologies for my bad English.
    Thank you.

    Hello!

    Satellite L40-139 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. You can buy two modules with 1 GB of capacity with the specifications of DDR2 at 667 MHz.
    If you use two modules, they run in dual channel mode.

    The manual of the motherboard or repair for Toshiba laptops cannot be downloaded. They are only available if ASP.

  • Satellite A200-1TW - I want to upgrade the RAM

    Hello
    I think to upgrade my RAM from 2 GB to 3 or 4 gig.
    I know that 32-bit windows recognizes only 3 gig of max, but I was wondering if it would be better to install 2x2g then 1 x 2 GB and 1 x 1 GB?
    Another question I have:
    I opened my laptop to see what was inside this time, and it seemed that she had 2 parts of ram inside (photo: http://i44.tinypic.com/xojyhw.jpg)
    )
    . So I was wondering, is this 2 x 1 gig? Or one of them is just a fake to fill the slots?

    So in short: do I have to purchase a 1 gig or a 2 gig RAM, and I have to remove the one that is installed in order to install the new one (2 gigabytes)?

    It s not a fake both modules with 2 GB (2 x 1 GB).

    Your Satellite A200 can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. You can buy 2 x 2 GB RAM DDR2-667 for laptops.
    But don t forget that Windows XP will only recognize 3 GB. 4 GB, you need a 64 bit OS.

    Here you can learn more about the limitation on 32 bit OS:

  • Satellite A300-274 - I want to increase the RAM on the video card

    I would like to increase the capacity of my video card.
    I have a toshiba A300-274 co 4 GB of ram.

    Hello

    Your laptop uses 4 GB of RAM?
    Well, usually the graphics card chip supports memory video dedicated and shared system memory.
    The sum of dedicated video memory and shared system memory is the total video memory.
    The shared system memory depends on main memory.
    In your case it s 4 GB of RAM.

    The laptop seems to supports 4 GB RAM max and this means that the shared system memory can not be higher it s already on the highest level.

    In addition, you should know that you cannot assign all values manually everything runs automatically and is controlled by the graphics driver.

  • Record stereo sound on the Satellite Pro 4600

    Hello everyone and happy NYE!

    I am trying to record a stereo sound from an external source on my Satellite Pro 4600.
    I read in the manual of the only way to enter the stereo signal from other sources (e.g., external CD player) is through card Station IV as the laptop itself has only monaural audio input jack.
    Is it possible to record stereo sound from external source without having to invest in the Station IV card?
    Or if not, is there any software that can convert the stereo, mono signal?

    Thanks for any help on this matter.

    Matthew.

    Hello

    In my opinion you can do this only if you use an external device to the audio transfer stereo. In combination with the right software, you can save, for example, old records and put music in digital format.

  • Satellite Pro 4600: question strange memory - memory seems

    Hi all

    for the second time in 18 months, I have strange problems with cards of memory (2 x 256 MB 144-Dimm PC133) of my satellite pro 4600: from one day to the other, the memory seems to reach "grilled" as the old light bulbs. Before that I used the satellite pro 4600 for several hours and the surface on the maps of memory had very hot.
    Y at - it anyone out there facing the same problems? On the replacement: should I better go for chips PC100 PC133 instead?

    Thanks in advance: Bernie

    Hello

    The fact is that recommend Toshiba using these memory modules:
    PA3003U - 1 M 03 32MB MEMORY KIT
    PA3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB MEMORY KIT
    PA3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB MEMORY KIT
    KIT MEMORY OF 256 MB PA3069U - 1 M 25

    It seems that PA3069U - 1 M 25 256 MB PC100 module.
    Well, as you have suggested that memory cards got very hot. In my opinion the fastest PC133 produce a high temperature, and this could be a problem.

    I found the news that DVD-ROM Toshiba SD-C2402 and Toshiba SD-R2002 readers are compatible with your model of laptop. If you have info that Toshiba SD-C2732 can also be used you should try it.

  • 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.

  • Cannot change the contrast, brightness, etc. on Satellite Pro 4600. Help please.

    I can't control the contrast, brightness, Saturation etc... using the control panel of Trident in my Satellite Pro 4600. Could someone help me to activate these controls?
    Thanks in advance
    Andrea

    Hello Andrea,

    normally, you can change this settigs in the Panel, but to explain the way to change this would be nice to know what operating system you have installed.

    If you have the perinstalled Os, it might be that you have Win2000.

    Win2000:

    Go to the control panel - display - Advanced control and then you could choose between video, color or television.

    The Brightess could be changed to energy-saving, because the brightness depends on your setting of power.
    Battery high brightness mode could reduce your battery power!
