• 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)

• Satellite Pro 4600 RAM upgrade - single location seems to work

  Hello!

  I am writing again to my RAM problem.
  I know that my phone can cope with 500 MB of ram.

  So I bought more to upgrade 256. But only a module of memory is recognized.
  Both work well: when an another reversal of slot a slot two, there is always a recognized...

  I must add this: when I have added first 256 MB for the original 128 MB module, everything worked ok, (I got about 300 MB of ram)
  I really wonder: is the slot 2 dead? How can I know if you think that is another problem, you have advice...? I am a bit lost...

  See you soon!
  Sylvain

  You are right. You can upgrade the RAM to 512MG max.
  In housing, you could inert max 254MB modules of memory SODIMM 144 pin PC133.

  Perhaps one slot is faulty and you should check this.
  Simply use a single module and check the two slots one after the other.

  If the module will be recognized in the two slots this means that the two slots are okay.
  These cases, it is possible of s that the two modules may not work together make for the compatibility issue.

• Is this appropriate for a Satellite Pro 4600 memory?

  Hi all

  I wonder if this memory will be suitable for my brothers satellite pro 4600:

  I intend to get 2 sticks and replace the stick of 128 MB with them, so there are 512 in the machine altogether - which should make windows xp run a little faster!

  Thanks in advance!

• 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 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 ;)

• 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 4600: HDD upgrade question

  Hello.

  I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro 4600 a 20 GB hard drive to a 60 gig.
  Only, I get a blank screen.
  When I go back my 20 original concert, it works well.
  Y at - it a special procedure for the Assembly of the larger disks?

  The BIOS recognizes the HARD drive correctly?

  Perhaps the size of the HARD drive is too big and so you have a few problems with the laptop.

  The fact is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported and the BIOS recognizes all drives, if the size is too large. Therefore, you should try a smaller HARD drive

• Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 problems

  Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 is usually a large equipment once it works! I have bought in December 2001 + additional 2 year warranty. Used every day for a business purpose - mainly on a desk anchored to the Port Replicator or inside-out of the office with WiFi.

  Almost after a year I bought it - one of the memory locations died on the motherboard! A machine still worked OK - only on a slot with installed memory capacity! So the 256 MB of memory and motherboard have been replaced by September 2002.

  Then the hard drive was noise - has been replaced as a guarantee somewhere in October 2004. So I thought that it is her - I have now a few years without problem again!

  Yes - all of a sudden a few days ago, I closed the lid for a coffee brake and after that the machine woke up to a strange sleep - the screen flickered and a machine was muzzy! Like the previous night failures that occurred before that I thought that this restart will solve the problem! It s woke up without the support of the voice! And after that I discovered that the WiFi card is always on - no matter if you switch the button on or off! If the service said that probably the motherboard has not once again!

  So, which brand and model to buy then?

  > And after that I discovered that the WiFi card is always enabled.

  same thing with my nine M30 I bought last summer. I can't be able to turn off the WiFi keyboard functionality. the light is still on too.

• The two RAM are inserted but only is recognized on Satellite Pro 4600

  Hello

  I have a Pro 4600 and two memory modules:
  1 IBM 128 MB PC100 CL2 SODIMM 144 pin
  2 Infineon 128 MB PC133 CL3 144 pin SODIMM

  Each of these modules work fine separately.
  When I put the two to reach 256 of ram, the system recognizes only 128MB, but boots ok anyway.

  My question is: what to do to have 256 total RAM?
  If the two models will be absolutely same (including manufacturer), it will cause correct 256 MB of ram?

  Hello

  Just FYI: If you want to use compatible modules please use PA3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB or 256 MB PA3069U - 1 M 25 memory module.

• 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,.

  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 very unstable and BSOD

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro 4600 c750/128 with xp installed.
  It was ok, but slow, so I've updated at 500 MB of memory.

  He now became unstable under windows and throw a screen blue after awhile, which is a related, but firm and we will restart until I have a chance to read the error message.

  I tested the new memory from one day to the next with memtest and run 4 passes all tests without error, about 9 hours of operation (on the back).

  The event log indicates a discharge, but this does not mean a lot to me.
  The event log has an error during startup, what was there before the memory upgrade.
  Googling Sugest a fix to update the bios, it's always available for this laptop bios?

  The BIOS should be available for this former Satellite Pro 4600.
  The BIOS and drivers must be placed on the page of European driver of Toshiba.
  Here, you will need to search the Archives!

  But I doubt that the error is caused by the BIOS.
  Is the laptop ran stable also with the previous BIOS and it foolish to update the BIOS to fix this problem.
  I'm sure it won't change anything!

  Upgrade the RAM and BSOD appears now.
  I think that the problem is related to the RAM, even if the ram test didn't find any errors
  The RAM may be not compatible also if no error has been detected.

  I recommend that you test the laptop without the new RAM and check if the BSOD will appear again.

  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

• Satellite Pro 4600 - stops during installation of operating system

  Hi all
  I have a Satellite pro 4600 that my son bought his first Fixer of computer.

  The laptop comes with the hard drive erased. The problem he is trying to install Windows 2000, the laptop comes with OEM.

  The computer starts up to the windows disk and loads all the files, but when the Windows installation starts the computer stops.

  We are trying to install the power adapter plugged in, and it seems that all the lights are either now or at least works.
  This laptop was announced as work, but with no OS installed. As this is the first that he bought, we have no spare parts to swap around.

  Guidance on what would be the most likely problem, or a good place to start looking would be greatly appreciated!

  First, I would try to clean the laptop with a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can get in at a computer retailer.

  As Akuma said, check the RAM with Memtest86 and also on your disk with the Drive Fitness Test: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT
