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.

  • 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.

    Hello
    Someone gave me an old Satellite Pro 4600 which works very well with Windows Millennium, but this person lost the Toshiba CD with drivers and utilities. I can't find anything about Toshiba hard disk.
    Is it possible to upgrade to WIndows XP? I have the Windows XP Pro CD, but nothing for the drivers of Toshiba.

    Of course you can improve it to Windows XP Home edition.

    I checked the download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com and it has listed many drivers of Windows XP Home edition.

  • 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

  • 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 4360 Ram upgrades

    Hello, this is my first post

    I have a satellite pro 4360 with 256 meg of ram can be updated at least 512 I have 1 spare ram slot if so, what is the ram details I need IE 144 pins etc.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    The 4360 Pro Satellite came with 64 MB internal memory and this memory in not removable.
    As you have already said, there is only a slot that is expandable.

    In any case... it seems that it of not possible to upgrade memory up to 512 MB.
    You can upgrade the memory to 320 MB (64 MB internal memory + 256 MB external memory). There is a limit.

    I found a very useful page that confirms this info:

  • 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)

    What memory did you use?
    I've found that these modules are compatible:

    Hi all

    I need at least 1 GB of RAM to run a program and I have 504 MB.

    I'm just wondering if you guys know exactly what I need because I have never updated anything on my laptop before. The model number is PASC1E-03X00YEN.

    I'll probably order via the WEB for all the tips on the suppliers would help.

    Hello

    If you want to increase the RAM to 1 GB then you need another 512 MB module.
    As I know the laptop support modules DDR2 PC2-5300 RAM and generally the 512 MB PC2 - 5300 DDR2 RAM (PA3511U1M51) must be compatible.

    These two channels work individually, but when I try to start both installed, the screen turns off at startup but pc is ongoing execution and all the right sounds.
    Any help would be great.

    Thank you

    That made her really strange guy is that if a module of memory is not compatible or not supported then the laptop wouldn't boot.

    But listen buddy; nothing is impossible. Perhaps the two modules cannot run together and that's why this issue happens?  :|

    Usually it s recommended and recommended using two memory modules.
    In this case, you can be sure that the two s of RAM would run together without problem to 100%!

  • Re: Satellite Pro A200 - RAM upgrade

    Hi all

    Don't worry I'm not here to ask questions on only 3 GB of RAM display in a 32-bit Windows system! : PEI

    I'm wanting to upgrade the RAM on my A200 and what I was wondering was what can I put with 667 MHz RAM? I know that the FSB of the CPU is 800 MHz so can not use RAM 800 MHz? I had a quick glance in the BIOS to see if there was an option to change the speed or on my desktop, but I couldn't find anything. If the speed of the RAM is locked and if yes is there a update of the available BIOS that will allow it to be changed?

    I hope this isn't a stupid question but thanks in advance!

    Daniel

    RAM with MHz more won't make your laptop faster. I'm not 100% sure but on the motherboard FSB speed is 533 MHz and Rams, you inside are at 667 MHz.

    If you can increase the RAM to 4 GB using 2 GB of RAM compatible with the PA3513U-1M2G part number.

  • 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)

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