• 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 - unable to connect to the wireless network

  Hello, I have a problem with my Satellite pro 4600 model # Ps460C-04NVX
  The problem is with the PA3070U-1MPC wireless adapter
  I see my network in a wireless network with excellent signal, but it does not connect

  I have a fresh install of win xp sp3. I don't have original driver cd.

  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.

  Good bye

• 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.

• 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.
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ5300W6000YR01.htm

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

  Try to contact Vodafone support for new firmware and additional details

• Satellite Pro A100 very slow, especially at the start

  Hi, I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A100. In general, I'm very happy with it, but I find it very slow especially at startup. It may take more than 5 minutes to be completely started.

  Are there settings or settings that I can do to fix this?

  Hello

  I agree with the previous user of the forum. I often heard that Norton slows down the system quickly. Try to remove it and test it again.

• Re: Satellite Pro A200 - no activity - nothing on the screen

  Hello!

  I have a lot of problems with the Toshiba Satellite Pro A200.
  Same problem for all: when you connect the power adapter led turns blue!
  When I press on "on" button the second led turns blue, the fan runs for a while, but there is not activity: nothing on the screen.
  No thing hard disk led...

  I have a lot of this problem with the Satellite A200. The motherboard is a LA - 3481P.
  I am an electronic engineer and I m specialized in laptop repair card main but I did not understand this problem.

  Can U help me telling me that maybe the defective chip?
  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I don't know if you saw that this forum is the forum of users and you should not wonder if nobody can give the exact answer. As an electronic engineer, you must know that no one can answer specifically and to find the good chip, you must run diagnostic tool.

  So I think that you need professional help. Try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

  BTW: I am really interested about new comments here.

• M40-285: very low contrast on the screen

  Hello;

  I have a new M40-285, and I found the screen with very little contrast. It always happens, even in the BIOS screen.

  On the lower side of the window, there is always a Flash of light, the background is never 'black', more like a gray.

  I got a M30X and the screen was crisp and Nice. That was the reason on the purchase of an M40.

  The laptop is brand new, I ask for a replacement, or something usual in this model? As I said, M30X screen was wonderful!

  Best regards.

  Hi Fran

  Satellite M40 is well-known for me because one of my friends has a. I can't really understand what exactly is going on with your laptop but try it please use the FN + F7 key combination to set the brightness of the screen up.

  If you are not satisfied, please contact your local dealer and check with him. M40 is a very nice unit with a fantastic design and I believe that there is no hardware problem, just a few bad display setting.

• Satellite Pro A210 - repeat vertical lines on the screen

  I hope someone can help me.

  I am a teacher and was bought by my school a Toshiba Satellite Pro A210 for me to do my school work and connect to a SMART board to teach with. Throughout its probably one of the best laptops I got through school. I got it two months.

  There is only one problem with it. Its developed a rather weird problem. Occasionally, the screen suddenly freezes, and the display will be replaced by thin, alternating vertical black and white lines. The only way to get rid of them is to turn off the laptop and restart it (particularly annoying when it happened in the middle of a lesson when I've been respected by an OFSTEd Inspector!)

  Technician computer school has no idea what is the cause. I was wondering if someone here might have some advice.

  Thanks in advance.

  I ve the same laptop but I didn t receive similar lines on the screen.
  What you could do is update the BIOS and the driver (if possible) display.

  If the same problem happens again, you must connect an external monitor to the laptop.

  Then check if the same lines appears on the external display. If so, then a problem of graphics card might be possible!

• 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.

  Hello

  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.

  Moreover, in my opinion, it is OK that's just English allowed on this forum and can be understandable for us all.

• Satellite Pro 4600 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

  My age Satellite Pro 4600 has a 20 GB HARD drive. These are now very difficult to obtain, does anyone know if superior capacy HDDs can be used and, if so, what is the maximum size of the HARD drive.

  (Despite his age that I always use the Satellite Pro for some jobs).

  Hello John

  Satellite Pro 4600 is old enough for laptop and it is not easy to find the exact info. The fact is that this laptop comes with 10 and 20 GB hard drives.
  My opinion is that you can use 30 or even 40 GB HDD. I think that 30 GB new HARD drive should be enough for your some jobs.

  What do you think?

• Resume the failed Satellite Pro 4600

  Hello

  I get a message "Press any key to resume failure continues" every time I powere to the top of my Satellite Pro 4600. It then remains on a white screen and I am unable to do anything. Someone at - it suggestions on how to solve this problem?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Check if the BIOS is set to RESUME (function that remember have been closed and continue on this same place).

  To do this: when the TOSHIBA logo is shown be very quickly press the ESC key a short time.
  You should get an error message and press F1 to enter BIOS. Search for Power-up mode (or something very similar). Set it to BOOT.

  If it is already set to BOOT, or it does not help, try pressing the reset button when the screen is empty as you say. You should find it on the, I think that, left side of the machine. Look closely on the sides. You should find a small hole.

  Good luck

• I can build in the Satellite Pro 4600 DVD burner?

  Hiya

  Can anyone help with this? Has anyone equipped with a DVD burner (dvd - rw drive Toshiba sd-r6252)?
  Which models are compatible? I'm good fight opening and Exchange.
  Compatibility just in fact know.
  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t found any information if this drive is compatible with the Satellite Pro 4600, but you should be careful to replace the drive.
  You should check the dimensions of the car. Very important is the drive (master, slave, csel) settings because it is not possible to change this settings as on the usual desktop drive.
  I'm not sure about the settings on the Satellite Pro 4600 but the ASP Toshiba should know that.
  You can also order the caught player supported by the Toshiba service partner in your country.
