Satellite Pro A10 - upgrade RAM

Hello

I have an A10 with 512 MB DDR PC2100 CL2.5 Satellite Pro (266) and want to upgrade to 1024Mo with two sticks of 512 MB. The scanner memory Crucial sites says I can do it and PC2700 (333) too.

I bought the package and install, it worked for a day or so then wouldn't boot, no LOGO from BIOS Toshiba no tray DVD not free either. When I put the old RAM, things were ok. .

So my question is really:

The A10 is able to use the RAM PC2700 as Crucial says he is or they is bad.
Textbooks do not give the answer.

Thanks in advance for any information on this problem.

I ve checked the specs of the laptop and it says that you can upgrade your laptop up to 1 GB of RAM and compatible RAM module for upgrade is PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51). Check it please this part number. This module is 100% compatible and you can use it with an old man.

Maybe it sounds silly now but Crucial is not the best option. Many people have claimed about similar problems using critical modules.

  • Satellite Pro M50 - upgrade RAM does not fit

    Hi, I'm looking to upgrade the ram in a Satellite Pro M50, I bought a stick of crucial but although he mounted in the slot (and was regarded as the correct product) machine didn't post with it, I bought another stick (different brand) and installed this but get the same problem. Looking at it, I noticed that the notch in the existing stick of 256 MB is a bit (a few mm) out against the new stick and of course although they fit into the slot, the actual pins on the stick won't line up properly.

    Is this a known issue? Do I have to buy a specific brand of RAM in order to modernize the system? Crucial guarantee their RAM to work, very unusual that it didn't work that way for this system of tosh.

    Thanks in advace to anyone who can enlighten us!

    Hi GYS

    S let speak quite clearly, for RAM upgrade, you must use compatible RAM modules. I hope you know what that means compatibility work.
    So if you want to be sure you are using the right RAM modules and compatible I recommend modules memory live 1024Mo PC2700 to use with the PA3313U-2M1G part number.

    You can upgrade your laptop up to 1 GB of RAM and using two of these modules, you will be able to use maximum RAM and also make sure that the Rams will be suitable for your system.

  • Satellite Pro A100: Upgrading RAM void my warranty?

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 today and, having only 256mbRAM I want to update my 512 RAM. If I discover the RAM slots and replace it, this will void my warranty?

    Thank you

    (NB several opinions would be appreciated)

    Hello

    You warranty still valid. You can upgrade the memory without any problems, but you must use the right modules and supported.
    As far as I know, these modules are compatible:
    DDR2-533 256 MB (PA3389U - 2M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
    1 GB OF DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G)

    But are you sure you want to upgrade the memory of 512 MB?
    AFAIK all already shipped with 512 MB.

    Thanks a lot for your time!

    Hi xosman,

    According to the information that you have posted it seems that the other Satellite A200 module has the same specifications, so if your laptop works with this module it s no problem I think.

    Satellite A200 A300 using the same memory modules DDR2 so change the RAM is no problem.

  • Satellite Pro A10 with XP SP2 works very slowly

    I have a Satellite Pro A10; 256 RAM with 18 GB of HARD drive. (In think it was sold as a nominal 20GB).
    It's not particularly loaded with the software, even if the HD is about 90% full and is used primarily for surfing the Internet and word processing. It runs very slowly and has been making slower and slower.

    Click on an item oin the Start Menu, for example to open IE and takes literally 10 to 20 minutes to open the window under construction very slowly... really!

    I have Norton Internet Security and Norton System Works and the different uses do not find anything wrong, they report. Speed disk to run after a month, but also the system scans for viruses.

    I'm going back to the top upgrade RAM 1024 and also believe that a BIOS update is available but do not know how this will change the performance, or not at all.

    I know there must be other things I need to do to improve the speed. It is virtually unusable at the moment.

    What tests can I do to pin point problems and then how can I fix?

    Hello

    In recent years, I've used the Norton Internet Security and I was not satisfied. The point is that it is a good security tool, but it significantly slows down the performance of the computer laptop or computer. Now, I m using the freeware antivirus software called AntiVir.

    I see your computer laptop support only 256 MB of RAM. It is certainly not sufficient to use the Win XP smoothly.
    Other reasons could be overloaded HDD.

    Due to the low value of RAM, the laptop uses the area on the HARD disk for paging. Paging is an important part of virtual memory. It allows to use the HARD drive for data that does not fit in physical RAM.

    All of these are responsible by the performance of your laptop.

    By the way; It is perhaps also a time for a new installation of the OS.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - need information about upgrading RAM

    Also size maximum memory can this module we have in this laptop please.
    If it's 2 @ 1 GB per module, then we would have a total of 2 GB.

    Is the standard hard drive on this computer, a hard drive of the laptop. Can I get out the small 20 GB one and replace it with a larger. for example 120 GB etc.

    Thank you very much for your help.
    Ian

    Satellite Pro A10 two memory locations are available. Laptop computer can manage with 1 GB of RAM and you can use two compatible PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51) modules.

    This old machine uses 2.5 HDD with old IDE connector. I found some info that it has been bundled with 20GB, 30GB and 40GB HDD. I think you can improve it with up to 100 GB HARD drive but just to be sure he has the same connector on the HARD drive.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.
    For more information after the exact model number please.

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro A10

    Hello

    I have a PSA15E A10-IN running a celeron 2.0 chip. Anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the processor and if what chips it would take? Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    In most cases, the upgrade of the CPU is not possible because of the BIOS and chipset restrictions.
    But sometimes it is possible to use a different CPU, which is supported by the chipset.
    I have no idea what chipset supports your laptop, but you can check this in the Device Manager or you could install some hardware diagnostic such as Sisoft SANDRA or Everest Home Edition software.

    Then, you can view properties chipset Intel ARK on page for a list of compatible processors.

    However, Satellite Pro A10 is very old and I doubt its value to upgrade the processor because you won't see a great performance.

  • Satellite Pro A10: No sound after upgrade to Windows XP Home SP2

    Hello

    Just use the recovery disks on my Satellite Pro A10, no problem with the sound, and then upgraded to XP Home with SP2, no noise.

    What I've read elsewhere, this is a problem and there seems to be an answer. I spent hours looking for drivers updated without success.

    I have also contacted Toshiba support, after blow and blow that they reported the following driver, 5.12.01.3542, which is the same one that I have already installed and does not work.

    Certainly there must be something out there that works.

    Ant.

    Install the driver of his most recent available FRO this sound chip and perform all the Windows updates available on the Microsoft page!

    Hello

    As far as I know that the Sat Pro A10 has been delivered with 3 different drives - 20 GB, 30 GB, 40 GB.
    In my opinion the 40 GB is a maximum size of HARD drive support. It is possible that the BIOS could not acknowledge more large drives.
