• Satellite Pro A100 - 244 PSAAC - RAM upgrade Question

  Hello everyone,

  I have Satellite Pro A100 - 244 (PSAAC) comes with standard RAM "512 (533 MHz)" and I replaced it with 1 GB (533 MHz)

  And now, I want to add 2 GB of RAM in the other slot but I couldn't find RAM 2 GB with bus (533 MHz), I can find only the Rams with (667 MHz)

  I just want to know if it is acceptable to add these two RAMS with these different bus "1 GB (533 MHz) with 2 GB (667 MHz).

  Please let me know if there a danger or cause any problem or if the computer would decrease performance

  Looking forward to your help

  Best regards
  Sammy

  667 MHz * should * work at 533 MHz, but his has not guaranteed to work, you will need to test it before buying the memory.

  Memory usually has a SPD table that tells the BIOS which timings to use at different speeds, but even if the SPD has a 533 MHz on the table, there may always be a compatibility problem.

• Satellite Pro A100: Question about RAM upgrade and warranty

  I just bought my machine and Ive decided to install some more ram. No one knows if it will affect my Gurentee. I can't find anything on the Web site on this topic. Should I get a Toshiba to install official repairman or something?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Please check you user manual. Usually, the slot memory must be placed at the bottom of the unit. If you remove the cover, you should see the slots.
  Usually memory upgrade procedure is described in the user manual so you can upgrade the memory yourself and the procedure of upgrading doesn t affect your warranty.
  But please make sure you use the right modules.
  However, you can also contact Toshiba for the upgrade of memory.

• Strange problem with RAM on Satellite Pro A100

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 (not sure which...)
  It came with 2x256mb RAM, which are mounted. I noticed my laptop slow, so I checked what he says on the properties of the workstation - who said RAM 192Mo...

  Any idea what's going on?
  I had a peek inside, both are mounted securely, while the right push entirely? There is a small gap (about 1 / 2mm) so that is the little nick and real editing. -What is the cause? Or it's maybe faulty?

  Please help me!
  Thanks in advance,

  Diana

  According to the description of your problem, I guess one of the memory modules is not recognized by the system and the specified result 192 MB of Ram only tell me that your laptop has shared graphics memory card.

  Satellite Pro A100 is fairly new to laptop and, in my opinion, you should contact service. The guarantee must be valid and if everything is defective it will be replaced free of charge.

  If possible, tell us what Satellite Pro, you have exactly. This info you can find on the lower side of your laptop.

• Satellite Pro A100 - it does not recognize 4 GB of RAM

  Hello
  today I purchased two 2 GB RAM Corsair DIMMS (DDR2 - 667 mhz) for my Satellite Pro A100.

  After that I updated the BIOS it detected the 4 GB of RAM, but the balance of RAM on the boot prompt checks only 3 GB of RAM. So I can use only 3 GB of RAM (I use ubuntu 64 as an operating system). When I try to RAM into another laptop, it works perfectly. A memtest86 + says check: no error. When I plug in a dimm in the laptop, it is correctly detected as a 2 GB dimm module (tested two DIMMs into the two slots on motherboard)

  Anyone else seen this behavior? For me, it looks like a limitation or a bug in the version of the BIOS.

  (The processor supports 64-bit (core2duo t5500))

  Hello

  What Satellite Pro A100 you have exactly?
  As far as I know that some models can only be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM.

  It's really not easy to say what is the reason for this because I m confused on the subject of what the BIOS recognize the 4 GB of RAM, but not the boot prompt.
  I'm not sure that maybe the modules are not compatible with your laptop. You can test other modules?

• Satellite Pro A100 is not recognized any amount of RAM

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 and I just bought 1 GB of additional memory. There are two locations, each with a capacity of 1 GB.
  When I put the new memory into the slot and the old 512 MB original memory in slot B and the computer says it is 1 GB.

  I have them two-way round so that the 512 MB is has the 1 GB in B. Now the computer says that there is 512 MB.
  Is there anything I can do to work B slot? I have the latest version of the BIOS update.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  > original 512K of Ram also works in A slot, but not in the housing B.
  This looks like your slot B is defective, mate :(

  I think that, in this case, you can't. You can swap the card mother but that s all.

• Question about upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A100

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE I want to upgrade. I currently have 1 GB of RAM in two 512 MB modules. I looked on Crucial.com and he says I need DDR2 PC2 4200 module (240 pin DIMM), but of course, they want to sell their own stuff that only comes in 1 GB modules.
  So, what is the maximum amount of RAM my computer can take? I would like to have more than 2 GB in order to make my page file smaller. Is 2 GB maximum I can put in?

  To be honest, I read several threads where people were not so happy with the RAMs from crucial. In my opinion, you should spend your laptop with 2 x 1 GB RAM. With 2 GB of RAM, your laptop will work fine and I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

  As recommendable modules, you must use either 1 GB (PA3411U-2M1G) or module recommended by Kingston.

• Maximum RAM and type for Satellite Pro A100

  Hello.

  I have already looked at my manual, but I can't get a definitive answer.

  I went to one of these computers, analysis of Web sites and it claims I have 2 SLOTS where I can put 1 GB DDR II PC2-4200 each (so 2048 MB of ram)
  (es http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Satellite%20Pro%20A100%20Seri) But according to CPU - Z, my laptop contains DDR II PC2-4300 512 MB

  But when I recorded from TOSHIBA Web site and entered the serial number of my cell phone, he told me that I had a Satellite Pro A100-196
  When I searched for Satellite Pro A100-196 on the internet, I came across a website (http://toshiba.icecat.biz/en/p/PSAACE-00E00DG3/Satellite%2520Pro%2520A100-196.htm) that says that 100-196 a module of DDR II (533 mhz) and that it can place additional modules up to 4096 MB (which means I can't that modules of RAM 2 GB each)

  So I would like to know if anyone knows the final RAM MAX (and type), I can place.

  Thank you.

  The Satellite Pro A100-196 appears to bear the 667 Mhz front bus!
  So, you can also use the modules of memory 667 Mhz (533 Mhz is also possible).

  I advise to use SODIMM 200 PIN DDR2 modules; 667 MHz (PC2-5300)

  You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB max. So it is certainly possible to use a 2 GB into a slot!

  Good bye

• 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)

• Upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A100-840

  The specification for the Satellite Pro A100 840 said that memory has a maximum of 4 GB of memory. But it does not seem to be all provided by Toshiba that allows me to level to 4 GB of memory. This current has the default 1gn that was shipped when ordered. Anyone know how to get the 1 GB to 4 GB?

  Thank you in advance for any help

  Hello

  I just wanted to check the specifications of the laptop but I was not able to find the Satellite Pro A100-840. Can you please check laptop model and send us the laptop model number.

  In any case I really don't understand what your problem. It seems that your model of laptop can handle with 4 GB RAM max. According to your assignment, your laptop comes with 1 GB of RAM.

  So if you want to use the maximum RAM on your laptop satellite, you must buy RAM 2 X 2 GB module. As far as I know, 2 GB RAM module are available and if you want to be sure of compatibility please check the Kingston products.

  Please check this Kingston Memory Configurator

• Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S does not recognize movie DVD on Satellite Pro A100

  I have a portable Satellite Pro A100-PSAAPE.

  Initially the played DVD movies very well, but now it does not recognize DVD movie at all.

  The drive itself is recognized and works very well with recovery DVD and CD-ROM.

  Phone support: they had me reinstall the driver and boot from the recovery DVD. This does not solve the problem. They then said to do a system restore. Tried, but it seems that the previous restorations of system are in themselves unsuccessful and the restoration of the system that has worked has not solved the problem.

  MediaPlayer and Intervideo WinDVD seem to work well, but do not find the DVD in the drive.

  They advise now reinstall me to factory setting, but don't want to build the laptop up to scratch etc, so I'm hoping that there may always be a solution.

  Can anyone help please?

  Thank you

  Best wishes

  Hello

  You understand that you must specify if it is a hardware or software problem.
  Unfortunately, you can find this secret only using recovery DVD (CD).
  Toshiba recovery installation will define the laptop back to the factory settings. In this case you may find whether or not the CD/DVD device is defective.

  If the player will not play the DVD after the reinstallation of the operating system, then chances are that it is a CD/DVD drive error.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A100: CD/DVD player will not play the audio CD or video DVD

  People,
  I have a Satellite Pro A100, with a RUG * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841 S Drive.
  It will read fine data disks, but refuses to play with the audio CD or video DVD.

  I tried to uninstall & Re-Installing DVD - RAM Driver;
  That got rid of the "IO error" that I received, unfortunately I don't notice the full error: S.
  He now just doesn't see the drive. Someone at - it ideas?

  I did a full windows update, and the Toshiba Diagnostic util tell me anything useful except "Fail" :(

  I found a thread in this forum that describes a similar theme:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19747&MessageID=72404

  Sometimes this error is displayed because the player does not support the environment.
  Always it is every way is supported by readers and I think that in the user manual, you will find an index CDs or DVDs compatible

  Maybe the drive is defective and can not calibrate lens in the right position.
  But this laptop is not very old, and I can't imagine that the drive is defective
  However, nothing is impossible.

  What you can do is to carefully clean the lens and see that it will help.

• Satellite Pro A100 - cannot update driver ATI

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my graphics ATI Mobility Radeon x 1600 card card. I can't update to the latest driver from the ATI. The program says that it can not install on my system - contact company for the most recent driver. But the one that is provided by Toshiba is almost two years!
  It all started with, that I could not run FIFA 2009... even if it clearly States in EA own manual that this graphics card is supported! But I do not see everything in the game - except the players. Only their shadows are visible...

  I know it's a lot, but I'm pulling the hair here!

  HEEELP!

  BTW: my system: Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-PSAACE - Core2Duo 2.0 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 120 GB of HARD drive Windows XP Pro.

  I really wonder that many people do not understand why the laptop manufacturers don't offer drivers for graphics cards so often.
  Each laptop manufacturer deals with design, hardware components and drivers used for the operation of the equipment. On laptops, hardware components are miniaturized and placed close to each other. This means that the heat and is a common problem for the designers of the laptop.

  Each computer laptop (hardware, drivers, BIOS, cooling system) is designed to operate in optimal conditions. If you want the new driver that can force a graphics card to run on the maximum limit, the result will be more heat. More heat means more risk for damaging hardware and overheating.

  So to laptops, there are limits that must and should be respected. Graphics card manufacturers cannot just offer new drivers for laptops and be responsible for the damage. When some owner of the laptop is damage graphics card because of the driver who should be responsible? ATI or Toshiba?

  For this reason, graphics card manufacturers say clearly: If you want the new driver laptop computer contact the manufacturer. Manufacturers must also protect the customer s of material and be careful with this stuff.

  So I think you see how it works and the display driver update will be probably endless discussion on each laptop computers forum.

  Good luck!
