Satellite Pro A120 - does not start with 4 GB of memory

Hi all

I'm new here so please be gentle!

I have a Satellite Pro A120, model No. PSACOE - 037014EN and you want to increase the memory 512 MB present. I tried 2 different sets of memory 4 GB (2x2gb), but the machine does not start. I tried the different modules together and on their own but still no joy.

Where I'm going wrong? This model will not take 2 GB memory modules?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Best regards

Dr. Feelgood

Hello

Before changing something about your hardware, please make sure that if the computer supports the new pieces of material and, therefore, you can also consult the user manual.

Anyway, I checked this and this laptop can only be upgraded to 2 GB maximum. This means that you can use the module of 1 GB in each slot and * no * 2 GB in each slot.

So please bring back the memory modules and buy 2x1GB. It will work.

    On this forum you can find many threads where people describe similar problems. In most cases the problem is compatibility modules, especially if Ram needs to be upgraded with modules produced by different manufacturers.

  • Satellite Pro 460 does not start with the new drive in

    I recently received a Satellite Pro 460, but he had no hard drive.
    It starts great without a disc in but as soon as I put a new hard drive in it does not start.

    I thought that it might be again a hard drive, so I pulled out my old Toshiba Satellite with my old drive to work, and yet, it does not start.

    Someone has any ideas why this is and what I can do about it

    I think that you can not do much. Satellite pro 460 CDT, for example, comes with 2 GB of HARD drive. If you try to get it work with similar HDD without success, it may be defective IDE port on the motherboard.

    What HARD drive you are trying to use on this good old classic?

  • Satellite Pro 480CDT does not start with mounted HARD disk?

    Hello
    I have tried several disks in my Satellite Pro 480CDT, but none of them starts. The screen stays black and the power led blinks orange (long, short, short, short, short, long, short, short). If I drive the machine past the on-screen "In Touch With tomorrow, TOSHIBA. He sees Windows CD-ROM or a floppy disk. I tried with 6 hard drives all below to 6 GB and AFAIK the work. I tried with another 480CDT a 220CS and a 2140CDS. Surely all hard drives and computers laptops have the same flaw? What I need to update BIOS or something as none of the drives are original for the machines.
    Help, please!
    Thank you

    John.

    Hi John

    I'm afraid of nothing that you can do everything alone. When the electronic power supply detects a power problem, it sends the hex code. In this case you should contact the technicians. They can read this code and will know what the problem is here.

    Just FYI: I discovered this disc HARD original for this unit has the P000244000 part number. Maybe it will help you get another HARD drive for testing.

    Sorry I can't tell you more info on this good old classic.

  • Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

    In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
    Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

    What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

    When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

    When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
    The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Have you noticed something strange with LED power control? It is also possible that the electronic power supply do troubled. Try to talk with authorized Toshiba and explain the situation. If you open only one Notepad, uneducated, it may be simply worse.

  • Satellite Pro C650 - does not start

    Hey all,.

    My Satellite Pro C650 boot not beyond a certain point. I tried to start in all modes different for example safe mode, mode of networking,

    However this proved unsuccessful, the laptop freezes and I meet a constant and regular beep at the same point every time that I try to start. I even tried to start Linux 12.04 USB to see if it's hardware or software, unfortunately is the same, which means hardware failure.

    The problem is that I don't know the bios beep codes and I can't understand what needs fixing.
    I was hoping you could help me!

    Thanks :)

    I think you need professional help with this problem. I don't know if your laptop is always guaranteed to be valid, but in my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask for help. They have special diagnostic tools and hardware malfunction can be detected and repaired.

  • Satellite C660-108 does not start with 8 GB of RAM

    I bought 2 x 4 GB memory modules to upgrade memory up to 8 GB.
    With 8 GB installed, the laptop does not start, but he will start with 6 GB installed.
    Modules 4 GB 6 GB configuration and wood East of 1.8.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    According to the manual, this laptop can be upgraded up to 8 GB of RAM.

    Then you should be able to use the 2 x 4 GB RAM modules

    I think that both modules are not compatible with each other and therefore cannot boot up the laptop.

    You should test the laptop with the help of other modules.

  • Satellite Pro A120 does not turn on - blinking green

    Hi people anyone can help?

    I have a Satellite Pro A120, which is not used for a long time,
    When I plug in and turn on I get nothing except the lights on the front of the laptop, green power telling me light the d/c plug is plugged in,
    loading light but the power of the light on the front of the battery flashes green twice, then amber once and the fan runs but nothing else at all.

    Could someone tell me wots wrong and how to fix it please?

    Hello

    Indicator of DC IN ((deuxieme left) lights green when the power adapter DC voltage.
    If the adapters output voltage is abnormal or if power outages, this indicator flashes orange.

    ((Troisième de gauche), the power led lights green when the computer is turned on. If you select the "sleep mode" indicator flashes (a second to two seconds) while the computer shuts down.

    If you notice other behaviors of indicator, then it means that something might be wrong on the motherboard. It is not possible to say what could be the problem here, but first, you should check out the bars of memory. Try to turn on the device using a single module.
    If this is not enough, then a malfunction of the motherboard would be possible.
