Satellite Pro A120 RAM upgrade?

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.

Thanks in advance
Paul

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.

Please check this space of the forum:

Here you can find videos how to replace the RAM.
I didn t find your Satellite A120, but the upgrade of RAM is very similar to all laptops.

    Hello, can help them.

    I have a satellite Pro A120, and because I used the upgrade disk to upgrade to Vista, I was not able to control the volume button on roller on the front of my laptop.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    The 4360 Pro Satellite came with 64 MB internal memory and this memory in not removable.

    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.

  • 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:

  • Satellite Pro A100 RAM upgrade

    Hey

    I recently tried to upgrade the 512 MB in my laptop with an additional 1 GB from the internet.
    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%!

    Check it!

  • Satellite Pro 4600 RAM upgrade

    Hello

    can someone tell me if the max ram in the Satellite 4600 is 512 MB as stated in the manual, or was it just a limit due to the size of RAM available when the laptop was produced?

    any help would be appreciated

    Hello

    To my knowledge, you can switch the phone to max 512 MB.
    You can use 2 sticks of 256 MB set. It's possible!

  • 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.

    Good bye

  • 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.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A120-189 - RAM who do I take for the upgrade?

    Hello everyone

    I want to upgrade the RAM for my Satellite Pro A120-189, model number PSACIE-05V021EN, as the laptop is quite slow (I use Vista 32 bit business).

    Hello

    I checked the specification of your laptop on the Toshiba page and this laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. This is why you must use two modules of 2 GB with DDR2 (533 MHz) technology.

    You can get new RAM to each computer store or authorized service provider. I have good experiences with high-quality Kingston modules.

  • Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC0E) does not start after upgrading RAM

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me here, I recently bought a Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC0E) and decided to upgrade the RAM. I bought a stick of 512 MB of curries with the following specifications: DDR PC2700 200-pin 333 Mhz SODIMM (64 x 64).

    However, the first problem I encountered was an alignment problem. A little effort and handling solved this, but after you insert the RAM into the available slot, the computer laptop wouldn't boot, and instead, I had the flashing sequence on the LED from 2,3,3.

    I was told it might be a problem matching, then tried to remove the original RAM and booting with just the new stick, still the same error. I tried it in the slots and still no joy. It starts very well with the original 256 MB of RAM, but refuses to take the new RAM.

    Are there any known issues? Can anyone suggest something that I can do wrong? I followed the usual steps of upgrade to remove all power cables and the battery before the upgrade, but still no joy.

    Hoping that someone is able to help!

    Hi James

    You simply have bad memory modules and is not a compatible uses.

    > the first problem I encountered was an alignment problem. A little effort and handling solved this,

    This should not happen! The right modules can be inserted without any problem of alignment!
    Handling can damage the module!

    In my opinion, you should use another and supported the RAM module.

    To my knowledge, you can use the PA3512U-1M1G (DDR2-667 1 GB Memory Kit) or (PA3411U-2M1G) DDR2-533 1 GB
    The two should be compatible.

  • Upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A120-166

    Hi guys,.

    I m new on this forum and looking for a bit of technical advice. I'm looking to upgrade the memory in my Satellite Pro A120-166 to the threshold of 4 GB complete as described in the manual.

    How to choose what memory to buy? Is the speed of the memory must match the FSB on the processor or what?

    The online manual lists at 533 MHz FSB, but if I go into the performance of the system on my laptop, it says that it's an Intel (r) [email protected], 800 MHz, 256 MB RAM. This means that my FSB is 800 MHz?

    The online manual says that my phone comes with 256 MB of ram DDR2 (533 MHz), so I'm a little lost as to what side MHz memory to buy now.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    You are right about maximum RAM. You can improve it up to 4 GB.
    Toshiba recommends for compatible use PA3513U-1M2G (DDR2-667 2 GB Memory Kit).

    You can also use the module of Kingston. Visit their page, and you will find a list of the compatible modules.
    Please don't be confused about MHz. You can use the module with 667 MHz.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - I want to upgrade the RAM

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my Satellite Pro A120 Model No.: PSAC1E-05C00VEN

    I'm getting conflicting reports as to how this can actually take, some sites say a 1 GB maximum per slot max so 2 GB while most of the others say max 2 GB per slot

    I was hoping you could advise me.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Hello!

    Your Satellite Pro A120 is equipped with the Intel 945 GM chipset and so you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM.
    Only models with ATI chipset can be upgraded to 2 GB and I think this is the reason why some sites say that it can be upgraded to 2 GB and others at 4 GB.

    However, for the upgrade of RAM DDR2-RAM PC2-5300 (DDR2-677). You can buy 2 GB modules for a maximum of 4 GB.
    But don t forget that only a 64 bit OS supports 4 GB of RAM.

  • Upgrade SSD for Satellite Pro A120

    Hello
    I have a satellite pro A120, which feels a little tired. I did research SSD upgrades to replace the HARD drive, but I don't know if I can update or not. I would really appreciate any advice or information you can give me.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can upgrade the laptop with an SSD. You need a disc SSD SATA 2.5 as the A120 supports the SATA controller.
    Not quite sure about the SSD size but I guess a 250 GB should be recognized correctly.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - can I upgrade to Windows 7?

    I have a Satellite Pro A120 (model PSAC1A-045005 - purchased in Australia) I want to upgrade to Windows 7, XP
    The Toshiba Australia website says it is not compatible with Windows 7 and the Windows XP upgrade to Windows 7 is not supported.
    Searching the Web I found some sites that say they have the drivers on the computer. Only one address is the following:
    http://driver-Toshiba.blogspot.com/2009/12/Toshiba-Satellite-Pro-A120-PSAC1-for.html

    No doubt these drivers would be unofficial. They would be reliable or would it cause problems?
    I use a wireless router so would be particularly concerned if it caused problems with this

    To provide you with accurate answers, someone must have the same model of laptop and test it for you.
    To be honest, you will be very happy if someone here will do that for you.

    So my advice is: install Win7 and test these drivers only. If something is wrong or you will not be satisfied with the functionality, you can back up the operating system more former and supported when you want.
