Satellite Pro L300 - 297 Doesnt detect RAM

My laptop came with 1 GB of 'slot' alreay of RAM installed and 1 GB of RAM I had to install. It worked well, but recently my computer could not recognize 1 and now control panel displays the computer with 1 GB of RAM not 2. What is the best way to check if both of my slots work? And if I wanted to move to 2 GB or 4 GB in one of the slots, what is the best way to go about this?

Thank you
Stan

Hello

First of all, you should check if the two slits are ok.
Remove a RAM module and test the other RAM module in both memory slots.
If the two slits would recognize the RAM module this means that both locations are correct and that the module is working properly.

Then repeat the same procedure with the other module of RAM.

> And if I wanted to move to 2 GB or 4 GB in one of the slots, what is the best way to go about this?
You will need to check if the laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM.
This is mentioned in the user manual.

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start - cannot get into the BIOS

    Dear,

    I got a satellite Pro L300, width a HARD drive partitioned, with Win XP installed C and D with Windows 7 installed, the problem is the following:

    Days when I turned on my laptop, the OS splash screen appears, stop boot on Toshiba logo process.
    In addition, I can't enter the BIOS with the F2 key or the Boot Manager by using the F12 key.

    Help, please.

    > stop boot on Toshiba logo process
    This means that the laptop can not pass the POST (power on self test) properly and it would mean that a hardware problem has been detected on the motherboard.

    Remove one of the modules RAM (check both) and try to turn on using a single module of RAM.
    It is possible that one of the RAM modules is defective

    It would also be possible that the motherboard is malfunctioning, as you can see, it is hard to say what role could be wrong, but what looks like a serious hardware failure

  • Satellite Pro L300 - USB card reader does not support the 64 GB

    HI I have a Satellite Pro L300 under Win XP that I want to attach a USB card reader. I find that I can not read the 64 GB cards. The error is that the card is not formatted. All other cards read correctly. I can place this card reader in my desktop running Win 10 and it works correctly and reads the 64 GB cards. This seems to indicate that the USB card reader works properly, and perhaps that the problem lies in the USB on the Toshiba drivers. Has anyone else had this problem and found a fix for this. I've just updated the BIOS but no improvement. Thank you

  • Satellite Pro L300 - cursor black screen flashing

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro L300 Vista.

    The customer earned him in because when it starts it goes to home Toshiba screen then goes to a black screen with cursor flashing at the top left. I connected external monitor with the same result. Swapped RAM as well.

    Have run Memtest (spent), Seagate HDD long test (past), Ultimate boot CD and Winternals without success.
    * F8 does not work * and no more than the resumption of the plant.

    Can enter the BIOS F2 and F12 no problems and the HARD drive is listed.

    I reinstalled Vista on CD and on reboot it goes back to blinking cursor. I tried booting from the Vista CD repair and system restore. FixBoot commands and FixMbr prompt as well as with the same result.
    I feel that it may be a corrupt CMOS sensor? It's like the OS installs correctly, but the computer loses his memory on reboot where the operating system?

    Is the battery CMOS easily accessible and removable on this model?

    Has anyone experienced these symptoms? Is - fixable at lower cost?

    Hello

    If you have clients, I guess you're a technician and hope you have a few pieces of equipment in your store.
    Have you tried to set the BIOS to default settings and check again?
    If possible try to exchange the HARD drive and test the functionality again.
    You can use laptop with Linux live CD (HARD drive not required)?

    To be honest that I think n problem t is ORGANIC and, in my opinion, the exchange of the CMOS battery is not necessary.

    Please test it with the new HARD drive and post comments.

  • Upgrade CPU of my Satellite Pro L300-152

    Hello

    my laptop is a:

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-152
    Model no. PSLB1E-01R015EN
    Celeron 560 2.13 GHz

    Can someone tell me what CPU I can pass safely, I use it in a cool environment and care about a few 100 mhz more of her.

    Thank you for your support

    Before you start to discuss CPU upgrade, check it please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    My personal opinion is that upgrading the CPU won't help much and you will not realize a difference in performance for laptop. In my opinion need more RAM or SSD better and faster. This better and better performance some CPU with 100 mhz dating more than one.

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start

    I have a portable Satellite Pro L300 and he won't start (in other words the power button and not going not past the first screen).

    Works for keyboard, but F2, F8 or F12 will not do anything, I can't here the disk hard powerup but it's like no one is at home. I don't know if it's the motherboard or the onboard battery. The computer is about 7-8 years

    Can anyone help.

    It s certainly nothing wrong with a RTC battery (as you said internal battery).
    The RTC battery can be charged. The unit must be turned on and adapter must be connected at least for about 18 hours.
    But I guess that this isn't a problem.

    The laptop does not start because of a hardware malfunction, but it's hard to say what role may be affected. But you should absolutely consult the RAM modules.
    This should be the first step, since the RAM modules are easy to replace.

    All other parts should be checked by the type of service.

  • Satellite Pro L300-291 - Ok on AC, but fails on DC

    Does not work on DC. Battery is good appearently (both Win7 and HMONITOR reported as 100% - said HMONITOR there 17% wear, which is consistent with the age) works OK on AC, but do not start or run on DC and 'die' if connector ca pulled.

    Win7 detects if the battery is removed and he is happy when he is handed over.
    Panel lights are compatible with a battery in good condition - without blinking.

    This happened after that I put fully powered - off normally let it sleep.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - second defective memory Slot?

    Hi, I'm trying to install 4 GB of memory in a laptop Satellite Pro L300. This kind of thing, I did a thousand times before.

    However, every time I install a module of memory in the second memory slot, the laptop will be a blue screen when windows is loaded. Even running memtest (via bootable cd) will result in a block, so it is not for lack of Windows.

    I have the latest version of the BIOS installed (1.50)

    Each module of memory works perfectly in the main location on its own.

    With the help of a single module of memory in the memory secondary slot (even the original 1 GB module) translates the laptop does not even start.

    Is this a known issue? Or is it just a second faulty slot?

    Thank you very much!

    Maybe it's a non compatible memory module.

    What model of laptop you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
    What extra RAM you bought?
    Have you checked the compatibility?

    To be honest on this forum you will find many forums where people have described the same problem after upgrade. Most of these problems described was linked to the use of markets and not compatible good RAM modules.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - no video capture hardware

    Hi all, I'm new to the Forum so apologize me if this question has already been answered previously.

    I am trying to connect a USB Webcam to my Satellite Pro L300-153. Wizard installs the webcam and updates the drivers etc, but trying to work webcam a mistake happens "* webcam works not properly no video capture hardware detected."

    Can someone advise please. Thanks for your help.

    Hey Buddy,

    In my opinion, you must contact the manufacturing of this USB webcam. I put t know which model you have, etc. and there it s a Toshiba forum so I think that no one can tell you if it s associated with driver problem or camera itself.

    But I put t understand why do you use an external webcam. AFAIK all Satellite L300 are equipped with internal webcam

    Hello

    Why do you think Win XP does not work on satellite Pro L300?
    Of course, you can install Win XP on this laptop.

    I think that you didn't read all the threads here in the forum about this theme.
    Am I wrong? I think you should take a little time and have read some threads here
    It is really useful and could learn a little more about the installation of the OS.

    PS: All the Win XP drivers are placed on the page of the European driver Toshiba ;)

  • Satellite Pro L300 29V - hard drive is dead

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-29V only about 2 months, and suddenly the hard drive (very full) is apparently dead.

    Initially the laptop starts Windows correctly, but now the HD is not yet recognized in the BIOS. If it goes beyond the Toshiba splash screen, I get the thing PXE saying "a cable is unplugged. I tried to re-allocation of places the reader twice, but still nothing.

    It's really disturbing, because I had transferred recently practically my whole LIFE on it on other computers which many many many hours of musical recordings that I can't really afford to lose.

    I think I'll have to buy a HD dock and see if I can read and copy the data.

    Does anyone else have this problem? It is likely that the drive could have been erased?

    I should also mention that a day or two before this happened, my girlfriend was using etc. Open Mobile (Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word,) - computer I pressed the power button that normally makes hibernate - and when I turned it back, rather than resume where he left off, the computer started from zero and no work/windows were saved.

    I'm afraid that might be some stupid day, Avira, or on the Windows updates without end that has damaged something...

    EDIT: OK, I have a picture of the error I received before complete failure, but I can't download it here. Here is the text (on a blue screen):

    Hi mate,

    First of all, I must say that I have this Satellite L300 too. But I didn t have no problem, the HARD drive works fine for 1.5 years and I use this laptop for Internet and emails everyday. I m very satisfied.

    However, what do you hear now?

    I hope that you can copy your data to another device and you will need a new HARD drive for your Satellite Pro L300. That's fact!
    In addition, there are a few good programs that they can the recovery of data from faulty hard drives. Just search with Google, you will find some interesting links.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro L300 - cannot use the 4 GB memory full

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 model: PSLBDE-003005AR

    I upgrade my memory to 4 GB using 2x2gb PC2-5300 667 Mhz memory. When I installed the memory and I turn on my laptop the installation always pop up. When I removed the 2 GB of memory to do only 2 GB I spend on my laptop and it works.

    I am using windows Vista premium 32-bit edition. I wonder why I do not work with 4 GB of memory. I installed the memory correctly, but it does not work to 4 GB.

    > Laptop is a Satellite Pro L300 PSLB1A - 01 L 019. Lists of the Toshiba Site the maximum memory 2 GB spec however sheets provided with the laptop shows a maximum of 4 GB of RAM.

    This chipset uses this device?
    There are different L300 with different chipsets and different hardware components.
    Some L300 would be able to support 4 GB and some are limited to 2 GB of RAM.

    So if Toshiba says 2 GB are max so it's good and you will not be able to use 4 GB of RAM.

  • Satellite Pro L300-1 b 9 cannot connect to my wireless router

    Hello!

    I activated the nw wireless on SAT L300 PRO 1 b 9 - but with a lot of struggle...
    First I had to find the switch to turn on (I never got :-)).
    Then I had to uninstall Atheros Windows and set flags on (activate) in the Windows driver.

    But in Linux and Windows, I couldn't connect to my wireless router.
    My luck was that some of my neighbors have a wireless network security-disabled, open, I could map to test.
    The test was succecfully with this network, but my wireless router was inaccessible.
    The other machine I could reach it.

    The result was:
    If I set the router to broadcast the SSID, the two OSs (Ubuntu + Windows) can use the wireless network.

    But if I turn off the broadcast (to protect my router), the network driver is unable to use my router, it does not matter I set the SSID...

    A router is WRT54G, and he works with other computers if I hide the SSID, but as Satellite Pro L300 unable to connect (with this option).

    Someone knows why? What should I do to I could hide the SSID to the bad guys?

    Thanks for any help!

    I put t know what Windows operating system you use, but if you use original Vista, I think that, good WLAN driver is part of the package. For the wireless network adapter must be properly installed.

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here, but if the laptop can see and detect your WLAN network side laptop computer s everything should be OK. Try to reboot your router and check all the settings.

    In my opinion, there is a problem with the WLAN settings.

    Hello

    I think it might be related to high temperatures.

    Have you noticed a hot air coming from vents?

    Usually the laptop stops automatically to avoid that the pieces of equipment against damage.

    So you need to check if the vents are clogged with dust and debris in most cases you can remove it using a jet of compressed air.

  • Problem with satellite Pro L300 Ethernet controller

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A - 02L 001). Have'nt after being on the dial for the year last I was wireless (it worked well before that) but am now back on broadband but I don't seem to have any wireless.
    Checked the Device Manager and there is a yellow exclamation next to the ethernet controller and it seems there is no pilot, but apart from that, there is no further details. I tried to update the driver but it cannot find the driver on my computer and it will not search the Internet for this.

    I tried, but none of the drivers I downloaded seems to work...
    At the back of the computer laptop is a sticker - PA3613U-1MPC, I think it's the wifi card that is missing the driver but I can't find a driver for it for the life of me...

    Any help would be wonderful.
