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 6000 - new RAM does not work

    Hi all

    New to this forum sorry if this was asked before, I did a search but could not find anything so here goes.

    I just bought a new RAM for my Satellite Pro 6000. When I install it nothing happens the laptop won't boot. If I put the old stick in no problem. The ram I bought is unb 512 MB PC133 CL3 and old RAM 256 MB PC133s. I think little small to read with these old eyes.

    I was told I might need an update of the BIOS but cannot find one for my laptop under 1.4 for the moment.
    Any help would be thank Lindsey

    I think that the new RAM is not compatible with the motherboard or laptop.

    The manufacturing of the new RAM you said does not for me so I would buy an another RAM, such as Kingston. Kingston makes high quality RAM and many users here buy Kingston RAM to upgrade its RAM.

    By the way: do you use the RAM or only the new? Normally, if you use two memory modules live, you must use it with the same specifications.

    The update of the BIOS, you can find the Toshiba site, but this doesn t affect the compatibility of Aries.

  • Satellite P10 - 554 dvd - ram does not work

    I got a Satellite P10 554, and as I said above the RAM does not work.
    It should be a software problem, because if I reinstall the drivers it works a few minutes (it did until now yesterday it stopped completely)
    It is impossible to install the new drivers or update a firmware somehow
    (pilot: after rebooting, the old drivers are loaded again (but I uninstalled them))
    (firmware update: I still got the message: invalid drive to update f/w)

    I hope that someone of you can help me ;)

    Hello

    What did you mean with the work of t car doesn?
    You are not able to burn or read the media?

    The error message says it all. I think you re not able to update the firmware because the firmware is not supported on this drive.

    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then shut down the laptop.
    Usually after restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again.
    If this does not help, you can try to remove the drive from the laptop. Turn on the unit, then go into windows. The reader should disappear. Then stop and reset the drive in the notebook. After this procedure the laptop must load the firmware again.

    It will be useful.

  • 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 C50-A-153 does not not turn on more - overheat?

    LS,
    A week ago I bought a new laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Pro C50-A-153.

    Last night I was watching some micro-credit (looking for a new holiday) and I noticed that the laptop was overheating.
    I hit the market / stop butten and it turned of... later.
    And now the computer lights no more.

    _Situation: _
    laptop was placed on my table, completely cleared of any blokades for air intake.
    The table was heated. Now after hours of reflection, the computer does not work.
    With or without power line in it.

    What should do?
    Erik

    Hello

    Let's hope that Timox tips might work for you.
    In case of workaround won't help you, I would say that some hardware is dead, and so the laptop does not power and more.

    What part of material likely to be affected? Hmm, in the worst case, your motherboard is faulty.
    But I think first of all that some less expensive parts need to be checked for example RAM modules.

    RAM failure would prevent the laptop to boot and so I would check the modules first.
    I don t think there is something wrong with HARD drive because even if the HARD disk is defective, the device turns on but could not start the system.

    But it's a new laptop... so don't replace anything. The guarantee is valid and in the event of hardware problems, the guarantee must cover the laptop repair.

  • A Satellite Pro 6100 graphics card does not work correctly

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite Pro 6100 (PS610E - 02c 60-GR) 1.7 Ghz, 256 MB, 40 GB, 15XT and a Geforce4 420 Go (32 MB) graphic card. Until yesterday it was working properly. Now, there are colors on the screen and there was a blue screen a few times, which says something about my graphics card (it disappeared from fast read).
    I uninstalled the old driver and reinstalled twice. Nothing has changed. Also I tried with an external monitor, but there wasn't any change, too.

    Now my questions:
    1. is it possible to change the graphics card (in particular, can I do it alone without a technician)?
    2. How can I do this, is there some tutorials, especially for my laptop?
    3. an another Geforce4, but for example a Geforce4 440 Go with 64 MB of RAM would fit in my notebook?

    I thank very you much in advance!
    Lukas

    Hi Lukas

    The led flashes as it provides a microcode error!
    This is especially if the malfunction of hardware has been detected.
    I presume that the replacement of the graphics card is the reason!

    As in previous discussions suggested the replacement of the graphics card is NOT possible. You don't believe!
    Looks like that the BIOS cannot handle this new graphics chip.

  • Satellite Pro C650 - cooling fan does not work

    My Satellite Pro C650 overheats and stops automatically within 20 minutes of leaving upwards. I checked the CPU fan and noticed that it does not turn upward, even if the laptop would become very hot. I tested the fan with a 9 volt battery and it works perfectly.

    Can someone tell me exactly what the problem is? And how to solve it.

    Thank you.

    > Can someone tell me exactly what the problem is?
    On this virtual path, no one can say with certainty what the problem is. We can only speculate what may be the problem.
    Usually, cooling fan starts immediately after starting the laptop slows down and offers the optimum temperature of material. After reading your ad I didn t understand how it works. He turns and there is no sign of life?
    Problem can be power.
    Cooling fan will be controlled by sensors of temperature and activity depends on the temperature of the material but if your machine cooling fan does not work, I imagine that there is no electric power.

    What do you think?

  • Satellite Pro P100: remote control does not not-> error ' cannot be read handle. ".

    Hello

    My Satellite Pro P100 began to show the error "Failed to read handle." at startup. I found a related post and removed from the area of registry Toshibarc.exe control startup programs. This does not prevent the pop-up dialog box, but now my remote does not work.

    Does anyone know if toshibarc.exe must run for the remote control work? And if so, how do I fix the error in the program (rather than simply removing from the register). Could this be a hardware problem?

    If I try to manually run the C:\WINDOWS\SMSC\CIRHID\V1_0_0000_0\toshibarc.exe, I get the same popup "Impossible to get read handle.".

    Thanks for any help or ideas
    Steve

    After a long period of investigation in the internet and visit many Web sites, I discovered that the ToshibaRC.exe file belongs to the Remote Application from Toshiba. It seems that the file is required to use the remote on the laptop...
    But I can't give you a reason why it causes an error.

  • Re: Satellite Pro S500 - brightness adjustment does not work correctly

    On my Satellite Pro S500 (preinstalled Windows 7 64-bit) change the brightness by pressing FN - F6 or FN + F7 does not work. The other NF - f... combinations seem to work correctly.

    When I press FN - F6 (or F7) a control box to change the brightness to poster (as expected), but the level is still displayed as "1" independent of the current value (for example changed from Control Panel or with the eco utility) and it is not possible to change it with FN - F6 or F7. I just reinstalled vap and restarted the computer, but nothing has changed.

    Hi asdf.

    I put t know what s wrong exactly but normally the FN keys are associated with value added Package, but you wrote that you already reinstalled

    In my opinion, you should try a system restore to an earlier point. Maybe something messed up the registry, you can start System Restore in Windows Advanced Boot menu.

    Hello

    Firstly the Toshiba Power Saver requires the installation of the common Module.
    The common Module for Win XP v1.00.05 can be downloaded from the European pilot page Toshiba.

    So before installing the energy saver, install common Module, restart the computer, and then try the energy saver.

    In addition the Intel PROSet/Wireless Software can be used only with the Intel Wlan card.
    Is the laptop supports the Intel wireless network adapter?

    AFAIK the L300 series can be equipped with a Realtek, Atheros and Intel Wlan card
    Check it!
