  1. thesis topic:
  My wish is to extend more than 512 MB memory, if possible. The user manual mentions that the maximum ram is 192 MB so added a module of memory of 128 MB (64 MB of non-removable memory). But the program "SiSoftware Sandra Pro 2005" detects and indicates:
  "Number of memory slots: 3.
  "Bank0(64M), Bank1(64MB), Bank2 (empty).
  "Maximum Installable memory 1 GB.

  I see only a single slot in the memory compartment. Where is "Bank2?
  According to data of Sandra, I install a module of 512 MB increasing memory in a total of 576 MB? What do you suggest for me? Finally, what is the maximum memory extension of this machine? What types, models and brands of memory I can install? buffered or not?

• Satellite A40 - question about upgrading the processor

  If I upgrade my Satellite A40 processor with hyper-threading technology to 3 .00GHz, the problem s s don't past not my chipset for hypo threads, should I have a problem on my terms of portable?...

  Hello

  If you open your notebook and do something about yourself, you will lose your warranty.

  Just FYI; the processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation. As far as I know because of this method of connection, upgrade the CPU is not possible.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A10: Question CPU Upgrade

  I want to improve my laptop with a new processor.
  (Material) socket ist a 479. But when I ask about my current CPU Intel, he said my it's a 478.
  The Chipset is an Intel 852/855 GM/GME, Intel ChipsetUtility.

  I'm a bit confused on the different data on the socket.
  With processors will fit?

  Hello

  I m not sure about the CPU socket in the Satellite A10 but I use the tool called Everest home edition and this tool provides all the necessary information on the type of socket and other important information from the CPU.

  But as far as I know the Satellite A10 and Pro A10 has been bundled with hardware specifications different and different CPU's.
  It seems the Pentium 4-M Intel and the Intel Mobile Celeron CPUS are compatible:

  Mobile Intel Pentium 4-M model
  Basic operation a processor 1.80/1.90/2.00/2.20GHz Pentium 4 with clock internally 1.80/1.90/2.00/2.20/1.20GHz, 400 MHz bus, and 1.30/1.20V
  Mobile Intel Celeron model
  Basic operation of bus 400 MHz, a 1.80/2.00/2.20GHz with a clock Celeron processor internal 1.80/2.00/2.20GHz and 1.30V

  But I put really recommend t the upgrade of the CPU.
  As far as I know the firmware must be updated after the replacement of the processor and motherboard. If you n updated microcode t the CPU will run only at 600 Mhz.

  Be careful!

  I'm looking for some RAM for a Satellite P200, although I can't find it on any list of compatibility.

  I'm hoping to get two 2 GB of RAM DDR2 880.
  Can you help me please.

  The RAM will be downrated to a slower speed in the Toshiba or the 880 works perfectly?

  Thanks for your time.

  Hello

  > RAM will be downrated to a slower speed in the Toshiba or the 880 works perfectly

  Sorry, but I don t know what you mean by 880. Do you mean the module 880 Mhz DDR2?

  There are different models of Satellite P200, but generally you can use DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM barrettes

  Compatible module runs at 667 Mhz.

• Satellite A200SE - Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I am trying to upgrade the disk of 60 GB to 250 GB. The operating system is Windows Vista Business. The new drive is a Western Digital Scorpio SATA.

  1 - image backup of the disk system external HARD using backup/restore Vista
  2. use the system recovery disk to reload Windows.
  3 - the disk is formatted and Windows installs apparently. (From recovery disk.)
  4. after reboot, Setup is aborted with message saying (roughly) "Setup cannot continue because of the configuration".
  5 - as usual the message gives no indication as to the cause.

  All the tips and forums involve replacing drive HARD is simple. Does anyone have an idea?

  Ideas would be very appreciated!

  Hi scamp126,

  I m wondering recovery disc doesn t work because usually this disk still works, you install a new HARD drive

  What you can try is a Microsoft Windows disk. Perhaps that the recovery disk is scratched and the files can't be read properly.

• Satellite A40: Question about upgrade from the DVD UJ-850

  Hello

  I have a satellite A40, I recently installed a new motherboard to. Everything now works perfectly, and I plan to change the CDRW/DVD drive to a dvd burner.

  The current player is a panasonic-UJDA750. I intend to replace it with a UJ-850 for the dvd burner. Could someone please advise whether it is a good drive to go to any other suggestion and if I need different drivers for the drive to work or is it just a straight swap out.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  Before you buy a slim drive you must be sure that this drive is compatible with the Satellite A40.
  There is a big difference between external drives for desktop PCs and laptops.
  The master/slave/c-salt settings on slim drives are fixed and cannot be changed.

  If you buy a slim with wrong settings drive, the BIOS does not recognize the drive and you'll get an error IDE #1.

  I recommend that you contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask guys for compatible DVD burner for you A40.

  As a reader of DVD-R/RW compatible, you can use the Toshiba SD-R6112 or drive Pioneer G8CC0001L810 drive.
  I also found some readers of DVD-Multi (CD-R/RW DVD-RAM/R/RW) compatible:
  Panasonic G8CC00019810
  TEAC G8CC00013810

  Sorry for the strange number, but I guess these are the numbers of Toshiba.
  Try google. You may find a full name.

• Satellite A60: Question about upgrade from the CD - RW drive

  I have a laptop A60 sitting with a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive. I want to upgrade to a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. I understand that I have the choice between UJDA 750 and the SD-R2512. Someone can offer a preference and I need firmware / drivers for these to work?
  Is it simply a matter of just replacing the unit?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I assume that the best idea is to have the DVD burner. In this case, there is possibility to burn CDs and DVDs all formats. I found the info A60 also comes with super-multi drive (TEAC DV-W24E) and this should be also compatible with your A60.

  For the feature, the firmware is not relevant as the compatibility of the player.

• Satellite 2430 - Question on upgrade graphics card

  Can I update the graphics card from nvidia on the 128 MB model?

  Hello

  This topic has been discussed a lot of time in this forum. If you wish, you can use the advanced search to search for similar topics.
  But now, you ask:
  It is generally not possible to update the graphics card. The graphics card is a little chip that attaches to the motherboard. The technology of the laptop is very different as a desktop PC.

  Well, the second reason is an overheating problem. A graphics card with a great performance produces more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.

  Good bye

• Satellite A40: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I got old A40 son of infections of Virus and spyware. Now, I want to improve.

  At the present time, I have still the old Bios and a 30 GB IDE drive at 4200 RPM. (model n ° PSA45E-007N1-EN)
  It's like the A10 that accepts maximum 60 GB drive or I can't do big?

  One provider suggested that I stay at 4200 RPM, but to ask Toshiba what they recommend, so far unanswered.
  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  How have you tried to ask Toshiba? As far as I know, you can ask the service provider authorized in your country information but not a Toshiba directly.

  However, I studied a bit here in the forum and found this thread:

• Satellite A105-S4064: memory upgrade Questions

  Hello

  I plan on upgrading the ram in my Toshiba A105-S4064 (preinstalled with 512 MB). I wanted to discover a few questions, if I could.

  First of all, what RAM would be compatible to install in housing, no?

  Second, the size of the new RAM should be the same as the RAM that is already installed (in other words, 512 MB)?

  In addition, only adding the new RAM to a laptop invalid warranty Toshiba?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Hello

  I see that you have several questions about upgrading memory on your A105
  OK I'll try to make the best, I hope ;)

  Firstly you can upgrade the memory and the warranty still valid
  Upgrading memory hasn t any bad influence on the validity of the guarantee

  Second, you can mix the sizes of memory. … for example, you can use 256 + 512 or 512 + 1024 MB, etc.
  This is possible because you can upgrade it to 4 GB max

  And now finally something you kind of compatible modules it looks like you could use a DDR2 PC2-4200 533 MHz modules

  I hope this info will help you :)

• 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:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/Forums/Forum.jspa?forumid=114

  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.

• Satellite Pro 4300 - memory upgrade problem

  Hello

  I know that the issue has been already discussed several times, but it seems that none of the solutions or suggestions posted earlier apply to my situation.
  I recently bought an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300. The laptop has a slot filled memory of 64 MB module of the system's total memory was 128 MB.
  Because in my opinion, the system has worked to slow down, I decided to buy an additional memory module. I bought 128 MB - module TOSHIBA PA3005U k and placed in the slot B

  I was very surprised when I found that, after the upgrade, Windows showed that the total memory is 192 MB.
  When I put the 128 MB in the slot module is and the old module of 64 MB in the slot B - the surprise was even bigger, given that windows showed only 128 MB.

  I first thought that the slot B is defective, but in this case, it would be impossible to get in the first place the 192 MB. Then I thought that the new module of memory was either defective or it was 64 MB instead of 128 MB, but this option is also likely, according to my observations. Furthermore, I checked with EVEREST software system and it recognizes the new module as 128 MB module, but does not see the old 64 MB module.

  The situation is quite strange. Does anyone has an idea whay happens?

  Kind regards

  Sebastian

  To my knowledge, the 4300 Satellite Pro can be upgraded to 320 MB max.
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5769&ft=m&St=3

  64 MB module which was fitted with your laptop should not be removable.
  So in this slot ONLY this 64 MB module could work properly.

  I know it's strange but the computer world is sometimes strange ;) you know :D

• Satellite Pro 6100 BIOS upgrade question

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite pro 6100 and currently it has 1.60 bios version and saw that the last update of the bios is the 1.90. My question is: is it question where I get the update of the bios of wheather it is from the site of toshiba UK or the United States, is the same bios update, or are they different? The other question is what I have to do the previous bios updates first 1.60 1.70 1.80 and finally to 1.90, or can I just do the 1.90 and who will have the previous updates in that one later?

  Hi Christian,

  I normally prefer to get the update of the BIOS in the same country as I bought the laptop. However, given that the laptop was probably manufactured around the world, I don't think it bothers us really until the update is marked as compatible with your model of laptop. In principle, the update of the BIOS for the components of the laptop and is therefore more linked to the actual model in his country of origin.

  It is not normally necessary load the intermediate versions of BIOS as BIOS is usually not cumulative but is provided as a complete package and includes all the code required.

  Kind regards
