Toshiba A30 RAM update

Hello:

I bought a Toshiba A30 in early 2004. The default memory is 256M. Recently, I buy two 512M of memory.
and I hope to undate the memory to 1 G. But unfortunately, only 512M RAM has been identified in
BIOS. Can someone tell me why the 2nd 512 M cannot
be identified in my laptop? Thank you.

Hi Dave,.

There is no reason why your laptop should not run with two 512 MB RAM modules. I have exactly this configuration in my own A30.

I suggest re-seats of the modules to ensure that they are properly contacting and then try swapping around to see if the problem persists.

It is always possible that one of the modules is faulty, so try each in turn to check that they are both recognized correctly.

Don't forget to make sure that you are properly grounded before touching the RAM modules. It is very easy to damage them with a discharge of static electricity.

Good luck

  • Re: 1 GB of RAM / update BIOS for Satellite 1110

    Hello

    I ordered 2 x 512 MB of RAM at CompuRAM. According to their information 1 GB is possible for this model. According to the user manual only 512 MB is possible. As normally CompuRAM information is right (maybe necessary BIOS update), I tried.

    But it does not work. I can only use 1 x 512 MB.

    Does anyone have information on RAM update for Toshiba Satellite 1110 (model PS111E-003DN-GR/S1110-Z16)?
    Could help update the BIOS?
    How to find the update of the BIOS in the Toshiba homepage (model 1110 does not exist)?

    For any help thanks!

    Hello

    I found the info that this notebook can handle with 512 MB max.
    Sorry, but the BIOS update is unable to help.

  • Toshiba will be updating video driver from Nvidia NVS 2100 M for Tecra S11?

    Toshiba will be updated driver Nvidia NVS 2100 M of S11?

    My S11 machine is almost 3 years old. In the first year there was a lot of update for the drivers, but last year 1 there is no update.

    Official website of nvidia, there is a driver download page, but if I install the last driver - no matter that one - I have several video driver related issue. So I downgrade to the Toshiba nvidia driver.
    I'll try this one
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/Quadro-notebook-WIN8-Win7-WinVista-64bit-310.90-WHQL-driver-all.html

    If nvidia or toshiba will update the video driver?

    To be honest I don t think that Toshiba will offer updates for older models of laptops.

    As you probably know Toshiba offers modified and tested the drivers so it will be interesting to know what kind of problems you have with the NVIDIA driver.

  • Toshiba A30-213 with Win XP Professional

    Hello, evrey body

    I bought a Toshiba A30-213

    Saudi Arabia Jarira Bookstore

    By default this cam model with Win XP Home Edition

    But now I want to upgrade to Win XP Professional

    When I bought the CD in Win XP Professional to install it on my machine, he asked me a few drivers for hardware, but these drivers are not available on the CD that came with my TOSHIBA laptop.

    And when I ask the Merchant (Jarira book stores) on how to install WIN XP Professional, they said, that Win XP Professional will not run in laptop A30-213

    It is amazing to me!

    How THOSHIBA recommend Win XP professional and home edition in laptops offer?

    And if it is possible to install Win Xp professional in my laptop, how to install it?

    Hello

    Yes it is possilbe to ru XP prof on a Satellite A30.
    When you bought the laptop, you have a CD of tools & utilities. There are all the XP drivers included and this CD can also be used to XP prof. There is no difference!

    You must run Setup XP prof and do not install any driver installation. Then after completing the installation, you must take your Tools & Utilities CD and look for an html file. This file contains the proper installation order. After that, you can start to install the drivers in this order!

    If you can't find all the drivers, that I could not brewed, you could go to https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com, Support & downloads and downloads Dirver.
    There are all versions of current driver for download!

    Hi Dan

    Sorry, but I don't know if you will be able to do it alone. As far as I know that the technicians use special Maintenance manuals where is described exactly how to do this and in what order the parts to be disassembled or reassembled.

    Just after these instructions allow you to do it alone. The problem is that these instructions are not public, and if you want to do only please be careful. A small mistake can cause damage.

    Hello

    Well, you can use the System Restore tool.
    You can find this program useful in Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore.
    Then you can restore your operating system to an earlier time.
    But if you want to boot from the CD, you will need to press C during the startup process.

  • Satellite Pro S300: modem 3G & Toshiba Wireless Manager Update

    I received through Toshiba Tempro an update for my Toshiba Satellite Pro S300 (W7 32-bit) for a 3 G modem and Toshiba Wireless Manager.
    After the State Manager is installed, there is not such a modem.

    This laptos has a build-in modem, where can I put a SIM card in?
    Otherwise how to install a SIM card in this laptop to have internet access anywhere where I'm going?

    Hello

    TEMPRO shows a downloaded driver information!
    The point is that laptops are equipped with different hardware components and not all models support the same hardware specification.
    Maybe your S300 has not been equipped with 3G modem but other S300 support 3G.

    However, you can check device manager if a 3G device is in the list

  • Satellite Pro A30 - RAM to help to improve the graphic system

    I have a Toshiba Satellite PRO A30 and I recently went to a computer fair when I learned that I couldn't change the graphics because it is built in processor, but the guy told me I could use the RAM on my laptop (which is 1.2 GB) to improve the graphics up to 128 MB? is it true on this type of laptop, I looked everywhere on the net for how to do and say everything, it is to do so through the phoenixbios I have tried to do so but do not cause on my bios it doesn't gives not the possibility to change it, will I need an update for my bios?

    Hi Mark,

    Your information is basically correct. The SA30 uses RAM shared for its graphics chip, so in principle, you can specify which part of your main RAM that you want to use for this purpose. However, the ability to specify the RAM allocation is controlled by the BIOS, and if the manufacturer of the BIOS has chosen to preselect the value of RAM graphic, then, you will not be able to change it.

    I know that Phoenix BIOS allows the allocation of RAM to specify up to 128 MB (16, 32, 64 and 128 values) and it can also be defined in the properties display ("Advanced" tab), select the Frame Buffer and check which is entered for the value of the AMU.

    I think that the option in the BIOS is also called UMA and appears on the second page of the BIOS update, about half way down the screen.

    Kind regards

    My laptop toshiba Satellite Pro L510 computer may not play all discs as I installed Microsoft Expression Studio 4 by using the original CD... now whenever I insert a disc, the dvd - ram turns the disc for a few seconds and thn stops spinnig.

    Then drive shows that there is nothing inside the disk and it is completely empty.

    I uninstalled the drive, the updated drivers, but it did not help. Please help me, I really need to use dvd ram... I use windows xp sp2 and using the laptop for 8-9 months...

    Help, please!

    According to this statement you must have installed Windows XP SP3 home edition.

    Your ad is a bit confusing to me. You have a problem with the functionality of DVD - RAM or optical disc drive cannot read all drives (different CD, DVD, DVD - R formats. DVD + R and so on)?

    I put t know what is the problem with the optical disc drive, but way generally, an installation of software packages has nothing to do with ODD when you use it as first boot device.
    > I can not even restart my operating system discs cannot be read from the BIOS either.
    Restart or reinstall?
    Is a readable recovery DVDs when you try to start the recovery image installation?

    Just updated to Vista Ultimate and thought it would be good to get some more RAM. Have 1 GB at the moment, but wanted to upgrade to 4 GB. Can someone please tell me what would be my laptop and what is a good model and not too expensive to get. Any help would be great.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Important is to use the compatible RAM module.
    If you want to use 4 GB max you use 2 x 2 GB module.

    I recommend you to use Toshiba PA3513U-1M2G or Kingston modules.

  • Envy 15-j104el: updated NETWORK WiFi card and RAM update

    Goodmorning to everyone

    I write this post to ask for information on the possibility to do an upgrade of hardware on my HP Envy 15-j104elsystem.

    That's what I would do:

    -Replace the network card (NIC) to a wireless better and possibly with a compatible AC NIC.

    -Update to 16 GB of ram, put benches with CL9 SODIMM

    The questions that I want to bring to your attention are:

    -There is a 'white list' for the wifi card on my BIOS (actually F66)?
    (consultation with the service manual there are little NIC OEM selled, y at - it ONLY compatible?)

    -Put the sticks of ram CL9 (instead of CL11 currently OEM mounted), I can inprove the overall performance?

    I want to install are:

    -Intel Wireless-AC 7260 more Bluethoot HMC 4.0


    -Kingston HyperX Impact DDR3L 16 GB (2x8gb) SODIMM 1600 Mhz CL9 (Kit)

    According to your experiences, is it compatible? I can buy them without any problem?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. Thanks for your suggestions

    In particular, I take this opportunity to greet and also need the help of my friend @visruth ;)

    1. no whitelist. Your laptop was conducted after HP stopped using a white list so that you can install any card with the right form factor and the number of antennas. The Intel 7260 card should work.

    2. you can install the CL9 memory but it will not do anything all run faster. The motherboard is made to operate at the speed of the OEM memory so the Kingston Hyper-X will work, but the specifications of it in operation will be the same as memory OEM.

    Thanks in advance
