Update the 600e ThinkPad RAM

Hello

I bought an old 600th latter-day for my parents. The model is a 4Ax (PII 366 Mhz, 64 Ram). I wanted to upgrade the RAM, so I had 128 x 2 SODIMM PC100 (total 256). I know that the motherboard only the 66 PC but I found on some forums that some guys could use this kind of module with PC100 SODIMM.

The problem is: my motherboard uses only 160 RAM (32 on board and 128 RAM.)

I wanted to use all the RAM (288 RAM or less 266), but the motherboard uses only 160.

The bios is the last update (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=DSHY-46HLKQ).

When I open the Config in the menu of the Bios, the motherboard recognizes 288 RAM, but it uses only 160.

I also know that I can disable the memory embedded 32 if I open (with Ctrl + D), CMOS editor and I change the values of bytes of 2b (between 80 and 81). In this case, I had less memory: 128 RAM.

How can I make a change in this editor (a few changes of byte values) to use all the RAM (288 or 256 RAM)?

Please help me!

Thanks in advance,

Alex.

I upgraded my with two cards of pc100 256 MB of edge tech Corp., I had to also disable the ram internal. They stock it and works very well. just follow the prompts for your machine and go from there. made a big difference in performance.

  • I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?

    I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?

    It is a decision that was made by Apple.  El Capitan is the newest OSX that will support a 2009 MBP.

    This is not uncommon.  My 2006 MBP came with Tiger, but is limited to OSX Snow Leopard.

    Old hardware ends up by becoming obsolete with newer technology.

  • Update the series/model number in the BIOS (ThinkPad 2nd Gen Helix)

    Hello! I have a ThinkPad 2nd Gen Helix (model 20CG000QUS), I replaced the motherboard in (because I'm with a Lenovo authorized service depot), but I'm unable to update the series/model number in the BIOS. I tried the utilties USB and bootable diskette and nor will not work (I can't boot from either one sense). This is despite me turning off the Secure Boot option in the BIOS. When I enter my credentials for the key to maintenance/diskette, I find the download ok in, but on the page for the supported systems for this key maintenance/diskette, the Helix model I have is NOT LISTED. I tried to update using other utilities and I get the words of INVA LID, and I can only replace the "LID". So, basically, I'm stuck.

    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

  • How can I update the BIOS without using a CD?

    Hello!

    I recently decided to update my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB. After installation, I started my computer to find that it would not recognize the new memory. After doing some troubleshooting, I decided to try to update the BIOS, like the 2010 version. I have downloaded the update to the BIOS boot CD implementation of lenovo, burned a disk and restarts, I found that the boot order has no CD contained thereon. Here's the catch: I do not have the supervisor password. It is a mobile phone in hand, and I tried to find the password nothing is done. It's the current boot order: USB key, hard drive.

    My question is, can I create a BIOS update disk using a USB key, or update the BIOS of another way?

    I understand that it is impossible to recover the supervisor password without having served (that I prefer to not do, even if I have to return my Crucial RAM)

    My system features:

    ThinkPad L512

    BIOS version: 1.04

    BIOS date: 2010-3-26

    Controller of Embeded Version: 1.01

    Windows 7 32 bit

    Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Two things here:

    (a) If you run the system update, it should offer the latest BIOS for your machine as well. I never did on a protected device, so it may or may not work, but perhaps worth it.

    (b) I doubt the ability of the system to recognize the new RAM has something to do with the BIOS. Much older than your ThinkPads will take place 4-8 GB of RAM with an old BIOS, older than your machine initially.

    Good luck.

  • lost the external monitor feature: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M video card needs to update the driver in El Capitan?

    Hello
    Apparently Apple no longer supports the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M 256 MB and did not update the driver in the operating system to account for its recent update Linux (below)? What is a macbook pro user to do? I know my MBPro is now 5 years - but with an i5 and 8 GB of RAM I think I shouldn't need to take immediately for new?
    Running any video seems to disrupt communication between my Vizio E240AR and MBPro - El Capitan OS (with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M 256 MB).  Power cycling the monitor and then force the MBP via a modification of the resolutions seems to temporarily improve the issue - until I have run video or insist on graphics card memory.

  • The SSD and RAM upgrade

    I have the 13-inch Retina Display early 2015 model. It contains 128 GB SSD and 8 GB of RAM.

    I wanted to update both of them. Is this possible? I agree with HARD drive even if that is supported. 128 GB is not enough for me actually.

    Help, please.

    Without the SSD and RAM are both not upgradable.

    One option is to sell your computer and use the money to buy a new one with the features you need.

    There are two options to add an HD card to your card HD slot. Both options will be flush with the case.

  • NB520 - upgrade the BIOS memory RAM

    Hello
    I have Toshiba NB520, and I would like to know if it is possible to change to a new 4 GB RAM?
    If I replace the 4 GB memory, the computer cannot restart!
    do you know why? I try to update the Bios without success.
    If an organization can help, thanks
    Best regards
    Scopman

    Yes it is possible. I have NB520-11. After reading many threads here I've done my own experiences.
    Using 4 GB RAM on preinstalled original Win7 starter doesn't have any effect because only 2 GB will be usable. I've install my own Win7 32-bit Home Premium and system displays now 4 GB installed and about 3 GB will be usable.

    To upgrade I ve used 4 GB of RAM on my Satellite P500. There PA3677U-1M4G part number.

  • update the iMac mid-2011 or buy a new one.

    Hi guys,.

    I have an iMac 21.5 "mid 2011 with 12 Gb RAM. I was wondering if it was a good idea to override this model (installation of an SSD, etc.) or buying a new iMac.

    I am not very happy with RAM soldered to the logic board of the new models 21.5 ". Load path Apple extra RAM too. Most users may not upgrade RAM or change SSDS by themselves, but, I'm a small part of those who like to modify and update my Mac, I like to do and not be restricted by a marketing strategy.

    However, what do you think?

    Looking at the price of new iMacs, I would setup an SSD and more RAM if your iMac runs correctly. You will save money, and this computer will last you a few years without glitches.

    However, if you feel that your iMac is not powerful enough for the tasks you do, go for a new iMac. As you say, Apple does not allow you to change anything (except installation RAM on iMac 27 inches), so buy the iMac with the amount of RAM and disk that meet your needs.

  • Problems after updating the BIOS on Satellite Pro P200

    I recently buy a Satellite Pro P200 running Windows Vista Business. Yesterday, I updated the BIOS to the version 1.50 supplied with the machine to 1.80 available on the Toshiba site. I double checked that I was using BIOS correct update for the Pro P200 Satellitel running Vista.

    After updating the BIOS, I have now two problems:

    1. whenever I start and join the office, I get an error message "record of Vista has stopped working". This problem has been identified as toshibavistaregistration.exe here: [link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=99805]

    2 Control Panel > system now shows the processor and the memory (RAM) as "not available". Execution of the diagnostic PC Toshoba tool and looking at basic information show also no information on the memory (RAM) Although the processor information here. There may be pieces others missing too under the eyes of list shorter than before the update of the BIOS.

    Basically, I want to get everything working again as it should, but cannot find any information on these issues.

    After further review, it appears that the update of the BIOS is not the cause of the problems.

    Immediately after updating the BIOS, I had a major system crash. It turns out that this is what has caused problems.

    After a system restore to a point before the update of the BIOS and the major system crash, now everything is working again with BIOS version 1.8 in place.

    However, it seems that I can't enter the BIOS more.

    I tried several buttons, but it just won't let me get bios of the laptop more.
    Which button to use to access the BIOS?

    Are there recommended RAM sets should I use because of compatibility issues?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Kind regards.
