Upgrade memory for Portege M400

I recently tried to upgrade my laptop Portege M400 the original 512 MB of ram to 2 GB (which seems to be possible according to the user manual.

I tried to install the memory standard DDR2-533 (I install 2 x 1 GB). However, when I tried to reboot the computer with the new memory of the hard drive does not recognize the new memory and I had to involve someone with more expertise than me IT. After that I tried to replace the original memory in the computer the hard drive also failed to recognize that and laptop computer were to restore to factory settings before windows would load again.

Can anyone tell me what type of memory should I install? Y at - it Toshiba specific memory that must be installed in the system? And finally, can I just pick this of any toshiba dealer?

Thank you

  • Upgrade memory on Portege 4010

    I want to upgrade my memory Portege 4010 and I know that I need 144 pins/PC133 SO - DIMM SD - RAM. Unfortunately I couldn't understand (in the same after talking to the Toshiba Austria), if I have to buy memory may be high or low density.

    Most of the memory at low prices on eBay is high density and I'm afraid to buy an incompatible.

    I hope that someone already has experience with it. It seems to be my last chance to get some relevant information.

    Thank you.

    As I remember for Portege 4010 maximum memory is 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) and no matter if you choose the version high or low density.
    If you need 100% guarantee you choose the version of low density.

  • Question about the upgrade memory for my Satellite M40-307

    Sorry for the newbie question. But if I have 512 MB of memory for the time being, what are my upgrade options?

    Do I have to buy pairs of memory? So I can or buy 2 x 1 GB = 2 GB, or 2 x 512 MB = 1 GB + 512 existing. Or can I say just buy a single 512 MB or 1 GB chip?

    Since no one wants to answer:
    1. check if your laptop supports Dual Channel Ram (it should be, but just see the manual to be sure)
    2. knowledge of what type of RAM you have. This will add or remove a possibility of upgrade

    The thing with Dual Channel is, that you have the best performance if you use 2 RAM of the same type (really of the same type: company, size...)
    you could:
    3. Add a 512 MB of RAM of the same type you have
    3 b. buy 2 pieces of new RAM of the same type (1 GB + 1 GB, or 2 + 2 GB) and do not forget that your laptop supports this quantity (once again: manual to check)

    You will also find in the manual, if your computer supports DDR or same DDR2 RAM (faster)

    If you have lost your manual, you can download it here on the toshiba Web page

    I hope I could help a little.

  • Pavilion p6608f: upgrade memory for p6608f

    Hello, my Pavilion p6608f came with 4 GB of RAM. I want to upgrade. By HP features, the motherboard is a MSI ms-7613 and it should support up to 16 GB of RAM (4 x 4 GB DIMMS). I bought 4 DIMM which seem to fit specifications, but the computer wouldn't POST after installation. I tried reseating the DIMMs, but no luck. My hypothesis is that the memory is not compatible.  I'm unable to find good information on the compatible memory for this computer on the site of Kingston, MSI site, or the site of HP. (Any ideas on one) why the memory I bought is not compatible and b) how to find compatible memory?

    Thank you.

    Saw that Crucial guarantees their recommendations, I'd go with it.  You may contact their Customer Service to see what they have to say if you are still skeptical.  I have recommended Crucial memory for years without reports of incorrect memory being received.

  • Re: Question about the CD/DVD player for Portege M400

    I have a Portege M100 - and the CD-ROM drive does not work.

    Whenever I put a disc in I can just hear the motor turn the disc, but the computer is not picking up the drive. Device Manager picks up flawless.

    It doesn't seem to be any firmware for this sorting (or am I wrong).

    I've seen a DVD player for a M400 on ebay and I was wondering if that would take on my M100.

    Before buying it, I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be compatible. It seems to be OK size wise, but I was wondering if my Portege M100 XP would be able to use it.

    The description for the drive I want to put in the M100 is below:

    Hi all

    I have a Portege M400 (3G) and I managed to extract the Windows XP Tablet Edidtion the recovery DVDs. I installed Windows XP and all the drivers in the correct order (I've omitted some of the software I don't need) and everyting works fine (in fact, I am posting this from the tablet itself) except for the sound driver. He refused to istall and gives an error message that the software does not apply to this model; even if it is the only available page driver drivers Portege M400(3G).

    any ideas?

    Hello

    where to download the driver? On the European site? Maybe you should try the Canadian site, they sometimes have some drivers who hasn´t europe and maybe you can find the audio driver that matches:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    Otherwise, there is another option: find out which audio chipset is installed, visit the website of manufacturers of this chipset and download the drivers. Him to work.

  • What's the power adapter of Tecra M4 compatible for Portege M400?

    After the failure of my Tecra M4, I bought Toshiba Portege M400. They batteries are the same.
    How compatible are adapters for machines?

    If they are compatible, for example can use one at work and one at home?

    Hello

    You can use them for both machines as the adapters have almost the same current. In your case, you can instantiate your idea with the help at work and another at home.
    I have 3 adapters that have classes 5A and I can drive almost all of my toshiba´s who need 15 v input voltage.

    You can also check current glancing at the bottom of the machine on this small silver sticker. Then, you can be absolutely sure.

  • Upgrade memory for Tecra A5

    Hello, if anyone can help, I would be very grateful.

    I have a Tecra A5 that I bought a few years ago and recently it has become quite slow. On the suggestion of a colleague, I rebooted the machine, remove a lot of unused programs and it seems to have improved.

    However, I would like to upgrade the RAM. Currently, the task manager tells me I have 1 GB of available, and I read that the Tecra A5 can handle 2 GB, which seems likely to boost performance.

    However, looking at the manual and at the bottom of the laptop, it only seems to be a slot to expand memory. Looking at websites selling RAM upgrades, there only seems to be 128, 256, 512 and 1024 MB memory upgrades.

    Here's the question. Should I buy two memory upgrades 1 GB (and if so, where did I put the other?)

    I have a feeling that when I bought the laptop, the seller has provided two upgrades memory of 512 MB.

    Thanks for any advice on this.

    You are right. Your Tecra can be upgraded up to 2 GB. Compatible RAM module has PA3313U-2M1G part number. Are you a location is available downstairs?
    This old Tecra is unknown to me, but what I do know, is that all laptops with a RAM slot at the bottom have an another slot memory under the keyboard.

    If you want to have full access to this slot machine, you must remove the keyboard.

    I'm lookin to upgrade the memory of my laptop and apologies if this has already been resolved, I tried to look through the forum.  I have an Envy 15 t-j100 Quad with the 4700mq processor.  The vehicle currently has a single 8 GB 1600 mhz, cl11, 1.35v sitck.  I thought to upgrade to 16 gb 1866 MHz cl10, 1.35v.  Here is a link  That, or 16 GB 1600 mhz cl9, 1.135v.  The 2nd link

    My main question is: this upgrade would be compatible?

    It would be the first time that I am trying to upgrade the memory and never changed anything about it either in the bios before (just learned about xmp profiles the other day).  It is my understanding that the bios are locked anyway to prevent any form of manipulation of xmp.  Would it cause problems if mhz or case values are different from the memory of the stock?  And which expect the extent of performance without being able to access the xmp profile settings?

    Thank you, and other suggestions are very appreciated.

    Auto-detect and configure the BIOS but within the limits of the system. Yes, you're understanding just what I say. Even if you put the faster memory or lower latency, if it works at all downclock motherboard will it. What you put in, install identical modules. You will get on a 10% increase the speed of im with dual channel memory and you have only two channels if you have 2 identical bars. So if you add another gig DDR3-1600 8 SO-DIMM you will speed up memory and more access to get more memory for multitasking, etc.. This is the page for Kingston:

    You have an SSD drive? I see that the system can come with a 5400 RPM or hybrid disk 5400 RPM and that is where the bottleneck. If you install an SSD you will think that you have upgraded the CPU and memory and died and ascended to heaven. If you need help with this post back. It is not cheap but you looked already expensive memory.
