Upgrade memory for Satellite L30-134

Similar Questions

• For the Archives: The upgrade of the Satellite L30-134

  I'm one of those old cell phones off a friend who had retired as being obsolete.

  However with a little time and money, it is possible to upgrade to a very usable machine.

  Not a power by any stretch but perfectly adequate for browsing the internet and watching videos (about 720 p watchable) standard definition etc.

  So as the search of these forums for more information for this project, I found a lot of conflicting advice, and some of my questions were not answered at all. I hope by documenting my experiences here I can help someone in the same position in the future.

  * Model *.

  This machine is the Toshiba Satellite L30-134, part number: PSL33E-00E013G3. It's probably very similar, but not necessarily the same as the other models L30. No invert them.

  * Original configuration *.

  Processor - Intel Celeron m 410 (Cache of 1 MB, 1.46 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, Socket M). It is a simple version of the Core Duo (Yonah core) processor core. It shares nothing in common and is not swapable with the previous generation Pentium M or processors Celeron Mr. He is also incompatible with the next generation of Core 2 Duo/Solo and Pentium and Celeron processors derived from these.

  Memory - A single 512MB SODIMM PC2 - 4200 (DDR2-533 MHz). This differs from the previous generation of DDR and the next generation of DDR3. The controller memory only supports single channel mode. There is no loss that the FSB of the processor is not fast enough to take advantage of the dual channel anyway.

  * BIOS *.

  My laptop came with very old version 1.3. Toshiba provides the latest version (3.10) for download. This is reported to be buggy and mess with the profiles of fan so I decided to leave it alone. I can confirm that my updates work without updating the BIOS.

  * Updates *.

  Processor - I swapped the Celeron for a Core Duo T2350 (1.87 GHz). Everything I read that all the Yonah core Core Duo/solo, Pentium and Celeron with a FSB of 533 are compatible. The FSB 667 models are not.

  The Core Duo T2450 at 2 GHz is the highest performing compatible processor but double the price on eBay. I paid just £12 (used) for the T2350 so there is really no reason to go down now, all of these parts are obsolete.

  RAM - there are 2 slots on this machine. Toshiba State a maximum of 2 GB, 1 GB in each slot. Unfortunately, the memory controller is very picky and survey of the weird errors, unless you get just the right ones.

  There is not enough information to understand it so for me it was a process of trial and error. Fortunately, I found an online retailer that guaranteed compatibility in 100% and returned by mail for free.

  The second pair of Poles worked well.

  Thanks for sharing!

• Re: How compatible RAM is needed for Satellite L30-134?

  Hello

  I want to upgrade the memory of my L30 - 134 base 512 MB to 2 GB.
  I found a few threads on the type of memory to use, but they were old enough (as the laptop) and I couldn't find the recommended memory more.
  If someone could be so good tell me that the memory still available works certainly with this laptop?

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the product:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&DISC_MODEL=1 & BV_UseBVCookie = yes & PRODUCT_ID = 120941 #0

  standard: 512 MB
  maximum scalability: 2 048 MB

• Re: Can I upgrade RAM on Satellite L30-134?

  Hello!

  My laptop is Satellite L30-134 (PSL33E-00E00WRU).

  I want to use RAM DDR2 800 Mhz 2 x 1 Gb in there. Is this possible?

  On the motherboard FSB speed is 533 MHz so I advise you to use compatible RAM modules.
  I don't know why you want to use these Rams from 800 MHz. For more performance or what?

  Hi Ben

  Maybe you used the memory modules bad.
  As far as I know that you can upgrade memory for max 192 MB
  The 64 MB has been installed in an internal memory and cannot be deleted.

  I found these compatible modules:
  PA3003U - 1 M 03 32 MB
  PS3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB
  PS3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB

• Opportunities to upgrade HDD for Satellite L30-113

  I hope someone can help me on this one. I was wondering what are the possibilities for the upgrade of the disk on a Satellite L30-113. As the largest size of support etc. Or even if it's possible (I don't know much when it comes to upgrading laptops).

  If it is possible to upgrade to a larger size HARD drive what should be and what would be the process to upgrade as well as if there is a limit on the maximum size, etc.?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Each laptop BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and therefore, you can only use a HARD drive formats supported.

  I used the L30 for a long time and to my knowledge, you could use the 40 GB, 60 GB and 80 GB hard drives for sure. Perhaps that the 100 GB HARD drive might work but I m not 100% sure and can not recommend this size of HARD drive.

  However, these hard drives must be compatible:
  Toshiba 40 GB - MK4032GSX
  60 GB - MK6034GSX
  80GB - MK8032GSX

• Upgrade memory on Satellite L30

  I have a Satellite L30 - 11 d and I am wanting to update the modules of memory in it, I found it;

  Part number: PA3411S-2M1G
  1024 MB (1 GB) memory PC2 - 4300 DDR2 (533 MHz)

  and it will work, but im not sure - you can have more than one connected to my laptop?

  Help, please!

  Of course, you can do more then a memory module. On your laptop satellite, there are two slots available, and you can put two memory modules. Your laptop can handle with 2 GB RAM max.

  According to the specifications of the laptop, you should have now 512 MB of RAM. New 1 GB module set up where is now placed module of 512 MB and put old in empty slot.

  If you need further assistance please write again.

• Upgrades memory for Satellite 1800 412

  HI -.

  I have a 1800-412 Satellite which becomes very slow so I intend to upgrade the memory. I've been hunting around a few different sites to see what I can buy, and there seem to be differing opinions whose memory actually fits my laptop:

  Site Web of Kingston said that I'm going to need their KTT-SO100/256
  .. .but another site suggested the KTT-S0815/256

  Both websites claim that this is the chip that works.

  I have also looked on the Toshiba site and found the part PA3069U - 1 M 25 number is the one I'm looking for, but the chips I found for sale online recommended for my laptop have different numbers for Toshiba...

  Help! I'm confused!
  What exactly should I buy? There are actually several different chips that work or are some of these sites try to sell me a bad?

  Thanks for your help,

  Morag

  Hello

  I found the information that your device can handle with 1 024 MB max memory compatible Module is PC100 256 MB (PA3069U - 1 M 25). This module has been tested and it will be recognized correctly.

  I recommend you to use the right and tested a title less expensive but maybe not tested one.

• Upgrade memory for Satellite A25-S207

  Hi, I want to spend my memory (2x256mb 266 mhz).

  In my view, what is of 266 mhz PC2100. I can't PC2700 (333 mhz) or PC3200 (400 mhz) for my laptop Satellite A25-S207?

  I'll buy one or two probably 1 GB of memory.

  Don't know what them to restrict my upgrade of the laptop.

  Hello

  You can use PC2700 DIMM´s and your machine is expandable up to 1 GB of main memory (2 x 512 MB PC2100/PC2700). So feel free to upgrade.
  I think it would be best to use original toshiba modules because they are known to work perfectly in machines toshiba... ;)

• Is there an installation guide for upgrade memory for Satellite L?

  UK

  Is there an installation guide for memory upgrades?

  Recommend where to get the memory chips Toshiba?

  thanx

  Mike

  Hey Buddy,

  Can you please tell us what Satellite you have exactly?

  I ask this question because I also have laptop Satellite L: Satellite L300. The more manual, you will find information about RAM upgrade and photo live what you have to remove and other important information.
  Check it!

  Theoretically you can buy each manufacturing modules but I recommend high quality of Kingston for example modules. I still only good experience with these modules.

• Upgrade memory for Satellite A10 S811 PSA10E

  I want to upgrade the memory on my old laptop, I found the manual and read a bit into it.
  It apparently uses DDR PC2100 (266 Mhz) features of two memory slots and only allows that up to 512 mb modules.
  Is it possible to use modules bigger or faster.
  I hope that the low speed and size has something to do with the time that it was produced before more large modules have been as prevalent as they are today.
  Also how many pins is there on the modules, I guess that DDR modules for laptops are different from those of desktop computers.

  My laptop:
  Toshiba Satellite A10

  SA10-S811

  Model No.: PSA10E-0ZJ57-DK

  Any help is appreciated.

  Hello!

  Of course, you can use larger modules.
  Chipset supports up to 1 GB of RAM.

  Fastest modules (PC2700 or PC3200) should not be a problem, but I think that they will not work with the speed of the PC2100.
  The part number for 2 x 512 MB RAM is PA3164U - 1 M 51

  Good bye

• Upgrade memory for satellite 2450-401

  Hi guyz,
  I want to upgrade the memory of my satellite 2450-401: as what is written in the manual, it can support a maximum of 1 GB memory (512 MB each slot), but according to www.crucial.com it would accept up to 2 GB (1 GB each slot). Actually notebook chipset (intel 845) can support 2 GB of memory, but I'm a bit confused: is the information declared in the toshiba manual correct? Or can I install 2 GB?
  I thank in advance
  Luca

  Hi Luca

  I have to be honest to you and in this case, I think that the information in the manual of Toshiba I correct. It is possible that this can work, but you must be careful with this. If there is warranty of curcal.com that it will work correctly you can buy it. In the other direction to install just the size given in the manual of Toshiba. It will work correctly because it has already been tested.

  Good bye

• Upgrade memory for Satellite Pro L20

  I use a satellite L20 pro - PSL25E. That this PSL25E means in terms of satellite pro L20 - 102 until xxx. On the support site to keep just the numbers but not this alphanumeric expression. I need this in order to select the upgrade module suitable.
  If this can be answered, could someone tell me which module to upgrade should I choose in addition to the existing 512 MB?
  Thanks in advance

  Klator

  It of nice that you have found the laptop model after your own investigation.
  However, in my opinion the portable Satellite Pro L20 all support the same kind of memory, if it s L20-259 Pro or Pro L20-174

  The units are supported on these modules:
  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
