Upgrade memory from 2 GB to 4 GB on Satellite U300-153

Satellite U300-153 (PSU30E - 09901CG 3) has maximum of expansion RAM 2 GB only.
This model has 2 slots for memory and each unit of memory 2 GB of suppor slot.
If I install a 2 GB unit in a slot - everything is OK.
2 Gb + 1 Gb or 2 Gb + 2 Gb: BIOS detect memory correctly but the crash of Windows Vista for
blue screen after 2-3 seconds after loading.

I know about 2 GB limit but can I change something (BIOS upgrade or LIKED) to change this limit?

Why BIOS can detect 4 GB but charge Vista RCA with it? Deadline is - what chipset?

Can I fix it and what I should do?

Hello

As you say the laptop U300-153 can scale up to 2 GB max.
I really surprised that the BIOS has detected that more than 2 GB and that the laptop was able to boot in windows. Usually the laptop should not start and begin with more than 2 GB of memory

> Why BIOS can detect 4 GB but load Vista RCA with it? Deadline is - what chipset?
> Can I fix it and what I should do?

Usually it s a physical limitation (motherboard). and you will not be able to upgrade the memory to a higher value is not possible!

Welcome them

  • HP g72 i3 m350: upgrade memory from 4 GB to 8 GB

    I received two chips memoy 4 GB and they would not work.  Verifed that they were seen by the system, but the system would not start.   Removed and tried a single, same problem.  Replace both 2 gb and it worked.   It seems unlikely that both are bad.

    This device should recognize and work with 8 GB or 4 gb chip, as it of a 64-bit using intel i3 and works win10 and do quite well with 4 GB but took the opportunity to upgrade and did not expect this problem.     Replacement chips come from a list, including the
    G72 and ar 4 GB ddr3 pc3-10600 sodimm / 1333 mhz which corresponds to the use of 2 GB.

    The point on this issue.   It is not resolved, but I decided to try the memory in another HP using an AMD processor that was older and a bit slower but it agreed to the memory and is very good in this unit of work.   It is interesting that the unit is NOT listed as being able to accept additional memory.

    The issue is clearly with this single unit, and it seems others have had a similar event.   While it is apparently isolated to this version of the G72.

  • Upgrade memory from 256 to 512 MB on Satellite Pro A60

    Just want to confirm really what I got caught once before buying the bad memory. I read another thread, so am sure I'm ok with that.

    OK, the RAM, I need for the upgrade of the Satellite A60 Pro is:
    200-pin SODIMM, DDR PC2700 Unbuffered CL2.5 (Non - ECC)

    Maplin:
    http://www.Maplin.co.UK/search.aspx?criteria=A31CG&doy=24m12
    A31CG DDR 2700 512M SODIMM

    512MB 200-pin SODIMM, DDR PC2700 upgrade for the Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 Series notebook

    I don't think that 1GIG RAM is needed for my daughter :-)

    Note: On my main PC, I got defective Crutial Ballistix memory, but Crutial were very good replacing it for free.

    Thank you and a Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of you on this forum.

    Ah, just another thing I'm not clear on.

    The NEW RAM replaces the existing, in other words I have remove the 256 and replace it with the 512? Reading the user manual, it is not clear and talks about expansion module. Probably, it would be obvious if I opened it to the top, but I'd rather not at this stage.

    Thank you

  • EliteBook 8540p: upgrade memory from 4 GB to 8 GB

    Hello.

    For the moment, I use memory 2 x 2 GB strips with my elite book but want to switch to 2 x 4 GB.

    I know that my laptop is supported (only) PC3-10600 / memory at 1333 MHz, but I wonder if I still can't use more quick PC3-12800 / 1600 modules MHz but only gain rate supported, or is it takes exactly PC3-10600 / 1333 MHz modules?

    I can change some values in the BIOS if it recognizes the fastest memory modules but works at the speed of support or should I rather get the 'right' modules and forget them faster?

    I would get a few modules of 1333 MHz (recommend Corsair). We cannot change everything related to memory in the BIOS.

  • Satellite U300 falls down and cannot wake up from sleep mode

    Hello

    I got a Satellite U300 a few days and I get in trouble, when the laptop goes into sleep mode.
    The thing is that when he goes to sleep, the screen turns off but the light stays on (blue), instead of flashing with an orange color.

    It is not possible to wake the portable computer, and the only solution is to restart the computer.

    I tried the different possibilities to enter sleep mode, and I get the problem mainly when the computer is in high-performance Vista and when you press the stop button in the quick menu.

    I know Vista gives a certain a lot of problems, but I didn't know anyone here who face the same problem.
    Should I send the laptop back to technical support?

    Thanks in advance,

    I had the opportunity to work a little with several laptops from Toshiba, and one of them was Satellite U300. After a brief check of the basic functions for laptop I can say with certainty that switch between mode and standby/hibernation mode work well and I didn't notice any problems.

    I really don't understand what is wrong with that, but please do:
    -If you want to switch to standby mode, choose option using the button START.
    -Wait a bit and I hope after a few seconds, the laptop will change automatically in standby mode (blinking amber LED)
    -Close the cover
    -Wait a moment opened the lid and press the power button
    I really hope that your laptop will start correctly and you will be able to use the OS again.

    Good bye

  • Upgrade memory on NB300-108

    Looking to upgrade the RAM to 2 GB on my NB300-108

    Have you looked at the website of Toshiba and the cost, but there seems to be a plethora of alternative sites with upgrades memory compatible when I put in the part number.

    Would like to receive experiences in the forum about alternatives etc.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The laptop supports DDR2 800 MHz SO-DIMM or PC2-5300 (DDR2 667 Mhz) modules.
    These modules are provided by different companies.
    There are good quality modules and less quality modules

    Of course, you can choose and buy the cheapest, but in this case, you use the risk of compatibility problems.

    I made good experiences with RAM from Kingston. These are of good quality and not too expensive modules

  • Upgrading memory on the NB550D - 11 d - 4 GB of RAM are possible

    To anyone who thinks of a memory upgrade on the NB550D:

    The NB550D supports up to 4 GB of memory, not only 2 GB as mentioned by Toshiba in their specifications.
    Upgrade memory to 2 GB is _only limited_ by the pre installed Windows 7 Starter OS, and not by the netbook itself.

    I use Linux Mint 11 Katya, 64-bit and my system works perfectly well with a 4 GB ram module. If you want to use the full support for 4 GB ram, get rid of the Win 7 Starter operating system.

    Specifications for more memory ram volume are DDR3 1333 MHz PC3-10600 SO-Dimm. I chose a 4 GB of Corsair module, because of the guarantee of 30 years of offers from Corsair.

    It took me a while to find this out hope, that this will be a help to all those who are just as secure as I was how to upgrade memory NB550D. Good luck. (o).

    Thanks for the comments

    Also it of important to mention than the 32-bit systems (not serious if its Linux or Windows) would recognize only 3.2 GB since it is a limitation of 32-bit
    So to use all of the 4 GB RAM 64-bit system is required.

    Hi mate.

    As far as I know your laptop supports two memory locations.
    They must be placed at the bottom of the unit.
    If you n t know how to change this then I recommend consulted the user manual!
    The manual can be downloaded from the Toshiba European page.
    I think that the laptop can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. So, you can use 1 GB of RAM in one slot.

    PS: you must use the RAM DDR2 PC2-4200 memory - 200pin modules

  • Portege 3500 - upgrade memory

    Necessary upgrade memory for a p3500. 'Expert' advised two sticks of 512 MB PC133, but on opening the rear of the location that a laptop computer and on the insertion of the new RAM it gives an error code beep. Is there than a single slot? and if so what maximum capacity and what type of RAM will it take?

    Hi Jeffrey,.

    As far as I know the 3500 Series provided with a removable module of RAM of 128 MB, 256 MB or 512 MB depending on what model and specifications you purchased. There is one other remaining slot for expansion purposes.

    The total support for the 3500 Series RAM is 2 GB and the type of RAM should be SODIMM PC133 144 pins.

    It is important that you match the RAM modules that your RAM module existing (one removable) is of the same type you new RAM module. Of course, you can always delete the original from the RAM and insert two new modules of RAM instead.

    Please check the following URL for more information on the available RAM module type.

  • Satellite P300-1AE - card upgrade memory

    Hai,

    I own a number of satellite P300-1AE PSPCCE-00K003BT.
    The specifications of the product on the memory of this laptop are:
    Standard: 4 096 (2 048 + 2 048) MB
    Max at: 8 192 MB
    Technology: DDR2 RAM (800 MHz)

    I had the following problem:
    I'm not able to find the specifications to improve my memory from 4 GB to 8 GB.
    I have download some programs of + capital + for example, they said the follow-up:
    My max memory is 4 GB
    Installed current 4 GB
    Places available: N.A.
    DDR PC2-6400
    ("our system scanner could not make a complete match")

    On every single site, I'm going to purchase memory upgrade like kingston or crucial... I can't find my P300 laptop-1AE between the other toshiba, I can't also chose a more general option for the P300.

    Also on the toshiba site I found after a long search: 4 GB memory PC2 DDR2 (800 MHz), but then again... The P300 or more specific to my 1AE P300 is not in the list compatible models.

    If at this point I got very confused which memory I need to buy to upgrade for a total of 8 GB of RAM... I don't want to waste money to buy the bad...
    I even started to think that I could have more than 2 Bank for memory slots in my laptop? I started my BIOS and all he said was "total memory: 4 096 MB", so this has not helped me be...

    If concrete...
    Should I replace the cards of 2 x 2 GB (installed) 2 x 4 GB cards? or do I have to buy 2 x another 2 GB and put in 2 other still empty slots? Or do I only 2 slots?

    If I solved this problem... those who do I need to install? What are the specs?

    I hope that my question is not too complicated, I really hope someone can help out me!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    According to specification for laptop, your laptop can be upgraded up to 8 GB. Toshiba recommends the use of the 4 GB Ram module compatible with PA3670U-1M4G part number.

    My advice to you is: buy high quality RAM and you will have no problem as a lot of other people who want to save money and report subsequent here on compatibility issues. You can check this thread and you will find that most of them have problems with the essential modules.

    Buy RAM from Kingston of high quality and you will have no problems.

  • Re: upgrade memory Satellite M70-159

    I have the Satellite m70-159 with 512 RAM and you want to upgrade memory.
    Is ddr2 sdram so-dimm PC5300, 667 Mhz kingston 1 G memory compatible with my laptop?
    I know that this memory will run as PC4200, but I don't know where to buy PC4200.
    Thank you.

    The Satellite M70 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM.

    The Kingston RAM must be compatible with your laptop because Kingston's high-quality RAM and many users here upgraded with modules from Kingston.
    And as you say that the RAM will work as long as PC4200, it is not a problem.
