Upgrade memory M50 satellite problems

Hello

I just tried to add 516 MB in my expansion memory slot, but the extra memory has not been recognized. Notepad starts fine, but only shows 465 MB of available space.

I tried to change the original and new memory cards, and either card in a slot (0 or 1) on their own works as a 516 (which turned the cards and the two slots are working), but together they always show as only in use.

Someone at - it ideas on what could be the problem and how to make so that he can use them together?
Thank you

The 465 MB is normal, because of the shared video memory. If I understand you correctly, the two connected modules, show only 512 MB?
Perhaps you need to perform a BIOS update. Could help. You can find an update to the emea support & download page.

The two modules comply with the necessary specifications? They should be PC2700 DDR - RAM.

  • Upgrade memory of satellite L20-181

    Hey all

    I want to upgrade memory on my Toshiba Satellite L20-181.
    Now I have 256 MB and I want to add another stick of memory to 256 MB.
    Could you please inform me about the type of memory has this laptop?
    On the site it is said:
    Standard system memory: 256 MB
    maximum scalability: 2 048 MB
    technology: DDR2 RAM

    DDR2?
    A link with such a memory would be very useful.
    Also, anyway to buy memory online?

    Best regards

    Hello

    The news that you are quite right. Toshiba has tested this laptop with the memory modules to follow:
    DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)

    As you can see it's memory module DDR2 and if you use the part (PA.) to the Google number, you will find many online offereor where you can order this tested memory. I recommend buying the original or perhaps module of Kingston. On this way, you will be sure that the new module will be recognized correctly.

    Good luck!

  • Upgrade memory for Satellite L30-134

    I have a Satellite L30-134, which seems to work pretty slowly - I think that due to the large amount of photos and music from itunes.

    I wonder which is the best way to solve - buy a memory upgrade (no idea how to change memory well) or get an external hard drive?
    And if I change the memory I'll lose what is already saved on the laptop?

    I agree with Ganz most HARD drive will not improve performance but increase the disk space available HARD, it would be you can store more music and picture on HARD drive ;) files

    Upgrade memory also would not provide a performance gain of course performance could be a little better because most of the things would be handled directly in memory and not in time on the HARD drive, but generally it s not really noticeable.

    In any case if you want to improve memory, check this:

    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=25737&ft=m&St=3

    You must use DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM

    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

  • Upgrade memory on Satellite Pro A60

    I upgraded a Pro A60 with a memory of 1 GB upwards but the general tab panel /System/ watch still have 192 MB of RAM. This limits me downloading some software of safety of BT Yahoo.

    Someone can advise on how I can make the machine to recognize the new RAM or is the 192 MB RAM memory different the new upgrade memory note?

    If you use the incompatible RAM module, it is logical that system cannot recognize it properly. I don't know who is the manufacturer of this RAM 1 GB module, but if you want to use a consistent pick up some info on 1024Mo PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G) or check web page of Kingston.

    You can upgrade the memory on this laptop to max 1 GB.

  • Upgrade memory on Satellite 1900-803

    How do you get the keyboard on this model to upgrade memory?

    Why keyboard remove?
    To my knowledge, memory expansion module housing is placed at the bottom of the unit near the fan.
    The cover must be secured with a screw. Simply remove the screws and the cover and you will be able to improve memory.

  • Problem upgrade memory on Satellite M40-142

    Hi all

    I am trying to upgrade my M40 - 142 (win XP) with 2x1GB memory modules. the initial memory is a single unit of 512 MB. When I remove and replace with 2 new modules of the system starts.
    If I leave the original memory in the slot and add only a single module 1 GB system startup and total ram 1.5 GB.
    If I use a single module of the new memories, the system is not to start again.

    I tried to update the bios to the latest version but when I run the .exe is an error and I am not able to run it.

    looking at the specifications of the motherboard should support the upgrade of memory 2x1GB.

    Thanks for your help

    Marco

    I guess you used the memory modules live all simply not compatible.

    The laptop s RAM can be certainly upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB), but you must use simply compatible and God quality modules.

    Cheap may be not compatible or defective.

  • Upgrade memory for Satellite Pro L20 problem

    I buy a 1 GB, 200-pin SODIMM crucial (marked on the module as 1 GB 2Rx16 PC2-4200 s-444-12-A0) and added to the existing module 256 MB (marked as 1Rx16 256 MB PC2 4200 s-444-12-C3)

    I can't get the 1 GB module memory I bought the work with the existing 256 MB module. The PC will recognize the 256 MB module in each slot and it will also recognize 1 GB memory module in the other location. However, when both modules are installed the PC doesn't recognize any order they are installed in the module 1 GB. The essential tool memory online seems to think that a slot is empty when it scans the laptop, even if both slots are filled. The BIOS also reports that only 1 GB is present when both modules are mounted.

    No idea how I can get the two recognized modules?

    John

    Hello John

    I assume that there is a compatibility issue. If possible, try to get the 1 GB of Kingston RAM module or module recommended by Toshiba.

    If you have time take a look here

    By the way: 1 GB of RAM is sufficient for your laptop L20. In my opinion with 1 GB of RAM, you can work on this model of laptop.

  • Upgrade memory on Satellite M60

    Hello
    I recently installed Vista Ultimate on my computer Satellite M60 laptop, it is activated and updated, but I think it is out of memory. I have two 512 memory banks and bought two chips of memory of 1 GB crucial to install instead of 512 banks.
    It is, I can find a bank under a cover on the bottom of the laptop, but no others, abouts where is it not located and how do I enter?
    I did a similar upgrade on an older model and have no problem with the work on the machine, but in this case they were both below and easily accessible.

    Hope you can help.

    Russell.

    Hi Russell

    If the two slots of memory are not placed under the memory cover (lower side), one of them is usually placed under the keyboard. To access it, you must remove the plastic placed on the keyboard, and after that the keyboard itself.

  • Re: upgrade memory for Satellite 2450-101

    I would upgrade ram memory up to the maximum limit of 1 GB.
    I found these memory, Kingston:

    KTT3311/512 512 MB DDR SODIMM

    KTT3614/512 512 MB DDR SODIMM

    Could someone tell me these memory well works with Satellite 2450-101?

    Thank you

    Yes, the Satellite S2450 supports max 1 GB.

    The laptop needs RAM PC2100, but you can also buy PC2700 or PC3200. It's down in a compatible way.
    So I think you could buy Kingston RAM. I've had RAM Kingston too and never had any problems with it.

  • 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
