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!

  • Upgrading processor on Satellite L20-181

    Can I insert in my laptop Toshiba Satellite L20-181 (Intel Celeron M 380 processor) Intel Pentium 4 processor 521 (for laptop)?

    Sorry, my English is weak.

    Hello

    No, to my knowledge it of certainly not possible to upgrade the satellite L20 with a processor Intel P4 CPU.
    As far as I know that the motherboard supports a mobile Intel socket 479 and it should be possible to use only the processors Celeron-M as follows:
    Intel Celeron M 350 (1.30 GHz) - 360 (1.40 GHz) - 370 (1.50 GHz) - 380 (1.60 GHz) with 400 Mhz FSB

    In my opinion the stronger processors will cause overheating.

  • Extend the RAM of my Satellite L20-181

    Hello world!

    I have a problem and hope to resolve it here, with your help... so:

    I have a toshiba satellite L20-181, model PSL2XE... and I want to add more RAM.
    The guide says that only the PC2700 and PC2100 are compatible; but surprise... I installed a memory module on the system (from the factory) with the following tag: 256 MB PC2 - 4200 s-444-12-C3... so a PC2-4200. Now I am confused... what type of memory should I use?
    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    You must use the modules DDR2 with minimum of 533 Mhz. I googled for your type and the chipset is an ATI chipset in need of DDR2 RAM.

    And the concern of Don t for the timings, it should be OK despite all the modules you use, because almost all of the modules available to consumers have ALMOST the same timings...

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L20-181 and I bought an Intel Mini PCI Wifi Pro/Wireless 2200BG so that I place it in the empty Mini PCI connector it has in order to have the wireless.

    While I placed it on a regular basis also antennas etc the Intel utility sends me a message that the network connection is disabled and that I should use the switch on the front panel of the laptop to turn it on.

    This switch located in the laptop from the front is a button that is not reinforced.

    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)

    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

    Unfortunately, I can't confirm the SSD compatibility but if this old Satellite phone has HDD with IDE interface I sure you can use this SSD for upgrade of m.

  • Upgrading RAM on satellite L20-217

    Hi guys,.

    I have a satellite L20-217 and I'm looking to upgrade my ram 256 to 2 GB (or at least 1 GB). I did some research but I am still confused about this module (s) to buy and how to install it. I'm new on this and I will be very grateful if anyone can advise me on what to do, thank you.

    PS: Is it possible to switch from a celeron M to a dual core processor?

    Hello

    Man of good news:

    The L20 can be upgraded up to 2 GB!
    Please visit this page;

    You simply DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM bars!

    Module slots are placed at the bottom of the unit.
    There must be only one screw removed and you will see two slots!

    The replacement is not very delicate and must be described in the manual very well!

    With regard to the replacement of the CPU:

    The replacement of the CPU is very delicate and particularly is not possible for different reasons!

    As much as I know it is not possible and, in my view, it is completely without sin. The upgrade will probably cost half of your laptop. I also think that L20 not worth of it.

  • 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:

  • Upgrade memory for Satellite 2800 400

    I am trying to upgrade my ram to 128 on the laptop. After following the instructions for the instillation, that I turned the laptop on to find that it was slower than before and that the new ram had not registered as 128, and always thought it was 64 in someone can help me solve this ir is there anything I can do?

    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

  • Upgrades memory battery/Equium L20-264

    Hello

    I want to improve memory my equium l20-264 to the maximum which is about 2G I think and I was wondering what parts of memory I need to do this? He currently heads the 256 MB standard, but I'm not sure if I need to replace that with a higher memory 256 AND get a new one to compensate for the amount or if I can buy a souvenir that will do the job. Is also editing them something that I can do myself or should I consider somewhere for them to do?

    The other thing is the battery life is only 1.5hours and hoped to obtain a superior capacity for her battery? Anyone know if I can do it and so what battery need and how long it lasts?

    Thanks in advance

    GATS

    Hi the GATS.

    Your laptop has two banks of memory (usually accessible by a small flap on the bottom of the unit). He must have a slot in use at present with a 256 MB card installed. New RAM modules are available in sizes of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB so to get all of the 2 GB, you will need to replace the 256 MB card existing with 2 X 1 GB modules.

    The site of Toshiba UK lists all the options that are available for your model (!), but I found the options available on the following web - site: -.

    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=20877&ft=m&St=3

    I don't think it will be possible to install an additional capacity for your laptop battery and 1.5 hours you CITIES seem just to me for this model.

    Kind regards
