Upgrade memory on Equium L20

I received an Equium L20 as a gift last year. About a month after getting it going, it was very, very slow. It turns out it was sold to me with only 256Meg RAM - not even enough for XP run!

I am based in the States now and sent THREE different updates by a 'good reputation on the line memorystore"which none have set up properly...

L20 forum claims that I need:

PC-4200 DDR2 - 533 SO DIMM

Is this correct? I'm sure that the existing memory reads PC2700...

The problem seems to be that although the memory card aligns OK, the side grooves on each side that hold in place do not line up with the arm in the memory slot.

Can anyone help? Please, I beg you!

Thank you

Dave

Hello

According to the specification you can upgrade with 2 GB RAM max. A slot is empty and then you can put the extra RAM module. Maybe the best solution is to put module with more capacity in the slot A and 256 MB of RAM in slot B. Compatible modules are:
DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)

Good bye

  • 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

    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

    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

  • 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 laptop Equium A200-15i

  • Equium L20 - memory does not display correctly?

    Hi I just bought an Equium L20. First time I had a Laptop.In the card it says 256 MB memory. But when I checked the system it says I have 192 MB. Where's the other the 64 MB? Or am I just drive I thought.

    [Edited by: admin November 13 05 13:03]

    Hello

    you really have to 256 MB of memory. But for the moment, your laptop uses only 192 MB, because the other 64 MB are used as additional video memory to the graphics card.

    By the way, you should be thinking of an upgrade of memory, 256MB is not so.

    Good bye

  • Upgrade Equium L20-198

    Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and I have a question please.

    I have a laptop Equium L20 - 198 people aged but very useful, which becomes very, very slow. I think to double the RAM to 512 MB and installation of a drive Flash (SSD). Did anyone done this before? No idea if there is a compatible SSD available and where I could buy one?

    Thanks in advance.

    I don't have this model of laptop old but RAM upgrade is not a big deal. You can put an another 512 MB of RAM. Compatible RAM has PA3412U - 1 M 51 part number.

    In General, you can put 1 GB of RAM, because you can improve up to 2 GB of RAM. Unfortunately I do not know which RAM is compatible. It must be DDR2 400/533 MHz RAM.

    I have found no info on HARD drive upgrade. Is original HDD SATA or IDE?

  • Equium L20-264 - CPU upgrade

    Hello world

    I have Toshiba Equium L20-264 and I want to move into gear
    Can someone help me please?

    I had already upgraded to 2 GB of Ram, but my CPU is still 1.4 GHz.

    Please guide me what to do and if it supports several Ghz processor, which will be the best place to buy.

    Thank you.

    I assume that you have not read all the posts here in the forum about upgrading the CPU s for laptop?
    Did you?

    Some facts first:
    Update CPU is very delicate and depends on the chipset and BIOS support.
    In case one of the parties (chipset or bios) would not support new CPU, the will to power laptop on.

    Second: the laptop seems to be equipped with an Intel Celeron - M CPU, and I suppose the other Intel Celeron-M CPU be compatible:
    Intel Celeron M 370 (1.5 Ghz)
    Intel Celeron M 380 (1.6 Ghz)

    Everything supports the FSB 400 Mhz

    But guess what? Even if you add the new processor at 1.6 Ghz, the performance gain will be not noticeable. So in my eyes, CPU upgrade for this old book is useless. It won't add any performance benefits.
