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.

  • Upgrade of RAM on my Satellite 1900-803

    My S1900-803 has 256 MB and 128 MB present. The manual says I can add 512 MB in the remaining slot. It specifies SODIMM 144 pin PC-133 3.3V, however I've analyzed the laptop using the CRUCIAL web site and this indicates that this memory is DDR and no SODIMM etc (results below): so who should I believe? and what type of memory should I buy

  • Satellite 1900-803: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 card does not work

    I have a portable satellite 1900-803. I recently bought and installed a Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Notebook Card, but it does not work. Manual of the card says that after the successful installation, I'd see a second 'USB bus controllers' heading which I did not. I even it was replaced by another one thinking that there could be some problems with the drivers, but it still does not work. whenever I plug in a device such as an mp3 player, a digital camera or a usb storage device, windows locks all of a sudden upward, won't move the cursor, the function ctrl-alt-del does not work and the worst of it, I can't turn off the machine!

    the map shows that it runs on any 32-bit location.

    I have the manual and the Device Manager to see if mine is a 32-bit, but I don't really know. This is probably the reason why it doesn't work? or is there another reason to make it work not? If this is the reason why, is there a way where I can upgrade my laptop's pc card slot to make it work?

    Help, please.

    I posted this question yesterday morning and did not get a single response. is it because it has to do with an older laptop? Please, someone, help...

    Hello

    Have you checked the Bios? I guess that the Bios Toshiba was preinstalled on your laptop. Am I wrong? There should be an option to change the PC Card controller mode.

    Here, you can change the mode of the automatic selection, CCIP compatible controller or card bus/16-bit.
    If the card supports 32-bit so you should use the 16-bit option.

    I think you should play a little with this option and possibly that the card will work.

  • Cannot find the BIOS for Satellite 1900-803

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba satalite s1900-303 (model number-ps192e-00g1n-en) and I'm not.
    I have somehow locked myself out of the laptop. I used to haver a password to use the laptop. This password is not only for the bios, it is also necessary for the operation of the laptop.

    Somehow the password has changed and that's why I can't use the laptop at all. I contacted toshiba store and theyu said to use a loopback serial cable to fix it somehow and he also mentioned in an attempt to crush the bios with a new.

    I would like to try this, but I can't find the Bios or drivers. I was wondering if someone can help me solve this problem please.

    PS: When regestering on the toshiba site I had to enter the serial number for the laptop.
    The model under my name says 1900-803 when the sticker on the laptop clearly said 1900-803

    Hello

    > I have somehow locked myself on the laptop. I put a password for the laptop. This password is not only for the bios, it is also necessary for the operation of the laptop.

    I think that you have set the BIOS password.
    Unfortunately, the BIOS password can be removed from the laptop if you n t know the old password.
    You can not remove also the BOS password by updating the BIOS. If you would try to update the BIOS while the password is set then the ROM module flashes not properly and you laptop will not boot! It s dangerous!

    Only Toshiba authorised service provider can remove the BIOS password. Ask the technicians!

    PS: You book is a model of Satellite 1900-803 and BIOS, drivers, tools, etc. can be found on the European driver Toshiba page in * file Archive!

  • Satellite 1900-803: how to install a USB 2.0 port?

    How to install a USB Port of 2.00
    Where can I get a?
    Need for the new Ipod
    Anyone out there it does or can help please?

    Hello

    As far as I know Satellite 1900-803 supports Cardbus 32-bit/PC-Card 16 - Bit interface and you can use cards PCMCIA Type II (x 2) or Type III (1 x)
    Before you buy the PCMCIA card to USB you should check if it's compatible with your laptop.
    But I agree with Quad. The PCMCIA card is a good solution to use USB 2.0

  • Can external CD-ROM, I use it to restart my PC (Satellite 1900 803)

    I have a Satellite 1900 803, my CD internal Rom cannot read the recovery disk, I think I have an external CD-ROM to use it for my recovery disk. Has anyone tried this before and I have to install a driver. My laptop has a USB port. Appreciate the advice and comments. Thank you

    Hi André,.

    You will find that you will be unable to boot your laptop using a USB attached CD. I have yet to find a usb device which will start successfully.

    I suggest you to check the recovery disc in another computer first to check if the problem is with the CD itself or your existing internal CD.

    Good luck

  • Upgrade hard drive satellite 1900 102

    I want to upgrade to the HD of my Satellite 1900 102 because of the original HD 20 GB is small.
    Can what type of HD Toshiba I use? 2.5 "or 1.8" too?
    Toshiba MK1234GAX 2.5 "120GB HD is compatible with my laptop?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Two years ago I had Satellite 1900-703. Beautiful peace of hardware isn t it? On this laptop, you can use HDD 2.5 only. 1.8 HARD disk is used by ultra-thin laptops as some models of the Portege.

    To be honest 120 GB is a little too much for this good old classic and I'm sure that it won't wok. If I'm that much memory my Satellite was delivered with 40 GB. Maybe 60 or even 80 GB HDD can work with this laptop but 120 GB. I'm quite skeptical that it will work.

  • 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!

  • Satellite 1900-803 runs on battery only

    My 1900-803 satellite only works on battery PWR. When AC pwr device connected, correct lights and AC power icon appears in the systray. But system turns off automatically when the battery goes down. Air conditioning unit seems to be ok and charge the battery as well as to show good indicators when connected to the led system.

    The good people of suggestions? :)

    see you soon
    Ally

    Hello Ally

    In my opinion there must be some problem with electronic power which controls the supply. The strange thing is that the battery can discharge while the unit is connected to the power running.

    In my opinion, you should also check power management settings. Is it possible that disable HDD is set to low balance time?

  • Satellite 1900-803: what are the specs of the PC card slot?

    I have a 1900-803 satellite. can someone tell me where to look whether its pc card slot is a 32-bit or otherwise?

    Hello

    I think that information that you might find in the manual of Toshiba which must be preinstalled on the laptop.
    On my laptop, I found manual and there is lots of useful information about my unit.
    But as far as I know this laptop supports 32-bit/PC-Card 16-Bit interface Cardbus and PCMCIA Type II (x 2) or Type III (1 x)

    Additional information:
    In the BIOS, it should be possible to change the settings of PC card.

  • Advice on which new battery for Satellite 1900-803

    Hi all

    I am looking for a spare battery for my 1900-803 Satellite. The battery is PA3166U-1BRS, and when I get on a popular auction site I get a number of different opt, Li - ion:

    1:14, 8V
    Capacity: 6600mAh
    2: 14.80V
    Capacity: 6000mAh
    3: 14.80V
    Capacity: 5850mAh
    4:14, 8V
    Capacity: 4300mAh

    So who is the most appropriate? As I understand it, they are all compatible. I suppose that more 'mAh' best, is that correct? Price is not a problem, just performance!

    Thank you all very much!

    Pablo

    JohnnyS if you're out there you could make it three out of three for me!

    The battery that provides a higher mAh value is much better, because the performance is stronger and you can run much longer Notepad using these batteries.

    This is why I advise you to buy a battery that supports a capacity 6600mAh

  • 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:

    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
