• 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:

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

• For the Archives: The upgrade of the Satellite L30-134

  I'm one of those old cell phones off a friend who had retired as being obsolete.

  However with a little time and money, it is possible to upgrade to a very usable machine.

  Not a power by any stretch but perfectly adequate for browsing the internet and watching videos (about 720 p watchable) standard definition etc.

  So as the search of these forums for more information for this project, I found a lot of conflicting advice, and some of my questions were not answered at all. I hope by documenting my experiences here I can help someone in the same position in the future.

  * Model *.

  This machine is the Toshiba Satellite L30-134, part number: PSL33E-00E013G3. It's probably very similar, but not necessarily the same as the other models L30. No invert them.

  * Original configuration *.

  Processor - Intel Celeron m 410 (Cache of 1 MB, 1.46 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, Socket M). It is a simple version of the Core Duo (Yonah core) processor core. It shares nothing in common and is not swapable with the previous generation Pentium M or processors Celeron Mr. He is also incompatible with the next generation of Core 2 Duo/Solo and Pentium and Celeron processors derived from these.

  Memory - A single 512MB SODIMM PC2 - 4200 (DDR2-533 MHz). This differs from the previous generation of DDR and the next generation of DDR3. The controller memory only supports single channel mode. There is no loss that the FSB of the processor is not fast enough to take advantage of the dual channel anyway.

  * BIOS *.

  My laptop came with very old version 1.3. Toshiba provides the latest version (3.10) for download. This is reported to be buggy and mess with the profiles of fan so I decided to leave it alone. I can confirm that my updates work without updating the BIOS.

  * Updates *.

  Processor - I swapped the Celeron for a Core Duo T2350 (1.87 GHz). Everything I read that all the Yonah core Core Duo/solo, Pentium and Celeron with a FSB of 533 are compatible. The FSB 667 models are not.

  The Core Duo T2450 at 2 GHz is the highest performing compatible processor but double the price on eBay. I paid just £12 (used) for the T2350 so there is really no reason to go down now, all of these parts are obsolete.

  RAM - there are 2 slots on this machine. Toshiba State a maximum of 2 GB, 1 GB in each slot. Unfortunately, the memory controller is very picky and survey of the weird errors, unless you get just the right ones.

  There is not enough information to understand it so for me it was a process of trial and error. Fortunately, I found an online retailer that guaranteed compatibility in 100% and returned by mail for free.

  The second pair of Poles worked well.

  Thanks for sharing!

• Opportunities to upgrade HDD for Satellite L30-113

  I hope someone can help me on this one. I was wondering what are the possibilities for the upgrade of the disk on a Satellite L30-113. As the largest size of support etc. Or even if it's possible (I don't know much when it comes to upgrading laptops).

  If it is possible to upgrade to a larger size HARD drive what should be and what would be the process to upgrade as well as if there is a limit on the maximum size, etc.?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Each laptop BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and therefore, you can only use a HARD drive formats supported.

  I used the L30 for a long time and to my knowledge, you could use the 40 GB, 60 GB and 80 GB hard drives for sure. Perhaps that the 100 GB HARD drive might work but I m not 100% sure and can not recommend this size of HARD drive.

  However, these hard drives must be compatible:
  Toshiba 40 GB - MK4032GSX
  60 GB - MK6034GSX
  80GB - MK8032GSX

• Question about video memory on Satellite L30-113

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L30-113 and I managed to install a driver (I am learning how to in this forum, thx) for the video card, which allows me to change the size of the memory, what video card can be used. Configure the size of the (UMA) memory of 256 MB (including 128) properties, then in the properties of that memory for the graphics card is display 512?

  My question is that the size 512 memory is real? Video card really use this amount of memory or is unreal? If so is it better to go back to 128 (then in properties is 256), not to waste this memory for nothing.

  I know the les specifications specifications from the manufacturer, said 'max 256 memory hyper', but my question again: why in the properties I have the memory size: 512 MB?

  Thank you in advance, best regards.

  No, 512 MB is not true. The maximum size of video memory is 256 MB, but I do not know why your system shows 512 MB. If you set the video memory up to 256 MB performance will be no higher. Do not waste this memory to change anything back to 128 MB.

• Cannot change the size of the video memory in Satellite L30-113

  I have a Satellite l30-113 which has 1 GB memory and windows Vista.

  The size of memory that has been attributed to the vga is 319 MB.
  How can I decrease the video memory?

  Hello

  do you really mean 319MB? This machine only supports a maximum video memory 256 MB shared memory. So if you might have 32 MB (which is how I imagine rather memory assigned to your VGA) you can increase the video memory of this machine by changing the value of memory assigned in the bios of your machine.

  Do you know how to enter the bios?

  Welcome them

• 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 CPU on Satellite L30-101

  Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101. I upgraded the RAM to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) successfully, but I find it incredibly difficult to get information on the replacement of the processor.

  The laptop has the latest version of the BIOS on it (3.10 - WIN - 02/19/08), but trying to find information on whats inside I'm hitting brick walls. First of all the site > http://www.toshiba-tro.de/biosinfo/< doesn't="" have="" my="" laptop="" on="" it,="">
  Product type: notebook
  Family: Satellite
  Product series: Satellite L series
  Model:? unknown
  Short model No.:? unknown

  I hope I could paste in but with the ATI chipset Intel Duo, I'm sure that it won't work but once again without knowing what in the BIOS, compatible... I got lost. Single processor I can find who can work, same package, FSB, socket is an Intel Core Solo T1350 of processor which begins at 1.86 GHz, not a huge difference, and I don't know that it cannot be the only option of replacement.

  Could someone and please help me to get the hands on info from BIOS and compatible processors for my laptop. The current Intel Celeron M Processor 410 deporting the 1.46 GHz is not good enough for Vista (cert on laptop) and basic multi-task. His way of late too even after a good tune up, ram, HD 7200 rpm upgrade. I need an upgrade of the processor, but as mentioned it is incredibly difficult to get the information which would be compatible.

  Sincerely,

  Gourcuff

  Hello

  In my opinion, your attempt to replace the CPU is false. Why? Satellite L30 is not designed to offer performance and it is designed for everyday use. Best evidence was the price. It wasn't so expensive.

  Can you please tell us why do you have new CPU? Do you use special software?

  Return to the replacement of the CPU. As you probably know laptops have limited upgrade options and it is related to the RAM and disk HARD upgrade. It's definitely not for CPU upgrade and it is not supported. Specific design, especially of the cooling system is designed for certain CPU.
  Because of this, you will not be able to find relevant info on replacement of the CPU.

  Check it please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

• Upgrading memory on Satellite Pro L40 - 15A

  Hello

  I have the Satellite Pro L40 - 15A with 512 MB of memory (Samsung), but I'm not going to 1 GB. I have Kingston ktt667d2 / 1 g I tray to put into the two slots, but nothing works I can't spend on computer.

  But when I change to old laptop is ok. What can I do? Install special program update the BIOS, or maybe the memory stick is broken.

  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

• Upgrading processor on Satellite L30

  Can I replace my Intel celeron with a complete Intel pentium processor for my laptop Satellite L30-105? As it is so slow I got it since February 2007, more than half of my HDD disappeared too?

  You can use CPU Pentium M, the difference between Celeron M and Pentium M is the size of the cache and Celeron M uses SpeedStep technology, but the FSB and the socket are the same.

• 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.

  Is it possible to upgrade memory on my module one_ _For 1024Mo book (something like that - SO - DIMM DDR 1024 Mb PC2100 (266 Mhz) Kingston)?

  Sorry for my English is not my mother tongue :).

  You can upgrade the memory on this laptop to max 1 GB.
  So I think you can use a module 200-Pin, 1 GB PC2100 slot (266 MHz) DDR SODIMM in one.

  Maybe this site might help you a little.

• 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.
