Upgrade memory to Portege S100

Please, I need someone to tell me how I can get to the location of memory under the keyboard. I need to switch to 2 GB. I have access to its housing under the flap in less insert 1 GB but I don't know how to get to the slot under the keyboard to replace the 512 MB with another 1 GB. Help!

Hello

You are right. At the bottom of the unit, you will find only one memory slot!
This slot is user scalable because it is very easy to remove the cover, securing the memory bank.

The other location should be placed under the keyboard and to my knowledge it s not user scalable because the removal of the keyboard is a bit tricky.

That is why it s advisable to contact the technician authorized for these updates. Last but not least, you will lose the warranty if you open the Notepad or remove covers.

You do not want to lose the warranty? I don t think so ;)

  • Upgrade memory on Portege 4010

    I want to upgrade my memory Portege 4010 and I know that I need 144 pins/PC133 SO - DIMM SD - RAM. Unfortunately I couldn't understand (in the same after talking to the Toshiba Austria), if I have to buy memory may be high or low density.

    Most of the memory at low prices on eBay is high density and I'm afraid to buy an incompatible.

    I hope that someone already has experience with it. It seems to be my last chance to get some relevant information.

    Thank you.

    As I remember for Portege 4010 maximum memory is 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) and no matter if you choose the version high or low density.
    If you need 100% guarantee you choose the version of low density.

  • How to upgrade memory on Portege M400?

    My new M400 came with 512 MB of RAM. According to kingston.com, it can be expanded to 2 GB. I can see how to replace the HARD drive, but not the memory.

  • Upgrade memory Portege S100

    Hello

    On the product page of toshiba for Toshiba Portege S100, it says that the maximum capacity of the laptop RAM is 2 GB. So I bought 2 GB of RAM for installation. However, there is only one slot available to increase the RAM (I think).

    The RAM that I got is a 256 MB module, and since my laptop has 512 MB of RAM, there must be another crack also. (After installing one of the 1 GB modules, I now 1.25 GB of RAM)

    How to install a 1 GB of RAM?
    Thank you

    Hello

    usually, if a machine has 2 expansion slots, then the other must be under the keyboard. So, if you want to install the other, try to look under the keyboard.
    But be careful: If you are not familiar with the disassembly of machines and if you have still warranty on machine to you, it would be better to give your machine a technician for the exchange of memory.

    If you can't risk a voiding your warranty if you still have it and you won´t run the risk of damaging your portege.

  • Portege S100 - upgrade after cloning BSOD & HARD disk

    Hi all

    I wonder if anyone can help me please. I have a laptop Portege S100 with a standard 80 GB drive. I want to upgrade to a 200 GB drive.
    Here's what I did.

    I ran Acronis to save an image of the 80 GB HARD drive. All backed by an external USB disk and checked. I inverted the readers and restored the image on the 200 GB drive. All restored and verified.

    I restart the PC with the new hard drive in place. "Windows XP" logo comes up, then aarrgh blue screen. Stop x7B.
    Swapped the old disk, system boots fine.
    Check in the BIOS, with the old hard drive in place that the RAID configuration is enabled by default

    New swap disk, JBOD configuration is enabled in the BIOS. Could this be why it is not booting? If I want to activate the RAID configuration, it is ok, but I'm told that it will wipe the hard drive!

    I have no qualms about wiping the new hard drive, but it will work? If I change the RAID configuration, then restore the image? The only reason why I have not done it so far is because it took some time to create the image, and then writing it back on the new disk and at that time there the owner of the laptop is needed it back. !

    Help appreciated!
    Thank you very much
    Alex

    Hello!

    Can you post the BSOD detailed please?

    I'm a little confused on RAID m parameters are you wrote. As I know the Portege S100 can handle only a single HARD disk.
    In addition, you must use the same settings as with the old HDD RAID.

    Maybe the SATA controller has a limitation of LBA 28 bit and can't handle a 200 GB HARD drive. In this case, the larger HARD drive should have 120 GB. Here you can learn more about the limitation:
    http://www.48bitlba.com

    Last but not least, you can see the new HARD drive for errors. Maybe it s faulty. For this, you can use the Drive Fitness Test:

    Sorry, but for the moment I put t have more ideas.

  • Extension of memory in a Portege S100

    I recently bought a Portege S100, which came with 512 MB of RAM. Information on this model, says it can be increased up to 2048 MB using 2 slots of memory. Initially, I assumed 1024Mo in each. I looked at the electronic user guide, and it gives the impression that the original memory slot (512 MB) is non-removable, while under the "memory module cover" is an another single memory slot available for the purpose of expansion. This is the case, or if the existing memory of 512 MB can be located (everywhere where it is, it is not visible when memory cover removed) and be replaced by [saying] 1024 MB?

    Hello

    Your device has no internal memory. There are two slots. According to the specs of the device comes with 512 MB of RAM, and you can extend it to 2 GB maximum. If you want to use 1 GB of RAM module compatible part except the number PA3411U-1M1G (DDR2 400/533 1 GB).

    In the lower (in the middle) you can find the cover of the memory expansion. Remove it and swap the module.
    Good luck!

  • Portege 3500 - upgrade memory

    Necessary upgrade memory for a p3500. 'Expert' advised two sticks of 512 MB PC133, but on opening the rear of the location that a laptop computer and on the insertion of the new RAM it gives an error code beep. Is there than a single slot? and if so what maximum capacity and what type of RAM will it take?

    Hi Jeffrey,.

    As far as I know the 3500 Series provided with a removable module of RAM of 128 MB, 256 MB or 512 MB depending on what model and specifications you purchased. There is one other remaining slot for expansion purposes.

    The total support for the 3500 Series RAM is 2 GB and the type of RAM should be SODIMM PC133 144 pins.

    It is important that you match the RAM modules that your RAM module existing (one removable) is of the same type you new RAM module. Of course, you can always delete the original from the RAM and insert two new modules of RAM instead.

    Please check the following URL for more information on the available RAM module type.

  • upgrade memory in a Portege 3410ct

    I tried installing memory of 128 MB PA3034u 3410ct, but on commissioning a message comes up saying that the ACPI BIOS is not fully compliant with the ACPI specification.
    I downloaded the latest BIOS setings but makes no difference. Will not start just yet. Clues as to correct the problem, other that not upgrading memory.

    Hello!

    This problem may occur if you add the memory (RAM) to the computer when it is in hibernation.

    When the computer comes out of hibernation mode and load the file Hiberfil.sys, Microsoft Windows detects the change in the State of the memory, and then you receive the error message.

    To resolve this issue, restart your computer.

    If the problem persists, start the computer by using an emergency boot disk, and then delete the Hiberfil.sys file.

    Unfortunately, no one here can help you with this. BIOS password is very important security feature, and it cannot be resolved in some public forums.
    This can be solved with only authorized service.

    Response code can be given only by Toshiba and they don't give it to anyone. Authorized service provider can only get it after checking if the laptop has not been stolen.

  • Portege S100 - 7B code downtime when installing XP

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Portege S100, I'm doing a fresh install of XP on it.

    Installing XP recognize the hard drive very well and has completed the installation of XP, but when it restarts I get a screen of 7 Blue b a few seconds after having reached the XP loading screen. I tried with a disc XP slipstreamed with the Toshiba RAID drivers added as well as the F6 during installation to add RAID drivers manually. Same result.

    I also tried to run the installation with the RAID JBOD unit and 1RAID-0, same result. I tried different hard drives and I also tried in other S100 (we have 4 here to get XP on.)

    I hope to get some fresh ideas on what it feels like I've been watching the same index of crossword 4 days if you know what I mean.

    Kind regards

    Danny

    > Installing XP recognize the hard drive very well and has completed the installation of XP, but when it restarts I get a screen of 7 Blue b a few seconds after having reached the XP loading screen

    I doubt that this BSOD can be linked to the RAID or RAID settings driver since the Windows operating system has recognized the HARD drive and the installation could be completed.
    There must be another reason why
    However, you can also try to disable RAID in BIOS as well and then you could check how the facility would be produced.

    What CD of Win XP did you use? This disc includes all service packs?
    It must contain the SP1 and SP2 min.

  • The Portege S100 graphics card problem?

    I have a Portege S100-S113TD, and I was watching a youtube fullscreen video, when the screen went suddenly full of horizontal lines and the laptop became unresponsive - I had to physically hold the power button for about 10 seconds turn off.

    Now it turns on but I only have a blank screen - it is the graphics card?

    If so, can anyone suggest where I can buy a replacement graphics card?

    The current one is a nVidia GeForce Go 6200TE 64M / 128 M 6600TE - I tried looking for one, but perhaps they are now obsolete.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    > Now it turns on but I only have a blank screen - it is the graphics card?
    It seems that Yes

    But you are able to test the laptop with an additional external monitor?
    If possible, connect the external monitor and press Fn + F5 to check if something would be visible on 2nd screen.
    If photos on 2nd screen would be visible, then the GPU is OK and only your internal display is faulty.

  • Portege S100: How to change the RAID in the BIOS

    Change the BIOS setting for Portege S100 of JBOD to RAID0, I hit space on Exectute creation and enter the key of type string in the manual, and press "enter".

    I'm now at the end of my home, I just wanted to install new HDD WD and new installation of XP Pro, is - it too much to ask?

    Maybe it s a silly question but; have you installed the second HDD to the Ultra Slim Bay?
    The RAID did feature is available when a second HDDD is installed in Ultra Slim Bay.

    If the second HDD was inserted and then change the RAID in the Windows operating system.
    There should be a Toshiba RAID Console.
    You can use this console to create or manage a RAID array.

    To start the utility, click Start, point to all programs, point to Toshiba, RIAD-tap and click RAID console.
    It of possible to change the RAID1 (mirroring) of a configuration non-RAID (default).

    But note; When RAID1 is set, you cannot change your settings unless you completely restore your preinstalled software.
