Upgrading RAM Acer Travelmate P256.-m.

Hi newbie here so please be gentle!
I have an Acer Travelmate P256 M purchased recently for music production and want to increase the RAM of 4 GB to 8 GB. I bought the relevant stick of RAM, but when I came to install it, I realized there was no obvious hatch on the base of the laptop to access the RAM slots. Sure that I wouldn't have to disassemble the laptop to do this upgrade, but can't find a 'how to' anywhere - any help appreciated please

    Interested by Acer TravelMate P246-M - 53T 2 14 "Lpatop and that you want to upgrade to an SSD, it is simple to swap the disks or the hard drive built into the Board of Directors?

    Any information on this would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    It should be a regular SATA HDD and exchanges with a SATA SSD. I can't find guides to do this on a TravelMate P246-M - T 53, 2. Unless it has a door down to access the HARD disk and memory, you probably need to remove everything down. To the Acers you can take all the screws on the bottom and gently, she jump off and some will be tied down, so much, be careful of who and static damage electronics.

  • ACER Travelmate 5760 with Windows 10, cannot detect the external projector

    I have an ACER Travelmate 5760. I have upgraded to Windows 10, because Microsoft is launching a few checks and said that I would be able to upgrade. But now, the laptop cannot detect an external projector or monitor. Is there a driver that I need to improve?

    Thank you

    Winifred

    When you connect your projector, if you press the windows logo key + p, are you able to select expand and check if the projector work?

    also, if you right-click on your desktop and choose the settings display, is the acknowledged projector?

    How to connect the projector?

    on the drivers, you try to uninstall the real Intel VGA driver and reboot with your laptop connect on the web and let windows update find new drivers as appropriate.

  • Route change ACER Travelmate 240 hard drives.

    I have an Acer Travelmate 240 and you want to change the hard disk, in the former, we're always running out of virtual memory. I have windows XP home on my original HARD drive, although not an XP installation disc, I have the key to windows XP Edition family product Acer incorporated. I have the disks provided by ACER, when I bought the computer. Can anyone tell me if it is possible with what I have and how to do it.

    Just for info:

    If you mean that you see a message like this:

    Virtual memory minimum too low: your system is low on virtual memory.  Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.

    It is a configuration problem and has nothing to do with the amount of space on your hard drive.  It could be that you need to set the configuration of your system or you do not have an enough RAM your system to meet the needs of XP and your installed applications.

    The Acer Travelmate 240 I think that has either a 30 or 40 GB hard drive... not huge by today's standards then you will enjoy flexibility when you receive your new HARD drive running!

    While you wait, if you want to continue the virtual memory too low message, here's how:

    If you mean that you see a message like this:

    Virtual memory minimum too low: your system is low on virtual memory.  Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.

    This means that Windows XP is to let you know that he does his work.  The message is not an error message - this is an informational message.

    If XP thinks that the size of the swap file (usually c:\pagefile.sys) is too small to accommodate your day-to-day transactions, it will adjust the paging file to expand the pagefile and display this message as it does.  It is not necessarily a 'problem', but the message is boring.

    Sometimes, the message indicates someone was tampering with the XP of the paging file settings to try to solve another problem that usually has nothing to do with their paging file and resolve things inefficiently.

    This could mean that the settings have been adjusted for certain values that don't make sense for the configuration of the system.  Unless we know the system better, you can't just pick certain values out of the air and that your system behaves effectively.  You might not see the message again, but this does not mean that the settings are correct.

    This could mean that the settings have never been properly in the first place when you first install of XP and things must be properly configured.

    Sometimes, as your system configuration changes over time and other applications are running and get bigger, you may add additional RAM to your system to accommodate things (or run the number of requests).

    At least that learn you more about managing memory than Windows XP, it is usually best to simply let XP manage the size of your virtual memory paging file.

    To see what your current, make settings right click post work, properties, advanced, performance settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory, and then click the button change.

    Make a note of the current settings in case you need to change their return more later.

    The best setting for the size of swap file is usually going to be:

    System managed size

    Right click my computer, properties, Advanced tab, Performance... Settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory... Change.

    Note the current setting, so you can change things later if you have a problem.

    If it is already done, on the size of swap file:

    System managed size

    Don't forget to click on Set (to be defined), OK (several times) and then restart your computer.

    Windows XP will attempt to affect a swap file approximately 1.5 times the total amount of RAM installed on your system.  To manage the size of paging file Windows XP is enough for most configurations.

    If your system is not set to the size of the managed system, you must determine how it changed and why (usually a bad reason), make a note of the current settings to change them back later if necessary, and then change the setting to the size of the managed system, click on the Set button and then click on apply to apply the changes (you will be asked to restart).

    "Because someone told me to" is not a good reason to start making adjustments to the size of pagefile.  Setting just above to enlarge it by an arbitrary value can ease the symptoms of the problem and stop message, but may not result in the best configuration for your system.

    If you want your system to operate as efficiently as possible, you must understand what is happening and fix it properly and not only begin to try things or make some arbitrary adjustments.

    The size of the pagefile can really need adjustment, but you should at least try to know what you're doing and why you need to do.  It is unlikely that anyone can tell you how to adjust your settings properly without more information.

    If you don't know what are the best settings, or if you are not sure what should be your settings, follow these steps:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and what appears to be personal information for you, simply delete the personal information of the pasted information.

    This minimize back Q & A and eliminate the guesswork and assumptions.

  • Tecra Z40 - A - the upgrade (RAM RAM)

    Hi all

    Ordered little RAM to upgrade my Toshiba Tecra Z40 - A, but can not find, for the life of me, anything where you want to insert online.

    I previously installed RAM under the keyboard (couple of clips holding it) and on the other, a small cover on the bottom, but the Z40 does not appear to be anywhere easily accessible.

    Has anyone upgraded RAM on the Z40? Or is it a big no, no, because of the guarantee?

    Thank you
    Lance

    Memory upgrade on this model Tecra is a bit complicated and, in my view, should not be done by the owner of the laptop. For some models of Ram upgrade can be done by the owner of the laptop and exact instructions how do proposed in document s user manuals, but not for your Tecra.

    For full access to the RAM modules lower lid should be removed and it can be done by people of service only. If you do this alone you can void the warranty valid.
    I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for help or advice.

  • Portege 4000 - upgrade RAM & graphic card driver installation

    I'm having some trouble with my Portege 4000 for the moment. I installed XP on a disk, but will no longer have that I have 256 MB of RAM...

    -Have you tried 2 manufacturers but the PC133 512 is not compatible. However, my system has an IBM of PC100 256 chip, which was bought early last year, after much trial and error, and I wonder now if the motherboard will be more suited to the PC100 and PC133 non?

    -Consider the options alternative to XP, 98SE or 2000 because they are lighter operating systems. I can put it on a spare drive (test). Is it possible to set up a partition for recovery CD Rom (which has 98SE) on this subject and have little space left over to install another Linux operating system or its Manager partition crushes everything?

    -J' put another post for .exe drivers related to the display/vga for 98SE and 2000.

    -Just for the record, not all Linux distributions seem to go back on the size of the screen, so it takes some work...

    Thanks much for any help.

    The protégé 4000 is compatible with the PC133 modules! AFAIK, you can upgrade RAM of this notebook 1 GB (1024 MB) and you can use these modules;
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)
    PC133 128 MB (PA3085U - 1 M 12)

    You can create partitions on the HARD drive using a 3rd party like Partition Magic 8 tool. I use this tool and it's really nice.
    After you create 2 or three partitions on the HARD disk, you could install different OS (operating systems).

  • Upgrade Ram on a Netbook NB200 - 00L

    I gave to my two daughters a Netbook Toshiba NB200 - 00L. Both came loaded with Windows 7 Starter. If I just upgrade to Windows Home Premium, it will slow down computers. I was told that the maximum ram that can take netbooks is 1gig. However, I keep seeing that people are upgraded to 2gigs. I want to upgrade the ram so that Windows Home Premium will work better. Can someone enlighten me on this subject. Upgrading ram Home Premium support will be more effective? Also, is anyone Home Premium running on their netbooks without upgrading, and it is really slow? Thank you

    Hello

    AFAIK NB200 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. Therefore, you can check the specs on the Toshiba site!

    I m not NB200 owner but I improved my other laptops equipped with modules from Kingston. I've never had a problem with these modules. They always run stable and don t make problems.
