Upgrading RAM in Satellite L30-105

Hello

I need to update my RAM that Vista is slow _painfully_ in standard. My machine is supposed to have 1 GB of RAM but Windows System info and my BIOS show 894MB?
This does not coincide with the 2 x 512 listed as my hardware... I'm confused!

Can you recommend a 2 GB upgrade provider that supports DDR2 (533 mhz)? Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of before upgrading the RAM for a L30-105?

Thank you

Mark

Please, do not waste the time of the users of the forum, just take a look at the last 10-15 pages of the forum "Satellite L Series. Just check the subjects on the L30 series, and I'm sure that you find the answers. There are many topics on these problems, and it takes only 5-10 minutes to find the answers. I recommend the use of the advanced Forum search option. Thank you.

    Hello!

    My laptop is Satellite L30-134 (PSL33E-00E00WRU).

    I want to use RAM DDR2 800 Mhz 2 x 1 Gb in there. Is this possible?

    On the motherboard FSB speed is 533 MHz so I advise you to use compatible RAM modules.
    I don't know why you want to use these Rams from 800 MHz. For more performance or what?

  • Satellite L30-105 does not recognize the 1 GB of additional RAM

    Hi there I hope someone can help me

    I have a Satellite L30-105 PSL33E, which came with 1 GB of ram installed (2 x 512 MB made by TeamViewer)
    and it's terribly slow with vista, not to mention programs.
    The toshiba website says max RAM is 2 GB, so I bought a Kingston 1 GB ram chip to increase the ram to 1.5 GB. I thought should try before moving to 2 GB

    However after installing memory vivid it's show still only 1 GB in windows and in the bios (894 + the rest for video). It has the latest available BIOS on the site 3.10, yet still does not recognize the chip.

    The chip is installed in the lower slot, including the original 512 at the top (closest to the keyboard)

    Are limited to only some of the Satellite of RAM?
    The old subjects indicate if kingston does not work try corsair.
    Other topics suggested to change slots
    Others suggest that it may have only two of the same ram chips in IE 2 x 512 or 2 x 1 GB, you may not have 1 of each

    Can anyone help? everyone knows about similar problems?

    I will not buy any more RAM to try different brands for the same issue to occur

    Hello

    The L30-105 is able to manage the 1024Mo modules in each location it should be able to update the RAM up to 2 GB.

    > Why the RAM 1 GB module cannot be recognized?
    Perhaps the two modules are not compatible with each other
    I would recommend using two identical modules of the same manufacturing
    I use Kingston modules, they are ok for me

  • Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see the DVD - ram UJ-850 s

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista does not recognize the DVD - ram. BIOS recognize DVD-ram. I tried to download the drivers for the DVD-ram, but they are not on the side of Toshiba.

    Who can help me to get the right driver or learn more? Problems with the carpet * a DVD-ram uj-850 s ATA device and windows Vista.

    Hello

    The CD/DVD drive needs no special drivers!
    Vista includes a Microsoft driver that works with all CURIOUS s (CD/DVD drives)

    Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.

    A few questions; did you get any error messages? What is the status of Device Manager? Do you see yellow exclamation points?

    There is an old way to correct a similar drive problem. It worked on XP then try it on Vista OS.
    It of necessary to update the registry entry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    1. click on the start menu.
    2. If it is a Vista machine in the search box type regedit without quotes.
    3. look for the registry key mentioned above.
    4. in the right panel you'll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and UpperFilter you want to click on each key filter and tap on delete. Click Yes when asked to confirm if you want to delete the key.
    5. restart Windows.
    6 let me know if it works.

  • Memory not correct system on Satellite L30-105

    I just purcased a Satellite L30-105. It is supposed to be 1024 MB (1 GB) of Ram installed.
    Windows and the BIOS see 894Mb
    In the BIOS it reads memory system: 633 MB
    Extended memory: 894 MB

    Should he not see the complete 1024Mo?
    Can I have a problem with the installed memory?

    Thanks a lot for any advice.

    Hello

    I completely agree with Abe83.
    The graphics card shares memory with the main memory of the laptop and the free difference appears so as a memory system.
    It s nothing unusual and everything is ok with your laptop! Don t worry buddy ;)

  • Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) - BIOS downgrade succesfull

    Hi all
    first of all sorry for my English.

    I am the owner of Toshiba Satellite L30 - 105 (PSL33E) bought in Italy. I wasn't stisfied v3.10 update of the Bios and I searched for the old version of bios, but on the server of European support, all the old bios (-2,6 3.0 etc.) disappeared.

    Read this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=120416 I read about using files of bios of US to downgrade the bios as suggested to user Anhchuong.

    Many of us was skeptical about using U.S. bios on laptop computer EU.

    After a lot of time and knowing US L35 - S2366 (PSL33U) have exactly the same specification of the mine (except mine have 1024 ram instead of 512 b), I decided to use v 3.0 bios version to update my bios. EVERYTHING WORKED!

    At the moment, I am writing from my lappy and I can confirm that CPU temp is degrees 6-7 °.

    Hope this helps someone else.

    Thanks for your posting. This is a very useful info.

    Hey guys =)

    Ive got a Satellite L30-105 running a Vista 32 bit. And even if I try several different (Imageburn, Nero) burning software, and with the TDK - CD, I get an error in the burning software, saying "power calibration error".

    Satellite L30 - 105 (item number PSL33E-02S026N5), use a cd/dvd burner called MAST * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s

    I wonder, can I download and install new drivers for my dvd player?

    I will also try to buy this "cleaning-cd", to try to clean the lens. cause I bought the laptop in 2007... then her grandmother as...

    But you guys don't have any what could be bad? Is it expensive to get a new cd/dvd drive for this laptop?

    Bravo and thank you!

    Hello

    Power calibration error means that the laser ODD lens cannot calibrate in the right position.
    Generally this has nothing to do with a firmware of drive but with the problem of equipment.

    In most cases, the CD/DVD drive must be replaced.

    I'm not sure how a new CD/DVD drive could be but the fact is that you cannot use any CD/DVD drive
    You need a compatible and such disc compatible and taken in charge could be ordered in a local ASP.

    Could someone give me an idiots guide on how to upgrade a display driver for my Satellite L30 - 105 (PSL33E) Please?

    OK, here is my guide;

    Download the graphics driver for your model of laptop.
    Unzip the package.
    Access to the Device Manager, then mark the graphics card driver update.
    Then a new window will open.
    You must use the second advanced option.
    Then choose the option called Don t research. I will choose the driver (or something like that)

  • Satellite L30-105 will not boot after memory expansion

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-105, with 1 GB of memory (2 X 512 MB modules).
    I bought 2 X 1 GB-compatible modules to extend the memory to its max.

    When I install the two new modules the laptop won't boot. I tried to install one at the time and both work individually. I also tried 1 X 512 MB
    and 1 X 1 GB, which also worked.

    Help I have updated the bios but still can not computing for work with 2 GB of memory?

    Thank you
    Rebmark

    I am also interested what compatible modules you use.

    Just FYI: your laptop model can handle with 2 GB RAM and compatible module - 1 GB DDR2-400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G).

  • Satellite L30-105 Dual Boot with XP Possible

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L30-105, and while I do not particularly like Vista, I need to keep it for various reasons. However, I must also now use the laptop with a piece of hardware (a North G2 synthesizer) who does no Vista drivers.

    So I think the best thing I can do is to create a dual boot system, but a lot of articles on the net say you need from your CD original Vista, and of course the laptop does not come with one.

    So what I want to do possible? And there at - it a guide for how to do this? I have an XP license and the CD that I can use for this.

    Hello

    I installed the XP and Vista on my laptop.
    It was a little difficult because the XP installation crushed the Vista MBR (master boot record) and the Boot Manager.
    But I solved it by using the original CD of Vista. I had to borrow from a friend.

    I booted from CD of Vista and it repaired the Vista Boot Manager.
    Then I installed the tool called EasyBCD and set up the Vistas Boot Manager.

    That helped get XP and Vista on two different partitions.

    Hello

    I think the problem is that Vista graphic driver does not support this option.
    The option described in the in the other thread was available in the argument XPOS.

    But why would you change? On my L30 128 MB shared memory are activated, but the laptop uses only 64 MB if I put t run all applications performance.
    The pilot controls the amount of shared memory automatically.

    You can se under control panel-> display-> advanced settings
    In the map tab, you can see total graphic memory available (in my case 128 MB) and system memory shared (64 MB)

    By the way; I don't think that 32 MB graphics memory may be sufficient if you're running Vista

  • Satellite L30-105 - lack of HARD drive connector

    Hello

    just picked up this laptop Satellite L30-105 for his son who had some hard drive purchased.

    I see specs it's a disc sata hard again, but the problem is that the laptop seems to be missing the connector on the hard drive.

    The laptop has just 1 row of holes where the disk sata hard was 2.

    Anyone knows where to buy connector or any help would be great thanks dave.

    You are right.
    The laptop supports SATA 2.5 HARD disk and so you should be able to use a SATA 2.5 HARD.

    I'm not quite sure which adapter is absent, but my 2.5 SATA HDD contains a piece of plastic that is removable
    Maybe you need it however, I think you could ask for except if a mobile technician in downtown or you could order it from a Toshiba authorized service partner in your country.

    Good bye

    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.
