Upgrading RAM on the Satellite 2450 S203

Recently upgraded from 2 x 256 to 2 x 512 MB memory RAM. Put new memory in the laptop could not start. Replaced by the original memory still fails to start.

All solutions?

Hello

Try switching the modules in the memory locations. Sometimes, this might help.
If possible, try to access the BIOS and to set default settings.

But if the laptop will not start in the original and compatible memory modules, then you damage something during the memory upgrade procedure.

Just for info:
Is that you must use the PC2700 200 pin SODIMM (333 Mhz) DDR modules. These modules are compatible

  • Upgrading RAM on the Satellite 2450-201

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade of RAM to my laptop. I'm not sure whether the maximum RAM can take my laptop is 1024 or 2048 MB. A site on the net says that my laptop took TBD 1024 2048 MB.

    Is it 1 GB or 2 GB?
    Kind regards

    Hello

    I also found information that the size of upgrade memory max is 1024MB.
    In this case, you can use two modules with 512 MB.

    The compatible modules should be PC2100 DDR - RAM
    PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
    PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
    PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

  • How to upgrade my 256 MB RAM on the Satellite 2450-201?

    How to upgrade my 256 MB RAM on my Toshiba Satellite 2450 201? Where is the RAM located on it?

    AFAIK, you can upgrade to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) memory
    You use PC2100 DDR - RAM memory modules.
    The memory must be located under the keyboard. Remove the keyboard, to first remove the thin cover above the keyboard and remove the 2 screws that are placed under the thin cover.

    But if you don't have any experience you shouldn't t do. In this case, contact the service in your country

  • Upgrading RAM on the Satellite L30 - 11 d

    My brother has a Satellite L30 - 11 d and he bought an extra 2 GB upgrade from 512 MB RAM.
    HE sent me an email - excerpt below, but does not have regular access to the Internet and so not the time of this post.

    My laptop has 512 MB of ram and Toshiba etc. told me that it could be upgraded to 2 GB. I got 2 x 1 GB cards installed.
    The problem is that if I remove the 512 MB card, the laptop does not see the Go cards at all, so I put the card 512 back in and it was OK, so I put a 1 GB card in and it worked OK, thinking it might be a loser card I have triedthe other cards plus the works of 512 and this.

    Also, if I put one of the GB cards on their own that work.
    According to Toshiba, the computer can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM - so what I am doing wrong.

    Any ideas would be appreciated. »

    Hello

    I googled and found this page of specification of Satellite L30 - 11 d:
    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 128130

    According to this page, the satellite L30 - 11 d can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB)
    You must use the RAM (533 MHz) DDR2 200pin modules.

    I think that the laptop doesn't recognize the 2 GB of RAM due to compatibility issues you should try the modules of RAM from another manufacturer. Maybe Kingston would be ok.

  • Upgrading RAM in the Satellite A200-1WR

    Hello!

    My laptop is a Satellite A200-1WR, code PSAE3E-05J01CCE, including 2.048 (1,024 + 1,024) MB RAM memory.
    I wonder if it is possible to upgrade to 4 GB memory
    In the specifications, it is said that the maximum expansion is 2 GB.

    However, I don't know if 2 GB is the maximum expansion for each slot, it is possible to have two modules of 2 GB each, or the motherboard was held 2 GB total.

    Thanks in advance

    Unfortunately, this model of laptop can handle with 2 GB of RAM only.
    Sorry, but move to 4 GB is not possible.

    Hi mate,

    I think that the problem might be in the configuration of the shared memory of the chipset, because the system takes 1 GB shared memory.
    Unfortunately you have no influence since the chipset is automatically assign memory depending on how you install.

    This is no design flaw rather it s (unfortunately) a decision to Intel/Nvidia.

    In this case won´t you have a bit of luck but since Don t work you with CAD applications (which I suppose :)) or similar applications of "memory-hungry" won´t recognize you any show change if it would be different (if you have 4 GB available and not 3Gig))

  • Upgrading RAM on the Satellite 1400-253 s

    Hi all

    I have problems with some memory I bought for the computer above. Memory is purchased from Crucial, it's a 512 MB PC133 144pin sodimm (CT64M64S4W75.16FDY) stick
    The problem I have is when I install it I get 3 beeps error (looks like 1 LNG 2 sheets), I tried to install it in different locations, by itself and with the old 128 MB memory stick, but I always impossible he can begin. I know that I have the right type of memory, but still this 'thing' will beep at me... What did I do wrong?

    BTW, laptop working again if I am in the old 2 x 128 MB sticks

    Of course, you bought not compatible RAM modules. I recommend to buy tested and recommended products manufacturer.

    You have two options to do this. Initially, you can use the RAM memory modules recommended by Toshiba 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51) PC133 and PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25) or you can order high-quality Kingston modules.

    Please visit http://www.kingston.com/products/default.asp and you will find the memory Configurator. This will help you find links to compatible memory for your laptop satellite.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Is the western digital 120 GB HDD compatible with Satellite 2450 S203 WD1200VE?

    My hard drive crashed on my laptop and now blue screen whenever I turn it on, when it tries to start. Finally it will start but then I can't turn off again without going through the same process.

    I tried to replace the original 40 GB hard drive model number MK4021GAS with another model of disk toshiba MK4026GAX to see he has an IDE #0 error on startup which I think means that it is not compatible, as it works in a caddy without any problem. So I would check the compatibility of a hard drive, I'm interested.

    I've been watching 120 GB WD1200VE drive and I was wondering if it's compatible? If someone could give me any assistance on this would be welcome!

    Thank you

    Hello

    The IDE #0 error because the HARD disk has been configured for the wrong master/slave/c-salt settings.
    Please check the position of the rider on your old HDD and set the same on the new one (MK4026GAX)
    Looking for a new 120 GB WD1200VE? Well, the Satellite 2450 S203 is a little bit older and I'm afraid the BIOS will not support this large size of disk HARD m.

    I would recommend so check the MK4026GAX settings before you buy a new HARD drive device.

  • Toshiba satellite 2450 s203 does not recognize the atheros wireless network adapter

    Hello!

    I have a toshiba satellite 2450 s203 and a network card wireless atheros integrated - somewhere in the laptop - there.

    However, I am running win xp pro and the Device Manager IS NOT to FIND THE MAP!

    He finds the ethernet card and a 1394 network adapter!

    But not the wireless network card!

    Any ideas? I downloaded the drivers from the card wireless site but without success!

    What should I do?

    Thank you!

    Hello
    The WiFi card is an option for this model for example. It is not included in all machines. You must purchase the correct module for W - lan to work.

    If the card is installed in the machine, you should see a yellow esclamation mark (!) or "unknown device" If you uninstalled hw.

  • Satellite 2450 S203: SMART HDD can fail - HARD drive change?

    Hello

    My Satellite 2450 S203 seems to run slow extremeley (20 minutes to start windows!). I get a warning in the Manager of Toshiba hard disk may fail soon.

    I guess I should do a new hard drive? Is it possible to fix it? If not, what type of replacement hard drive should get?

    Thank you
    Andreas

    Hello Andreas

    If the HARD drive has a mechanical problem it aren't there has not much to do and you should buy a new HARD drive. But before this I recommend you to do the clean install of OS and see how the laptop runs. After the long period of use and many facilities that the OS will be slower and slower, but 20 minutes is definitely too long for the start-up procedure.

    According to specifications specification must be 40 GB of HARD drive. I'm sure that for the upgrade, you can use 60 GB HARD drive. On this HARD drive replacement is quite simple and you can do it alone. If you n t do this please write again.

  • Satellite 2450-S203 - installed XP SP1 of recovery CD - cannot update

    The hard drive on my Satellite 2450 S203 has not then I replaced and installed XP from the recovery CD. Everything's fine. I now have a PC running XP SP1.

    I tried the update of XP start > all progtrams > Windows update but it failed, the updated software I used was not compatible with the update site or something similar.

    I found a site of Microsoft, who said I had to install SP1a and then put to SP1a update to SP3. I downloaded the SP1a installation tool and it seemed to do things, and I'm guessing that SP1a installed OK.

    When I go to start > all programs > Windows update, the update starts OK but after a few moments, I get an error message on the Microsoft Update Server does not.

    * Question 1: *-anyone have any ideas what I should try next?

    * Question 2: * fact Toshiba have nowhere where I can download a more current version of XP - SP2 or SP3 say - so that I can eventuially happen to SP3 without SP1?

    Any thoughts are welcome!

    > Question 1: someone has any good ideas what I should try next?

    Win XP SP1 is part of SP2. So, you can download the SP2 package from Microsoft or any other Windows pages page just google
    So after installing SP2, you can follow with SP3.

    Before you install SP3, you will need to install SP2 first

    > Question 2: Toshiba has nowhere where I can download a more current version of XP - SP2 or SP3 say - so that I can eventuially happen to SP3 without SP1?

    On the pages of Toshiba, you can download only the drivers and Toshiba tools
    Windows Service Packs are Microsoft products, and you should check the Microsoft pages for this.

  • Satellite 2450 S203: registration issue

    I am the owner of a Satellite 2450 S203 and I can't find it on the recording of "my computer"? any idea?

    Hello

    You can try other toshiba sites around the world. Start with toshiba.com, I don't know where you are, but for example, I am from Turkey and my satellite SA30-303 does not appear in the U.S. site. This can be the same kind of problem. Some models of satellite are not sold in some countries I think.

    In addition, yet once I'm not sure of your model of satellite, but you can see the discontinued models.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite 2450 s203, "Key Blind" vs Alt right

    Hello!
    I have a problem with my Satellite 2450 s203 keyboard. The sequence of keys on my keyboard is (right): bar space, "blind button", Ins, Del, RightAlt.
    "Blind touch" is the key with any letter/sign on them. When you type, you will get "------" ("' | ' with pressed Shift"). A special touch for "-" ("" | "") exist on the keyboard as well (with the signs- and | clearly marked on it)!

    To get specific special characters for the Polish language I frequently do RightAlt Key, which is too far to the right, to hit him. Usually the faucets of my finger on the delete key instead of Alt right, and the effect of this makes me nervous ;-)

    The question is: is there any software provided for the mapping of this key"blind"? What it is?
    And finally: it is possible to map the Alt key on the right the key "blind"?

    I found a resolution to http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/input/w2kscan-map.mspx, but I do not know what scan code generate this key "blind."

    Thank you in advance for your help!

  • I would like to upgrade the RAM of the Satellite A100-803

    Hello

    I want to upgrade the RAM of my Satellite A100-803, which uses actually PC2-533, at 4 GB.

    Can I upgrade to PC2 - 667?
    Do I need Dual-Channel?
    One advises on what brand or the best model to use?

    If I not mistaken and for what I could see around the internet, I should be able to switch to 4 GB PC2-667 and Dual-Channel should not be necessary. But an expert of confirmation would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Best regards.
