I own a Toshiba Satellite M110...The problem I'm having is I can't get the laptop to run on anything higher than 2gb of ram...Yet the booklet and numerous tech and information sites say that it can run with up to 4gb of ram...The problem that occurs is when I try to run it with more than 2gb of ram the laptop just doesn't boot up...I'm just wondering if I can run 4gb as per the booklet and web info and get around the boot up problem or should i just stick to what I know will run?

Your laptop should support up to 4GB of memory. 2GB per module.

The memory you have might not be compatible with your laptop or it might be defective. First try one 2GB module at the time.

Regards.

Can my Toshiba Satellite M35X-S311 take windows7

With 2GB RAM or more you can install/run Windows 7 on it and it should run okay (in my humble opinion).

Hi my Toshiba M110 laptop model PSMB0A-0IL00D screen flickers some times. It has gone all black few times as well. Is it cheap to fix? will it crash? Cheers Theo

Hello,
According to the manual for my Toshiba laptop, the price of the screen is about the third of the price of the laptop. Do the math.
Before looking for a repair shop, investigate first the reason foe the Flicker.
I just remembered: all screens flicker. But if they flicker at 50 Hertz you might notice it. The higher the frequency the less noticeable the flicker is. Check your graphics properties to find out if you screen cannot refresh at a higher rate than the current one (60Hz, 75Hz or higher). But beware! if you force it to flicker at a frequency that it cannot handle, you will damage it.

Hope it helps.

Changing the ram in my toshiba stellite a45 laptop

I don’t have a diagram for upgrading memory in this particular model, but it’s very easy. You can access both memory slots from the bottom of the laptop if you remove the memory cover. The cover is located in the middle, right beside the fans. All you have to do is remove 2 screws and remove the cover. I believe Satellite P15 memory is expandable to 2GB in both slots (Slot A + Slot B = 2GB) and you can use PC2100 DDR RAM, PC2700 memory should work too (it will run at PC2100 speed).

Check the laptop specifications before you buy new RAM module. I just discovered that different Satellite P15 models use different memory types. For example, according to Toshiba specifications Satellite P15-S409 uses PC2100 DDR memory, but Toshiba Satellite P15-S479 uses PC2700 DDR memory (I think it might be a typo, but not really sure).
