WTF? That is the WORST case design I’ve ever seen on a laptop. I opened every panel on the bottom (also shittily designed) looking for the memory.

And you should see the cooling setup on this thing. There are literally three copper pipes running from the CPU to a heat sink at the back. What’s in them I don’t know.

THANKS FOR THIS GUIDE, THOUGH.

MARCI DAIBAC,

hi, i have a problem with my toshiba satellite sa40. when windows loading/booting. it autimatically turn off and restart again. what is the problem of my laptop? i did’nt change anything its all stock. please help me, i have a new 1 but i love this most and this is very important to me.

It’s hard to tall what is causing the problem without testing the laptop.
Can you boot your laptop in Safe Mode? Will it stay on in Safe Mode?
Also, enter the BIOS setup menu and leave the laptop in there. Will it shut down while in BIOS?

Hi,

I have a Kingston memory, DDR, Size 1024 MB, Speed 400 MHz, PC3200, CAS Latency 3 ms, 200 pin memory in my hand. Can I install it to the Toshiba Satellite A45 on which the original memory is DDR333 PC2700 256MB (X2)? Can I combine 1 DDR333(256MB) and 1 DDR400 (1GB) together? thanks a lot.

jaime,

i replaced my ram on my toshiba u305-s5077. i replaced it with ddr2 which is correct according to the internet info i got. but i forgot to turn off the computer before i removed the old one and replaced it with a new one, when i started it the screen would not show anything the power buttons are on but nothing on the screen, did i kill my computer?

Probably not.
Turn off the laptop and reconnect memory modules.
Make sure that both memory modules are installed correctly. Test the laptop again.
