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.

I have a Toshiba SA40-231, which seem to be built pretty much the same as the one in the article. I found this article while looking for a description on how to get access to the fan, in order to change it. Your article is the closest I have got that describes how to access at least the memory slot.

Could you please discribe how I could continue to remove the keyboard, the motherboard and other things needed to get access to the fan? Must I remove the memory slot, keyboard with cable and other things from the motherboard first?

I would really appreciate it. I’ve had my Toshiba for years now and I love it.

I got a system warning about problem with the fan system and the computer starts to work extremely slow. Have already cleaned the hetsink and other things. But I still get a system warning about the fan system and the computer begins to work extremely slow after a few minutes. Installed SpeedFan. All values seems to be okej now, cpu, hard drive and ACPI. However, three tiny grey plastic pieces dropped out from within. They may come from the fan, but don’t manage to detect this. The fan seems to work okej.

May it be an erroneous message that still makes the system to work slower. I updated the bios, but it didn’t change anything. I also looked for the cmos battery to reset the values, but could find it.

How do you install ram in a Satellite 1800-S204?

In a Satellite 1800 both memory slots can be access through the bottom of the laptop. Take a look at the step 2 in this guide.
This model will take up to 512MB of RAM. You can install up to 256MB RAM module into each slot.
You’ll have to use PC133 SDRAM SODIMMs.

Thanks in advance,

i have the satelite a45 but on the 1st step when you remove the speakers thing i have buttons next to the power button will this make a diference?

It shouldn’t make any difference.

also does the plastic speaker thing just snap back in place? if not how do you install it

Do you mean the speaker cover? Yes, it just snap back in. There are small plastic latches holding it in place.

Can you post instructions for a Toshiba Tecra M10? I can’t find the 2nd memory module!

That’s a newer laptop and I haven’t seen it yet. It must have two memory slots. If there is only one memory slots on the bottom, most likely the second one somewhere under the keyboard. Maybe your Tecra M10 is similar to this Tecra M9 laptop? Take a look at the step 7, it pictures the second memory slot under the keyboard.

Thanks,
