View Full Version : Can not update RAM on Satellite Pro 4300 to 320 MB
Hi
My Satellite Pro 4300 has two memory slots (A and B).
My computer had originally 64 Mb in slot A (PA3004U).
Now I have plugged two 128 Mb memory modules (PA3005U) but I only get 192 Mb!!!
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to activate something in the BIOS?
Thanks in advance
By the way, both 128 Mb memory modules work properly. I have plugged them separately into slot A (leaving the slot B empty) and I get 192 Mb.
Hi Juan29 ;) greetings from Juan28 :D
Ok now to your problem:
I’m not 100% sure but in my opinion the 64MB could be a internal memory and usually such memory module cannot be removed. Furthermore it’s possible that the memory on this unit can be upgraded only up to the 192MB (64MB + 128MB)
According to the users manual (and system specifications) the Satellite Pro 4300 can be upgraded up to 320 Mb of RAM: 128 Mb in slot A + 128 Mb in slot B + internal 64 Mb = 320 Mb of RAM.
Any ideas of what could happen?
So in this case it sounds like a defective slot B.
You can try to put only one module in slot B for checking the functionality.
If I leave empty the slot A, the system does not recognize the module present in slot B. Should it recognize the memory in slot B if there's no memory plugged in the slot A?
The memory should be recognized, no matter if the slot A is empty or not.
My opinion the slot B is faulty.
