Toshiba Memory Upgrade 1405-S151

ballroomdancer · 04-11-2009, 09:50 AM

Received an older Toshiba laptop with 256 MB of ram. Trying to upgrade with an additional 512MB. Tried removing battery and power cord, switching RAM sockets, but it still has a "long beep then two short beeps". If I take out the 512MB, it works fine, but seems to be other issues, that is why I decided on more memory. Tried two different 512MB memories and same results.

Do I need to go into BIOS? If so, what Function key?

Toshiba Satellite 1405 series (AFAIK those with DDR RAM) has a maximum supported RAM of 512MB (with max. supported in socket = 256MB). Try to add 256MB module instead of a 512MB.
