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).

Should a toshiba a45 s121 mb post without memory installed?

No. The A45 series (and the near identical A40 series) have no base memory: at least one of the two RAM sockets underneath the keyboard needs to be populated for it to post.

Toshiba A45-S250 laptop keeps trying to load XP but keeps rebooting. I would like to use my recovery disk but I don't know how to get the laptop to recognize or boot from the disk. Safe Mode won't load...

Sorry mate...
It seems the the issue is with RAM.
A complete Hardware malfunction/ failure issue.
All you can do it is to replace the RAM that you have in ur laptop.
It will work for sure.
Best of luck.

Cant find ram chips in a Toshiba Satellite A45-S151

The memory is under the keyboard on this laptop. You should be able to pry up the keyboard with a small screwdriver between the keyboard bezel and the keyboard itself.

Be very careful not to break the wires connecting the keyboard to the internals of the computer.

I hope this helps.

Changing out memory

On that model, the memory is under the keyboard.

Here is a good tutorial on disassembly:

Although this tutorial is for hinge replacement, you will see the memory under the keyboard in step 17.
