It can support up to 2gb 1GB per slot. My quick research showed it as PC2100 not 2700. What may be happening is your laptop is under clocking the ram to work with it. http://www.memory-up.com/memory/ToshibaSatellite9722_128MB266MHz.html

make sure it is unplugged and powered off and battery removed before removing screws.
the screws are small so you will need a small screwdriver Usually Phillips head
There may or may not be a memory module in there already. Make sure to research proper memory size - speed and brand before upgrading.
You will be removing the keyboard and other components make sure to note where they go and dont pull too hard
Here is the manual and go to page 67

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.

Here is a link to the toshiba support page for the M55S1001. You should be able to find what your looking for within the "Downloads" section.

hi


you are experiencing a power problem, i suggest you open up your laptop(if you cant do it yourself give it to someone who can to open for you), then perceive for burnt smell..if you don't perceive any then its definitely your power pack that is faulty and you should have it changed

You will find the memory on the Toshiba A45-S250 under the keyboard. Snap of the grill that also has the on/off button on it, just above the keyboard. You will find two screws holding down the keyboard and another screw near the middle holding down a small silver piece that is holding down the center part of the keyboard. Lift the keyboard from the screen end toward you. Memory is located under a clear plastic flap.The power should be off and the battery removed during this operation. Be sure to touch some metal piece to ground yourself also. Good luck.

Most toshibas have a small screw on the bottom of the computer, next to the memory cover. take screw out and the use a paper clip or turn on laptop, to eject dvd drive, then turn off laptop, unplug power, then pull on drive outward, shold slid out of laptop,.
if replacing with new drive remove metal screw clip off the back of old dvd drive and screw onto new dvd drive, slide in and replace screw!

There are two fans in this unit. It was my secondary fan that had failed. The primary fan is the one on the bottom that you can see, and the secondary is in the back near the usb connectors.

You'll need to determine which one has failed. I was able to diagnosis mine by setting the power management features to Level 2 from 4 on the cpu, and the fan setting to "battery optimized."

In that particular configuration, I could hear a fan turning on, but it wouldn't run long enough to trip the error message. I was then able to use the machine in a very slow speed waiting for the replacement fan to arrive. The fan was about $35, but because of it being buried so far into the internals, it took me three hours to disassemble, replace, and reassemble the machine.

I used the pictures here: http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA45/Satellite-A45-remove-hinges-1.htm as a guide for assembly and disassembly.

Below is the link to your service manual that goes over the disassembly in detail.

Have you adjusted screen brightness control as I have seen lots of Laptops with the screen brightness control "bumped" to min.!!!

Press and hold F8 while booting up to access Safe Mode functions which include Safe Mode with Command Prompt and Safe Mode with Networking. Hope this answers your question. Best of luck!

If you had run recovery disk for several times and still have the same problem then you must go to other solution. Reprogram your computer operating system, this is last thing you have to do. You need your operating system installer. Setup a fresh copy of it. Don't forget also the computer support cd which contain all the drivers needed in installing an operating system. Hope this could help..Please don't forget to rate me..Thanks..:-)

It migth be powerjack problem. Try to move the jack very gently then plug it on and try like this one more time, If you get any moves, you need to take to Techguy.
You may have Bulb problem if you can't see the LCD. This is comes from inverter or Bulb. Or even graphic card. You need professional.
Goodluck
