I put my memory stick into my toshiba laptop and it wont read.....plz help me

ok remove on stick of memory from the new installed memory

restart computer and check how much is there

what you are seeing sometimes happens with mismatched memory sticks based on maker or speed

double check that memory all has same speed rating

You will need the Mass Storage Drive to be able to read memory cards. Go to the Toshiba download center here:

Search your laptops serial number at Laptops>>Satellite>> and download the mass storage driver.

sony is for sony, reformat it

OK 3 things needed to boot a PC...
Memory, Video and CPU...
Easiest thing to do first is try and swap out a memory stick. Hopefully you have a burnt out stick of memory.
Open the memory slot and hopefully there are 2 sticks try one then the other.
When you say nothing works I am assuming you can't even get into the bios.
If you are talking about not booting to windows that is a completely different story. But for now I'd try the memory thing.

sorry i don't know

I suggest to use only 1gb stick on your laptop. Some of the machine don't require to upgrage memory size from the original size due to system limitation and this will some leads to system hang or wont able to boot machine at all.

First try to reseat the memory, if it is still showing the same amount, then you may have a bad stick of memory, remove both and insert 1 stick into Dimm 1 slot and see if it still registers 894, then put the other in the same slot and see what it registers. Then try in the Dimm2 slot and see if you get a different reading Depending on the manufacturer, it may only show that amount since Windows shows memory different that the memory manufacturer.

Hope this helps.

The problem must be the amount of total memory. Maybe the board supports only 1 gig. Chek the manual.

Its probably not the BIOS but the board warping beneath the CPU Socket or similar.. Dont flash it (BIOS) or it will probably kill the chip. Let me look up the model number...
