Toshiba Satellite L40 (PSL48x & PSL4Cx): CPU Upgrade

[DeathBringer]

I can not use 2x2gb sticks but can use 1gb+4gb without issues. Can this bios mods help with this?

This laptop is based on GL960 chipset. It support 1GB maximum in first SODIMM.

However it's amazing it works with 2gb in the first slot using linux. it should not work. it's a loophole XD

I tried to update another pc this that still had the bios version 1.6. However after the reboot it still showed v1.6.

Did anyone have the same issue?

Run it with administrative rights.

Thank you, but it isn't working. Is it because I am using vista sp3?

Is it because I am using vista sp3?

I don't know. Try Windows XP or Windows 7

[msramalho]

xp didn't work. This .exe was made for vista but the date seems to be before sp2. Let's see if it works now.

Did you solve the problem? I have the same problem

Run it with administrative rights.

If you already have BIOS 5.50, then how to flash the modified BIOS 2.0? The command line says Fail to initialize WinIo .
The T8300 is seen at half frequency 1.2 Ghz on 5.50 BIOS.
It's Windows 7 x64, I run the command line as administrator.
Perhaps I'm using the wrong flasher, because... from the Toshiba website via the link on the previous page is not available.
Can you post it somewhere?
