Tokyo - Toshiba Corp said it will exchange defective memory modules in 650 000 of its laptop computers worldwide starting on Monday.
The faulty modules, supplied by a third party, could cause blue screens, lockups or data corruption, although the probability of the problems was "extremely low", the major laptop maker said.
An online program could be downloaded to detect which of the 25 models made since April 2002 had problems, it said.
No computers are currently being made with the faulty parts, a spokesperson said.
The exchange program was free to customers and would end in April, it said. The company did not say how much it would spend on the program.
