• Satellite 2430-301: cannot use 2200BG WLan card because the switch is off

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 2430-301, which was not delivered with WLAN functionality. But I discovered, that there is a MiniPCI slot in the laptop.

  So, I bought an Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Minipci card. After that I joined the card in the laptop, it has been detected by windows as a new network device. I downloaded and installed the drivers of Windows XP (because I have Windows XP installed on the laptop) of Intel (9.0.4.17) home page. The installation worked perfectly.

  Now I tried to connect to a wireless network, but the software Intel says that the card is on 'off '. So I changed the menu drop-down on "on", which resulted in a mistake in German: "Die Intel (r) PRO/Wireless-Netzwerkverbindung ist noch deaktiviert.» Aktivieren Sie sie über your Hardware-switch. "(which means something like 'network Intel (r) PRO/Wireless connection is turned off. Turn it on with the hardware switch. »).

  Although the switch was already in position "on", I spent several times - nothing important happened. The led next to the switch will not illuminate in both positions.

  Are there problems of incompatibility between "Toshiba Satellite 2430 301" and "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG?

  I did something wrong?

  Is - this darn broken hardware switch?

  Any suggestions?

  I would be really happy if someone could help me :)

  Thanks in advance,
  Thuriel

  Hello

  The hardware switch led should light up if the switch is on.
  In addition if you want to use the WiFi network you must go to the WLan with FN + F8 option.
  In addition, you must check the WLan card properties in Device Manager. Here, you enter the Advanced tab. In the field of property choose radio power option and select the value to on.

• Re: Satellite 2430 402: the processor upgrade possible?

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite 2430 402 with P4 2.53 GHz.
  Is it possible to change the processor of a more recent/fast (up to 3.4 GHz)?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Maybe an other old Intel P4 CPU would work, but you will not be able to upgrade and use newer processors.
  Furthermore a stronger CPU would create more heat dissipation and this would lead to a temperature more high which could affect the functionality of the laptop.

  So even if a new CPU would be recognized correctly by the BIOS, it might affect the functionality of the laptop.

• Satellite 2430-402, display driver problem

  I have a Satellite 2450-201. Very often when the system comes back to hibernate the system will not reboot, it gets stuck after the opening logo. I have to turn it off then then got in safe mode and then restart. I get a message that the system has recovered from a failure of the device and it identifies the driver of Nvidia display as the culprit. I have re-charge the last driver from Toshiba, but if I try AN update of Microsoft, the screen goes crazy, and I have to go back through the re-boot and safe mode thing. Any ideas on what may be the problem?

  Good evening! I had this problem with my Satellite 2430 402. I ve updated the Bios and everything was fine.

  Check your Bios Version at first?

• Satellite 2430 XP startup problem

  Windows XP will not load on my laptop Satellite 2430-402, saying that the C:\Windows\System32\config\system file is missing or damaged and to try to run the option repair.

  I have 2 Toshiba Recovery CD which I managed to launch the program of recovery based on the BACK which has 2 options:

  1 full restore, I want to do
  2. selective restore, I don't want to do, but have no instructions

  I don't seem to have an XP CD, where I could start recovery of Microsoft application.

  Can someone give me the steps to undertake a selective recovery of Toshiba (from Symantec) back-based recovery CD?

  Thank you

  Hello

  In this case, I'm always ruthless. Back up the data and do fresh install. Then only I am 100% sure that everything works correctly. :)

  Anyway, if you want to make new installation with restore CD there are two possibilities:

  -Standard mode (any partition is deleted and new operating system installed)
  -Expert mode (you can choose which partition you want to install the operating system)

  It is very important that there is no repair option. This option you can find on the CD-ROM of Microsoft Windows XP.
  There are few opportunities to try to repair your operating system. You can try to replace the faulty system file. Copy the files from another PC system and replace it. I must also tell you that there is no 100% guarantee that it will be successful.
  You can also try to provide the Microsoft Windows XP CD-ROM (full version). You may have some success with the repair option.
  Next option is to use the Windows Recovery Console. I assume that you have access to a second computer. Click here for instructions that can help you.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314058
  This article describes the features and limitations of the Windows Recovery Console. If your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer does not start correctly or if it does not start, you can use the Windows Recovery Console to help you recover your system software.

• Satellite 2430-402: 437 Application error during recovery

  Right, I've got a Toshiba Satellite 2430-402 (purchased new) for at least 3 years. I have formated several times before and re-loaded windows back on with no problems until now.

  The problem only started two days ago, when I noticed my CD drive was not recognized. So I decided to format etc, came out the disk Recovery Utility that came only with the computer to install everything, and it will not go beyond 12%. I'm greeted by * Application error 437
  Can not read the file.

  I left really stuck and cannot load anything. I fdisc / formatted /spinrite / kill the hard disk, just in case where there is something nasty on here and can still get nowhere. This is the first time I'm really stuck.

  This could be the engraver of CD or would it be the hard drive or basically the computer is nakered. I inspected the recovery disk, and they are all clean!

  Or is it because I made an update of the bios (you mind, it was weeks ago)

  Everyone please

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  to my knowledge, the Ghost image files are placed on the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  That's why I studied on the ghosts manufacturing Web site.
  It s Symantec and found this information site:

  HM http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/Ghost.nsf/0/14579a4173691f8988256abf005f4f8f?OpenDocument&SEG= & lg = fr & ct = us

  According to this page this problem seems to be due to starting the computer incorrectly when you use Ghost with GoBack on the computer.
  This problem may also occur when you use a brand or type of CD that works well with your CD - R or CD - RW device. In this case, Windows or DOS might be able to read the information on the CD that other applications cannot.

• CD recovery for Satellite 2430-S256

  I tried to use my "recovery and applications/drivers CD" for Satellite 2430 Series as original factory system.

  He showed a lot of error messages and blocked the process. But I already had the opportunity before doing this and it worked perfectly.

  I already looked on the Toshiba site and it is said that thay have severe restrictions in lieu of this CD. They do only service if I send my laptop and be charged in more than 100 dollars.

  I have the damaged (?) CD and I would like to send it to replace. Is not possible, or someone have this CD to post for me?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello Gustavo

  If your recovery is damaged CD service partner can order a new one for you. As far as I know it doesn't cost a lot of money.

  Can you please send me the link where you based this information on the payment of $ 100?

  It is also possible that your HARD drive is damaged. If there is any possibility try to install the full version of Microsoft. On this way, you can check if the procedure of the facilities can be finished properly.

• Lost recovery CD and Satellite 2430 201 joined...

  I have laptop of TOSHIBA Satellite 2430 201

  (1) I ve lost Windows recovery CD ROM How can I get another one back.

  (2) is this type of laptop have integrated Wireless LAN?

  (3) is to have this type of computer laptop built-in mic?

  You can order your CD from recovery of your local Toshiba authorized provider only, given that each cell has its own recovery CD. Maybe you could find someone with the same model and ask him. As for the other questions, I don't know--not even look it up in Google I found this model. This characteristic model what? I mean, what CPU, etc. Perhaps you could search the net and find something about it.

• Modular Bay for a satellite 2430

  Hello!

  I bought a satellite 2430 201 recently, but there is unfortunately no drive CD or DVD, a floppy drive. So I contacted Toshiba and they told me to look at their online shop or contact a service partner.
  In the online shop Toshiba DVD writer cost 279 euros!
  Looking at the price for a standard slim (about 75 euros) DVD burner I have decided to buy one in a store and stopped an empty modular Bay for a DVD player. This n t easy at all, but eventually I found a service partner in Graz, who could order the modular Bay for me. I am sorry to say that the price for an empty modular Bay is at 75 euros.

  If anyone knows where I can get a modular Bay for less than 75 euros? One of opportunity or self build...
  Thank you

  In your case, you Agere driver for your wireless card. Please visit the site of producer and I'm sure you'll find a good driver for the MPC13A-20/R wireless card.

• Need drivers for Satellite 2430 703

  After poor performance and other problems with my laptop, I thought to update some drivers. But where are they?

  On the support pages Toshiba Satellite 2430 703 is not found (in 'Archives' or any other category). Apparently, it never existed. I wonder can I use drivers. That is, can those of the "Satellite 2430" (without-703) I use?

  I have need a driver for the graphics card and one for the touch pad. Thanks for your help!

  The 703 is part of the family of 2430, so you can use these drivers :)

• Satellite 2430-101: external USB 2.0 HARD drive problem

  I have Toshiba satellite 2430-101. Recently I bought external 40 GB hard drive. When I connected to my toshiba usb hub, it is said that it exceeds the limit of the power, and I need to detach the external hard drive. When I read these last questions, someone suggested to uncheck the power supply to the usb hub options, but he says always the same. They are someone to help me.

  Hello

  Well, in my opinion, this problem occurs if the USB port can't provide enough power.
  In this case, that the USB hub must be connect to external power.

• Satellite 2430 - 402 has a life of its own

  I got my satellite 2430 402 for about 2 years and it was absolutely perfect, but recently, I have noticed a problem that worsens every day. every few minutes the arrow mode icon turns green (without me touching the Fn key) and I lost control of the computer... strange writing appears... assistants open and close in front of me and im totally helpless that the keyboard stops working during the event... it continues for less than a minute and then everything goes back to normal for a minute or 2 then the same thing happens again...

  I'm about to start typing a thesis for my job and there is no way I can do if the problem persists... incidentally although it happens at any time it can be made worse if I try to type something, even a password to connect to a Web site... I had to use a friends computer to send sos message... can someone help please... Thank you

  There could be different reasons for this... HARDWARE or SOFTWARE!

  First, you need to check if this occurs only when you are running windows.

  SOFTWARE:

  If so,.
  (1) a malware (trojan, keylogger etc.) can be installed on your laptop, or

  (2) a bad driver could be the reason. Have you recently joined a keyboard or usb mouse to your computer? It may have installed an incompatible driver or wrong.

  Start your computer and keep it in the PRE-START-UP phase (enter the BIOS SETUP and wait to see whether this will occure here yet).

  MATERIAL:

  If so, I guess your keyboard film contacts are dirty. You will need to remove the keyboard, open the movie-lock and clean the contacts with alcohol or contact spray. If you are not familiar with this procedure, please consult the technical support.

• Satellite 2430: CD/DVD drive does not work - i/o error

  Hello all Toshiba people.i have recently bought a Toshiba Satellite 2430 for a very good price. One thing the carpet * a DVD - ram Uj - 810 drive does not work when I put in any type of cd or dvd, I get this error
  F:\ is not accessible.
  The request could not be performed because of an i/o error.

  I talked to my local computer Wizz and does everything that he suggested to the letter and still the same problem. He suggested updating the bios drivers and the only way to do that is on a disk drive that she cannot take the an or a CD or dvd drive is not working. Can you please help me!

  Begging you a lot
  Michael Borger

  In my view BIOS update will not change.
  I assume that the reader has worked in the past with the same BIOS version
  It is a drive hardware problem or some registry keys are corrupt.

  I think that it s a hardware malfunction may be a matter of lenses.
  But try this;
  Remove the drive from Device Manager and shut the laptop computer. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again. Then you can check the functionality.

  Otherwise, you can remove the disk from the laptop, and then start the laptop without the drive. Then stop the laptop, put the drive in the notebook and start over.
  The firmware should again loads.

  But if these procedures help t, I don t see it differently as for replace the drive
