Can I go by Satellite 2410-303 with 120 GB of HARD drive

Hello
I have a Satellite 2410-303 (acquired in 2002) with a 30Gb HD (MK3018GAS, 4200 RPM).

I want to upgrade this drive with a Toshiba one with 120 GB (MK1234GAX, 5400 RPM). These HDs have the same type of bus, so it should be no problem with that, but how do I know if the ability will be recognized by the BIOS, and if there is no heat problem?

Thank you for your response.

Laurent

Hello

The heat should t be a problem, but the size of the HARD drive. It s a really huge difference between 30 and 120 GB.
In my opinion, the BIOS will not recognize the HARD drive, but I can't say for sure
So I recommend that you test it HARD and please we report the results

Someone has updated the old 1700-400 Satellite with 80 GB HARD drive, and it works!
Maybe your 120 GB HARD drive will work also successfully crossed ;) finger

  • Upgrade to a Satellite 1805-514 with a CPU and HARD drive

    Hello

    Several years ago I bought the laptop mentioned above. Unfortunately, the laptop no longer starts because of a damaged hard drive.
    Now I'm looking for a replacement. My dealer offered me several hard disks with a capacity of 40 GB to 80 GB. 1805-514 does support large hard drives?

    In addition my dealer gave me a 1, 13ghz Pentium 3 mobile. Does make sense to replace a processor 1 Ghz Celeron with a 1, 13 Ghz P3?

    Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English

    Hello

    In my opinion, it makes no sense to upgrade the processor 1 GHz to 1.13 GHz to form
    The difference between these two processors is not high and you have no sensation of the increase in the performance of the laptop.

    I put t know compatible hard drives for Satellite 1805 but for Satellite 1800. But these two units are very similar.
    As far as I know, you can use the 10 GB, 15 GB, 20 GB and 30 GB.
    I think that the BIOS will not recognize the larger HARD drive.

    I have Toshiba Satellite 2410-303 and I want to upgrade the RAM.
    This work Satellite 2410-303 2 x 512 MB (1 GB max) DDR1 266 MHz (PC2100). Today is not easy to buy that RAM, and 1 GB is not.
    I think the BIOS update, but on the [main site | http://ce.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?LNG=20&service=CE&selC fulltext = 8 & selFamily = 192 & selSeries = 116 & selProduct 3 95 = & selShortMod = 200 & language = null & selOS = null & selTyp e = null & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = null & selectedLanguage = null & type = null & pag e = 1 & ID = 22031 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

    Maybe someone can help me and find out what effect update to give a new BIOS.

    Good bye

    Hello!

    Well buddy, new BIOS doesn t improve the maximum capacity of RAM so it s not necessary to update the BIOS.
    In addition, the Satellite 2410-303 supports up to 1 GB of RAM. If you already have the maximum RAM capacity.

    In your case I would update the BIOS only if you have some problems with the laptop. If you can find t a change log on the Toshiba site is not available.
    Last but not least never touch a running system. ;)

  • Satellite 2410-303: Question about software update and service in the northern part of Cyprus

    First of all, I have a Satellite 2410-303 and I hoped that I can update my toshiba but there is no my toshiba model name in the Download Center. It has 2410-303 in the Download Center and I install the update on my toshiba. This will damage my toshiba?

    Secondly, I recorded my toshiba. I can access my account, then I'll download center update but my toshiba model is not correct (Magnia 550 d isn't my toshiba). I do not have other updates. How can I solve this problem?

    Finally, studying at University of the Eastern Mediterranean in Northern Cyprus. I am waiting for this area, but I could not find any point of service. Is there any point of service in the northern part of Cyprus?

    Thank you very much for interested in my topic and your comments!

    The simple driver update will not damage your laptop but the incorrect BIOS.
    Anyway, Sam is right. The S in the first step means satellite. This is why you must use drivers for 2410-303. These are the correct drivers and they should work on the laptop.

    If you are looking for the right service partner I would say visiting this site:

    You will find a database with ASP together all over the world.

  • Satellite 2410-303: upgrade of posibilities

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 2410 303 and I want to increase the RAM from 256 MB to 1Gig and 30 at least 60Gig HARD drive.

    If I understand the user manual that the 2410 can be up to 512 MB (2x256Mb) but the retail sites of the State of the RAM up to 1 GB...

    Also, what size HARD drive can go up to and how to change it?

    Dean

    Hello

    If the site Web of the specification of the RAM up to 1 GB, you can install 1 GB of RAM in your model. See the attached link:

    HTTP://UK.COMPUTERS.TOSHIBA-EUROPE.COM/CGI-BIN/TOSHIBACSG/SELECTED_PRODUCT_OPTION.JSP?SERVICE=UK&PRODUCT_ID= 21051 & DISC_MODEL = 0

    To upgrade the HARD drive, it should be no problem. You can insert each HARD disk (2.5 (2,5")") in your model, no matter how big it is (must only be supported by the operating system).

    I have Satellite 2410-303 Bios version 1.40 and when I activate CPU level 2 cache dose of laptop not working still hang.
    So now, I have only to activate CPU level 1 cache and turn off level 2 cache if the laptop run slowly.

  • Satellite 2410-303-display flashing, update the BIOS

    HY!

    I am the owner of the Satellite 2410-303 series. Display does not work very well. I do not know it is because of drivers (even me, I installed the drivers by default) or maybe it's because the LCD screen. Maybe poor contact or something like that? I don't want to take my turn for the service center more because they don't know how to solve the problem. Only what they say is: «I'm sorry, but you have to buy a new...» »

    In speaking of the bios it is 1.20 in 2002. I want to download 1.40 (think it's most recent) but do not know where to download... Please help because this is my first tour & I want to revive his soul... THX.

    Hello

    I always thought that this forum is serious, but you try to make us laugh reading your ad.

    Sorry, but your comment about service is for me really ridiculous. Do you really think that all the issues can be fixed and nothing should be exchanged? I respect your opinion, but I think you're not qualified to talk about. Or maybe you're a technician material. If so, then I feel sorry for my comment.

    Anyway, if you have a display problem trying to connect to external monitor and see exactly what is happening. It will be interesting to know how starts flickering.

    Hello

    It of weird, is your CD the other disc drive? Have you tried to read your cd of restoration with another computer? If the same error occurs on another computer system, then the cd is probably defective.

    How is it you can't use more than 126 GB of a 1.5 TB with LabVIEW Real-time hard drive?
     
    It's only 8.3% of disk space!

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/E7E2F5657B6026358625750B007201A6?OpenDocument

    The national Instrument is reformat that you drive less than 126 GB or replace the drive with a less than this size.

    Please OR tell me you go fix your LabVIEW Real Time soon, and that we will not have to wait for LabVIEW RT 9.2.1 in 2011 for this one to fix.

    http://upload.wikimedia.org/Wikipedia/Commons/9/90/Hard_drive_capacity_over_time.svg

    Readers as high as 126 GB or more have been around since mid-2002.  It's about 7 years now and LabVIEW Real-time STILL cannot use greater than 126 GB drives!  Please OR.  Do something.

    We deserve the patches for older versions of LabVIEW RT.  What about updates to LabVIEW RT.  As 7.0.2 7.1.2 7.6.2, 8.0.2, 8.2.2, 8.6.2.

    We don't need new features or versions of LabVIEW RT as 9.0 until we have some of the bugs fixed in existing versions.

    Hello

    Start Windows Explorer, and then see if there is a drive letter assigned for access to the
    drive. If this is not the case, check if the disc is shown in disk management.

    1. Open Computer Management by clicking on the button start , by clicking on Control Panel, system and security, clicking Administrative Tools and then double-click computer management. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the left pane, under storage, click Disk Management.

    If there has made a right click option - assign a drive letter for you can use Windows
    Explorer to copy files.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite A210-171 - maximum capacity of a hard drive?

    What is the max HDD capacity satellite a210-171 may take?

    Hi turboiwan,

    As much I know satellite A210-171 has already interface SATA HARD drive so that you can install each HARD drive with this interface because the standard SATA are without capacity limits. This means that hard drives of 500 GB or more may work.

    For example, I upgraded my laptop with 500 GB Western Digital drive HARD and this worked great.
