  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.

  In my opinion it s is not the problem of the graphics driver. But if you want, you can try to update. You can find the latest driver on the Toshiba site.

• Missing on the Satellite 2430 201

  Hello

  The Satellite laptop power adapter broke, we got a new. But the adapter has been too long, so the connector in the broken laptop and a component behind it.
  I fixed the AC connector in Notepad, but still broken component is important, because its still does not.

  Photo: http://dennisdieckmann.de.funpic.de/s2430.jpg

  I would like to know if it is a cutting / fuse or resistance.
  If it's just a cut / fuse I can bypass it for testing purposes.

  Thank you for the help

  Sorry for my bad English.

  Hey Donald,.

  I think that your photo isn't clear enough. Maybe you can post a larger picture, for example.

  In the worst case there s something wrong with the motherboard and you need to replace it. If it s, then you should look on eBay for a second hand motherboard. That would be the cheapest solution I think.

• Satellite 2430-201 starts and the black screen

  Hello!

  My good old, we no longer works! I don't know what the problem is! When I try to start, I have no Bootsequence on my desk! I don't see anything! I tried to change the battery of the Bios, the RAM, free HARD drive starting... only what I get is the coolingnoise and a glance!
  (Windows XP)

  welcomes the best

  Looks like a hardware problem

  Try this workaround: remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait one hour and then reconnect the battery and the AC adapter. Now, try to restart the laptop. Maybe it works.

  Otherwise it could be the motherboard or a malfunction of the CPU, but this can be checked from an authorized service provider or you buy a new laptop with full guarantee.

• 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

  I have a MPC13A-20/R internal WiFi card in my satellite 2430-201 and downloaded and installed the driver updated (wlesslan-xp-7620390) of toshiba.
  The material is recognized, but do not configure.
  Windows xp gives me the article standard Vegetto 871122 to read, which is hopelessly vague.
  I have service pack 2 is installed as well as all the other updates available, and my BIOS version is V1.3

  is what do you think?

  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.

• Question about DVD watching on Satellite 2450-201

  Hi, I have a satellite 2450-201.
  and I'm sure that when I had it first I could watch DVDs, s without having to start, only now, when I try this the computer starts completely before it will play, now perhap it did this before but I didn't take so long to start, because there was not much on it to slow it down, what I want to know is : is it possible or just my imagination, if not how to reset it please.
  Thank you in antisipation
  Pete

  Hi Pete,.

  You don't say what operating system you have. To watch DVDs without having to start you would need to have Windows installed MCE. He would use a small area of your hard drive to store the necessary software to allow you to play DVDs without having to start your main operating system.

  If you have XP (Home or Pro), then it is more likely that your startup process now takes longer than before so that you can start your DVD software. In this case check for unnecessary tasks or processes by using the Task Manager and I would also recommend spyware scanning, removing everything you find and run Defragmenter and disk cleanup.

• 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.

• 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.

• Satellite L750-201 - processor upgrade

  Hello

  In the last two weeks, I bought a brand new Satellite L750-201 (PSK6ME-026004EN) of PC World, the United Kingdom, which has an i3 - 380 M 2.53 Ghz with front side bus 1 066 Mhz.

  Compared to my Toshiba laptop 6 year, it is lightning fast and I am generally very happy with it, but after the purchase, I was appalled to see that the CPU is a first generation Intel and not 2nd generation like most others on sale.

  The i3 - 380 M is a trademark of Passmark CPU of 2337 and so the 6 GB of RAM is sufficient for my current needs, especially now I installed Ubuntu Linux in dual boot with Windows 7.

  In the future if I I want to upgrade the processor and almost wish I had held out for an i5.

  Question: What are my options for upgrading the processor? Specifications of the motherboard obviously comes into play here.

  I would like a lot of techniques of information that you can give me because I am a software engineer with some knowledge/experience of the material.

  Thank you in advance.

  > Question: what are my options for upgrading the processor? Specifications of the motherboard obviously comes into play here.

  Upgrading the CPU may be possible, but you must use the CPU that is supported by the chipset of the motherboard.

  But there would still be a question about the BIOS, no one can say that if the new processor would be proccessed by BIOS and in the worst cases the laptop would not stable after upgrading from CPU

• Satellite 5100-201-size Limitation of HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 5100-201 P4 - M 1.6 Ghz with 30 GB IDE HDD and 1024 MB of RAM. I use my 'old' Satellite only for music (the largest sound found on laptops!) but my HARD drive got a little weak.

  So my question is if there is no limit on the size of HARD drive for this laptop. I would buy an IDE 120 GB or 160 GB HDD at 5400 RPM and 8 MB Cache. If this is not possible, I can also take the 80 GB of HDD (another puts it on say works), but liked better!

  Thanks for your help!

  Greetings,
  Fab

  Hey Buddy,

  I think that the maximum capacity of the HARD drive would be 120 GB because the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that only the hard disks up to 128 GB usable 120 GB would be the maximum. 5400 RPM and 8 MB cache are ok.

  By the way: it of Nice to read that you are always so pleased with old Satellite 5200 :)

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

  Hello everyone,
  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.
  Concerning
  Sri

  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.

  Good bye
