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.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - cannot use Intel ProSet WLan tool with Win XP

    Hello! I have the same problem. I installed a XP SP3 and I can't use the * Fn + F8 * hotkey to activate the WLAN function on or off. Other Fn keys work correctly. The WiFi network also works, but it can be used by the built-in Windows. Intel ProSet or Atheros programs do not work. It seems "no wlan driver installed. The card is a Realtek 8187 B, downloaded the driver on Toshiba support original site. What can I do?

    > WLan also works, but it can be used by the built-in Windows. Intel ProSet or Atheros programs do not work
    If the WiFi works fine using the windows zero configuration then the WLan adapter is enabled and don t get the FN + F8.

    The fact is that your 3rd party WLan configuration tool doesn t work because your wireless network card is * Realtek! *

    Intel ProSet ONLY works with Intel WLan card and the Atheros Wlan configuration tool can be used ONLY if your have an Atheros Wlan card.

    You have Realtek so use windows own zero configuration WLan!

  • Can satellite 2430-301 - I switch the RAM to 2 GB

    Hello

    I am owner of a Toshiba Satellite 2430 301 with 512 MB of RAM. I thought I read that my laptop can support 1 GB only, but I would like to install 2GB.
    What is the cause of the restriction, if there are?

    In addition, DDR RAM-technology, wouldn't be good of DDR2 modules as well?
    (But then, given that the FSB has only 533 MHz, it would be useful anyway...) ?

    Thanks for your help in advance,

    M.

    Do you really think you can upgrade the RAM to 2 GB on this oldie?
    Forget it!

    I think you can use max 1 GB RAM (2 x 512 MB). More is not possible and there is a restriction.

    If you n t believe that check your type of chipset and compare the properties of chipset with the Intel page information.

    Welcome them

    By the way; you use PC2100 modules

  • After installing Windows 7 using MDT, Windows displays the message "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running.

    Hi all

    I worked on creating a better system for my business get an OS up-to-date with all the required software, settings, and drivers. I have previously using WDS as autonomous and just syspreping images and pushing them up until he became incoherent and corrupting of the parts of the image. I did a little surfing on the web and discovered that many computing professionals use MDT to produce images of quality with all the customization they need. So that's the problem.

    The image works fine. I'm able to customize the way in which I need to and get most of my successful deployed pilots (problem with trackpad drivers), but the error message I get when I try to run a windows update is "windows that update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running." After I received this message I check my services and it shows the update of Windows running service and long-term as well running services. Tried to restart as suggested and still no results. Undertook research for a possible fix and still nothing.

    Any help?

    It became quite a headache for me. Thank you guys

  • Satellite Pro 4320: cannot use PCMCIA card after update BIOS 2.70

    Hello!

    I'm using the Toshiba Satellite Pro 4320 (SP 4320). With the very old BIOS (first) version 1.0, the system has worked well on LINUX (Ubuntu) and Windows XP. So I found the update of the BIOS (latest version on the toshiba Web site). I did update the BIOS version 1.0 BIOS version 2.7.

    Now, I can't use any PCMCIA card.
    Everything works fine, but I can't use two PCMCIA slots.
    The cards will be recognized, but the system says that there is a resource conflict.
    (WLAN/WiFi adapter) PCMCIA cards worked very well with the old BIOS version 1.0, but now it does not work.

    Windows XP says: 'conflict resource' and Ubuntu/Linux said after typing dmesg: "pccard gives wrong answer, for example."

    Please, help me!

    Someone got an older version of BIOS?
    My idea is to 'downgrade' the BIOS BIOS version 1.0 or version 1.x.

    I have to downgrade the BIOS to at least 2. 6.

    Bye,.
    Martin

    Have you tried installing WXP again using Toshiba Recovery CD?
    I mean it's so old model of laptop and I can't imagine that Toshiba will offer this update of the BIOS so long if there is a serious problem with it.
