Satellite 2430-301 uses battery plugged

Hello!
Sometimes, when executing programs from CPU, my battery begins to discharge up to zero, while the Toshiba Energy Manager even acknowledges that the laptop is plugged. After leaving the program (game), the doesn´t of the battery starts to charge, but the laptop won´t, turn off because it gets the energy cable s.
What harm there?
Thanks for the help!

Hi Hendrik,

It is possible that your power adapter begins to fail and cannot provide enough power for your laptop to meet any demand particularly heavy (such as using heavy graphics games). This will result in the power electronics from your laptop to battery power.

Sometimes, disconnect and reconnect the power cord will return things to normal.

Kind regards

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Satellite L450D - 11 X, battery plugged in but not supported.

    My Satellite L450D - 11 X (fairly new) is plugged in, but the battery won't charge and the battery light is orange. Life flows or increases when using it plugged. I tried updating the BIOS but don't know if I did this correctly. Thanks for any help in advance.

    You can try the following:

    1 reinsert the battery
    2 unplug the computer from the power adapter and turn it on. Let the computer battery power until the computer turns off, indicating that the battery is fully discharged.

    If it still doesn't load, it can be the malfunction of the accumulator. In this case, you must contact the Asp (SAV) to replace. They will do it for free as you say it's always new.

    I bought a refurb L750 of Curry / PCWorld back in October 2012.

    I tried to restart, unplug / reconnect, etc..

    I took it in less than an hour of purchase and the guy looked and "fixed".
    He said he looked on the forums of Toshiba and I saw there was a driver problem that caused this problem.

  • Satellite 2430-402: which HARD drive I can use for an upgrade

    Hello

    I have a 2430-402 satellite and the hard drive is full. Can someone tell me the greatest, he will take care and what kind do I buy? (Probably not PATA or SATA but I should look into IDE)

    Thank you

    Jez

    Hello

    You are right. To my knowledge, the Satellite 2430 was delivered with an improved interface to drive HARD IDE (ATA-5). Therefore, we must look for IDE hard disks.

    I'm not sure about Mr. size of HARD drive max. I think that Toshiba provides official information what size HARD drive max can be used. I presume to test

    Laptop has been delivered with a40GB HARD disk. Am I wrong?
    Hmm in my opinion the 60GB HDD should run. You might also try a 80 GB HARD drive if it s compatible.
    But I really very skeptical about larger sizes.

  • How to use on the Satellite 2430-101 S-Video port?

    Hi all!

    I don't know if I'm in the right section... I have a second hand S Satellite 2430-101 and use Microsoft Windows XP. Unfortunately I can't use the s-video output, because I do not know, how should be done. Quite simply, do not attach the s-video cable to the TV worked. What do I need to enable something in Notepad? Thank you in advance

    Hello

    As Nicky said if the unit is pre-installed with recovery CD, you can use the FN + F5 key combination and switch to the external display or TV. Check also display properties > settings > advanced > nView. Control the clone and device settings option. Under device settings, you can find the device selection option.

  • Re: Satellite A500 (PSAR9E) battery - plugged in, does not support

    Yesterday, I noticed that my battery is at 74% - plugged in but not charging. Laptop not working ok, no problem.
    Before this problem occurred, I started it upward, he worked for 10 minutes on the battery without connected charger.

    Then it just stops what it self. I thought that maybe the battery was low so I plugged it on. After a while, I noticed that it does not load, I have it plugged into power-it shuts down as there is no current battery. Tried to remove the battery, plugged into the cable from the Jack, put back them, the battery cable, it starts and still nothing... Today it of about 72% and still does not support... Laptop is 2 years old. Battery has been working great until now.

    Please help if you know the solution, thank you!

    What to say?

    Start the laptop without battery and when the windows are fully charged put the battery in place.
    I imagine that the battery will be recognized correctly. Is the same situation when this happens?

    It will be interesting to know how it works with a new battery. At the moment, we can say more about it. The problem is battery or maybe electronic power?

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here.

  • Satellite S50-B-12Z: battery life cycle Option does not appear in the eco utility

    Hello everyone.

    I am facing a strange problem. The eco utility allows to work ok with win 10 on my S50-B-12Z satellite and I used the eco charging battery I've run mainly my laptop plugged in.

    At some point, I need to do a system restore. I have re-installed the 10 victory and also the latest version of the eco utility downloaded from the Toshiba site. The problem is that when I open the utility eco, the choice of "battery life cycle", where you can select the eco reload or not, seems no more! So I find myself with the battery to 80% connected but does not support.

    I already tried to uninstall and reinstall the utility or install an earlier version of it.

    Is there something I could do in order the choice of "battery life cycle" to reappear or to cancel the State of charge of eco and leave my battery to charge again 100%?

    Thank you

    I have the same problem with my P50 - A satellite. Battery-life cycle does not appear in the new eco Win 10 utility installed. Version is: 3.0.0.0006. Older versions do not work, I tried also.

    More than 80% of maximum load, not 100% .

    I hope someone has a suggestion. To 80% battery life is too short

    I'm hoping I have a battery problem or my phone is dead.
    I wonder I was able to use my L10 Pro of the Satellite with the removed battery and the power cable plugged into the wall?

    My laptop has stopped feeding upwards, the charger still has his light, but no power seems to be put into the machine.
    If it works without battery in?

    see you soon

    Of course, you can use your laptop with AC power only.

  • 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 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.
