Satellite 2450 - free display

My screen on my laptop has come loose.
Anyone know how I can fix this problem? Thank you

Hello Deborah,.

I presume that the lid of your laptop does not stay in the open position normal, whereby the friction hinges have worn and must be replaced. There is no way to tighten up other than replacing hinges.

Unfortunately, this should be done by an ASP because it won't be easy to buy new hinges. :(

Kind regards

  • Satellite 2450 - the display hinges loose

    The screen on my Satellite 2450 lost its resistance on the hinges, its either fully open or fully closed and will not be held in position.

    The speakers or the other side of the hinge have lifted a bit, I can get in and repair the damage?

    Hello

    I'm sure that it is possible to fix it. But I think you need new hinges.
    These parts, you can order from Toshiba service partner in your country.
    But without any experience, it is not very easy to replace.
    I recommend you ask guys to service for advice and guidance.
    Do not remove anything, if you n? t know how to do this.

  • Satellite 2450-101: need last display driver

    Satellite 2450-101 with geforce4 420go - last display driver? Posted the: 7 May 06 18:12

    My laptop does not work the games 'Fear' or 'Call of cthulhu.
    The errors seem to relate to the display (fear gives an empty window, even if the sound is running, then crashes. Cthulhu says that it cannot find a suitable resolution).

    The latest display driver I can find is dated 36,48 Date 02/12/2003 version.
    It looks pretty old. Is no later versions available?

    I also see that there is an update of the BIOS for my laptop - is - this may have an impact on the problem of game?

    Anyone who manages to run these games on a similar specification?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The problem is that the graphics drivers from Toshiba are distinguished as the graphics of origin for example nVidia drivers.
    Original graphics drivers are designed for desktop use and you may not use these drivers, as they can damage the graphics chip for laptop. Graphics drivers from Toshiba support thermal protection and control the performance of the graphics card.

    As far as I know that this unit has been delivered with a NVidia GeForce4 420Go 32 MB graphics card. You can try to check out the other laptops with the same graphics card and try to use this driver.
    I also found a few topics on the omega drivers. It seems that this could be a good solution, but if you use other drivers, so you can do it at your own risk!

    I have upgraded to Vista and need drivers video/display for Satellite 2450-101. Is there a place to support Vista?

    Hello

    I hope you know how old your laptop model is and also older models are not supported in Vista. This means that you will not find any driver on the Toshiba download page.

    You can google a little and try to find somewhere driver if they are available. Appliance graphics card is NVidia GeForce4 420Go. Maybe you will be lucky and find. :)

    Hello

    You may also reinstall Win XP following this:
    Copy the folder i386 disk Win XP on the HARD drive.
    Then start the unit by using a bootable floppy disk and navigate to the i386 folder that you copied on the HARD disk.
    Here, you could use the winnt.exe command who would start the Windows INSTALLATION.
    Then simply follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

  • 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?

  • How to replace the hard drive internal on Satellite 2450?

    Hello!
    Last month, after a BSOD displayed (I don't have the code of error message, unfortunately) my laptop decided to not work again.
    At the start, he reached the start menu and then displays a black screen... no message, no auto restart... nothing. Just a weird noise coming from the hard drive (like a scratched cd).

    I tried to format the drive, but without success. After choosing the boot source, trying to read the cd and the black screen appears again, with no message. I checked if the Bay of cd is not working properly and it is. (I think)
    So I replaced the HDD in my satellite 2450. A new toshiba ide 2.5 30 GB hard drive. But when I install a new one, the system does not recognize.

    The control panel of the Bios says that "no hard disk" is available, and I can not change this option. (locked)
    With the Windows Xp cd in the drive, the Setup program runs all properly until the 'select drive' format menu, witch says that no hard drive is recognized (with a new drive hard in).

    I don't really know what to do!
    Is something missing in this process?

    Thank you for the patience

    Hello

    The laptop did not recognize a new HARD drive. Which is one reason why Win XP cannot follow the additional installation steps

    I can't say exactly why the HARD drive is not recognized, but the 30 GB IDE should be ok.
    I remember one of my friends had a similar problem with the new HARD drive.
    Some hard drives have a jumper (3.5 HARD drive and 2.5 IDE HARD drive too)
    Maybe you should check if a rider has been set to the right position (slave?).

    Check it otherwise that I recommend to test with another new HARD drive

    In the worst case the disc HARD controller might be faulty, but it would mean replacing a motherboard

  • Files corrupt on Satellite 2450

    Hello world
    about a year on a toshiba laptop - info below - my wife has complained that its files in Word 2003 have been mysteriously transformed into unreadable garble.
    Text became symbols... or, a translation box appears, but there is no way to return this mutilated in its original file. Most of his recorded pictures have also disappeared. (The files remained, but each page was empty when opening). So I wanted to put this on this forum and see exactly what the Devil's going on.
    I had my own problems with the laptop. I transferred more than 2100 JPEGs of my drive hard iomega and created a disc using nero. Everything was fine until I saw the disc on another dvd player - info files were black, some pictures would be partially visible, and the disk drive had trouble reading the cd. When I plugged in my Iomega hard drive in our old workhorse 98se and used an older version of nero, I got the cd and it played perfectly in 2 separate dvd players.

    Hello

    seems that the hard drive or RAM is defective. I don't know, but if I were you I exchanged these components as your problem doesn't sound like a software problem...
    First try to replace the memory modules because they sometimes are the main reason for this error. I would test the modules with "SuperPi" before replacing the RAM. The same should be done with the hard disk, depending on the manufacturer of the HARD drive, I would check the Web site of the manufacturers for some specific tools of the reader to check if the drive works properly.

  • Where is the support of memory on Satellite 2450-SP295

    I have install memory expansion

    Please, I beg you. Spoke Spanish. Thank you.

    First all of the questions and comments in this forum from Toshiba are displayed in English
    and I assume that all users can match only in English.

    Now to your question:
    The Satellite 2450-SP295 is not known to me, but I found some info on the Satellite 2450 - S203.
    Both units show very similar and should have the locations of memory under the keyboard.

    If you want to upgrade the memory you have first of all remove the keyboard.
    The keyboard is fixed by 2 screws that are placed under the thin cover above the keyboard.

  • Satellite 2450-201: impossible to format SD card 4 GB card

    Hello

    IA´m an owner of Satellite 2450-201 and I have a big problem.
    I just bought a 4 GB SD memory card and Nice, it adapts to the side slot on my laptop.

    This is the first time using the memory card, so a needs-to-format window appears when I try to access.

    The window has the right information: 3.78 GB, Fat32,...

    I click 'OK' and informs the Windows (XP SP2): impossible to complete format (here is Portuguese, then it is translated into English)

    If the correct size is informed, 3.78 GB, why windows can't format it?

    My laptop is virus and spyware free (only 23 spots in the running and supervision), I have SP2, Bios (most recent) 1.50, SD my controller drivers is up to date (the last and the only one that was released in 2003).

    Also tried third party "Panasonic SDFormatter 2.0". He reports the (physical) unit or the mem SD stick is not compatible with the program. And the same effect occurs: the Sd device lost the nice icon and I need to remove/insert the SD card to see again the same story.

    Help me please, friends.

    Hello

    It of very strange that you re possible to see the plugin SD card. Some people suggested that this SD card supports only 256MB, 512 MB cards and more with no MMC support.

    I put t know if you have a format utility Toshiba SD card installed on the laptop, but on many notebooks of utility such Tosh is preinstalled and could be used for formatting of the card.

    According to some poster in this forum the Portege M400 utility format could handle 2 GB, but not sure about 4 GB SD cards.
    If possible, you can try to install this utility on your laptop, but you know you don't have much chance that it works.

    I think that in this case only an external SD card reader will help you.

  • Satellite 2450-201: cannot use TV option after the new installation of the OS

    Hello

    I have a laptop toshiba satellite 2450-201.
    I've always had the TV OUT works well with my TV, use the right cable SVIDEO.
    I was able to watch divx movies in my TV using my computer.

    I had to format the laptop and installed windows XP again.
    After that, I can't use more TV-OUT option, so that the image of the laptop could be seen on television, I've always had.
    After that I updated display drivers, but the problem remains.

    Can someone help me?
    Thank you

    Hello

    How do you reinstall the operating system? Have you used the recovery CD?
    Usually after the reinstallation of the operating system from the recovery CD, everything should work properly.
    It is important that you can switch to the TV. In this case, you can use FN + F5.
    If it's not working so I guess that for display devices hotkey utility works or was not installed. Well, the alternative is to pass on the TV via the graphic properties. The TV option, you should find somewhere in the advanced options.

    However, check it and check if you have installed all the drivers.

    There is no exchange of free display.  You will pay is the AppleCare + fresh incident (if you bought AC +), or the elimination of guaranteed replacement costs / costs of replacing the screen.  Your best bet would be to visit the Apple store with a genius bar appointment.

  • Satellite 2450-S203 - installed XP SP1 of recovery CD - cannot update

    The hard drive on my Satellite 2450 S203 has not then I replaced and installed XP from the recovery CD. Everything's fine. I now have a PC running XP SP1.

    I tried the update of XP start > all progtrams > Windows update but it failed, the updated software I used was not compatible with the update site or something similar.

    I found a site of Microsoft, who said I had to install SP1a and then put to SP1a update to SP3. I downloaded the SP1a installation tool and it seemed to do things, and I'm guessing that SP1a installed OK.

    When I go to start > all programs > Windows update, the update starts OK but after a few moments, I get an error message on the Microsoft Update Server does not.

    * Question 1: *-anyone have any ideas what I should try next?

    * Question 2: * fact Toshiba have nowhere where I can download a more current version of XP - SP2 or SP3 say - so that I can eventuially happen to SP3 without SP1?

    Any thoughts are welcome!

    > Question 1: someone has any good ideas what I should try next?

    Win XP SP1 is part of SP2. So, you can download the SP2 package from Microsoft or any other Windows pages page just google
    So after installing SP2, you can follow with SP3.

    Before you install SP3, you will need to install SP2 first

    > Question 2: Toshiba has nowhere where I can download a more current version of XP - SP2 or SP3 say - so that I can eventuially happen to SP3 without SP1?

    On the pages of Toshiba, you can download only the drivers and Toshiba tools
    Windows Service Packs are Microsoft products, and you should check the Microsoft pages for this.

    thanx

    Do you have a recovery CD?
    This disc is necessary if you want to restore the laptop back to factory settings.

    If you n t have this disc then you will need to use a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP would be the best) for the installation of the OS.

    Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page
    Because this device is an oldie, the drivers have been moved to the archives (in the product type click on archive).
