• Satellite A500: update BIOS V1.50 is fan noise problem reappears

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46719&start=0&TSTART=0
  

  Yesterday I updated the BIOS v1.50, and the sound of the fan returned.
  I do not recommend this upgrade if you have had the problem of fan noise.
  

  I have downgrade BIOS v1.30 and fan noise problem is solved again.
  I know that people have problems to get the downgrade to BIOS, so I describe the process in this thread:

  Thanks mate for sharing this with us

  But perhaps you could use the v1.5 BIOS and could reduce or reduce the activity of module cooling in Vista/Win7 power management settings.
  It would be interesting to check it out

  In any case thank you for this info

• Satellite 2450 S203: registration issue

  I am the owner of a Satellite 2450 S203 and I can't find it on the recording of "my computer"? any idea?

  Hello

  You can try other toshiba sites around the world. Start with toshiba.com, I don't know where you are, but for example, I am from Turkey and my satellite SA30-303 does not appear in the U.S. site. This can be the same kind of problem. Some models of satellite are not sold in some countries I think.

  In addition, yet once I'm not sure of your model of satellite, but you can see the discontinued models.

  Kind regards

• Satellite 2450 s203, "Key Blind" vs Alt right

  Hello!
  I have a problem with my Satellite 2450 s203 keyboard. The sequence of keys on my keyboard is (right): bar space, "blind button", Ins, Del, RightAlt.
  "Blind touch" is the key with any letter/sign on them. When you type, you will get "------" ("' | ' with pressed Shift"). A special touch for "-" ("" | "") exist on the keyboard as well (with the signs- and | clearly marked on it)!

  To get specific special characters for the Polish language I frequently do RightAlt Key, which is too far to the right, to hit him. Usually the faucets of my finger on the delete key instead of Alt right, and the effect of this makes me nervous ;-)

  The question is: is there any software provided for the mapping of this key"blind"? What it is?
  And finally: it is possible to map the Alt key on the right the key "blind"?

  I found a resolution to http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/input/w2kscan-map.mspx, but I do not know what scan code generate this key "blind."

  Thank you in advance for your help!

• Satellite 2450 S203: SMART HDD can fail - HARD drive change?

  Hello

  My Satellite 2450 S203 seems to run slow extremeley (20 minutes to start windows!). I get a warning in the Manager of Toshiba hard disk may fail soon.

  I guess I should do a new hard drive? Is it possible to fix it? If not, what type of replacement hard drive should get?

  Thank you
  Andreas

  Hello Andreas

  If the HARD drive has a mechanical problem it aren't there has not much to do and you should buy a new HARD drive. But before this I recommend you to do the clean install of OS and see how the laptop runs. After the long period of use and many facilities that the OS will be slower and slower, but 20 minutes is definitely too long for the start-up procedure.

  According to specifications specification must be 40 GB of HARD drive. I'm sure that for the upgrade, you can use 60 GB HARD drive. On this HARD drive replacement is quite simple and you can do it alone. If you n t do this please write again.

• Is the western digital 120 GB HDD compatible with Satellite 2450 S203 WD1200VE?

  My hard drive crashed on my laptop and now blue screen whenever I turn it on, when it tries to start. Finally it will start but then I can't turn off again without going through the same process.

  I tried to replace the original 40 GB hard drive model number MK4021GAS with another model of disk toshiba MK4026GAX to see he has an IDE #0 error on startup which I think means that it is not compatible, as it works in a caddy without any problem. So I would check the compatibility of a hard drive, I'm interested.

  I've been watching 120 GB WD1200VE drive and I was wondering if it's compatible? If someone could give me any assistance on this would be welcome!

  Thank you

  Hello

  The IDE #0 error because the HARD disk has been configured for the wrong master/slave/c-salt settings.
  Please check the position of the rider on your old HDD and set the same on the new one (MK4026GAX)
  Looking for a new 120 GB WD1200VE? Well, the Satellite 2450 S203 is a little bit older and I'm afraid the BIOS will not support this large size of disk HARD m.

  I would recommend so check the MK4026GAX settings before you buy a new HARD drive device.

• 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.

• Upgrading RAM on the Satellite 2450 S203

  Recently upgraded from 2 x 256 to 2 x 512 MB memory RAM. Put new memory in the laptop could not start. Replaced by the original memory still fails to start.

  All solutions?

  Hello

  Try switching the modules in the memory locations. Sometimes, this might help.
  If possible, try to access the BIOS and to set default settings.

  But if the laptop will not start in the original and compatible memory modules, then you damage something during the memory upgrade procedure.

  Just for info:
  Is that you must use the PC2700 200 pin SODIMM (333 Mhz) DDR modules. These modules are compatible

• Toshiba satellite 2450 s203 does not recognize the atheros wireless network adapter

  Hello!

  I have a toshiba satellite 2450 s203 and a network card wireless atheros integrated - somewhere in the laptop - there.

  However, I am running win xp pro and the Device Manager IS NOT to FIND THE MAP!

  He finds the ethernet card and a 1394 network adapter!

  But not the wireless network card!

  Any ideas? I downloaded the drivers from the card wireless site but without success!

  What should I do?

  Thank you!

  Hello
  The WiFi card is an option for this model for example. It is not included in all machines. You must purchase the correct module for W - lan to work.

  If the card is installed in the machine, you should see a yellow esclamation mark (!) or "unknown device" If you uninstalled hw.

• On Satellite P850 - 30Q fan noise

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite P850 - 30Q a week ago and overall, I love the machine, nice design, good performance, great speakers... BUT:

  The FAN NOISE is driving me crazy? I had a lot of laptops different in my life, but never experienced something like this. Normally I don't notice not the fan, but this laptop I noticed that the fan.

  At idle, I can hear the HARD drive - I can live with that.
  Fire use, desk and surf the internet and as the fan lights up now and then to 53% and really loud! -Its disturbing when I'm trying to study?
  When I play games the fan is 53% permanently, and after like 5-15 min, to happen to + 80%, what is really strong? -I can live with the fan when I play games, but not when I study or use it for use of the lamp in the train or the school.

  Am I the only one to go through this?

  If there is no resolution, I will return the product to the store. Its just sad when I like the rest and despite the fan Im happy on this issue.

  Hope you can help.

  > great but when I play games it rattles

  Have you noticed the usual fan noise or noise appears as something wrong with ball bearing cooling fan would be?

  It s nothing unusual as fans of cooling would turn faster everything!
  While gaming, the GPU and the CPU produce a lot of heat. This increases the temperature and therefore the propellers rotate faster. Here's how it works!

  But if the fans create an unusual sound, then that would mean that the cooling module may be defective and THIS should be verified by technicians is why would I wait not for any solution, but IF it's a hardware problem, the solution is just a replacement of parts.

  On my Toshiba Satellite S2450 S203 media controls do not work you had no idea what's wrong?

  This means that they have suddenly stopped working? One last thing: you didn't describe when it does not work (no OS not running or running). As far as I know, they work even when OS is not started.

• Dell studio 1558 fan noise problem

  Hello dell.

  I wonder how many people got prob with studio dell 1558, just google and found most of them (all) having prolem with the dell studio 1558 fan noise.

  What happens in my case:

  The fan noise was ok before a few weeks ago, and he started 2-3 weeks back. aaftre fans of 20-30 sec noise suddenly and during idle sound Inc. is not normal/quiet a bit different than usual.

  The fan noise is really annoying and it constantly happens not even a minute, it stops.

  So in my case I think that it may be hardware fan prob because I wasn't this prob when I bought this system may be fan is going to jam in a near future?

  It's my system config:

  Studio 1558:

  : Processor Core i3 M350 2.27 Ghz processor

  RAM: 4 GB

  Gfx card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470

  HARD DRIVE: 500 GB

  Backlit keyboard

  Slot load CD/DVD player

  P.S.: My CD/DVD drive and HARD drive recently prob SO dell replaced both.

  Thank you

  Today engineer came to my house and the replacced he fan + heatsink. Thermal paste is already on it I guess, it has not applied separately.

  Fan runs smoothly.

  Failure: in fact the outer part of the radiator is responsible for this when the engineer came out the part and he hit an outside party who is also visible (Manager) of air is broken.

  It was broken when an engineer trying to clean the fan lol.

  I've also attached the image of the broken part. Image is not good but always visible
