• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 fan noise problems

  Hi guys

  I had a Sat 2450 S203 since October 2003 and have recently noticed that whenever I run memory intensive programs fan noise levels are excessive and constant!

  If someone could Advisor on the replacement of the fan and know if I should do it myself. Please also comment on the impact on costs as well. Are there other ways around to get rid of this problem?

  Hello

  After this long period, your device must be cleaned properly. I guess that dust inside the unit don't allow adequate cooling and cooling fan must often runs and faster to cool the hardware components. It is not only specific for your device, but for all laptops.

  I'm sure that after cleaning, your device can take a deep breath and will work a lot better and calmer. I noticed the same thing with my Satellite P20. After cleaning the laptop runs very quiet and cooling fan just works sometimes. I'm very happy now.

• The media controls on my Satellite 2450 S203 do not work

  Hello

  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.

  Hello
  There are four buttons in the front part of my laptop for easy to use CD/DVD/MP3 (with the laptop closed), the so-called 'easy touches... "
  Anyone know how I can turn them on? I can't use them.

  Thank you

  Hello Mara,

  the easy keys are activated by software that control of Toshiba. You can download from http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
  Go to Support & downloads and then to the support home page. You could choose your laptop and settings. Then you can download Toshiba controls.

  If you have it installed, go to the Start Menu and Toshiba Console. In the Console, you have an icon called Toshiba buttons. There you can set the properties of your easy keys.

  Tip: You can install all the utilities toshiba, those that make the job easier! ;-)

• Partitions on my Satellite 2450 S203

  I have 2 stations on my drive hard 40Gbyte: C: and D:
  After several sets of chdsk and defragmatation a large part of the fragmented space stays on C:
  What can I do about it?

  Hello

  Well, if it of not possible to disable the white space between the blue fragmented spaces, this means that additional HARD disk defragmentation is not necessary to optimize performance. The defragmentation of the HARD drive is the function of Microsoft Windows and Toshiba has no influence on this event.

  Good bye

• 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.

• Upgrade memory of satellite S2450-S203

  Really appreciate it if you could help. I have a laptop perfect condition except it has only 512 MB of RAM. I tried to take part to upgrade, but I was not able to find where memory and I can't remove a plus. I took every screw out, I can find, but the back does not seem to come off. I updated PCs before but never laptops.

  I really don't want to have to pay a PC World a lot of "technician" of money to do something that takes 5 minutes.

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop Satellite 2450 s203 has no internal memory. This model of phone is expandable up to 1 GB. Memory locations are placed under the keyboard. As a first step, you must remove the brace of keyboard. The keyboard is fixed by 3 screws (places under this plastic brace). Remove the keyboard.

  On the left side it is insulation placed covering the memory locations. Press the two detergents. One end of the barrette memory will pop up.
  I hope this brief description.

  Good bye
