• 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.

  Hello

  You are right. There is no update available. At the moment where the device was on the market, the card 2 GB SD was not available.

  This device is very similar with 5200 Satellite and you can try to use the SD card of her driver. It should be version 2. 0 2. I really don? t know if this can help, but you can try it.

  Otherwise, I really don? t know what you can do about it.

• Satellite 2450-201: update driver DVD - IDE #1 error

  Hello

  I need help to upgrade the dvd for my laptop model Satellite 2450-201 with internal dvd writer.

  I have LG and I got this message at startup: error IDE #1. Any suspicion that I speak with Dep. error tech and he said that the problem of compatible driver. I think that good performance with the system.

  If I update the bios from 1.3 to 1.5 it will solve this problem?
  Or do I need another brand name model to replace the old DVD with DVD - RW?

  Hello

  As someone from the tech, adj. suggested that this error message appears because the car is not compatible.
  The disc has a bad master/slave setting and so the BIOS can not recognize the drive.
  To resolve this problem, you must upgrade the laptop with compatible player.

  I found a compatible Toshiba PA3255U-1DV1 DVD-RAM drive. But this isn't a burner.
  I suggest to contact Toshiba service partner in your country to control the compatible player and supported. So you can be sure that you will get a good player.

• Satellite 2450-201: how to increase the video memory from 32 to 64 MB?

  Can anyone help? I looked in the Bios and the advanced settings screen, and found nothing to increase the size of the video memory.
  Any other way to find on my Satellite 2450-201

  Hello

  As far as I know that the unit has been delivered with the NVidia GeForce4 420Go 32 MB graphics card. This isn't a memory sheared graphics card.
  The card supports the own memory and not a function of memory sheared.
  In this case, you cannot change the value of memory.

• Satellite 2450-201: USB 1.1 instead of 2.0 controller

  I formatted the hard drive on my Satellite 2450-201 and loaded Windows XP SP2. I loaded all the drivers from the disk utilities and everything works well except the USB ports work only in 1.1 instead of 2. There is a yellow exclamation point in device on USB controller Manager. I tried a Toshiba download driver but there is nothing available.
  Can someone suggest a soloution to this problem.

  John

  Hi John

  As far as I know that there is no driver for USB controller. When you install the chipset driver all USB ports should be recognized correctly. Exclamation mark in Device Manager is an indication that the device is not configured correctly. Try to remove the controller and reboot the device. After this check again in Device Manager.

  Some external device is connected to the unit by USB ports?

• Need new hinges to Satellite 2450-201

  Are the hinges on the - 101 previous model the same i.e. P000368300 and P000368310 and if so, are still available. If not, can anyone advise please.
  Any info gratefully received.

  Hello

  I think you should get in touch with a local ASP (partner).
  The ASP can help you order the right parts.

  Because this laptop is an oldie, I doubt that you get these pieces from an online retailer
  However, google may provide you with some offers if you are looking for unique part numbers

  In any case, all the possible parts could be ordered in service partner as I said above, for me, it looks like an easier way to get these parts.

• How to upgrade my 256 MB RAM on the Satellite 2450-201?

  How to upgrade my 256 MB RAM on my Toshiba Satellite 2450 201? Where is the RAM located on it?

  AFAIK, you can upgrade to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) memory
  You use PC2100 DDR - RAM memory modules.
  The memory must be located under the keyboard. Remove the keyboard, to first remove the thin cover above the keyboard and remove the 2 screws that are placed under the thin cover.

  But if you don't have any experience you shouldn't t do. In this case, contact the service in your country
