• Re: Memory Upgrade Satellite 2450-101

  I have a portable Satellite 2450-101 aging. (Pentium 4 2.66 GHZ XP Home)
  It is perfectly sufficient for my needs.

  I would like to install more memory (currently with 2 x 512 MB modules)...
  However the manual States that the maximum memory it can handle is 1 GB.

  I would like to install two 1 GB modules to upgrade to 2 GB.

  Is it possible to do through Bios updates or am I stuck to 1 GB... ??

  Thank you in advance.

  > However the manual States that the maximum memory it can handle is 1 GB. I would like to install two 1 GB modules to upgrade to 2 GB.

  If the manual says that you can upgrade the memory up to 1 GB of RAM then you will not be able to use 2 x 1 GB of RAM and would not be able to upgrade to 2 GB.

• Re: upgrade memory for Satellite 2450-101

  I would upgrade ram memory up to the maximum limit of 1 GB.
  I found these memory, Kingston:

  KTT3311/512 512 MB DDR SODIMM

  KTT3614/512 512 MB DDR SODIMM

  Could someone tell me these memory well works with Satellite 2450-101?

  Thank you

  Yes, the Satellite S2450 supports max 1 GB.

  The laptop needs RAM PC2100, but you can also buy PC2700 or PC3200. It's down in a compatible way.
  So I think you could buy Kingston RAM. I've had RAM Kingston too and never had any problems with it.

• Satellite 2450-101 after the 60 GB HARD drive upgrade, made only to see 30 GB

  Hello world

  I'm new to this forum. I own a 2450-101, a little old man, real it´s, but still a very nice PC. Harman-Kardon louspeakers make it very useful for music.

  I would switch the HD, so I installed a new 60 GB (the maximum taken in charge, I said) and used the recovery CD.

  Everything worked perfectly, but it seems that only 30 GB can be seen by Windows. I heard, that I might need to update the BIOS. Mine is version 1.50.

  After a long search through sites Toshiba and the Inetrnet, I can only find updates the BIOS for the new models...

  only reference I've seen is on this page: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000000b07, but

  Yet once I don't find Bios for my model.
  Please any help would be really appreciated ;)

  Hello

  You are right. This laptop is a bit old, but very nice. It provides performance enough for someone in need of this laptop only for everyday use.

  As for you statement about 60 GB of HARD drive. Well, I m a bit confused.
  How did you check the size of the HARD drive and why you say that it recognize only 30 GB?
  How did you check that? And you are sure that you have installed and 60 GB HARD drive?

  I recommend to check the size in disk management!

  With regard to the BIOS;
  The BIOS for this laptop is on the Toshiba driver page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  There, you have to search in archive Archive Satellite Satellite 24xx Satellite 2450-101.
  As far as I know the BIOS 1.50 is available on the page!

• Satellite 2450-101 Mini PCI card please

  I have a Satellite 2450-101, which is longer under warranty. I upgraded the memory and noticed a mini-pci slot with two waiting for a card antenna cables. I need a g card (the 3300 looks like a good bet). The manual refers to a mini-pci slot and the CD from the laptop comes with Atheros drivers for the same... I am currently using a PCMCIA card but want to spend money with Toshiba to get a good onboard solution. I called Toshiba who say that he is not a slot in my laptop... Please please don't refer me to a partner because I've never actually talked to one yet. Honest answer please... can I mount a mini-pci card... is the 3300 OK, and how do I join the cables (if this is difficult, I won't)...
  Thank you

  Hello

  I found information that your device is ready for the Mini PCI Wireless card. As you know on the wireless card there are two connectors that are marked of PRINCIPAL and auxiliary normally a white cable goes to the ESSENTIAL and a black to the auxiliary voltage

  Sorry, but I can't tell you exactly what wireless card will be the best for you. In my opinion, you should contact partner in your country. I'm sure they can give you correct information, which is compatible with your device and how much it will cost.

  Good luck!

• Question about updating BIOS for Satellite 2450-101

  Hi, I want to update BIOS for my Satellite 2450-101 (model: PS245E-01TMY-IT). I downloaded the BIOS "bios - 20071008123347.zip" on Toshiba Europe site (see link below). Is this the right one for my PC?
  What do you propose to make a backup of the existing before installing the new?

  I want to make an extension of memory, but I'm not sure whether this is necessary. Do you reccoment to update the bios anyway?

  Thank you very much!

  BIOS

  Hello!

  Yes, it's the good BIOS because it s also for your model (Satellite 2450-101).

  A BIOS update is an upgrade of RAM is not necessary. The BIOS has nothing to do with the maximum RAM capacity.
  Satellite 2450-101 supports up to 1 GB, type PC2100 DDR - RAM.

• HARD drive password prompt - Satellite 2450-101

  Hello everyone!...

  I am a new user and would like to know if anyone has any suggestions of how I can fix my computer problem?

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite 2450-101 that I recently brought a new battery and the adapter because due to the machine is not used for several months, everything was fine for a few hours!... the screen became 'blue' and I restarted the program, but then, I proceeded to get an error message (forgive me, because I don't remember exactly what he said!) who said something about Realteck? and Ethernet cable error and then prompted me to insert system disk?

  Unfortunately after pressing enter the same message kept in view, finally I decided to used the drive recovery to re - start the computer but all I get now is the ' screen of welcome-followed by long pause, followed by a black screen that ask to ceiling "HDD password?

  Does anyone know if it is a fixable problem?

  Hello

  Looks like your HARD drive is locked using a HARD drive password.
  I put t know why this password is necessary but if you don t know this password, then your HARD drive is no longer available and you will need to buy a new one.

  Eventually it s simply a matter of HARD drive and, therefore, the laptop crashed before this HARD drive password appeared so I think that you need a new HARD drive.

  Good bye

• Satellite 2450-101 - memory - expansion which is the maximum?

  I want to upgrade the RAM on my Satellite 2450-101. Some say (especially Crucial) Web sites, I can have a maximum of 2 GB of RAM, but others (mainly Kingston) give a 1 GB maximum. Can I extend the RAM to 2 GB?
  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  Since intel mobile chipset is in your machine, you can only change it to 1024 MB (1 GB) RAM maximum. All other information is certainly not true. :)

• Required display Vista driver - Satellite 2450-101

  Hello

  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. :)

  Good luck!

• Satellite 2450-101 How do wirleless?

  I have the 2450-101.
  If I dial my BT wireless home network, what should I do for this computer?
  Material is involved or just to download a driver?

  Sorry to be so thick - I am not a technophile.

  You want to connect to the WLan router wireless?

  Well, as far as I know this laptop is an oldie and the WLan card was optional.
  This means that not all Satellite 2450-101 were equipped with the internal WLan card

  If your laptop was not equipped with the WLan card, then I recommend to use an external solution such as WLan USB stick which supports the WLan standard even as your WLan router.

• 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!

• How to remove the password of BIOS on Satellite 2450-101?

  I have a Satellite 2450-101 and it seems that my HARD drive is already damaged. I would like to boot from the CD/DVD drive, but it won't start? It has a power on password too and I want to remove it but I can not enter or it does not penetrate into the BIOS settings?

  What can I do? Any suggestions?

  Am I entitled? You want to remove the BIOS password?
  Unfortunately, something like this is not possible! If you n t the BIOS password you can not delete it! Only the ASP in your country could do this!

  So if you want to remove it, contact the authorized service provider!

  But you want to boot from the CD! Am I wrong? Why you t n try to use the F12 key to get the start menu?
  After mobile power press F12 and you should be able to choose the STRANGE as a source of start-up! But the CD/DVD must be inserted before using this option.

  Try this!
