How to enable WLAN on Satellite 2410-504?

Hello,
please could you help me I am a little bewildered. I would like to wifi enable my laptop. It is a Toshiba Satellite s2410-504. If you know what this laptops short name is that would really help me. I don think it has a centrino chip so I think I will need to wi-fi enable it. I have researched it on the web but I am confused by terms like cardbus. Does my laptop have a cardbus? If not, how will I wi-fi enable my laptop?
Any suggestions for a competitively priced product (is it a chip or what?)
Thanks.

If the unit can be upgraded with the minPCI WLan card so mostly the slot for a WLan card is placed at the bottom of the unit.
Im not 100% sure if its WLan ready or not.
However, if its possible to upgrade the notebook with the minPCI WLan card so you can order this form the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country.
If its not possible to upgrade it so I would recommend switching to the external solution like a USB WLan stick
Such sticks are not very expensive and very easy to use

    Hi Guys,
    I hope someone can help...I have a Satellite 2410-504 which is nearly 4 years old pretty good spec for time. I thought it had wireless built in...it has on/off switch and LED light, however I cannot find it in device manager...on removing undercover for wireless it is empty....I have bought a Belkin Cable router for NTL cable....what would be the best option to make it wireless or is it already...could someone advise.

    Hi
    As far as I know the wireless card is optional on this unit. This means that you can upgrade your notebook with the miniPCI wireless card which you can put into the wireless slot.
    You can use these cards:
    Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card (2,4GHz, 802.11a/b) PA3273U-1MPC
    Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card (2,4GHz, 802.11b) PA3212U-1MPC

  • NEC ND-6500A DVD+-R/RW drive in Satellite 2410-504?

    Can anyone tell me if an NEC ND-6500A DVD+-R/RW drive will work in my Satellite 2410-504 notebook? I have tried fitting one supplied new but the BIOS did not recognise it and gave an IDE #1 error message on boot up. I don't know yet if this was a faulty drive or if the drive is just not compatible. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  • What series is the Satellite 2410-504

    I'm trying to flash the Bios on this laptop but don't know what series or model it is.
    It says S2410-504 under it.

    Hi
    The S2410-504 means the Satellite 2410-504 and this notebook seems to belong to the PS241E series.
    The Toshiba European page should provide some drivers and also the BIOS to this series.
    I found it in the *Archive Satellite Archive Satellite 24xx Satellite 2410-504 PS241E*
    Check it out dude

  • Does Satellite 2410-504 support USB boot?

    I own a very old Toshiba Satellite 2410-504, which came out and was bought in 2001/02.
    Am curious whether anyone knows it's possible to USB boot in this?
    I have USB key but can't boot from it.
    Maybe it doesn't support USB 2.0 etc.
    Am not sure.

    This is very old notebook model
    From my experience such old notebook series did not support booting from USB flash memory stick.
    Some of the series supported booting from USB FFD drive (its a drive which supported diskette. Maybe you can remember ;-) )
    However, Im quite sure the BIOS would not support the booting from USB flash memory stick

  • Satellite 2410-504 wont start

    Hi All
    I have a sick toshiba Satellite 2410-504 laptop.
    When booting up it says:-
    "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
    Please re-install a copy of the above file."
    Ive put the Windows CD in the CD drive and I've gone into the BIOS and set the CD-ROM as the first Priority but it fails to boot from CD and just continues (what appears) to boot from the HD.
    When I changed the BOIS priority it came up with a
    PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
    So after reading this error message I've check the HD is installed and disabled the net card in the BIOS but still wont boot and reverts to the error message as above.
    Any other ideas? Is the HD broke?
    Why wont it boot from CD?

    Hi
    It could be possible that CD/DVD drive cannot read the inserted disk and therefore tries to boot from the HDD.
    Therefore I would recommend checking another bootable disk like Linux live CD or just simply another bootable Windows disk.
    If the disk is OK, then the CD/DVD drive might be affected. I had an similar problem in the past where the CD/DVD drive could not read the inserted disk. In my case the laser lens was dirty. I cleaned it using cotton wool tip and alcohol and finally could start from the inserted disk

  • Will a dual core cpu fit im my Satellite 2410-504

    HI Im thinking of upgrading my cpu to dual core I have a Satellite S2410-504 socket 478 mPGA , im want to put a Intel core duo sl9bn inside. Will this work?
    any help please

    A Core Duo would be a bit faster but wont make a huge difference.
    I had a look at the online brochures, it looks like you can install a 2.2GHz Pentium 4 in that model, which should make a noticeable difference in speed.
    There is no way a Core Duo will work with the Chipset in the 2410. There is too much of a generation gap. The Pentium M came out after the P4, which I doubt would work either.
    When a new CPU comes out, it is released alongside a new Chipset chip. The new Chipset supports new features of the CPU, along with power management changes, and the update to DDR2.
    Basically, if you want to use a Core Duo CPU, you need a mainboard with something like an i965 chipset (Northbridge) that has support for the Core Duo architecture. You cannot upgrade the chipset on a mainboard.

    Hi hersi,
    Yes, thats the important model number.
    According the Toshiba website your model has Intel Core2Duo T6600 CPU. So I have checked the Intel page directly and T6600 CPU doesnt support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). You can check this yourself:

  • How to replace CMOS battery on Satellite A30-504?

    i have big problems with my satellite A30-504...it does'nt see the HDD on boot, my only solution so far was to press the power button for many times.
    My HDD is ok so i think the problem is with the cmos battery but i dont know how to find out what type it is and how to replace it.
    (ps. sorry my english, i'm not an english speaker)

    Hi Adrian
    CMOS battery is always placed an awkward position and to exchange the battery the unit must be disassembled. If you didnt done this before please dont do this alone. A small mistake and you can damage plastic cover of the unit.
    I recommend you to contact service and let them do this for you. It costs a little bit but you will be sure it will be done on professional way. When the unit is disassembled it can also be cleaned from the dust.
    Back to HDD: how you know HDD is not defective?

  • Satellite 2410-303 hangs when CPU cache level 2 was enabled

    I have Satellite 2410-303 Bios version 1.40 and when i enable CPU cache level 2 the laptop dose not work and still hang.
    So now I only enable CPU cache level 1 and disable cache level 2 so the laptop run slowly.

    Hi
    Well, what to say, the Level 2 cache is an external CPU memory.
    Possibly there is something wrong with the CPU? Who knows
    Did you try to update the BIOS? Check if its possible and if the newer BIOS version is available.
    Sorry but I cannot suggest any other solutions because for me it looks like an hardware problem and in such case the ASP help is needed.
    Best regards

  • How to disable microphones and configure WLAN on Satellite A210-11b?

    At first please help me with this microphone in my notebook becuse I want put in output channel. Please help me. I cant speak on TEAM SPEAK 2.

    Hi mate,
    I suppose that you have Windows Vista installed. If thats right then go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Recording -> choose either "FrontlineIn" or "Frontmic" (which is available in this moment) and dont forget to connect your headset before.
    Regarding WLAN, you should check this article: http://helpdesk.uafortsmith.edu/Guides/VistaWirelessSetup

  • Satellite 2410: Question about different ways to use BlueTooth

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble finding somewhere to purchase a bluetooth module for my Toshiba Satellite 2410 - the handbook says I can, and I know there is space on the underside of the laptop to insert it.
    I just can't seem to find one to buy - does anybody know if they actually exist, as I am beginning to think not??!...or is the cheapest way to bluetooth enable the laptop to buy a USB adaptor?
    If so, will a cheap one affect the download rate when using the Internet?? And what is the difference between an SD card and a USB bluetooth adaptor?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Well, with the detailed name I mean the full notebook number Satellite 2410-xxx.
    However, you ask what a difference between Wireless Lan and Bluetooth.
    The WLan is technology which allows you using or/and to create a LAN but without the cables.
    ;) The Wlan routers for example allow you to connect to the internet without the cable connection.
    Bluetooth technology:
    If device like (mobile phones, printer, etc) support BT technology and you notebook uses also a BT so it's possible to connect these devices without cables. The devices should be placed in the available range.
    I would recommend searching a little bit in the internet for more information about Wlan and Bluetooth
