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

What's the best way to get Wireless on Satellite 2410-504?

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
Bye

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

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.

Satellite Pro 4220 wont start

Ive got a problem with my old toshiba laptop it is an 4220 satellite pro pentium III. I have a problem with the power i guess, the computer wont start. If i press the power on button, with the adapter in the socket power nothing happens. Now the green led for power is on but the orange led is flashing on and of, but the laptop wont start. What must i do, buy a new accu? a new adapter or is internally wrong with the laptop?

I dont know in which country you live but please check the ASP list.

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

Satellite Pro L850 wont start up when USB3 cable to Dynadock is connected

Hello,
I have a new L850 and Dynadock ( PA3927A-1PRP). The L850 wont start up when the USB 3 is connected and the screen flashes gray then black. If I remove the USB3 then the L850 will start up and if I then reinsert the cable it continues to start and work fine.
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled the Dynadock viewer drivers from the Toshiba website.
Perhaps I have the cables in the wrong slots? It is connected as per the Dynadock quick start guide.
I would appreciate some assistance.
Thanks - Mark

Toshiba Satellite L675D-S7104 wont start up

Looking for help! I was having problems with IE not responding so decided to upgrade to internet explorer 9 during process I needed to know if I had a 64 or 32 bit. So I minimized to check on my start menu and all my icons were gone. After pulling up internet again I looked around to find solutions someone suggested turning it off and manually starting in safe mode. Usually nothing comes up. Occasionally I get Windows boot manager which says "windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause." It wants me to insert my windows installation disc which I do not have. I once got an error message saying "An Error has occurred error:F3-F100-0003" Most of the time it is just a black screen with a blinking cursor dot. Interestingly after commandeering my sons computer I find the internet a lot faster than it was on my new Toshiba. My security was up and running and said there were no problems however my computer had been slow and not responding for a while a lot of times it wouldn't turn off so I had to put it to sleep now it sleeps eternally. Please help my son wants his computer back and I think I want mine back.

Let's just try a basic system reset and see if this helps bring your system back. Power off your system, unplug everything including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold down the power on button for 30 seconds, replace battery and AC, power on, at the Toshiba logo press the 'F2' key to enter BIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, then try to boot into Windows again.
Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

Satellite L675D-S7106 Wont start!

I was using the laptop earlier today and everything was working fine. I came back to use it a few hours later and it won't turn on. The cd drive still opens. You can hear it start to turn on and then it stops within about 3 seconds. I've tried unplugging with the battery out and pressing the power button and nothing happens. Help please!

Let's try a proper system reset one more time, and see if this brings your system back. Power off the laptop, unplug everything including the AC from the unit, remove the battery, press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds, replace the battery and AC, power on, if you see the Toshiba logo, press the 'F2' key to enter the BIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, and then try to boot into Windows.
If this doesn't work, try all the other methods here:

Satellite A200-1ZF wont start - flashing power led

Hi,
today my Satellite A200-1ZF laptop wouldn't start, instead my power led blinks orange-orange-blue-orange-orange -blue and so on and so on.
The HDD led turns blues when I turn the computer on and seems to work fine (I can hear the normal running sound from the HDD).
I tried removing the RAM module to see if there's a fault in one of the modules, no help. I tried removing the battery and running it only on ac power, also no help.
Anyone got any idea?

Hi
Im a little bit confused.
If I understand you right your notebook starts but display is black or how to understand you?

Satellite Pro L40 wont start

When i turn on my Satellite Pro L40 it shows me a screen asking me to start windows repair or start windows normally.
When choosing either option it leads me back to the same screen.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Many thanks

Hi Will
For me it looks like the installed OS was muddled up for non apparent reason
If you are not able to boot in the Windows XP OS and if the repair option doesnt help to boot in the safe mode I dont see any other possibility as to boot from the Toshiba recovery CD and to reinstall the operating system again!
But note; the booting from the recovery CD will format the whole HDD and you will lose all files stored on the HDD. ?
This is a drastic procedure but in my eyes its the only one which could helps to solve this issue.

Satellite x205-sli1 wont start

Help. My x205-sli1 was working fine, and i just went to start it up and all i get is 3 beeps, the screen doesnt turn on and nothing else works. what is wrong with it?

Satellite X205-SLi1 Specifications
Satellite X205-SLi1 Downloads
First, there is no mention of the Toshiba Recovery procedures in the X205 Series User's Guide. So, it's safe to assume that this unit came out just before Toshiba started consistently putting recovery partitions on their HDDs. As a result, the F: partition on C: drive is unlikely to be the recovery partition, especially as the recovery partition would never have received a drive letter, and would not appear as an NTFS partition inside Windows.
You can still order a set of recovery disks though. As a number of Vista 32bit drivers and utilities will be retained after the upgrade, this is still worthwhile. See the bottom of this list to see the Vista 32bit drivers & utilities that are retained in Win7.
Next, given the model's specs, this unit can only handle a maximum of 4GB of RAM. So, there is essentially no benefit to installing Win7 64bit. Plus, you would have to do a clean/custom install to go from Vista 32bit to Win7 64bit, as you cannot use the upgrade method in this scenario. So, I would only upgrade to Win7 32bit. In fact, if you check the model's downloads page, you'll note there's a more complete set of drivers & utilities for Win7 32bit, than there is for the 64bit edition.
Regardless, you want to thorougly read, and follow the directions below, and use the software installer:

Please let us know how it turns out. Good luck.

Satellite P875-105 wont start

I bought this laptop P875-105 three weeks ago. Today i was working on it and all of a sudden it shut down. Now i want to start it but it doesnt do anything. the battery is full so that couldnt be the problem, any suggestions?

Hi
Try this:
Remove battery, disconnect the AC adaptor
Now press and hold the power button 30 sec long.
Put the battery and ac adaptor into the notebook and press power button once again.
Does it power up?
If not, visit your dealer and ask for a new notebook or get in contact with Toshiba service in your country.
Good luck
