Satellite 2450-101: video slow

Hi!
I can see my nvidia in slow mode. But i don't configure this mode.
- Drivers OK!
- I have 512MB RAM. I use 256MB and nothing. I use the other and the same.
- In the BIOS, the default... but... the same.
- In Windows XP and Linux (Knoppix 5.1)... the same.
- In LiveCD Knoppix 5.1 in USB DVD... the same.
- In a film the video is slow, the audio not slow.
- In test, in other system comparative, my P4 2600 lost and P2 win to me. less 100MHz in R/W.
What happend? hdd? nvidia in mainboard?
Not noise hear NOW but i hear anything in the right (KL?).
HELP PLEASE?
and thanks.

Hi there,
you should check if you have all codecs installed which is needed by your system to play movies properly.
I suggest you to recover your system, install the latest nvidia drivers from these sites:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
http://www.omegadrivers.net/
and the latest codec pack from here:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm
after installing all these stuff give a little feedback if the problem persists..
Cheers

DVD drive failure at Satellite 2450-101

Hi again guys...
I have another problem with my old Toshiba Satellite 2450-101 laptop which I hope you can help me with.
The original DVD-rom drive - a Teac DW-224E - went 'off the radar' a couple of times about a year ago and would only re-appear in My Computer after a re-boot but it would then quickly disappear again.
It was puzzling as the drive was still listed in Device Manager as working properly.
It would then take a full re-install to get it back again when the process would start all over again.
Now during the boot up process a message appears at the top of the screen saying 'Eide error'..
I bought a new brown-box replacement DVD-RW dual layer drive from PC World- a Sony IA2604H - and installed it but it is exactly the same but this time it is quoted in the Device Manager as a 'SCSI CD-rom device'....which it most certainly isn't.
In both cases the Drives are completely dead and will not even eject the trays.
Needless to say this is driving me nuts.
Can you suggest anything?
With Thanks again..
JB

Can you boot from bootable CD's?
If yes, then try removing the upperfilters and lowerfilters:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=314060
If you cannot boot from CD's, then either:
1) The ODD connector or another component on the mainboard is faulty/loose.
2) The original Teac ODD is faulty, and the new Sony is not compatible (has incorrect Master/Slave settings)

Replacing harddisk for Satellite 2450-101

hi, my laptop harddisk has broken down and I need a replacement harddisk for my aging *Satellite 2450-101* urgently, but I can not find from my mannual and other source the model my laptop support.
I thought it is a *standard internal 2.5" IDE* (and thinking to buy a _Western Digital 250GB 2.5" Hard Drive IDE 5400rpm 8MB Cache - OEM,_ model: _WD Scorpio WD2500BEVE - 250 GB - ATA-100_ ), but I am not certain.
Would anyone know? Please help. Many thanks!

Thank you guys!! Appriciate your helps. Afterall I tried the traditional way today, try it out!
I order from ebuyer the above mentioned harddisk last night, and replaced my broken harddisk with the new one this morning, then run the two recovery disk that came with my laptop, things has gone well. Except that I had no option of partioning the harddisk at the beginning of the process. After a little fiddling with the Computer Manager, my new harddisk is now in a duo partition: ~30GB and ~200GB, which is Okay with me; 30GB is enough for system files, while the other 200GB will keep my data separate. I was suprised that the whole 250GB works fine, at first I was only expecting a reduced disk space leaving the rest wasted, I am happy it all went well.
Also I upgraded my RAM to 1GB from 512MB, which make a significant positive difference in term of system response and speed. I would recommend anyone with an aging Satellite and little RAM to increase its memory, since now aday OS and programs take up alot of memory, this simple upgrade could possibly leave your Satellite runing well for another few years.
Well, now I am back on track!! Thanks guys.

HDD Password prompt - Satellite 2450-101

Hello everyone!..
I am a new user and would like to know if any one has any suggestions of how I can fix my computer problem?
I have a Toshiba Satellite 2450-101 laptop which i recently brought a new battery and adapter for due to the machine not being used for several months,everything was fine for a few hours!...the screen went 'blue' and I restarted programe,however I then proceeded to get an error message (forgive me as I don't remember exactly what it said!)that said something about Realteck? and Ethernet cable error and then prompted me to insert system disk?
Unfortunately after pressing enter the same message kept on being displayed,eventually I decided to used the recovery disc's to re-boot the computer but all I get now is the 'Welcome Screen-followed by a long pause,followed by a black screen which ask's for "Built in HDD Password?
Does anyone know if this is a fixable problem?
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!!
I

Hi
It looks like your HDD is locked using an HDD password.
I dont know why this password is required but if you dont know such password then your HDD is not more accessible and you will have to buy a new one.
Possibly its a simply HDD issue and therefore the notebook crashed before this HDD password has appeared therefore I think you need a new HDD.
Bye

Satellite 2450 -101 Broken Hinge - Disassembly guide required

Hi does anyone know where I can get hold of a disassembly guide to replace my broken hinge? I have the part but want to make sure I strip it down correctly. Any help gratefully received.

Hi
I would also not recommend removing and opening the notebook by yourself if you have no enough experience. You could damage some parts instead of repairing ;)
Every notebook technician could do this job for some bucks. so asks someone in your area.
By the way; I found an interesting website how replacing Satellite 2435 LCD screen. This notebook is similar to Sat 2450.
Maybe its useful:

Satellite 2450-101: Wireless Card not found

Hello: I seem to be unable to make my internal wireless card working on this model. After reading few postings, i am not even sure if my model has a wireless card, altough I was told it does and reading manuals and simply observing the laptop, it seems so.
Can anyone confirm if this model (bought in Spain) has wireless card and how to set it up please? The little light next to the switch is dark, I have tried all possible in terms driver setup etc.
Thanks
Hynek

Hello
This unit is WiFi ready and please check in device manager if the wireless card is listed there. You can find it under network adapters.
Usually all notebook models with WiFi card have a WiFi label on the bottom side. Check it.

Upgrading HDD to 80GB on Satellite 2450-101

Hello,
Is it possible to upgrade the above mentioned model with the Toshiba MK8032GAX a 80GB HDD?
If not is will it be possible after upgrading the BIOS version ?
All information welcome.
Conradus

Hmm, the problem is that Toshiba does not provide any official information about the max compatible HDD sizes. I didnt find anything on the Toshiba page.
In my knowledge the HDD with 30GB, 40GB or 60GB size will work 100% but Im not sure about the 80GB HDD.
I think you should simply test it and if you have more details please post it again.
Bye

Satellite L20-101: Question about memory modules mixing PC2-4300 and PC2-4200

Hello
I have Toshiba Satellite L20-101. It has onboard 512MB RAM (PC2-4300). Today I added another RAM module but this new module is PC2-4200. Is there anything wrong doing this? Both modules are DDR2 and 533MHz and 512MB.

Hi Pawel,
In principle there is no problem with mixing RAM modules of slightly different types but normally the total RAM will only run at the speed of the slower module. If your notebook recognises the correct amount of RAM from both sticks then there will ne no problem.
regards,

Satellite 2450 HDD upgrade

Hello all,
after reading a bit about the issues related to uprading HDD on laptops, I write to know if anybody has experience of doing so on a Satellite 2450 model (-101), which came with a 30Gb HD (MK3021GAS).
I'd wish to install a 80GB HD (like MK8025GAS), anybody can give me an advice on which HD model would be better to use? Behind BIOS possible limitations, I've noticed a different interface specification (e.g. this one has ATA-6, while my current one has DMA/ATA-100, and I'm not sure to know the meaning of this...).
Thanks a lot in advance,
Alberto.

Hi
I have investigated a little bit and I have found a information that unit supports only the 30GB, 40GB and 80GB HDDs.
HDD2181B 30GB
HHD2182B 40GB
HDD2171B 40GB
HDD2183B 60GB
HDD2184B 60GB
The HDD supports 100 MAX Ultra DMA mode
Hope this will help you a little bit
regards

No smart Paolo, i dont know about smart but now this is second time i tell you, its not the same question it's not about the same driver even.
Read carefuly and you'll see.
It doesnt seem you can help people so good, so plz if you can't help and HAVE NOT knowledge and are not good at PC-solution then it's better to not post at all.... Because if i have followed your help maybe my laptop now would be destroyed, since you said i had wrong drivers for my Graphic Card, i was close to follow your instructions and to mess up and maybe even destroy by uninstalling and installing drivers, because Graphics are senestive now , but i am glad i did not follow your Instructions Paolo30.
*Anyone that know about this issue ? where to get latest drivers for Mobile Intel (R) 45 Express Chipset Series Processor to DRAM Controller - 2A40 ?*

CPU upgrade on Satellite L30-101

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101. I've upgraded the RAM successfully to 2GB (2x 1GB) but I'm finding it incredibly hard to get information on processor replacements.
The laptop has the latest BIOS on it (3.10-WIN - 19/02/08) but when trying to find information regarding whats in it I'm hitting brick walls. Firstly the site > http://www.toshiba-tro.de/biosinfo/ < doesn't have my laptop on it,
Product Type: Notebook
Family: Satellite
Product Series: Satellite L Series
Model: ? unknown
Short Model No: ? unknown
I did hope I could stick an Intel Duo in but with the ATI chipset, I'm pretty sure it wont work but again without knowing whats within BIOS, compatible.. I'm lost. The only processor I can find which may work, same package, FSB, socket is an Intel Core Solo Processor T1350 which kicks out 1.86 GHz, not a massive difference and I'm sure it can't be the only replacement option.
Could someone and staff please help me with getting hold of BIOS info and compatible processors for my laptop. The current Intel Celeron M Processor 410 kicking out 1.46 GHz isn't good enough for Vista (cert on laptop) and basic multi tasking. Its lagging way too much even after a good tune up, ram upgrade, HD upgrade to 7200RPM. I'm in need of a processor upgrade but as mention finding it incredibly hard to obtain information of which would be compatible.
Sincerely,
Gourcuff

Hello
In my opinion your attempt to replace CPU is wrong. Why? Satellite L30 is not designed to offer some fabulous performance and it is designed for everyday usage. Best evidence for this was the price. It was not so expensive.
Can you please tell us why do you want to have new CPU? Do you use some special software?
Back to CPU replacement. As you probably know mobile computers have limited upgrade options and it is related to RAM and HDD upgrade. It is definitely unprovided for CPU upgrade and it is not supported. Specific design, especially cooling system is designed for certain CPU.
Due to all this you will not be able to find any relevant info about CPU replacement.
Check please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

Memory problems on Satellite L30-101

I have a toshiba satellite l30-101 laptop and wanted to upgrade RAM, so i bought 2x 1GB sticks to put in it.
Now i couldnt find any 533mhz ones so i bought 2 667mhz after a spoke to a technical guy who said if i got 2 of same speed it would work fine.
Only it doesnt at all i can put one stick in and it runs fine with the 533mhz.
One i have in if i try and put both new sticks in it comes up with memory errors and I get the bsod which restarts my comp and would not allow me to run my games or other programs.
Is there anyway to make it so I can have both of the new sticks in as i really need the ram and dont want to buy diff ones.
I mean if I can get one to work other one should surely work right ?
please help im going mad trying to fix the damn thing

Hi
I think the memory speed has nothing to do with the BSOD!
In my opinion the BSOD appears due to the memory module malfunction!
Furthermore the L30-101 supports only the 533 Mhz FSB. In this case you will be not able to run the 667Mhz memory modules with full speed.
The modules will run only at 533Mhz!!!
So in my opinion you should replace the faulty module with a one which works fine!
Best regards

Since downloading OS X Yosemite I have been having issues with Netflix. Video slows down which causes the audio to go out of sync. Netflix plays ok on ipad which makes me think it's the software which is the issue. Has anyone else had this issue?

Since downloading OS X Yosemite I have been having issues with Netflix. Video slows down which causes the audio to go out of sync. Netflix plays ok on ipad which makes me think it's the software which is the issue. Has anyone else had this issue?

Try this:
Go to System Preferences - Bluetooth. Delete the keyboard from the list of devices by pressing the "-" button. Take the batteries out of the keyboard and reinsert them. In Bluetooth Preferences press the '+" button to add the new device. If the keyboard begins to pair, click the word "pair" and type in the passcode. Press return. The keyboard is now paired.
If the mouse is not pairing, try this: shut down the computer completely, unplug any USB mice, then turn off the power to the bluetooth mouse. ONce the computer starts up again, wait for the pop-up looking for a mouse. Turn on the power to the bluetooth mouse. It should work normally now.

Satellite 2450-201: Cannot format 4GB card in SD card slot

Hello,
I´m a Satellite 2450-201 owner and I have a big problem.
I just bought a 4GB SD memory card and nice, it fits on the side slot on my notebook.
It's 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 : 3.78Gb, Fat32, ...
I Click "OK" and the Windows (XP SP2) informs : cannot complete format (here is portuguese, so it's translated to english)
If the right size is informed , 3.78Gb, why the Windows cannot format ?
My notebook is spyware and virus free (just 23 tasks running and under control), I Have SP2, Bios 1.50 (newer), My SD controller drivers is up-to-date (the last and the only one was released in 2003).
Also tried third party "Panasonic SDFormatter 2.0". It's reporting the unit (hardware) or the mem stick SD is not compatible with the program. And the same effect happens : the Sd unit lost the nice icon and I need to remove/insert the SD to see the same story again.
Help me please, friends.

Hi
Its very strange that youre possible to see the SD card after plug-in. some people has suggested that this SD card slot supports only 256MB, 512MB cards and additionally with no MMC support.
I dont know if you have Toshiba SD card format utility installed on the laptop but on many Tosh notebooks such utility is preinstalled and could be used for the card formatting.
According to some posting in this forum the format utility of Portg M400 could handle the 2GB SD cards but not sure about 4GB.
If possible you could try to install this utility on your notebook but you know you have not big chances that this will work.
I think in such case only a external SD card reader will help you.
