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.
Bye

  • Wireless card not found on startup.

    I recently got an iMac.  Sometimes when I start it up, I see a gray loading screen with a progress bar, and then it asks me to log in.  (There is only one account on the computer.)  When I log in, my wireless internet does not work.  I can go to the system preferences under network, and it will not let me turn on the wi-fi.  If I restart the computer, everything works just fine.  Also, if I start up the computer and it doesn't ask me to log in, the wireless works right away.  I recently upgraded to Lion, but since I just got the computer, I don't know if it's a Lion issue or not.

    OK, the next thing I'd try is a SMC and PRAM reset. If you haven't done these before please use the link below. Sometimes it takes 2-3x for the resets to work.

  • 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

  • Sim Card Not Found

    Each day at random times my phone goes out stating Sim card not found. i was hoping there was a fix in todays update but of course no update. i have been travelling so i cannot back up etc. I have done the reset, the hard reset, and plug into the electric cord, and eventually it does come back but i miss the calls, messages etc. which happen durring this period. What is the fix for this?

    If it is an iPhone 4 it is on the side. Bend a paper clip, insert it into the hole, push and the tray will come out. Pay attention to how the microsim is seated and be sure not to bend or damage the tray.

  • Why is my wireless network not found?

    I have just installed HP Deskjet F4500 on my PC. I want to connect to my wireless network connection but it keeps telling me "wireless network not found". (I am using my wireless so I know that the wireless connection is fine.) I have all correct details (correct network, SSDI, WPE encryption code) for installation but no luck.
    I have a Netgear DG834N router. I did run the www.hp.com/go/networksetup analyser which told me that HP is not currently supporting the router. Can that be right?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    OK, let's go check the router's settings:
    Type 192.168.1.1 into a browser.  The login is 'admin' and the password is 'password'.
    On the left side, choose Wireless Settings under the Setup heading.  You should see your SSID.  Make sure the Mode is set to 145Mbps.  Here you can choose your Security Options.  I highly recommend WPA2-PSK (AES).  If you have WEP, please change it.  WEP is not secure.  If you change your security settings, choose a passphrase that is at least 13 characters, numbers and letters, upper and lower case.  You will have to re-enter this into all of your wireless devices.
    Now, lower on the left side, choose Wireless Settings under the Advanced heading.  Make sure that SSID broadcast is checked.
    If you changed anything, check Apply toward the bottom.
    Let me know what you found.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Apple Wireless Card Not Working

    I just removed an Apple Wireless card from a PowerBook Tit. laptop and plugged it into my QuickSilver 733, re-installed the OS, and I can not get the coputer to recognize the wireless card.
    Now, this is the older wireless card not the extreme, and I have used one of these cards in the past for one of these computers and worked fine, but can not get it to pickup this time.
    I know the card is good, was in use up until it was removed from the PB yesterday.
    Tried to add the wireless device in the Network panel, but could not see the card.
    Any ideas???
    Thanks,
    Carter

    I have a Quicksilver 2002 (Dual 1-GHZ) and my internal airport card just started acting flakey. It drops the connection and then re-acquires the network, sometimes a couple of times a minute. Sometimes the only way to get the wireless signal is to turn AirPort off and on agian on the computer. Then it will work fine for days. I bought this PowerMac new just before MacWorld in 2002 (yeah, right before the MDD model was introduced - brilliant timing on my part, as usual) and haven't had a lick of trouble with it ever. I also have a new MacBook with built-in AirPort Extreme and I have no trouble with my wireless signal on that computer, so it has to be the PowerMac. Are there any known issues I'm missing?

  • Satellite Pro 4600 Wireless card does not work with WIN2K ?

    I have a Satellite Pro 4600 with UK dealer installed PA3070U-1MPC wireless card running with Windows 2000
    The wireless client manager finds the network of my wireless router and reports the signal is excellent and I see all green bars swhowing.
    However I can't mske a connection, in 'connections' the wireless one says 'network cable is disconnected'
    the router works ok with other laptops in my house.
    I have latest version of Win2K also have downloaded and installed latest versions of client manager and WLAN card driver for win2k from toshiba website.
    The 'toshiba support in Turkey' told me 'I need a different driver for Win2K for my wireless card cause the win2K driver on the toshiba website is not for 'this' wireless card'. I have waited for this for 3 weeks now and have been unable to reach the elusive UK Level 3 support who supposedly have this driver. I have seen on the internet the same wireless card is has been sold as a 'made by toshiba' accessory and it says it is compatible with Wim2K
    What do I do next please ? Does this run at all with Win2K , is there 'another driver' and so on ?
    Thanks

    hello
    please be more scpecific - what do you mean by 'disconnect the LAN' - I have nothing conneced there anyway ? do you mean 'disable' the LAN even though there is nothing plugged in ? can you please post the exact sequence of this so I can try ir too.
    In the meantime my laptop has been to Toshiba for them to sort out at their highest level UK support base. I was hoping my troubles would be over - but no, read below what happened. They are basically saying my win2k is not in order but I had just installed and updated it so right now I haven't a clue what to do next.
    START QUOTE of Toshiba Support response:
    Sat Pro 4600
    Serial No: 31474181G
    Windows 2000 SP4 (customers build not recovery CD)
    BIOS V1.80 not current therefore updated to V2.60
    The notebooks wireless card is functional and has the correct driver installed, it also has the correct and latest version of the Wireless Client Manager. The wireless function appears to see the router but will not connect and obtain an IP address. Irrespective of the settings applied within Internet Explorer or the Wireless client manager you cannot obtain a connection. The customer did not have any Toshiba utilities installed such as, Power Saver, Common Modules, Chipset drivers, network device switch, I therefore installed these missing components and updated the BIOS to the most current revision. However despite this the unit will still not connect to the wireless.
    I therefore removed the customers HDD and replaced his HDD with a Toshiba loan HDD with a fresh build that I had created. When using the machine with this build the wireless connected without issue and I was able to browse the internet etc. I placed the customers HDD into our machine and the problem with the wireless was replicated on our machine here, therefore the problem is not with the wireless card or any hardware aspect of the machine, the problem lies with the customer's build of Win 2000. I examined for anything obvious but could not find anything, therefore I'm sending this machine back to customer with the advice that his build needs addressing or he needs to reload Win 2000 his machine.
    As you can see from the above comments, the machine performs as per specification with loan HDD and fresh build of Win 2000 installed, the problem is only present with you HDD and build in the machine. In addition to this I have replaced the missing screws on the base of the machine ensuring the machine is structure is maintained.

  • Satellite P75-A7200 Wireless Card Upgrade

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone has upgraded their Wireless Card in their Satellite P75-A7200. Until I got it home, I didn't realize that it was only a single band card and doesn't support 5ghz wireless N which is all I run my network on at home for bandwidth purposes since my neighborhood is flooded with 2.4 ghz users. It appears its a simple swap to change, but I need to know if if the Antennas support 5ghz.
    According to Intel's Docs:
    "Before installing Intel® wireless adapters supporting IEEE* 802.11a, verify with the laptop manufacturer that the laptop includes a 5GHz (802.11a) capable antenna..."
    I was going to switch it out with a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 or Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth
    I'm just not sure about the midle antenna port that the 6300 has since the P75-A7200 only has 2 wireless
    Attached is what adapter I currently have installed. (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230)
    Any help is appreciated. I am a very technical person, so I'm not a noob at this. Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I was finally able to extract the screw very gently with a power drill and #1 screw extractor. I then installed the new card in under 15 seconds. Booted right up and I had 5gz connectivity with upwards pf 160mbps (and I'm not even close to the router). No need to update any drivers. Definitly worth the $30 investment. Thanks to priuscat for providing the information on what card to get.
    Attached is exactly how the new card looks from Amazon

  • Verizon Wireless installer for a wireless card not working. Help?

    I have this wireless card from Verizon Wireless that lets me use internet anywhere i want. Its called the USB727 manufactured by Novatel Wireless. Bundled with this toy came a disc with the installer. When i tried to pop it into my iBook running OS X 10.4.11 it wouldn't begin the auto run. When I clicked the disc on my desktop i was given a .dmg file instead of the normal Verizon logo. When i opened it i was given two options the user manual and the actual installer. The installer logo was a piece of paper instead of the normal open-cardboard box. When i clicked it I'm given a window with the title folder actions setup, the setup doesn't show up.

    Hi Eddie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Not sure why it looks like that, I'd try this...
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then reboot & try to install.
    Found this...
    The main thing is, you need to install the VZaccessmonitor to get the right drivers, but after that you can connect through Internet Connect, as if it twere a regular modem. If you open internet connect, or the system prefs while configuring and setting up initially with the VZaccessmonitor, it will cause the repeating dialogues. I had to uninstall, make sure not to open system prefs while the VZ install ran, and then reboot--and the install had produced a new location for me.

  • Wireless Card Not working

    i have a satellite l305d-s5914.  when i turn on the wireless internet the light doesn't turn on and it doesn't pick up any signal.  the diagnostics said it doesn't have the right drivers but another test said it did.  any help would be appreciated.  thanks.

    The wireless card should be there, but if the drivers are not installed or the wireless antenna switch is not on, you're not going to connect wirelessly. Go to Control Panel. Click on Device Manager. Click on the icon just to the left of Network Adaptors. You should see both the wired and wireless network adaptors. No red 'X's, yellow '?' or anything on the wireless card. If the wireless card is not there, Windows is not seeing. And if there is a red 'X' , the wireless card has been disabled. And the yellow '?' means that the wrong driver was installed.
    You can also disable the wireless card and turn off the wireless antenna by doing an FN-F8 key combination. The same key combination will toggle the wireless on too. With the wireless antenna switch in the on position, do the FN-F8 combination to get the wireless LED back on. Normally that LED is an orange/amber. 

  • Satellite P10-804 wireless card upgrade

    Hi,
    Ive been trying to find a list of compatible wireless cards to upgrade my Satellite P10-804 but can't find any.
    The the current wireless card is a Toshiba PA3171U-1MPC but it doesnt do the 802.11G standard and no WPA security.
    Anyone know of what are good replacement cards that will work on my laptop?
    Ive come across this one but Im not sure if it is compatible or not as I can't find any compatibility info for it: PA3416U-1MPC
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi
    I think the PA3416U-1MPC should be compatible.
    I mean the notebook supports the miniPCI Wlan card and the PA3416U-1MPC is a miniPCI Wlan card.
    The WLan antenna behind the notebooks screen should be connected to the connectors placed on miniPCI WLan card.
    The two connectors are marked with MAIN and AUX. Normally a white cable goes to the MAIN and a black to the AUX
