Any possibility of upgrade Satellite M40 to read 2GB xD memory card?

Hello

According to the user manual, the M40 can only read cards up to 512 MB xD. Now, I bought a digital camera Olympus, including a 2 GB xD card. Is it possible to upgrade the laptop to read this map or is it just not possible?

Thanks for the reply.

Hi Jan

I've never heard any successful solution and I'm really skeptical about it. Only thing I can imagine is update driver for SD card reader with more recent but similar model laptop driver, but please don't ask me which. :)

    a USB Media Reader if you're going to... Start / computer...
    the drive should be recognized with a drive letter.

    several slots for different size cards... There will be several

    If you click left of the drive letter that corresponds to the
    slot of that memory card is located in the directory should appear

  • Is it possible to upgrade the processor in a Satellite M40 - 101?

    I have 479 pin provided Pentiuma® M 730 1.6 Ghz processor. It is insufficient for some tasks more. So I would like to upgrade CPU, but is it possible?

    Hello

    Theoretically, it is possible to upgrade the CPU but practically it is not easy to do.
    The M40 comes with different CPU's.
    As far as I know, these processors has been used and are compatible:
    -Processor Intel Dothan (533 MHz)
    730 1.6 GHz
    740 1.73 GHz
    750 1.86 GHz
    760 2.0 GHz
    770 2.13 GHz

    It seems that notebook was shipped with the first.
    But believe me; No one can tell if the laptop can run successfully after the CPU upgrade.
    As you probably know the faster and more powerful processor produces more heat and this could lead to overheating of the laptop.
    In my view, this is a serious problem and you should be careful

    By the way: Please check this thread. The risk of upgrading have been described very detailed:

  • Vista on Satellite M40 - 285-> is there any problem?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M40-285, my wish is to install Vista on it, I know about pcmcia issues that lock boot Vista and solve their pcmcia.sys file renaming, but this does not solve the problem really, pcmcia slot and card reader didn't work.

    So I would like to know if Toshiba will launch a driver for Vista, or, everyone has solved this problem with any tip where Vista starts normally and pcmcia works fine?

    Thank you
    Kind regards.

    Toshiba M40 satellite will certainly not throw all Vista drivers or tools. This device is not Vista capable and there is no support for Vista. If you want to test with Vista create the second partition and try to install Vista on it. I did the same thing on my Vista not supported by Satellite M70.

  • Is it possible to upgrade CPU on my Satellite C

    Is it possible to upgrade my processor AMD E1-1200 1.4ghtz what anyone faster than that,
    I want to be able to play FIFA14 apparently she drags on the current processor.

    My ram is 6 GB and I think that's enough.

    Usually these updates is not supported by any laptop manufacturer.

    But I read in some discussions that to some were able to upgrade the Intel processors in laptops own. But your laptop (which model of phone is it exactly?) seems to be equipped with an AMD processor and I guess that the chipset is AMD too.
    In this case only the AMD CPUS would be compatible with the AMD chipset.

    However, even if the AMD chipset would be favorable to another CPU, I guess you would have problems with BIOS. In many cases, the compatibility of the BIOS might be the main reason why a CPU upgrade would not work.

  • Can satellite M40-231 - I upgrade the GPU (graphics card)?

    Hi all

    My Satellite M40-231 has an ATI Mobility Radeon X 600 SE and I would like to upgrade to deal with the demands of today's games, but also a new HARD drive, but the latter, I think that I can go as far as the 120 GB HARD drive.

    SUGESTIONS are welcome.

    TKS

    Sorry, buddy, but this is not possible!
    There are several discussions about upgrading the GPU on mobile phones and all the threads said the same thing that's not possible.

    The point is that most graphic cards chips are outside the motherboard and cannot be deleted.
    You must understand that technology for portable computers is not the same thing as the technology of desktop PCs and more upgrades are not possible.

    Which could be upgraded are the memory modules and HARD drive.

  • Satellite M40-237: CD Boot does not not + is possible startup USB key drive

    * Model: Satellite M40-237 (PSM40E) *.

    I decided to reinstall windows, my hard drive is now formatted. So as usual, boot from the Windows CD is necessary to start the instalation but it does not start. I never had problems like this, always worked boot. It's as if there is no bootable CD in the drive (but it is bootable and it works on another PC).

    -J' have the latest version of the BIOS
    -The BIOS detects the optical drive and everything is ok, HARD is the ODD main drive is secondary
    -J' tried selecting the boot priority, with F12 and/or the BIOS setting but it works anyway

    What could be the problem here? Drive does not properly (hopefully, that and not something worse)? I had some problems with the drive I have (...) before, but it reads the disc normally and as I said start was working fine before. I cleaned the lens a bit, disconnected it and it put. Is there something more, what can I do?

    I'll try to find someone who has the player that fits so I can try with that one, but who knows when is what will be.

    Now, here's the second question, which I've linked to this. Because my laptop is practically useless now (I can't install anything), is it possible to boot from a:
    (a) optical drive USB external
    (b) USB flash drive

    BIOS on this laptop has no USB boot option, it has HARD drive / CD / floppy / network. But I red somewhere this FDD = USB legacy emulation is enabled.

    If that is correct, I should just plug in the USB key and select FDD as boot option? If I can't find a USB optical drive, I thought make it bootable USB flash drive and copy the installation of windows xp on it. So once it starts in DOS I start just the installer from the key.

    TNX

    First I must say that the initialization of memory flash USB (USB key) is not possible and you shouldn't t waste time to try this.

    With regard to your reader of CD/DVD boot problem
    Well, it s really strange, it sounds a bit like a sort of master/slave/c-salt settings problem. But generally, you should get an error IDE (#0 or #1) if one of the devices (ODD or HARD disk) would not be recognized?  :|
    This whole thing seems mysteriously
    There may be a firmware issue

  • Satellite M40-276 - memory not detected in the Bios upgrade

    Hi people!

    New kid on the block!

    I have a client with a toshiba Satellite m40-276. I've updated his memory to give it a little more to play with...

    Went into the bios to see if everything was OK but no projected additional memory. I removed the new and old memory and put in the new 1 GB module and restart the computer.
    The bios has not yet changed the size of the old memory?

    Went to windows and of course that the memory has been detected it normally?
    I added the other memory module and went into the bios again, but no change it?

    Windows, however, recognized that the two modules?

    His computer is the same bios to factory and has never been updated.

    My questions are... why the bios doesn't recognize the upgrade memory? It will help in upgrading the bios?

    Enjoy all the suggestions I can get on this issue.

    Thank you

    bookie56

    Generally, if you upgrade RAM using tested compatible modules, that should be recognized correctly.
    We do not know what modules you use, and I guess that there is a compatibility issue.

    RAM on Satellite M40 276 can scale up to 2 GB of RAM and compatible modules are:
    DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
