I am able to request one or if I am not not to get a disk how am I able to rectify the Please this problem? Also when you try to open a session in normal Windows, it accepts the password then sits there with happiness on the 'Welcome' screen and does not move further.

  Help, please

  Your Equium L40 comes with HARD drive recovery option.
  Recovery image is recorded on the second partition, and you should have HDDRecovery folder saved on the second partition.

  Is this folder?

• Equium L40-14i BIOS update now no start

  Hi all
  I had some problems with my lappie, checked if Toshiba support looking for updated drivers to slow down.
  They was a BIOS update with specified 2.00WIN an improvement in performance.

  My BIOS is v 1.60
  I'm running Vista and my model number is PSL49E

  There are warnings that this update is only for the models running Vista and PSL49x - so I thought that I was ok.

  The windows Flash update and I have a popup dialog told me that this was necessary.
  When the computer reboots, I pressed F2 and the version of the BIOS showed 2.00
  Then, I left the BIOS Setup and nada!
  Black screen, nothing else.
  The blue light is on power list, by nothing else the HARD disk light.

  It can be reflashed using FN + F and using the usb disk?
  If Yes, where can I download the BIOS original version 1.6

  Thanks a lot for any help

  Hello

  Seems that something wrong happened during the update of the BIOS.
  Possibly the ROM module was not properly flashed.
  If the ROM module must be flashed once more.

  The problem is that the European driver Toshiba page provides just the BIOS version focused on victory and this can be modified only from Windows OS.

  But I found the traditional BIOS on Toshiba page:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  But I can't very well if this BIOS would be compatible with your L40 so in this case, you will need to request the ASP from Toshiba in your country for assistance and for flashing the BIOS using the crisis disk BIOS m.

• Updated card graphics/video on Equium L40-14i

  Is someone can you please tell me if you can update the graphics/video card on this machine as we are having trouble loading and playing games (Sims 2 deluxe) and Tiger Woods 08 and a friend mentioned that the graphics card on this laptop does not support them. AFAIK there are here with 1 GB of memory, 128 MB graphics card and two games require at least 32 mb videocard support and yet they either load up, then stop responding or if I do get not one to play it crashes after a few minutes. Is there something that can be done to run one of these games?

  Would be grateful for any advice!

• Equium L40-14i does not illuminate!

  When I turn on my laptop the power button turns green and the disk drive can be heard for a few seconds, after that nothing happens. The screen remains black. I don't know how it happened.

  Hello

  Sounds like serious hardware problem.
  You are able to access the BIOS? Usually, you can access the BIOS by pressing F2 at the beginning.
  So if this is not possible, then it means that your card mother s cell phones likely to be affected. But also the defective RAM module might be possible

  In my opinion, the technician of the ASP must check these pieces of hardware.

  Hi MartynB_1,

  The SATA drivers, you can download on the official website of Toshiba and the driver is called Intel Storage Manager.
  But you must extract the files first until you can use them.

  Hello

  I know Equium L40 has Serial ATA but Tecra A3 IDE(Ultra ATA/100) interface interface. So, this means that you cannot replace hard drive Tecra A23 to Equium one.

• Equium L40 10 X flashing green power light

  Hi guys,.

  I have an old Equium L40 that I haven't used in a while.

  Now when I plug the power adapter into the power green led just blinks constantly.
  I checked the blink codes, but I can't find one for mine. It simply turns green for a second then off.
  Then green for a second then off the coast and that constantly.

  I tried to remove the battery for a few minutes and then hold the power button for a minute, but I just get the same result. The adapter is one that came with the laptop and as far as I can tell works very well.

  Other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you guys!

  Hello

  Indicator power (DC IN) indicates the status of the power supply with the power adapter plugged.
  (Without flashing) Green means supply and the computer is turned on.
  The power light on the front of the computer lights green when the computer is turned on.
  Flashing orange indicates power to the computer while the laptop is in mode 'sleep'.

  Unfortunately, the DC IN green flashing red state looks like a hardware problem.
  Probably the power supplied to the laptop is abnormal or there are a few problems with electronic power on the motherboard.

  By the way: Please check the memory modules live. Blow an and test the device using that one module in each slot. Check the two modules.
  A few years ago, a friend of mine had some problems with the laptop. The flashing light indicates the issue of RAM

  Hello Steven

  It is not easy to provide a response based on the description of your problem.
  If you use connection WLAN make sure wireless network adapter is installed, enabled and configured correctly.

  USB cable? What type of USB cable do you use?

• Equium L40-10 X - audio drivers do not work on Windows XP

  I recently reinstalled XP on my equium L40-10 x. Unfortunately, the audio drivers from the Toshiba support site does not work for me - are there other drivers that are known to work?
  I didn't load the available disks and need something on the net - link?

  Thank you.

  Hi cecilrosa,

  I n t have Equium L40 but I'm pretty sure that the audio drivers are working properly. The point is that you need to first install Service Pack 3 before you can install the audio driver.

  So to remove the current sound driver and install Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. After that, you can try reinstalling the audio driver.

  Check this box!

• Equium L40 - Vista won't start after installation of product recovery

  Hello

  I had to realize a product uses recovery provided restore disk on an Equium L40 computer laptop (PLS41). The recovery procedure done his job to the end, reformats and copy all the files and then restarts. Now the problem starts...
  The pc gets in front of the BIOS boot screen, then it goes completely black with only a cursor to underscore flashing in the upper corner of the screen. No HARD or CD-rom drive activity.

  I did the cover about ten times now. All with the same result. I tried the repair procedure using a Vista boot CD and I also tried using another disk supplied with the computer, anytime upgrade from Vista. Here they are without defects, see the hard drive and shows that the vista files are on it, also sees the winRE partition.

  I tired even fresh install from the disc at any time. It also reformats the disk, copies and decompresses all files needed, begins to install the updates on the disk and then said: he needs to restart. It restarts and goes to black screen with flashing underscore cursor. What happens if I press the 'coup of any key to boot from CD' or leave it to boot from the HARD drive.

  I tried to fix this for two days now, including endless hours of forum to research, the computer belongs to my friend gets very angry I am. I need help. No one knows how to fix?

  Hello

  According to your message, I think that the HARD drive is faulty.
  I think there's a defective recording of MBR (MBR) of the drive and therefore the laptop refuses to boot.

  One question; have you tried to set the BIOS default settings? If this is not the case, try this.

  If it doesn t help and the laptop still does not start upward, then you should ask ASP for verification.
  I think it s a problem of HARD disk and, possibly, the HARD drive must be replaced!

• Equium L40-10 X - hardware upgrade options

  Hi all, I hope someone can help me.

  I have a few problems that I wish to address with my laptop. The first is an overheating problem. Is there a cooling system that I can install to help with this problem?

  I know I can improve my RAM, I currently have only 1 GB, but I heard that I can have only a maximum of 2 GB. It is not a problem if that's true, but if I get more I would.

  Last thing I want to ask, is whether or not I can upgrade the internal memory, I currently have 120GB. If I is something I can do myself?

  I appreciate any help you can give

  Hey,.

  1 if you have overheating problems then just clean the cooling assembly. You need not just a new or better, cooler jet of compressed air. ;)
  [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

  2. Yes, you can upgrade the RAM to 2 GB. That s the maximum capacity for this model to Toshiba specifications.
  The part number for a 1 GB module is PA3512U-1M1G

  3. you can also upgrade the HARD drive, that s no problem.
  AFAIK Equium L40 supports SATA already then you can buy each HARD drive with this interface. There is no capacity limit.

  I hope I could help you :)
