Equium L40 - update issues

Hi, I have a PSL49E Equium L40-156 under Vista Home Premium.

I have 3 questions: (mainly due to a desire to improve things)

1. What is the capacity max hard drive supported?

2. What is the max memory configuration suppored?

3. What are the benefits of the upgrade of BIOS 2.00 - WIN?

Thanks in advance for any help, best regards, Chris.

Hello

I'll try to help you with your questions:

Friend of mine has Satellite L40 and I can assure you that you can improve it with 200 GB SATA HDD. Service told him it's max capacity according to the Toshiba.
Is that enough for you?

RAM can be upgraded up to 2 GB. This is the max supported value.

There are no specific information on BIOS updates. If your laptop works well you should not update at all.

  • Equium L40 - Updated Winflash "can not find BIOS Image here"

    I downloaded the latest BIOS update for my laptop. When I extracted the folder and ran the Winflash.exe, it brings me to a window asking me to open the so-called "Fill bios image here." in My Documents. When I click on open, then says Can not find the image of the BIOS: bios C:\Users\Max\Documents\Fill picture here.
    Can anyone help? None of this is mentioned in the guide to update BIOS on the site and I need this update of the BIOS. Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all after you download the update of the BIOS, you will need to decompress.
    In my case, I unzipped the BIOS to the C:\ (System partition)

    Then run the file WinFlash.exe.
    If the BIOS update would not start then try with the file UpdateBIOS.bat

    But note; do not forget that you have downloaded the right version of the BIOS for the right laptop model

  • Equium L40 (PSL49E) - is the compatible update BIOS?

    Simple question:

    I have a laptop Equium L40 PSL49E with Vista. There is an update available BIOS - but only for the models with Modelnumber PSL48x, PSL49x, PSL4Bx, or PSL4Cx.

    So my question is: what's my model?

    Is PSL49E = PSL49x?

    It would also be a bonus if someone could explain, function exactly who these updates? And if there is anything I should be aware of in this context?

    Yes, the update is compatible with your laptop. I also checked the Web from Toshiba for the PSL49E site and I can see this update of the BIOS.

    PSL49x means that this update is compatible with all models that begin with PSL49

  • My Equium L40 no longer works after update BIOS!

    Hi friends...

    Please, I need a help.
    I updated my computer laptop bios v2.00 v1.60 and after that it no longer works.
    When I try to turn it on nothing happens.

    Maybe I need the original BIOS.

    Who has a solution? What can I do?
    Could someone help me?

    Thank you!

    My laptop is a series of Equium L40 - PSL49E - 156

    Hello

    I can tell what you have to do now
    You will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance

    Yes, you have the technician ASP.
    I assumed that the ROM module where the BIOS is stored has not properly been flashed.
    I think that the ASP will try again by using a special version of the flash BIOS

  • Equium L40 - 17 M PSL49E - collapsed Wlan work after BIOS update

    Hi all

    I have problem with my laptop.
    The laptop Equium L40 - 17 M, model PSL49E-00C005KS.

    For a few days, I am updating my BIOS after update, with the version P20B200 (bios 20080617131309), internal wireless stop working.
    Show me device is turned on but activity is off, and I can not turn on the device.

    First thing I think is 'Windows' and I start the recovery disc. But after the problem of the recovery is still exist, Wireless does not.
    Then I put external USB wireless and are trying to connect with the router.

    Computer recognises USB but it also don't do no work orders, so the problem is not wireless (I'm not sure why), but I think that this problem is because the laptop can not recognize USB device properly.
    I want to Flash the bios with old BIOS but I don't have it

    I'll be grateful to someone who have the same problem, tell me how to resolve this.
    Or send me an old bios for my laptop.

    Hello

    I always put t know what BIOS version, you used.
    Is that Equium L40 PSL49E can use two different BIOS versions.
    If you are using XP you need to version 5.50 of BIOS, but if you use Vista then you need to use the BIOS 2, 00 - Win.

    Secondly, I would recommend updating the driver Realtek WLan until you try to Flash the BIOS again.
    I think that the need for notebook Realtek Wlan driver.

    Check the driver from the Toshiba page or download one from the Realtek site directly!

    PS: The wireless network card must be turned on before you try to connect to the router.
    You have to switch the WLan ON switch and need to press FN + F8 until the WiFi network has been activated!

  • Equium L40: After bad Bios update cannot use the WLan

    Hi there hope someone can help.

    I've updated the Bios as tempo toshiba said, but I have not read the last piece. Who was that it is not for mine which is the model L40.

    I have now tried to put the right pair, but he says he can't. As I'm putting that has an earlier date.

    My main problem now is that my wireless stopped working, it says its there and so to work, I put the switch on, but he can't find any networks he used to find approximately 4 in my area

    Do I have to restore my entire system :(?

    I'm really confused about your message because the European Toshiba page provides drivers and BIOS for one Equium L40 series m.
    I found 2 different versions of the BIOS for Equium L40; a BIOS for XP and a BIOS for Vista.

    In my opinion it of almost not possible to update the BIOS with the wrong version

    However, it you have updated and used the wrong BIOS, then you must contact the ASP to help

    But first, I recommend a check of the WLan configuration

    Hello

    that you have properly installed the powersaver? It would be good to know if you did. What about XP on Vista machines:

    Manufacturers, all new machines have been built to run under vista. Unfortunately the material works not perfectly under XP because hardware was built specifically for Vista.

    Thus, if some functions are not working then it could be that no true driver XP support was destined to this machine.

    I hope that the Service Pack for Vista would be released soon, because then Vista would be probably interesting for most users.

    See you soon

  • Equium L40 - 10z PSL41E - cannot install audio driver WinXP

    Hello!

    I'm having a problem with the installation of the Windows XP sound card drivers

    Computer laptop informatio, Toshiba Equium L40 - 10z (bought from PC World) PSL41e
    2 GB Ram DDR2 - 667 Mhz
    Core 2 [email protected]
    120 GB hard drive
    Intel GMA 945 graphics card with shared memory

    I can't find drivers for my laptop, the specification is indicated above. I have windows XP with service pack 3 installed and the system is unable to install drivers Realtek High Defination or audio drivers Realtek AC 97 ". I even tried the latest drivers version 1.86 but not its use.

    I read the other posts on this forum and have tried the other model audio drivers as well, it seems that after running the installer from several other realtek audio drivers for windows XP THAT is of no use. I even tried to add material manually through the Device Manager and have to install these drivers for realtek high definition audio and the realtek ac 97 audio drivers.

    Of course, this helps the drivers to install, but windows cannot activate the material with an error code 10 with a note of explanation on behalf of the driver in Device Manager.

    I also tried to install the drivers of toshiba A100/A200 without exploitation, however, I read somewhere that there is a windows XP patch that is required to be installed, so that windows detect the chip high definition, which is on the motherboard. If one can provide a direct link to a driver with the .inf file that will have the information for the material, or if someone can advise (or provide a link for) according to microsoft update is required for windows XP, in the appropriate hardware detection, will be really useful.

    I'm also sorry for my bad English I'm unable to articulate with the type of problem, I faced. But if anyone knows of a solution and additional information is needed, I will be happy to provide you with everything I know.

    I'll be very grateful to anyone who helps address this issue. Looking forward to a positive response :).

    > have windows XP with service pack 3 installed
    To my knowledge, that the XP SP3 is not published official. Only a beta version is available.
    Then go back to SP2!

    > the system cannot install drivers Realtek High Defination or Realtek AC' 97 audio drivers
    Realtek AC 97 audio driver is not compatible! You must use the driver from Realtek High definition.

    > Of course, it helps the drivers to install, but windows cannot activate the material with an error code 10 with a note of explanation on behalf of the driver in Device Manager.

    The problem is that you have not installed the MS XP patches that are necessary to get the sound working.

    Laptop with pre-installed Vista, wireless card installed properly, stops just answer with tried several routers in different places (to eliminate interference) (Netgear, Belkin), wireless turns off intermittently and vista not not recognize the installed card (you will need to re - detect by using Device Manager).

  • Toshiba Equium L40 - 10U Wireless does not

    I recently updated my Toshiba Equium L40 - 10U to Service Pack 2 for Vista and now my wireless does not work. I tried to update my driver - but its already been updated, checked for updates - all installed, ensured this driver has been activated. Yet I still can't wireless to work, I don't know what to do now!

    I checked my network connections and my wan (PPPOE) miniport is disconnected when you try to connect it comes up with ERROR 815. Then I have to make sure that my internet connection options were correct - do not establish a connection and do not allow the proxy server and still get this message.
    My BIN is Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC (do not know if this is useful or not) I tried to turn it off then try and turn it back on? But do not know if that would improve the situation or not.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • Need USB drivers for old Equium L40 - 10U PSL41E running Vista 32-bit

    Hi all

    I think that my USB driver is corrupted. I found the ChipSet, LAN and BIOS drivers for my old PSL41E Equium L40 - 10U running Vista 32 bit. However, I have not found the USB drives I need. USB drivers are contained in the ChipSet, BIOS or LAN driver?

    If not, where can I find and download the USB drivers for my old old Equium L40 - 10U PSL41E running Vista 32 bit?

    Thank you! -Le Cannet

    USB drivers are part of the Windows operating system.
    The USB ports should work after the installation of the Windows operating system and, therefore, there is no such thing as a USB driver for the USB 2.0 standard.

    In addition, the chipset driver must be installed.

    I checked the proposed link in your ad and here, you can download the Intel chipset utility.

  • Equium L40-156: graphics card problem - error code 12 in Device Manager

    People of the night...

    Just got a family run Vista premium, Equium L40-156, everything is going well except a little problem with the display adapter (Mobile Intel 965).

    Tried the drivers that I had with the installer
    Tried the drivers from the toshiba download page
    Tried the drivers on the Microsoft Update site
    Tried the drivers from the website of intel

    All have the same problem, in Device Manager, it shows with an error (the pretty yellow triangle with the "!") with an error code 12 (the device cannot find enough free resources) even after a system resart.

    Switching view hidden devices displays a 2nd same device, but works correctly, but the two disappear if I try to delete either.
    Display settings do not display a connected device, DXDIAG had no idea either.

    Latest version of the BIOS installed, all other devices are very good and can not see an IO overlap anywhere

    Any suggestions, greatly appriciated

    Hello

    I have studied a little bit and looked on the Microsoft page for some answers and found out what exactly means the error code 12.

    ------------------------------------
    + Error code 12 +.

    + This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12) +.

    + Two devices are assigned the same i/o ports, the same interrupt, or the same Direct memory access channel (whether through BIOS, the operating system, or a combination of both). This error message may also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device (for example, if a (USB) universal serial bus controller is not an interruption of the BIOS because of a corrupt MPS (Multiprocessor) system table). +
    -------------------------------------

    Well, what to say; usually this error message should not appear with the original Toshiba preinstalled operating system.
    I put t know if you have changed something or add an additional device, but it would be very interesting to know if the same error message appears after the reinstallation of the OS.
    You can use the Toshiba Recovery CD/DVD of restoration!

    All the drivers, the tools are already preinstalled on the recovery CD so the entire procedure will not take very long. about 10 min.

    Check this box and report if the same error is displayed on the laptop with the factory settings!
