• Equium M40x-189 and BIOS update

  There are updates of bios for my laptop, and so I thought I would try a flash update. I can only find the Trad version and not the flash version of Win.
  the problem is that the traditional flash update file asks you to create a bootable cd for the update procedure. Software CD, Toshiba in their wisdom have provided a cutting of the version of "save now". Guess what this special version of toshiba cannot create a bootable cd you have to spend £25 for the full version.
  Someone knows, there is a version of the flash upgrade Win

  Hello Andy

  As far as I know just BIOS updates listed on the download from Toshiba site are available. I guess that your unit is a relatively new. If you have any problems with this device do not do any BIOS update. Only if there is a problem the update of the BIOS by using external devices or something like that is recommended.

• Equium M40X: How to increase the memory?

  A message appeared saying that the memory was low. How can I increase it?

  I

  Hello

  What memory do you mean? You want to upgrade main memory?
  I think that the Equium M40X came with 512 MB. Am I wrong?
  This value should be enough to run all applications.
  In addition, you have the ability to increase memory up to 2048 MB (2x1024Mo)

  The memory location is placed at the bottom of the unit and there, you can place the memory modules.

  But if you want to increase the virtual memory so please do:
  The button parameters of Performance - advanced virtual memory system properties Advanced tab change button.

  You can find the settings and there you can change.

• Upgrade of RAM for satellite M40X-189

  Hello

  I think the upgrade from my memory of the laptop.

  I wonder if I can use Kingston KTD-INSP5150 / 1 G instead of KTT3311/1 G? They are all two PC2700 200-pin DDR SODIMM 333 MHZ but KTD-INSP5150 / 1 G is mainly used for other laptops.

  Someone sell KTD-INSP5150 / 1 G on good price reasonable but do not know if it is compatible?

  Thank you

  Hi momer79,

  Above all Equium M40x can be upgraded to 2 GB of memory. You need to the MMAR DDR SO-DIMM modules with specification PC2700. You can use up to 1 GB in each of the slots.

  Furthermore, I checked the Web of Kingston site because it has Configurator memory. If you are looking for satellite M40x-189, you will get two compatible memory modules:
  KTT3311A/512 (512 MB SO-DIMM)
  KTT3311A / 1 G (1 GB SO DIMM)

  So in your case I would buy one or two of these modules because they seem to be compatible with your computer satellite phone. ;)

• Satellite M40X-189 - replace HARD disk - what size should I go to?

  Hi, I have a SATELLITE M40X-189, I would like to replace the hard drive and would like if possible some recommendations!
  I know I need an ide/pata and I currently have a hard disk of 40 GB hitachi 5400 rpm installed. The memory is just what came installed originally, (512 MB, no upgrade).

  So what size I can up to?
  I have a lot of music/photos and video to change so must also size decent 80 GB would be enough?
  I really don't use it for anything other than that, and also the navigation on the internet. Although I often have a few programs running at the same time which causes problems... freeze, (in particular I tunes) and generally slow running.

  I'm confident on the physical replacement, and I know how to clone my old drive hard etc, but just need some info about the size and speed and if possible
  a recommendation of the manufacturer. Just worried about incompatibility really issues.

  Also, if you think I should install more memory, which size and make and model may recommend.

  Thank you in advance!

  Denise.

  Hi mate

  First he must know that this question have been posted a lot of time in the forum.
  If you want to use the search option, then you will find this thread for example:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=68287

  Is the M40X series supports the IDE controller and I think that you need a 2.5 IDE HDD.
  The old ide controllers are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA
  However, you can take an 80 GB or 120 GB HARD drive and it should work fine

• Equium M40X specification information required

  Hello
  I hope that there is someone on the forum who can help me.

  I have a satellite M40X Toxhiba.
  I spent several hours on the Toshiba site this morning trying to find the specifications of this model.
  Unfortunately my laptop broke down.

  I was told that the motherboard is cracked and I can access is no longer at the computer.
  I do not have a note card and none of my writings gives this information.
  It's a computer 15 "laptop with CD/DVD player, Intel Centrino, SRS Trusound, Microsoft XP.

  I need to know the size of the memory and RAM and anything else if you think relevant.
  Thank you very much. Issyb

  Hello

  There are many different models of Equium M40X.
  Numbers so much more would be needed to determine what components are installed.

  Usually, the model number should be placed at the bottom of the unit.

• Battery replaced CMOS needs M40x-189

  Hello
  I NEED to replace the battery on my M40x-189 RTC... is someone really knows how to go to this topic... Thanks in anticipation. Jim

  Hello

  I found only some information to a Satellite M40x but look Equium M40X and Satellite M40X very similar.
  AFAIK the RTC battery is placed near controller CPU and LAN.
  But you have to remove all covers and keyboard to display the battery.

  I think that it is not very easy and do not open Notepad, if the warranty is valid.
  In my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service partner in your country, and guys should replace the RTC battery. You can also get the battery on the right of this service partner.

• Satellite M40X-189: I want to upgrade the processor?

  Hello

  I have the satellite m40x-189 notebook with Intel Pentium M 730 processor(1.6/2M/533). "I want to improve my CPU with Intel Pentium M780 processor(2.26/2M/533). Is this possible?

  Generally speaking, the situation of CPU upgrade is a little different on laptops. It's not as easy as on the desktop PC.
  The production of temperature and overheating are serious problems.

  But the series of different laptops is shipped with different processors. AFAIK the M40X supports processors:
  Intel Pentium-M Dothan, 1.6GMHz, 1.73GMHz, 1.86 MHz, 2.0GMHz, 2.13GMHz
  and 2.26 MHz.
  Intel Celeron-M Dothan, 1.3GMHz, 1.4GMHz, 1.5 MHz, 1.6GMHz

  The device also supports processors Intel 915 PM/915GM/910GML chipset for system memory controller.

  But you know, nobody's going to give you the guarantee that the laptop will run stable and without any strange behavior.

• Need for satellite M40X-189 product recovery CD

  I lost my CD of recovery of Windows XP Home Edition that was given with my Toshiba Satellite M40X-189 model and my operating system broke down and I am very helpless.

  I bought in Edinburgh, UK and unfortulately currently I am living in INDIA. Customer service in India have said that they can not help me in this regard.

  Please someone help me with this problem. Any suggestions to get my product recovery CD.

  Thank you.
  Sandeep

  Hello

  I think that you´re in serious trouble now. If you have ever tried to get a recovery, unfortunately without success to an ASP, you will need to buy one in the United Kingdom.
  It would be best to contact a partner registered in the city of you´ve bought the machine and ask them for a replacement of your lost recovery.

  Any better idea´s? :)

• I lost all sound on my Equium M40X

  Seems to have lost all sound on my laptop Equium M40X.
  I tried everything obvious like ensuring that nothing is disabled, etc., have used the restore to an earlier date facility. I downloaded a new driver sound - but still no sound! Can anyone help please?

  Thanks, Bobby

  A strange case which s?  :|
  If I was you I would first check the Device Manager.
  There may be some conflicts with your sound card
  Remove the sound from the Device Manager and restart the machine.
  Then reinstall the audio driver again.

  Did you also check if you can hear something using the headset?
  You should do this!

  Also check if the sound is not muted. You can disable and enable using the FN + ESC.

• Equium M40X: Cannot print - not done. Print Spooler service does not

  My notebook Equium M40X has suddenly decided to stop from allowing me to print, gives me the message "operation was not completed. "print spooler service does not. I get this message even when you try to install the original installed printer drivers.

  To resolve this problem, I went to the services.msc to attempt to start the print spooler, but the command is not here present and seems to be missing. I also tried to launch it by clicking Start and then run and typing "net start spooler", but even once, it does not. Can anyone help with this?

  My laptop is an Equium M40X and the operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 2.

  Hello

  This error occurs because the spooler service has not been started or has stopped working.
  It seems that this error is known to Microsoft and they decided to public an article in the knowledge base that could help solve this problem.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314876

  As you say that the spooler service must be restarted.
  To start the spooler service, follow these steps:
  1. click on start and then click Control Panel.
  2. double-click Administrative Tools and then click Services.
  3. double-click on the Printer Spooler service and then change the startup type to automatic. This option sets the spooler service starts automatically when you restart the computer.
  4. If you want to start the spooler service immediately, click the Start button under the Service status field

  If you will not be able to restart the spooler service, you can try to restore the Windows operating system to the point initially by using the Windows System Restore tool.

  Someone has an idea?

  Hello

  Did you check if the wireless card is installed correctly?
  Please check if you see WLan card errors in Device Manager.
  In addition if the hardware and software have been installed correctly, you must enable the WLan antenna on the side of the unit. In addition, he must use the FN + F8 key combination to activate the card.
  The option use Windows to configure my wirelesses must be enabled in the properties of WLan.

• Equium M40X: Can I play the games?

  I have a new laptop Equium M40X. Am new to laptops. I can play games such as the prince of Persia warrior on this laptop, quietly and will seriously strain its resources.

  Hi Kamal,

  Welcome to the forum. Your new laptop computer has sufficient resources for almost all of the games currently available, so you risk nothing to the test by playing.

  The only problem you're likely to face with some of the most high resources games is the graphics card, because it generally uses drivers designed for your laptop and these are not necessarily compatible with the requirements of the games. I have not yet found an easy way to predict what games will be or will not work properly.

  So far, I only got a game that wouldn't work properly on my laptop due to incompatible graphics drivers (I have an ATI RADEON 9100). It is a somewhat obscure title (Knights of the Temple - crusade).

  Good luck with your new Toshiba,

  Kind regards
