• Satellite L40 - 17Q - Windows XP says that there is no HARD drive

  Hello

  I want to install XP, but it is said that there is no HARD drive. Already tried nLite, but no result. I have Satellite L40 - 17Q and I'm under Win. 7.
  What can I do?

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  What SATA driver you have integrated with nLite? If Windows XP cannot always find a disk of t means that you used the wrong driver. The correct driver can be downloaded from the official website of Toshiba and you need the Intel Storage Manager.

  If you have downloaded the correct driver, follow the instructions here and make sure that your version of XP SP3:

• Blue screens with XP on Satellite L40 - 17Q

  Hello

  I have Satellite L40 17 Q with Xp installed and working.

  Even after a clear Blue Screen of Death installation appear from time to time, especially the mention IRQL or Special_poll_detected issues...

  I want to believe that there is no hardware problem or it's just the drivers, but I do not have another package of driver that I downloaded from the Toshiba site.

  Please give me your opinion or any suggestion of a solution.

  The laptop has 1.86 Celeron CPU and 2 GB of ram.
  I was wondering what version of Vista it would fit and how does it perform on Vista.

  I decided to go with Home Premium {without the Aero}, but I do not if the pc would be stable enough or it will go sluggish.

  Briefly, please tell me my computer run differently with Vista over XP?

  Thanks in advance

  Dude. Problems with xp can be solved with a windows repair. But to do that if your serial number have not been used too otherwise you will struggle to activate xp with it. Second: Try to stay with xp for a while: a year at least. Vista which is not good, but because of compatibility issues, and he uses a * charge of resources more than xp. Hsould you have at least 2 GB of ram to run vista well. You have, but with this you' owe it have a core duo 2.0 ghz processor. My senses. XP is much faster on a pc with 2 GB of ram than vista with 2 GB of ram. For Windows vista to work the fat, you should have that 4 GB of ram. That's me form.

• Satellite L40 - strange problem with battery LED indicator

  Hello

  I have Satellite L40 - 18w and I have a problem. When the battery is low or that he is in charge of the led is orange, but when it is fully charged there is no led indicator. Even if I turn it on, there is no light and if I check the power connection options AC adapter is recognized. Operating system is Windows XP PRO SP2. I tried to find the Toshiba Power Saver, but it seems that he can't stand L40.

  Would it be a hardware or a software problem?
  Thank you in advance for your help!

  I had the same problem.
  Remove and install back the battery.

• 14F L40 satellite with a graphic resolution problem

  Hello!

  I have Toshiba Satellite L40 - 14F with XP Home SP2 and BIOS 5.10.

  I installed this OS with the old version of the BIOS (1.60 - if good I remember)- and everything worked well.
  About a month ago, I upgraded the BIOS to version 5.10 (by that I repaired
  problem with no Wi - Fi LED lighting) and laptop worked too correct.
  But yesterday XP started with the depth of display resolution 640 x 480 and 4 bit color!
  When I tried to change resolution back to 640 x 480 and 4 bit color :(

  There are no errors in Device Manager and no problems with other devices.
  I reinstalled the graphics driver (the same who was working ok and last of Intel)
  and no effect. With the XP system only - driver resolution and colors are ok.
  Finally I formatted the partition, XP reinstaled with drivers - and... resolution 640 x 480! :(
  Other devices (WiFi, audio etc.) work well.

  Where is the problem? Is this driver Intel graphics can t work with BIOS 5.10?
  Why system worked properly with the same drivers but not now?
  Maybe I need to go back to old BIOS and reinstall XP - but Windows install
  This change is impossible...

  Help me please :)

  L40 - 14F Satellite belongs to the series of PSL4CE. Am I wrong?
  Could you please check the number at the bottom of the unit? Thank you

  As far as I know this laptop was equipped with the Mobile Intel GL960
  Chipset Express (code name; ClestlineGML)

  Right now, that the European driver Toshiba page provides the BIOS XP v5.40 - WIN and Intel display driver v6.14.10.4833.
  But I wonder if you have installed the good BIOS?  :|

  Try to upgrade to version 5.40. It is designed for the PSL4CE series.

  If the update of the BIOS will not help you, then a problem of graphics card might be possible

  One question; Have you noticed the same problem with OS installed since the Toshiba Recovery CD?

• Satellite L40-139: new graphics driver is causing the problem after waking from sleep

  I have a three month old Toshiba Satellite L40-139 (PSL40E) with 1 GB of RAM with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. This laptop worked very well for me for the basic headquarters far tasks, and I would have no problem recommending.

  In the last days I've updated the software and drivers from the Microsoft Update web site.

  Since the update driver Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family (to version 7.14.10.1350, dated October 18, 2007), the screen resolution at 800 x 600 after awakening from the sleep state. The only way I found to fix it is to restart the PC.

  Other articles published on the web, I understand that this particular driver (Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family driver 7.14.10.1350 version) has caused many other problems on a variety of hardware and software platforms.

  Does anyone have a definitive solution for Satellite L40?

  I looked at four options.

  1. let the new installed driver and restart Windows each time after waking up from sleep mode. Rather, I must not do this.

  2. using the Restore Point created by Windows Update before the update of the driver, roll back to an earlier time. This seems to be a good course if it works.

  3 download an older version of the driver and reinstall it. I don't know which version would work but note that others have had success with the 7.14.10.1280 version. I guess a similar version could be included in the driver Package that can be downloaded from Toshiba Europe site, but have heard that the time required to download this software can exceed ten hours and am therefore reluctant to try.

  4. the fourth option is not really possible. I should be able to "Roll-Back" the driver in Device Manager, but the button is disabled.

  Although only a minor problem, it is very irritating and I would like to address them without causing other problems. Does anyone else have this problem? Someone has fixed it successfully?

  Hello Peter

  If I understand correctly, you use your usual laptop for daily work and you don't need any computer high-performance notebook. If I'm right I have to say that you should be happy if the laptop works well and stable.

  I don't really see any reason why you wanted to update chipset driver. In any case, you should try to roll back the BONES of time earlier and I hope everything will work again. There is absolutely no risk, and you can test it.

  Please post the result.

• Satellite L40-17 t - how to get the mode full screen of low resolution?

  Nice day!

  What should I do to get a resolution 800 x 600 mode full screen for Satellite L40-17 t?

  You must remove the graphics driver and should only use a common Microsoft Windows driver that supports only the resolution 600 x 800 and 768 x 1024.

  But I really don't understand why you want to use 600 x 800? Is the resolution 768 x 1024 high?

  Yes, you must update the BIOS to the version of Windows XP. Now 5, 40 - WIN BIOS is available on the Toshiba page.

  I also found a graphic driver Intel on the Toshiba European driver page that should this graphics driver works for sure.

  By the way; Don t forget to install the driver chipset also

  But video was still 640 x 480 and 4 - bit color after all available drivers and install the video driver.

  I tried everything: BIOS update (does not), install in SafeMode (nothing), former driver chipset intel (14,29, 14.31, 14.33, even this 14.331bb - especially for disorders with a native resolution) e.t.c.
  Everything was useless!

  Devices are detected (in Device Manager) and properly installed but no normal resol. & color.
