• His acute appears when the power adapter is plugged into satellite

  Hello

  My laptop is four days old, but when I use it and the power adapter is connected and provide electricity, a steep, low sound volume is issued from the fan area. When I remove the adapter it disappears usually, but sometimes intermittently returns in the form of a stuttering occasional, typically when I use many processor programs.

  I also noticed that, if the sound is not present and yet I increase the brightness of the screen in the properties of the TOSHIBA power saver, he'll be back with a vengeance. In addition, the power supply makes the same buzz, but at least I can sit several feet from it.

  Can someone therefore please tell me if this buzz / your electronic is normal, or if there is something I can do to prevent it being issued?

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  I think you should contact your dealer / ASP with this problem. It seems to me that there is some sort of component inside the PC that generates this noise when the processor speed is high.
  Also if the power adapter is buzzing, you must show this to them as well.

  It does not seem right that the unit should behave like that.

• M40-154 satellite WLAN interface does not send a single packet

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba M40-154 with built-in Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Chipset. I am running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2. 9.0.1.9 driver version.

  The Windows hardware Manager shows no conflict about resources memory, interruptions or anything else, just said me eth. would be nice (.. .and Yes, I changed the WLAN switch in front of the box to 'on')

  I configured both Wireless-Lan, once using the Toshiba and Windows XP itself once.

  Wireless networks are recognized, but I can't make any connection. It seems kind of strange to me, because when sniffing Interface with Ethereal, lie, not a single packet is sent by my WLAN interface. I checked all the configuration on another laptop with the same chipset and just works well.

  After the first installation of Win XP, I had a similar problem with my Marvel Yukon LAN interface. He comes to recognize connectivity (even LED a cover connectivity) but not sent or received a single package. I could only get rid of this feature by installing the device drivers located sequentially.

  When you run the diagnostic tool for Toshiba it tells me just the network test "fails". I m really get angry with this tool to completely unnecessary IMHO, because she neither doesn´t made the distinction between my work correctly Marvel Yukon LAN and WIFI, nor give me any hint, what could be the problem...

  Anyone with similar problems or able to give me a clue?

  Hello

  I'm really confused. Last week I set up the Satellite M40 and WLAN network by a friend of mine. His unit is pre-installed with recovery DVDs and everything works fine.

  Have you had problems at the beginning or just after installing WXP professional? I put t know how you installed the operating system, but I hope that you used the instructions to facilities provided by Toshiba. The order of the facilities is very important.

  If the WIFI network is visible in my opinion there must be a problem with the WLAN settings. Your WLAN is locked with a WEP key? Try to establish a connection without restriction.

  I hope that your access point is just configured and type of PPPoE. In this case the IP address must be the value automatically.

  Sorry, but on this path, it is really not easy to say what may be the problem.

  Good bye

• 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)
  1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

  Hello your

  One of my friends had the same problem and using method 1, everything was working again. I also write what he don t have much clue about PC and software and wh knows what he did on his notebook.

  If you have no success with troubleshooting I recommend you backup your data and reinstall the OS using a supplied recovery media.

  Good luck!

  My connection to the local network is of about ~ 110 KB/s.
  My WiFi is of about ~ 60 KB/s.

  Arcor support sent me a technician to check my connection.
  The connection is good. His laptop WLAN gets ~110kb/s
  But my WLAN connection is bad :-(

  How to increase speed WLAN?

  -Aykut

  Hello

  Check the properties of the card wireless in Device Manager. On the Advanced tab, there is transmit power setting. I hope that it is defined at the highest level. Your card is standard g and it should work up to 54 MBit per second.

• Satellite M40-225 does not Windos 7 or Vista?

  Hey,.
  I am trying to install Windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite M40-225, but it does not start after installation. After completing the installation of Windows will try to start for the first to say "prepare your computer for his first start" then after 5 seconds or it will restart and do the same thing again...

  The same problem also happens with Windows Vista.

  If you have any ideas it would be much appreciated. I thought maybe the RAM, but it passes all Diagnostics, even with the hard drive.

  This model of laptop is not designed for Vista or Win7 and equipment do not correspond to the requirements and standards for the two operating systems.

  Do you know how old is Satellite M40?
  To be honest, I really wonder that you try to install the newest OS on this old laptop model.

• Satellite M40: HARD drive not working after laptop computer trasported turned upside down

  My Satellite M40 is facing a strange problem: whenever I have transport (for example, in the trunk of my car) backwards instead of in his natural position or vertically, after the transport, the HD does not work for a few hours. The BIOS does not see the HD because it is not present at all. After a few hours of rest, without moving, if you try to turn on the PC again, the HD magically comes to work again backwards.

  My HD is made with soda water? :)

  Talk seriously... What do you think it is?

  Hi franz

  Not easy to say what it is, or why it happens. Maybe it? s a bad connection of the HARD disk.
  I guess that this happens because of the agitation in the car.
  Well, I don? don't know if it helps but you can try to check the connection of the HARD disk.
  The second possibility to use another HARD disk. It might be because there is something wrong with the HARD drive.

• Satellite M40-192: display freezes, cell phone then hang up on battery

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba M40-192 of 2 weeks. When running on battery, the screen freezes sporadically (becomes blurred with thousands of fine horizontal lines), the machine hangs completely. OS: Win XP home, SP2 no..

  I did all the updates (but not SP2, because it causes more old software run defective): Win XP home, latest display drivers, update BIOS - nothing works.

  Is this a known issue? It is a VERY BAD failure, because with that laptop you use data.

  Best regards
  Rambaldi

  Hello

  His unit is known to me, but I never heard of this issue. In my opinion, you should backup your data and reinstall the unit by using recovery DVDs. Test again. If the problem persists contact your local or authorized dealer service partner and let check the device.

  Good luck!

• Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

  Hello

  After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

  After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

  Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

  Hello

  Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
  If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
  If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

  But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
  Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

  The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
  Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
  If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

• Satellite M40 and Vista display resolution - can not play not directly

  Hi guys

  I installed vista ultimate on my M40.
  After that, I installed chip driver ATI mobility 600 x is(with 64 MB of memory) for Vista.
  I had also installed the driver ATI catalyst 7.4, 8.2.

  But I do not get the full resolution of my ATI card IE 1200 * 800.
  It gives me 1024 * 768, whereby the text and icons become fat and ugly.

  I tried so many times to change his resolution of 1200 * 800, but the system it goes to 1024 * 768.

  When I checked the ATI graphics card settings there is an option of 3d acceleration or a material that is not installed by the driver (and it shows the MESSAGE that your current driver does not support hardware acceleration settings).

  Please someone make me know how I can get THE driver for these parameters.

  Thank you

  Hello

  For me it s a clear case.
  You have installed software design of the card is not just one or does not support the graphics hardware for laptop!

  Where did you download the ATI drivers?
  I found this statement on the ATI page:

  All pilot and technical support for the products Mobility Radeon is provided by the original manufacturer of the notebook or laptop. The drivers that are available for download at ati.amd.com are for office products only! To download Windows Vista Mobility Radeon drivers or updated driver for your laptop or notebook computer product, please visit the website of the manufacturer of your laptop or notebook computer.

  Thus, it seems that the drivers are designed for office use only and error message sayingcurrent driver doesn't support hardware acceleration settings notseems so!

• Chart crashes on the Satellite M40 154

  I have a problem with my Toshiba M40-154. It has Pentium clocked at 1.73 Ghz with X 600 graphics card. The laptop was marketed as an entertainment machine, but my graphics driver crashes. Whenever I play a game involving lesser graphics, such as unreal tournament 2003 or need for speed \u200b\u200bMost wanted. I have updated all drivers, bios etc from the website and the problem persists.

  I have send to Toshiba, and they he returned to me, saying: they could not find any problem with the machine. The problem is the breaks down of graphics card his own will even watch DVDs at times.

  Anyone having the same problem and solve it? Can please give me the solution?

  Please don't give me solutions like updating my drivers from the Toshiba website, because I spend my day on this Web site, updated my computer, wherever I should be working and better use or my time.
  I'm sorry for writing so much, but you will understand how frustrated, you will be when you have a problem.

  Hello Afonso
  I understand your feelings... believe me.
  Then...
  (1) you did to be sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed?
  (2) are you sure in the DirectDraw and Direct3D acceleration are enabled (dxdiag)?
  (I know it sounds too simple, but perhaps you forgot to chek these: D)

  (3) have you tried to format and reinstall the operating system?

• Satellite M40: Mast * publishes a DVD Ram UJ - 831S

  model: Satellite M40
  Jon
  I had a problem reading dvd + rw (s) with this record, he had no problem with engraving (x 4), but it reads only 2 x. And once she destoyed a rw (there was more dark spots (like burned) on the media after, maybe the middle was very cold or what?).
  my current firmware is n/a (don't know how he know) and the question:
  1. where can I find the latest firmware? and is it useful?

  2. I recently noticed the becklight on screen is worse in the two lower corners (lower whole sections begins to be odd), is this normal by others or what?

  idkn

  Hi Jon

  I'll be honest to you. Satellite M40 is fairly new. Why you n t contact your local dealer or service partner and clarify these issues. The warranty is still valid, and perhaps the reader will be replaced. Here on the forum, you can wait for days for suggestions that will help you a lot.

  One of my friends has the same unit about a year now and it works very well. I liked laptop and I burn DVDs of film sometimes to his unit. So far, there is no problem with him.

  Good luck and thank you to a return if there is a serious hardware problem.

• Satellite M40 PSM40E - big problem

  Model: Satellite M40-237 (PSM40E)

  To start from the beginning. Around a year ago, the laptop began to restart occasionally. Overheating is not the cause, sometimes randomly - even when I just turn on the laptop. I searched the net for the question and found that many laptops Toshiba have reboot problem. It seems that if the portable computer "thinks" it's overheating as sometimes it is not just a reboot, it stops, but leave the cooler work.

  Since there is no solution to the problem I just use the phone normally, ignoring the ocassional restarts. Sometimes, he would spend months before it restarts, sometimes it would happen a few times a day. Recently, it has started to happen a lot, so I decided to clean the laptop again to make it East of cooling perfectly. Coolers are clean and I applied a new thermal paste on the processor, chipset and graphics card. When I turned it on it has restarted several times and then it worked fine for a few days.

  Today it restarted again, to be precise, he stops and left cooler work (although it was obviously not overheating). I turned it off by removing the battery and it works again, something I've done many times before, when this happens - usually it stops just restart later. But this time it would be closed again, I turned and he left like that for awhile.

  And here's the last problem, something that has never happened before. Now when I turn on the turn it restarts immediatelyover and more. It goes no further than the toshiba welcome screen I can see briefly.

  I tried a few things to eliminate a potential cause of this problem:
  -It works with or without battery
  -removed the optical drive
  -removed HARD drive
  -removed/changed the order of the RAM chips

  It just keeps restarting, so as much as I think the problem might be connected with:
  -power - maybe my diet started to malfunction about a year ago when this problem started, and it's completely broke down somewhere now?
  -battery - it is a lot (it's on about 40% of the original force), this could be the problem? But, the tour should work without the battery at all, so I don't see how
  -motherboard - something could be broken on the motherboard, this case, it is virtually impossible to find and repair the fault
  -temperature sensors - they are showing the correct time but since the round is underway down to 'cool', there is perhaps a problem that makes the tour think it is overheating. If this is the case, is it possible to disable the detectors somehow?

  If you have experience with something similar or tips please answer. As it is, it seems that I can just recover the removable parts and throw everything in the garbage :-/

  HELO drool

  Long story. What to say? Friend of mine has Satellite M40 for a year now and it still works fine without any serious problems. May be time to cleaning it but he must know what he wants to do with his laptop.

  In any case when the is in your sentence followed by validation
  > so I decided to clean the laptop again so that it cools perfectly. Coolers are clean and I applied a new thermal paste on the processor, chipset and graphics card.
  is there for me, end of story. Laptop has been opened, no one knows what you did exactly, did you all following some manuals.

  Sorry but I do not see a solution for you. Or you can ask for professional help and pay for it or sell the laptop on eBay. Please do not throw it garbage. ;) earn money with it.
