• Power adapter for Toshiba Satellite M40X 129

  Hello guys,.
  hope this is the right forum to post my question in:

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X 129 (model No.: PSM4XE-01600CGR). My adapter is buggered so I need to get a new one. Bought the machine in Germany, now am in Tasmania / Australia. Being in a camp of the Valley remote until April, I won´t be able to go into a store with my laptop to try and understand, that the AC adapter / CC is suitable. We have internet here as our only communication, it is very important for me that sort.

  Can someone tell me, what type of adapter / power supply is planned or where to look?

  The one I ve been before is a LITEON, part No.: PA3432U-1AC3, model n °: PA-1750-09, input: 100-240V, 50-60 Hz, 1. 5 a, output: 19V, 3. 95 a.

  Thanks for your help and have a nice day
  Peter

  Adapters for your Satellite are:
  PA3432U-1ACA
  PA3432U-1AC3
  PA3432C-1AC3.

  Put this number in Google and you will find very precise specifications.

  By the way: If you already have the old adapter specifications I put t understand why you need some additional info. If there is no possibility to buy again until April, how do you get a new one?
  Sorry, but I m confused.

• Error and warning before and after the POST - Satellite M40X 129

  Hello

  I use a Satellite M40X-129, bought in 2005.
  After you have reinstalled Windows and all the necessary drivers (after more than 3 years, which was the longest time I used a windows ;-)) installation this afternoon, I meet the following situation when starting):

  (... check and all the stuff of ram...)
  Updated System Configuration data
  ERROR
  0271: check date and time
  WARNING
  0251: System CMOS checksum bad - default configuration used
  Press to resume, installation

  When I press F1 to resume, windows starts very well as I'm used to it.
  I can also access the configuration and need to update the time setting.

  Two scenarios:
  (a) the startup, shutdown, reboot: error message happen
  (b) setting the time, out of the bios with save the configuration, boot, very well until the stop/restart is required

  I tried to download the update of the bios to v1.60, but the configuration tool told me that this version is already in use and it will not progress.

  What I wondered: why is it happening? I don't think that the battery power is low, which was suggested to others in other threads, because it happened just after I installed the chipset/utils and other drivers from the toshiba download page.

  What can I do?

  -Bios update? -> Where can I find a new version? A tool (which I downloaded from a site linked to Phoenix Technologies) told me, there is an update for my Bios, but he wants me to join a subscription $29.99 / year

  -Swap CMOS battery? -> how remove m40x-129, tutorials? Don't want no f * ck it upwards...

  any other advice?

  Thanks for your help.
  Best regards

  Hello

  I think that the CMOS battery may be empty and therefore both a given in the BIOS is always changing the default value.

  Usually, you should be able to recharge this battery CMOS very easily.
  The user manual describes how to load this. Take a look at your manual

  As I m not wrong not the laptop must be ON and running and must be connected to the mains for more than 20hours.
  Then, the notebooks BIOS battery needs to be recharged again.

  Check it out!

  Good bye

• Satellite M40X-129: fans works with a maximum return on Vista

  Hello

  I have the laptop M40X 129 for 2 years and am very satisfied in this regard.
  But since the last few weeks, I have problems with the cooler.
  If I use a 3d task in the lower first 45, that the system works without any problem.
  But his is warming a heater and cooler will then maximum (you can hear it).

  From this moment, the system becomes very slow. I run the system with the highest maximum power and use windows vista professional.
  The laptop feels too hot on the underside (ram?).

  Is it possible to run the cooler from the start at a higher level, for example in the bios or in windows (some options?)?

  I hope you can help me,
  Flo

  Hi Flo

  Usually, there is nothing wrong with your laptop. If the internal temperature rises to a higher level, the cooling modules have to perform with maximum efficiency to lower the temperature!
  While the temperature is high the graphic driver Toshiba decrease the performance of the graphics card in order to avoid a temperature rise.
  That is why the laptop could run slowly!

  What you could do is check the cooling fans and if necessary try to clean with a compressed air jet professional. These aerosols can be purchased from the merchant to the computer.

  However, please note that the installed Vista is in need of more computer resources as the beginning s MS Windows operating system. All devices like CPU and GPU with superior performance and so the temperature is higher with Vista as using other Windows OS such as XP.

• How to clean the radiator Satellite A210 - 11 p?

  I've had this laptop for quite some time now and I noticed that the fan becomes strong enough. I'm sure that there is dust pilling room in there, even if I tried to vacuum the dust through the hole. Is there a guide to I disassemble the laptop and actually clean the radiator and the fan? Or is it possible to clean without taking it apart? Please guide. Thanks in advance for the help!

  You must not open or should not disassemble the laptop because first of all, this procedure is very delicate and not easy, and second, you will lose the warranty!
  In my opinion it s not worth losing the warranty and to laptops risk of damage.
  Such procedure should be made by a certified maker Toshiba.

  But if you don t want to send the laptop to the ASP in your country, then you can try to clean the cooling modules with a professional air spray. These sprays are designed to clean the portable fans and can be purchased at the other computer and laptop dealers. I bought a set of cleaning of an online store and it s very useful

  I recommend you research a little in the internet for good deals.
  Best regards

• Satellite M40X-129: where is the second RAM?

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop. Since I closed it last time when the battery was empty I can´t start Notepad again. I'm getting a signal from the BIOS. 1-3-3-1 is the beep code. So, I think, I have an error with either of my two 512MB - RAM.

  Yesterday I opened the hood of the laptop at the undersite and removed the 512 MB of RAM. Then I tested the laptop again - but the beep code is the same.

  Today, as I searched the second 512 MB of RAM under the keyboard, but I didn t found the second RAM.

  Can someone tell me how I can reach the second 512 MB of RAM?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Martin

  Hello

  a friend of mine has a similar machine and we exchanged the two modules. If you have no warranty on that then it s no problem machine to do what I say to you:
  Right you´re the second RAM is under the keyboard, but after removing the keyboard, unscrew a small cover that appears after lifting the keyboard. This bit of cover and the second RAM will appear.

  Good luck

• Satellite M40x 129 No. by download drivers

  The laptop comes with Windows XP Home. I installed Windows XP Professional and now I'm looking for drivers because the Toshiba Site offers only 2 updates to the Bios. (Unbelivable, but true)

  I would be glad if someone could help me:
  I need to know exactly what Audio and adapters are integrated by Intel so I can get on the Intel site.

  Thank you
  Philipp

  Hello

  Tom is quite right. It is also possible that you have no CD tools as on pre-installed unit, it is possible to create CD tools only. If you are interested in how to do it, you will find this option in favour of the TOSHIBA Protect & fix.

• How to clean the fan / vent of the HP dv6?

  I searched on google and youtube, but videos and instructions I see only explains how to replace the fan.

  In addition, the forums here have no response

  Then...

  How to clean fan vents and air of the HP dv6

  I was shocked to see how much I have in my fan using a walk by torchlight in the dust. But unlike my old laptop where u just have to remove 1 or 2 pieces of the laptop, I see no way to get cleaned fan or even ventilation grids clean this HP dv6-4000!

  How you actually do it? You actually disassemble the laptop? my computer is less than 3 years guarantee n taking apart = void the warranty. =

  Hello

  1. Air to compress in the RCA would not damage the fan
  2. I don't think that clean the laptop while it is up and running is a good idea.

  Kind regards.

• M40X-129: the two usb ports on the right does not work

  Hello people.

  Two days ago, I bought a satellite m40x-129. I wanted to use a usb mouse and a drive hard usb so I had to plug the device into a a usbport on the right side of the laptop, but is does not work.
  even after reinstalling with windows xp pro (I need to connect to a primary domain controller) has not changed. I installed all the drivers of the tool-cd burned by a toshiba tool in the original installation.
  Maybe it's a hardware fault. someone else has the same problem?

  Thanks, jens

  today I updated my drivers for the new 7 series chipset from intel, but the usb ports on the right still have no power and do not recognize any device.
  I'll ge see my local dealer Monday ;)

• Satellite M40X - the noise of the fan

  Hi all.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X - 161 (PSM4XE).

  I had this problem with the fan of the computer running all the time and make a lot of noise because I bought a few years ago.
  Once I had the fan cleaned in the shop of service it was ok for a few days, and then he started again.

  Is there a solution for this problem? I read that Toshiba has released new versions of BIOS that solve this problem, but for laptops with ATI/nVidia video cards.

  I have an Intel card. Is there something for my model, and someone has fixed this?

  Hello

  Is not a friend of the problem.

  The cooling modules must be cleaned periodically. It s not enough clean the fans only once the dust appears more if it s necessary to regularly clean the cooling modules.

  You should also take a look in the power of the Windows operating system options.
  Most of the time it possible s control of the CPU performance and cooling performance that would reduce noise and fan activity.

• How to clean the cooling on Satellite Pro 6100 module?

  Since my laptop for some reason stop (explained in my last post), I read messages from others who are similar to my problem and some of the responses that they was that they must clean the cooling with a vacuum (vacuum) module.

  So I was wondering how to clean it and where is it? (I m not an expert on computers)

  Hello
  I am not owner of a Satellite Pro 6100 but I saw this laptop on several pictures and it seems that the fans are placed at the rear near the CC.
  If you try to vacuum dust and debris from these grids of fans.

  I found also found a very detailed instruction how to remove and open the Satellite Pro 6100. http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba6100/Toshiba_Satellite_Pro6100_dismantle_1.htm

  BUT if you have no experience, you must do it yourself. The best way to ask someone who knows what to do!

• Equium A60-155: how to clean the fan?

  This isn't a problem as such, more than one request. How do you clean the fan? A litle while ago my laptop kept turning off itself, and it turned out to be part of the problem I the fan was clogged so I was wondering if anyone knew how to clean so I can myself sorting in case it happens again. Thanx

  Hi Jemma,

  The problem is that dust is sucked into the fans and is then trapped in the radiator CPU effectively blocks.

  A good way os compensation this accumulation of dust is to use a hose of vacuum cleaner against the aspiration air grills so that dust is sucked in. Just put the hose against the grids of aspiration air for a few seconds and block any gaps around the pipe with a cloth.

  Kind regards
