• Satellite A40: Question about upgrade from the DVD UJ-850

  Hello

  I have a satellite A40, I recently installed a new motherboard to. Everything now works perfectly, and I plan to change the CDRW/DVD drive to a dvd burner.

  The current player is a panasonic-UJDA750. I intend to replace it with a UJ-850 for the dvd burner. Could someone please advise whether it is a good drive to go to any other suggestion and if I need different drivers for the drive to work or is it just a straight swap out.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  Before you buy a slim drive you must be sure that this drive is compatible with the Satellite A40.
  There is a big difference between external drives for desktop PCs and laptops.
  The master/slave/c-salt settings on slim drives are fixed and cannot be changed.

  If you buy a slim with wrong settings drive, the BIOS does not recognize the drive and you'll get an error IDE #1.

  I recommend that you contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask guys for compatible DVD burner for you A40.

  As a reader of DVD-R/RW compatible, you can use the Toshiba SD-R6112 or drive Pioneer G8CC0001L810 drive.
  I also found some readers of DVD-Multi (CD-R/RW DVD-RAM/R/RW) compatible:
  Panasonic G8CC00019810
  TEAC G8CC00013810

  Sorry for the strange number, but I guess these are the numbers of Toshiba.
  Try google. You may find a full name.

• Satellite A40-151: how to enter the BIOS settings?

  Hello...

  I'm on Toshiba Satellite A40-151 the DVD for this broken but this isn't worth it.
  The problem is that I can't enter the setup (BIOS) to boot from a different boot device, or I do not now how to enter.

  Help, please

  Hello

  I think you have a Toshiba BIOS.
  In this case you must press the ESC key immediately after the laptop has been powered. Try to press the button several times

  By the way; You can also use the F12 key to get the boot menu.
  Then you could easily choose your boot device
  This also works

• How to change RAM on Satellite A40 - 151

  My laptop Satellite A40-151 contains 256 MB of Ram with XP. It has become extremely slow because of microsoft recent service pack updates.

  It is impossible to make this work more quickly.
  Could someone please suggest me how can I move my ram to 1 GB. Is it supported to upgrade.

  Please I guide me otherwise I can't use this system more.

  Hello

  Yesterday, the same thing happened to me. Windows has received all MS patches and updates and the laptop everything was not more usable.
  It was amazing, slow but after several hours, I managed to install all the updates and now everything works fine.

  Laptop you can be upgraded up to 2GB. This is possible. If you want to use max 1 GB I recommend using 2 x 512 MB modules.
  You use PC2100 200 pin memory (266 MHz) DDR SODIMM!

  You will find the detailed description in your user manual I hope ;)

  But I'll post here a small instruction:
  The modules are hidden under the keyboard!

  -Disconnect all cables and remove the battery
  -Slide the latch of the screen at the front of the computer to the right and open the display panel
  -Insert a thin object under the edge of the brace of keyboard and lift them from the orthosis
  -remove the 2 screws of the keyboard and a screws of the metal structure and raise the metal structure
  -Remove the keyboard carefully (the keyboard is connected to the card cable in water. Make sure you do not apply a voltage of this cable and do not attempt to unplug this cable!)
  -lift in the sheet of insulation left on the memory module
  -Insert a new module into the slot and gently push it downwards so that it lies flat and is fixed by two locks on each side.

  Good luck ;)

  Hello

  Well, the best way is to ask the service partner Toshiba for compatible readers and supported.
  The fact is that if you buy a non compatible drive BIOS will not recognize this device.
  I found some information on the internet and it seems these drives should work.
  Toshiba SD-R6112 DVD-R /-RW and Pioneer G8CC0001L810 DVD +-RW

  But I'm sure that you'll get a drive compatible and right service in your country.

• Want to play DVDs on Satellite A40-151

  My d drive plays music CD but dvd makes just one beep do I need to play dvd CDs

  I'm a bit confused of m.
  You ask: what do I need read CD DVD

  You want to play the DVD or what?
  I put t found information on Satellite A40-151, but on the A40-141
  But I guess there is no difference between the models of theses.

  However, according to the news reader supports these media:
  CD - R (RW), CD - RW (read/re-write), CD,
  DVD-ROM (read-only), DVD-R (read only), DVD - RW (read only), DVD - RAM (read-only)

  Don't forget that you put media to DVD + t use because these DVDs are not compatible
  Also if you want to watch DVDs you must use an application like WinDVD or Power DVD, etc.

• Satellite A350-12J said to insert the DVD + "this is a system error.

  I recently bought a toshiba Satellite A350-12J...
  The computer tells you to insert the DVD + this is a system error...

  Please insert the DVD - disks to perform backup of the recovery disks.
  I hope it is of some help, I am now almost bald of pulling my hair!

  Hello

  You are not able to boot the system? Or what?
  What happens if you press F8 immediately after the laptop was turned on?
  You then see the start menu?

  If you can access the advanced boot menu, then you could try using the option called last good known Configuration (Advanced).

  If this will not help and you will not be able to restart the laptop then choose fix my computer-> Toshiba HDD recovery and reinstall the OS using the Toshiba HDD recovery option.

• Error satellite A40-SP151 - compatibility of the writer DL, DVD - RW - ide #1

  Hello
  Can anyone add to the list of * of compatible DVD burners for Satellite A40-SP151 *.
  Googling readers listed previously, they seemed to be just DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo.
  Download
  Toshiba G8CC0000R810
  Hitachi G8CC00015810
  TEAC G8CC0001D810
  HITACHI G8CC0001K810

  Toshiba SDR2412OAA

  I'm trying to upgrade to a DL, DVD - RW disc.

  I can confirm KD08 Pioneer and Panasonic UJ - 850 FWv1.10 are _not_ compatible, this last, I can't find any firmware for (trying to swap master / slave settings)... (Don't want to mess with the pioneer)

  I think the Ref. TOSHIBA DVD-RW/CD-RW COMBO SD-R6112 is compatible, if anyone can confirm this?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think that all of the list found in the manual of use of Satellite A40-SP151.
  In my (not for the A40) user manual I could find compatible ratings

• Re: Satellite A40-151 - HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  Following my previous thread (where the hard drive from the A40-151 has been slow and most later made a terrible noise and ultimately did not appear in the bios).

  I would replace the drive. I went to the store today and the available drive capacity was well beyond the 30 GB Toshiba MK3021GAS unit. Started 80 GB up to 250 GB. I'm a little worried about the extra power, the speed, the conditions of heat and weather the BIOS recognizes it. Ideally, I would like to find a new MK3021GAS unit. The guy in the store seemed to think that it would be unlikely that someone would still do 30 GB (I guess than the IDE 2.5 "HDD) readers might therefore have to go down for a refurbished drive.

  Are there specific readers (speed, capacity, etc.) that do not work with the laptop?

  I'm suspicious to a repairer for Toshiba because the age of the laptop the labor costs can exceed the value of the laptop. However accept what are probably the only people to carry the part.

  Kind regards
  Ashley.

  Hey,.

  You re right. Satellite A40 uses s HARD drive with older IDE interface. This means that you need a new 2.5 HDD with IDE interface.

  As far as I know on the old IDE interface there is a limitation of LBA 28 bits and this means that the laptop can only manage hard disks up to 128 GB. So if you buy a larger HARD drive, you pay for the disk space you can use t.

  So I recommend a 120 GB model or less. It should work properly! :)

• Satellite A40-151: cannot install the site of Intel display driver

  Try to update the display on the A40-151 driver. Have downloaded the latest driver from Intel, which States very useful ' you cannot install this driver, contact your provider "no more clues.

  Toshiba site only seems to have the 6.13.10.3514 version which is the same as the one that came with the machine. I am so stuck with no upgrade possible?

  The current driver seems not to be 100% compatible with Directx 9 .0c * sigh *.

  Hello

  Which Intel graphics card has been installed on your laptop?
  It's an Intel 852GME 16 to 64 MB shared memory graphics card?

  I found friendly informative on the Intel page and it seems that the material of the graphics card does not support DirectX9, but only the DirextX7 and the DirecttX8

  The graphics driver for the Intel page will not help you.
  First of all you will not be able to install it because it s is not designed for the use of computer Toshiba laptop and secondly the hardware does not support.

  But I give you advice if you are looking for an earlier version of the driver.
  Some laptops use the same graphics card. Try to find the driver in series of various Notebooks with the same graphic card.
  But the new facility is going to change anything. The DirectX 9 API is not supported
