• Equium L40 - 10z PSL41E - cannot install audio driver WinXP

  Hello!

  I'm having a problem with the installation of the Windows XP sound card drivers

  Computer laptop informatio, Toshiba Equium L40 - 10z (bought from PC World) PSL41e
  2 GB Ram DDR2 - 667 Mhz
  Core 2 [email protected]
  120 GB hard drive
  Intel GMA 945 graphics card with shared memory

  I can't find drivers for my laptop, the specification is indicated above. I have windows XP with service pack 3 installed and the system is unable to install drivers Realtek High Defination or audio drivers Realtek AC 97 ". I even tried the latest drivers version 1.86 but not its use.

  I read the other posts on this forum and have tried the other model audio drivers as well, it seems that after running the installer from several other realtek audio drivers for windows XP THAT is of no use. I even tried to add material manually through the Device Manager and have to install these drivers for realtek high definition audio and the realtek ac 97 audio drivers.

  Of course, this helps the drivers to install, but windows cannot activate the material with an error code 10 with a note of explanation on behalf of the driver in Device Manager.

  I also tried to install the drivers of toshiba A100/A200 without exploitation, however, I read somewhere that there is a windows XP patch that is required to be installed, so that windows detect the chip high definition, which is on the motherboard. If one can provide a direct link to a driver with the .inf file that will have the information for the material, or if someone can advise (or provide a link for) according to microsoft update is required for windows XP, in the appropriate hardware detection, will be really useful.

  I'm also sorry for my bad English I'm unable to articulate with the type of problem, I faced. But if anyone knows of a solution and additional information is needed, I will be happy to provide you with everything I know.

  I'll be very grateful to anyone who helps address this issue. Looking forward to a positive response :).

  > have windows XP with service pack 3 installed
  To my knowledge, that the XP SP3 is not published official. Only a beta version is available.
  Then go back to SP2!

  > the system cannot install drivers Realtek High Defination or Realtek AC' 97 audio drivers
  Realtek AC 97 audio driver is not compatible! You must use the driver from Realtek High definition.

  > Of course, it helps the drivers to install, but windows cannot activate the material with an error code 10 with a note of explanation on behalf of the driver in Device Manager.

  The problem is that you have not installed the MS XP patches that are necessary to get the sound working.

• Is it possible to install windows XP on Equium L40-156

  Hi, I want to install windows XP on my laptop. Is it possible to do? and where can I get drivers?

  Hello

  Of course, it is possible to install XP on this laptop.
  I checked the official website of Toshiba and found the Equium L40-156 belongs to the series of PSL49!
  This serial number is important for Xp compatible drivers from the European pilot of Toshiba page.

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  On this page you can find a driver XP for you laptop package!

  The update of the BIOS is very important. If you want to use XP on this laptop Vista you must update the BIOS to version XP!
  Some features of Toshiba as FN keys could not work without the good BIOS!

• Equium L40-10 X - cannot install Windows

  Hi all

  First post real but existed under and turned off for a while. I hope someone here can help!

  I have a Toshiba laptop Equium L40-10 x computer with a strange problem. He came me second user with the problem already so I don't know any history other than what I tried. When you start the machine it comes up with an error TRAP 00000006 exception and stops. The hard drive has been low-level formatted, formatted and partitioned and has nothing on this subject. The memory has been replaced and confirmed functional. When you try to use the recovery cd (F12 at startup), it goes to the menu option select boot, I select the CD player, and he made some noises and then the error message appears. I also tried a WIN XP and WIN Vista CD with the same effect.

  Googling the problem seems to suggest problems NTLDR or memory but drive has nothing on this matter and memory was tested and upheld the fine.

  Other possibilities are the drive CD or BIOS. BIOS version 2.10 and I know the available BIOS is 2.30 but unable at present to find a way to upgrade the bios. I have a USB floppy drive available.

  So, that's the problem, any thoughts?

  Thank you

  This is strange, but I think that this problem could be caused by a faulty HARD drive.

  So I would test the drive with the Drive Fitness Test:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With this tool, you can test the HARD drive. Download the CD image on this website, burn it to a CD or DVD and then boot from it.
  There is also a user guide if you want to know more about it.

  Hello :)

  I hope you can help me, got a little problem.

  I have a portable Equiem which has XP Home Edition (SP3) on him now (originally Vista)

  Major problems with the drivers out there. There seems to be a lack of fair bit and I can't chase them.

  * There is no sound at all
  * Wireless does not work now, only works with a cable
  * Missing modem drivers

  In total there are about 6 or 7 missing, but those are the most important.

  Any ideas where I can find them?

  Laptop:

  L40 - 10Z / T2080 (Toshiba Satellite)

  Cheers in advance!

  Hello

  Equium L40 - 10Z belongs to the series of PSL41E.
  I didn t find Win XP driver on the European driver page, but AFAIK the Equium L40 supports the card Atheros Wlan, ADI AD1986A audio chip and Agere Delphi modem chip.

  Driver WLAN can be found here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  But you should google and research on some 3rd a prty pages for ADI AD1986A its chip driver and driver modem Agere Delphi

• How to install the sound drivers and graphics on my Equium L40 - 10Z?

  OK here is the deal, I have everything works pretty well except the sound. Its the map analog Inc. I have on this laptop and not the Realteck one. In my opinion, he's also under the name of SoundMAX. Summer looking for the driver on google for hours now, if someone can tell me if they have managed to get their functioning and how?

  Also on the graphics, I'm not fussed, but if anyone has any info on this, it would be great.

  Someone knows the specifications of the chip, card mother etc for this laptop, so I can download the drivers for the chipset.

  I use Windows XP Service Pack 3!

  Thank you

  Hello

  Sorry, but I must ask you this: why you n t use WXP drivers available on the Toshiba support page?
  I can see all the drivers of Windows XP Home edition are listed for Equium L40 under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

• Equium L40 is not connecting to internet

  The laptop comes up:
  Internet Explorer has stopped working
  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.

  It says it is connected to my wifi bt hub and has a signal strong.
  Why it will not connect either cable or WiFi?

  Any ideas.

  Hello Steven

  It is not easy to provide a response based on the description of your problem.
  If you use connection WLAN make sure wireless network adapter is installed, enabled and configured correctly.

  USB cable? What type of USB cable do you use?

• Equium L40-10 X - audio drivers do not work on Windows XP

  I recently reinstalled XP on my equium L40-10 x. Unfortunately, the audio drivers from the Toshiba support site does not work for me - are there other drivers that are known to work?
  I didn't load the available disks and need something on the net - link?

  Thank you.

  Hi cecilrosa,

  I n t have Equium L40 but I'm pretty sure that the audio drivers are working properly. The point is that you need to first install Service Pack 3 before you can install the audio driver.

  So to remove the current sound driver and install Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. After that, you can try reinstalling the audio driver.

  Check this box!

• Equium L40 - Vista won't start after installation of product recovery

  Hello

  I had to realize a product uses recovery provided restore disk on an Equium L40 computer laptop (PLS41). The recovery procedure done his job to the end, reformats and copy all the files and then restarts. Now the problem starts...
  The pc gets in front of the BIOS boot screen, then it goes completely black with only a cursor to underscore flashing in the upper corner of the screen. No HARD or CD-rom drive activity.

  I did the cover about ten times now. All with the same result. I tried the repair procedure using a Vista boot CD and I also tried using another disk supplied with the computer, anytime upgrade from Vista. Here they are without defects, see the hard drive and shows that the vista files are on it, also sees the winRE partition.

  I tired even fresh install from the disc at any time. It also reformats the disk, copies and decompresses all files needed, begins to install the updates on the disk and then said: he needs to restart. It restarts and goes to black screen with flashing underscore cursor. What happens if I press the 'coup of any key to boot from CD' or leave it to boot from the HARD drive.

  I tried to fix this for two days now, including endless hours of forum to research, the computer belongs to my friend gets very angry I am. I need help. No one knows how to fix?

  Hello

  According to your message, I think that the HARD drive is faulty.
  I think there's a defective recording of MBR (MBR) of the drive and therefore the laptop refuses to boot.

  One question; have you tried to set the BIOS default settings? If this is not the case, try this.

  If it doesn t help and the laptop still does not start upward, then you should ask ASP for verification.
  I think it s a problem of HARD disk and, possibly, the HARD drive must be replaced!

  Greetings

• Equium L40-10 X - hardware upgrade options

  Hi all, I hope someone can help me.

  I have a few problems that I wish to address with my laptop. The first is an overheating problem. Is there a cooling system that I can install to help with this problem?

  I know I can improve my RAM, I currently have only 1 GB, but I heard that I can have only a maximum of 2 GB. It is not a problem if that's true, but if I get more I would.

  Last thing I want to ask, is whether or not I can upgrade the internal memory, I currently have 120GB. If I is something I can do myself?

  I appreciate any help you can give

  Hey,.

  1 if you have overheating problems then just clean the cooling assembly. You need not just a new or better, cooler jet of compressed air. ;)
  [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

  2. Yes, you can upgrade the RAM to 2 GB. That s the maximum capacity for this model to Toshiba specifications.
  The part number for a 1 GB module is PA3512U-1M1G

  3. you can also upgrade the HARD drive, that s no problem.
  AFAIK Equium L40 supports SATA already then you can buy each HARD drive with this interface. There is no capacity limit.

  I hope I could help you :)

• Need USB drivers for old Equium L40 - 10U PSL41E running Vista 32-bit

  Hi all

  I think that my USB driver is corrupted. I found the ChipSet, LAN and BIOS drivers for my old PSL41E Equium L40 - 10U running Vista 32 bit. However, I have not found the USB drives I need. USB drivers are contained in the ChipSet, BIOS or LAN driver?

  If not, where can I find and download the USB drivers for my old old Equium L40 - 10U PSL41E running Vista 32 bit?

  Thank you! -Le Cannet

  Here is where I found the drivers (but with no mention of USB drivers):

  > Are contained in the ChipSet, BIOS or LAN USB drivers driver?

  USB drivers are part of the Windows operating system.
  The USB ports should work after the installation of the Windows operating system and, therefore, there is no such thing as a USB driver for the USB 2.0 standard.

  In addition, the chipset driver must be installed.

  I checked the proposed link in your ad and here, you can download the Intel chipset utility.
  The update of the BIOS is also available

  Hello

  Normally, you can get all the drivers on the Toshiba page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  I checked the page, and it seems that for Windows 7 not all drivers available. So, as you've already written that you can try the Vista driver because most of them are also work on Windows 7.
  An alternative, you can consult the Intel page. Maybe you can find a newer driver that was official published for Windows 7.

  If you n t know how to use this driver exactly, use the forum search. You will find hundreds of threads. ;)

• Equium L40-156: graphics card problem - error code 12 in Device Manager

  People of the night...

  Just got a family run Vista premium, Equium L40-156, everything is going well except a little problem with the display adapter (Mobile Intel 965).

  Tried the drivers that I had with the installer
  Tried the drivers from the toshiba download page
  Tried the drivers on the Microsoft Update site
  Tried the drivers from the website of intel

  All have the same problem, in Device Manager, it shows with an error (the pretty yellow triangle with the "!") with an error code 12 (the device cannot find enough free resources) even after a system resart.

  Switching view hidden devices displays a 2nd same device, but works correctly, but the two disappear if I try to delete either.
  Display settings do not display a connected device, DXDIAG had no idea either.

  Latest version of the BIOS installed, all other devices are very good and can not see an IO overlap anywhere

  Any suggestions, greatly appriciated

  Hello

  I have studied a little bit and looked on the Microsoft page for some answers and found out what exactly means the error code 12.

  ------------------------------------
  + Error code 12 +.

  + This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12) +.

  + Two devices are assigned the same i/o ports, the same interrupt, or the same Direct memory access channel (whether through BIOS, the operating system, or a combination of both). This error message may also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device (for example, if a (USB) universal serial bus controller is not an interruption of the BIOS because of a corrupt MPS (Multiprocessor) system table). +
  -------------------------------------

  Well, what to say; usually this error message should not appear with the original Toshiba preinstalled operating system.
  I put t know if you have changed something or add an additional device, but it would be very interesting to know if the same error message appears after the reinstallation of the OS.
  You can use the Toshiba Recovery CD/DVD of restoration!

  All the drivers, the tools are already preinstalled on the recovery CD so the entire procedure will not take very long. about 10 min.

  Check this box and report if the same error is displayed on the laptop with the factory settings!

  Good bye

• Equium L40 - 17 M - no charge battery on Windows 7

  Hi guys and girls. I'm at my wits end so any help would be great.

  I have a Toshiba Equium L40 - 17M. I installed Windows7 2 days and since then it has been giving me this message when I flew over the battery icon: pluged in but no charge please consider which battery
  It was fine when I was running the original Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Before I installed it, I did a check on the Microsoft Web site, and it said my computer would run fine on the 32-bit version and all programs would go now what happened?
  I was also on the Toshiba site to see if I need to get the software from them but in the Windows 7 upgrade part, there is no support for my laptop.

  Please could someone help me thanks.

  > I was also on the Toshiba site to see if I need to get the software from them but in the Windows 7 upgrade part, there is no support for my laptop.
  That's the point. You use unsupported operating systems. He will be supported in the future and until you accept that something don't work properly.
  I'm sure that battery is charging correctly, but there is a problem with the information you get in Win7.

  Leave it on the adapter for 3 hours and let me know if your battery is completely discharged or not if you unplug the power plug.

• Uninstalled realtek ok Equium L40 wireless driver

  My son for some unknown reason a uninstalled/wiped out the program wireless Realtek on Equium L40 - 17 m.
  Now, it can not connect to the internet via Wi - Fi, so I tried with the Ethernet cable but still cannot establish a connection. I have downloaded the driver Realtek Toshiba site on a key but still t may establish a connection.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Maybe stupid question now but do you know how the driver should be installed properly?
  Can you please open the Device Manager and tell us if it's listed some unknown device.

  LAN or WLAN cards are installed properly, they must be listed under network adapters.
