• M40-129 linux acpi problem

  Hey everybody...

  during the last days I installed linux gentoo on my m40-129 - everything was going well until I tried to run the ACPI.
  can't use the ipw2200 wirless card shipped in combination with a kernel acpi. It fails from the 2200 with "impossible to send a TX_POWER command. Disable acpi in the kernel solves this problem, but a laptop computer without acpi is completely unnecessary...

  is there something wrong with the acpi table or is this a bug in the acpi kernel sources?

  Thanks guys...

  Hi jens
  Unfortunately Toshiba don t support the Linux OS and each user should seek only solution. I found an interesting link where a Linux user describes how to handle this problem. Please check on http://www.linuxforum.com/linux_tutorials/22/1.php

  Good luck!

• Satellite M40-129 - speed WLAN

  I have
  -Satellite M40-129: Centrino PM730 / Win XP Home / 15.4
  -Intel BIOS: Version 1.20 / 1.05.41
  -WIFI: Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection, Version 9.0.1.9
  -Connection to the Internet by the provider Arcor 1Mbit / Germany

  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?

  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 M40-129 and drivers Win7

  Hello

  I just installed Win7 on my Toshiba Satellite M40-129. It was really hard... Windows refuses to complete the installation until I deleted pcmcia.sys in the windows system folder.

  Now I have the problem that my pcmcia cardbus is working nor my SD card reader. As soon as I ask for Win7 to update driver PCMCIA, the doesn´t of the computer unbootable until I have again to remove pcmcia.sys.

  Now my question: I can live with having one for not working the PCMCIA port, but there all the drivers available for windows 7 and the Cardbus SD?

  Thank you very much.

  Technohead

  This old Satellite is not supported for Win7 and you won't find any driver for it. It is not easy to configure the hardware on these old books but Win7 has good drivers base and, after several Microsoft updates most of the equipment must be installed correctly.

  What you can try is to try to install the driver designed for another model of laptop. Perhaps satellite A100 or Satellite A200. I put t know if this will help but you can test it in any case.

• Need Soundcarddriver for M40 - 129

  Hello

  I can't use the preinstalled in Windows XP HOME (some network and management Funktion I need are not in XP HOME) and so I installed the Version of XP PROFESSIONAL.
  Now, I need the Soundcarddriver (SoundMAX) for my M40-129 (not M40x).
  On the drivers here is only the software for virtual sound, but is not the driver, only a tool for Soundenhancing.
  Any tips?

  Thank you. And sorry for my bad English, ich, hope you understand my problem.

  Hi 2Toshi,

  Have you tried to install XP Prof with the recovery CD? I think this should work, because it is a complete picture of Toshiba. No additional drivers to install.

  Good bye

• Satellite M40-129: PCMCIA card does not work with Linux

• Does anyone have experiences with Windows Vista on a Satellite M40-129?

  Hello
  does anyone have experiences with Windows Vista (Business) on an M40-129? Any suggestions on the proper drivers and advice are welcome.

  Best regards
  Sascha

  Hello

  I have an owner of the M40 motorway m but I didn t install Vista on my laptop.
  Why? good Vista needs a lot more material resources like the XP.
  In addition many additional applications that are running on my system are not compatible with Vista.
  Last but not lease I didn t find the drivers of Toshiba for the M40 on the Web site.

  I think that the drivers Vista missing on the page is not a problem serious because important factors as driver graph, sound driver, lan and Wlan driver can be downloaded from the website of chip manufacturing.

  Anyway, if you want to install Vista on your M40 I would create an additional partition and install the OS on the second partition.
  In this case, you can use the two BONES; XP and Vista.

  To my knowledge the Vista installs a clean boot manager and it should be very easy to switch between XP and Vista.

  Best regards

• Satellite M40-129 Harddrive Bluescreen Error

  Hello
  I got a M40-129 last year, created 2 Partitions and installed XP Pro SP2. Everything worked very well, but a few months I drive hard-error-Bluescreens. When I run Chkdsk afterwards, I get messages about bad securities Index or orphan data segments (translated from German). Normally I reinstall my laptop then go to a backup Image and all is well again. But these errors occurring weekly/daily now.

  I called the support, but I was told that the support would be only grab the laptop and see if the problem still occurs. But that's what I'm already doing. Is it possible to fix this?

  Best regards

  P.S Partition Magic shows my a score of 88 Type which is big 204 MB. Any idea what this score is used?

  Hello

  First something about your partition hidden.
  The M40-129 Sat was delivered with the Media Express Player.
  This player is pre-installed on the hidden partition.

  Well, HARD disk system errors and the file can result from a variety of problems, such as hardware failures, outages of electricity, poor system maintenance, virus and human error.

  When you run Chkdsk with parameters, such as / f / / r, Chkdsk repair errors related to file system structures.

  I recommend the Microsoft information page. Here, you will find many useful information about HARD drive failure and why this happens.

• Adapter Satellite M40 - 129 Centrino PM730

  Hello

  I have the portable 'Satellite M40 - 129 Centrino PM730' computer
  I need a 2nd power adapter, because I'm working on 2 places (and I'm lazy to wear)
  The one I have is model Liteon: PA-1750-08.
  (1) is the only model that works, and that another one would also work?
  (2) I want to buy it online, what other adapters are also compatible for my laptop.
  I have no idea for the "key words" I can search in google or ebay?
  (Currently the results I get for my research are not so good.)
  (3) for example, I found Liteon model: PA-1650-02. This would also work with my laptop, is there any mapping?

  Thank you
  Aykut

• Big problem with m40 129 (memory and sd card)

  Hello
  A week ago I bought the last m40 129 of the saturn store in Düsseldorf, Germany. Because I speak not German I formatted the laptop and installed my version of prof. under ms Windows XP license. After installation, I was checking the system information and I discovered that system memory is 512 MB! After you have installed all the drivers and the service Pack 2 of xp memory count has not changed. I checked the bios, it is always the same.
  The other problem is the sd card slot, even I installed the necessary drivers, it does not work. As I'm living, in the Netherlands, I don't know what to do. Please give help.
  Nice look

  Hello

  As far as I know, the set comes with 1 024 MB RAM. Please check the specifications of the laptop. I hope that the aircraft was properly packed and you're the first person who opened the package. Otherwise contact the seller and try to check what can be the problem. You can also contact partner in your country, and they can check if there is some malfunction of the equipment.

  In my opinion that you n t need no matter what BIOS update. CD Tools & Utilities is not supplied with this unit. Each user must make one his. I hope you did a. The problem is that the drivers installation must be done in the right order. If you use the CD of tools there must be a description of how to do it on the right track.

  To use DVD-RAM, it must also be installed DVD-RAM driver. Like I said check the CD of tools if you have made a. There must be a single html file with explanation how to do this.

• When I'm playing games like Fifa07 Satellite M40-129 freezes

  When ia´m to play games like Fifa07 my phone freezes from time to time. I have a Satellite M40-129 with the latest version of the driver 6.14.10.6525.

  I get the error message (German): http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/2337/grafikkartentreiberdf9.png

  Dxdiag: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/2250/grakatreiberup4.jpg

  Isn't there anything I can do to avoid those who freezes.

  Hi Sascha

  Is the laptop freezes only when you play this special game or it freezes by other applications, games, etc?
  Don t know exactly why it happens, but if the laptop freezes only during playback the Fifa07 then it might be a problem of compatibility of graphics driver with this game.

  Do you use the graphics driver for the Toshiba page?

• Satellite M40-129 has blue screen error again

  Hello world
  I already had a lot of trouble with my laptop-Toshiba (see http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=12490&messageID=45526) and now it's broken again. The HARD drive has been replaced by Toshiba-Support in August 2006. Until yesterday, everything worked fine, but then I got a blue screen again. This time the HARD drive seems to be completely broken and lost iss data. The Toshiba Recovery DVD tells me 'Check' errors for a drive partition and other boot floppies like BartPE, HardAlyzer or the Acronis boot CD tell me that they can not find any HARD disk.

  Toshiba warranty has expired, but is there at least a guarantee on the HARD drive has changed? Otherwise, it is difficult to replace the HARD drive?

  Best regards from a disappointed user of Toshiba
  Sascha

  Hi Sascha,

  Sorry to hear about your hard drive problems. However, replace the hard drive is very simple on the M40. In my view, it is located under a Panel to access the bottom of the unit. Just remove the two screws fixing the Panel and then slide the drive away from the connector and remove. There are a few photos showing this here:-http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaM45/Satellite_M45_disassembly_1.htm

  Kind regards

• Satellite M40 - 129 (German model)

  You have 3 questions before you buy this model:
  (a) want to install WIN XP Pro SP2, all supplied drivers function 100% or do I have to download separate drivers?
  (b) have read in another Forum that the speakers make crackling noises, it's because of hardware or software problem.
  (c) the manual says internal XYZ of Intel graphics card of 128 MB, ATI X 600 external (and other modelst)
  What this means for the internal display (TFT screen) the graphics card ATI isn't all involved only a few shared Intel graphics?
  Thanks for the Info

  Hi zulo

  In my opinion there is no way to change the battery for M40. Any form of battery for laptop model hat.
