  However, after a reboot, the PC is not booting. A blue screen appears with a message that "Windows cannot be started due to some problems. Please check viruses or hard drive '.

• How to add the monitor external resolutionon Satellite A40

  Hello

  I wonder if someone could help me with this. I tried to connect my Satellite A40 to my LCD TV using the external monitor output. However, it seems that the only available screen resolutions are all for 4:3 screens. I checked using "List all Modes" on advanced options, but there is no large indicated resolutions.

  The laptop has Intel 82855 chipset and I tried to update the drivers, but the update process fails saying the drivers is updated.

  Does anyone know how I can add the widescreen resolutions, mainly of 1366 x 768, so that I can use the LCD screen as a monitor.

  Thanks in advance,

  OS.

  You may not use a screen resolution wide if the graphics driver does not support your favorite resolution settings!
  Some external wide screens are supplied with an additional CD and drivers.
  It allows to include the resolutions that are supported by the external display.

  But note; The GPU must support this too. If the graphics card does not support this resolution then it will not be possible to select.

  Then one more again; to use the preferred resolution the GPU + GPU driver and external monitor must support!

• No standby extended when the cover closed on Satellite A40

  Hello

  I'm new to this forum and hope someone can be able to help.
  My Satellite A40 suffered a hard drive failure and I installed a new drive and to install Windows XP on drive.

  Everything works well except for the shares when the lid is closed.
  Blanks the screen but Windows continues to operate.

  I installed the power saver Tosiba, however, options drop-down menu in the configuration, (when I close the lid) don't box display only no Action. It's the same thing in Windows Power Options.

  Of course the lid closed sensor works, but I am at a loss as to where other options are passed in the Toshibe Power Saver and Windows Power Options Properties.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I think that the Hibernate mode is not enabled:
  Go to start? Settings? Control Panel. Make sure you have open Classic view, and then open Power Options
  In the properties of Power Options window, chose the last tab called Hibernate.

  If you are not able to see the Hibernate tab, and then Hibernate is probably not supported on your laptop. But if its visible, so you must check the option called activate the hibernation

  Click on apply or OK, and then restart Windows XP

• How to activate the resolution wide on external monitor on Satellite A40-261

  Hi all
  I have a Satellite A40 laptop and just bought an external display. I find only normal resolutions in the area of comprehensive property. Is it possible to expand the range of wide screen resolutions?

  Best regards, Leander

  Hello guys.

  First of all, I would like to say a few words on the screen resolutions.
  Mainly the resolution of certain is not available because the resolution is not listed in the graphics driver. In other words, if the driver doesn't support this resolution so you will not be able to choose.

  We try to look at a few:
  @BKV
  You have a Satellite M100. As you say that this laptop is equipped with an ATI card.
  Have you checked the settings in the ATI catalyst? Go to display properties and choose Advanced Options. Here, you choose the tab of ATI catalyst.

  New window should open, and you should see the ATU catalyst control center.
  Check the option display the Advanced view display. Check this area. Maybe the resolution is available here.

  @Lea
  This unit uses the graphics card Intel, but Intel tab should also appear in the advanced properties of the graphics card.
  If you n t found the right resolution, so I guess that the driver does not support!

• Satellite A40-231 does not start after the incorrect firmware update

  Hello
  I have a toshiba satellite a40 - 231.it unbootable because I flashed it's drive(sdr-6112) dvd - rw with the wrong firmware and I also made a mistake in making a non bootable back active partition, try to Flash the correct firmware. So my question is: can I boot from the usb flash drive? I think it's the only option I have left, if not network startup.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  As far as I know it of not possible to start other devices from the USB FDD / HDD / CD-ROM / LAN

  You can boot from network, but if you want to install the OS via the LAN you will need a RIS server. But it's not easy to do without any additional experience. So I think that this option isn't for you.

  It seems that the drive is dead or is malfunctioning and that is why the best idea is to replace the device's drive. I know, it's hard to hear that, but I don't see any other solution

• Satellite A40 - question about upgrading the processor

  If I upgrade my Satellite A40 processor with hyper-threading technology to 3 .00GHz, the problem s s don't past not my chipset for hypo threads, should I have a problem on my terms of portable?...

  Hello

  If you open your notebook and do something about yourself, you will lose your warranty.

  Just FYI; the processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation. As far as I know because of this method of connection, upgrade the CPU is not possible.

  Good luck!

• 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.
