  Feel the hardware problem.
  If it is just a software/driver issue, the webcam should also appear as a device unknown in Device Manager, or marked with yellow exclamation point.

  But also check the BIOS settings if the webcam is enabled:

• PCMCIA does not work on Satellite Pro U200 with Vista

  Hi I have upgraded to Vista family premium on U200 and up to now, almost everything is fine.
  However, I have 2 PCMCIA issues that are bugging me:

  -Any cause of inserted card PCMCIA machine to slow down considerably and mouse movement etc becomes juddery. This is particularly serious if I insert a Toshiba PCMCIA hard drive or a card reader.

  -J' have digital TV card to PCMCIA havea for which I can't find the Vista drivers. It works fine with the drivers XP however I get horrible squealing sounds and treble beeps high for a minute or two each time I have change the channel. The card is a generic of an OEM supplier.

  Any help appreciated.

  Have you tried to update the BIOS or change settings in the BIOS?
  The u200 Pro has been delivered with the Toshiba BIOS I hope
  On the second page of the BIOS, you can try to change the mode of PC Card controller. You may notice improvements.

  For digital pilot card PCMCIA TV in Vista, you must ask the card making or visit the support page sorry that's all I can suggest

  Hey,.

  As far as I know a few Satellite Pro A40 were available with WLAN connectivity and other models not so theoretically WLAN works with Satellite Pro A40.

  You have installed the card WLAN, you connect the two antenna WLAN (black and white) cables to the WLAN card?
  Or you didn t these antenna cables?

• Satellite Pro A40 fell on the wireless network card; Damaged PCMCIA slot

  This morning my Satellite Pro A40 (Celeron 2.6) fell 40 cm. He fell right on the wireless network card that has been inserted. This card is still alive and so is the rest of the laptop, but the PCMCIA location is little damaged. I can insert PC cards almost completely, just the last piece (when the pins are) wrong.

  I removed the cover near the CPU, and there, I could see the inside PCMCIA slot; I could see the main part and the last part where the pins are. That little part as is pushed upward, as you can see in the pictures.

  I think I'd be able to fix myself this PCMCIA slot, but I can't remove it. I removed all the screws on the rear plate, but he is still blocked.

  Pics:

  PCMCIA slot

  The PCMCIA location; on the left, you will see the part with the pins, which is pushed upward. It's also what I see when I look at the pins in the PCMCIA slot. as they are pushed down, but I don't think they are folded.

  Wireless network card

  Wireless network card; It is a little damaged but it still works.

  Does anyone have an idea how I can remove the back plate, or another way to remove the PCMCIA slot and fix it?

  Hi Steve

  Well, I can give t well you not answer how you can just remove the PCMCIA slot.
  There are a lot of screws and to my knowledge, it is necessary to remove all covers and screws that are placed at the bottom of the unit and inside under the keyboard.
  Please check this specific device. Perhaps you have overlooked a few screws.

  But if it is impossible to remove the PCMCIA slot of the unit, I recommend to ask the service partner for a detailed instruction.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A40 guard stop with the ATI driver error message

  My girls having some problems with her laptop and get back to Uni at the end of week for me to have a look on.

  Basically, he keeps closing sometimes with an ATI graphics driver error message. I had updated the memory last Christmas and resinstalled from scratch.

  My first impressions are it is overheating and I probably need to clean the fan, was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

  Thank you very much
  Keith (South end)

  Satellite Pro A40 is about 3 years old and it is possible that the unit needs to be cleaned. If the appliance is used intensively, I assume that there is more dust inside. By overheating of the appliance stops suddenly without any warning.

  As a first step the device. I don't know if it's the right idea to do it alone, but if you are familiar with laptops, you can give a try. After having done that, your daughter should carefully watch what happens the next few days.

• Satellite Pro A40 works now painfully slow

  Hi all, I have a satellite pro a40 which has served me well for a long time here.

  Although it runs painfully slow, now all the programs, including the internet despite my speed of 4 MB.

  I have zone alarm that made regular virus and spyware scans, I tried to defrag and disk clean up but not of the above solve the problem long term.

  Short of ideas, if anyone out there can suggest a remedy? Thank you.

  Hi Urbansafari,

  There are a few things you can try to improve the speed of your A40 - I guess you're talking about the speed (or lack thereof!) to which your laptop seems to be tasks such as opening new windows, programs etc.?

  The first thing to do is to look at the list of all programs start; Uninstall anything you don't need really or use is a good way of clutches back disk space (Windows uses hard disk as 'virtual memory' space to supplement the RAM mounted inside).

  The next thing to do is look at what programs are started in the background when you start Windows. To do this, click Start, then run and type msconfig. In the window that opens, click on the start right tab and you will see a drop-down list of all the programs that start with Windows. Without recognition program names, it may be best to leave them because they can be processes required by Windows. Uncheck all the programs you want to start automatically the next time you turn on the computer. When you are done, click on save and you will be prompted to restart the A40 for the changes to take effect.

  It is perhaps that a new installation of Windows is needed to delete all the temporary files and the old registry entries that have accumulated to over time, in which case backup all your data before running the recovery disc.

  One last thing to consider is the weather you may qualify for an upgrade memory HDD largest capacity, which are both reasonably good solutions worked for a slow running computer.

  Let us know if this is useful and how you...

• Satellite Pro A40 - sound skips when loading programs

  PC: Toshibe Satellite Pro A40
  Sound card drivers: Soundmax integrated digital audio

  Hello

  When I bought my Toshiba Satellite Pro A40 my audio is not affected by loading programs and any other activities that could slow down my computer.

  I had to resinstall windows a few months back when my HD crashed.

  I reloaded all my drivers etc. and installed itunes.

  When I play music or any audio I listen to jump seriously when loading programs or when processes are performed on my computer.

  This used to be the case, I tried to change my settings from quicktime to run in safe mode, I even now deleted quicktime and itunes that I thought it was the source of the problems.

  Nothing worked, my sound is still seriously affected when my processor is busy

  I uninstalled, reinstalled my sound card drivers, but nothing has worked...

  I would really appreciate it if you have all the settings I could change to stop this problem.

  My voice through my microphone breaks a lot, so the people at the other end of a VOIP call can barely hear me... it's driving me crazy!

• Satellite Pro A40 psa45e - error code: what is the problem of flashing

  I just bought the laptop above Satellite Pro A40 (psa45e - 0184 h - en), which came with a generic power.
  The great laptop worked until the other night.

  The light on the power supply is on, output is 15 Volt, turns on the laptop at the front, an orange light comes on and blinks 5 then 2 then 1, I guess the 521 error code.

  Unplug everything and the light goes out then two green lights turns on, then laptop has started twice and started upward (running xp) but then freezes.

  I guess the power supply stopped working and the chip has noticed the problem.

  Can anyone confirm the fault error is feeding or is there something else wrong.

  Need to know before you buy the Toshiba power, I don't want to lose more money.

  Help, please...

  How much is your generic AC adapter?

  The amps must be the same or greater than what your laptop needs. You can view the Volts + Amp requirements based on the laptop (serial sticker).

  So if the laptop needs 15v 8A... you need a 15v 8A or 9A 15v or AC adapter / higher CC.

  If the amps are too weak, in the custom of mobile devices get enough power and could cause damage.

  You should get yourself a good Toshiba adapter for peace of mind. Cheap generics can be more trouble than they are worth.

• Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

  Hello

  The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

  Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

  Richard

  Hi Richard,

  I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

• Satellite Pro A40: TPSODDCtl.exe - Ordinal not found

  Hello

  I reinstalled my Toshiba Satellite Pro A40 with XP sp2.
  Since then, Power Saver have begun to return this error:
  «Application popup: TPSODDCtl.exe - Ordinal not found: the 21 ordinal not found in the library of dynamic links TPSMainCtl.dll.»

  I already removed energy saving and reinstalled again. Energy saving does not work well, m but every time this error apears I restart computer.

  Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

  Thank you for your attention.

  AF

  Hello AF

  It's really not easy to say how this problem can be solved. Usually the new facility could solve it. This kind of problems is not easy to repair on easy way. If you are a user with lots of experience I suggest you remove all records related to energy saving, even entries in regedit (be careful).

  Then, try again to install energy-saving. Sorry but I have no other suggestions.

  If you will be able to solve this problem please let me know.

• Satellite Pro A40-111 - Windows XP Pro Russia - how to change to Windows XP en

  Hi all

  I just bought the Satellite Pro A40-111, 2 days ago in Ukraine. Everything is OK except the OS, it is the version of WinXP Russia. I'm not one Russian or Ukrainian.

  Could Toshiba or someone could help me to config this OS to have the Interface in English WinXP?
  Please help me!
  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  for your Windows to speak another language, you need to go to stores and buy a Windows with this language. In your case, there is (at least not known to me) no way to change Windows English Russian Windows without having to reinstall the system from scratch - and not with an English Windows.

  When you do so, remember to add the drivers CD Utilties - and tools and in the exact order as described in the help on the CD HTML files.
  It is imperative to install drivers in the correct order to have the machine works correctly.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A40 - how to turn on wireless?

  Hello

  I recently formatted and installed Windows XP Professional on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A40.
  But I can't understand how to activate Wifi on the computer.

  When I press FN + F8, nothing happens. All the drivers are installed properly, no errors appear in the Device Manager in Windows. Do I have to install specific drivers, like I used to use the other FN keys (I needed to install common Modules)?

  I also have a (Linksys Wireless - G WPC54G) PCMCIA card. When I put the card in the laptop, the power led flashes once, but also nothing happens. This card is not compatible with this laptop?

  Please can you give me some advice?

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Nothing

  Hey,.

  What is the card listed WLAN correctly in Device Manager? Or you see yellow exclamation points or unknown devices?

  Maybe you should try to update the WLAN driver. On the Toshiba site, you can find the most recent version.

  You should also tell us what happens if you search for your WLAN router. The WIFI connection is displayed in network connections?
