• 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!

• 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 does not start

  I was working on my Equium L40 when it has just been cut. I had worked on it for a while so it was very hot and the fan worked very hard!

  I checked the power supply and it is fine. I'm guessing (but not sure) that this is a motherboard failure and that will cost more than a new laptop (this one is 3 years old). Could it be the battery?

  The problem is that I have a job that I need to get. My co-worker said I should just remove the hard drive and get a 'cradle' that will allow I plug the drive into my new laptop using a USB key and retrieve the information. Is this correct?

  Any help would be welcome!

  I put t know for sure, but the problem may be overheating. Leave it for a while and try to restart your laptop. If the laptop restarts correctly to the first back up all your important data.

  Next step should be the laptop clean. Probably cools grill full of dust and laptop cannot be properly cooled.

  Yes, your friend is right. You can connect the HARD drive to the other PC as external device and you will have full access to your data.

• Equium L40-156 initialize problem

  I have an Equium L40-156. When I press the power button the power led lights up, but there seems to be no hard disk activity. I manually turn off by pressing the power button for several seconds, leave it for a few seconds and then press the power again button once it starts normally.

  Any ideas please?

  Hi mate,
  Have you recently updated your BIOS, installed a few more RAM / another HARD drive or software? Perhaps some update driver?

  Since when the error pops up? And you have always guaranteed on this subject?
  So, if so, then bring your machine to an authorized partner and let check your machine. Would be the best...

• Equium L40 - Windows won't start, message on screen

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Equium L40 - 17M.
  Recently when update my antivirus, my computer tried to restart but now does not load correctly.
  Now whenever I try to turn on the computer, after the initial configuration screen Toshiba I'm greeted by the following message is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

  Playing a disc error has occurred
  Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.

  However, this message seems right once again!
  Suggestions please!

  It could be a problem of file system corruption, in which case you can connect the HARD drive to another PC and run CHKDSK on the drive.

  If no help, then check the bad sectors HARD disk using the Test advanced in Hitachi DFT (Google is your friend)

  Or you can try to run your recovery discs recovery. This reformatted HARD drive, so you will need your first of all if the data backup sound still there (you can use a USB 2.5 "HDD adapter).

  If you really need your data back, there are data recovery programs, you can download to search the HARD disk for lost files.

• Problem activating BTooth between cell phone & Equium L40

  Hi all

  Just bought a Toshiba Equium L40 series and can not detect my btooth active mobile phone in microsoft Sync Center, an I being dense and the laptop don't even no btooth capacity? Assumed he would. No problems with the detection of just etc. nearby wireless networks does not detect the phone, what am I doing wrong?

  Thanks for any help in advance

  Stand by. You are 100% sure about BT on your satellite? Maybe your laptop doesn't have BT. Please check the underside of your laptop. Each laptop with BT module has a label of BT.

  To be honest, I think that your Equium has no BT check it out!

• Equium L40-14i does not power up if its cold

  When I push the power button down when the machine is cold, green power light comes on for about 2 seconds, then turns off. If I give the laptop a little sweet heat for 30 seconds, the notebook starts up the first time and works perfectly until the machine is turned off. The laptop is Equium L40-14i

  Hope someone can help with this strange problem.

  Hmm laptop Equium L40 is an older model, it is possible that some parts of the motherboard (maybe electronic power) does not work as it should.

  By the way: before talking about some problems of motherboard, you should check if the laptop works properly using another job good and checked power adapter.

• Equium L40 - internet does not work if I open more than one Web site

  I have an Equium L40-10 X, and while the system works well, he doesn't like the internet. If I open more than one Web site, a little box comes up saying that Internet Explorer has experienced a problem and must be restarted. It becomes excruciatingly embarrassing if I'm in the middle of something important and I lose the site I've been on!

  Especially with me, go to college soon too! Especially it will refuse to work if I have to download something, for example, I recently bought an Apple iPod Nano and I needed iTunes in order for me to put music on it, but once he starts the download, the "internet has stopped working" appears and I have to start everything again, but instead of her work - quite simply, there is no!

  This often becomes a case and it makes me incredibly stressed!
  Help, please.

  Hello

  Always use the OS from windows update?
  These errors occur if the registry is dirty and drunks was not updated!

  Update windows on Microsoft for the last State page!
  In addition, you must clean the registry using the freeware tool called CCleaner. It s nice!

  So finally a hint;
  You can access the internet with Microsoft Internet Explorer and with another internet browser like Firefox for example.

  I recommend you this possibility.

• Equium L40 - lost wireless connection

  I have an Equium L40-156 under Vista and wireless became intermittent. The switch light would go out or maybe turn on at startup. In the end, I did a restore of the entire system from scratch and installed the latest drivers (Realtek) wireless.

  This seemed to cure the problem and it has been fine for the last 2 months. However, the light is now out again (it was working an hour ago), and there is no wireless connection.

  I tried a restore of the system and also installed the latest driver from Toshiba, but I still can't run. I hesitate to start over again once it takes all day to load programs and updates. Can anyone suggest what I can do or is this another bug of Vista?

  Great news

• Equium L40-14i - can I get a recovery disk?

  Hey,.

  I'm stuck with that laptop right now because when I did a scan for virus about 4 weeks ago we found 179 virus and endless malware, and since this analysis I can start is no longer a normal Windows Vista 32-bit area unless it is Safe Mode.

  When my mother bought the laptop it is a display model and that they did not provide a recovery disc witht the laptop. I am able to request one or if I am not not to get a disk how am I able to rectify the Please this problem? Also when you try to open a session in normal Windows, it accepts the password then sits there with happiness on the 'Welcome' screen and does not move further.

  Help, please

  Kind regards

  Your Equium L40 comes with HARD drive recovery option.
  Recovery image is recorded on the second partition, and you should have HDDRecovery folder saved on the second partition.

  Is this folder?

• I want to recover my Equium L40 - PSL41E

  I want to wipe the HD on my computer laptop lads and re - install the OS from the 1.46 GB Toshiba providing hidden partition.
  Only problem, is that the product supplied with the laptop recovery CD doesn't play ball.

  I've configured the BIOS to boot from the CD,
  I now tried the 'C' when you turn it on and
  also tried the PF12 key while booting.

  The only answer is a cd drive grinding noise when trying to read the CD and a simple blinking cursor on the left side, on a black background.
  After about 30-40 seconds, he spends mode with Microsoft Corporation under a mobile bar and then the Windows Logo to normal startup.

  I can't open or read the CD on the laptop but can open & read it on my other desk perfectly, I can even read from my laptop on my home network.
  I can open & read other CDs on the laptop perfectly.

  I uninstalled the driver CD and rebooted to activate Windows find and reinstall. I went through all the drivers and updates to those who
  find new versions. The driver of the CD was not one of them. (FYI, it's a Pioneer DVD - RW DVR-K17A ATA device v.6.0.6000.16386)

  I used F8 to get in the Advanced Options Panel, but when you go through the different selections for the "Format and re - install OS' option it just straight up pop"
  with an advisory screen advise you to use the product recovery CD.

  Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas to try to get this CD to work on my laptop Toshiba of guys. (Equium L40 - PSL41E)
  Thank you very much.

  > I'll go and try and borrow an external drive before I go and buy a new one.
  And then you'll post here again once you cannot start the recovery CD/DVD facilities.
  Best solution for you is to swap the internal optical disc drive. Not only due to the installation of recovery, but also for the use of the other.

  User s manual, you can find a list of all compatible drives. Exchange is very simple and you can do it alone.

• 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.
