• Erratic behavior of satellite L750 - 16Z DVD Drive

  The DVD drive for this model is HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30N.

  From a previous post, I was led to understand that it is normal that the reader to click on start. Once I've connected on W7 (after 2 minutes) it clicks again.

  If I go into the PC diagnostic tool, it will commit again.

  He also started clicking at random moments, which is very annoying.

  I think it has changed when I'm fiddling around with one of these TOSHIBA. I guess it could be either:

  Toshiba TEMPRO
  PC Diagnostic tool
  PC Health Monitor
  Service station

  This could really be something, but now it is so irritating that I disabled HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30N in devmgmt. I prefer to not do what I'm going to have to keep activation and deactivation.

  Experts out there who understand the strange operation of this configuration?

  > If this is the case uncheck you the "Toshiba PC Health Monitor" to start msconfig work and is it safe to do?

  Yes, it's really safe!
  The "Toshiba PC Health Monitor" would not start when starting the device if you disable the "Toshiba PC Health Monitor" in the msconfig Startup tab.

  But this software can still be used if you need you can find the exe file in all programs-> Toshiba

  Can someone help me, please.

  Hello

  Here you can compare the version of the BIOS installed on the laptop with the one published on the page of the Toshiba driver.
  If you use the older BIOS, you can try to update. Maybe the update will sort this strange behavior.

  But there could also be a hardware malfunction if the BIOS update does not help.

  Hello

  If there is no possibility try test your WLAN functionality with another network wireless (friend or maybe in your company). On this path, you should be sure if the problem occurs only with your WLAN.

  Try to install the driver for your WIRELESS Intel network card. You can find it under http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=1847&lang=eng

• Satellite M40X-126: disk blocks when the DVD-RAM has been inserted

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite M40X-126 with a super multi drive installed. I have a problem with writing to DVD-RAM. Sometimes, when I try to write data to a DVD-RAM disc, the DVD player makes a strange noise, as if the mechanic of material is blocked inside the car. The laptop will not write any data on him and he doesn't notch in this noise. And I can't open the drive, because it is blocked by the software. And windows is blocked as well, I can't do anything. The only thing I can do, is stopped the laptop by pressing the power on button a few seconds.

  I do not think, it is a software problem. I have installed all the necessary drivers (UDF) is installed correctly. And DVD - RAM writing runs smoothly most of the time. But I have every 5 times I insert a DVD-RAM disc makes it drive this strange noise and everything is blocked.

  My disc is damaged? Who has the same behavior?

  Thank you

  Reto

  Hi Reto

  I have the same drive, but it works without problem. I know that DVD-RAM media are expensive, but all I can suggest is you buy another provider and check if it will happen again.

• Satellite M40X 185 linux live cd, noise and temperature

  Hello

  I just bought a satellite M40X-185. I flashed the bios with success of 1.30 to 1.60. Windows XP home (preinstalled) works perfectly. I found three questions:
  1. when I try to boot from a cd live linux (suse 9.3 dvd, knoppix 3.9 or mandrake move) the system hangs. Any idea of this behavior? With knoppix, it seems to hang while loading driver cardmgr. So I thought it was a problem with the linux cardbus but ultimately suse live driver dvd 9.3 has succedded in load correctly if I disable acpi (command-line ACPI = off). TR is the problem related to M40X material and/or bios version or is it related to linux (the kernel version maybe?). Thank you

  2. it seems to me that coolig system is much more noisy when I use the toshiba power management. If I use win XP default portable power management mode, the computer is much quieter!

  3. is there a way to measure temperatures of system (CPU, MB, GPU, etc...). Previously I have hade a satellite A50 and speedfan (www.almico.com) was able to measure all these parameters.

  Thank you

  Hi Sid

  I'll try to answer best I can.

  (1) maybe the system BIOS is not really what the Linux kernel expects and so stops. Please see the Linux very good page of Toshiba:
  http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de
  Maybe you will find some tips on Highway M40 Linux ACPI.

  (2) time MS Toshiba power management and power management is supported by the profiles of school boards. Means that you can set according to your need, how the machine should act. In the Toshiba power management, you have many more opportunities than in the version of Ms. In the Toshiba module, you can choose to have machines operating in performance mode which means that it will give priority to the performance (which normally means of cooling by fan) instead of throttling of the CPU in order to limit heat production.
  You can also do the opposite - give priority to silence (fan less and less speed) for the performance.
  Of course there are some other settings as well (screen, disk HARD times sleep and so on).
  I mean, is that the module from Toshiba is probably set up for performance, which means that you get the fan noise. If you like you can set minimum performance and so less noise. It has its advantage the Toshiba module - it is far better to control of the small parameters and levels of breakdown and time. So, you are in more control of your system.
  Sorry for the long lesson - I'm the same at home and he is not popular :)

  (3) sorry - no answer here except that I don't know why anyone would want this. That's enough for me to know that the system controls all of these things by himself and goes off in case of overheating.

• Satellite M40X-189: I want to upgrade the processor?

  Hello

  I have the satellite m40x-189 notebook with Intel Pentium M 730 processor(1.6/2M/533). "I want to improve my CPU with Intel Pentium M780 processor(2.26/2M/533). Is this possible?

  Generally speaking, the situation of CPU upgrade is a little different on laptops. It's not as easy as on the desktop PC.
  The production of temperature and overheating are serious problems.

  But the series of different laptops is shipped with different processors. AFAIK the M40X supports processors:
  Intel Pentium-M Dothan, 1.6GMHz, 1.73GMHz, 1.86 MHz, 2.0GMHz, 2.13GMHz
  and 2.26 MHz.
  Intel Celeron-M Dothan, 1.3GMHz, 1.4GMHz, 1.5 MHz, 1.6GMHz

  The device also supports processors Intel 915 PM/915GM/910GML chipset for system memory controller.

  But you know, nobody's going to give you the guarantee that the laptop will run stable and without any strange behavior.

• Satellite M40x - where the memory?

  Hi all

  I want to improve my memory of 512 MB to 1.5 GB. I bought 1 G RAM and when I plugged in the screen become white and computer laptop does not work. RAM is fine. I have contact the technical service of the seller, and according to them I need to remove the old 512 MB of RAM and plugged it my 1 GB of RAM for my laptop recognize the new RAM.

  To do this, I opened my keboard and under what I can only find WLAN in the middle in the left there is another local network. and the far left, I see my DVD - ROM. On the right PC card and what is - this. I don't know where is the 512 MB RAM slot. It is there somewhere.

  Is there any expert who can tell me where to find 512 MB RAM slot?

  PS: I even call Toshiba support and they said sorry according to policy, we cannot tell you.
  If expert laymen captions please help me to solve this problem.

  Please

  I checked the manual of the Satellite M40x (it can be downloaded from the Toshiba site) and if you look at page 8-7 you can find a description of the memory upgrade.

  In my opinion the 512 MB that you already is a built-in RAM that can t be upgraded because the bottom of the laptop is on only one memory slot.

  However, I think that it is not a problem to use an additional RAM module, but maybe the new RAM is not compatible with your laptop.
  What type of memory you have bought exactly? Maybe you should try it with another.

  I hope I could help a bit.

• Satellite M40X-286: energy saving and the E - key utility does not work on Vista

  First of all, sorry for my bad English.

  I managed to install Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit on my Satellite M40X-286. Everything works, except for the energy saving and the E - key utility. I tried the added value of packages of other TOSHIBA models, but they all give an error message during the installation. Is there a solution for this problem?

  Now I can't change the speed of the processor and the brightness of my screen, and I can't even adjust these settings in a power mode. The only way to change the brightness is manually using the FN + F6 and F7 keys.

  Kind regards
  Stijn.

  Please don t be crazy about me, but there is no problem at all. The situation is quite clear.

  First: tools and utilities are similar, but in most cases have to be adapted for each laptop model. It may happen that some tools work on the different model of laptop, but this does not mean that he has to work on each model.

  Second important fact is that Toshiba does not Satellite M40X support for Vista operating system and I guess you won't be able to use this tool. In my opinion, it is not so important, because all the energy-saving settings you can find in Vista power options.

  For utility E - key, I don't see a solution. If you use OS not supported, you must live with it.

• Problem starting on Satellite M40X-250

  For some time, I'm having a problem with an old laptop, the Toshiba Satellite M40X-250.

  When I try to boot this laptop, the headlights turn on, I can hear the hard drive and fan from, also I can hear (if I have one there) station cd read cd/dvd.

  But nothing else happens, the screen remains black and there is no way I can make it work.

  I quite know something on the desktop, so I disassembled the laptop completely and just cleaned and after I reassembled it again, but that had no effect, I can not even boot up the laptop.

  There is however another strange thing, it is very rare, but sometimes I get to start, but at some random point (very quickly, because I can't actually use the laptop) it is for me a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) with an error code, I think it was 0x000000EA. In any case, this meant a driver problem with the graphics card. It gave me an error ATIDVAG.

  But most of the time I'm still not able to start.

  Now, it's a very old laptop and I have tried everything,.
  I tried to start without battery (disconnected) and only the power, without result.
  I tried to start only with the battery, no results.
  I tried to unplug the power supply and the battery, then press the power button / stop for 60 seconds, no results.
  I tried several rescue cd, a linux installation cd, windows installation cd, it resulted in nothing.
  [EDIT] I have also connected to the laptop to an external monitor, but that did not work, no results.

  I'm really lost now, I have tried everything I know, and I've never met a problem like this.
  Maybe it's just the fact that material became old and it is better to give up, but I would really like to know if there is someone who can help me and maybe give me some ideas on what I can do.

  I am very familiar with the inside of this laptop and I know what to do. I don't want to not call me an expert, maybe it is a little off, but I know my way around.
  so, if anyone has a solution, let me know.

  Regards and thanks in advance.

  In my opinion, it seems that the problem of graphics card.
  Black screen means that the display is faulty or chip chart.

  But if the internal screen would malfunction, then you should still be able to use the external monitor, but I guess that's not possible, therefore, I think that his GPU problem
