• Display Satellite 5100 adapter fails suddenly with NVIDIA GeForce

  I have a 5100 501 Satellite, which uses the NVIDIA GeForce 440 Go display adapter.

  Without changing the settings, the display has stopped working about two weeks ago. Other users have had the same problem (see http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=5&t=49116), but no one has managed to explain or fix the problem. The best that we can do is to disable the driver, which means that the function of "hang" on the laptop is no longer works and leaves me with interference on the screen.

  One theory is that a Windows Update caused the problem. Does not work reinstall any number of drivers (including those recommended by NVIDIA and Toshiba).

  This is a problem very irritating... someone can help?

  MS

  Hello

  Well, check that you have downloaded the graphics driver on the right.
  Each Satellite 5100-xxx needs a different graphic driver.
  In addition, overheating can be a problem. If some high-performance tools (games) running on the device the parts (graphics card) produce a lot of heat. This can lead to freeze the screen. In his case the square around the unit should be free with it that fans could take a breath.

  Good bye

• Strange problem with adapter on my Satellite A40

  Hello world

  I bought Toshiba Satellite A40-221 more than year a go and it works perfectly. I m maybe a heavy user I have working on it in the average of 12 hours. Sometimes I work in manufacturing, especially graphics 3d next to games. last month, the lead of the charger is burned to the ground and it seems to be a shortage that has happened. I've corrected the charger several times myself, but it burns again so I sent it to a fixed workshop that he and they said they changed something inside the charger when I used it just a loud sound of it and lift it up I have not noticed before when I use any heavy program like games or 3d make things. When working on batteries could be the same sounds follows the laptop itself. The laptop works fine but this noise that I don't know it's a serious thing?

  Also the charger gets very hot when I play for a long time, but when I use it on web surfing, programming, drafting... etc no heat is observed.
  Have I sent to specialist Toshiba... help me please?

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should be very carefully with that. As you know defective AC adapter may cause damage to your property at home and you should contact the SAV Toshiba partner in your country. I put t know where you live, but on this page, you will find a http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true useful addresses

  If please contact them and explain the situation very carefully.

• Satellite A40-SP151 - ide #1 error on non-existent drive.

  OK, I got a laptop Satellite A40-sp151; 3 months ago we sent it to repair and they have damaged the connector of the cd player.
  If we use it without the cd unit.

  It was fine, but yesterday I received an error ide #1, without apparent reason.
  The worst is that said error won't start the computer as it will freeze.

  Hello

  The ide #1 error means that the BIOS does not recognize the device that is connected to the #1 controller.
  Especially the HARD drive is connected to the controller of #0 and the CD/DVD drive is connected to the #1 controller.

  In your case, it seems that the CD/DVD drive is bad and that is why this error.

• 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!

• How to change RAM on Satellite A40 - 151

  My laptop Satellite A40-151 contains 256 MB of Ram with XP. It has become extremely slow because of microsoft recent service pack updates.

  It is impossible to make this work more quickly.
  Could someone please suggest me how can I move my ram to 1 GB. Is it supported to upgrade.

  Please I guide me otherwise I can't use this system more.

  Hello

  Yesterday, the same thing happened to me. Windows has received all MS patches and updates and the laptop everything was not more usable.
  It was amazing, slow but after several hours, I managed to install all the updates and now everything works fine.

  Laptop you can be upgraded up to 2GB. This is possible. If you want to use max 1 GB I recommend using 2 x 512 MB modules.
  You use PC2100 200 pin memory (266 MHz) DDR SODIMM!

  You will find the detailed description in your user manual I hope ;)

  But I'll post here a small instruction:
  The modules are hidden under the keyboard!

  -Disconnect all cables and remove the battery
  -Slide the latch of the screen at the front of the computer to the right and open the display panel
  -Insert a thin object under the edge of the brace of keyboard and lift them from the orthosis
  -remove the 2 screws of the keyboard and a screws of the metal structure and raise the metal structure
  -Remove the keyboard carefully (the keyboard is connected to the card cable in water. Make sure you do not apply a voltage of this cable and do not attempt to unplug this cable!)
  -lift in the sheet of insulation left on the memory module
  -Insert a new module into the slot and gently push it downwards so that it lies flat and is fixed by two locks on each side.

  Good luck ;)

• Satellite C855-1RP fail/no bootable device media?

  My 2 years old Satellite C855-1RP crashed yesterday and now will not start?

  I get the fail check standard support and no boot device.
  I can't get into the bios and by disk HARD she shows none?

  I changed the boot parameters to the csm found in the forum, but which does nothing.

  Sometimes I have the password for hdd/sdd?
  It came pre-installed with Win8 and I don't remember it asks me a password hdd/sdd create Setup?

  I checked the disk hard where it was losing, but it's not.
  I put a hard drive of a computer dell laptop work in but who had the same answer, don't know if it is compatible if.

  Then I put the disc in the computer hard toshiba dell laptop, but the new medial check fail.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  All my pictures from my baby for 9 months of birth are on the laptop so I really need to make it work.

  If the disk HARD isn t appearing on the first page of the BIOS, it means that the HARD drive was not recognized by the BIOS, and in most cases, this means that the HARD drive is faulty.

  From my point of view of a few you need to replace the HARD drive.
  Then you must install the new system using the Toshiba recovery media.

  In case you have not created this recovery (recovery or USB flash memory stick drive) media in the past, you can try installing the OS using another disc (from Microsoft?)

  But where you would choose Win 7 system, you must disable secure in the BIOS startup and you should pass the CSM UEFI.

• Satellite A40-210 - how to recover XP but drive turns to run Windows 98?

  OK, I have a dinausour: Satellite A40-210 but hey, it worked fine until a virus destroyed something decisive (or at least that's what I think), because Windows is no longer able to boot.

  However, the error is given: system32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys is unavailable or broken.

  I still have my recovery disks (all 3 of them)
  1: Tools & utilities CD-Rom
  2:product recovery 1 CD-Rom
  3:product recovery 2 CD-Rom

  N ° 1 fails restart and recovery of product 1 CD-Rom turns 'recover' Windows 98.

  Thing is, I want to recover at least some documents and pictures and if possible: get to use it again with all programs etc that have been installed on the hard drive...

  What/how do I?

  As the message of 98 scares me: this will remove all previous information on the disk.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  I think that your laptop comes with Windows 98, so the recovery disk contains the 98 Windows and not Windows XP. That of the point.

  In addition it s not possible to reuse it with all programs and files on the HARD disk with the Toshiba Recovery disk because it erases the entire HARD disk.
  You can only back up the data if you put the HARD internal drive in an external HARD drive enclosure. Then you can connect the HARD drive to another computer or laptop, and there you can save the data.
  That s what you can do now.

  But if you want XP back you need a Microsoft installation disc.

• Need new card system for Satellite A40

  Hello

  I dropped my satellite a40 laptop yesterday and it was a map of wireless network in it, it caused damage to the pcmcia, folded slot location, broke the release button and broke the connector.
  IM assuming that this means a new motherboard, do anyone know if I can get one and if so how much is likely to put me back

  see you soon
  John

  Hello John

  In my opinion, there are only two solutions: you can contact the Service partner in your country to order one or google around and check if you can find an online store where you can order the parts you need.

  Unfortunately, I have no info on the price and part number.

  Hello

  Well, the best way is to ask the service partner Toshiba for compatible readers and supported.
  The fact is that if you buy a non compatible drive BIOS will not recognize this device.
  I found some information on the internet and it seems these drives should work.
  Toshiba SD-R6112 DVD-R /-RW and Pioneer G8CC0001L810 DVD +-RW

  But I'm sure that you'll get a drive compatible and right service in your country.

• Satellite A40 will not power

  My A40 Sat will not contribute to that. In the light is orange flashing constantly. I previously had a problem with the AC adapter failed and replaced it with a temporary universal adapter which worked very well so far.
  It of because I'm a foreigner and can not get the original Toshiba.

  Hello

  I guess you used is not not original and not supported AC adaptor / CC. I guess that the problem came from the AC adapter / CC.
  If the power supply microprocessor detects a malfunction, the DC IN icon flashes orange. The boss of blinking indicates an error. The blink code must convert the hexadecimal error code.
  This error can be read by the Service of Toshiba partner. It can give you a specific answer what s wrong.

  Here I have described how the page looked like if someone can help me!

  In my opinion, you should check if you can find something on the producer mobile support page. Check if you can also find the latest LAN driver.

  Do you use a full version of Microsoft for installation or recovery media supplied with your laptop?

• Satellite A40 - boot sequence problems

  Hello!

  I just bought a used Toshiba Satellite A40. He had a almost crashed Windows XP is installed. I'm trying to put a new copy of Windows XP on it, but I can't boot from the CD. By pressing the done nothing F12 key and when I access BIOS (v. 1.50), I can't change the boot sequence. The only things that I can access are the date and time. Help, please!

  Thanks in advance!
  See you soon!

  Hi moldovanvali,
  long story short - long said...
  -charge the battery fully
  -Start computer laptop game + time and date +.
  -Restart and load setup defaults + +.
  -change the boot for odd sequence +, + cdrom + or similar
  your system should now boot from the cd without pressing on + F12 +.

  If it does not start on cd/dvd maybe the optical disk drive is not able to start...
  There are many reasons for this...

  BTW: without entering a date and a time when the system starts only pressing on * F1 * (most cases)
