Satellite A40-151 started very slow and have hours to transfer a single file
Hello.
I've had my A40-151 more than two years now, and up to last month, I got no problems at all. However, last month, it began to be very slow and took hours to initialize. I'm worried that I would lose all the data that I didn't back up, and so I bought an external drive to transfer data.
As I was doing this, my laptop started making grinding noises, and it took up to 12 hours to transfer a single file. I got to the place, I bought it, and they said it had crashed and that it was not something they could do other than get it back - and so I lost all my data.
When I came back, it was OK for a few hours and then started grinding again! And I think it might be something to do with the CD/DVD drive. I uninstalled the drive, and the squeaking seems to have stopped as long as the "drawer" player is open! Help, please!
How can I get the drive replaced? My laptop is no longer under warranty. No I lost everything this that data for nothing?
Anyone have any ideas?
Hello
No, the squeaking is probably from the reader of CD/DVD being dry, while optical rides on squeak track passing. But the long loading is certainly a hard drive problem. Looks like a head crash. The head is more or less what locates and reads/writes data from the HARD drive. When this plant it is unable to read/write/or locate the data on the surface taking more and more to save the data, transfer data and load the operating system. Two problems independent of each other. If your ASP cannot repair the cd that squeaks, then they can replace it one that works normally. I hope this has helped you.

Satellite A40-151 is very slow
Hello
My friend has a laptop A40-151, which happened to be very slow with blue sceens of death, noisey and unit system returning to pio mode rather than ultra dma. We spread an infection by the virus and adware. I've had problems like this with all my last pc and it has always been the hard drive dying, or near death and it smells the same (saving). So yesterday, the laptop become very noisey which I suspected that the hard drive was probably to jam! However, xp blue screen referred to as core and memory dump. Could the CPU and memory also die? Maybe a fan is declining?
I got a processor celeron with video shared in the past and they were not fast in the best of cases.
Kind regards
Ashley
Hello
It is best to check the computer step by step:
1 you said yesterday - the laptop became very noisy it may be because of the clogged cooling module that keeps the fan running hard. You need a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. If you clean it well, but the noise persists, may be that the fan blades are broken (need to be replaced). The HARD disk can also made noise as it is old getting (replace) or need to be defragmented. You can download software Raxco Perfect disk to defragment, it's shareware but free for 1 month.
2 on blue screen Xp, you must reinstall Windows Xp and see what happens.
3 it can also be from material, if something serious, should contact ASP (SAV)welcome them

Satellite A30-514 is very slow and how to repair the cooling fan
My laptop is now very slow. Power on the need to use F1 at startup and it is also quite the slowness of the process. My machine has 512 MB of RAM, but shows only 480 MB on Control Panel. It is believed that it's a RAM failure that made the slow machine or something else. I tried maintenance but did not help.
Also any what has got the details how you can open the unit up to service the cooling fan as the machine heats up a lot and need a maintenance operation.
Thank you

Re: Satellite A40-151 - HARD drive replacement
Hello
Following my previous thread (where the hard drive from the A40-151 has been slow and most later made a terrible noise and ultimately did not appear in the bios).
I would replace the drive. I went to the store today and the available drive capacity was well beyond the 30 GB Toshiba MK3021GAS unit. Started 80 GB up to 250 GB. I'm a little worried about the extra power, the speed, the conditions of heat and weather the BIOS recognizes it. Ideally, I would like to find a new MK3021GAS unit. The guy in the store seemed to think that it would be unlikely that someone would still do 30 GB (I guess than the IDE 2.5 "HDD) readers might therefore have to go down for a refurbished drive.
Are there specific readers (speed, capacity, etc.) that do not work with the laptop?
I'm suspicious to a repairer for Toshiba because the age of the laptop the labor costs can exceed the value of the laptop. However accept what are probably the only people to carry the part.
Kind regards
Ashley.Hey,.
You re right. Satellite A40 uses s HARD drive with older IDE interface. This means that you need a new 2.5 HDD with IDE interface.
As far as I know on the old IDE interface there is a limitation of LBA 28 bits and this means that the laptop can only manage hard disks up to 128 GB. So if you buy a larger HARD drive, you pay for the disk space you can use t.
So I recommend a 120 GB model or less. It should work properly! :)

Satellite Pro L500 - wireless connection is very slow and unstable
Hello
I bought a Satellite Pro L500 a couple of weeks (Windows 7 and Realtek 8191SE). I have no problem connecting to public networks, but I can't use it at my place, where I have a broadband cable connection.
The strange thing is that, in the same room, I have no problem with my old A105 Satellite (Windows XP).It is also very strange the fact that, even if the signal is good, sometimes excellent, the connection is very slow and unstable (it disconnects when I try to browse the Internet).
I have already tried:
-Update the Realtek drivers.
-Disconnect the firewall;
-Modification of the properties of the Realtek card.Maybe it's a problem with the software or, on the contrary, with the material?
Thank you!
PoncetHi Patrick,
If you can connect to public networks correctly, I think that this problem is related to your router at home. So I would recommend updating the firmware on your router. You can get it on the page of manufactured goods.
Also try to disable WLAN encryption and MAC address filtering.
By the way: you can access the Internet at home via a cable connection?

Satellite Pro M10 suddenly ran very slow and freezes
Two weeks ago, that my SP M10 is suddenly very slow and freeze. After a reset, it began to check the HARD drive, which lasted about 8 hours, and several repair lost clusters to files. But the student pilot did not run faster. I reformatted the HDD to FAT32 (NTFS has not worked) and reinstalled Windows XP. First, it seemed to work very well, but a few hours later, it freezes again.
After 10-20 min, I got access. This has not changed so far. CHKDSK another also lasted several hours and again showed some lost clusters. I think that my HARD drive is damaged, but how can I see if there a lot of bad sectors? Can I fix it? Can I possibly replace my 40 GB HARD drive with a larger HARD drive capacity?
Are there restrictions or can I use any brand?
Hello
I had the same problem with my Satellite 1900. The result was the HARD drive damaged (bad sectors). I tried to fix it with different tools, but without success. The best solution is to swap the HARD drive.
Good bye

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 A40-151: what DVD-/ + R - RW can I use?
Hello
Does anyone know what dvd-/ + r - rw I can put in a portable satellite a40 151, I'm curious about a toshiba TS-L532B but I get conflicting answers and have need to know if the caches will be adapted, or if there is any other brand that will work and integrate or I have to have an external.
Please can someone help.
Thank you.

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

Satellite A40-121: how to open and replace the cooling module
Hi all
I have a Toshiba Satellite A40-121 for 4 years and was very happy with his performance so far. Just recently, one of the fans is undeliverable noisy and very quickly becomes very hot, so I think I have to change. (I'm not a computer technician, but I live somewhere in the middle of nowhere in China, no support available at all...).
I opened my laptop, but now the covering is always fixed somewhere in the Middle, no screws left!
Do you need some pictures or even a manual how to open my laptop? I could send the vehicle damaged to friends in Germany and they would try to get a new...
Thanks a lot for your help!
Best
MKDAs far as I know that two lovers coling are fixed by two screws. When you remove the two of them, you should be able to remove the cooling fans. Put simply irrelevant.

Computer is very slow and IE does not work all the time.
I bought a computer from my old employeer. He is doing all sorts of things, or should I say not to do all sorts of things. It is very slow and IE does not work all the time. They have questions arise and ask if the administrator oks things and other things like that. It came with any disks. I would like to wipe, clean and load a new disc, but I don't know where to find the disc or if I can do it. Can someone please?
Hello
Proceed as follows to contribute to these two questions. You can probably buy the disks of Vista machine to system or get
the former employer to do it for you if necessary.Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK
Close and restart IE or IE with no addons
not better?
IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
"(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

30/31 of Firefox is very slow and plant constantly?
Hello.
Since I updated to 30 FF, I find it VERY slow and it blocks many times a day. I was happy when version 31 is out because I thought it would work better, but it doesn't.
The pages take forever to is to load, most of the time they will not and I have to recharge myself and then maybe they are responsible.
Also, it crashes all the time. I noticed it's on down each time that it kind of "freeze" or when it is something big, which is not at all big load. I've never had this problem before, but have been dealing with this for months now and I'm tired instead.I think I have almost tried everything. Even uninstalled. I'd appreciate any help, as I would like to continue using it. Thank you.
