• Satellite A40-241: what DVD-/ + R - RW can I use?

  I thought I had a DVD burner but I'm bad, only the CD. Can I install a DVD R - RW, or is the only option to buy an external driver to connect to my laptop? What is the best option and which does not implement this?

  Hello

  Well, I recommend you to buy an external DVD burner.
  Usually it s much cheaper as an intern and each external burner should be compatible because it s connected with firewire or USB2 (I would have preferred the firewire connection)

  You should also know that you can not use every internal drive. It depends on the csel/slave/master settings. These parameters are fix and it of not possible to change or on the desktop by switching the jumper.
  If you want to buy an internal drive, so you should contact Toshiba service partner in your country for a compatible.

  But I prefer externally.

  Hi all

  I have TOSHIBA Satellite L20-100 and I need to upgrade the ram memory up to 2 GB.
  I found these models on the internet but I don't know that it is compatible with my computer laptop or not.

  the following module on the eBay store:

  * 1 GB Kingston DDR2 667 Mhz 1 GB DDR laptop 2 NB RAM *.
  * Hynix 1 GB RAM DDR2 5300 s - computer notebook memory 667 MHz *.

  Already now I have 512 DDR2 667 Mhz

  Or any knows from where can I update the correct RAM?

  Hello

  Theoretically, you can use all modules store because all the modules to meet specifications, DDR2-RAM, 1 GB, etc. for example.

  In your case, I'd take the Kingston RAM. I've never heard ASint RAM, but I have good experiences with RAM Kingston. I always use Kingston RAM to upgrade my notebooks and never had any problems.

  Last but not least, you can also buy RAM of an authorized service provider.

• Satellite A40-151: how to enter the BIOS settings?

  Hello...

  I'm on Toshiba Satellite A40-151 the DVD for this broken but this isn't worth it.
  The problem is that I can't enter the setup (BIOS) to boot from a different boot device, or I do not now how to enter.

  Help, please

  thanx

  Hello

  I think you have a Toshiba BIOS.
  In this case you must press the ESC key immediately after the laptop has been powered. Try to press the button several times

  By the way; You can also use the F12 key to get the boot menu.
  Then you could easily choose your boot device
  This also works

  You ask: what do I need read CD DVD

  You want to play the DVD or what?

  CD - R (RW), CD - RW (read/re-write), CD,
  DVD-ROM (read-only), DVD-R (read only), DVD - RW (read only), DVD - RAM (read-only)

  Don't forget that you put media to DVD + t use because these DVDs are not compatible
  Also if you want to watch DVDs you must use an application like WinDVD or Power DVD, etc.

• 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 A30 - 151 - what memory module can use?

  Hello

  I have TOSHIBA Satellite A30-151 with 768 MB of DDR1 memory.
  I want to upgrade. What is the best memory that I can buy?

  the card says:
  Max 2 048 MB.

  So, how many slots I? I can buy 2 x 1 Go DDR1-333 memory? Can it be more than 333 then?

  Thank you
  NIR.

  Hello

  It is really an oldie
  As far as I know that you can upgrade the RAM up to 2 GB of RAM
  The bus (FSB) front-end speed seems to support 533 Mhz and that's why you should be able to use the 533 Mhz RAM modules.

  PS: The laptop must support 2 slots of memory if you are able to put 2 x 1 GB RAM

• IDE #1 ERROR Satellite A40-151 - no upgrade of the dvd/cd player

  Hello
  Yesterday, I was using my A40-151, as I do every day, and I noticed that I don't have a dvd player on my computer anymore. I opened the drive and put a cd inside. The player makes all the usual noise and then stopped, but there was still not a dvd drive on my computer icon.

  I rebooted and noticed that the IDE #1 Error message appears at the top right of the screen on power upward. eventually the laptop just starts as normal, and all operations seem normal (touch wood!).

  I have not upgraded / removed the drive. In fact I've never opened the laptop once and it was a year ago to upgrade the RAM.

  I "googled" the problem, but I'm still no wiser despite a few threads on various reading forums.

  I'd appreciate any help that my thesis is due soon and I need my car!

  See you soon

  Hello

  This error usually appears because of the evil master /slave on the STRANGE settings.
  But in this case, the BIOS would not recognize the drive and it is not possible to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM.
  So maybe the problem is related to another question.

  I found this thread: seems to be useful for you

• DVD player that does not work on Satellite A40-151

  My laptop will play the Audio CD and CD-ROM. However, is no longer, it will play DVDs and it will be also no londer on CD writing.
  Any ideas how I might solve this problem?

  Hello

  Is that what the problem if you are using an original DVD? Try to check if the lens is dirty. I don't know how old is your unit, but if the warranty is still valid, contact the Service partner and let check the device.

  If the reader has this problem reading original DVD movies it's probably hardware malfunction.

• 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 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 recovery disk problem

  Hello

  I hope someone can help.

  I bascially bought this new laptop altogether earlier and until recently he works very well, but a few weeks ago the hard drive, I think that then, it happened to the extent where everything would load and then the pc would lock or it would freeze on the windows loading screen.

  Now, I did a little research and from what I could gather my HDD disappeared.

  I then bought a new hard drive for this the same exactually that I had same model, same brand etc and even same GB, which is 30 GB.

  I placed in the new hard drive and went to install windows xp on the recovery disks, but now I get a problem it starts and tries to install the os, but about 15% in the disc stops spining and I get an error 437 that the file cannot be run or something like that.

  I did something wrong? do I need to buy a whole new operating system? I hope someone can help

  Thank you for your time

  If you have purchased this Satellite as new and quite while ago why you pay money for new hardware? If one of the pieces of equipment is defective warranty will cover the costs of replacement.

  As far as I know that satellite A40 is old enough laptop model, and I guess that it takes more than two years. Anyway, if possible try to install the OS by CD Microsoft facilities to determine if the OS facilities can be completed. Maybe faulty recovery CD is (some scratches).
