• Error satellite A40-SP151 - compatibility of the writer DL, DVD - RW - ide #1

  Hello
  Can anyone add to the list of * of compatible DVD burners for Satellite A40-SP151 *.
  Googling readers listed previously, they seemed to be just DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo.
  Download
  Toshiba G8CC0000R810
  Hitachi G8CC00015810
  TEAC G8CC0001D810
  HITACHI G8CC0001K810
  Panasonic G8CC0001C810
  Toshiba SDR2412OAA

  I'm trying to upgrade to a DL, DVD - RW disc.

  I can confirm KD08 Pioneer and Panasonic UJ - 850 FWv1.10 are _not_ compatible, this last, I can't find any firmware for (trying to swap master / slave settings)... (Don't want to mess with the pioneer)

  I think the Ref. TOSHIBA DVD-RW/CD-RW COMBO SD-R6112 is compatible, if anyone can confirm this?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think that all of the list found in the manual of use of Satellite A40-SP151.
  In my (not for the A40) user manual I could find compatible ratings

• Satellite A40-231: cannot burn CDs or DVDs

  Hello

  I can play CDs without problem, but I can't write them and DVD. I tried with Windows XP default recorder (by Roxio as he said), Nero and Infra Recorder but still had the same problem. Combustion process begins and finishes without errors with all of this software, but when I check the contents of the CD later, I see that nothing is written there, the CD is just considered as empty, or sometimes seen with 0 MB of available space, 0 MB total space.

  I tried with the CD - r, CD - RW and the DVD but I got the same problem. I have 2 389 MB free in my disk space hard as he is seen by Nero for the ability of the temporary folder that it uses.

  My DVD-R /-RW is recognized by Windows XP without problem and also, I installed the latest firmware from the site Web of Toshiba.

  Here are my specifications:

  Toshiba Satellite A40-231
  Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-R6112 DVD-R /-RW DRIVE Firmware Version: 1333 (latest news on the site Web of Toshiba Driver)
  System dual boot: Windows XP SP2 and Linux Debian Sarge

  Hello

  In the manual of Toshiba, you compatible o is a list and supported the CDs and DVDs.
  You must use these mediums as they are tested and should work correctly.

  Another tip:
  Go to start > run > and start recording with a command regedit

  Delete values

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

• Satellite A40 credentials

  I hope someone can help me with this. I bought an A40 satellite to Japan in August 2004 and now I begin to search for updates and so on.

  I need help to determine which type of unit I have in order to buy bonds.

  My unit has model number: PSA40Z-071SS and the serial number: 74024230HJ. With the computer, I also had a brochure describing it as a T-Series.

  It's just when I'm looking for the parts (mainly internal parts, dvd burner, etc.) on the internet, there are often lists of the A40 and they are identified as A40-S161 A40-S270 or A40-S1611 A40-S2701 and I really want to know how do I know what mine is!

  Cheers, Dan

  Hello

  You device is designed for the Japan market, that s clear and it s a Satellite A40. I'm sure at 100%. Other numbers A40 -xxx are not very important for the compatibility of the devices.
  If you need compatible devices and supported, you need to contact Toshiba service partner in your country, and you can be sure that you will get 100% to 100% compatible parts.

• Re: Satellite A40 - hard drive error - will not start

  My friend bought this laptop in April 2007 and has been very happy with it until about a month when he stopped startup in windows xp.

  At the start, she now gets the message

  "PXE - E61 media test failure - check the cable for.
  "PXE - M0F outgoing intel boot agent"
  "Insert system disk in drive."
  "Press a key when you are ready.

  and then the laptop does not start in windows.

  I thought that the hard drive can have detached, so I took it out and he handed in a State, but in vain.

  I also tried to reinstall with the recovery CD but get the following error message
  status «»
  GDISK (E) no such fixed disk 1 "

  It is followed by * ERROR *.
  Error number 11030
  invalid message destination drive
  X;

  I ran a Toshiba (or he could have Hitachi) utility disk that I burned on a cd and went up on the audit boot.

  It said there are problems on Toshiba MK4025GAS, which is the hard drive. details coincide with what it actually says on the disc.

  The BIOS sees the drive start on as he is listed as the master, with the cd as the secondary drive.
  Therefore, is it true that the drive is broken. If so - can it be repaired or is there another solution.

  I tried Googling the error message and there are conflicting messages on this issue, so your help would be very appreciated.
  It seems crazy that the reader can break after only 18 months - was there a defective batch?

  If that's the case Toshiba offers a replacement or it will cost a lot?

  Thank you

  Post edited by: Nashy - sorry - it was bought in 2007 is NOT 2006

  In your case, the HARD drive is certainly defective and you need to replace. Satellite A40 is pretty old laptop without guarantee valid and there is no replacement from Toshiba.

  Just buy a new HARD drive. Hard drives for this good old classic are not more expensive.

• Satellite A40: Question about upgrade from the DVD UJ-850

  Hello

  I have a satellite A40, I recently installed a new motherboard to. Everything now works perfectly, and I plan to change the CDRW/DVD drive to a dvd burner.

  The current player is a panasonic-UJDA750. I intend to replace it with a UJ-850 for the dvd burner. Could someone please advise whether it is a good drive to go to any other suggestion and if I need different drivers for the drive to work or is it just a straight swap out.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  Before you buy a slim drive you must be sure that this drive is compatible with the Satellite A40.
  There is a big difference between external drives for desktop PCs and laptops.
  The master/slave/c-salt settings on slim drives are fixed and cannot be changed.

  If you buy a slim with wrong settings drive, the BIOS does not recognize the drive and you'll get an error IDE #1.

  I recommend that you contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask guys for compatible DVD burner for you A40.

  As a reader of DVD-R/RW compatible, you can use the Toshiba SD-R6112 or drive Pioneer G8CC0001L810 drive.
  I also found some readers of DVD-Multi (CD-R/RW DVD-RAM/R/RW) compatible:
  Panasonic G8CC00019810
  TEAC G8CC00013810

  Sorry for the strange number, but I guess these are the numbers of Toshiba.
  Try google. You may find a full name.

• 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 - 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)

• Replace HDD on Satellite A40

  I would like to replace the hard disk of 40 GB on my Toshiba Satellite A40 PSA40C-07VH3. I found that a few IDE 2.5 "drives on Newegg. Is there a size limit, should I be aware of? I'm leaning towards the 80 GB Western Digital model.

  Thanks for your time.

  Hey,.

  Yes, there is a limit of due capacity limitation LBA 28 bits. This means that the laptop supports only up to 128 GB HDD (-online 120 GB is the maximum capacity).

  With other words the 80 GB of HARD drive you mentioned will work correctly if you want or need 120 GB you can also buy this, that s your decision. As you already wrote, it is only important that buy you one with 2.5 and IDE interface that s all! :)

• Satellite A40-231 - 100% CPU usage when any browser works

  Hello
  my laptop is satellite A40-231, I have a problem for days.

  When I open any browser (I tried firefox, IE and chrome) I can't watch the video, everything is slowing down, I can't navigate between pages.

  I took a quick glance to the use of the cpu and it increase to 100%, it never decreases. When I close the browser, the CPU usage drops to 15%, which is normal. I thought it might be a virus that internet connection and make things slower. That's why I format my laptop. I deleted all of my hard drive and reformatted. I installed Windows again, but he has not changed. I even installed ubuntu (I thought maybe virus can not work under ubuntu), but it's the same thing. I turn on my laptop and I open a browser and the laptop slows. I have clean the cpu fan it has not helped.

  I tried to solve it for days I could not sleep properly, I'm about to cry :(

  Please help me please.

  Hello

  You have reinstalled Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? This drive will restore the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools so everything should work fine after that.

  In addition this happens with LAN or WLAN connection? You should try it with the other connection.
  Also check your router and update the firmware. Try to disable the encryption, MAC address filtering, etc.
