• Re: Ethernet controller XP driver for Satellite A40

  Hi all first post and im desperate.

  I'm trying to sort my laptop Satellite a40 of neighbors.
  They had the CD of two recovery, but trying to do a full restore returned to the top! Error!

  After pressing 2 to continue. Thought discs must be scratched and had it.
  Then loaded win xp pro witch went without a hitch until I needed to go on the internet.
  Even then I thought that the ethernet controller is not difficult to find.

  What a mistake it was me? Driver was not on the two recovery CD and I tried both drivers intel on the download without result page.
  They both seem to be for Wireless Lan.
  I just need the ethernet (LAN) to work.

  Can someone please help
  See you soon

  Hello

  There is a LAN driver on the Toshiba driver page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  I found the Intel LAN driver v8.0.43.0

• Satellite Pro M30 - NVIDIA graphics controller problem

  Hello everyone

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 with a Nvidia GeForce FX graphics controller. ([Image of the motherboard | http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh242/hardousss/PC3.jpg])

  My problem is when I turn on the PC and wait a few seconds red and white vertical stripes begins to appear on the LCD and it cannot go after the BIOS password screen. I can type the BIOS password but when I hit OK or button that ENTER the laptop freezes. ([See image 2 | http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh242/hardousss/PC2.jpg])

  In very rare occasions where the laptop was turned off for a long time, I listen to him on and he could overcome the BIOS password screen but freezes after a while: ([see Image 3 | http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh242/hardousss/PC1.jpg])

  I plugged it to an external monitor and nothing has changed.
  I removed the inverter (responsible for the lightning of the LCD screen) and the problem is still there.

  Always to blame the graphics chip from NVIDIA.
  I read here that it is not possible to replace them because they are soldered to the motherboard. But I want to, where can I get a laptop NVIDIA graphics chip. They sell somewhere?
  I have a friend who works in an electronics manufacturing company (SAGEM) and told me that they have the tools needed to replace any piece on any Board of Directors.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello, my friend

  I agree with you. It must be a faulty graphics card. I put t believe you can buy a graphics chip separately but you can buy mainboard used laptop on eBay. In my view, Exchange Board is no problem for you.

• Upgrading the graphics controller on Satellite A30-404

  I have a Satellite A30-404 with a relatively weak Intel® 852GME Graphics controller, some people say that you upgrade this computer laptop isn´t possible since the graphics controller is onboard, but after some research on www.intel.com I came to the conclusion that this chip after all is not onboard but is a slot to order ATI or Nvidia a better graphic chip trough. but iam still not sure if the chip is integrated or not so I wanted to know if this is possible

  Hello

  On the net I found detailed information on the graphics chip:

  Intel 852GME graphics controller
  Montara GT code name
  Yes engine 2D
  Yes 3D engine
  64-bit memory data Bus width

  But as far as I know it s not possible to update the graphics card.
  If you want you can ask to view ASP.

• Satellite A40 - what size of HARD drive max is possible

  This Satellite A40 has a 40 GB drive at 4200 RPM.
  Looking for 120 GB and 160 GB.

  This question is to know if I can consider a higer RPM one / or access time.

  What are the limits?

  Maurice Newsome

  Hello

  I presume that the A40 supports an IDE HDD ATA-5 controller.
  In this case the 120 GB is the max of the LBA 28 bit

  But in your case I would first test an 80 GB or 120 GB HARD drive.

• 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 activate the resolution wide on external monitor on Satellite A40-261

  Hi all
  I have a Satellite A40 laptop and just bought an external display. I find only normal resolutions in the area of comprehensive property. Is it possible to expand the range of wide screen resolutions?

  Best regards, Leander

  Hello guys.

  First of all, I would like to say a few words on the screen resolutions.
  Mainly the resolution of certain is not available because the resolution is not listed in the graphics driver. In other words, if the driver doesn't support this resolution so you will not be able to choose.

  We try to look at a few:
  @BKV
  You have a Satellite M100. As you say that this laptop is equipped with an ATI card.
  Have you checked the settings in the ATI catalyst? Go to display properties and choose Advanced Options. Here, you choose the tab of ATI catalyst.

  New window should open, and you should see the ATU catalyst control center.
  Check the option display the Advanced view display. Check this area. Maybe the resolution is available here.

  @Lea
  This unit uses the graphics card Intel, but Intel tab should also appear in the advanced properties of the graphics card.
  If you n t found the right resolution, so I guess that the driver does not support!

  Hey all,.

  I have a question. I own a Satellite A40-532 with 512 MB of RAM. I know that the video card can be maximized to 64 MB. I'm now 16 MB. Anyone know where I can change this size? I couldn't find it in bios or somewhere else. Please help me! "

  Hello

  This device was shipped with a shared Intel 852GME graphics card memory.
  If this card uses 16-64 MB of main memory
  These parameters depend on the size of the main memory. In this case if you want to change the settings for 64 MB should be increased RAM.

• 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.

  Akuma is right. I tried to find Microsoft document about this, but somehow the old links no longer work.
  In any case, after removing the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters optical drive should be recognized correctly again and you can use it again.

• Satellite A40-141 - IDE #1 error after the insertion of a new CD/DVD drive

  Hey there!

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A40 - 141 series.
  I have built in a new dvd driver and after I restarted my laptop

  I get the message IDE # 1 and I can't use the driver. I read in some forums that I probably need to update my bios. Now, here's the problem. I can only update version 1.5 for my laptop.

  I tried that and get the message that I already have version 1.5. I can't find an another update of bios for the A40 series except the 1.5 which is since 2004.

  Can anyone help please?

  Sorry for the long talk and bad English :-)
  Thank you

  Hello

  You are completely wrong boyfriend.
  This problem will be resolved not the BIOS updates!

  You bought the car just not compatible.
  The IDE #1 error means that the device connected to the IDE 1 controller was not recognized. Why? Because of the wrong master/slave/C-salt settings!

  Slim portable settings are controlled by the firmware and cannot be changed as weird for desktop PC.

  Either you contact the manufacturing of the CD/DVD drive and will require an update of the firmware and how to change these settings or you need to purchase a new compatible RATING

  Good bye
