• 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)

• Satellite A40: keyboard mapping with us Euro WinXP Pro

  I thought it was a simple problem to solve, but unfortunately it has escaped me. I had to reload a Satellite A40 with the American version of WinXP Pro Corp. Laptop was purchased in Germany. The keyboard is physically different than typical laptops, used here (pressing the button gives you a Z, for example). Is it possible to map the keyboard so that the user can get an idea of what is typed? I crossed the region in question, and I had no chance (unless it's just me?!). Any guys help? Thanks a lot :)

  Hello

  As you said in your advertisement you can change the keyboard language settings in the Control Panel regional and language settings language Details tab

  In the installed services, you can add the language of the US or UK keyboard.
  Please note: you can set several languages. To switch between the settings please use the keys ALT + SHIFT.

• Satellite A40-SP151: can not make ethernet work card

  Hello

  I went and stupidly installed new XP on my Satellite A40 and I can't do the ethernet card working (just Windows will not recognize it).
  I tried MANY solutions (even some of this site) and the drivers and the problem is still there.

  If someone could please tell me exactly what drivers work and where to get them, I'll give you literally infinite gratitude.

  Thanx

  Hey Buddy

  To be honest, the Satellite A40-SP151 is unclear for me but as far as I know many portable Satellite A40 (series PSA40E) use the Intel LAN card.

  Have you tried installing the Intel LAN driver v 8.0.43.0 of the European driver Toshiba page?

  You can find the drivers Sat A40 Archive on the European driver page.

  You can choose:
  Archive Series-> Satellite A40-> PSA40E-> Satellite-> Satellite

• 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 A40-231: 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
  upperFilter and UpperFilter of this key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

• 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

• 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.
