Satellite L40-139 - possible to disable the low battery alarm?
I have a Toshiba Satellite L40-139 it comes with Windows Vista running. I think the battery is now a little age, because it does not load when the computer is plugged in - although the computer itself is capable of functioning when it is plugged in, which is how I use it.
Battery sank to about 10%. For this reason, the computer will sound low-battery-warning beep every fifteen seconds or more. This seems to come from the computer itself and not the operating system, it sounds different from low battery alerts in Control Panel > sounds.
I would like to disable this beep - it is not to tell me anything I don't already know. Until now, the only way to achieve this, I have found is by inhibition of the laptop altogether. But is not ideal, because it means that I can't use any other sound feature on the computer.
I tried, without success, changing the settings in the control panel > power settings, including lower low and critical battery levels and fix warnings for low battery to "off".
Any ideas?
Hello
Please check the BIOS settings.
To access the BIOS F2 press Mobile start upward.
There should be an option called something like low battery alarm
Remember to save the changes before exiting the BIOS.

Satellite L40 - not possible to update the Bios of 1.70 to 5.10
Hello.
I brought a laptop Toshiba L40. It came with Windows Vista and Bios 1.70 instaled (this Bios is dedicated to Vista only). I need to install Windows XP, but first of all, I have to install the 5.10 Bios (the bios is dedicated to XP). But when I try to install the 5.10 Bios, the WinFlash tells me that I have a Bios more recent instaled, and so it won't let me install the 5.10 Bios...
Can someone help me, please? Theres a way to install the 5.10 Bios?

Is it possible to upgrade the Celeron M520 processor to a dual core 2?
Hello
No it s not from the platform you have was not intended for a dual core processor. And even if the motherboard would be able to do it, then you won´t tools (especially as software sweet little tool to write the CPU microcode) to adapt to the CPU for your system.
Sorry dude, a lot of people was here before you and had already asked. Each time the same answer. :/

Satellite C50D - PC Health Monitor shows the low battery
I bought a C50D a few days ago and noticed that when I ran the PC Health Monitor he showed the wear of the battery as poor. I tried a few full charge/discharge cycles and it does not seem to have improved the situation.
Is this something that is likely to correct itself in the next a few charge cycles or could I have a duff battery - the health monitor is not too well to evaluate the battery charge.
Ian
New batteries must be charged and discharged several times in line to achieve the best performance.
I'm not quite sure how many times you have to repeat this procedure but I recommend you monitor the battery working time m.
Of course, battery working time depends on the use of the laptop, but you should be able to see the improvement.

Satellite L40-139: new graphics driver is causing the problem after waking from sleep
I have a three month old Toshiba Satellite L40-139 (PSL40E) with 1 GB of RAM with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. This laptop worked very well for me for the basic headquarters far tasks, and I would have no problem recommending.
In the last days I've updated the software and drivers from the Microsoft Update web site.
Since the update driver Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family (to version 7.14.10.1350, dated October 18, 2007), the screen resolution at 800 x 600 after awakening from the sleep state. The only way I found to fix it is to restart the PC.
Other articles published on the web, I understand that this particular driver (Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family driver 7.14.10.1350 version) has caused many other problems on a variety of hardware and software platforms.
Does anyone have a definitive solution for Satellite L40?
I looked at four options.
1. let the new installed driver and restart Windows each time after waking up from sleep mode. Rather, I must not do this.
2. using the Restore Point created by Windows Update before the update of the driver, roll back to an earlier time. This seems to be a good course if it works.
3 download an older version of the driver and reinstall it. I don't know which version would work but note that others have had success with the 7.14.10.1280 version. I guess a similar version could be included in the driver Package that can be downloaded from Toshiba Europe site, but have heard that the time required to download this software can exceed ten hours and am therefore reluctant to try.
4. the fourth option is not really possible. I should be able to "Roll-Back" the driver in Device Manager, but the button is disabled.
Although only a minor problem, it is very irritating and I would like to address them without causing other problems. Does anyone else have this problem? Someone has fixed it successfully?
Hello Peter
If I understand correctly, you use your usual laptop for daily work and you don't need any computer high-performance notebook. If I'm right I have to say that you should be happy if the laptop works well and stable.
I don't really see any reason why you wanted to update chipset driver. In any case, you should try to roll back the BONES of time earlier and I hope everything will work again. There is absolutely no risk, and you can test it.
Please post the result.

Satellite L40 - 139 - after watching the video, I can't use the virtual scrolling
Hello
I own a Toshiba Satellite L40-139 under Windows Vista 32-bit. However, I think that this problem only applies to this model as other users are experiencing the same thing.
I often watch videos online mode full screen (like on YouTube), but when I leave full-screen mode, I noticed that virtual scrolling stops working on the touchpad. This occurs in the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox. I can still move the pointer, but cannot scroll. I also note that the icon in the taskbar freezes, because it does not meet all the movements on the touchpad. I have the latest version of the driver installed (10.0.3.0).
Is it possible for Toshiba to issue an updated driver for the Synaptics pointing device which solves this problem?
Thank you
Hello
It's the first time that someone has posted this question
I checked this on my Satellite U400 and quest that; the touchpad works ok
There may be a registry problem with your operating system who knows
It would be interesting to know how the touchpad scroll function works by using the new OS installed -

Re: Satellite L40-139 - 10 error code in the Device Manager on the wireless network card
I have a toshiba satellite L40-139 and I just instaled windows 7 64 bit on it. Since that time my atheros wireless device will not work. I tried updating the driver and windows but nothing.
In the device manager says code 10 DEVICE can NOT START.Help, please!
Thank you!
Hello
If you read here:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943104
The Code 10 error code is generated when the Device Manager has not enough information or error that spread upwards by device drivers is not recognized by Device Manager.
Then, go to the page of the driver and update the driver. If you do not have to win 7, try the vista driver.Welcome them

My laptop is Toshiba Satellite L40 - 139 PSL40E model, operating system Windows XP SP3, 1 024 DDR2 RAM (667 MHz) (512 + 512).I want to increase the RAM memory using 2048 DDR2 RAM (1024 + 1024).
Laptop manual can not find if support * _dual-channel memory_ *, which requires a dual-channel-capable motherboard. Theoretically, this technology double data rate of the memory.
Someone has the manual for this laptop motheboard, or may indicate the site for download?Apologies for my bad English.

Satellite L40-139 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. You can buy two modules with 1 GB of capacity with the specifications of DDR2 at 667 MHz.
If you use two modules, they run in dual channel mode.The manual of the motherboard or repair for Toshiba laptops cannot be downloaded. They are only available if ASP.

Question about the battery life of the Satellite L40-139
It's maybe a stupid question, but I have a portable Satellite L40-139 and the battery lasts less time, is this correct.
In the power management, I chose energy-saving. I used to be a mobile system and it could take 2-3 hours. The answers would be great.The laptop uses Vista. Am I wrong?
Well, I don't wonder that you can run Notepad only for an hour approximately.
Vista needs for more resources as a BONE at the beginning. In addition, there are a few bugs in Vista, who have a bad influence on the performance of the battery!
You can perform a search in internet for Vista and the problem of battery on laptops and you will find a lot of information.
The same laptop with XP runs twice as long on battery as with Vista. -
Satellite L40 - 139 with the combination FN + volume problem
Hello
at first, I want to say sorry for may English. It's so good, but I'll try to explain my probblem.
Yesterday I installed the XP system and everything works fine. After installation I can't press FN with the volume I want to say, some with works of function FN buttons, but some of them don't work. Only those function don't switch (FN + volume) volume of work and increase the volume level up/down(FN+ up/down arrow)Someone know how to fix/repair it?
Marcin
Satellite L40-139 belongs to the * PSL40E * series.
Where did you find the Toshiba XP drivers for this laptop series?To my knowledge at THIS time the XP drivers are not released on the Toshiba driver page and so I guess that a driver missing XP or is not compatible BIOS might be the reason for you question.
I think you have to wait until all drivers XP and BIOS XP will be available for you series!

Is it possible to disable the GPU dedicated Satellite L850
Is it possible to disable the GPU dedicated on the L850.
Through the BIOS or something else, so that the laptop works on the onboard graphics on the CPU.Thank you
Hello
What L850-xxx you exactly and what dedicated GPU support?
Laptops that support technology Optimus (with nVidia GPU) could switch automatically between the GPU (Intel) internal and external nVidia GPU and it depends on the application running.
In some cases, you might choose weather, that an application must use internal GPU Intel or NVidia GPU.
