• Satellite L40 (PSL48E) - is not restart after BIOS update

  Hello

  My problem is that I have updated the BIOS and after that the machine does not restart. (Corrupt BIOS?)

  After that the BIOS updated (Satellite L40 PSL48E), reboot the machine and with the F2 key, I open the BIOS setup.
  I check the version of the BIOS (5.50) and complete the configuration of the BIOS. The machine must restart now...
  Not at all, the machine does not restart. No screen only the powerled lights.

  I can to fix it on my own as a BIOS reset?

  Thank you for the cooperation.

  It's strange because after that the updated BIOS update you can go into the BIOS.

  However, try to remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait one hour and then put the battery back in and connect the AC adapter. Try again.

  If it doesn't work it is something wrong with the hardware or BIOS and must be checked by a technician for laptop.

• Cannot start OS on all new Satellite L40

  Can someone help, please?

  I just got my new series Satellite L40 with Vista premium installed.
  Power plugged and open the device on, and received this message:

  "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows Setup cannot continue. To install windows click ok to restart the computer and then restart the installation. »

  So, I go ahead and click ok, system shut down boots then again with the same message over and over again. Read the small manual content provided and ask the recovery disc to insert, followed by the closing down of the device. While the system restarts to hold the F12 key then select the DVD drive and continue to follow the on-screen instructions.

  I did it to the letter and still the same result with the message reappear.
  I thought that the recovery disk was empty but have checked on the desk and he has record of files on it, so I tried again.

  Without any joy. It is for tomorrow a gift which I feel that I will not be able to give because of this case, and it's too late to get another.

  PLEASE, PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP?
  MANY THANKS & KIND REGARDS

  Hello

  Put it supplied recovery media in the DVD player, turn on the laptop and immediately press the C button. Please, keep it down for about 5-10 seconds. It will require your notebook to start recovery media playback and start the process OS installations.

  If there is nothing to check with your dealer tomorrow and I am sure that you will get a new notebook. usually the Exchange should not be problematic.

• Satellite L40 - Wi - Fi connection after restart problem

  Hello

  My sister had a Toshiba Satellite L40 (PSL40E - 04501DDU) and a few days ago I installed a wireless router at home.
  Wi - Fi worked within 2 minutes, but when I restarted the laptop he couldn't find any Wi - Fi networks (whereas before I restarted, I found 4).

  It took me about an hour to make it work again
  -Turn off/on Wi - Fi
  -several reboots
  -deletion of a Wi - Fi connection - configs
  -switching between Vista Wi-Fi-tool and without configuration by Toshiba
  -updated drivers
  -etcetera...

  I don't know which of them did the trick, but after going through all these actions it seemed to work again.
  I thought I had conquered the problem, but only today (after only 1.5 days) my sister contacted me saying that the Wi - Fi 'fell down' again.

  Does anyone know what could be the problem?

  When I look in this forum I see about 1200-forum topics on the problems of Wifi on Toshiba laptops, so I guess it's a recurring problem with several models of Toshiba.
  Most of the subjects also speaks a Wifi works very well and doesn't work anymore after restart/sleep/hibernation.

  Laptop: PSL40E - 04501DDU
  OS: Windows Vista 32-bit (latest updates + latest drivers)

  (Please, no answers like: "is your DHCP on?") or "the router is compatible with the Wi - Fi device?")

  Hi crazysoul,.

  I understand that you don't know the answer to that, because you are not always there when the Wi - Fi fails, but if the laptop is not looking upwards * all * networks, the same as before?

  What WLAN driver version is installed on this laptop? The most recent is 7.6.0.164.1, it can be interesting to update. Also, forgive me if you already checked, but under network adapters Device Manager, find the device wireless and in the Properties window, if there is a power management make tab you unchecked the checkbox to turn off the device to save power.

• Satellite L40 - installation of XP cannot detect HARD drive

  Hi, Toshiba support

  I have Satellite L40 - 18Y (PSL48E-03702NAR) with Windows Vista

  I want to install Windows XP, but I can't because my HDD is SATA and installation of windows XP cannot detect the HARD drive.

  I know that I have to update my BIOS.
  I have 2 files on Toshiba drivers download

  I downloaded their extract them & try to update the BIOS one. After that, I log in the BIOS
  I can't find (HARD drive Mode) must Mode IDE.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Hello!

  > How can I solve this problem?
  I think you find hundreds of discussions in the forum about this please use the forum search!

  A BIOS update is not necessary to install Windows XP. You only need the SATA drivers you can find in the Intel Storage Manager driver package that can be downloaded on the Toshiba site. Pilots must be integrated during the XP installation with an external floppy drive or use you nLite to create a new installation disc.

  Anyway, check this link from Toshiba which is an order exact step by step installation:

• Satellite L40 cannot start or recognize the hard drive

  Hi all

  I bought a new Satellite L40 without windows or CD come with him,
  so now when I put the Xp CD, the drive cannot recognized the hard drive or a CD-Rom.

  error message
  Reboot and select boot device prober, or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a KEY.

  I'm not saying any key LOL
  It suppose to be all LOL key to

  Please your help in this matter

  Here another thread about the installation of the SATA drivers!
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

  You must include the * Intel Matrix Storage Manager * during the XP installation process.
  As far as I know you have to press the F6 key to include the external USB FDD drive driver.
  Once you have included the SATA driver * DON T format the drive HARD * or create all partitions because that would erase the included driver!

  Another possibility to include the SATA drivers is the use of the * software to nLite.
  By using this software, you could include the SATA driver in the new created XP CD.
  And then you could boot from the new CD.

  > no initialization of SPARCFichiers of hard disk
  > can not load hard drive
  > Insert systemdisk and press a key

  This error message appears because you didn't boot from the bootable CD and/or the operating system has not been installed on the HARD drive and the laptop I wanted to boot from the HARD drive.

• Satellite L40 - 12 k WinXP - cannot change the brightness of the display

  Got Toshiba Satellite l40 - 12 k laptop.
  Running Windows XP Pro. The problem is that I can not change the brightness of the display even with hotkey utility for Win Vista installed. But if I'm in the bios of these keys work fine. Even when I started these keyboard shortcuts from gParted Live CD worked fine.

  But when I boot Win XP they stop working. So if I want to change the brightness I have to restart or hibernation, the time to change display BRIGHTNESS level because he remembers the last burst upward. So what is the problem? Don't tell about the hardware optimized for Vista, but not for other OS.

  When there will be avaible vor Win XP drivers? OK I understand it's MS that has the problem to a normal BONE, but well guys it is so big problem to run under XP?

  The funny thing is that everything else works fine and all the drivers I needed, I found in the homepage of Intel. So can hope on a support user, because now I know that it is not hardware problem because even a Live CD of gParted worked these keyboard shortcuts?

  PS Sorry for my bad English.

  > So what's the problem? Don't tell about the hardware optimized for Vista, but not for other OS.

  Unfortunately, you are right. The XP is not compatible with the BIOS on the L40.
  Several different sets of Toshiba supports two different BIOS for XP and Vista.

  The Fn keys does not work because the BIOS does not support the XP completely.

  I think that you will not be able to use the FN key pressed until the BIOS and drivers needed for XP will be released.

• Satellite L40 - 14 H: conection wifi cannot be established.

  Hello
  I have problem with wirelless and Satellite L40 - 14 H, radar can see conections but if I try to conect it says that the connection cannot be established, it's in every café or hotel, in that I was.
  And operating system is Vista home.

  Thank you
  Krsto

  For the most part, this problem occurs if:

  -Wireless network card is not totally compatible with the access point
  -WLan signal is too weak
  -WLan is secure and you do not use the right encryption key
  -Access point put the MAC address filtering
  -WLan driver is not updated.
  -Wlan Vista security settings public use of WLan

  Recommend to check all points of this all by ensuring that all these points are consistent with the parameters of your laptop!

• Cannot run the CHKDSK - Satellite L40-139 process

  When I start my laptop (Toshiba Satellite L40-139) always starts to run chkdsk
  He completed the phase 1 and then when it is at 30% through stage 2 it just goes directly to the login screen.

  I was wondering if someone can help me correct what I want to start the whole process.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can run chkdsk after Windows has started.
  Type in the CMD COMMAND.
  The console should open and there you can use the command * chkdsk *.

  That's all.

• Satellite L40 - 15G - WiFi does not work - cannot activate usign FN + F8

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite L40 - 15 G with windows 7 32 bit and my wireless is not working, the pilot is OK
  I do FN + F8 and I can't active wireless :(

  What should I do more?

  Hello

  The Fn + F8 isn't really essential to use the WiFi network. Generally, the WiFi network should be enabled by default.
  So even if the Fn + F8 does not work, the WiFi network must be enabled.
  You see the local network card in Device Manager? Is it correctly recognized?

  Where he is, follow these steps:
  Go to the control panel (switch to the large or small icon view)-> network & sharing Center-> left column manage wireless networks
  Add here new WLan and configure it by using the right SSID, encryption and password encryption.

• Satellite L40 - cannot read with Windows XP SDHC cards?

  Hello

  last year, I bought a Satellite L40 series and a Windows Vista has been installed on it. I found that everything worked properly.

  Since then, I found that Windows Vista is slower than XP, I upgraded to Windows XP and I installed all the drivers manually. Everything works fine until I found that I can read only SD card with the Ricoh card reader on my laptop. With Windows Vista, he could read SD and SDHC.

  Like all of my files saved to the SDHC, I really want to solve this issue.

  I detected on the computer that is my card reader equipment:

  Ricoh Memory Stick Host controller (1.0.2.5)
  Ricoh MMC Host COntroller (1.0.0.9)
  Ricoh XD-Picture Card Host Controller (1.00.02.08 / 6.0.1.13)

  The questions are:
  1. the drive to read SDHC card with the Windows XP platform?
  2. If Yes, what should I do with it? Maybe I need to install a new driver? (If Yes, where can I find it?)

  Thank you for your concern. I'm really happy if you can help me solve this issue.

  Best regards
  Jenny

  Hello

  You may notice yellow exclamation in Device Manager?

  Normally, the Satellite L40 can read SDHC cards up to 8 GB so my question is have you tried different brands of SDHC cards?
  I have good experiences with Kingston and SanDisk cards.

  In addition, you should check the Web from Toshiba site for an update of the card reader:

• Cannot start XP installation on Vista Home Premium preinstalled Satellite L40-139

  Here's the problem:

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L40-139 in Austria and comes preinstalled Vista. OK, Vista is in German, and I don't know German. But I made a choice to learn German and to start using a Vista. After a month Vista drives me crazy (no language, just for Vista) and I want to just install XP. I didn't need something more.
  I spent more then five days trying to archive this, but without success and I am disappointed, much.

  I put aside all types of teaching and I did a lot of things, but none of them helped me.
  So the problem is like this:
  I made the partition for XP, so I have two partitions as: Vista (C), (D) XP and Datas (G) and my CD/DVD (E :).
  I activated just boot from the CD/DVD, but when I insert the CD and start the installation of Vista it tells me something like this:
  Press any key to boot from CD...
  When I do that, I get a message, which is very fast where it says something like that, (I'm not quiet sure what it says because it's fast):
  Checking your configuration...
  After that, nothing happens, don't know why, I just get black monitor and CD/DVD does not work anymore?

  It's driving crazy me and I can't install XP.
  It seems that does not recognize the CD/DVD, and I tried with several XP bootable CD/s and they work on my desk.

  Can someone help, please, because I'm going crazy?

  If you have installed XP on this notebook L40 Vista you need a BIOS update to the XP version. All that s
