• Satellite L40 - 17U does not illuminate

  Hello world!

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite L40 - 17U.
  It lights without a battery. Laptop works for several minutes with the battery, then turns off. Can it work without the battery? If it is possible, then, what can be the problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  If there is no problem with electronic power supply each notebook can operate with power current only (removed battery).

• Need driver Intel 965 Chipset for Satellite L40 - 17U running Vista Home

  I have a new L40 - 17U equipped Intel 965 Chipset & Vista Home Premium. I'm not interested in games but I can't get the 'Accelerator' to work. If I download & install official drivers, the system still refuses to work properly. Fault code 12. What I'm doing.

  Hello

  > I can't get the 'Accelerator' to work
  May I ask what you mean with Accelerator?

  Normally if you take drivers on the Toshiba page everything should work properly. I can t imagine that this driver doesn't work correctly.

  So as he has already written to try to reset the BIOS to default settings.
  In the worst case, you must reinstall the laptop using Toshiba recovery disc.

  Hi mate,

  How long do you have these problems with your DVD player? Already tried some drive cleaner? Would be helpful since the laser could be polluted that might cause these strange error messages and the behavior of your player.

  Go to some radio shack or electronic market and buy some DVD player lens cleaner kit. They really sometimes help and the drive works after cleaning like a charm.
  If this doesn´t help then I recommend you to contact a certified partner to enable them to control your machine and DVD player on the malfunctioning of the equipment.

  Welcome and good weekend

• Re: Passing the record reader user C to E drive Satellite L40 - 17U

  Hello

  The HARD disk is partitioned with the 'C' drive users and any system/vista files. C drive now more complete. Many tried to copy the user folder on disk 'E' with only partial success. Want to remove c altogether and switch to E - in order to separate the data files and re-allocated.

  Any ideas greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  You just have to change the path in the folder properties.
  Turn right click the file, choose Properties and there should be an option that allows you to change the patch.

• Strange keyboard on my Satellite L40 problem

  I have laptop Satellite L40 - 17u, and I had it again for about 2 months. My keyboard now seems to do its own thing. I'm going to the settings to correct this. It is ok for a while then goes haywire once again, so leave some letters on the key on board either entered numbers, some type at all, and not to tap the buttons I'm pressing.

  I did a reforming and it always goes the same way.
  Any ideas please?
  Thank you

  You have recently installed a keyboard related software like AllChars? Exactly what settings change to correct the missbehaviour on your keyboard? If activate you NumLock?

• Satellite L40 don't stop with power connected and is not in sleep mode

  Hello world. I hope someone can help me. Basically, there are two problems: one with judgment of the laptop (Satellite L40 - 17U (Vista 32 bit Home Premium SP1)) down when power is connected and the other with closing the lid and put it to sleep.

  1. in recent weeks, it all of a sudden won't stop, whenever power is connected. When it's on battery, it will stop. When the power is connected, and I try to stop, it seems that it closed down (all activity stops and the led goes off) for about 1 or 2 seconds, then it goes back.

  2. when I close the lid (all settings in Vista are set to put the laptop in a State of 'sleep' when the lid is closed), the laptop enters a State where it cannot be recovered by stopping by pressing the power button for 10 seconds to close completely. When closing the cover, only the battery LED continues to Flash orange (the way it should be), but apparently the laptop keeps consuming power, because when I restart later (first having to close as described above) tends to be quite an empty battery as it was before the next redΘmarrage it (like go from 100% to 65% in 30 minutes as "standby mode"). Also, when I open the cover, the other LEDS will on new (green), but nothing happens.
  After the restart first by pressing the power button for 10 seconds to close, I often get the message that Windows cannot be started and run the system repair.

  I just do a completely clean install with the product recovery CD (has not installed SP1 yet), updated to v1.90 BIOS, but the problem remains.

  I'm afraid that my only option will be to bring him away for a warranty repair, but knowing that these repairs can take weeks, I'd rather try a solution here could someone recommend me first. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

  Thank you

  Hi guys

  Never had this problem on my laptop, but with regard to an other users here in the forum the BIOS might help solve such strange behavior for laptop
  To be honest the closed question is unclear for me I noticed a problem before on my laptop but the update of the BIOS helped.

  This is why I recommend update BIOS first.
  If the problem still appears, the ASP should take a look in the notebook.

  Good luck

• Re: Unable to update BIOS onSatellite L40 - 17U

  Hello

  So, my laptop is Satellite L40 - 17U currently running bios 1.80 and try to update
  to 5.50.

  In windows 7, I'm trying to update the BIOS with the supplied *.bat file
  toshiba Web site, I get an error:

  Failure of WinIo initialization (WinIo.sys)

  What could cause this error?

  I also have an odd configuration of the OSes. It is installed Grub, which place in Ubuntu
  or load the windows Boot Manager go where I can choose either Windows 7 (64-bit) or
  XP (32 bit).

  In addition, there are 4 partitions:
  C for windows 7
  D XP
  E - just for storing files
  and one for Ubuntu.

  Do you know how can I solve this problem and update my BIOS?
  Or can you offer other methods such as loading from a flash drive and do it regardless
  the operating system?

  ASI see THIS BIOS update for Windows XP Home edition.

  Have you tried to start it under WXP_

  By the way: what is the reason for the update of the BIOS? You have a problem with your laptop?

• Satellite L40 15G - Touchpad behaves erratically

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 laptop 15G, and recently, I am aware that the cursor has not correctly when using the Touchpad.

  That I usually use a mouse with my laptop with absolutely NO problems, I do not know how long the touchpad works wrong.

  According to the specifications of the system, the speed controller is labeled Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad, 10.0.3.0 Version.
  Well, it is the last in use, because since I have detected the anomaly, I tried a lot of Synaptics Touchpad drivers with no result.

  However, I have tried this [workaround | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Keyboards-Touchpads/Solved-Synaptic-Touchpad-not-working/m-p/272949#M10565] and the Touchpad seemed to work properly. But for just 30 seconds after the startup process in Windows environment?  :|. After that, the cursor slowly begins to act erratically.
  After a second reboot, the slider have the same erratic behavior as before, using the touchpad.
  In Safe Mode, the problem is the same.

  The only way to recreate the same "normal" cursor using touchpad behavior done this workaround mentioned before.

  Note: in all cases, the buttons on the keypad two touchscreen works perfectly. If the mouse USB.

  Can someone give me some clues to solve this problem?
  Thank you very much!

  I guess that your touchpad module his/her.
  The solution described seems to be only a time option in case the touchpad would stop working due to some problems in the system.
  But in your case, it looks like a hardware problem.

• Re: Satellite L40: strange sound USB

  Hi everyone :)
  First of all sorry for my English...

  I recently purchased a L40 - 17U satellite with vista home premium.

  Everything works fine, but I do not understand one thing...

  When I close the Panel/lid and computer goes to sleep/hibernate play a sound (exactly its system - as when disconecting usb). When I open the lid and computer wakes up and plays a sound too, as connection usb... but it's strange, the sound is without ALL the usb devices connected... There is no USB device connected to one of the three usb ports...

  All the works of devives (if logged in) usb very well before and after putting into hibernation, there is no problem with usb, next to that strange noise... There may be any internal device that is disconnected and connected when hibernate? It is not a RTL8187B wlan card (I found somewhere on the internet information, from a guy who has the same sound in his L40, he took off the wlan card and the noise was still there... but for this, no info on what causes this noise)

  I have in my fujitsu siemens Li2727 Office book, and there is no noise like that when going to Hibernate...

  And my question is:
  Is this normal? You have in your L40 the same? What is this mean sound?

  Thanks in advance
  Tom

  Eventually it s only a problem of Vista;

  I found this article Ms knowledge base:

  * + A USB device may no longer work correctly when Windows Vista comes out of standby or hibernation + *.

  Check it out.
  Maybe it helps.

  Good bye

• Strange problem on my Satellite L40-139

  I've been strugling with a problem for a while now, and I don't have a lot of aid assistance. Its like my new Toshiba has a memory problem, but I don't know if its caused by Windows Vista or if its HW related.

  This is what happens:

  When I surfed with IE7 og have 7 tabs open at the same time, his similar windows runs out of memory, all of a sudden I can not open a new tab and do a right click on the touchpad does not react. If I can minimize IE7 and right-click on the desktop nothing product.
  If I then close some programs (his only Yahoo Messenger og coreTemp running (coreTemp shows how hot your cpu and min is constantly between og 56 64 degrees celsius)), then right click works again.

  Usually when that happens, I can't even upward Task Manager, but if I close Yahoo Messenger so that I can, and now I see that it is used about 47% memory, under process I can see that:

  Yahoo uses up to 50MB
  IEXPLORER 27-150MB
  og Dwm.exe takes up to 120 MB.

  The problem also happens if Yahoo is not started, so this isn't the cause.

  I disabled aero and minimal use of all things Vista comes with, then the I me maximum performance following most of the instructions of www.Vistaguide.dk but the problem persists whenever I use IE and use more than 7 tabs (this should not happen, and using more than 7 tabs is perfectly normal).

  In addition to surfing the net, I use it for video playback with VLC or GOM player and music from Winamp. I don't play games.
  Here he is never short of memory.

  His Danish Vista Home Premium and in general I think it runs worse than what Home Basic on 2 GB of ram.

  My laptop is a Toshiba satellite L40-139:

  Intel Celeron M 520 clocked at 1.6 Ghz, 2 GB DDR II 667 Mhz (which fits the model), Toshiba 120 GB HDD S - ata, Atheros Wi - fi, 943GML chipset.
  Comes with Norton Internet security pre-installed.

  I put auto tunning high heat: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglev = high

  It has not solved the problem.

  Basically its like Vista is simply out of memory, but I can see in taskmanager which is not the case since there are only 47% of 2 GB of Ram with a 4096 MB swap file.

  What I don't understand, is that there are other people who have a similair system and they do not have this problem.

  I scanned for viruses and other dirt with Dr Web Cure and it found nothing, neither Norton.

  The things that I think could be causing this is:
  1 Norton Internet Security 2007, which could have a flaw that makes this place.
  2. the CPU is has a 533 Mhz FSB and Ram a 667 Mhz FSB (should be only a problem if the Ram is slower than the CPU). Memtest says they are OK.
  3 Vista has an error which allows to not release the memory again, but it stacks up just up until the error occurs.
  4. the fact that there is a flaw in my CPU or chipset.

  If its 4, the Toshiba has a program so I can test it?

  The problem has been there since I bought one even with th initial Ram inserted.

  I love hearing from Toshiba, which may be the cause/solution for this, and if someone else knows it please let me know, I can't be the only one.

  With greetings

  Jan Johansson

  Hello Jan

  You are not alone with this. You won't believe me, but it happens on my two laptops. I use more Satellite M70 with WXP and Satellite P200D with Vista Home Premium. This strange issue with IE7 arrives on two laptops.

  I know with certainty that at the beginning M70 I didn t notice this problem. As you know anytime a Microsoft automatic update and maybe a few patches is responsible for this. Sorry, but I don't know what we can do. Only solution is to close IE7 and IE7 end process running in Task Manager.

  Just for example: I tested it with Opera browser and there is no problem at all. If you want you can test also.
