  The led drive usually flickers, but is it not also.
  Can someone please?

  I tried to install Windows to new cd Vista recovery disk and it worked for 2-3 days then the same problem black screen nothing works!

  Please help me I have not installed any hardware or changed any material!

  It is a toshiba Satellite L40

  Thank you

  Hello

  You should try to first remove the battery and disconnect the power adapter for about 20-30 min. after that time reconnect both part and try to start Notepad.
  Usually, this should help to restart the laptop.

  In addition, a BIOS update must be performed.
  I read that a BIOS update resolves many strange problems and that I myself remember the black screen problem could be solved also.

  So check it out and good luck

• Satellite L40 - Sleed and standby does not work correctly

  I have a portable Satellite L40 and it worked correctly until now. I turn and after I have put on standby (stand-by) mode; When I want to use my system, so to get that back to normal (I press the turn power button to exit the mode "standby" button), Windows Vista 32-bit restarts - it is not back to the moment I left it before the "sleep mode".

  Therefore, restarting Windows Vista 32-bit, and the screen "Windows has been disabled incorrect" appears instead to return to the configuration of the system that let him before sleep / standby mode.

  What can I do to fix this and make "sleep" mode works correctly?

  Hello!

  In your case, I'd do a BIOS update. You can search for updates on the Toshiba site
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  You should also look into the mangment of power. Here, you configure what happened when you close the screen, press the power button and so far.

• Satellite L40-139 and Midi interface

  I have Satellite L40-139, which includes a SoundMax sound card (somewhere inside) and I would like to be able to use it as the basis for a music recording Midi put in place, but I can't get the computer to recognize the Phonic Midi to USB interface, I.

  The map SoundMax accepts data Midi and how can I do to make him recognize?

  Hello

  I put t know what you want to do exactly.
  Depending on your message that you try to connect an external 3rd device to the USB port. Am I wrong?
  How a sound chip should recognize this device? I was a little confused m

  However, I think that you should first check if this 3rd party device has been properly recognized and installed on the laptop. It is an essential condition if you want to use.

  PS; If you use the Vista operating system, you need to check if this 3rd party device supports Vista too!

• I have Satellite L40-139 and need to restore the factory settings

  The problem is, that the recovery of the program disk does not open automatically and even hold down F8 at the beginning upward does not work as I get another page to the screen showing the details of American Megatrends and no option to return to factory setings.

  Any ideas how I can get around this? This page has only been for about a week.

  Thank you

  I don't know what you're doing exactly, because it automatically start confuses me, and I do not understand you exactly.

  Before discussing the installation of recovery, I would like to know what you are doing exactly.
  You try to start the installation of the OS on the procedure of recovery DVD or disk HARD recovery using F8 and disturbances of my computer?

• Satellite L300-1AP and Win8 - black screen on startup

  Hello

  My computer starts as usual, the first screens come well and it will also in the journal of the user on the fine screen.

  However when he was usually in the Windows 8 home screen it goes just a black screen.

  The mouse icon is still there and the work, but the only thing that I can get up is the Task Manager.

  No idea what it is? Eventually a failure of a Windows 8 pilot as everything else seems to work?

  Thank you!

  I agree with Timox; It would be interesting to know if the laptop is working correctly by using another system; in the best case with the system pre-installed and pre-configured by Toshiba or Windows 7.

  I m interested also in the installation procedure you install Win8? Did move you from Win 7 to 8 Win or did you do a fresh install?

• Satellite L40-139 and WXP - how an audio device to work?

  I recently reinstalled Windows XP on my laptop and after having managed to download the drivers for my wifi video ect I arrived to the sound I have downloaded the driver but it still does not that my laptop doesn't show any recorded audio device. How can I make them work?

  That's what I see when I got to his http://i47.tinypic.com/25u04ds.jpg

  Hello

  On Windows XP, you must install the two updates for your sound card:
  AUDIO Patch1: Http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835221 KB835221
  AUDIO 2 Patch: KB888111 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111

  Alternative you can install SP3 because it contains these patches!

  But before installing, remove the current sound driver. The driver must be installed after Windows updates.

• Vista and satellite L40

  A year that I have Satellite L40 for this year only one problem.

  Who has guessed to low machine Vista I have a configuration of equipment, I see that it is calculated on XP System I reorganize once a week in talk, all goes well with the iron. Probably to reorganize Win XP on mine?

  Upon receipt of the update, I can't load system, only black screen. I am very satisfied with your product and support. We won't have the data that appear on your site.
  Letters unanswered. A bad product with poor support.

  Hello

  I read your ad three times and I still didn't understand what you mean. If you're ready to write discussion please a bit more of your reviews. To be honest I didn t understand what data on the Toshiba site, you mean. You wrote about the specification of the laptop?

  A friend of mine has Satellite L40 too and it works well. The fact is that Toshiba offers several models of different laptops with different hardware specifications. When compare you them in the store the first thing you see is the price. So, if you compare L40 Satellite and Satellite A300, you will see the difference.
  It is logical that a notebook of budget with basic configuration that your L40, do not have the same hardware as a laptop that costs more than 400 euros.
  L40 with this basic hardware platform can be used with Vista, but you can not expect some fabulous performances. What you need is RAM upgrade and configuration of the operating system right and you will see the difference.

  Older L10 and L20 were also not laptops more faster with Windows XP Home edition. Two of them were also provided with the minimum of RAM but acceptable for Windows XP Home edition.

  So if you want to discuss a little more on your laptop, please let us know what problems you have. Maybe we can help and see what you can do to make it better.

  Good luck!

• LAN and WLan doesn't work on Satellite L40 - 18W

  Hi all

  I have TOSHIBA Satellite L40 - 18W and my 1 - wireless problem not knitting & wired lan does not work.
  I download driver and everything is ok, but it doesn't work (when I search by wireless I can't find any network.) My router works fine)

  Please help me

  Hello

  It is difficult to understand what you mean by not working do not.
  Does that mean exactly?
  You are not able to connect to the internet or what?

  Usually, if the wireless network card and LAN card have been properly recognized in Device Manager, then the drivers are working properly and the problem could be related to the router configuration bad or maybe some active firewall, etc.

  First I recommend that you check the router settings. Check if the router has been configured with the right data from ISP and if all other options have been properly set.

  The laptop supports the Realtek Wlan and LAN card.
  Check if the wireless card uses the same standard WLan as the WLan router and if the right encryption has been used too.

• Word and Office don't work on Satellite L40 - 14F

  Hello?

  I am Irina of Kiew (Ukraine).
  I just bought a Satellite L40 - 14F and can t use Word and Office (Vista). I have no internet at home, so I can't pass the RECORD for Word and Office...
  What should I do?
  Please, answer me!

  It seems that you are unable to activate Office and therefore you cannot use the software.
  Don t be angry with me, but I don't really understand why you ask for the solution.
  The solution is simply. You must activate the Microsoft software ;)

  Generally, the serial key is always placed on the cover of the CD. There must be a label with a compatible serial key.

  If the software was already preinstalled on this laptop, then you need the internet connection to activate this software product.
  Maybe you can take the phone to your friend or a public place with Internet and could enable desktop.

• Problems of updating BIOS on Satellite L40 - 15G

  Good afternoon.

  I have Toshiba Satellite L40 - 15G and I want to put 4 GB of ram (2 x 2).
  It works with 3 GB but with 4 GB it just does not start - gives me a blue screen.

  I read on the internet and discovered that I have to update my BIOS (my version curent is 1.60).
  I have vista 32 bit. I also tried to do the update via the site of toshiba, but without success.
  I am running the .exe file, but when I restart the computer I have the same version.

  What should I do?

  In the hope of a response.
  Pedro

  Hello

  I think you are using an incorrect BIOS.
  Satellite L40 - 15 G seems to belong to the series of PSL48E

  Check again!

  Toshiba Europe page provides a BIOS 2, 00-VICTORY for Vista and WIN-5, 50 for Win XP

  Regarding the upgrade of memory:
  I don't know if your laptop would be m supports 4 GB of RAM. Is that there are different models of L40 and some models supports only 2 GB of RAM!

  Your L40 - 15 G seems to use the Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset...
  Check out the details on the Intel page which RAM max can be managed by the Intel GL960 Express Chipset.

• Satellite L40 - error message during the installation of value-added package

  Hello

  yesterday I installed Windows 7 Professional 32 bit on my Toshiba Satellite L40 PSL40E, everything works fine except the volume on FN + arrow keys/esc control.

  I tried to install all of the packages available to fix the problem, but I can't install the VAP. Every time as I try, I get this error message: error installing PVAT [0x8146045B].
  I ran as administrator and also tried compatibility mode.

  Help please, thx!
  Constantin

  Hello

  Before that you can use the FN keys and other special functions that you need to install Toshiba Value added Package.
  My question is: have you downloaded the package of value added for Satellite L40 (PSL40E) and Windows 7 32 bit? It s is already available for the new Windows 7:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  You have installed the drivers first? They must be installed first normally, e. g. chipset, screen, sound, LAN driver, etc.

• Need some tips to maintenance for laptop - Satellite L40

  Hello

  I have Satellite L40-170, and I have a few questions about her, since it is the my first laptop:

  1 should I remove the battery when it is fully charged and I work on the KT?
  2. If I don't need to use the battery for a period of time (2-3 weeks) I let loaded or unloaded?
  3. I realized how to cleanse the body and screen of the laptop, but I don't know exactly how to clean air vent covers?
  4. I am running XP and the temperature of the CPU, according to Everest varies between 35-55 degrees Celsius, is this normal?
  5. I just read the thread for a L40 fading paint, here in the forum and I grew up very worried, what to do to prevent such an unpleasant effect?

  So, here are my questions for now, I'd be more than happy if I get answers to my questions.

  Thank you in advance!

  CDL 1 & 2 If you work on AC you should removed the battery... But I read it is better for the battery is discharged to 40-50% and then removed... and if you do not use the battery for the longer period, leave is too loaded in 40-50%... There is another opinion - leaving the battery fully charged, but in the two most important is - battery must not be discharged to leave...

  ad.3 vent - use compressed air
  ad.4 temp is ok.
  CDL 5 it is lok as very rare problem, because I don't ' t find any post something like that

• Satellite L40 - failed to update BIOS

  Hello!

  I have Win XP on my Satellite L40 - 14F and I download BIOS update and... * nothing *.
  Only invites to the splash screen for a second and nothing more.
  Please help me!

  Hello

  What to say. It seems that something was wrong during your BIOS update procedure.
  Have you chosen the right BIOS and did you use the correct procedure to update the BIOS?

  The point is that the BIOS package that was downloaded from the Toshiba page must be unzipped first. It is very important that you would have to decompress it correctly.

  In any case, always is the module Rom BIOS has been flashed properly and so the laptop will not start.
  Unfortunately, the ASP is your last resort.
  Ask the guys and should ask for further handling.

  Good luck
