  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

  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 - cannot start Windows

  Hello

  hope you can help, my computer Toshibal L40 laptop on commissioning began by displaying the following error message:

  * "Cannot start Windows. a recent change in the software hardware might be causing... » *

  It offers the possibility of:
  "* Launch Startup Repair option" * "

  I chose this. WIndows seems to load up, but then I get the following error message:

  Installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer *.

  I lost the recovery disk, but attempted to load the recovery console by using a windows XP disk, but it gave me error message more. Advice would be very welcome.

  For the installation of Vista you don't need SATA driver but for Windows XP Home edition you need. Is no problem at all.

  The question is what you want to do now? If you want to use Vista just use recovery media and you will have factory again.
  No problem at all.

  Hi Michael

  I think that the Windows operating system does not start because certain important files are damage.

  Seems safe mode does not work too; (it's really a bad situation.

  You have a Toshiba Recovery disk?
  If so, use it. Try to boot from the recovery CD and try to reinstall new OS.

  I know, it's a drastic procedure because you HARD drive will be formatted, but in my opinion, this is your last option.

• Satellite L40 - how to restore factory settings?

  I really hope that someone can help me before I break my laptop.

  I have a portable Satellite L40, who started showing an error logonui.exe on the login page, at the same time, the error avrt.dll started and my sound stopped working.
  I tried to put a new avrt.dll file, which it won't let me.
  So I decided to do a clean install of the operating system (vista).

  I don't have a recovery disk to do it well, so I tried to do a factory reset, by pressing F11, 0 and C, I was able to access the page where you enter your product key, which said while the sources\install.wim was not present and could not continue.
  Then I tried F8 Repair computer, that when he goes to the page with 6 options, does give me the option of HARD drive recovery, it is said to restore complete windows, but don't give out information when I press on it.

  Does anyone know if there is a way to solve this problem, as I'm getting rather annoyed now. Thank you

  Hey Buddy

  As I m wrong not Sat L40 has not was equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
  So, you won't be able to recover without recovery disks or Microsoft Windows disk.

  Put the recovery disk (if you don t have this recovery disk using your own drive of Microsoft Windows) and boot from the CD or DVD.
  The required drivers are available on the Toshiba page and you could download it after the installation of the OS Win.

  Notes; you need the serial key of Microsoft to activate windows. You cannot use the Toshiba serial key which is placed at the bottom of the unit. It belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and will not work with your private version

• Satellite L40 beeps spontaneously from time to time

  Since I bought my Toshiba Satellite L40, I started noticing that he paged spontaneously from time to time, rarely, but sometimes it does.

  The sound is like a Bios, a single beep, and nothing happens. There are two beep once a day, or a week, most commonly, it emits a sound when I'm browsing the net and are not resource intensive tasks running.

  Well, I noticed by clicking inside beep while too much light. I already checked my HARD disk with various tools, nothing bad, SMART shows 100% health, the temperature is normal, no overheating, I don't know what that would be.

  Please help, someone, I don't want to go to the center of maintenance for the solution.
  Laptop brand new, works very well, no sync or something of the sort, just this thing.

  Hello

  You said it appears only during navigation in the web site?

  Are you sure that this noise is coming from the inside of the laptop and not from the speakers?

  I mean there are a lot of various advertisements in the web using flash, flash animations use sometimes sound. Perhaps this beep belongs to the Web site that you visit sometimes

  Of course, this is only a theory, but exactly what happened to me.
  I was wondering about a strange noise. Finally I discovered that it was advertising on one of the pages I've visited. He was hiding in the corner and I didn t notice first time

  Hello, I have a problem with the SATELLITE L40-139

  the thing is when I press the power button / stop, hard drive led will begin to Flash, CD-ROM led is lit and the screen is black. I noticed that advise in the CD-ROM makes a sound ICT in the same way the hdd led flashes (when it flashes I hear a tick form CD, yes I unfolded any computer laptop).

  I can only say that I have connected my PC HARD drive and it's working., good fan is not working too, but I think it will start, after some time (as he always did)

  Notebook crash circumstances are now saying: that a year ago, he fell from 1 inch (such height ;]) I saw that the ribbon cable connecting the touchpad to the mohterboard was broken and my diidn can't start computer, I thought that there's a problem, but I forgot and left the laptop for more than 9 months (with hard disassebled and battery and cd-rom drive) and then I decided to try to turn it on.
  And viola! It works it boots etc.

  After a month of being happy, I'm drunk I couldn't sit on the Chair and I decided to sleep with my laptop on the bed, I lied right down and put the laptop on my belly and it crashed (screen freezes) so I decided to reboot, but it does not start.

  Here is a video with what I get when turning the power on it: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC0pGBBVwJk] (not Fortunately my phone fell in the mud and shifts when I record videos)

  Some people suggest I should connect an external display to see if theres no picture but the result is always the same. (Screen not even fuels not on)

  Maybe someone could help me fix without sending it to the customer service.

  See you soon.

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. Of course, you can try to do some tests and try to make some conclusions which may be wrong. After his last stop somewhere I think that there is big problem with graphics card. Of course I can't say it for sure.

  Diagnosis just exact mainboard can offer answers. I m afraid mainboard is dead and must be exchanged.

• Satellite L40 - 15G - does not start, only power LED lights

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite L40 - 15G that will not start. I click the power button, or with the battery, and only the power led alternately. I can open and close the cd/dvd, but nothing else works. No beeps when I remove the memory, the hard drive led blinks even. I tried with another hard drive, and it's the same thing.

  Could this be the motherboard, the processor?

  Appreciate the help!

  Hello

  Unfortunately, it looks like a hardware malfunction. I guess that it s related to the motherboard or perhaps CPU, if you have already tried another memory module.

  You should go to an authorized service provider. Guys have good diagnostic tools to check your laptop and repair. In addition, they can order spare parts Toshiba.

  Sorry, but everything that s what I can say. Here he only a user to s forum

• Satellite L40 - 14 H - do not start after the successful BIOS update

  Hello

  I have Satellite L40 - 14 H which was working fine until I thought to an update of the BIOS will not hurt. Seems I was wrong.

  I downloaded the update to the BIOS, it unzipped in a folder and started the action.

  After a few seconds was asked to wait, and then after few more firm.

  After the reboot, I pressed F2 to enter the BIOS and check that it is version everything was fine, version 2.0 so was I left once the parameters.

  After that, nothing happened.

  I almost tried everything without success. Removed the power and battery power, put their back, but still no start. Just the light of the HARD drive lights up for a few seconds and the cd turns a bit, but after that nothing happens at all and completely the screen is black.

  I don't know anything else to try.

  Please let me know what that can do to restore its functionality without taking it to the service, I can't do it.
  I think that may not be cause of failure of the BIOS update I have seen it is the version and was right.
  Is it possible to reset the BIOS? I need to disassemble the laptop to do this?
  Let me know what to do, I have good experience in such things, but I can't understand this.

  Thanks in advance for any response.

  Kind regards
  Stefan

  Hello

  I agree with Akuma. It really isn't that you can do about it. BIOS problems are complex and cannot be set by the owner of the laptop. Believe me you need professional help with this.
  Contact the closest Toshiba ASP and explain the situation.

• 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

• Satellite L40 is dead - will not start

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me. My laptop just died!
  It's a Toshiba Satellite L40 machine. It exploded suddenly and when I tried to put it back on in the morning nothing!

  I tried without battery, with battery. I checked originally charge with the multimeter adapter and works very well. All I get is a clear green battery on the laptop itself when it is connected to the power supply with battery in. I have checked the motherboard no sign of discoloration or loose connections.

  I thought it might be the battery that's dead. The laptop needs to use the battery in the circuit? I would like to know if anyone has had this problem until I pass out on a new battery.

  I hope there, can someone help me please!

  Thank you

  Jamjul

  Laptop didn't need dough as part of the electric circuit and you can use it with AC power only. If you cannot start your laptop with power running without battery, I fear that there is a serious hardware problem. Probably with electronic power supply.

  This hardware malfunction is quite complicated and it should be repaired by authorized personnel only. Then contact the closest service as soon as possible and ask for help.

• 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 - 10U - does not start

  Hello

  My Satellite L40 - 10U won't boot to the top. I turn it on, fan, DVD-ROM, battery LED works. Hard drive LED flashes only once (if I'm lucky). The screen is blank, in the light of the Sun, I noticed it darkenes lit, but no other activity (I tried external, still nothing). I also tried the trick with removing the battery push the power button, and plug the charger, etc but still nothing.

  Now, I noticed that when I remove the Rams (or try connecting only once in time) it still does exactly the same thing, so I want to make sure if it is a problem with the Rams dead? Is there a way to check the Rams without connecting to another obstacle not tariff (I did not)?
