Satellite L40 - nothing happens if I want to start it

I have a Toshiba Satelite L40 - 12z. If I want to start the laptop, nothing happens just the hd activity led flashes very quickly.

What can be the problem?

Hello

You are able to access the BIOS?
You see the Toshiba start screen at the beginning of the boot order?

If the Toshiba start screen does not appear then that would mean that the laptop didn't pass the POST (power on self test) and that would mean that a serious hardware problem has been detected.
A serious hardware problem could be a motherboard fault, RAM, etc.

  • Satellite L40 - nothing happens if I install the Atheros WLAN for Vista update

    I answered the TEMPRO alert to download this update for my laptop Satellite L40. After you have downloaded and double-clicked as suggested on the SetUp.exe file, after a few seconds of 'small wheel', absolutely nothing happens more.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Have you tried to download the driver yourself on the Toshiba site? You can check it out here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    But to be honest the update a driver is not required, or you have problems with your laptop? If you don t have any problems with your WLAN card it s not necessary to update a driver.
    For example, I deleted TEMPRO because I don t need. I can download the drivers myself if I have a few questions.

  • Satellite L300 - nothing happens if I start the recovery disk

    I have a laptop of 1AS L300 Satellite equipped of Vista and I want to restore configuration as when purchased.

    I created 2 DVD restore discs when the first program installation.
    When I boot from the DVD drive with restore discs, I get to choose the language, then that's all. When I click on 'next' I can't go any further. I can move the mouse, but that's all. I tried boot the system by pressing F8 and then repair Windows but only get a black screen and nothing else.

    Is there anything else I can try to format my drive back to factory settings

    Hello!

    I had a similar problem on the first time I used my recovery disks. They stopped at and I can't complete installation.
    Anyway, I started from a normal Windows XP disk to format the drive HARD integer first, and I deleted all partitions. Then I booted from the disc of recovery again and it worked now! :)
    Maybe it works for you also. It s worth a try!

    Last point but not less perhaps the recovery discs are rough or something else. You can create the floppy again?

    Good bye

  • Satellite L500 - nothing happens if I eject a USB device

    I just bought a Satellite L500 with Windows 7 pre-installed. When I try to eject USB - memory stick devices and a mobile modem, nothing happens and the indicators on the devices show that they are always connected. My old laptop with XP was capable of shut-off devices.

    The devices work properly when inserted. What is a problem with Windows 7, or what I need to change a setting somewhere?

  • Satellite U300 - nothing happens when SD/SDHC cards are plugged

    Got a Satellite U300 with Vista home premium
    Got a year ago almost and is never used the SD card reader. Now I want to use it, but can't find how to achieve or why it does not work?

    Insertion of a card in the card reader does not answer at all.

    Is there anything need to be turned on?
    All drivers that must be installed (tried a driver read SD but no luck with that)?
    It is a software error or machine?

    Thanks for the replies.

    Hello

    Hmm... It of difficult to say what s wrong
    I think that you first need to understand if you use compatible cards.
    I put t know what U300 you exactly but some U300 supports these cards:

    8MB - 2 GB SD card
    4 GB SDHC card
    16MB - 2 GB xD Picture card
    Memory Stick 8 to 256 MB
    Memory Stick Pro 256 MB to 2 GB
    MultiMediaCard 8 MB - 1 GB
    miniSD (with SD adapter) 32 MB - 2 GB

    Check if you used the card support.

    In addition, you should check the status of the SD card reader in Device Manager if there is some yellow exclamation points. If so, then this would mean that the unit is not installed and working properly.

  • How to stop Satellite L40 - 14N connect to non-preferred networks?

    I'll put up a Satellite L40 - 14N notebook and only want it to be able to connect to a designated wireless LAN router. The network adapter is a Realtek RTL8187B and the laptop runs Windows Vista Edition home premium (v6.0.6000). The machine is currently working on a WLAN with WPA pre-shared key.

    I have read a number of Web pages such as:

    http://ask-Leo.com/how_can_i_block_neighboring_wireless_networks.html

    At halfway on this page, it displays the setting "Automatically connect to non preferred networks" in one of the boxes of properties. In the property fields I see on this machine the I can't find this setting and I don't have a list of options to change the priority of connection or preferred networks.

    Does anyone know if the automatic connection to other networks can be disabled on this computer and if so... How?

    I need the machine for details of a unique WLAN connection and if the network is not present then do not access anything else.

    I noticed the "Connect to a more preferred network if available" parameter in one of the other properties boxes, is this similar?

    Any help much appreciated! :-)

    Pete

    Hello

    "As explained on the website of the 3rd party you should uncheck the option to automatically connect to the non preferred networks.
    You must mark the neighbours WLan and press the properties button.
    Then a new window should open and on the Connections tab, you should * uncheck * the option called + Connect then this network is in range.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - after I start the update of the BIOS, nothing happens

    I'm trying to update my BIOS version 2.00 - WIN for Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE.
    My OS is Vista 64 bit.

    I downloaded the file and run the .exe but nothing happens.

    I also tried to copy the files on a diskette and start with a floppy disk, however, I get an error message saying to remove the diskette in the drive on startup. Any help please?

    First update the BIOS for Satellite Pro L40 is based on Windows it of possible to update in DOS mode.

    Also, I checked the Web from Toshiba site and I can only find a BIOS for Windows XP and Windows Vista 32-bit.
    It seems that the update of the BIOS is not supported for Vista 64-bit.

    If you want to update, you need to change to 32 bit Vista or XP. Then you can update the BIOS.
    Don t forget this version 2.00 - WIN is for Vista 32 bit and 5.50 - WIN XP.

  • Satellite U840W - clicking the icons/applications - nothing happens

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U840W-10J, have had for about 20 months without no problems so far. Without warning and apparently at random times, my laptop loses its ability to launch any application. If I select an application icon from the menu start/work station or to a file in a folder, nothing happens. Applications that are already open when the problem affects work very well, if I close them I can't reopen. My office then goes black and my desktop icons disappear, everything except the Recycle Bin.

    I can only restart the computer by pressing the power or by using CTRL + ALT + DELETE key. My laptop is restarted it will then work as usual for a period of time before the same thing happens again. I use Windows 8.1 and I have McAfee Internet Security installed. The problem started about 2 weeks ago.

    Any ideas or support would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Iwan

    According to your message the laptop together problems might arise due to some malfunction of the system/software... I think that no one will be able to tell what is the problem with preinstalled system, but you can try to solve the problem of cleaning the registry and operating system.

    How?

    I could recommend one freeware tool called CCleaner... this software was already mentioned in the different forum discussions and it helps you to clean the registry and remove the temporal files stored...

    In the event that this software does not help, try to repair the system using Windows 8.1 repair solutions: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm
    The "Refresh" option could be the key here...

    But in the worst case, if you would not be able to resolve the problem by using the "refresh" option, then you could try to recover the laptop using the Toshiba HDD recovery... "Reset your PC" would be the next possible step...

  • Satellite L40 - 139 - I want to upgrade the RAM

    Hello
    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.
    Thank you.

    Hello!

    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.

  • Cannot start the Satellite P300-1FN - nothing happens

    Hi all

    I have recently reinstalled windows 7 on my Satellite P300-1FN and after a few minor problems, it was working fine.
    I blocked some drivers and updates, then it prompted me to restart.

    I turned it off and left while I had lunch, then tried to start and nothing happened.
    I mean nothing, not even the power led comes on. I put the battery in which I know has at least half a load and nothing.

    The fuse, still nothing changed. What is everything?
    It is quite dead.

    Any help appreciated.

    G

    > I mean nothing, not even the power led lights up.
    Sounds not good man

    Sounds like the motherboard or CPU problem because no s lights are on.

    But try this;
    Unplug the power adapter, remove the battery, wait some time (2-4 hours) and reconnect the two parts.
    Check if you could power the unit in place.

    If this is not possible then I would recommend contacting a professional technician to ASP.

    Sorry, but that's all I can suggest

  • Satellite L500-1EH - nothing happens if I press a FN key

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    What do you think about installing the drivers for the FN keys?
    You need to download Toshiba Value Package added that you can find on the Toshiba site.

    I had a similar problem and after installing that Toshiba all everything works. :)
