Satellite L40 psl48e died because I plugged the USB hard

do not laugh...
I plugged a USB stick in the wrong way... and the laptop died... suspect anyway... there at - it internal fuses?

Hello

Internal fuses? The motherboard is dotted with many electronic and fuse pieces
I think that something is damaged on the motherboard.

But I can't believe how someone could connect the USB in the wrong direction
Truly amazing what s

However, it looks like a material damage and I think you should contact the ASP technician to check the laptop

In the worst case you will need a new motherboard that could be a costly affair :(

  • 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.

  • Re: Satellite L40 PSL48E: can I create a partition Vista installation disc

    Hello

    My Satellite L40 PSL48E came with a Vista recovery partition.
    As I despise Vista I bought a replacement drive and installed a new hard drive and installed XP pro.
    I retained the original drive in case I've never had a claim under warranty.

    Now, I find that, because of work, commitments, I occsionally use the despised Vista trash and wonder if it is possible to create a partition on the original disc installation disc so tha ti can create a system dual boot on my new drive.

    I am very reluctant to BUY a new Vista CD, since I already have a perfectly legal copy on a disk, which I am not using and I'll use it only rarely for this commitment to work.

    Any information received with gratitude

    Thank you Ron

    Hmm. If you have a HARD drive recovery option, then a complete image has been placed on the HARD drive and generally all cell phones with HARD drive recovery option is supported by a tool called TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator Toshiba.

    With this tool, you can create a Vista recovery DVD If the OS Vista, have been damaged, you can also try to start the computer by pressing the F8 key.
    This would allow an advanced boot menu.
    Here you must choose repair computer

    But note; This option is available only on laptops with HDD Recovery

  • Satellite L40 PSL48E FN keys do not work

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L40 PSL48E, and it works perfectly, except that the FN + no matter what key does not work.

    I've been option on this forum, and I found the solution, which is: download the common Module and the Hotkey Utility.
    However, this only seems to work for Windows XP and I have Vista Ultimate, so this won't work.

    Also, I discovered that FN + F11 seems to work, and I searched on that one too, but it was something like:

    «So, go to "Run" (i.e. run an application) and run msconfig.exe or simply search for msconfig.exe.»

    After the opening of this program, you will have a few tabs and a tab should be as 'start-up', it should be the filename TCrdMain.exe and a checkbox before that. Uncheck the box, and you disable this cardmanager.
    "

    Well, I went to msconfig.exe, but TCrdMain.exe was not on the list...

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thanks, Koen.

    Help, please

    Hello hotshot.
    Recently I asked the customer service of Toshiba (Netherlands) the same question about warranty by phone. The guy said ' it's your computer, you can install what you like. ' " But if you need to send it for a problem, you will need to restore it to how it was when you got it. "I asked what happens if the computer develops a problem preventing you to restore it and the guy hohummed without giving an answer.
    XP should work, but you will need to find all the drivers beforehand.
    Third question, you did it.

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

    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 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.

  • Re: Satellite L40-139 - 10 error code in the Device Manager on the wireless network card

    I have a toshiba satellite L40-139 and I just instaled windows 7 64 bit on it. Since that time my atheros wireless device will not work. I tried updating the driver and windows but nothing.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    If you read here:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943104

    The Code 10 error code is generated when the Device Manager has not enough information or error that spread upwards by device drivers is not recognized by Device Manager.
    Then, go to the page of the driver and update the driver. If you do not have to win 7, try the vista driver.

    Hello

    I have laptop Satellite L40 - 14 d.
    Two months ago, I Flash my BIOS to version 5.40 successfully. But now, if I run updatebios.bat (5.50), the system will reboot, but after 1 second laptop each stop. We did update the BIOS. I tried many version of BIOS for my laptop, but without success.

    I have Windows XP installed.
    PS: sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Czech Republic.
    Thanks for any response.

    Hello

    First of all I ve an interesting question;
    Why do you want to update the BIOS? Various problems with the laptop?
    Usually if the laptop run without problem then a BIOS update is not necessary

    However, I downloaded the BIOS and first firs winflash.exe file package, I noticed!

    First you must uncompress the BIOS correctly.
    Then prepare the laptop for the update (AC adapter connected, don t run 3rd party applications and disconnect all external devices).
    Finally, you must run the winflash.exe to start the update of the BIOS and NOT the .bat file!
