• 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.

• 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

  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 A500: Low resolution using Win 7

  Hello

  I have looked around the forum and have found no real solution to my problem so...
  I recently bought a Satellite A500 and did a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional on this subject.

  Apparently, I had to just update to keep the drivers, but being the noob that I am, I have not.
  So now that my resolution is stuck at 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, neither of which are native.

  I downloaded the drivers 64-bit win7 on the Toshiba site, but apparently, I already have the latest ATI driver installed.
  However, I can't always change the resolution, and my monitor is recognized as generic non - PnP.
  Is it possible to check if I have the display driver?

  And also all the solutions for the display problem would be very grateful. It's the only thing that remains now bothering me on this new laptop.

  Hello

  I assume you are using Win 7 64 bit OS because you selected the display of Win 7 64-bit driver is good?

  What A500-xxx you have exactly?
  The European driver Toshiba page provides three different display drivers for the A500 series. Intel, nVidia and ATI
  Seems three different graphics chips were installed in series A500

  You should first check what graphics chip using your laptop
  Then go to Device Manager and uninstall the display driver.
  Then visit the page of the European driver Toshiba, download the display on the right for the graphics chip driver and install it.

  Then restart the device and check how would go to the laptop.

• Satellite 1100-Z14: I get only the image but no sound when playing DVD

  I know that mine is a laptop pretty old, but despite the update with latest firmware, I have an intermittent problem during DVD playback (Reg 2) because I have picture but no sound, especially with some older DVD.
  CD's are ok.

  Toshiba-repairman says it is a software problem and they deal only with material problems.
  Can someone tell me how I can deal with this problem please? (apart from getting a model later!)

  This really looks like a software problem.
  Are you using the same disc region settings when you play these DVDs?
  Do you play original DVDs or copies?

  Sometimes a missing codex might be responsible for these problems.

• How can I recover the OS on my Satellite L40 (PSL48E)?

  I ve recently received this laptop with the data and configs of previous users. And I have an urgent need to get Vista back to the original. When I'm trying to use the recovery on the HARD drive partition, the program asks me to use the RecoverDVD.

  But I have one! How can I get this drive or can make this disc of BONE? What should I do?
  Guess the ISO of the DVD to recover is somewhere on the NET, is I not?

  Hello

  Recovery image is not downloadable, and if you can't install OS HARD drive partition you must order the original Toshiba Recovery DVD.
  You can do so under the https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  BTW: have you tried to install the OS using F8 option at startup?

• 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 :(

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Finally, restart the laptop and check the drive after Vista acknowledged again.
