Satellite L40: USB problem

Hi all, hope someone can help me - I have lots of USB devices and until recently had no problem to install them on my psl48e. Now suddenly I seem not to be able to add any NEW usb devices. Those already used on this PC are always OK just can't get recognized new. a typical error is something along the lines of
"There was a problem installing this device - the data is not valid.

I'm always connected to Ina of the USB ports on the PC without a hub
someone at - it indexes

I am running XP pro.

I don't know what devices you use, but try to remove all the front you want to use a new. The problem persists?

  • Satellite L40 USB, wireless, modem, and its failure

    I'm trying to solve a Toshiba Satellite L40 and ask yourself how I diagnose a hardware failure.
    Problem is that the free wireless and sound had stopped working and it would freeze whenever a USB device has been inserted.

    Decided to do the new install of XP, but it failed each time to 34 minutes.
    I've suspected of hardware failure as well as a USB was curved touching another PIN to cause a short circuit.
    Bent it back but install still failed at 34 minutes.

    Remove the wireless card, always not so I removed the modem and it went through without error.
    Installation of two causes fall in XP install.
    Have installed all the latest drivers and even flashed the BIOS, however, still have the following problems:
    Insertion of a USB device causes yet portable no freeze, no sound and wireless / modem not picked up by windows during the installation after the installation.

    Shows Device Manager:
    1 exclamation point on "Microsoft UAA bus driver for High Def Audio"
    2 "unknown device" in the USB controllers but not exclamation mark - peripheral USB not connected.

    It is possible that the 'short' USB has damaged a controller on the motherboard is causing the failure of these devices?

    Any help would be appreciated

    > 1. Exclamation point on "Microsoft UAA bus driver for High Def Audio"
    Win Xp requires the Sp2 and Sp3.
    Patches are part of service packs and are necessary for its work.

    > 2. "Unknown device" in USB controllers but no exclamation point - USB devices not plugged in.
    The internal webcam is connected to the USB controller then perhaps, you add the webcam software.
    Otherwise this could have something to do with the USB port defective

  • Satellite L40 - strange problem with battery LED indicator

    Hello

    I have Satellite L40 - 18w and I have a problem. When the battery is low or that he is in charge of the led is orange, but when it is fully charged there is no led indicator. Even if I turn it on, there is no light and if I check the power connection options AC adapter is recognized. Operating system is Windows XP PRO SP2. I tried to find the Toshiba Power Saver, but it seems that he can't stand L40.

    Would it be a hardware or a software problem?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    I had the same problem.
    Remove and install back the battery.

  • Satellite A500 USB problem - unknown device.

    Hello

    Have a Satellite A500 I recently restored to factory from the recovery partition and reinstalled my Win7 upgrade.

    I have a couple of unknown devices in Device Manager and have no way of knowing what they are.
    They would normally be a problem for me except that I'm also the sounds of disconnecting USB every now and then and caveats relating to the devices being plugged into a port USB2 not high speed.

    I have of course plugged anything in time so I expect there is a device which is malfunctioning and not detected correctly.

    The devices I first suspected (webcam, TV Tuner, touchpad) all normally appear in Device Manager so I'm at a loss as to what is the cause.

    Any ideas?
    Beards

    Hello

    I understand this correctly?

    You restored the A500 to the factory settings using the Toshiba recovery procedure and the unknown devices still shows up in the Device Manager?

    That s strange because the recovery disk to put the laptop in the same State as on the first day of purchase. So generally unknown devices should not appear and all drivers must be installed correctly.

    However, I found an interesting and in my eyes useful HowTo document that should help you to know which drivers are missing in your case.

  • Graphic resolution on Satellite L40 - 17Q problem

    There is no if long my screen crashed... actually the turbine BP has opened with a screen resolution of 640 x 480 and 4 bit color.

    I couldn't change the resolution or color depth, whenever I tried came back to 640 x 480. I tried to install the new versions of the driver, the old versions with no luck. I installed win. Vista and it worked but on my slow computer as short BONES.

    Today I installed a new version of windows xp and before installing display drivers offered by Toshiba, the resolution worked higher then 640 x 480. After the instalation it failed once again. If I look in Device Manager I see that the drivers are installed and working, but there is another tab called "Other devices" which has 3 positions, all the 3 named "LGPhilipsLCDLP154WX4-TLD2".

    No drivers are available for children of what I tried.

    Please help me! :-(

    Hello

    In my case I have 3 entries called Plug-and-Play monitor.
    I guess there is everything goes well in your device manager.
    Instead of Plug & Play monitor your entry is called LGPHilipsLDC154WX4-TLD2.

    Try to remove it from the Device Manager (mark it and delete), and then restart.
    Perhaps the entry of the Plug-and-Play monitor is displayed.

    If this isn't the case, well fine, then you should t be worried because it doesn't matter how this entry is called it shouldn't t affect anything!

  • Satellite L40 - Wi - Fi connection after restart problem

    Hello

    My sister had a Toshiba Satellite L40 (PSL40E - 04501DDU) and a few days ago I installed a wireless router at home.
    Wi - Fi worked within 2 minutes, but when I restarted the laptop he couldn't find any Wi - Fi networks (whereas before I restarted, I found 4).

    It took me about an hour to make it work again
    -Turn off/on Wi - Fi
    -several reboots
    -deletion of a Wi - Fi connection - configs
    -switching between Vista Wi-Fi-tool and without configuration by Toshiba
    -updated drivers
    -etcetera...

    I don't know which of them did the trick, but after going through all these actions it seemed to work again.
    I thought I had conquered the problem, but only today (after only 1.5 days) my sister contacted me saying that the Wi - Fi 'fell down' again.

    Does anyone know what could be the problem?

    When I look in this forum I see about 1200-forum topics on the problems of Wifi on Toshiba laptops, so I guess it's a recurring problem with several models of Toshiba.
    Most of the subjects also speaks a Wifi works very well and doesn't work anymore after restart/sleep/hibernation.

    Laptop: PSL40E - 04501DDU
    OS: Windows Vista 32-bit (latest updates + latest drivers)

    (Please, no answers like: "is your DHCP on?") or "the router is compatible with the Wi - Fi device?")

    Hi crazysoul,.

    I understand that you don't know the answer to that, because you are not always there when the Wi - Fi fails, but if the laptop is not looking upwards * all * networks, the same as before?

    What WLAN driver version is installed on this laptop? The most recent is 7.6.0.164.1, it can be interesting to update. Also, forgive me if you already checked, but under network adapters Device Manager, find the device wireless and in the Properties window, if there is a power management make tab you unchecked the checkbox to turn off the device to save power.

  • Satellite L40-139: new graphics driver is causing the problem after waking from sleep

    I have a three month old Toshiba Satellite L40-139 (PSL40E) with 1 GB of RAM with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. This laptop worked very well for me for the basic headquarters far tasks, and I would have no problem recommending.

    In the last days I've updated the software and drivers from the Microsoft Update web site.

    Since the update driver Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family (to version 7.14.10.1350, dated October 18, 2007), the screen resolution at 800 x 600 after awakening from the sleep state. The only way I found to fix it is to restart the PC.

    Other articles published on the web, I understand that this particular driver (Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family driver 7.14.10.1350 version) has caused many other problems on a variety of hardware and software platforms.

    Does anyone have a definitive solution for Satellite L40?

    I looked at four options.

    1. let the new installed driver and restart Windows each time after waking up from sleep mode. Rather, I must not do this.

    2. using the Restore Point created by Windows Update before the update of the driver, roll back to an earlier time. This seems to be a good course if it works.

    3 download an older version of the driver and reinstall it. I don't know which version would work but note that others have had success with the 7.14.10.1280 version. I guess a similar version could be included in the driver Package that can be downloaded from Toshiba Europe site, but have heard that the time required to download this software can exceed ten hours and am therefore reluctant to try.

    4. the fourth option is not really possible. I should be able to "Roll-Back" the driver in Device Manager, but the button is disabled.

    Although only a minor problem, it is very irritating and I would like to address them without causing other problems. Does anyone else have this problem? Someone has fixed it successfully?

    Hello Peter

    If I understand correctly, you use your usual laptop for daily work and you don't need any computer high-performance notebook. If I'm right I have to say that you should be happy if the laptop works well and stable.

    I don't really see any reason why you wanted to update chipset driver. In any case, you should try to roll back the BONES of time earlier and I hope everything will work again. There is absolutely no risk, and you can test it.

    Please post the result.

  • Sleep on my Satellite L40 problem

    Hi all

    I tried to post a more detailed version of this description of the problem, but was prevented by a caveat that my message contained profanity or that it was not appropriate. It didn't, of course, but here's the summary - if more details are required, I will be happy if possible poster.

    (1) satellite L40 equipped Windows Vista goes into sleep mode randomly while the user types. The hard drive spins down, the screen goes blank and the power LED flashes orange. It arrives a few seconds / minutes.

    (4) this does not happen in Mode safe mode of Windows, or when the computer starts from a Memtest86 CD or Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD.

    (5) I reinstalled Windows from the recovery CD Toshiba but the machine came into fashion 'sleep', as soon as he had painted the Office for the first time after installation.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Rob.

    Hello

    This strange s
    Have you checked the energy saving settings? I mean you can try to disable the mode 'sleep' (uncheck the brand)
    But to be honest the laptop should not go to the mode standby when the material is used
    This would mean that there is something wrong with a part on the motherboard

    I think that this issue doesn't happen in Safe Mode because that not all material resources are enabled and available in Mode safe and that's why this error would not be detected.
