• Satellite L40 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L40, model number PSL4CL - 001 with 80 GB HDD (SATA) 00C. I need to buy a new bigger hard drive, but I don't know the maximum size that I can use my laptop?

  Can I get a new one with 500 GB or I shouldn't buy one more 250 or 320 GB?

  Hello

  Theoretically, you can buy each HARD drive you want. Your laptop is equipped with a SATA interface for HARD disk and there is no limit of capacity as on the old IDE interface. So, a 500 GB model should work correctly on your laptop.

  If you buy a new one make sure that it s a portable 2.5 HARD drive with SATA interface. All that s! :)

  I hope I could help a bit.

  In your case I would contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys can reflash the ROM module and should have all versions of the BIOS. Download just in contact with them! ;)

• Satellite L40 PSL48L: No noise and Bios Update after installing XP

  Hai guys

  I have a toshiba laptop psl48l-0200u and lowered the score on XP Professional, but realtek audio does not work.
  At the launch of the facility, there is an error message "realtek audio installation failed.

  I think that this may have to do something with bios - then I downloaded Bios for XP and extracted into a folder - but the update of the bios.

  Help, please
  Thank you

  What to first say if you installed XP on your laptop, then you should also update the BIOS to the version of Win XP.
  The BIOS update must be performed on Windows XP!
  Simply run the exe file and follow the instructions on the screen.

  Regarding the sound issue.
  Well this problem is not related to the BIOS, but you have not installed the XP patches!

  Have you checked this forum for a similar question? I don t think so.

• Re: Satellite L40 - what is faster - AHCI or compatible?

  Who is the best drive HARD in AHCI or IDE with Intel Matrix Console manager?

  Hello!

  What laptop you have exactly?

  However, I think with native IDE you mean compatibility mode?
  AHCI mode is faster than the compatible mode, but so you need the Intel Storage Manager.

  I hope I could help you.

  I installed a new drive hard 500 GB compatible and using the original toshiba product recovery disc, tried to install windows vista

  He partitioned the drive and got insofar as the message "starting windows for the first time", and after a minute or two, I got this message...

  "Windows Setup cannot configure windows to run on this computer's hard drive.

  I tried 3 times with the same result

  I am pressuming the recovery disc will perform a new installation on a blank hard drive, advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated in fact as I have searched high and low on the internet for answers and have had little luck

  So using the disk Microsoft Vista has solved your problem?

  2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"
  3. how to make a bootable CD-ROM please read the *.pdf file in the "docs" folder
  4. make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector.
  5. turn off the laptop.
  6. place the CD-ROM containing the upgrade of the BIOS in the optical disc drive.
  7. turn on the laptop with the F12 key.
  8. the BIOS boot menu appears. Select CD/DVD or CD-ROM symbol with the arrow keys. Press "enter".
  9. the notebook starts from upgrading the BIOS CD.
  10. a boot menu is displayed. Select the point of updating the BIOS by using the arrow keys. Press "enter".
  11. the BIOS update process begins. Do not turn off the laptop during the update.

  Hi Alexey

  Can you please tell me why you need BIOS update? As far as I know Satellite L40 is the new laptop of the L series. Maybe a few days and necessary BIOS update. Why?

  Have you noticed any problems?

• Satellite L40 - failed to update BIOS

  Hello!

  I have Win XP on my Satellite L40 - 14F and I download BIOS update and... * nothing *.
  Only invites to the splash screen for a second and nothing more.
  Please help me!

  Hello

  What to say. It seems that something was wrong during your BIOS update procedure.
  Have you chosen the right BIOS and did you use the correct procedure to update the BIOS?

  The point is that the BIOS package that was downloaded from the Toshiba page must be unzipped first. It is very important that you would have to decompress it correctly.

  In any case, always is the module Rom BIOS has been flashed properly and so the laptop will not start.
  Unfortunately, the ASP is your last resort.
  Ask the guys and should ask for further handling.

  Good luck

• Drive recovery system for Satellite L40

  My sister recently bought a Satellite L40, what it was asked was, is the Windows Vista restore disk provided with the laptop as the system recovery disk, or if she needs to burn a separate recovery disk and how she was going to do this.

  Thank you

  Hello

  As far as I know the recovery DVDs should be in the box. To clarify this try to contact your local dealer or maybe Toshiba.

• Satellite L670-143 - new BIOS available, but what's new?

  Since yesterday I get a notice from Toshiba Bulletin Board that a new version of the BIOS is available, version 2.30 - WIN dated from 14/02/12.

  Given that I am trying hard and wonder if Toshiba allows users to change the Wifi card by default, I'm interested in what this BIOS update is needed for, if it wasn't for allowing users to install their preferred Wifi adapter I'm totally happy with my current version of BIOS and won't update something that brings something of new or improve anything.

  For this purpose: is their any page where people can find out what is new in a new update of the BIOS?
  Everything we always get is compressed form. Exe and prechewed message "this update of the Bios adds increased system functionality" on the page to download... but nothing concrete information.

  Hello Moose

  In one thing, I agree with you: don t change the BIOS if there is no former radical problem or the system in general. Many people here have reported on the various problems after BIOS update so if you are happy with your laptop and if everything goes perfectly don t change anything.

  Problem is that on the European download page you will find information on the update of the BIOS. In other words there is nothing new in the latest version of the BIOS.
  It is interesting that Toshiba US offers you this info so I m me where difference between offered things in US and Europe is to ask. I m not an expert for this stuff but there may be reasons relating to the protection of law or customers. I put t know.

  What you can do if you have a little time, is to visit the US page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp > download, find a similar pattern with the same BIOS update and check if you can find useful information here.

  At the end once more: don t change anything, if everything works well. I have 2 years old Satellite P500 and use with BIOS and original recovery image. It works perfectly. Best Toshiba laptop I've had over the last 10 years.

  What's new in the update of the BIOS v2.00 for Satellite l505-144

  Thank you

  Hi mate

  As much as I know European Toshiba driver page does provide no details what has been changed in the BIOS.
  But I found some details on the Toshiba U.S. page.
  It seems that Fn + N + 1/2/3/4 function of debugging has been removed in 2.0 BIOS to avoid the abnormal behavior of the keyboard.

• Satellite L40 - 14 H - black screen after BIOS update

  Hello!

  I have laptop Satellite L40 - 14 H (PSL48E). I installed Windows XP, it worked fine, except the keypad is lit permanently so I couldn't enter a few symbols. I decided to install the special BIOS for WinXP, which downloaded from the Toshiba web site. The PSL48x model is in the support list. Change the windows flashing and reboot, I entered the BIOS to see what has changed. I saw nothing new, so I leave the WOOD and restart again.

  Since then, turns on the phone, but the screen is not, it is black :-(((
  Please help me, how can I save to live?
  Thank you, Eugene.

  Tried to connect it to an external monitor?
  If this does not help, you will need to go to a SPA to take a look at your machine.

• Satellite L40 - proceedings of BIOS rewrite

  Toshiba Satellite L40-14B (catalogue number: PSL4CE - 004005G 3)

  I got my laptop for Windows XP (from Vista) and I wanted to update BIOS version for XP Toshiba (5.50). I did everything right but still 2 seconds after you click the .bat file to start the process, Windows has interfered with a critical message and restart my computer.

  It restarted, (*) entered 'Recovery of the ROM BIOS utility V1.16 crisis', a progress bar indicates that old bios was erased; After that an another progress bar indicating the flash process stopped after 2 seconds (1 cm); flash error message appeared; the utility tried to erase the BIOS (first step bar once again); clear the error message appeared. The post OFFICE will continue or something like that is displayed, and all is blocked and disabled. After a long time of prayer useless, I removed the battery of my laptop and moving forward again (voltage). And everything is identical (new) brand above (*).

  It was a bit strange, especially since, after the reboot, I could access BIOS. No hard drive, the laptop closed in 3 seconds.

  I analyzed the contents of the hard drive and found a new file, called T20. BIN (1 M - no doubt with the BIOS image) in C:\.

  I think that when the laptop is turned on, it does not find the BIOS, it looks for image file of the BIOS in the root of the active partition on the hard drive, load it (T20. (BIN), begins 'The BIOS utility ROM V1.16 crisis recovery' and you know the rest

  After loading the BIOS from the HARD drive and start rewriting, all frozen and I can't do anything: "Recovering the BIOS utility ROM V1.16 crisis" occurs during the POST and POST gel before closing, so I can't get to the point where I can start.

  Meanwhile, I've changed the T20. BIN file with other bios (given by the Toshiba Site for Vista) and everything goes the same thing (with the difference that the BIOS for hard drive shows another version number).

  I know that some laptops have a service procedure so that you can rewrite the BIOS after the crash. I tried different methods indicated on the forums for other L series, but nothing works.
  I could t find the service manual for L40.
  I found even when Maintenance manuals for other Toshiba models where are presented procedures for maintenance for the rewriting of the BIOS (usually using a diskette).
  Didn t work for L40, floppy USB drive died before entering the BIOS and after that it's too late for me.

  Any idea? (Not ASP. I hear good ideas).
  Is someone a L40 manual or single BIOS rewrite maintenance procedures?

  Hi lonutS,

  That s a pretty long story, but I think the case is clear: something was wrong because the BIOS update and now the ROM module has to be reflashed. Normally the BIOS will be updated in Windows and not after a reboot or something else so probably the ROM module is deleted now but no new version has been flashed.

  > Any idea? (Not ASP. I hear good ideas).
  Is someone a L40 manual or single BIOS rewrite maintenance procedures?
  Why not ASP? That's the best idea and may ask you what kind of response you expect? Here he s in only a forum from user to user, so no one here can give you the technical manual or a special BIOS recovery tool for this laptop. These utilities only have an ASP and Toshiba itself.

  Here in the forum are similar topics on recovering the BIOS then perhaps you should read, but don t forget that everything happens on your own risk! If you have n t successful, I think that the only option is in contact with a ;) ASP.
