• Satellite M30X-102: power question - unit suddenly turn off

  Hello!

  I have a portable Satellite M30X-102 and about a year ago and a half months he started to turn off suddenly. First of all, it looked like an overheating problem, but also disabled directly after that I pressed the power button and sometimes it worked 10 hours without any problem, also, when it is off, power LED was flashing until I have Nations United - and replugend the power cable. If the battery was, he was immediately released.

  I sent it to repairs. They only cleaned the cooler and changed the dough to thermal conductivity and for a few days, the laptop worked normally, but about half hours ago, it happened again. I am convinced now that this is a power supply problem, possibly the power cable.

  You have any suggestions of what I could do, or should I send it back with a note that it is a power supply problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should contact the service because it can start diagnostic tests.
  For me, this looks like an electronic malfunction of power supply.
  If the laptop has been repaired it there a few days/weeks, so I guess that the guarantee is valid.

• Satellite M30X-102: problems with foreign settings

  I just bought the laptop M30X-102 of the Germany, but I am from Greece. So everything is in German (which I don't understand), the recovery disk, documentation... So I ask if I can find the revovery disk in English language. How can I re - configure my system with windows English? (I think format...) Thank you...

  Hello

  It is a shame. I know the problem, if you have lost a Toshiba Recovery CD, then you go to a Service partner and sign a solemn declaration (it is a restriction of M$) and you will get a new recovery CD.

  You could ask a Greek Service partner if it is possible to do?

• Update disk for Satellite M30X-102

  Hello

  No one knows what drives I can install in my M30x?
  Currently, I have a 40 GB toshiba drive. I would like to know if BIOS supports more than 80 GB drives.
  Thank you!

  Hello

  Well, I quite agree with the position of the user of the comments above.
  If you use a disk HARD with size is not compatible if the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive successfully.
  You must use the HARD drive with the size of the support.
  But in your case the Satellite M30X should support 40 GB HARD disk sizes / 60 GB and 80 GB 5400 RPM and a size of 100 GB HARD drive at 4200 RPM.

  Goodbye :)

• Satellite M30X - power management problems does not

  Hello

  I am new to the forum and some difficulties with my power management settings.
  Don't know why, but don't can't Hibernate my system or to keep. If I go to the Start button and try to shut down the system, I can only close or restart the computer. The standby or Hibernate button is sunk in gray, not allowing to choose these options.
  I have a Satellite M30X-144 with Windows XP Home Edition.
  From what I remember, these functions were functional when I bought the computer.
  Can someone give me a help?
  Thanks in advance.

  Well, you can find on unit you Toshiba Power Saver tool. This tool allows to use the Hibernate and standby modus. Please go to control panel, then power saving.
  There you can find lots of options and tabs. Go to advanced. The Enable hibernate support option must be marked.
  I won t explain all the options, but check these options in this tool.

• Satellite M40 PSM40E - big problem

  Model: Satellite M40-237 (PSM40E)

  To start from the beginning. Around a year ago, the laptop began to restart occasionally. Overheating is not the cause, sometimes randomly - even when I just turn on the laptop. I searched the net for the question and found that many laptops Toshiba have reboot problem. It seems that if the portable computer "thinks" it's overheating as sometimes it is not just a reboot, it stops, but leave the cooler work.

  Since there is no solution to the problem I just use the phone normally, ignoring the ocassional restarts. Sometimes, he would spend months before it restarts, sometimes it would happen a few times a day. Recently, it has started to happen a lot, so I decided to clean the laptop again to make it East of cooling perfectly. Coolers are clean and I applied a new thermal paste on the processor, chipset and graphics card. When I turned it on it has restarted several times and then it worked fine for a few days.

  Today it restarted again, to be precise, he stops and left cooler work (although it was obviously not overheating). I turned it off by removing the battery and it works again, something I've done many times before, when this happens - usually it stops just restart later. But this time it would be closed again, I turned and he left like that for awhile.

  And here's the last problem, something that has never happened before. Now when I turn on the turn it restarts immediatelyover and more. It goes no further than the toshiba welcome screen I can see briefly.

  I tried a few things to eliminate a potential cause of this problem:
  -It works with or without battery
  -removed the optical drive
  -removed HARD drive
  -removed/changed the order of the RAM chips

  It just keeps restarting, so as much as I think the problem might be connected with:
  -power - maybe my diet started to malfunction about a year ago when this problem started, and it's completely broke down somewhere now?
  -battery - it is a lot (it's on about 40% of the original force), this could be the problem? But, the tour should work without the battery at all, so I don't see how
  -motherboard - something could be broken on the motherboard, this case, it is virtually impossible to find and repair the fault
  -temperature sensors - they are showing the correct time but since the round is underway down to 'cool', there is perhaps a problem that makes the tour think it is overheating. If this is the case, is it possible to disable the detectors somehow?

  If you have experience with something similar or tips please answer. As it is, it seems that I can just recover the removable parts and throw everything in the garbage :-/

  HELO drool

  Long story. What to say? Friend of mine has Satellite M40 for a year now and it still works fine without any serious problems. May be time to cleaning it but he must know what he wants to do with his laptop.

  In any case when the is in your sentence followed by validation
  > so I decided to clean the laptop again so that it cools perfectly. Coolers are clean and I applied a new thermal paste on the processor, chipset and graphics card.
  is there for me, end of story. Laptop has been opened, no one knows what you did exactly, did you all following some manuals.

  Sorry but I do not see a solution for you. Or you can ask for professional help and pay for it or sell the laptop on eBay. Please do not throw it garbage. ;) earn money with it.

• Satellite M30X-129 - power problems

  I have problems with the power supply and the laptop does not start, or crashes. I had the same problem in Oct 05 when DC power jack appears to be a little loose causing no charging battery / an irregular DC power supply with the laptop battery/dc power switching and running down the battery.

  Finally the wasn't it? t comply with power up to /charging/ & kept close until he just died. Toshiba has replaced the motherboard on this occasion under warranty (10 months). Same problem came back again (replacement mother now of 6 months) off now guaranteed. But complained to Toshiba and am currently waiting for their call back. Any body has experienced similar problems? Thank you

  Hello

  Unfortunately I have no explanation what is the problem with your device. The fact is that you have the guarantee that all the new parts. Please contact the technician again and ask them how long is the warranty of the motherboard replaced.

  can someone help me?
  Thank you!

• Satellite M30X windows 2000 installation problem

  I noticed ribooth has also posted a message with the same problem... but I haven't seen a real answer. The problem: if I try to install Windows 2000 Professional (including SP2) on my satellite M30X-130. The windows 2000 Setup program crashes with a "page in a no fault paged area" in acpi.sys just at the moment where the status in the status bar has been changed from windows 2000. If I press F7 during startup, acpi support is disabled and no page error occurs but the windows 2000 installation hangs on "the first screen" where you should be able to start, stop and? installation. There is no additional hardware installed and I'm unable to partition and format the HD with W2k. If I do it with win98 and create a FAT32 partition and try to install w2k on it I get the same ' page in a no fault paged area "acpi.sys error. Any suggestions to fix this?

  Hello
  Make sure that the system BIOS and other hardware is compatible with Windows 2000.

• Power supply with Satellite M30x problem

  When I connect my Satellite M30X in power, he sometimes shows the power light and the battery light. It can then be turned on and will start and run.
  Most of the time the power light blinks and the battery light stay out: it will not illuminate.

  When it turns on, it will work for a period of a minute or two till about 4 hours and stops randomly.
  Now the led starts flashing and continues to Flash while it is powered.

  There must be some problem with electronic control gear. Strange is that this problem occurs from time to time.
  Sorry, but if you want to get rid of it you must contact Toshiba service and let check your laptop.

  To be honest, it can happen that
  Entire motherboard must be exchanged, and it can be quite expensive. Might be time for the new laptop computer. Satellite M30 is really old.

  What do you think of all this?

• Satellite M30X starting problems

  Hello!

  My Satellite M30X doesn't start normally more. When I press the power button, it turns on, the fan starts, but nothing happens. Or sometimes it takes almost 5 minutes before then the Toshiba logo appears, it begins in place.

  After that, I sometimes get a message that the Smart HD feature has detected a failure in my HD. But not all the time.

  I have Linux and Win XP on my hard drive. When I use Win XP, it starts normally, then after a few minutes, I get the BOD with message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Or sometimes, the system just hangs. If I boot mode safe, everyting works fine.

  On Linux, the system freezes after 30 minutes of use.

  I'm tempted to think that I just need to reformat my HD (I have a 100gig HD of Fujitsu), and everything will be fine. I have to try again. And also once again, on Win XP Safe Mode, everything works very well - I can't even use WLAN, and I am writing this same post! But if it's just a software or an OS problem, why not not my laptop start normally? I mean, why is that sometimes it does not start at all (the Toshiba logo does not appear), and I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on so that it works. Sometimes it is not boot at all, no matter how many times I try it turn on and off. The power on light comes on, fan will start, then fan turns off, light is always turned on and nothing happens. Or it could be caused by a faulty hard drive? Is that why it sometimes does not start at all? But if it is the HD, why is there not a problem in Mode safe?

  It is so weird coz it wasn't a problem before, and he appeared out of the blue.

  Any help will be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  To me, this looks like a hardware problem. I think it works in safe mode because other such graphics card device drivers are not loaded.
  As I know the IRQL error also occurs if the blue screen of death appears on the screen. I think that it us something wrong with the graphics card or the memory modules.
  I think you should ask the AEP from Toshiba for help.

  I restarted the laptop with the recovery cd, but still the same problems. Before robooting, I used nero 6, thougth perhaps, this is the problem in nero, now using just Sonic record now accompanies the DVD.

  Please anybode help me?

  Hello

  How to help you if you don't mention what CD cannot be burned (original music CD, homes burned CDs, just specific producers, only some files are not readable). Give us more info on this issue.

  Check a little better, and if there is no success is perhaps the defective drive. It is well known that some CD (a cheaper) cannot be burned properly.
