• Graphics card on Satellite M40-197 (PSM40E) does not work properly

  I have a portable Satellite M40-197 (PSM40E) with ATI Radeon X 300 graphics display.

  The problem I have is when the laptop is turned on, until windows XP THAT starts, the screen is black as you would expect.

  But there are also about 12 lines on the screen. Each line consists of (from top to bottom) 4 pixels of different colors. The rest of the screen is as you would expect.

  Once Windows XP is running are several broken lines (color lines, depends on the color of office) through the screen at all levels up and down the screen.

  I updated the BIOS of the laptop and installed the latest ATI drivers.
  This made no difference.

  Anyone know if it is a faulty graphics card (is the adapter on the system board or it own map). Is it possible to update the graphics BIOS? Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  This really sounds like a hardware problem, I had the same problem some time ago with my Satellite 5200 903. They said to the servicecenter
  me, that the graphics card was defective and they replace. After replacing everything will work perfectly again.

  Thus, it would be important that your platform to a local servicepartner for a hardwarecheckup.

  Here´s a good place where you can find the nearest the servicepartner in your country:

• Satellite M40-154 (PSM40E) - which HARD drive new can I use?

  Hello community,

  need a new HARD drive for my * Satellite M40 154 GR PSM 40th *. The old a HDD is: Toshiba MK8025GAS. The new need Toshiba also, 5400 RPM and 80-100GB capacity.
  I already try to find out which is right for my laptop, but I do not understand much about the HARD drives. There are more types, like GSX... But I need one that is compatible with my M40. Pleas help.

  Kind regards.

  AFAIK you can use each HARD top of page 120 GB disk because your laptop is a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that you can use the top of 128 GB of DISK space.

  The new HARD drive should be have an IDE interface and size 2.5. All that s and normally each Toshiba HDD should work with these specifications.

• I can't connect my TV to my Satellite M40 - 237 PSM40e

  Hi, people,.
  I have a s-video to video cable, but my laptop shows, the cable seems to be disconnected. But when I'm changing the video preferences my TV screen starts flicking, but just for 1 second. I had this problem on my desktop PC with ATI radeon too, but there's a function to enable the detection of pc to a TV off. Now I can just pick my TV as secondary display. ATI drivers would help, but catalyst 6.3 is not compatible with my ATI radeon x 700 for unknown reasons, so I just use the drivers from Toshiba.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  You have suggested that you have this problem also on the desktop PC.
  Have you checked your s-video cable?
  It is possible to s that you cable is broken.

  In addition to switch between devices, you must use the FN + F5 key combination.

• New DVD on Satellite M40-193 burner uses 100% of CPU

  Hello everyone,

  recently, I replaced my DVD burner with a new. My laptop is a Satellite M40-193 (PSM40E-06M026IT) and the original drive is a carpet * a UJ - 831B. I replaced it with a Sony-Nec Optiarc AD - 7633A because I like the slit in the feature and the Labelflash feature.

  Unfortunately, it's a problem. Whenever I use it, it will use 100% of CPU. I can't understand the problem. Is there anyone who can help me? It is a software or hardware problem?

  Thank you.

  Before we start the discussion please can you me if this optical disk drive is compatible with your laptop model? Did you even check this? Please be honest.

• 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 M40-107: cannot re - install Powersaver - Code 0x7E

  Recently, I had to re - install Windows Xp on my Satellite M40-107 (PSM40E). Everything went well. Finally, I wanted to install the powersaver and I downloaded the latest version for my machine from the Toshiba web site. Installation fine until I press the complete installation (kerncentrale).

  A pop-up window appears with the message: fatal error, this programme will be completed. Code 0x7E.

  After restarting the same message appears until the powersaver is removed from the Board to run.

  Who can help?

  Hello

  It seems that there is no general solution for this problem.
  I found and read a few comments on the similar problem, and it seems that the Toshiba recovery CD installation will eliminate this error message popup.

• Satellite M40-237: CD Boot does not not + is possible startup USB key drive

  * Model: Satellite M40-237 (PSM40E) *.

  I decided to reinstall windows, my hard drive is now formatted. So as usual, boot from the Windows CD is necessary to start the instalation but it does not start. I never had problems like this, always worked boot. It's as if there is no bootable CD in the drive (but it is bootable and it works on another PC).

  -J' have the latest version of the BIOS
  -The BIOS detects the optical drive and everything is ok, HARD is the ODD main drive is secondary
  -J' tried selecting the boot priority, with F12 and/or the BIOS setting but it works anyway

  What could be the problem here? Drive does not properly (hopefully, that and not something worse)? I had some problems with the drive I have (...) before, but it reads the disc normally and as I said start was working fine before. I cleaned the lens a bit, disconnected it and it put. Is there something more, what can I do?

  I'll try to find someone who has the player that fits so I can try with that one, but who knows when is what will be.

  Now, here's the second question, which I've linked to this. Because my laptop is practically useless now (I can't install anything), is it possible to boot from a:
  (a) optical drive USB external
  (b) USB flash drive

  BIOS on this laptop has no USB boot option, it has HARD drive / CD / floppy / network. But I red somewhere this FDD = USB legacy emulation is enabled.

  If that is correct, I should just plug in the USB key and select FDD as boot option? If I can't find a USB optical drive, I thought make it bootable USB flash drive and copy the installation of windows xp on it. So once it starts in DOS I start just the installer from the key.

  TNX

  First I must say that the initialization of memory flash USB (USB key) is not possible and you shouldn't t waste time to try this.

  With regard to your reader of CD/DVD boot problem
  Well, it s really strange, it sounds a bit like a sort of master/slave/c-salt settings problem. But generally, you should get an error IDE (#0 or #1) if one of the devices (ODD or HARD disk) would not be recognized?  :|
  This whole thing seems mysteriously
  There may be a firmware issue

  Several months ago a friend of mine was not able to boot from the CD.
  He went into the BIOS and set the BIOS default settings.
  This has contributed to

  This is a suggestion, but I'm really putting t know if it helps.

• Satellite M40 is Bootable from USB?

  Hello

  Model: Satellite M40-200 (psm40e)

  There seems to be no obvious way to boot from USB in the bios. Did I miss something?

  The closest is "USB - FDD Legacy Emulation", but that seems doing nothing when a USB device is installed.

  See you soon

  Marcus

  What USB device say you exactly? USB FDD is possible when starting.

  Hi majed_m_j,

  > When I try to update the program to my laptop on my account in the Web from Toshiba site
  To be honest I m a bit confused. Which account you average and where you try to download updates?

  On your external HARD drive: you get a blue screen, it's just?
  Well, have you tested the disk external DRIVE on another computer? If this is not the case, this!

• Satellite M40 - 244--> Boot from a USB

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite m40-244 with a DVD player which unfortunately is out of service.

  I would like to know if it is possible to boot from a USB key to reinstall Windows or Linux. In the BIOS there only HDD, floppy, CD-ROM, and LAN drive options.

  Does anyone know how to boot from a USB? I tried an external USB DVD drive, it does not work. I don't know if I'm doing the right way.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  As far as I know that of not possible because the M40 BIOS does not support this!
  As you mentioned in your ad; There is only one option for booting from the HARD drive, ODD, LAN and USB FDD (floppy)

• Satellite M40: Errors graphics when you change the screen resolution

  Hello
  I have a Satellite M40 and a big problem.

  Windows xp pro sp2:
  When a program changes the resolution of the screen, the screen is messed up.
  I see only scratches and only a reboot can run back (or suspend-to-disk).

  [edit]
  I plugged an external monitor to the laptop and it works,
  the laptop screen is full of lines and the 2nd monitor shows what the laptop screen should normally display also
  [/ Edit]

  Linux:
  This can be seen also at the change of the Xwindows mode in linux back to tty(1-6)

  Here are some pictures of this strange behavior:

  It looks like a hardware problem, but would it be just a bad bios setting?

  What can I do?

  Goodbye and thank you in advance, Ronny

  Hello

  There may be something wrong with the screen of laptop computers.
  I guess that the graphics card is ok because the external screen works properly.

  But it s very interesting to know if you are using the graphics driver from Toshiba. If this isn't the case, please check if this problem also appears after installation of the graphics driver from the Toshiba driver page.

  Hello

  Don t support Toshiba laptops Linux distributions. Computers laptop Toshiba are distributed and tested with the Microsoft Windows operating system.

  As far as I know, this device was shipped with Marvell based PC Express I / F LAN (I / F Marvell chip at base of PC Express I / F)
  Well, you can try glasses a bit. You might find a driver for Linux.

  In addition, the Fedora Core 4 is based on a Red Hat Linux distribution. So I recommend you to visit this site:
