• Satellite M40-184 MP3 without OS

  Hello

  I have laptop Satellite M40-184 and I would like to ask you, how to play MP3 on this laptop without OS for long time as possible. I installed the program of express Media Player, but it is not possible to play MP3 with it. Or y at - it an upgrade that would allow to read MP3?

  Thank you for your answer
  Best regards

  Hello Pavel

  As much as I know there is no update that allows this option. Installation Express media player the idea was that the user can watch DVD movies and listen to music CDs without booting the operating system.

  Perhaps in the future the Toshiba will design a newer version that can play the mp3 music format.

• Satellite M40 184 - Question on battery and speakers

  Hello everyone.

  A few months ago, I bought a laptop (M40-184), which uses the harman Kardon speakers. I have two questions to ask you.

  1. the battery does not work for more than 1 hour (when the laptop is any more, or when internet explore is enabled). There are no other programs running. I think that this is not normal. What can I do? I'll be back there?

  2. speakers are a strange low frequency noise, when I'm listening to music or watching DVDs. It doen not to be little heavy or something. It was supposed to be a very good pair of speakes.
  What can I do?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Usually battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
  If you use a high performance such as 3d graphics tools tools, games or watch DVDs battery working time goes down.
  But if you only use the explore IE the battery should work more than 1 hour. In this case I think that it s a battery failure. If you need to contact the ASP for the replacement of the battery.
  In addition you must always remove the battery from the unit if the power adapter is plugged.

  2.) as far as I know that the Toshiba Virtual sound utility is preinstalled on his unit. Here, you can change some sound settings. Maybe you can solve the problem with the speakers.

• How do I start bluetooth on Satellite M40-184

  Hello
  I bought a new Satellite M40 and I found that I have the Bluetooth Manager, but it does not show me the that Bluetooth at all besides it still gives me the message "Bluetooth device is not ready" even when my bluetooth is turned on! Kindly let me know how to solve this problem, as I have been through the whole pages of starting Instructions and possible help, but nothing seems to work. Thanx

  Hello Imran

  It will be interesting to know what unit should be connected to your device (mobile phone, printer). I hope that use you the FN + F8 key combination to activate the Bluetooth connection. If the Bluetooth connection is enabled you can start a wizard and search for other Bluetooth devices.

• Satellite M40-129 and drivers Win7

  Hello

  I just installed Win7 on my Toshiba Satellite M40-129. It was really hard... Windows refuses to complete the installation until I deleted pcmcia.sys in the windows system folder.

  Now I have the problem that my pcmcia cardbus is working nor my SD card reader. As soon as I ask for Win7 to update driver PCMCIA, the doesn´t of the computer unbootable until I have again to remove pcmcia.sys.

  Now my question: I can live with having one for not working the PCMCIA port, but there all the drivers available for windows 7 and the Cardbus SD?

  Thank you very much.

  Technohead

  This old Satellite is not supported for Win7 and you won't find any driver for it. It is not easy to configure the hardware on these old books but Win7 has good drivers base and, after several Microsoft updates most of the equipment must be installed correctly.

  What you can try is to try to install the driver designed for another model of laptop. Perhaps satellite A100 or Satellite A200. I put t know if this will help but you can test it in any case.

• Satellite M40 - start and stop issue

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop Satellite M40 on stop to the low process sometimes also on windows start and I think it's BIOS associates.

  When I start my laptop, sometimes (not always) I get an error message in a blue screen saying that my BIOS is not fully ACPI-compatible... I reboot, and if I wait a while, the system boots normally, but if I just restart immediately, he'll get the same message.
  It happens sometimes that the computer goes further opening in the black screen message: contact tomorrow: toshiba

  The other problem, I don't know if it of related or not, is that the computer is not shut down or restart. I have to do it by pressing the button for a while. I thought it was an application that I had in my system that was the cause, but I have just formatted the hard drive and the same mistakes are still ongoing...

  When it stops, it stops right on the message: 'Windows is shutting down... ". »

  I updated my BIOS with the new available for download here to toshiba support, and I think it was the trigger for all these problems... now I don't know how to go back, or even if it's the reason.
  I really hope someone here can help me, because I just wanted all the information related to the internet without success.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Satellite M40 is well-known for me because one of my friends has one at home. Laptop very nice.

  So, what can I say? It's really not easy to say what the problem is here, but if you use Windows XP Home edition for a long time, it can happen that one day to happen strange things. I believe that no one here can say with certainty what the problem with your machine.

  If possible, you should clean OS installation using recovery media delivered. After doing this, you should see what is happening. In this case, no one can say that there are programs that have bad influence on the execution of the operating system.

• Satellite M40-313 and Vista

  Hello

  I m a surfer of money with a counter top, but my 22 year old daughter, as recently bought it a second hand Toshiba Satellite M40 313, now she wanted to put Windows Vista Ultimate OS on it, I had my doubts, so I increased the RAM to 2gbs and gave it a try, it seems to work very well, he's a bit slow , after a couple of days a week and after several software maybe init started acting a bit erratic.

  Question is the will of the hold of the laptop operating system or would it be wise to low-grade it back.

  Yes, you must reinstall WXP. There are several reasons for this. My friends has the same model of laptop and it works well with Windows XP Home edition.
  So, this former model of laptop is designed for Windows XP Home edition and Toshiba offers no Vista support for this model of laptop. This means that there are no drivers or tools or utilities available. You will never be able to set up well with Vista.

  Install WXP using recovery delivered image or install your own WXP and all drivers, tools and utilities. You can find them on the Toshiba support page. In my view, it must be some leaves in ARCHIVES.

  If you need more help with installing Windows XP edition family thanks for posting again.

• Satellite M40 - format and install NO CD from recovery

  Hello
  I need to format the hard drive and install XP Pro SP2 on my Satellite M40 - 239 (pre installed XP HE). How do we install the Express Media Player? Do I need to do before installing with my own XP disks? The Express Media recovery disk reformat the hard disk and let me choose the size of the partition etc.? Or should I first install XP SP2 (not from the recovery disk, it is my own), then the media player? And how do I install all of the tools supplied preinstalled in the factory? On the product recovery disc, it seems there is no installation of software for them, am I stuck with XP it if I want to keep the tools (Bluetooth, ConfigFree etc.)?

  Hello

  Well, the drivers needed on the Toshiba page you will find:

  On the express media player:

  Should at least 150-200 MB of available free space on the HARD drive.
  This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
  To get this space available on party products 3rd HARD drive must be used.

• Heating and noise problem laptop while streaming

  To avoid this situation that I should get more RAM? Currently I have 1 GB. And running Windows 7 on my Lenovo N200 0769.

  Any help or recomendatiosn will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Search for dust accumulates on the radiator cooling fins.

  Located under a Panel on the bottom, blow out with

  compressed air or using a soft bristle brush.

  And more ram (2 GB total) can't hurt!

• Satellite 2450 S203 fan noise problems

  Hi guys

  I had a Sat 2450 S203 since October 2003 and have recently noticed that whenever I run memory intensive programs fan noise levels are excessive and constant!

  If someone could Advisor on the replacement of the fan and know if I should do it myself. Please also comment on the impact on costs as well. Are there other ways around to get rid of this problem?

  Hello

  After this long period, your device must be cleaned properly. I guess that dust inside the unit don't allow adequate cooling and cooling fan must often runs and faster to cool the hardware components. It is not only specific for your device, but for all laptops.

  I'm sure that after cleaning, your device can take a deep breath and will work a lot better and calmer. I noticed the same thing with my Satellite P20. After cleaning the laptop runs very quiet and cooling fan just works sometimes. I'm very happy now.

• Satellite Pro A100 and load problems

  Hello everyone. New Member here.

  Got a huge problem with my laptop. I have a satellite pro A100-830. Part number: PSAACE-00W002EN. About 2 years ago

  I can run on the current system. But it will not work on battery. I just bought a new battery and it shows on the computer.
  I get indications are:

  battery charge amber lit.
  Light on power
  Power meter indicates the battery charge. I connected new battery and it shows 47% and now 3 hours later its still 47%
  If I unplug the power to the computer shuts down and will not work on battery.

  the AC light seems to be slightly duller than the one next to him, if that makes sense.

  Ive tried updating the BIOS etc but I'm ideas if im honest as im not a computer pro. I searched the internet but I can't find an answer

  Huge thanks in advance

  Stand by.
  We need more explanation here.

  You have the same problem with the battery and you have bought one new in the hope that everything will be OK?
  Have you noticed the same problem with the battery?
  You bought original Toshiba battery?

  In my view BIOS update won't help you much. I think electronic power is responsible for this BIOS update ahs no influence on this.

• Satellite Pro 4270 and network problems

  I just got a laptop, Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270... I installed win 98 on it and it works beautifully.

  But then I added LAN PCMCIA card in computer and wanted to do some sufring. I encountered a problem.

  In the next devices, win98 reports error handler:
  The NDIS. VXD, NTKERN. VXD or Chargers device for this device could not load the device driver. (Code 2).

  The card is 3Com Fe575C and I downloaded the latest drivers from www.3Com.com/warranty, but that did not help. I also ran regclean and reinstalled the card after that. Always the same fault. With my own laptop (win2k pro), the card works perfectly with no additional drivers, so the map itself is not defective.

  In addition, the Win98 find PCI card when starting, but I have no driver for that... Where can I get that? It does not specify which card that is...

  Hello

  I guess it is Win 98 Second Edition You are using on the 4270.
  Please go to driver download site and download the INF-update to the PC Card controller. I think this should solve your problem.

  While you are at it download the other drivers you need more.

• Satellite Pro M70 and chariging problems

  Hello everyone,

  I wonder if anyone can help me with my problem, my Satellite Pro M70 sometimes does not load when I put the charger into the socket, if I out of the power supply and leave it for 2 days I have costs for a period of time up to 20 hours, and then did the same thing.

  I tried to turn it on without the battery, to check whether the problem is with him, but he turns. So this led me to believe the problem isn t the battery.

  Can anyone help?

  > have tried to turn it on without the battery, to check if the problem is with him, but it won't turn
  You mean the power of t n for laptop up connected to the sector, but without battery plugged in?

  Hmmm, to me this looks like a bit of a problem with AC adapter or an electrical problem of power offers the Board of Directors. As you probably knew that, it is really difficult to provide suggestions without touching the laptop.

  First of all, you can check if the machine uses latest BIOS. If this isn't the case, update the BIOS.
  Check if the laptop would go also without battery and only connected to the network.

  If this does not work, then the adapter should be verified.
  If the AC adapter is ok, then, the motherboard must be verified

• Satellite A100 heating and fan problem

  Hello

  I will try to describe my problem in detail because I so hope that it might help!

  I have a 5 years A100-011, Nvidia 7600 Go satellite. Recently, I fixed a display problem that I used to, however, this time (two weeks ago) him comes from the computer laptop back from the workshop with this heating problem. Which is the first time! The problem is the fan.

  When I start the PC, the fan works like it ti be long, maximum for 3-4 seconds. After that the fan barely works! According to me, the air coming out but very very low! less than how it is used for years! I came back to the same place, I corrected the PC. They checked and claim his fine and work! So, I give it a shot and tried the PC.

  Unconsciously, there is problem. Because the temperature of the GPU that has the problem, idling about reaching 60 c (SpeedFan) and goes high (65-67) while surfing the net! And using this way too much for internet!

  What makes it even worst fan always at the same speed very slow! The speed can increase little when he reached 67c!

  In this way, I can not use any high performance program, because the PC becomes more heated then stop.

  Note: I tried the following:
  1-BIOS (latest version) no available fan control
  2 power settings does nothing and there is no option of cooling method
  3 - fan control software. Unfortunately, nothing has worked

  I don't really know what the problem is! Given that the fan works but not all the time and why the GPU gets hot without doing something really serious! What is a cleaning problem? If so, why the fan does not reach its maximum speed at this temperature. !

  I hope I am fine help and answer here!
  PLS help!
  Thank you

  I agree with the user Notepad Akuma is 5 years old and I think that there is a lot of dust and debris inside the cooling modules that prevent fans from running correctly.
  Air can circulate properly and therefore the temperature rises
  So what to do?

  You can use a jet of compressed air to remove dust from the fans that I'm doing this regularly and it helps to clean the fans
