• Various issues with Satellite M40 225

  Hello

  I am having some problems with my laptop Satellite M40-225. -Here's...

  First of all when booting I get a bad / lack error OSB, in order for me to get to the start I must incline Press esc, go into the bios then get out of the bios tilt the laptop again and it will start then.

  Also I sometimes get errors BOSD, sometimes he mentions ati2, but above all it says physical memory.

  I have flashed the bios to try to get rid of the first error but no luck.
  Nothing new has been installed on the laptop, I even reloaded windows and tried with a spare hard drive, but nothing seems to work!

  Please help, I know that probably need something alternative, but I don't want to start buying things for her I have I don't know what's going to fix it.

  Thank you

  Susie

  Hello

  AFAIK usually Missing/Bad OSB logo error message is displayed if the error was detected in the BIOS or CMOS ROM module

  But according to the BSOD with physical memory error error, I guess that your modules of memory are not correct and that this must be the main reason for you questions.

  Of course I could be wrong also, and perhaps the whole issue is related to the faulty motherboard but in the first step, you should check your modules of memory installed.

  Hope you will get rid of these questions after a replacement memory.
  I keep fingers crossed ;)

  Good luck

• Satellite M40-225 does not Windos 7 or Vista?

  Hey,.
  I am trying to install Windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite M40-225, but it does not start after installation. After completing the installation of Windows will try to start for the first to say "prepare your computer for his first start" then after 5 seconds or it will restart and do the same thing again...

  The same problem also happens with Windows Vista.

  If you have any ideas it would be much appreciated. I thought maybe the RAM, but it passes all Diagnostics, even with the hard drive.

  This model of laptop is not designed for Vista or Win7 and equipment do not correspond to the requirements and standards for the two operating systems.

  Do you know how old is Satellite M40?
  To be honest, I really wonder that you try to install the newest OS on this old laptop model.

• Satellite M40-225: confused about Bluetooth

  You just bought a Satellite M40-225. Checked forum for issues of bluetooth but, to be honest, I got a little confused!

  Basically I want to use bluetooth and guess I need some kind of adapter. Suggestions? Need to download drivers or anything like that too?

  More... (!), I have a PowerMac G5 and airport network wireless broadband BT Yahoo. Is it possible to connect my new PC to a network of MAC - or is it the Devil's own work?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Satellite M40 has no Bluetooth. This means that you must buy a USB BT's key. It's not expensive and installation is very simple. Usually, if you buy the one that you will get the software CD. Before installing any software, check if your unit has installed Bluetooth stack.

  I'm sure you will find battery Bluetooth for Windows by Toshiba V3.10.00 on your device. In the control panel check Add and Remove Programs option. List all the installed components.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A30 PSA30E suddenly turned off

  My A30 satellite seems to work ok as long as the air can move freely under the fans. When the power is low and you plug it in, it turns off after about 5 minutes. You must charge the battery and remove the sector so that it works without going out suddenly while you're busy using it. All solutions? or the reasons why. Did the last update of the BIOS.

  Hey guys,.

  Maybe you should do the following:

  Take a can compressed air to an electronic market, blast, some air trough the vents of your laptop and try if your machines are chrashing... sometimes simply it s one with cpu clobbed dust fan and and a clobbed cooling system, causing problems like yours.

  It s worth a try...

• Satellite M40 - 244 sudden stop - cooling/temperature problem?

  Hello everyone!

  For about 1 week, my laptop M40-244 became unable to cool down! Then, of course, more often, it stops suddenly to avoid any damage. I am sure that this problem is triggered out of cooling, simply by touching the left side of the key board it is easy to feel the (high-temperature 8 -

  My QUESTION is: is it possible for me to avoid the repair?

  I'm in Shanghai, I can not expensive toll-free phone and surprisingly that I have not found in the Web from Toshiba site any way to contact a Toshiba support by e-mail (if someone knows a way, please tell me!)

  Because it's very curious: my laptop is '8-month-old', never this kind of problem to date, and Toshiba is well known for a good cooling system. Recently, my laptop did not shock. Would it be possible that the fan has suddenly stopped working well?

  I tried to "verify" my laptop, but the failed to install of Speedfan and Motherboard Monitor 5 seems unsuited to the M40 244 then he is totally unable to find any sensor Board! Now, I've seen in some forums and website the possibility of the "underclocking", or a way to 'reset' the BIOS fan, but, Wow!, I am not an expert! What it means? It is possible with a laptop computer, or it is only possible with a PC?

  Here go us! I can go to a store of Toshiba and I guarantee, but it is required to serve 1 week without my laptop so professionally, she is extremely boring for me!

  Sorry, I'm a little long and sorry for my English (I'm French!), but If someone KNOWS A WAY THAT ALLOWS ME TO SOLVE this COOLING PROBLEM BY MYSELF, please tell me!

  Thanks in advance,

  Fred

  Hi Fred

  Vacuuming, cleaning procedure is not bad and very easy, but be careful. But if it does not help you should contact Toshiba service partner.
  The fact is that your laptop is under warranty and if there is a serious problem with the cooling module and fans the service partner must check.

  If you click this link, you will find the list of the FSA from Toshiba:

  In addition, you should check the settings in the energy saver because this Toshiba tool that controls the use of the CPU and cooling method.

  Good luck

• Satellite M40-225 and PCMCIA Vista driver

  I have lost my original for my M40 discs so bought a copy of Vista to install on my computer, when I install everything first that the computer would not start so I searched on the internet and it seems that there is a conflict with the PCMCIA and Vista drivers. I followed the advice on the forum, and managed to get vista to load by removing all files related to the PCMCIA drivers.

  Vista is in charge now, but I am unable to find updated drivers for the PCMCIA location running. I use this port for my Wi - Fi has inside it was very slow with my router. I tried to download the drivers for Toshiba but there not those of Vista. I reinstalled the original but they still don t work although Vista is in charge now. Does anyone know a solution to my problem?

  Thanks Steve

  Hello

  First the M4 I put t understand why there is a conflict between the PCMCIA and Vista drivers!
  The drivers are included in the Vista operating system so how did you remove these drivers and how did you install Vista on this laptop?

  In addition, the phone supports PC card and you can use the R2.01 PCMCIA, PC Card 16 (multifunction cards) and 32-bit PCMCIA cards. The BIOS determines this slot machine.

  Maybe you have updated the BIOS before installing Vista on this unit!

• Satellite M40-225 - compatibility of the power supply?

  Hello

  I don't know if anyone would be able to help, but I recently posted on my power supply blow. I was able to get in touch with a diet that is supposed to be compatible with my laptop. The reference number of this power supply is PA3378E-1ACA which is 15v 5A side, and one that exploded because of worn wiring part was PA3378U-1ACA.

  Would it not good for me to use it? My laptop was left uncharged for days now, really needing to work! :(

  Thanks for any help anyone!

  Sincere greetings,
  Antony

  Hello

  Original AC adapter for your device is PA3283U-2ACA 15V 5A 75W universal adapter 100-240 v .

• Satellite M40-225 download Phoenix recover tiscali pro6

  keep getting right message at the end of the failed download "year error has occurred - installation wizard has encountered a problem running chkdsk/f to correct & try again" tried 5 times and contacted tiscali advising of 'something' on my laptop does not block download - ideas anyone?

  HI James,

  It is unlikely that nothing is actually blocking the download being the only possibilities here your firewall (always assuming that you have enabled) or your anti-virus software. In both cases this would prevent download of even start or at least give you a pop-up warning that would then allow you to proceed to the download.

  If you have the possibility to download in .zip format, I would recommend this operation and then, by running the installation after the download finished. In this way, you can eliminate the download process itself.

  It is significant that the installation wizard asking you to run a CHKDSK/F, because this suggests problems in reading the data from your hard drive.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A200 - loses the battery, switch off the power

  I have a relatively old Satellite A200, yet almost all inside is new except the battery. The battery has a very short life, but that's because its old. Recently the computer started to suddenly lose the battery, so the charge light stays on, the battery light turns off and the battery icon said "plugged in, not charging." However, the computer still work on battery power. If I see it at the time, then by removing and replacing the charger repeatedly, I can start it load again, but if I am not it switches off without warning. Since the battery life is now less than a minute which often.

  I don't think that the problem is with the charger because it always shows the charger is plugged in, and when the computer is off the battery light is always on when it is plugged. I had a problem with the power connector, but if the motherboard was recently replaced so I don't think that's it either.

  If someone could help it would save me a lot of frustration, thank you.

  Hello

  At first, I must say that you should not be frustrated. Problems with consumer products are normal, and each of us has problems with laptops, televisions or other electronic product.

  Let's see what you can do about it.
  Your description is OK, but what I want to know is follow:
  When you remove the battery can work on your laptop with no problems (start work, cut)?

  I also think that the battery is too old and I presume it's troublemaker in the history. It is not easy to explain what behavior flashing if you have a defective hardware or old coin inside.

  Maybe, you need to buy the replacement of the battery and check the features for laptop and the battery, just to see if everything will be OK again. If you will be faced with the same problem again then we can discuss what may be the problem.
  In my opinion only a reason for this could be electronic power supply.

  What do you think?

• Satellite M40 - must manually toggle switch to connect wireless

  I have a Satellite M40 and the wireless works fine, but I have to manually switch the switch to toggle ON / OFF wireless on OFF then back on whenever I want to connect to internet wireless after the market or into hibernation.

  Is it possible that she is automatically connect so I can't keep doing this? When I got this laptop it works automatically, but at one point stopped, don't know why. Everything else works fine.

  Hi Michelleypie,

  I put t know why you must always switch off, then on the wireless network card if you want to connect to the WLAN router because I m not a technician for laptop.

  In your case, I would try to update the WLAN driver. You can download these updates on the Toshiba WLAN Portal:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  Finally and above all what version of Windows are you using? Using the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or your own installation?

• Satellite C660 powers, black screen and switches off the power

  Hello world.

  I have a C660 - 22v.Everything worked very well. An hour later, then to use the laptop again, it works, and he turned on as normal in 2 clicks, then more nothing. Just a black screen, not yet turned on, then after 5 to 15 seconds, the fan accelerates for a second or 2, then the laptop turns off.

  Tried with the batteryout & just the charger pluged, just the battery, hold the power button, all sorts of ways, but it only of the switches off the power.

  I think that the hard drive has failed. Any help would be welcome as its out of warranty (16 months).

  A big thank you in advance, Neil.

  In my opinion it has nothing to do with the hard drive. I assume that there is a problem of electronic power supply. I have a similar problem with my A300 and at the moment I put t know what to do.
  Repair is probably quite expensive so I m thinking about selling on eBay as being faulty.

  Problem is that we cannot do much. What should do? You can dismount, take a look inside and put the new.

  Either it works or not. I'm afraid that your problem is for the service and it must be checked by the guys from the services of m.

• Satellite M40 - Power stops suddenly

  Hi friends,

  Initially, I had some problem with my adapter which, after some time, I set myself. But after that 2 days back, my power supply laptop suddenly stops and that its battery is not too, it closes without stopping. The power light turns off too, but after 7-10 minutes, they reglow (LED) and after that I can restart my computer, but this problem from happening again.

  In addition, due to this sudden put off tension, my computer screen is now black come with a very light very light until the final start screen comes.

  I will be really grateful for your help!

  Hello!

  This is strange, but I think it could be a matter of the AC adapter. You can test a different adapter for your laptop?

  Maybe that your laptop is also overheating and stops due to a higher internal temperature. If you need to clean your laptop with a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  I clean my cell phone every 3 months and never had overheating problems.

  Good bye

• Black screen on Satellite M40-185

  After that a few months of problems with switch-offs sudden finally my Toshiba Satellite M40 - 185 is a black screen and it cannot do more. I have an external monitor, but it is also black.
  Should I try to get a new LCD inverter or leave the Toshiba service get it and look at the motherboard?
  Maybe its completely dead?

  Any help and suggestions welcome!
  Dimitris

  Hi Dimitris

  If the result is the same laptop computer s screen and external monitor it's probably serious hardware problem and fair service can help. I guess that the graphics card is the troublemaker and I fear that the motherboard must be exchanged.

  Of course, I can't say that for sure. Because of this that the technicians run diagnostic programs to see what is the problem with your laptop.

• Low beginning on Satellite M40-145 after changing the 160 GB HARD drive

  Hello

  I own a Satellite M40-145 since 2005. After more than two years without any problem, two weeks ago the 80 GB hard drive to the original address has been damaged. So I had to replace it with a new, 160 GB (this replacement was made in a store because it's out of warranty).

  I used successfully on the new HARD drive recovery CD to install Windows XP and all the drivers (just as when it was new).
  I used Partition Magic to create a partition of D for data. Also, I installed Office 2003, Norton 360 and connected to the Internet.
  It worked quickly with only small problems than perhaps with little patience I could fix: as this Bluetooth hardware is not detected and the wireless switch began with the lights off even being in the position we (it worked with new just switching out-lit again). But suddenly, after only one day of use, Windows starts became very slow. It takes about 4-5 minutes until it is possible to use the laptop.

  Now, I tried many possibilities to solve the problem, but always ending on the same problem: I used the recovery CD again and try to use the computer with or without updates (I thought that maybe the problem was due to a bad update), with and without Internet access, etc.
  I also tried in vain the program Microsoft Bootvis to try to speed up the startup, etc.

  I even created an image with Acronis to only with XP and Office running fast, so that I could install it again and try new things.
  I also tried to clean the registry with various programs like CCleaner, TuneUp 2008
  Also the defrag JKDefrag and PageDefrag. But always returning to the same problem after a few days of good conduct.

  I don't know what else I could do. I wonder if maybe the new HD is damaged (although I test and no error or no damage was detected) or if the update BIOS might resolve this problem (I'm not and that's a big risk).

  Please, could someone help me?
  Thank you very much for your attention.
  Pablo

  In my view, that there is nothing wrong with the software or all drivers on you laptop.
  I think the key is the enormous size of the HARD drive.

  The difference between 80 and 160 GB is huge.

  To my knowledge, the BIOS supports a limit on the size of HARD drive and I really wonder why the 160 GB HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS.

  However, I think you should test a 100 GB, 120 GB HDD if the same question perhaps if poster using a HDD a size smaller.

  Best regards
