  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!

• Update disk on Satellite M40-237

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M40-237 with ata100 of Fujitsu 80 GB hard drive and Windows XP Home Edition. I would like to replace by WD3200BEVE. Allegedly, it is also 320 GB ata100 drive. Will it work? I see all 320 GB?

  Concerning
  Greg

  I don t think so. Yes SATA connector but not with ATA conector so best you can do is use new 120 GB HARD drive.

• 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.

• How to install Vista on Satellite M40-237?

  Can help guide me how to install vista on satellite m40-237?
  It hangs at the starting phase.

  Vista compatibility tool has shown this compatible machine to install vista.

  Hello

  Satellite M40 is about two years old and this laptop is not taken in charge of Vista. I guess this hood must be new BIOS for Vista installation. Unfortunately will not create new Toshiba Vista supported BIOS and all drivers for this model of laptop. :(

  Computers laptops capable only Vista will be supported as far as I know.

• Satellite M40-285 - CPU overheating after the accident with water

  Hello everyone,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M40-285, and 2 days ago, my girlfriend dumped a cup of tea on the keyboard... The computer turns off after a few seconds. Immediately, I put the laptop upside down and disassembled parts. There was some liquid inside (especially inside the speakers under the keyboard and where is the DVD unit). Other parts (CPU, memory, wireless card, hard drive area) were completely dry. I have it with napkings and dry with a hair dryer (later I read that I shoud never use a hair dryer...).

  The turs laptop on one seems to work fine (only the first screen where it says toshiba remains more than normal long (15 seconds or more) before entering windows). But the problem I have is that the CPU gets overheated and the laptop shuts down after 5-15 minits of use. I'm getting attention via the RightMark utility I said "* Core overheating * ' and the temperature always between 45 - 55 c

  I replaced the thermalgrease but the problem remains. The CPU fan works (I think that the two speeds). The heatsink is very hot after the computer turns off (it burns my fingers if I touch)

  What could be the problem? * Is the processor damaged? Can be a problem in the motherboard? *
  I don't know what to don't know because is not woth the money to send it to the technical service, but I can't buy a new laptop now...

  Hey,.

  I m wondering that the laptop is still ongoing and no more parts are damaged. In addition he s very cool that you could fix it yourself and dry. Many people don t know how ;)

  In any case, if the CPU is overheating it seems that something on the assembly or the cooling fan is damaged and must be replaced. Possibly peut t fan run with the highest speed more, who knows.

  Of course, it is difficult to say what is the cause of the problem, but in your case I would try ordering a new fan and the heatsink too. The two parties shouldn't t be expensive and it seems that you can replace yourself.
  So just contact a service provider allowed in your country to order these parts. They can do this.

  Good luck and feedback would be great, I am interested on this! :)

• Satellite M40-237: I can not burn + R discs but no problem with CD r

  My first attempt to burn DVDs on my laptop failed. I tried to burn some + R discs using Nero and some other programs like DVD Form(which is part of the laptop's original software), but without getting anywhere.

  It's as if the computer does not recognize the discs. I have not had any problems burning CD - R. I know that my disk is multi-enregistreur, so it should work well with all kinds of CD and DVD.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  I agree with the previous user of the forum. Sometimes, there is a problem with the media. Experiment with a few different media. I use TDK for a long time and I have never had any problems.

  As far as I know your unit has Super multi drive and it should be able to manage with DVD + R/RW. By the way: who will drive you have (listed in the Device Manager)?

• 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.

• 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.

• On Satellite M40-223 some games make the display freeze

  Hello
  I have a Satellite M40-223 with an Ati Radeon X 600 is.
  Some games (such as shockwave, world of warcraft games or never)
  Winter Nights 2) make freeze display and the crash of the laptop
  (accidents do happen after the same amount). I downloaded the drivers
  on the toshiba site (16/11/05, 6.14.10.6534 drivers) and nothing has
  has changed. Then I downloaded the latest drivers from the ati site
  (http://ati.amd.com/online/mobilecatalyst/) and removed the older
  (following the instructions of ati). The display freezes always but
  Sometimes the VPU recover the previous session.
  What should I do?
  I will try to uninstall these drivers and install the ones toshiba
  Once again? When I installed the drivers from toshiba for the first
  I did use uninstaller first, time could this affect the most recent configuration?

  I will try to use the omega drivers?

  Best regards

  Laura

  Hello

  It s not advised not to use the graphics driver from Toshiba. The other drivers don't support the overheating protection. The games are a high performance programs. If these applications are running on the laptop all devices must operate with maximum performance and produce a lot of heat. The high temperature could be responsible for this gel and close downs.

  I read in the forum that you can install the other drivers (not Toshiba) at your own risk.
  I think you should check the fans for dust and debris.
  Sometimes the cooling modules may not cool properly because the dust and, therefore, these problems occur.
  Additional do not forget that there is enough free space around the laptop to the airflow correctly
