  It is only 7 months since I bought this laptop and believe that there may be no other person on this planet who looks after the training better than me!
  Really, I have not much used this drive and never scratched/gradient/local support, only the Supermedium media inserted.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Well, based on your description it sounds like the drive cannot calibrate the lens and, therefore, it of not possible to read or write to these media.
  Usual it of not possible to fix this and the replacement drive is necessary.

  You can also consult the user manual. You will find a list with all supported and compatible media.

• How to make a picture of Recovery DVD for my Satellite A200 - 1 GB?

  Hi Experts,

  As I have written before that I divided my 2nd HARD drive partitions in to 2partitions.

  Now, I want to make a DVD of recovery unless the manufacturer provided DVD.

  The reason I want it is the said USER MANUAL when we restore the provided manufacturer DVD it will FORMAT all Partitions and restore the HARD drive to the original state (when he come there two partitions).

  So now, I'm doing a recovery DVD to recover the laptop with on the FORMATTING of the second partitions.
  I just want to format only C drive and install the Vista operating system and other software manufacturer provided.
  Then other readers will be safe and data on these partitions will be safe.

  I ask you help me on this.

  It's better if someone can give me instructions for this operation.

• 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.

• 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

  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

• Question chart shared memory - Vista on Satellite M40

  I have Satellite M40-psm40 with ATI x 300 and my OS is Vista. The card has 64 MB of memory and takes 255MB with total of 319 MB of main RAM memory.

  How can I reduce it?
  * I checked the BIOS to see if can decrease, but nothing in the BIOS to change.

  Bad news man. You can not increase or decrease this RAM graphics card!
  The installed ATI MOBILITY RADEON supports the fix own memory. It is not shared video RAM.

• Satellite M40 startup / shutdown problems!

  For almost 3 months now, my Satellite M40 * don't power up * unless it is completely and absolutely * cold *. It freezes at the beginning.

  Every time I have shut down or restart my laptop, I have to wait about 25 minutes, so I can start it up again. What is happening is stops at the "* Toshiba" logo * screen, from the beginning and he * gel *. I have to press the power button until it turns the power off.

  It's a fact: the laptop is * NOT * extremely hot. Its temperatures are * regular *, I've been monitoring for some time now. If overheating is not the problem here.

  -It also won't stop; it freezes again in the * ' Windows is shutting down * ' display messages... and it freezes.

  -I know that another user of this forum who has had the same problem, but access to its wire has alleged that closed just because some have said of him/her to format and install the OS again. This is * NOT * a software problem! I have tried myself, for all its worth.

  So, knowing that I'm not the only one to have this kind of trouble with M40, what to do? Just buy a new one after 2 years?

  Hello Ricardo

  Let's be realistic. It is really possible that software is not the problem but tell me please what you can do in such situation. Not much. In another thread, the guy wrote quite reasonable notice. All you can do is make clean OS install and hope it helps.

  I agree with you that problem described is certainly hardware related issue but you can not do much and portable must be verified by the service. Using specific diagnostic tools, they can say with certainty what can be the problem.

  I don't really understand your last sentence. To be honest on this forum I have seen similar topics but unrelated to the M40 and it's really pointless to understand as untimely M40.

• 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.

• 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:

  Hello

  Sorry, but in my opinion there nothing to do.
  You cannot move all the keys on the keyboard.
  It s is not possible.

  What you can do is to change the keyboard language in the settings of the OS, but I t I think the function of the ALT GR key will change.
  Another possibility is to change the keyboard to another provision, but these make no sense because you will not be able to use the special Polish panels.

• Satellite M40-244 - cannot start from CD after driver change

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite M40-244 and the original DVD drive is faulty. So I changed the drive with one that is exactly the same (same brand, same date of manufacture).

  Under Windows, the new disk is recognized and works perfectly. However, when I try to boot from the CD, I am not able to do. I successfully changed the boot sequence in the bios, I tried all possible combinations without success.

  One thing I remember is that when I tried to boot from the faulty driver, I got the message 'Not bootable CD' (the tested CD is bootable and tested on other computers)

  Any idea anyone, I desperately need to install a new OS. :-(

  Hello

  I doubt that you can boot from CD t if your drive works properly in Windows...
  You can try another disc of starting, for example the Toshiba recovery disc or the disc from Microsoft, please?

  Alternative try to load the default settings in the BIOS.

  Good luck! :)

  Hello

  The M40 is a not sure oldie about the available settings in the BIOS and in the graphics options, but I think you should check the settings of the graphics card ATI Catalyst.
  I remember that ATI catalyst supports certain options such as resizing the Image. Here you can select the image scale Panel option full size
  In addition, you must set the resolution on the internal screen at native resolution of 1280 x 800
  I think that the external monitor supports the resolution, which is not the same thing as the screen internal.
