• Satellite M40-313 - need to reinstall XP, but don't have the CD

  Hello: o).

  I have a SATELLITE M40-313, and I also have the serial number for the family XP Edition version
  Toshiba. But I don't have the cd that can restore / reinstall the system. A normal Xp Home
  version won't, because he's going to say that the series is invalid. So I need to get my hands on
  a version of Xp that will focus on this system. And I live in the UK, but in Poland, Gdansk.

  Sombody on ther so know what I should do to get this computer back in shape?

  Thank you so mutch!

  > A normal XP Home Edition version won't, because he's going to say that the series is not valid

  You must use the Toshiba Recovery disk or the original disc of Microsoft Win XP with a clean serial key! You cannot use a version of Win XP as part of the serial key you found at the bottom of the unit that this key belongs to the OEM version pre-installed on laptop and will not work with any other version of Win XP.

  Since the M40 is an older model mobile phone, you will not be able to order recovery of disk he abandoned s
  Therefore, use a clean WIN XP CD. The Toshiba drivers are placed to the driver page

• Peripheral USB do not work correctly on the Satellite M40 313

  I have a Satellite M40 313 I bought there are about 1 1/2 years and have had some problems with.

  However, I recently bought a Canon S3 IS and a Buffalo portable HD here in Japan, where I currently work.
  These two devices do not work with my computer.

  Attach the HD produced the message that this device will work better with a USB 2.0 high speed Port, before XP decides that the HD is actually a keyboard HID device! The camera mount, for which I had installed the software provided, will produce a message that suggests that I have install usbscan.sys file and forces me to use a driver of generic digital camera that does not work with the Canon camera.
  I fetch the requested file, but it made no difference...

  It seems that it is a problem of USB, and I also noticed that some of my friends devices USB do not work well with my computer.

  In this case, what is the best way to update my software so its compatible USB? Have I been dismantled down to the USB 1.1 version by WIndows at any given time? The pilot on the hub root 5.1.2600.2180 and is dated 07/01/2001.

  Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Hello

  Perhaps a biosupdate could help you? I mean it s do not know if is it a hardware problem or software, so that you can first try to check if it s a software linked history by:
  1.), updated the Bios
  2.) recover the system with the recovery cd (backup your data first!  ;))
  3.) install the latest drivers (do not install MS updates or patches, sometimes they cause errors)

  If you have no success after completing these steps, and then give a few comments.

• 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.

  Hi Etienne

  Don t think that a series of Satellite M40 PSM44E were shipped with the BIOS 1.3 or higher.
  Series only the BIOS 1.2 is available for the PSM44E. It s on the page of the Toshiba driver.

  Of course, you will also find an other BIOS updates; v1.7 and v2.0
  But these versions are released for other Satellite M40 series and are not compatible with the Satellite M40 * PSM44E.*

• Satellite M40-313 is dead and no longer turns

  Hi all

  I have an old Sat M40-313, which worked fine for the last 3 years +.
  This morning, I found he was dead and would not turn back on. I tried the obvious things (I was a service engineer for many years in the 1980s on things like the PDP series, so some experience) as switching power supplies (I have had to change the diet before the summer that the cable was doubtful but kept the old one, in the case), but still could not climb.

  While I had a little browse (on another machine) to see if I could find some free hints, let him he connected with most recent feeding. When I went past, I noticed on the power lights. He started, but has lasted only a minute or two before dying again. Leave it plugged an hour gave me several minutes of use. I went to control panel | Power and had a look at the power indicator. He told me that he was in charge, but I noticed that the level fell. So obviously, the current will out of the battery faster going. He went from 11% to 7% after about three minutes, so I turned it off again.

  The most recent feeding is a vanilla object that I have purchased from PC City and is the original battery. Anyone have an idea how I can eliminate one of the possibilities of the equation, please? I don't want to buy a new battery if the problem is the power supply, and vice versa, so all advice is welcome.

  Don't know how passed under the original subject line, so changed it back. Hey ho

  Hello

  You can very easily check.

  The laptop turns on if you connect the power adapter on the laptop (without battery connected)?
  If so, the adapter is ok and supplying power to the laptop.

• 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 Pro A100 has "limited or no connectivity" & no connection to the local network

  Hello!

  I + really + hope someone might be able to help with this - been going slowly crazy.

  Bought my A100 18 months ago in Australia while I lived there and had no trouble to connect to LANs and others with my wireless. Everything was shipped over to me (here in London) last week and everything seems to have gone pear shaped. The House I live in has Wireless Broadband comes with our Sky Cable subscription, working on (I think - there is no real marking on the device) a router wireless Netgear A/G dual band (108 Mbps 802.11 b/g network). My laptop model is: SatellitePro A100 (part No.: PSAACE-007002EN) and it works on the following network hardware (drivers installed in brackets):

  1394 net adapter (5.1.2535.0)
  Intel(r) PRO/1000 PL Network Connection (9.2.24.0)
  Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (10.1.0.13)

  I used the Sky Broadband installation disc to set up the network, but every time I try to connect it tells me that I have "Limited or no connectivity" and will not let me online. I've been on the phone for Technical Support of sky for hours, trying to get this sort, but when I plug in the Ethernet cable to the laptop it will not even get to communicate directly with the router (i.e. put the IP address of the router in explore and view the settings of the router). My 'Connectivity Doctor' shows there is a problem with my wireless connection (which the network has not assigned a network address of the computer), but no problem with my ethernet connection and yet neither will allow me to get online and every time that I try to repair the wireless connection I get an error message saying that Windows could not renew the IP address.

  I have disabled the Bluetooth, reset the router I don't know how many times and made sure that all cards have been activated and crosses without bad red and yellow exclaimation in Device Manager. All network devices seem to be "working properly" (according to the properties of the device).

  After days of weeding through the proverbial haystack of resources online while at work, I think that the problem is either something very simple (i.e. a setting random advanced configuration). I read somewhere as you will need to 'install' the router on the system, and that is not "plug and play" as Sky Broadband seems to have deduced by phone... but I would have thought the installation CD has done this, as when I discovered my connections (when the Ethernet cable is plugged in), it recognizes the connection (it won't only ++ anything). If there is no specific process I need to follow in order to properly install the Netgear router (for which I am currently trying to see if there are appropriate drivers, I need to download), I'd appreciate a lot of the age of enlightenment! It could also be a question that I need to reset the network key in the security settings of the router, as there are already three computers in the House connected to the network... but of course I can not do without first sorting on why my laptop can still communicate with the router via the Ethernet connection.

  Points to note:
  -My laptop runs on Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2
  -The disc to install Sky Broadband installed Internet Explorer 7. the last time I was online, I think that I was still using 6.

  If anyone could be of any use to solve this puzzle, you have earned yourself my eternal gratitude!

  -Danielle

  Hello

  I think that the solution should be simple;
  I presume that you TCP/IP settings are false. I mean that the settings should be set to automatically assign the IP address.

  Please check this box. Simply go to the network connections-> local network connections TCP/IP properties properties

• Satellite L50-A-K3K: limited wi - fi connection - only 72, 2Mbps

  Hello!

  I have a new laptop L50-A-K3K with Atheros AR956x WLAN. My laptop connects to the router Thomson TCW770 (who is woking in mode mixed g/n) on 72, 2 Mbps instead of as my other 150Mbps portable as z570 done.

  I have not found clues for this problem on the internet. Is it possible to make my Toshiba laptop connects to the router on 150Mbps?

  Supports card WLan 802.11 * b/g/n standards.

  Read this thread on WLan standards and unique frequencies
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=72831

  802.11 a supports 5 GHz
  supports 802.11 b 2.4 Ghz
  802.11 g supports 2.4 Ghz
  802.11 n supports 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz option, but only if the same chip would support 802.11 standard.

  It is why the 2.4 Ghz frequency is supported, which means that max 54 Mbps transfer rate can be achieved.
  But 54 Mbps is just a theoretical value. Usual speed would be ~20Mbit/s = ~ 2.5Mbyte / s

• Satellite M40-313 USB question

  Hello
  I bought the laptop that precedes the last week and I have a terrible problem with the USB ports. I connect a standard USB device such as mouse, printer, scanner etc. and everything is ok. I bought an external hard drive that is USB 2.0 and have also an old 40 GB USB 2.0 external hard drive and I can't get to be recognized by the laptop. If I plug the external sources on a PC, they are recorded immediately and work without any problem. I disabled all the USB root hubs so that the laptop can not stop devices to save energy but still the same thing.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The USB ports provide 500mA. It is a standard value. If the external USB device needs more than 500mA then, the operating system can not recognize this device.
  I recommend using a USB hub with external power supply. This should solve the problem.

• Satellite A300 - lack of sleep/hibernate with connected LAN cable

  Hello

  I've owned a 1FZ A300 for a few weeks and unfortunately it did not go into sleep mode or hibernation while the ethernet cable from the router is plugged in, even with other programs stopped.

  (Previously, I used an other non-Toshiba notebook with no problem)

  I tried upgrading the BIOS as suggested in other threads, but it is newer that what is available on the Web site.

  Everyone knows about this problem?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello Mike ;)

  I wonder what you do with your laptop. I have Satellite A300-1LI in front of me and standby/hibernation work correctly. Last week, I tested the portable functionality under Windows XP Home edition and I didn't notice any problems under Windows XP Home edition either.

  Now I have Vista (recovery image) once again and it works well. Can I use FN + F3, F4 with no problems.
  Please note that my Satellite A300 is permanently connected to the local network. I use it for my work.

  The question is: have you noticed that on the first day?

• Satellite M40-307: accessibility utility does not work with the limited user account

  Hello everyone,

  I have a Satellite M40-307 (PSM44E), and I had a problem with the utility "accessibility", which displays an icon in the notification bar of Windows XP, to inform the user if the "Fn" key is active or not.

  This utility would not work for the administrator would not worry so much, because the administrator is supposed to know what he does. But the limited user doesn't have access, that bother anymore.

  In Administrator, this utility works quite well. But during a session of limited user, if I try to launch it in [runas / user: admin "C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\Windows Utilities\TACSPROP.exe"],
  I am replied that the file TCMSVR. DLL is not found. If I launch normally, a message tells me that this utility requires that I am logged on as administrator.

  So, what can I do to use this utility normally, i.e. in a limited user Sessiona? *

  Hello

  Well, you should try to activate the rights for the TACSPROP.exe.
  To do this, you must enter the operating system as an administrator.
  Choose the application, right click. There is a Security tab. Here, you need to activate the permissions for all users.

• Windows on Satellite M40-276 - no visible HARD drive installation

  Hello

  Since the end of the week, I had time to start my Toshiba Satellite M40-276 (PSM44E)...

  I installed Windows XP Pro, I don't remember installing any kind of SATA/PATA drivers, but unfortunately Windows Setup does not recognize the hard drive installed, which was never changed.

  Now, I have discovered that the hard disk sometimes does not appear in the BIOS?
  Is there any type of driver that I can download and include in a Windows installation CD?

  When I start the laptop with Knoppix 5.1.1 I can copy and access to all files on NTFS formatted disks, the hard drive itself should be well (im checking with HDD Regenerator v1.51 on a Boot CD for the moment).

  And I have another question - y at - it an update of the BIOS for the Satellite M40-276 (PSM44E) which can be flashed on a boot CD? On the official homepage I can only find the update of the BIOS Windows :(

  Thanks for your patience...

  Best regards

  Robert of Austria

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall the OS from the Toshiba restore CD? Or did you use the clean Windows XP CD?

  AFAIK the M40 supports a SATA HDD and the laptop was equipped with a SATA HDD controller.
  Windows XP with SP2 should recognize the HARD disk properly.
  If your XP doesn t contains SP2 and include it using the program nLite

  > And I have another question - y at - it an update of the BIOS for the Satellite M40-276 (PSM44E) which can be flashed on a boot CD? On the official homepage, I can only find the Windows BIOS update

  No, only the win-version of the BIOS is available on the Toshiba page!
