• 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.

• 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!
  : o).

  > 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

• Satellite M40 - problem USB

  Hello

  I am the owner of a Satellite M40-129 and it seems, I have problems with USB.

  When I stopped the WinXP system, I think that it is in English, hibernate mode and try to restart, I get a blue screen with the text and with a failure message, the file "usbport.sys" caused the crash.
  In addition, I use all three usb ports. On, I use a USB 2.0 on the other Hub usb hub 1.1 and the mouse directly on the third port. Since a few days, I installed a printer multifunction Brother on the USB 2.0 hub, but from the beginning of the system, I can't connect to the internet, because I always get a new failure message, that the (Allied Telesyn AT AR215) DSL modem is already in use or another usb device is improperly installed. To solve the problem, I tried almost all the positions of USB port for both devices and I de - and reinstalled the two train several times. But in addition, I have updated the BIOS yesterday, but without success. No, I use either only the internet with disconneted printer or the printer does not have access to the internet until you restart without connected printer.

  I hope someone can help.
  Thank you
  Thomas

  HI Thomas

  Sorry, but it is not easy to give you a good explanation. As far as I know a few other components materials don t support hibernation procedure. The problem is that if the unit goes into hibernation mode every process must be stopped and some of them cannot be stopped on the easy way and stop correctly but forced to shut down. I'm sure that your device goes into hibernation correctly mode if there is no external device. Am I wrong?

  Try to remove all external devices and after that, go to the Device Manager. Remove the USB ports and restart the device. After a reboot all components will be recognized and installed correctly. Check if the modem works correctly if there are no other USB devices connected to the laptop.

• 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.

  You need more instructions?

  After a problem with my DCOM Server process Launcher I find completely my laptop, not I can recognoise our network but cannot use internet or access files, after a friend recommended I update my Atheros wireless driver I did, but it has not changed anything.

  How to boot from usb?

  Hi esc.

  I think that you have answered the question yourself because you've posted all the startup options that are available and there is no option to boot USB on this laptop.

  All you can do is to install the latest BIOS, but as far as I know Satellite M40 can t boot from USB!

• 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.

• Satellite M40: USB Audio does not work properly in ACPI mode

  Hi all
  I just bought a laptop Satellite M40 whose purpose is to be used as a portable audio system.
  For this, the USB audio devices are an excellent solution.

  Unfortunately, although it was working properly when recording (sound is perfect with all devices compatible USB Audio, I have tested), there is a problem in reading that I had a lot of clicks and POPs.

  After a lot of research trying and google, I solved the problem by changing the computer ACPI PC Standard mode.
  This is a workaround.

  But this way, I don't remember what my status of battery, and my laptop does not shut down automatically.
  Actually, my laptop is no longer run as a laptop :(

  I suspect a very serious problem in a Toshiba components management. In particular, I wouldn't be surprised to be told that freeze the cords of some regular system of court management, and therefore the 10ms buffers audio USB fall in against the recess.

  This would be so much bother me if I were not part of the technical support team of the company that launches also a few new audio USB products who will not fail to work correctly with laptops.

  My question is:
  Is there a driver / updating bios that gets rid of this problem?
  If a person of Toshiba technical support to address this issue directly with me, I'd be happy to help, as I am personally and professionally concerned.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I put t know what USB audio device you use, but most of the USB audio devices cannot use the USB power. These devices have need of an external power supply of A.C and especially this external power supplies are delivered with the USB audio device.

  Also, I read on some sites that the pop occurs sometimes due to non synchronicity of the modules different buffers or / and of the use of certain applications in parallel.

  The computer ACPI PC Standard mode change is one of the many solutions and proposals
  You can check some patches from Microsoft. Check if all updates from Microsoft are installed.
  Also change the performance options in the options of the system to adjust for best performance.
  Disable Windows messenger.
  Virtual memory should be set to custom size and initial size and maximum size must has the same value (ie. 512/512)
  In the system.ini should the vcache is also the same: MinFileCache = 16384, MaxFileCache = 16384
  Disable the peripherals such as scanner, printer.

  As you can see, these issues could occur on all computers (desktop and laptop) and it s is not a problem of Toshiba. Also, contact the manufacturer for support external audio device and detailed information.

  Good luck

• Satellite M40 - 244--> Boot from a USB

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite m40-244 with a DVD player which unfortunately is out of service.

  I would like to know if it is possible to boot from a USB key to reinstall Windows or Linux. In the BIOS there only HDD, floppy, CD-ROM, and LAN drive options.

  Does anyone know how to boot from a USB? I tried an external USB DVD drive, it does not work. I don't know if I'm doing the right way.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  As far as I know that of not possible because the M40 BIOS does not support this!
  As you mentioned in your ad; There is only one option for booting from the HARD drive, ODD, LAN and USB FDD (floppy)

• Question about updating BIOS for my Satellite M40

  So, my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Support suggested me to update my Bios.
  OK, given that the last time, it was easy.

  I downloaded the newsest version vor my Satellite M40 (PSM40) (1, 70 - WIN<= i="" have="" an="" ati="" grafics="" card)="" and="" extracted="" the="" bios-20070709161345.zip="">
  But there was a surprise:
  Instead of getting the old data structure, as written in the FAQ update Bios
  1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
  2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"

  I get a file only: BIOS of Windows Knockhill10GV170.exe
  Extraction of it I get 8 files:
  -fdbase.img
  -InsydeFlash.exe
  -iscflash.dll
  -iscflash.vxd
  -KPM170. ROM
  -Platform.ini
  -The c:\windows\system32\unicows.dll

  Now my question: How can I create this bootable CD-ROM to update my Bios?

  Just to know: download all the other things are done on my desktop from my laptop is not starting ;)
  I also tried to run the exe in the hope that it will create a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, but it is written "basic cfg address not found."

  Hello

  Update the BIOS there are two ways to do this:
  -Traditional mode (TRAD) and in this case, you need floppy
  -Windows (WIN) and this update can be done under operating system running.

  Update BIOS WIN will work if you run Windows on your laptop satellite. If I understand your assignment well you are trying to do traditional BIOS updated, but using the BIOS to WIN update. On the Toshiba download page, there are two listed BIOS updates and two of them as versions of WIN. This means that you can update the BIOS under operating system only.

  Back to your problem: in the history one thing confuses me when you write: my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Sorry, but if the recovery procedure is working and you will have clean installed OS.

  Be a little more concrete in our laptop does not start. What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?

• Satellite M40 - 114 bluetooth systemboard question

  Hi all

  I have question regardin my bluetooth and the motherboard.

  Center of Service Toshiba has replaced the motherboard in my laptop.
  I can't turn on my bluetooth for the replacement of the motherboard. FN + F8 doesn't work and bluetooth stack reports ' bluetooth device is not ready ". reinstalled XP via orginal Toshiba CD-ROM. But does not help.

  I discovered something strange, is that in the software sis sandra 2005, my laptop is reconignezed by satellite A40 PSA40U. They replace the motherboard with an old model? This could be the reason why the bleutooth no longer works?

  Your help/advice is necessary. Thanks in advance

  Hi phyl

  As much as I know Satellite M40-114 doesn't have Bluetooth and I can't understand this before the replacement of the Board of Directors the Bluetooth system was on board. I know that the M40-193 has a Bluetooth.
  Please check this topic http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=5071. There is an interesting discussion on the M40 and Bluetooth.

• Satellite M40 is Bootable from USB?

  Hello

  Model: Satellite M40-200 (psm40e)

  There seems to be no obvious way to boot from USB in the bios. Did I miss something?

  The closest is "USB - FDD Legacy Emulation", but that seems doing nothing when a USB device is installed.

  See you soon

  Marcus

  What USB device say you exactly? USB FDD is possible when starting.

• Satellite M40 - question on the BIOS update

  Hello

  I need to update my BIOS to be able to use a new stick of ram to 2 GB. Unfortunately I can't find an update of the specific BIOS on Toshiba website for the 265 M40, WXP with ATI graphics card.
  Which one should I install? M70, M100, 3.00, or 1.70, psm01, psm02...?

  Thank you

  Satellite M40 can grow up to 2 GB of RAM, and to do that you need BIOS update memory vivid but compatible modules.
  Toshiba recommended 2 PC2700 X 1024 MB (PA3313U-2M1G).

  What 2 GB module you want to use?

  That's all!
