• 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.

  -Today I have updated the * BIOS * also, it has not solved anything.

  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.

• Satellite M40 & Atheros ar5005g problem with Atheros client utility

  Hello
  My computer laptop Satellite M40 (PSM44) with adapter minpci wifi Atheros AR5005g have this version of the driver:
  Atheros wlan driver 3.1.2.45i120
  Atheros client utility 3.1.2.45i132.
  This version of the driver supports WPA but not WPA2.

  I upgraded my laptop with 5.3.0.35 atheros wlan driver, but I do recognize no improvement and it still does not support WPA2.
  Now, if I try to run (double-click on) the Atheros Client utility (3.1.2.45i132) the sytem crash (blue screen) and reset.

  How can I support wpa2?
  How can I solve the system failure?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  The unique availability of ciphers of WLan depends on hardware and not software!
  If the WLan card doesn t supports WPA2 you will not be able to use it! Also the WLan card driver or update utility will not help!

  So first of all, check if the hardware (Wlan card) supports this encryption feature!

• How do I start bluetooth on Satellite M40-184

  Hello
  I bought a new Satellite M40 and I found that I have the Bluetooth Manager, but it does not show me the that Bluetooth at all besides it still gives me the message "Bluetooth device is not ready" even when my bluetooth is turned on! Kindly let me know how to solve this problem, as I have been through the whole pages of starting Instructions and possible help, but nothing seems to work. Thanx

  Hello Imran

  It will be interesting to know what unit should be connected to your device (mobile phone, printer). I hope that use you the FN + F8 key combination to activate the Bluetooth connection. If the Bluetooth connection is enabled you can start a wizard and search for other Bluetooth devices.

• Vista on Satellite M40 - 285-> is there any problem?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M40-285, my wish is to install Vista on it, I know about pcmcia issues that lock boot Vista and solve their pcmcia.sys file renaming, but this does not solve the problem really, pcmcia slot and card reader didn't work.

  So I would like to know if Toshiba will launch a driver for Vista, or, everyone has solved this problem with any tip where Vista starts normally and pcmcia works fine?

  Thank you
  Kind regards.

  Toshiba M40 satellite will certainly not throw all Vista drivers or tools. This device is not Vista capable and there is no support for Vista. If you want to test with Vista create the second partition and try to install Vista on it. I did the same thing on my Vista not supported by Satellite M70.

• 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

  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.

• PCMCIA.sys problem with Vista on Satellite M40 135

  Hello

  (Sorry for my English)
  I tried to install Windows Vista on my Satellite M40-135. (I added the 512 MB of RAM).

  But, like all users, I have the problem with pcmcia.sys. Vista starts successfully when I delete the pcmcia.sys file.
  But I have a problem: I have a PCMCIA TV and I could not use it without the pcmcia.sys file...

  So I was wondering if Toshiba will download the new drivers for Windows Vista... This laptop is 'Vista capable' according to Microsoft System requirements...

  Waiting for your help...

  Unfortunately, it seems that the snipe is right.
  Can the hardware specifications of this laptop allows you to install the Vista
  but it seems that Toshiba has decided to publish no Vista drivers for each series laptop.

  In order to check this document:
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7201SK002HR01.htm

  Not seem that your laptop series is not part of the list

• Problem starting Satellite M40 - windows didn't start up properly

  Satellite M40 running XP Home, an 80 GB HD, 2 partitions, (System on C:, data on D :)

  During bootup, current sector has been disconnected (no battery in the laptop). When I try to start it again, go to the screen (sorry for the "mixed-language french English"...) «windows didn't start properly... Please select 'safe mode', "safe mode with LAN enabled", "BACK Safe Mode", 'last known good configuration' or 'normal startup' (I'm simplifying the content of the screen...).»

  Regardless of the choice that I do, XP starts to run, then I get a blue screen flashes briefly (too fast to be able to read what whatsoever) and the process begins again.

  I can access the BIOS and were able to boot from a CD.
  Thank you anyone give me some guidance as to the possible problem (as well as a possible solution that could avoid having to completely restore the system and... to reinstall all apps)

  Hello

  Seems the BSOD appears and the laptop operating system cannot start as should!
  The BSOD appears especially because of the hardware or software serious malfunction.
  First we need to find if its hardware or software related problem.

  Installation simply from the recovery CD is a simpler way to find out what could be wrong
  You must format the first partition C, where the old operating system has been installed and install the new OS on the C.

• Satellite M40 Wireless 2200BG card: WEP problems?

  I have a satellite M40 with an INTEL Pro/wireless 2200BG Network card.
  I use a wireless LAN via a router. the connection is broken down into periods of time, sometimes for 2 seconds, sometimes half an hour. my phone says company technical support, it is perhaps due to the incompatibility of my network wireless adapter WEP. I use a WEP key/128 bit / hexadecimal... could someone please give me a tip how to configure my WiFi card so that it works continuously.
  I already thank you for any help!

  Hello

  I read a few topics that have been discussed in this similar subject forum with a BG 2200 wireless card and it seems that a new wireless driver update could solve this problem. I recommend to download the driver from the Intel site and install it.
