• Satellite M40 - SD card stuck in the SD card reader

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite M40 and today I had the bad idea to use the Toshiba SD card reader.

  I inserted the card into the slot and he's going to profoundly inside. Try to get only back further by pushing.

  Now the cards is aprox. 2cm inside the slot and there is no way to get it out.

  This must be a joke. Please tell me where the secret button should get out of this card here. I let it go, really...

  Thank you
  Fritz

  Hello

  As much as I know Satellite M40 has no SD card but media slot and it supports various media cards. Of course, you can not use all the cards available on the market but only supported formats.

  Zim wrote very good explanation of how it works. Of course, with compatible cards only. Issue described can't happen with a SD card. It is too big and may not come 2 cm inside the slot.

  I'm afraid that you have used the mini SD card. Am I right about that?
  This card cannot be used without an appropriate adapter.

  Bad thing is there is no secret button. :(

• Re: Satellite U400 - LAN card are not not in Device Manager

  Hello

  I never used to connect to the local network via an ethernet cable on my laptop because I aways used a wireless connection.

  Today I plugged in the ethernet cable and windows were not detected. And when I open the login window, there is only PAN connection bluetooth and Wi - Fi
  ([see photo | http://img15.imageshack.us/i/digitalizovaq.jpg/])

  So, I thought that the pilot was missing. Then I reinstalled the drivers from the website of Toshiba for LAN. drivers do not have helped me.
  When I look in Device Manager, I can not find my LAN card. It does not appear there. Only bluetooth PAN network card and wireless network card.
  ([see photo | http://img18.imageshack.us/i/digitalizova.jpg/])

  Any ideas how to fix?

  Hello!

  I don't know m but on some BIOS you can enable/disable the network adapter. Did you check that?
  In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS. Maybe it works.

  And have you ever tried a BIOS update? You can find it on the Toshiba site.

  In the worst case, it s a hardware malfunction of the NIC or motherboard and must be replaced :(

  Hello!

  What laptop Satellite you have exactly?

  As far as I know, this device was shipped with Marvell based PC Express I / F LAN (I / F Marvell chip at base of PC Express I / F)
  Well, you can try glasses a bit. You might find a driver for Linux.

  In addition, the Fedora Core 4 is based on a Red Hat Linux distribution. So I recommend you to visit this site:

• Satellite M40-136: network card is damage

  Hello

  I have a satellite M40-136, which is a little more than 2 years. I have cable broadband installed and this had led me to discover that I have a problem with my network card (a Marvell Yukon map I think).

  I had guys on the network at work to check the laptop and they say either the network adapter connection is loose or the card is damaged.
  I rang one of their guys said tech that I need a new main board because the network cards are integrated on all laptops and PC WORLD.

  Is this correct? If it is then it will cost an arm and a leg to fix it.

  Nicky

  Well, that's good.
  Map of LAN (RJ45) is soldered on the motherboard.
  Perhaps an independent technician with experience might be able to solve this problem, but in general, the motherboard should be replaced.

  The motherboard is one of the expensive parts and you are right; the new Council is costing a fortune

• Satellite M40X - 250 LAN card does not work

  Hello

  I have a portable Satellite M40X-250. For 3 days I couldn't connect to my router. LAN card is Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC I also installed Linux OS and he did. I use Win XP Pro.
  -J' have also installed new driver for the network card.
  -The firewall is disabled

  Can someone help me...

  Hi Erguder

  First of all, you must enter the Device Manager and check if there is a yellow exclamation point.
  If not, then I guess that the LAN driver has been installed successfully and that there must be another reason the failure of LAN.

  Please then check the properties of LAN. In the? General? tab you will find installed protocols. Please choose the TCP/IP Protocol and click Properties.
  All parameters (IP, DNS, getway, etc.) must be set on automatically.

  The other possibility is that there is something wrong with the router. Try to reset the router and check the settings.

• 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.

• Can satellite M40-231 - I upgrade the GPU (graphics card)?

  Hi all

  My Satellite M40-231 has an ATI Mobility Radeon X 600 SE and I would like to upgrade to deal with the demands of today's games, but also a new HARD drive, but the latter, I think that I can go as far as the 120 GB HARD drive.

  SUGESTIONS are welcome.

  TKS

  Sorry, buddy, but this is not possible!
  There are several discussions about upgrading the GPU on mobile phones and all the threads said the same thing that's not possible.

  The point is that most graphic cards chips are outside the motherboard and cannot be deleted.
  You must understand that technology for portable computers is not the same thing as the technology of desktop PCs and more upgrades are not possible.

  Which could be upgraded are the memory modules and HARD drive.

  See you soon

• How to disable the sound card in BIOS - Satellite M40?

  Hello everyone,
  I can't find "Pref. material" in the BIOS to disable a sound card on my Satellite M40-289. Please, step by step help?

  Hello

  As far as I know the unit has a phoenix BIOS. Am I wrong?
  I don t think you will be able to disable the sound card functions in the BIOS.
  If you want to disable the sound card so do it in Device Manager.

  But I have a question. Why it is so important for you to disable the sound card?

• 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:
