• Satellite M40-need a drivers

  Hello @ all!
  First of all, I apologise for my bad English :-) [I am German]
  Because I had a lot of crashes, I decided to format it and install Win XP. Now it works very well, but sometimes it starts up or turn off after a few seconds. Well, now I have another problem, I have all the drivers and so I can not use the network, etc. It is very bad, because I can't find them. I found the BIOS and Sound - drivers/updates...
  Can you help me please? Maybe they are small problems, but I don't know what to do :-(

  Hi Timo,

  You re - install your XP system from Toshiba recovery disks? If so, you should have all the drivers available pre-installed. Everything you want to update later you should be able to download from the site Web of Toshiba.

  > 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

• Need info on satellite M40 - YP3 motherborad

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite M40 - YP3 (PSM40C-YP300E) that does everything it s supposed to do, except on the screen. A repairman told me that the graphics card is not good and because it is part of the motherboard, the motherboard should be replaced.

  The motherboard is a # V000051800. Is there another model Toshiba that will use the same motherboard, or screen of this model is compatible with another model?

  I would like to get another card compatible mother for this computer or take the pieces out of this computer and put them on another.

  Thanks in advance.

  No, you must use the motherboard that has been designed especially for the laptop M40 and other motherboards from other portable will not correspond with the case of laptops and will be not compatible.

  If you need a laptop stronger with more graphic power of card then buy a new

  What BIOS I need a model of Satellite M40 PSM40E with ATI Radeon and Intel Chipset graphics card?
  Thank you

  Hi Giorgi,

  I think the latest BIOS for your M40 with ATI Radeon graphics card, it's the 1.70 version that is available in Windows and traditional format.

  There is a version 2.00, but it's only for the M40 with Intel graphics card.

• Need help with formatting my laptop Satellite M40

  Dear all,

  I have a satellite M40 notebook and when I bought it was running perfectly. Then the sound has deteriorated significantly with the Harman / Kardon speakers without drastically.
  Then, the speed of the applications has deteriorated in opening. Then I could not use my DVD RW drive to back up my data. In my opinion, happened after I tried to install a software that may be in conflict with the existing drivers.

  Finally, I decided to format the laptop and start over. With my original purchase came three CD: DVD - ROM Recovery DVD-ROM, Express Media Player Recovery CD and additional software.

  I tried the first two CDs, hoping that the laptop start automatically on their part, and then everything will be fine. Unfortunately, nothing has happened.

  Help, please. How can I format this machine and resume my busy days at the office.

  See you soon

  Hello George

  For the installation of an operating system, you need to RECOVERY DVD. Put in the DVD player, turn on the unit and press the C key on the keyboard. Keep it down for a short period and the procedure of the facilities will begin.

  If you want to preinstall the unit I recommend you create two partitions using facilities expert mode. Check it please this subject http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=4462&messageID=14518#14518

  There is step by step explanation. If you want to use the Express media player again once it must be installed first before using recovery DVDs. The procedure is the same (press the C key).

  Good bye

• Satellite M40 - update the BIOS

  Hello

  I need an update of the BIOS not corrupted for a Satellite M40 PSM40 ATI chipset.

  Windows XP based wife M40 was a behavior more oddly for some time. Just weird crashes, does not software, etc. Seems to pass all the diagnostics, all OS/applications software is patched the current versions and analysis we all antivirus programs up-to-date and clean.

  So, I thought I'd try updating the BIOS and other related stuff. It was about two months ago... When I discovered I couldn't download this shit, or anything else, on the Toshiba site. Despite calls telephone etc. told me ' just keep trying... and try... and so, you get the picture!

  Then last weekend I tried downloading one of my Windows 2000/IE6 based PC and was surprised to find that they worked. I had previously used my Vista Home Premium 32/IE7 based PC, which I think was the source of my misery for so long to download...

  Anyway... tried unpacking the BIOS tonight only to be told that he is corrupt or not a zip file. Tried to download again, same results. Have you tried unpacking on three different PC - XP, Vista, and Windows 2000, all with the same result.

  Help please?

  See you soon
  Peter

  I can't believe that I downloaded the BIOS for the M40 (1.70) and I was able to unpack this package, so I guess that something was wrong during the download process.

  I think you know what could be my advice ;) try again

  Good luck

  Hi majed_m_j,

  > When I try to update the program to my laptop on my account in the Web from Toshiba site
  To be honest I m a bit confused. Which account you average and where you try to download updates?

  On your external HARD drive: you get a blue screen, it's just?
  Well, have you tested the disk external DRIVE on another computer? If this is not the case, this!

• Satellite M40: BIOS update failure is covered by the warranty?

  Hello

  I own a satellite M40. I had some problem with it, and tried to update the bios to see if he could he solved.
  I flashed the bios with the windows-based utility, but the shutted of the computer down without any warning.

• 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! :)

• 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!

• 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?

• Which adapter AC can I use with my Satellite M40 - 307?

  My dog ate my Satellite M40-307 cable (unfortunately he survived), I want (NEED) a replacement. The Toshiba web site lists the replacement as an adapter 15 - 17V, where clearly the adapter provided with my PC is a 19V adapter. The rear of the machine also lists a DC 19V - 3. 42 power needs.

  Can anyone help?

  You are right. You need power adapter 19V. To be a little more precisely, you need AC adapter / CC and without PA3396E-1ACA PA3396U-1ACA part number.
