Satellite M40 - required Mat * a UJ - 831 part number S and how to remove it

Hi all!

I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite M40 especially on the DVD player.

I suspect that this could be the drive is a failure (after 3 years of service?). I intend to replace the drive, but I don't know how to disassemble.

With that, I want to know the REFERENCE NUMBER of my DVD player so that I can replace it. Here's my current system information.

product: Satellite M40
Seller: TOSHIBA
version: PSM40E-08E03EAR

I would appreciate any help on this matter.

Thank you.

Eduardo

Why you need a reference number?
According to your post, the laptop was equipped the carpet * a drive UJ - 831S

In addition, you should find some details about compatible ODD in your user manual.

Last but not least the CD/DVD drive can be removed very easily from the M40.
You must remove the screw at the bottom of the unit. This screw secures the ODD.
As I m not wrong not the keyboard must be removed because under the keyboard, you will find a latch that needs to be pushed too much.
Then the STRANGE should come out.

But note; Don t use any force and ask the computer technician mobile support if you don t have enough experience.

Welcome them

    the next problem is sticky on the laptop Satellite M30X 165 with the burner Mat * a UJ - 831 S: it can read and write CDs, but is not able to write them to DVD or even read some of the ones I've burned and also read in the same drive.

  • 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!

  • Satellite M40: Modem fails the diagnostic test on WinXp Pro

    Satellite M40 comes with Windows XP Home Edition pre installed and when I ran the diagnostic tools to test the modem the modem passes the test. But when I installed Windows XP Professional SP2 media center, the modem fails the diagnostic test.

    What surprises me is that I have not received any error during installation and all devices, including the installed modem OK with no problems.

    Another observation when I tried to connect to the Internet using our dial back of company during installation of Windows XP Edition family's volition I remembered and the modem responds very well. But with Windows XP Professional SP2 media center installed the modem call how ever in "waiting for call-back ', when the server of our company try to call me, the modem does not respond and waits until I get the message Time out

    Please if anyone has an explanation for this decision No. let me know because it is driving my nuts.

    Thank you
    Oumy

    Hello

    Have you tried to install the latest driver of modem? Please check if you have the right driver for Win Xp. You can find the drivers on the Toshiba site.

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    They are a lot of drivers for countries individually.

    In addition, Windows XP SP2 includes the new Windows Firewall. It is possible that the firewall is preventing the modem connection. You can try to disable the Windows Firewall.

  • Satellite M40-256 - error starting by CD

    Hello

    a well known friend has Satellite M40-256, which Windows problem (error during the update and the manipulation of her children).

    It does not have an external Toshiba FDD or ODD. This laptop is also no built-in floppy drive. Buying one for that matter? NO.
    The boot priority has been changed: CD-network-HDD.

    I tried another Toshiba no ODD (in BIOS not mentioned/found) of brand
    The STRANGE original works/boots in another pc (via an adapter) very large.
    I tried several CD/DVD to boot from (error is displayed): moment-Linux such as knoppix, suse and other windows CD, recovery CD,... without success

    Each time the same result: the laptop has a black screen, the STRANGE is accelerating and after about 3 to 5 seconds, windows starts with the black progress bar.

    I also tried to press C to force startup from the CD.
    Some time previously, I had only access to windows in safe mode. But after uninstalling some updates, it ends with a license problem. This problem can be solved only by starting windows cd via cd.

    It has a bios Toshiba 1.00 (interesting, seems old enough).
    I'm trying at the moment to start the network. The Toshiba shows some messages regarding success/failure at startup via the network or a CD?

    Defined execution bit one influence on behavior?
    Does anyone know a solution to windows startup?

    Thanks in advance

    Check the instructions posted by Akuma.

    If it doesn t work I think that the CD/DVD drive is faulty and must be replaced. Contact the nearest ASP that you can find on the Toshiba site and ask for a replacement.
    It of important that you buy a disc that is compatible with the laptop but the ASP that will.

    Good luck!

  • 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.

    Hi Jon

    I'll be honest to you. Satellite M40 is fairly new. Why you n t contact your local dealer or service partner and clarify these issues. The warranty is still valid, and perhaps the reader will be replaced. Here on the forum, you can wait for days for suggestions that will help you a lot.

    One of my friends has the same unit about a year now and it works very well. I liked laptop and I burn DVDs of film sometimes to his unit. So far, there is no problem with him.

  • 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.

    To be honest I m a bit confused. Which account you average and where you try to download updates?
