• Satellite M40 - start and stop issue

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop Satellite M40 on stop to the low process sometimes also on windows start and I think it's BIOS associates.

  When I start my laptop, sometimes (not always) I get an error message in a blue screen saying that my BIOS is not fully ACPI-compatible... I reboot, and if I wait a while, the system boots normally, but if I just restart immediately, he'll get the same message.
  It happens sometimes that the computer goes further opening in the black screen message: contact tomorrow: toshiba

  The other problem, I don't know if it of related or not, is that the computer is not shut down or restart. I have to do it by pressing the button for a while. I thought it was an application that I had in my system that was the cause, but I have just formatted the hard drive and the same mistakes are still ongoing...

  When it stops, it stops right on the message: 'Windows is shutting down... ". »

  I updated my BIOS with the new available for download here to toshiba support, and I think it was the trigger for all these problems... now I don't know how to go back, or even if it's the reason.
  I really hope someone here can help me, because I just wanted all the information related to the internet without success.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Satellite M40 is well-known for me because one of my friends has one at home. Laptop very nice.

  So, what can I say? It's really not easy to say what the problem is here, but if you use Windows XP Home edition for a long time, it can happen that one day to happen strange things. I believe that no one here can say with certainty what the problem with your machine.

  If possible, you should clean OS installation using recovery media delivered. After doing this, you should see what is happening. In this case, no one can say that there are programs that have bad influence on the execution of the operating system.

• Low beginning on Satellite M40-145 after changing the 160 GB HARD drive

  Hello

  I own a Satellite M40-145 since 2005. After more than two years without any problem, two weeks ago the 80 GB hard drive to the original address has been damaged. So I had to replace it with a new, 160 GB (this replacement was made in a store because it's out of warranty).

  I used successfully on the new HARD drive recovery CD to install Windows XP and all the drivers (just as when it was new).
  I used Partition Magic to create a partition of D for data. Also, I installed Office 2003, Norton 360 and connected to the Internet.
  It worked quickly with only small problems than perhaps with little patience I could fix: as this Bluetooth hardware is not detected and the wireless switch began with the lights off even being in the position we (it worked with new just switching out-lit again). But suddenly, after only one day of use, Windows starts became very slow. It takes about 4-5 minutes until it is possible to use the laptop.

  Now, I tried many possibilities to solve the problem, but always ending on the same problem: I used the recovery CD again and try to use the computer with or without updates (I thought that maybe the problem was due to a bad update), with and without Internet access, etc.
  I also tried in vain the program Microsoft Bootvis to try to speed up the startup, etc.

  I even created an image with Acronis to only with XP and Office running fast, so that I could install it again and try new things.
  I also tried to clean the registry with various programs like CCleaner, TuneUp 2008
  Also the defrag JKDefrag and PageDefrag. But always returning to the same problem after a few days of good conduct.

  I don't know what else I could do. I wonder if maybe the new HD is damaged (although I test and no error or no damage was detected) or if the update BIOS might resolve this problem (I'm not and that's a big risk).

  Please, could someone help me?
  Thank you very much for your attention.
  Pablo

  In my view, that there is nothing wrong with the software or all drivers on you laptop.
  I think the key is the enormous size of the HARD drive.

  The difference between 80 and 160 GB is huge.

  To my knowledge, the BIOS supports a limit on the size of HARD drive and I really wonder why the 160 GB HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS.

  However, I think you should test a 100 GB, 120 GB HDD if the same question perhaps if poster using a HDD a size smaller.

  Best regards

• Satellite U400-128 does not start after hibernation

  Hello

  I currently have problems with my Toshiba laptop. I use it for internet, games, multimedia, programming... Yesterday, when I went to bed, I close the lid that does the same thing as usual--went to hibernation. But today when I tried to start the following things Notepad occur:

  1. If battery is in and laptop is plugged into AC - Laptop starts but after 1-2 seconds it stops again
  2. If the battery is out and the laptop is plugged into AC - same thing
  3. If battery is in and laptop don't is NOT plugged AC - computer laptop starts but nothing is displayed on the screen (it's not far, it looks like even a wink or something). Strange thing is that I can't turn off the laptop and then pressing the power button / stop. The only way is to take out the battery.

  The lights seem to work - well they are the right things.

  THX in advance for any guy advice;).

  Hello!

  It's strange and looks like a hardware malfunction.

  In your case, I'll try to remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait up to an hour and then put in the battery again und plug in the AC adapter. Try it and maybe it works.

  In the worst cases, you must go to a local ASP and ask a technician for help laptop.

• Satellite P205D freeze after hibernation/standby in Win7

  Hello

  Satellite P205D my daughter has just been upgraded to Windows 7. fine, except that now, it freezes shortly after the resumption from standby or hibernation. Minidumps just point to a "hardware". We executed the installed Toshiba installation software (it was a 'clean' installation), value added package, and updated the BIOS and 1.7.
  Any ideas what could be casuing the problem? -J' I assumed it was a suspended driver, but would have thought that they would have to day now.

  The only thing showing a problem in device manager is a (probably from a USB stick) USB mass storage controller, but that the deactivation has no effect.
  Thank you

  To be honest on this virtual path, it is not possible to provide the exact diagnosis. We don t know what you did exactly, which drivers, tools and utilities installed and install the who do you follow.

  Can you maybe provide more description on the OS version, driver installation, installation of additional software or anything else that can help a better understanding?
  Some external device is connected to your laptop, run some additional software?
  What it looks like in Device Manager? Everything has been installed correctly?

  Hello

  a little something to bring your machine to life:

  Disconnect the battery and the power adapter of your machine and wait an hour. Then, plug in everything and try to start the machine. It should work. If not, repeat the steps and wait a little longer.

  If the machine works, making first a biosupdate because sometimes a newer bios solves these problems of hibernation...

  You can download the most recent bios here:

  Would appreciate some feedback from you

• SP6100 does not start after hibernation

  Hi, I'm in trouble. We have here a SP6100 which went into hibernation.
  Now we are unable to bring it back to live. When you press the power button, only the far left led flashes orange.
  Even pressing the power on button for 10 sekonds does not stop, start or do ANYTHING.
  The screen remains black, no logo or anything like it either appears.
  As I am in the middle of nowhere (Sierra Leone) with the next Center about 4000 km (not no joke), I have to solve it myself. What would - they in a repair center? I'm known in technical terms. So I can just unscrew if necessary. Where should I start?
  Any help welcome!
  How to remove battery from the bios clock? Where is that?

  Hello

  Can you please tell me if this blinking is consistent and uninterrupted or there is some sort of Morse code (orange flashing)?

  If there is an excessive flashing there may be some malfunction of the equipment. If the power supply microcontroller detects an error lamp DC IN sends a blink code.

• Satellite A100 hangs after hibernation / suspension

  Hello

  I have a new A100 with Vista installed. Everything works fine, but there are two REALLY boring problems.

  1. after the suspension or wintering, Vista often hangs when you try to connect to internet/network. I know it's a question that I've seen other people writing similar things on other sites. Y at - it a cure?

  2. When blocking down after using the net, I am often a message that Adobe Reader has a lot of open pages and I can't stop.

  Thanks for your time.

  Hello

  Vista often hangs when you try to connect to internet/network
  (1.) you want to tell the WLan or LAN?
  It's not easy to offer the solution in this case believe me Dimitri. Test and Binder are what you could do, what version of BIOS do you use? Check if the new version is available on the Toshiba page. Sometimes, the update of the BIOS might help.
  Further, you can try to disable the option in energy-saving Wlan/Lan Card properties and try to update the drivers.

  2.) this only happens on my laptop 2 different. But I don t use the Vista but XP.
  From time to time I m not able to stop because a message appears saying: Adobe acrobat reader runs in the background and can not close.
  In this case, you can try to reinstall the software Adobe reader and try to clean the registry with an application of part 3.
  Additional you may stop loading the acrobat reader at the beginning. Simply remove the entry from the registry RUN acrobat reader

• Satellite M40-184 and noise problem

  I bought two days ago, this laptop and I already found two problems. The first is that always before the speakers seem to start working a strange noise (ICT) and it is very annoying for me. Is there a problem with the speakers.

  The second problem is that when I use the laptop for more than two hours the AC adapter also makes a very annoying noise. He is also very strong (more strong that fans or anything else). Is it normal to do what noise?

  Thank you

  Hi Manos,

  I'm not sure of the sound from your speakers, normally I wait till they're totally calm, unless a job is running that use.

  Regarding your power adapter, should make any noise at all. It can become hot for what is quite normal. I would recommend the adapter/notebook back to your provider as soon as possible.

  Kind regards

• 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!

• Backlight is disabled until the power management software is loaded on the Satellite M40 - 295

  Greetings to all members of the forum.

  I am owner of ten months a Satellite M40-295. My problem is the following:

  When I start my computer the backlight is disabled until I go into Windows and the power management program is loaded.
  After that the backlight of the screen lights up. I tried to change the brightness with Fn-F6/7 and screens using Fn + F5 without success.

  Init information (init messages, such as the Toshiba and Windows logo) appears on the screen (I checked it under the intense light and the screen from another angle of view), so the adapter seems to work properly.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Evangelos

  I'm afraid that now, you have a problem. If the unit won't start the BIOS chip is probably damaged. In my opinion BIOS update was bad idea.

  Right now I don't want write something on the screen because now it is not important at all. Please contact the customer Service of your country partner and let check the device. Sorry, but I'm 99.9% that the unit is now completely screwed.

  If the appliance shows any sign of life is the case for the service. :(

• Satellite M40: Errors graphics when you change the screen resolution

  Hello
  I have a Satellite M40 and a big problem.

  Windows xp pro sp2:
  When a program changes the resolution of the screen, the screen is messed up.
  I see only scratches and only a reboot can run back (or suspend-to-disk).

  [edit]
  I plugged an external monitor to the laptop and it works,
  the laptop screen is full of lines and the 2nd monitor shows what the laptop screen should normally display also
  [/ Edit]

  Linux:
  This can be seen also at the change of the Xwindows mode in linux back to tty(1-6)

  Here are some pictures of this strange behavior:

  It looks like a hardware problem, but would it be just a bad bios setting?

  What can I do?

  Goodbye and thank you in advance, Ronny

  Hello

  There may be something wrong with the screen of laptop computers.
  I guess that the graphics card is ok because the external screen works properly.

  But it s very interesting to know if you are using the graphics driver from Toshiba. If this isn't the case, please check if this problem also appears after installation of the graphics driver from the Toshiba driver page.

• When changing the 80 GB to 40 GB HARD drive, Satellite M40 does not recognize the drive

  Hi all

  Thanks for coming in! :)
  I recently source two-disc 40GB 2.5 "IDE and intended to run one of them in my Satellite M40.

  The problem starts here:

  (1) I took the original 80 GB hard drive & install the 40 GB hard drive
  (2) start and put in the Toshiba M40 recovery disk
  (3) display screen 'Y' for recovery blah blah blah thing...
  (4) then the screen shows 'cannot be installed because no hard drive found ".
  (5) I boot in the BIOS using F2-> F1, page 2 shows no hard drive

  (6) I try to use my own CD of Windows XP Pro, same thing (as in no hard drive found)
  (7) and the BIOS too show no hard drive found

  The two disk 40 GB is out of mobile work and they formatted it, partition deleted with NOTHING on it. They have also been tested on other PCs (using the converter) using WXP. Two of them work very well!

  Now, the weird thing is that I just can't make it work at least in the Sat - M40. Why is this? Toshiba locked the M40 being one Toshiba-disc is usable?
  Is there a place to get through it? Hidden BIOS?

  I have fixed a large number of PCs, but I can't with this, Please HELP...
  Any response would be appreciated, thanks! :)

  Hello

  The M40 should be able to use 40 GB hard drives with no problems.
  But you must use hard drives with the right interface.
  To my knowledge the M40 supports hard drives with an interface IDE (ATA-6).

  So be sure that your 40 GB HARD drive supports it.

  By the way; Check if your HARD drive supports the good master or slave definition.

• Satellite M40: Where the graphical utility to display the WLan?

  I got the Satellite M40 system after some disk problems, but then I couldn't find the graphical tool displays networks wireless in the vicinity.

  I searched among the drivers in the support page, but there is nothing that I could use. I would appreciate if someone had a direction where search - I don't know the name.

  I also have the original Toshiba recovery disks.

  Hello

  For WLAN and WIFI configuration you can use the Windows settings. In this case, under connection WLAN properties, you will find an option called display the icon in the tray... when it is connected you can see a small symbol shows the power of the signal.

  While you can do if you use the Intel wireless client. If you n t have one that I recommend you visit the Toshiba WLAN website under http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/

  You can find the most recent driver for your WLAN card including customer Intel wireless that allows you full control of your home network. Install this client and you'll get what you want.

  Good bye
