• Satellite L850-E8S - shutdown problems

  Hello everyone

  I bought Toshiba Satellite L850-E8S with Windows 8.0 (for a single language) preinstalled in October 2013. At the moment I can't get stop normally.

  Question: * pressing Shutdown (stop) of charms goes up "Windows is shutting down" and after that the screen turns off but power light is lit and the fan keeps operate.* I stop it by pressing the power button, I really want to quit smoking. (Once I didn't notice that and put the laptop in a bag for a few hours and it of a miracle that no equipment would have been burnt, despite the laptop was hot like the Sun) * the problem started after a month of use, and I didn't think her yet.*

  First of all, I thought that the case concerns him * hybrid Shutdown in the Win8. I have visited many forums dedicated for hybrid stop, proven fruitless discussions. *! AND! I had the same problem on my laptop with a slight difference - loading Win7 and Linux * the monitor stays on (with the lights and the fan on either). *
  Moreover, I also saw a BSOD after a day I bought the laptop. This problem concerned Realtek Audio driver and SRS Premium sound. As I understood the question is drivers conflict. Right now I have no installed Audio SRS premium and see no BSOD, but Realtek audio driver is not stable: the sound either begins to work in a few minutes after starting windows or it does'nt work at all.

  First of all, I wish really that someone to help me with the shutdown problem. All tips are welcome.

• 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.

  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!

• Satellite Pro A300 - shutdown problem

  I have a brand new Satellite Pro A300-15V, which I lowered the score of Vista professional to XP Professional, using the original recovery disk.
  Now I have problem close to the bottom of the computer. When I click on "Turn Off" it just stops and restarts after a minute or two. Also, I can't bring back from hibernation unless I stopped him on the button first.

  Can anyone help, pls?

  Hello

  What model Satellite Pro A300 do you have exactly?
  I m not sure, but in my opinion, it looks like a BIOS issue.
  I think the BIOS update should help you resolve this strange issue.

  Visit the page of European diver from Toshiba for the update to the newest BIOS;

• 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.

• 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.

• 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:

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

• 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.

• Satellite M40-133: problem starting after a stop

  When my Satellite M40 - 133 EN if I start it again all that I get is the Toshiba welcome screen.
  If it is left for a while it will start as usual. When executing it is quite hot.

  Help, please.

  To me, this looks like a problem with overheating.
  It seems that the laptop can not start and start properly due to high internal temperature.

  The main reason why an overheating problem is very simple.
  Don t cooling modules work correctly. In my view, that dust and debris prevent cooling with maximum performance running fans.

  Simply cleaning fan should help you.
  From time to time, I clean my fans too. I use a jet of compressed air. These sprays are very useful to get rid of dust and most computer/computer laptop dealers offer these sprays.

  If it will not improve the situation, then a mobile technician needs to disassemble the laptop and recommended to clean properly. In addition, it should renew the thermal grease that is placed between the CPU and the cooling module, too.

  Good luck

• Satellite M40-237: CD Boot does not not + is possible startup USB key drive

  * Model: Satellite M40-237 (PSM40E) *.

  I decided to reinstall windows, my hard drive is now formatted. So as usual, boot from the Windows CD is necessary to start the instalation but it does not start. I never had problems like this, always worked boot. It's as if there is no bootable CD in the drive (but it is bootable and it works on another PC).

  -J' have the latest version of the BIOS
  -The BIOS detects the optical drive and everything is ok, HARD is the ODD main drive is secondary
  -J' tried selecting the boot priority, with F12 and/or the BIOS setting but it works anyway

  What could be the problem here? Drive does not properly (hopefully, that and not something worse)? I had some problems with the drive I have (...) before, but it reads the disc normally and as I said start was working fine before. I cleaned the lens a bit, disconnected it and it put. Is there something more, what can I do?

  I'll try to find someone who has the player that fits so I can try with that one, but who knows when is what will be.

  Now, here's the second question, which I've linked to this. Because my laptop is practically useless now (I can't install anything), is it possible to boot from a:
  (a) optical drive USB external
  (b) USB flash drive

  BIOS on this laptop has no USB boot option, it has HARD drive / CD / floppy / network. But I red somewhere this FDD = USB legacy emulation is enabled.

  If that is correct, I should just plug in the USB key and select FDD as boot option? If I can't find a USB optical drive, I thought make it bootable USB flash drive and copy the installation of windows xp on it. So once it starts in DOS I start just the installer from the key.

  TNX

  First I must say that the initialization of memory flash USB (USB key) is not possible and you shouldn't t waste time to try this.

  With regard to your reader of CD/DVD boot problem
  Well, it s really strange, it sounds a bit like a sort of master/slave/c-salt settings problem. But generally, you should get an error IDE (#0 or #1) if one of the devices (ODD or HARD disk) would not be recognized?  :|
  This whole thing seems mysteriously
  There may be a firmware issue

  Several months ago a friend of mine was not able to boot from the CD.
  He went into the BIOS and set the BIOS default settings.
  This has contributed to

  This is a suggestion, but I'm really putting t know if it helps.

• Problem with heat on initialize to top with Satellite M40

  Hello group,

  I have a question, when my laptop Satellite M40 warm up and I tried to restart the display changes to 2/3 and lock-up. Then I have to press the power button to stop the process and expect that the laptop cools a bit. I have them push the button power and Windows works fine. What is happening and what should be replaced or added software.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  I'm not a technician but I can say with certainty that described issue has nothing to do with the software and may not be resolved this way. Problem described is certainly caused by the material. It may be the graphics card itself or a faulty capacitor on the motherboard.

  Technician sorry but only help you and give an exact explanation. All this can be tested with special diagnostic tools.
