• Satellite M40 - format and install NO CD from recovery

  Hello
  I need to format the hard drive and install XP Pro SP2 on my Satellite M40 - 239 (pre installed XP HE). How do we install the Express Media Player? Do I need to do before installing with my own XP disks? The Express Media recovery disk reformat the hard disk and let me choose the size of the partition etc.? Or should I first install XP SP2 (not from the recovery disk, it is my own), then the media player? And how do I install all of the tools supplied preinstalled in the factory? On the product recovery disc, it seems there is no installation of software for them, am I stuck with XP it if I want to keep the tools (Bluetooth, ConfigFree etc.)?

  Should at least 150-200 MB of available free space on the HARD drive.
  This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
  To get this space available on party products 3rd HARD drive must be used.

• Satellite M40-285 - CPU overheating after the accident with water

  Hello everyone,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M40-285, and 2 days ago, my girlfriend dumped a cup of tea on the keyboard... The computer turns off after a few seconds. Immediately, I put the laptop upside down and disassembled parts. There was some liquid inside (especially inside the speakers under the keyboard and where is the DVD unit). Other parts (CPU, memory, wireless card, hard drive area) were completely dry. I have it with napkings and dry with a hair dryer (later I read that I shoud never use a hair dryer...).

  The turs laptop on one seems to work fine (only the first screen where it says toshiba remains more than normal long (15 seconds or more) before entering windows). But the problem I have is that the CPU gets overheated and the laptop shuts down after 5-15 minits of use. I'm getting attention via the RightMark utility I said "* Core overheating * ' and the temperature always between 45 - 55 c

  I replaced the thermalgrease but the problem remains. The CPU fan works (I think that the two speeds). The heatsink is very hot after the computer turns off (it burns my fingers if I touch)

  What could be the problem? * Is the processor damaged? Can be a problem in the motherboard? *
  I don't know what to don't know because is not woth the money to send it to the technical service, but I can't buy a new laptop now...

  Hey,.

  I m wondering that the laptop is still ongoing and no more parts are damaged. In addition he s very cool that you could fix it yourself and dry. Many people don t know how ;)

  In any case, if the CPU is overheating it seems that something on the assembly or the cooling fan is damaged and must be replaced. Possibly peut t fan run with the highest speed more, who knows.

  Of course, it is difficult to say what is the cause of the problem, but in your case I would try ordering a new fan and the heatsink too. The two parties shouldn't t be expensive and it seems that you can replace yourself.
  So just contact a service provider allowed in your country to order these parts. They can do this.

  Good luck and feedback would be great, I am interested on this! :)

• Satellite L40 - Wi - Fi connection after restart problem

  Hello

  My sister had a Toshiba Satellite L40 (PSL40E - 04501DDU) and a few days ago I installed a wireless router at home.
  Wi - Fi worked within 2 minutes, but when I restarted the laptop he couldn't find any Wi - Fi networks (whereas before I restarted, I found 4).

  It took me about an hour to make it work again
  -Turn off/on Wi - Fi
  -several reboots
  -deletion of a Wi - Fi connection - configs
  -switching between Vista Wi-Fi-tool and without configuration by Toshiba
  -updated drivers
  -etcetera...

  I don't know which of them did the trick, but after going through all these actions it seemed to work again.
  I thought I had conquered the problem, but only today (after only 1.5 days) my sister contacted me saying that the Wi - Fi 'fell down' again.

  Does anyone know what could be the problem?

  When I look in this forum I see about 1200-forum topics on the problems of Wifi on Toshiba laptops, so I guess it's a recurring problem with several models of Toshiba.
  Most of the subjects also speaks a Wifi works very well and doesn't work anymore after restart/sleep/hibernation.

  Laptop: PSL40E - 04501DDU
  OS: Windows Vista 32-bit (latest updates + latest drivers)

  (Please, no answers like: "is your DHCP on?") or "the router is compatible with the Wi - Fi device?")

  Hi crazysoul,.

  I understand that you don't know the answer to that, because you are not always there when the Wi - Fi fails, but if the laptop is not looking upwards * all * networks, the same as before?

  What WLAN driver version is installed on this laptop? The most recent is 7.6.0.164.1, it can be interesting to update. Also, forgive me if you already checked, but under network adapters Device Manager, find the device wireless and in the Properties window, if there is a power management make tab you unchecked the checkbox to turn off the device to save power.

• Satellite A300 - Win Vista instalation disk missing

  Hello world.

  This is my first time on any forum ever :)

  In August 2008, I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 149. There was a lot of turbulence in our relationship, but we always went by them so far.

  Some time ago I added an additional hard drive just for the system. I did it just to have all important data in the entity. This extra drive decided to die.

  The problem is that there is no more the oryginal disc recovery so I have a laptop, hard drive and the product key for windows, but no instalation windows disk or at least file.

  Can you please help me and tell what should I do now because I can't undo what I've done already :)

  Hello

  Your A300 was delivered with the operating system from Vista preinstalled (recovery image). This recovery image is saved on the HARD disk. Operating manuals s described document that each owner of the laptop must create the installation of recovery disk using pre-installed recovery media creator tool.

  If I understand you right you didn't he create if it is your only error.
  What can you do now?
  You have two options:
  1 / you can order the original recovery disc - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  2 / you can install own OS version

  I have too many A300 and for three years I use it with Windows 7 32 bit. It works perfectly and much better than original Vista.

  In any case, you do need to make the decision. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

• Satellite M40 - 244 sudden stop - cooling/temperature problem?

  Hello everyone!

  For about 1 week, my laptop M40-244 became unable to cool down! Then, of course, more often, it stops suddenly to avoid any damage. I am sure that this problem is triggered out of cooling, simply by touching the left side of the key board it is easy to feel the (high-temperature 8 -

  My QUESTION is: is it possible for me to avoid the repair?

  I'm in Shanghai, I can not expensive toll-free phone and surprisingly that I have not found in the Web from Toshiba site any way to contact a Toshiba support by e-mail (if someone knows a way, please tell me!)

  Because it's very curious: my laptop is '8-month-old', never this kind of problem to date, and Toshiba is well known for a good cooling system. Recently, my laptop did not shock. Would it be possible that the fan has suddenly stopped working well?

  I tried to "verify" my laptop, but the failed to install of Speedfan and Motherboard Monitor 5 seems unsuited to the M40 244 then he is totally unable to find any sensor Board! Now, I've seen in some forums and website the possibility of the "underclocking", or a way to 'reset' the BIOS fan, but, Wow!, I am not an expert! What it means? It is possible with a laptop computer, or it is only possible with a PC?

  Here go us! I can go to a store of Toshiba and I guarantee, but it is required to serve 1 week without my laptop so professionally, she is extremely boring for me!

  Sorry, I'm a little long and sorry for my English (I'm French!), but If someone KNOWS A WAY THAT ALLOWS ME TO SOLVE this COOLING PROBLEM BY MYSELF, please tell me!

  Thanks in advance,

  Fred

  Hi Fred

  Vacuuming, cleaning procedure is not bad and very easy, but be careful. But if it does not help you should contact Toshiba service partner.
  The fact is that your laptop is under warranty and if there is a serious problem with the cooling module and fans the service partner must check.

  If you click this link, you will find the list of the FSA from Toshiba:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?PF=true

  In addition, you should check the settings in the energy saver because this Toshiba tool that controls the use of the CPU and cooling method.

  Good luck

• Satellite M40-PSM40C keeps retsarting after fresh OS installation

  Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me, I need your urgent help!

  I bought a M40-PSM40C-JM800E to the Canada and use for 1.5 years. the warranty just expired my laptop back to me.
  At the beginning it suddenly displays a blue screen with the error: 0x000000A5, 0 x 00000011, 0 x 00000006, and recently it freezes itself.

  I tried to use the cd of restoration but when lights in windows, it just stucks there on the screen and nothing happens
  I tried with windows xp pro, that it restarts itself several times prior to complete installation.
  However, it restarts again after 1 to 10 minutes when windows is running.

  Once I tried to load all toshiba drivers, then it freezes (feel like she is still in progress, but you can move anything). When I run mode Windows safe, there is absolutely NO problem.

  I also tried to run on the Linux Live Cd, restarts it rarely.
  I tried to update the BIOS, but it does not allow me because of the same version. I couldn't do it BACK as well. (no floppy, bootable CD doesn't pop up with some pages in German)

  I contacted Toshiba authorized service center in canada and they said no problem with RAM or HD, the next step "is replace CPU that cost $450 + work (150).
  I ask if it will not work, so they said so to change motherboard :)

  I took it to the mechanic and they test the CPU, and so forth, without finding any problem.
  Do you think maybe it's Bios setting or a conflict between a device. Because it restarts with a new installation or freezes with full-time work and driver very good facilities with safe mode.

  Some people say to reset the Bios, don't you think that it will work. How can I do
  Thank you very much

  and today after much trying to reinstall, there is a message: insufficient system recources exist to complete the API...

  where are the men in this world? No one can help?

• Satellite Pro 6100 slowy starting after crashing

  My Satellite Pro crashed recently and since then has worked ridiculously slowly, not only in windows, but start upward. Any ideas on what I can check to see what the problem is and we hope to resolve this?

  Hello

  What do you mean by crashed?
  Replace a few parts such as HARD drive?
  Usually if Notepad starts slowly, you should check the boot order in the BIOS.
  Try disconnecting additional devices if you have connected some external devices to the laptop.

  In addition, you can try running chkdsk to check the HARD disk for errors.

• Satellite M40 - 129 stops starting after the Toshiba screen

  Hello
  My M40 continues sometimes to start after the Toshiba screen. He stops and all I see is the blinking cursor. No Error Message or something else and normal boot from the HARD drive. Boot from CD (for example. Œuvres of Knoppix). This problem sometimes occurs and traceable for me isn´t.

  Best regards
  Spoony

  Hey Spoony

  Unfortunately on this path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. Each user has a specific configuration OS and we don t know how your operating system is configured.

  You can boot OS in safe mode? If Yes check what the problem may be a little. If there is anything you can do I recommend you save all your data and preinstall unit using rescue media. If you do this I recommend also to create two partitions.

  Don t compare WXP and Linux startup procedure. As you know that Knoppix using just the RAM and no HARD drive for the race.

• Own win 10 install after the update possible?

  Hi all.

  I've just updated to Win 8.1 to win 10, but now I plan to do a clean instead install. I used the Windows Media authoring tool to make a USB bootable for this.

  Windows will require a license key if I do or he will recognize the key somewhere in hardware? Since my laptop doesn't not silent a come with a written license key, it would be good to know before doing something.

  Thank you.

  Thank you.

  That's what I know:

  1. from your current, active Windows copy open the flash drive USB with installation media and double-click Setup.
  2 select anything.
  The setup of Windows 10 installs a new copy of the edition that matches the one you have installed.
  It clears your previous installation and you won't be asked to enter a product key.

  OR

  Since you already win 10, just select Reset in the recovery section and select 'remove all '.

• Satellite Pro 6100: blue screen after overheating problem

  My laptop overheats a year ago and since then I can only use it for about an hour at a time. First sign, it's going to blue screen, it's the hard drive starts clicking and about 5 minutes later, he dies.
  Let it cool down for a few hours, then it is well again. It is not the disc hard as I tested it in another laptop.

  Any ideas?
  I desperately need to work again, it has been the best laptop I've ever owned, and I hate the idea of having to buy a new one with a touchpad.

  Hello

  Generally, the laptop overheats because the cooling module may not work correctly.
  I guess that the blue screen appears because of the overheating.
  In this case, I would recommend checking the cooling fans. Fans cannot work properly because of the dust and debris.
  The use of the vacuum cleaner is the best way to clean the fans.
  But be careful.

  In addition, the square around the laptop must be free. It is important that fans can take a breath.

• Adobe Creative Cloud not recognizing Applications installed after download problems

  Hello

  Can't find a satisfactory answer in the forums!

  I was prompted to update ACC app the other day and ended with the 1002 very annoying error!

  I have searched the forum and followed the advice of a staff member on how to remove the application, use the vacuum cleaner (missing some vital info there!) and how to download the app again.

  Which seemed to go all well enough - well, not really!

  None of my existing applications already downloaded have been recognized by the PS app, I, ID, bridge, Muse etc.

  How awful! Now I have to redownload all apps and that takes a lot of time with my download speed and I need to work! The customers are waiting!

  How can it set without having to re - download applications and without upsetting the boat any more?

  I'm on a PC with Windows 7 modern

  Thank you

  Hi JoziG,

  I agree to the suggestions of kglad, however, before you reinstall the remaining applications, please try to change the language setting for Adobe Creative Cloud applications and share the results.

  Thank you

• Satellite 1800 working extremely slow after reinstallation of the operating system

  I bought a second hand Satellite 1800. I gathered all the drivers on the site of producer s, but when I formatted the HARD drive and installed Windows XP Home edition (my own copy, not any supplied software) the laptop works extremely slow... before that during the process of reading/writing of HARD drive, you could hear that typical for the sound... now the hard drive is completely silent during operation as it's slow as hell...

  I tried to keep up with the web and it turns out that if I reinstalled the OS to Toshiba Recovery CD, it should do the thing... never mind, I didn't know I should have this CD when I bought it... so now I don't... Is there anything I could do about it?
  Help, please

  Q.

  Hello

  As far as I know, this camera comes with W98SE and WME. The recovery CD with operating system Windows XP Home edition for this device is not created by Toshiba.

  You can install Windows XP Home edition and use all the drivers for the Toshiba download site. I don t know how much RAM use this device, but if the unit has less than 128 MB of RAM you can't wait the machine runs fast.
