• Satellite M40X-112: can I use the 160 GB HARD drive

  I have a Satellite M40X-112 lapptop and I want to upgrade my 80 GB to 160 GB internal drive.
  How is know possible? (Toshiba hotline cannot give me an answer only that a 80 GB drive has been tried with these lapptop!). Anyone have experience with that?

  I read several statements here in the forum about HDD upgrade on the M40X and it seems that there is a limitation in the BIOS.
  The BISO will not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive and that is why you will be not possible to install an OS or you will not be able to boot from this device.

  Please use the "advanced search" from this forum to find discussions on upgrading the HARD drive.

• Good driver WLAN for Satellite M40X-112?

  Hello world

  I am the owner of a

  + Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 / 2915 +.

  + Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945 / 4965 +.

  + Atheros Wireless LAN adapter +.

  Thank you very much

  Install the driver for "Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200/2915.

  It is the right one.

  Nice weekend.

• Satellite M40X-112: malfunction of the keyboard after you emptied a cup of tea

  Good evening to everyone.

  My girlfriend has emptied her cup of tea on his portable Satellite M40x-112.

  Now everything works except the keys R, F, V, Fn.

  Does anyone have experience with such a problem? The laptop is still not out of warranty.
  So, I don't want to open it to clean the keys by behind.

  So any advice or tips or something else (with the exception of the stupid remarks) would be useful.

  Thank you...

  Fischhaendler

  HEY Bela,

  If you're lucky then spilt tea will only have caused a short-circuit in the keyboard itself and won't not flowed through to the motherboard. In this case, it would be possible to clean the keyboard or have it replaced by an authorized Service partner (to maintain the guarantee).

  Unfortunately, you will not be between the ab and do you much because it will be dismantled and that would invalidate the warranty.

  Kind regards

  If you can't find the second RAM slot on the lower part, usually it is under the keyboard.

• Satellite M40X-112: password of HDD in Bios

  Hello

  I have a laptop M40X-112. I activated the password for HARD drive in the BIOS. How safe is it? The HARD disk can be read in another PC? -What are the data encrypted on the HARD drive? Regardless of the method is used?

  This text has been translated by Google, I hope it's okay...

  Sincerely

  Hello

  HARD drive password is stored in the drive itself.
  Thus, even the HARD drive unit is deleted from a computer and attached to the other, the HARD drive password is needed to access.

• Satellite U400 - 112 (PSU40E) - Safe BIOS upgrade - SOLUTION

  Dear all,

  Trying since long upgrade for the bios of my laptop favorite... Toshiba Satellite U400-112 (PSU40E)
  I have Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) English and BIOS version 4.00(until yesterday).
  The problem was that, in windows 7 (32 & 64 bit), the tool flash never started the process of update due to several incompatibilities.
  There is a solution (in fact a workaround solution) to be honest and works 100%!

  My solution is:

  (A) download the latest bios upgrade version appropriate for your laptop, save it (tomake it is easier in the root of the C:\ drive) and unpack it in a temporary folder (for example: bios).

  (B) use the Hiren's Boot CD a real support from a USB or CD (download and burn a CD or follow the process of CD copy on a USB key).

  (C) boot the laptop from the CD or USB flash and in Hiren's Boot Menu, select the version of mini Windows XP.

  (D) allow completely Windows XP startup and then run the tool to update the bios flash from the temporary folder. The update procedure make it exactly as it is described in the manual of the bios update. (If you are not experienced)

  (E) it will update the bios, and then he stops himself. Then you can start normally your operating system, remove any CD or USB key mounted on it.

  I hope you find it helpful and convenient.

  Best regards

  Ioannis

  To be honest I updated the BIOS on my U400 (running Win 7 32 bit), A210 (Vista) and Tecra A10 (Win 7 64 bit) using the victory as the BIOS version and never had any problems in running the tool
  Anyway thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community

• Satellite M40X-112 does not start correctly

  Hello

  I have a similar problem with my M40X-112. After pressing the power button, th sbutton turns blue, the fan starts
  rotation and after a few seconds, the fan stops and nothing happens (no starting, no noise, nothing).
  In one of the 30 tests I can see the start screen and also made to put bios in twice, but after
  a few seconds, the screen goes black and everything crashes. At any time the blue light of the switch
  lights and all three green lights in the front of the laptop are on.

  The CMOS battery is empty? Why should remove the battery and AC help in this situation? Due to workload
  24 hours with laptop turned on aid (see http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=145557#145557)?

  Thank you very much in advance for advice.

  Marc

  > Is the vacuum battery CMOS? Why should remove the battery and AC help in this situation? Made load for 24 hours with laptop turned on help
  I don t think that the battery is empty. Your description does not sound like a battery problem.
  If the CMOS battery is empty then the laptop could start but only the date and the hour would set the default

  So I think that the problem could be linked to more than a motherboard on the question of CMOS battery problem
  I think we can discuss the anomaly and we say what part might be bad, but finally it would be only a hypothesis and won't really help to know exactly what's wrong.

  So I would say you should ask for verification of the material an ASP.

• Need advice on replacing hard drive Toshiba

  I have other manufacturers with a 60 GB MK6021GAS HDD Toshiba laptop. According to me, the hard disk is endangered and I want to shoot anything on the restore disc to another new. I need everything from the disk because the OS image is one that has been charged by the company, with that I have a contract and apparently the standard that came with the laptop is not compatible with their applications that I have also loaded on the laptop.

  I don't want to travel more than 100 miles in business COMPUTING of offices to have another OS loaded on the new drive I did not, so what I guess I want to do is to create an accurate picture of the existing drive, then restore the image to the new drive when I get it.

  I tried to make an image of the disc using Paragon exact Image 7 SE, but download from the failed hard drive on a dump of DVD disc fails consistently, after copying 1.6 Go Go 8,32, the statement that the hard drive is damaged.

  Another piece of software, Active SMART also reports that of the disk failure is imminent, reporting a status of 'Bad' for this disc. I have run chkdsk many times over the past months on the hard drive and on a few occasions, he isolated the defective sectors. So, everything indicates that the days of the disk being really numbered.

  I want to be able to do is buy another unit of MK6021GAS HDD and get all the files from that defective to the new without having to reload the operating system, data software application etc.

  Is this possible? If Yes, what is the best way? How can I get all of the disc if this software Paragon doesn't let me extract everything? Any advice greatly appreciated.

  Thank you
  Phil.

  Hi Phil,

  Your problem seems to be that certain parts of your drive hard existing cannot be read and thus your attempts to copy the data on the drive will fail. You will need to use a suitable backup utility must take into account segments on your drive so that you can get a copy of safety as much as possible your system.

  I know that Norton Ghost has the option to ignore bad sectors when you take a backup (I myself have used in the past). You could then do a restore of the magnified image to a new disk, but if ignored bad sectors were in a critical area of the operating system, then you still have problems after restoring.

  Alternatively, you can copy both of your personal folders as possible to an external support and then reinstall your OS from scratch even if obviously would need you a valid drive of installation/recovery of Microsoft (or OEM). You can then restore your personal files.

• Satellite M40X-189: I want to upgrade the processor?

  Hello

  I have the satellite m40x-189 notebook with Intel Pentium M 730 processor(1.6/2M/533). "I want to improve my CPU with Intel Pentium M780 processor(2.26/2M/533). Is this possible?

  Generally speaking, the situation of CPU upgrade is a little different on laptops. It's not as easy as on the desktop PC.
  The production of temperature and overheating are serious problems.

  But the series of different laptops is shipped with different processors. AFAIK the M40X supports processors:
  Intel Pentium-M Dothan, 1.6GMHz, 1.73GMHz, 1.86 MHz, 2.0GMHz, 2.13GMHz
  and 2.26 MHz.
  Intel Celeron-M Dothan, 1.3GMHz, 1.4GMHz, 1.5 MHz, 1.6GMHz

  The device also supports processors Intel 915 PM/915GM/910GML chipset for system memory controller.

  But you know, nobody's going to give you the guarantee that the laptop will run stable and without any strange behavior.

• Satellite M40X-112: WLAN not working not

  Hello

  I got a M40X-112 and had some problems recently with my wifi connection. The router works (tested with other customers) and the regular LAN on laptop computer makes it work. But 2 weeks ago I wanted to access the internet and it stoped working.

  I just tried to reinstall my OS but nothing has changed. Always the connection works occasionally for 2 seconds max.

  What could be the problem?

  Hello

  First check in the area to network adapters Device Manager if the wireless network card is correctly recognized
  If not, download the latest Wlan driver and install it...

  Then check all of the WLan settings on your laptop.
  I recommend checking the encryption and the validity of the key.

  Try disabling encryption on the router and try to connect to the WLan without security settings.
  If everything works, you can set the rear security settings.

• Satellite A 40, upgrade hard disk

  Hi, I have a laptop Toshiba A 40 with a DVD-R/RW drive. My desktop pc has two hard disks with an 80 and a 120 GB.
  What I'm wondering is can I connect hard drives in Notepad using a specially designed adapter or any other kit so that I can transfer the data stored in them in a DVD-R?
  Thank you.

  If you remove the disks, you can put them in a case that connects via USB to your laptop.
  Or... you could just share your discs on the network.
