• 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.

• Satellite M40x-112 - need advice on upgrade HARD disk

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M40x-112, it is almost 3 years and the hard drive (TOSHIBA MK8025GAS ATA) has problems, I need to change it, but I don't know a lot of this so I ask for help and advice on which hard drive should I buy for this laptop.

  I searched and read, but I still don't understand... In my view, there are many interfaces like PATA, SATA, ATA, then I saw ATA-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 also Ultra-ATA/100, EIDE, IDE etc etc... so I'm really confused...

  What interface using my laptop? What interface to use the new hard disk?

  And what hard drive 2.5 "is good? You will find a large number of companies, which is the best hard drives for laptops?
  My current hard drive is fat 80 GB. I would switch to 160 or 250, this guy do you recommend?

  Thank you all very much for your help,

  I understand that very well the different titles of interface HARD drive confused most people me too in the past ;)

  Then I would try to clarify some things;
  There are two important differences between the interfaces of HDD; IDE (ATA, PATA and also known as EIDE) and SATA (SATA).

  ATA - 5, Ultra ATA/66 means Ultra DMA 3, 4 (44.4, 66.7) means UDMA/66
  ATA - 6 means that ultra ATA/100 that means UDMA 5 (100) means UDMA/100
  ATA - 7, Ultra-ATA/133 means that UDMA 6 (133) means UDMA/133

  and so now ;)

  Your laptop supports the drive HARD IDE (ATA-6) Enhanced interface and you must use the IDE HDD (NOT of SATA)

  I'm not sure on the size HARD disk max because Toshiba doesn't provide official information on the max supported drives hard but a 100 GB maybe 120 GB of HARD drive might be possible.

• Good driver WLAN for Satellite M40X-112?

  Hello world

  I am the owner of a
  Satellite M40X-112
  and all in having moved my recovery CD I want to install XP anyway.

  Last thing I need is a network controller driver - probably the WLAN driver.

  If I want to download it, there are 4 options:

  + Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 +.

  + Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 / 2915 +.

  + Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945 / 4965 +.

  + Atheros Wireless LAN adapter +.

  How will I know which is the right pair?

  Thank you very much

  spinnne

  Don t you must discover. I've already done for you. :)

  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 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.

  > 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.

• 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 M40X 184: is my HDD ok?

  Hello I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X 184

  When no program is running my hard drive works from time to time make boring of the loud noise from time to time its not but I am curious to know is - this normal?
  could someone tell me

  Hi Tom,

  If you are running Windows XP, then it's quite normal that your hard drive show activity from time to time. You will have several active processes running that will periodically access the hard disk.

  You can also have background tasks that will periodically throw in life and cause a disk access activity.

  Kind regards

• I forgot the password of BIOS of my satellite M40X-112

  Hello

  I forgot the password to the BIOS of my laptop and I put the laptop so that it requires a password, not only for the opening of the Setup utility, but even to boot. The most annoying is that I stay in Corfu now and I will stay there for another 2.5 weeks. So, I won't be able to use my laptop for the rest of my vacation if there is no solution to remove the password. It is horrible cause I bought primary laptop to have a computer on vacation.

  I recorded my laptop immediately after purchase in line with toshiba. So what can I do to get rid of these password?

  Can send Toshiba my instructions how to remove via e-mail or is it Toshiba Service partner in the weeklies (Greece) where can I get the laptop to in order to get the password removed by the partner?

  Thank you in advance!

  p. a. I am writing an Internet coffee because my laptop is completely useless for the moment

  Hello

  As far as I know you can t change the BIOS password by yourself, because it's a very complicated procedure. To do this you must contact your official service partner Toshiba. They should check, if the device is stolen or not.
  On the Toshiba site, you can find the right service partner.

  Good bye

• Satellite M40x-112 white screen

  Hello

  I have laptop indicated above with this screen remains white if we it start.

  Everything runs in this way, the screen has time new problems diagram persist sometimes shown only still a side band.
  equipment and then in Italy, left repair, those exchanged display he returned later.
  Come to Germany the display shown only still a gray band for me downwards.

  I have then taken around equipment to look out if vlt cable am case, have in the back taken off cable screen and once again purely, but it remains the only white now only more white than other whole display which displays give me also the remains has therefore both tested.
  If I attach my external monitor go, only the display to the laptop remains white.

  Is it possible the inverter? or however that the vlt of cable?
  By the way, original, display in the store and it is tested heals.
  Therefore, I now excludes time display, diagram map.

  Can help them me vlt?

  Hi Klinsmann_1,
  your English is hardcore...
  If I you just the internal screen remains white when using and the external display shows all right.

  back to your question:
  the inverter is ok, because you see the light, otherwise, the screen remains black

  It seems to be a hardware problem on the adapter of the grafics means video card...
  or a broken wire but, for this purpose the colors should change if you move the screen...

  I think that there is no other way to ask an assistance servicepartner
  or you try to get a new grafics card and Exchange by yourself... bad job if ever done before...

• Satellite M40x-112 does not start

  Hello
  I have a problem with my old laptop M40.

  Last night it just turned out. First I thought it was overheated, as sometimes before, but until this morning, it won't start again. If I push the Start button it starts booting (I hear the HD) but only for 3 seconds, then there's no noise and nothing on the screen but still shines the light around the Start button. Weird.

  I tried to start without battery, only by cable, but that no longer works. Where ANY smell like something burned or so, I know not what happened. But I need my data.

  Would be cool if anyone knows help!

  Try to remove the battery and unplug the AC of the notebook adapter. Wait at least an hour and connect the AC adapter and the battery. Try restarting the laptop and maybe it works.

  Moreover, so save your data, you must start the laptop. If you have an external USB enclosure you can put your HARD drive in it, and then you can save the data on another computer or laptop.
