• Error and warning before and after the POST - Satellite M40X 129

  Hello

  I use a Satellite M40X-129, bought in 2005.
  After you have reinstalled Windows and all the necessary drivers (after more than 3 years, which was the longest time I used a windows ;-)) installation this afternoon, I meet the following situation when starting):

  (... check and all the stuff of ram...)
  Updated System Configuration data
  ERROR
  0271: check date and time
  WARNING
  0251: System CMOS checksum bad - default configuration used
  Press to resume, installation

  When I press F1 to resume, windows starts very well as I'm used to it.
  I can also access the configuration and need to update the time setting.

  Two scenarios:
  (a) the startup, shutdown, reboot: error message happen
  (b) setting the time, out of the bios with save the configuration, boot, very well until the stop/restart is required

  I tried to download the update of the bios to v1.60, but the configuration tool told me that this version is already in use and it will not progress.

  What I wondered: why is it happening? I don't think that the battery power is low, which was suggested to others in other threads, because it happened just after I installed the chipset/utils and other drivers from the toshiba download page.

  What can I do?

  -Bios update? -> Where can I find a new version? A tool (which I downloaded from a site linked to Phoenix Technologies) told me, there is an update for my Bios, but he wants me to join a subscription $29.99 / year

  -Swap CMOS battery? -> how remove m40x-129, tutorials? Don't want no f * ck it upwards...

  any other advice?

  Thanks for your help.
  Best regards

  Hello

  I think that the CMOS battery may be empty and therefore both a given in the BIOS is always changing the default value.

  Usually, you should be able to recharge this battery CMOS very easily.
  The user manual describes how to load this. Take a look at your manual

  As I m not wrong not the laptop must be ON and running and must be connected to the mains for more than 20hours.
  Then, the notebooks BIOS battery needs to be recharged again.

  Check it out!

  Good bye

• Power adapter for Toshiba Satellite M40X 129

  Hello guys,.
  hope this is the right forum to post my question in:

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X 129 (model No.: PSM4XE-01600CGR). My adapter is buggered so I need to get a new one. Bought the machine in Germany, now am in Tasmania / Australia. Being in a camp of the Valley remote until April, I won´t be able to go into a store with my laptop to try and understand, that the AC adapter / CC is suitable. We have internet here as our only communication, it is very important for me that sort.

  Can someone tell me, what type of adapter / power supply is planned or where to look?

  The one I ve been before is a LITEON, part No.: PA3432U-1AC3, model n °: PA-1750-09, input: 100-240V, 50-60 Hz, 1. 5 a, output: 19V, 3. 95 a.

  Thanks for your help and have a nice day
  Peter

  Adapters for your Satellite are:
  PA3432U-1ACA
  PA3432U-1AC3
  PA3432C-1AC3.

  Put this number in Google and you will find very precise specifications.

  By the way: If you already have the old adapter specifications I put t understand why you need some additional info. If there is no possibility to buy again until April, how do you get a new one?
  Sorry, but I m confused.

• Satellite L300-129 - how to increase the video memory (shared)

  Yesterday I bought TOSHIBA Satellite L300-129

  AND I WANT TO ASK SOMETHING:

  I want to share some memory to improve the proceedings of VGA card.
  I know that I need to do from the CONFIGURATION of the BACK but I can't and I need to improve my VGA card because the default is so so small... I want to give him some PART of MEMORY (RAM) SYSTEM

  PLEASE I NEED HELP

  THANK YOU GUYS;

  Hey Buddy

  Unfortunately, I doubt that you can allocate a portion of system memory to video memory manually. AFAIK this sharing process is controlled by the driver for graphics card and all run automatically.

  On the other hand the graphics card driver could assign more memory for video card if the system memory could be upgraded.
  In other words the higher system RAM superior video RAM.

• Satellite M40X-129: fans works with a maximum return on Vista

  Hello

  I have the laptop M40X 129 for 2 years and am very satisfied in this regard.
  But since the last few weeks, I have problems with the cooler.
  If I use a 3d task in the lower first 45, that the system works without any problem.
  But his is warming a heater and cooler will then maximum (you can hear it).

  From this moment, the system becomes very slow. I run the system with the highest maximum power and use windows vista professional.
  The laptop feels too hot on the underside (ram?).

  Is it possible to run the cooler from the start at a higher level, for example in the bios or in windows (some options?)?

  I hope you can help me,
  Flo

  Hi Flo

  Usually, there is nothing wrong with your laptop. If the internal temperature rises to a higher level, the cooling modules have to perform with maximum efficiency to lower the temperature!
  While the temperature is high the graphic driver Toshiba decrease the performance of the graphics card in order to avoid a temperature rise.
  That is why the laptop could run slowly!

  What you could do is check the cooling fans and if necessary try to clean with a compressed air jet professional. These aerosols can be purchased from the merchant to the computer.

  However, please note that the installed Vista is in need of more computer resources as the beginning s MS Windows operating system. All devices like CPU and GPU with superior performance and so the temperature is higher with Vista as using other Windows OS such as XP.

• 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

• How to clean fans on Satellite M40X 129

  How to clean equipment, ventilation of the cooling system is dirty and if quickly overheat, it is allowed and possible and how do I open the case? If I do this, is that mean that I broke the seals and have no warranty/guarantee of Toshiba?

  Hello

  Yes it s true. If you open the Notepad or remove the lids to clean the fans on the inside you will lose the warranty.
  I clean my device with vacuum fans. This is a very simple procedure and I don t need open Notepad.
  But if you try this, so please be careful.

• Satellite M40X-129: where is the second RAM?

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop. Since I closed it last time when the battery was empty I can´t start Notepad again. I'm getting a signal from the BIOS. 1-3-3-1 is the beep code. So, I think, I have an error with either of my two 512MB - RAM.

  Yesterday I opened the hood of the laptop at the undersite and removed the 512 MB of RAM. Then I tested the laptop again - but the beep code is the same.

  Today, as I searched the second 512 MB of RAM under the keyboard, but I didn t found the second RAM.

  Can someone tell me how I can reach the second 512 MB of RAM?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Martin

  Hello

  a friend of mine has a similar machine and we exchanged the two modules. If you have no warranty on that then it s no problem machine to do what I say to you:
  Right you´re the second RAM is under the keyboard, but after removing the keyboard, unscrew a small cover that appears after lifting the keyboard. This bit of cover and the second RAM will appear.

  Good luck

• Satellite M40x 129 No. by download drivers

  The laptop comes with Windows XP Home. I installed Windows XP Professional and now I'm looking for drivers because the Toshiba Site offers only 2 updates to the Bios. (Unbelivable, but true)

  I would be glad if someone could help me:
  I need to know exactly what Audio and adapters are integrated by Intel so I can get on the Intel site.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Tom is quite right. It is also possible that you have no CD tools as on pre-installed unit, it is possible to create CD tools only. If you are interested in how to do it, you will find this option in favour of the TOSHIBA Protect & fix.

• Satellite M50 161 - how to set up the WIFI connection?

  I use my Satellite as a second computer. My PC is primary and is using a NETGEAR card.

  I used a card reminder in wireless cards because my home office is a bit far from the PC.

  Of course, my laptop has its own part of the ways to get online.

  I've always taken for granted connection. I don't even remember the 1st time I am connected. In fact an engineer could have done to the delivery!

  PC had problems connecting. Host Web server problems. I was expecting sort of my laptop to connect in any case, as it could / should connect to it's own wireless installation to get online. I'm not an expert as you realize.

  It dawned on me while I had no idea how to switch on and connect using the built-in wireless card that not Netgear obviously. Or I'm expecting a lot and the lap top is actually a slave to my PC connection and always will home in on the netgear connection.

  BTW, I'm back online via the netgear but would like to know. Excuse my ignorance...

  Hello

  To be honest I m a bit confused.
  I put t know exactly what you want to do.

  You want to connect the laptop to the other PC via WiFi or connect the Satellite M50 to the WLan router as usual?

  If you want to connect to the Wlan router and then activate the wireless card on the laptop with the WLan switch on the side of the laptop and the FN + F9 key combination.
  Then configure settings such as the SSID, encryption, Mac address, etc. by using windows has the configuration settings or 3rd party software like utility Intel ProSet or Atheros client utility (depending on the Wlan card).

  For more details you can visit the Toshiba Wlan Portal
