• 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.

• Where is the second slot of RAM on Satellite M100-165?

  Hello

  Sorry in advance for my English :)

  I have Toshiba M100-165 (PSMA1E-01W00PG3) and you want to upgrade memory RAM. But I see just a free memory slot on the bottom of my laptop. According to the manual and specifications of the laptop, there should be two slots. Where is the other? There for you, and how can I access it?

  I will be grateful for the answer.

  You are right. There are two locations of memory, but only one is user expandable!
  In my view, the other is placed somewhere under the keyboard.

  But like I said it's only one scalable user. So, if you open the laptop to access the second slot, you will lose the warranty.
  It is therefore advisable to ask and ASP technician to upgrade memory on the second slot.

  Best regards

• C55-A-1MW satellite does not start with the new RAM inserted

  Hey.

  I hope to find someone who can help me... I bought ram memories and tried 4 different memories in my C55 A 1MW Satellite. But each card RAM I have insert makes the computer cannot start... It lights just to stop again.

  Is there a compatibility issue or anything like that? I used 2 different aData Ram extensions cars, 1 1 and 4 GB 2 GB. the 4 GB card was 1333 mhz and was 2 GB 1600 mhz card. and I tried 2 corsair 4 GB 1600 mhz different cards.

  Is this something that makes only able to expand RAM with Toshibas own memories or is the second cardslot for broken RAM memory?

  As I see you use RAM modules with different specifications. Your problem is certainly of RAM compatibility and you must use the RAM modules with the same specifications.
  According to specification of laptop there are 4 slots of memory and laptop can handle up to 32 GB of RAM.

  The compatible RAM modules are:
  4 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M4G
  8 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M8G

  Of course, you can use modules from other manufacturers, but please do not use some cheap products. I can recommend the use of Kingston memory modules.

• 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.

  Good bye

• Satellite M40X-149: where a memory module?

  Hello

  I have a satellite M40X-149. I believe that my laptop has a faulty memory - gel randomly, sometimes will not start sound cmos etc. However when I opened the plastic lid it seems to be an empty memory slot. Assume that the memory is either on board or possibly under the keyboard as in some other models of Toshiba.

  Could someone tell me first where it is and also if it can be replaced. If it cannot be replaced, is it possible to disable it and use the empty accommodation?

  The machine is out of warranty so take it apart is not a problem

  Thanks in advance
  KeV

  Hello

  Yes, you are right. The laptop supports 2 locations in memory, but only one is scalable user.
  This means that the other is hidden somewhere under the keyboard!
  But if you remove the keyboard or any parts, you will lose the warranty.
  Therefore the slot is called scalable user because the common user could insert the module without having to open Notepad.

  The laptop can be upgraded up to 2048 MB. If one slot can candle 1024Mo!
