• Satellite M40X-126: disk blocks when the DVD-RAM has been inserted

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite M40X-126 with a super multi drive installed. I have a problem with writing to DVD-RAM. Sometimes, when I try to write data to a DVD-RAM disc, the DVD player makes a strange noise, as if the mechanic of material is blocked inside the car. The laptop will not write any data on him and he doesn't notch in this noise. And I can't open the drive, because it is blocked by the software. And windows is blocked as well, I can't do anything. The only thing I can do, is stopped the laptop by pressing the power on button a few seconds.

  I do not think, it is a software problem. I have installed all the necessary drivers (UDF) is installed correctly. And DVD - RAM writing runs smoothly most of the time. But I have every 5 times I insert a DVD-RAM disc makes it drive this strange noise and everything is blocked.

  My disc is damaged? Who has the same behavior?

  Thank you

  Hi Reto

  I have the same drive, but it works without problem. I know that DVD-RAM media are expensive, but all I can suggest is you buy another provider and check if it will happen again.

  Hello

  Satellite M40X sounds new enough to have CDs of feature writing. Seems to me a HW question but you can try:
  1 - Clean the blank CD with a cloth dry
  2 - blow to the goal and do not forget that there is no dust
  3. you can uninstall the driver from
  -> Panel-> system-> hardware-> Device Manager-> DVD - RAM-> (right click) properties--> driver uninstall-> restarting your laptop.

  If they do not contribute, you can contact a Toshiba authorized Service partner. You can find the one nearest to http://217.45.123.236/toshiba/resellerselector.nsf/WebServiceProv?OpenForm

• Satellite M40X-175: widescreen driver

  Nice press release on the widescreen technology

  However, I have lived the next bad thing with a purchased M40X-175 on 08/04/2005

  Out of the box the screen 1280 x 800 was only recognized and drives like a screen of 1024 x 768, leaving the bottom lines 32 with random data and half black right.

  I have described this problem clearly enough for the helpdesk to the Netherlands, but they could not solve the problem in 2 sessions paid upport (0.5 Euro / minute) about 40 minutes total and about hours-3 man of my site. Support staff had never heard of this problem? !!!

  After reinstalling the recovery cd is still not luck.

  That I noticed that there is an upgrade of the bios of the 26/07/2005. However there is no rejection note on the bios (obviously to avoid lawsuits against toshiba) I decided to update the bios. To my surprise, every thing seems to be ok now! (This should have been answered in 5 minutes by support in my opinion because it is impossible that only my laptop is wrong...)

  The biggest problem now is marketing strategy. Although all points are now led Windows XP is always grateful screen 1024 x 768 but the format of the screen is now extended to 1280 x 800 but I expect the real resolution of 1280 x 800. I think Toshiba must create a special monitor XP driver for the LCD for this resolution or someone has another solution?

  Hello Peter

  As far as I know all the drivers, tools and utilities designed for any laptop model are tested until the unit turns to production. It also means that all the tested drivers are integrated into the recovery image.

  Sometimes you can see a black border on the screen, but it can be solved by changing setting called BIOS display stretching. It will be interesting to know what resolution showed after the first start.

• M40X-175 of freezing on the way of stand-by

  Hello

  I had to replace the hard drive of my M40X-175. The new disc has Win XP Pro SP2 is installed and this system, after the PnP - ing and manually install the software Toshiba, works very well. The only problem seems to be that standby does not at all.

  Here's what it looks like: I send the laptop to the stand-by mode, the XP says she is about to go on the stand-by, yet unsaved data are emptied on the hard disk, the screen turns off, and then the process stops. It's the mouse, HARD drive, keyboard, fan and probably something else stop. The power button is still blue, without blinking. The laptop does not respond to anything except a 5-sec power button push, which she died.

  Any ideas on what might be the cause of this problem of sleep and how to fix it?

  Thank you
  Vlad

  Hello

  It seems that the problem started after installing the new software.
  In my opinion, you can try to install the new Toshiba Power Saver Utility (V1.31.0.5C) and Power Saver Driver (V7.03.06C).

  Good luck

  Good bye

• Satellite M40x overheating while game

  Hello

  When I play a game on my toshiba laptop (satellite M40X) it gets overheated after about an hour. I wonder if someone also has this problem and if I can do anything other than take EIT to the store?

  Thank you

  > I wonder if someone also has this problem and if I can do something
  Don t wonder about this question. It was nothing unusual after 1 or 2 years of use of the laptop.

  The problem is that all the devices and parts of portable computers run full implementation and produce a lot of heat all in game.
  I think that the cooling modules are blocked and fans do not twist full implementation!
  This led to the rise in temperature and to automatically stop down.

  The laptop automatically stops because it supports thermal protection to avoid damage!
  It s a feature, not a bug ;)

  So what to do? It s simply.
  The cooling modules must be cleaned professionally. Usually, the jet of compressed air should just help to clean the fans.
  In a case value, you need to contact a mobile technician who could clean up the laptop inside.
  Then you must get rid of this evil little but annoying ;)

  Best regards

• Touchpad is frozen or not work - Satellite M40X

  Hello everyone,

  I have a problem with my touchpad. He is either gel or does not work, sometimes it works, but all of a sudden freezes. What really made me crazy that it is new. I read many solutions here and there. Then, I did not win a thing, but anger, please help me!

  Satellite M40X
  Windows XP
  1.73GHz

  Hello

  Have you installed a 3rd mouse driver or all 3rd applications that could have a negative influence on the touchpad?
  This problem occurs with the new OS recovered? In my opinion, you should first check if the corrupted software is a bad influence. If after this procedure, the touchpad freezes and doesn t work properly, so it could be a hardware failure. In this case, you will need to bring the laptop to the service.

• Satellite M40X-189 - replace HARD disk - what size should I go to?

  Hi, I have a SATELLITE M40X-189, I would like to replace the hard drive and would like if possible some recommendations!
  I know I need an ide/pata and I currently have a hard disk of 40 GB hitachi 5400 rpm installed. The memory is just what came installed originally, (512 MB, no upgrade).

  So what size I can up to?
  I have a lot of music/photos and video to change so must also size decent 80 GB would be enough?
  I really don't use it for anything other than that, and also the navigation on the internet. Although I often have a few programs running at the same time which causes problems... freeze, (in particular I tunes) and generally slow running.

  I'm confident on the physical replacement, and I know how to clone my old drive hard etc, but just need some info about the size and speed and if possible
  a recommendation of the manufacturer. Just worried about incompatibility really issues.

  Also, if you think I should install more memory, which size and make and model may recommend.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hi mate

  First he must know that this question have been posted a lot of time in the forum.
  If you want to use the search option, then you will find this thread for example:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=68287

  Is the M40X series supports the IDE controller and I think that you need a 2.5 IDE HDD.
  The old ide controllers are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA
  However, you can take an 80 GB or 120 GB HARD drive and it should work fine

• Satellite M40X-230 turns off randomly

  Hello

  My satellite m40x-230 is about 2 years old. Recently, power has been cut out completely Mid-use - for example I watch a movie and suddenly everything power to cancel - it is connected through the ESA and the battery is connected when this happens. If I unplug the AC and the battery and wait a while, then ac and battery back, I can to come back on and it works very well for a while.

  Can anyone suggest what the problem please?

  Thanks in advance.

  Not easy to say with certainty what the problem may be but let us start with an innocuous explanation: I think that this happens due to overheating. Obviously the material temperature has reached the critical level and the laptop turns off simply without any warning.

  It is because of the material. Because of this, the first step, you can do is to clean your laptop. I guess that after two years, there is a lot of dust on the inside and the air flow is blocked.

• Satellite M40x - where the memory?

  Hi all

  I want to improve my memory of 512 MB to 1.5 GB. I bought 1 G RAM and when I plugged in the screen become white and computer laptop does not work. RAM is fine. I have contact the technical service of the seller, and according to them I need to remove the old 512 MB of RAM and plugged it my 1 GB of RAM for my laptop recognize the new RAM.

  To do this, I opened my keboard and under what I can only find WLAN in the middle in the left there is another local network. and the far left, I see my DVD - ROM. On the right PC card and what is - this. I don't know where is the 512 MB RAM slot. It is there somewhere.

  Is there any expert who can tell me where to find 512 MB RAM slot?

  PS: I even call Toshiba support and they said sorry according to policy, we cannot tell you.
  If expert laymen captions please help me to solve this problem.

  Please

  I checked the manual of the Satellite M40x (it can be downloaded from the Toshiba site) and if you look at page 8-7 you can find a description of the memory upgrade.

  In my opinion the 512 MB that you already is a built-in RAM that can t be upgraded because the bottom of the laptop is on only one memory slot.

  However, I think that it is not a problem to use an additional RAM module, but maybe the new RAM is not compatible with your laptop.
  What type of memory you have bought exactly? Maybe you should try it with another.

  I hope I could help a bit.

• Satellite M40X-286: energy saving and the E - key utility does not work on Vista

  First of all, sorry for my bad English.

  I managed to install Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit on my Satellite M40X-286. Everything works, except for the energy saving and the E - key utility. I tried the added value of packages of other TOSHIBA models, but they all give an error message during the installation. Is there a solution for this problem?

  Now I can't change the speed of the processor and the brightness of my screen, and I can't even adjust these settings in a power mode. The only way to change the brightness is manually using the FN + F6 and F7 keys.

  Kind regards
  Stijn.

  Please don t be crazy about me, but there is no problem at all. The situation is quite clear.

  First: tools and utilities are similar, but in most cases have to be adapted for each laptop model. It may happen that some tools work on the different model of laptop, but this does not mean that he has to work on each model.

  Second important fact is that Toshiba does not Satellite M40X support for Vista operating system and I guess you won't be able to use this tool. In my opinion, it is not so important, because all the energy-saving settings you can find in Vista power options.

  For utility E - key, I don't see a solution. If you use OS not supported, you must live with it.

• Problem starting on Satellite M40X-250

  For some time, I'm having a problem with an old laptop, the Toshiba Satellite M40X-250.

  When I try to boot this laptop, the headlights turn on, I can hear the hard drive and fan from, also I can hear (if I have one there) station cd read cd/dvd.

  But nothing else happens, the screen remains black and there is no way I can make it work.

  I quite know something on the desktop, so I disassembled the laptop completely and just cleaned and after I reassembled it again, but that had no effect, I can not even boot up the laptop.

  There is however another strange thing, it is very rare, but sometimes I get to start, but at some random point (very quickly, because I can't actually use the laptop) it is for me a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) with an error code, I think it was 0x000000EA. In any case, this meant a driver problem with the graphics card. It gave me an error ATIDVAG.

  But most of the time I'm still not able to start.

  Now, it's a very old laptop and I have tried everything,.
  I tried to start without battery (disconnected) and only the power, without result.
  I tried to start only with the battery, no results.
  I tried to unplug the power supply and the battery, then press the power button / stop for 60 seconds, no results.
  I tried several rescue cd, a linux installation cd, windows installation cd, it resulted in nothing.
  [EDIT] I have also connected to the laptop to an external monitor, but that did not work, no results.

  I'm really lost now, I have tried everything I know, and I've never met a problem like this.
  Maybe it's just the fact that material became old and it is better to give up, but I would really like to know if there is someone who can help me and maybe give me some ideas on what I can do.

  I am very familiar with the inside of this laptop and I know what to do. I don't want to not call me an expert, maybe it is a little off, but I know my way around.
  so, if anyone has a solution, let me know.

  Regards and thanks in advance.

  In my opinion, it seems that the problem of graphics card.
  Black screen means that the display is faulty or chip chart.

  But if the internal screen would malfunction, then you should still be able to use the external monitor, but I guess that's not possible, therefore, I think that his GPU problem
