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.

    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-230 - display driver lost

    Hi, I'm new here.

    I've had this laptop model Toshiba Satellite M40x-230 for about 4-5 years now. The hard drive is full so I thought I would like to remove some unwanted files. I did 2 things

    (1) uninstall some programs that I don't use anymore
    (2) use Disk Cleanup to delete unused files.
    I thought I knew exactly what I was remove, but when I did, I found that the display went bizarre.
    When I checked, I found that it was showing only a default driver. Worse still, when I went in the trash to try to undo what I had done, he has no files inside.
    I tried to do a system restore, but it does not work.

    I went on the site of Toshiba and sought the drivers for my laptop. There are 2 options. I downloaded all of them and tried to install. The first one (Intel) said my system did not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. The other is (ATI) said the length of the specified directory path and the name of the installation folder exceeds 88 characters and to shorten it?

    Please can someone help me get my display back to how it was. It of usable but looks terrible and base.

    I know I'm a model so please be gentle with me.

    Hello

    Try this one:

    ATI

    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/display-20080416165814.zip

    or
    Intel

    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/display-20080416165832.zip

    I don't know if your laptop is equipped with Ati or Intel, that's why I posted 2 drivers.

  • Satellite M40X - 295 display driver

    Past slot operating system Win XP Win XP Prof and installed the driver ATI in disorder.
    This is why I can't change my frequency display more.

    Is there anyone who knows what to do?
    or
    If someone uses the same machine (with an ATI Radeon Mobility X 600 es), it would be great if you could tell me the name of the file display driver (* .inf)!

    Thank you

    Hello

    Well, I found on the Toshiba site the version of 8.111 ATI display driver.
    It seems that there is a newer version. But what frequency display would you like to change?
    Did you mean the screen refresh rate?
    As far as I know it of not possible to change this setting. It s a framework closes and it is always set to 60 Hz.

  • Satellite M40X-175 fully - blocks it freezes

    Hello!

    For more than a month, I have a big problem with my laptop:
    While I'm working on it, it blocks completely all of a sudden for no apparent reason.

    The right cursor no longer moves, I press any button.
    The only thing I can do (althouh I am well aware that this is not good for the computer) is to push the on / off button really long so that the system is turned off, wait a while and restart the computer.

    Sometimes happens 3 times in 2 hours!
    I looked for guidance to the problems of Toshiba, but I can't really define the problem.

    Can someone help me please?

    Hello

    When did you reinstall the OS?
    If the OS is confused upward then such portable behaviors are not unusual.

    In addition, the laptop can freeze due to a higher internal temperature.
    This means that a higher temperature may affect memory and the system does not work as it should.

    I think you should check your cooling modules if the air is moving correctly.
    If the fans are blocked because of the dust and debris then the temperature would be increasing because fans may not turn with the best performance.

    From time to time it s advisable to clean the cooling modules using a jet of compressed air. You can buy these sprays in most stores/laptop.

  • Can I install graphic driver Intel on Satellite M40X-119?

    Dear all, I have Satellite M40X-119 with Mobile Numtxpackets® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family for the graphics card. I found an update on Intel's web site for the pilot, but it was written that "it is should not be used if the system has a third party graphics card", what does that mean?

    Can I install the driver for my Toshiba laptop or not.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Marc

    To my knowledge of Toshiba you recommend to use only the graphics drivers from Toshiba and if you want to use the drivers of manufacturing one another so you can do it at your own risk.
    Some people have suggested that the graphics drivers from Toshiba are slightly changed due to overheating of the card. You know, if the laptop cooling modules get a limit of performance of the graphics card driver decreases the performance of the card in order to reduce the temperature.

    I think the original Intel driver does not support this feature and that is why it s advisable to use the drivers from Toshiba.

  • 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.

  • Re: Satellite A200-175: driver Vista need Wireless HotKey Utility FN + F8

    Please need drivers Wireless HotKey Utility for Vista (FN + F8).

    TNX.

    Hey Buddy

    Utilities for Vista Toshiba are a little different and not the same thing as XP Toshiba Utilities
    The only Wireless HotKey Utility that controls the FN + F8 key combination does not exist.
    You need to download the Package of added value that controls the different utilities.
    The common driver of TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA Flash Cards components are necessary and important if you want to use the key features of the FN.

    Notes; the TOSHIBA components common driver must be installed as the first because it is an essential component of Windows Vista. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.

    Satellite A200-175 belongs to the PSAE6 series. Then choose the right one and install it!

    Also, I just defragged my hard drive and the card reader can be seen at: http://www.seniorvalues.org/drive%20map.jpg
    I am curious about the above provision given that free space if 52%, but white space does not reflect this and there is a piece of defragmented files and folders around the middle of the big whitespace at the end of the training I was expecting to be adjacent to the last great defragmented file.

    I have 2 partitions on my unit. C for OS and D for the 3rd of data and files. In this case if I recover my unit only the first C partition will be formatted.
