• Audio does not work on Satellite M40X-184

  Hello

  N Malgas Johannesburg South Africa here.

  I picked up a virus on my Satellite M40X-184 that weaken my audio device drivers.
  Relaoded Windows XP Home Edition and Audio devices still does not.
  Looking for a way to reload the drivers.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  I think in the first place, you should check in Device Manager if no yellow exclamation point is visible. This could help you know whether or not the audio driver has been installed correctly.

  You will find the page of the Toshiba Realtek driver audio v5.10.00.5740.-T
  You must first uncompress it before starting the installation. You can perform the installation of the audio driver also from Device Manager

  After installing the driver of its success, you should look in the audio and audio devices. This option is located in the control panel.

  Check if the "secret" was not enabled and go through the unique volume controls and set it to a higher level.

  Good luck

• Satellite M40X-112: password of HDD in Bios

  Hello

  I have a laptop M40X-112. I activated the password for HARD drive in the BIOS. How safe is it? The HARD disk can be read in another PC? -What are the data encrypted on the HARD drive? Regardless of the method is used?

  This text has been translated by Google, I hope it's okay...

  Sincerely

  Hello

  HARD drive password is stored in the drive itself.
  Thus, even the HARD drive unit is deleted from a computer and attached to the other, the HARD drive password is needed to access.

• Satellite M40X-184: problem with keyboard - only writes a character in 1 second

  Hello

  There is an interesting problem with my laptop, it cams with Xp Home edition with 1 partition, I used partition magic to create another and then format C:, after installation of XP Pro. Install drivers one by one, now when I try to write something in anywhere like msn, notepad or Word, she wrote just a character in 1 second;

  Like when I write "trial" he write in 5 seconds... Why what happened and above all how can I work this?

  Hello

  have you tried to uninstall the pilot how you installed? Maybe you should do this, I think it's probably just a software problem and no hardware failure.
  So you can also try to set the rate of your keyboard type in Control Panel-> keyboard control-> (delay repeat, repeat rate) and maybe it s just there a setting that needs to be corrected.

• Satellite M40x - 184 question on screen

  Hello I recently noticed that when I use normal mode or long-term my noteboook screen make a quiet noise
  and I want to ask you guys what is normal.

  Thank you very much

  Szczepaan

  Hi Tom

  It's normal, and you can hear it just enough ambient calm. I noticed the same thing on my Tecra. I'm not a technician but I think the supply voltage must be reduced by an electronic part and it produces that sound.

  If the brightness of the LCD screen is set to the maximum level the sound disappears.

• Satellite M40X Maximum HDD capacity

  I want to install a new HDD for my Satellite M40X.

  I tried using a 160 GB HARD drive, I copied the partitions, but the HARD drive does not start... I copied the C partition to check the copy procedure, an old 30 GB player and this player is able to start.
  What is taken as supported by the BIOS HARD drive size?

  Hello!

  As far as I know that the Satellite M40x is equipped with an IDE HDD, and so it has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. Which means that it will only support hard drives 120 GB.
  On the limitation of the LBA, you can read more here: [www.48bitlba.com]

  So in your case, I'd bought a 120 GB and it should work fine. Check it!

  Good bye

• 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.

  The product recovery disc image file.
  The image is a package that contains the Windows OS, drivers Toshiba, tools and additional software.

  So using the recovery disk reformatted HDD books and set the laptop back to factory settings. Using the recovery disk is a simpler and faster way to get installed a new OS!

• 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!

  Denise.

  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
