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.

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 ManagerAfter 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

If you are running Windows XP, then it's quite normal that your hard drive show activity from time to time. You will have several active processes running that will periodically access the hard disk.
You can also have background tasks that will periodically throw in life and cause a disk access activity.

Satellite M40 184 - Question on battery and speakers
Hello everyone.
A few months ago, I bought a laptop (M40-184), which uses the harman Kardon speakers. I have two questions to ask you.
1. the battery does not work for more than 1 hour (when the laptop is any more, or when internet explore is enabled). There are no other programs running. I think that this is not normal. What can I do? I'll be back there?
2. speakers are a strange low frequency noise, when I'm listening to music or watching DVDs. It doen not to be little heavy or something. It was supposed to be a very good pair of speakes.
What can I do?Thanks in advance
Hello
Usually battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
If you use a high performance such as 3d graphics tools tools, games or watch DVDs battery working time goes down.
But if you only use the explore IE the battery should work more than 1 hour. In this case I think that it s a battery failure. If you need to contact the ASP for the replacement of the battery.
In addition you must always remove the battery from the unit if the power adapter is plugged.2.) as far as I know that the Toshiba Virtual sound utility is preinstalled on his unit. Here, you can change some sound settings. Maybe you can solve the problem with the speakers.
Best regards

Satellite M40x-149 - Question about RAM upgrade
Currently, I have 512 MB of RAM and want to upgrade. The jury of the RAM has two screws, should I take this and replace it with an upgrade of RAM, or leave the original in and put the new in the slot on top?
Thank you.
Hi RareOz,
The amount of RAM you want after upgrade?
If you want a maximum of 1 GB of RAM for example, you can leave the original RAM in and buy 512 MB additional RAM.But as far as I know M40x supports up to 2 GB of RAM, and that's why it would be necessary to install the module of RAM of 1 GB in each slot. That's why you need two new modules.
The specification is PC2700 SO - DIMM DDR - RAM.

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.Welcome them

LCD screen turns off without reason - Satellite M40X
I have a problem with my laptop Satellite M40X, I work when the LCD turn off and I hear two PIF. To turn on the LCD screen I need to restart the laptop, but the problem persists after a few minutes.
Can someone help me, please.
Hello
Here you can compare the version of the BIOS installed on the laptop with the one published on the page of the Toshiba driver.
If you use the older BIOS, you can try to update. Maybe the update will sort this strange behavior.But there could also be a hardware malfunction if the BIOS update does not help.

Satellite M40X Screen Display problem
My Satellite M40X has a black vertical line which occupies 20% of the screen on the left side. The rest of the screen shows a full view. Change the display settings makes no difference, and there is no mention of this error in the manual. You don't know whether a problem with the LCD screen or a problem with the adapter and drivers. Wanted to check if someone has experienced something similar and can advise you.
Hello
Check using an external monitor.
If the same vertical line would be seen on the external monitor, an internal graphics card problem may be possible
In this case replace the defectiveSince the GPU is a part of the mobo, you need to replace the motherboard that can be a costly affair
