• Satellite M40x-189: on the HARD drive and graphics card update Question

  Hi people just a few quick questions.

  1. a second hard drive can I be mounted on the cell above?... it came with a 60 GB HARD drive
  graphics mobile geforce or ati 2. can / will be mounted instead of the integrated graphics card?

  the answers would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  It is not possible to upgrade or replace the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard. It s not the same technology as on desktop computers.
  Upgrading the HARD drive is something different. It of possible to replace the HARD drive to another. But before you replace the HARD drive, you must check if the HARD disk is compatible and if the BIOS will recognize.
  Sometimes the BIOS cannot recognize the hardest.

• 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.

• Black screen on Satellite M40-185

  After that a few months of problems with switch-offs sudden finally my Toshiba Satellite M40 - 185 is a black screen and it cannot do more. I have an external monitor, but it is also black.
  Should I try to get a new LCD inverter or leave the Toshiba service get it and look at the motherboard?
  Maybe its completely dead?

  Any help and suggestions welcome!
  Dimitris

  Hi Dimitris

  If the result is the same laptop computer s screen and external monitor it's probably serious hardware problem and fair service can help. I guess that the graphics card is the troublemaker and I fear that the motherboard must be exchanged.

  Of course, I can't say that for sure. Because of this that the technicians run diagnostic programs to see what is the problem with your laptop.

  Hello

  Try again with the Knoppix Live CD. I didn't try yet but I will do in the future. Get info on http://www.knoppix.org/

  By the way: If you want to use other BONES because of security or do some experiments, you can also try installing the virtual machine. A few days ago, I installed VMware Workstation. There, you can preinstall a few different operating systems and do what you want (Internet and so on).

• Satellite M40X - the noise of the fan

  Hi all.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X - 161 (PSM4XE).

  I had this problem with the fan of the computer running all the time and make a lot of noise because I bought a few years ago.
  Once I had the fan cleaned in the shop of service it was ok for a few days, and then he started again.

  Is there a solution for this problem? I read that Toshiba has released new versions of BIOS that solve this problem, but for laptops with ATI/nVidia video cards.

  I have an Intel card. Is there something for my model, and someone has fixed this?

  Hello

  Is not a friend of the problem.

  The cooling modules must be cleaned periodically. It s not enough clean the fans only once the dust appears more if it s necessary to regularly clean the cooling modules.

  You should also take a look in the power of the Windows operating system options.
  Most of the time it possible s control of the CPU performance and cooling performance that would reduce noise and fan activity.

• 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

  Please tell me how can I install 2 Os xp home edition and Windows 2003

  Thank you

  Hello

  This error message can occur if a hardware component malfunctions, or if it has installed the damaged or incompatible drivers.
  To resolve this issue remove additional memory modules that are installed on the computer, leaving only the minimum required for the computer to start and run Windows. Restart the computer to see if the error messages persist.

  This issue has been described on the Microsoft Web site.

  Hello

  In my opinion, you can find on the internet.
  -Acrobat reader can be downloaded from the internet.
  -DLA and recording is now installed on the original image.
  Java runtime environment 2 - Dim V1.5.0 you can also find on the net and install separately

  I hope that in Device Manager all hardware components are installed correctly.
  What you mean with the same error? Can you be more clear about this?

• 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

• Satellite M40X - 250 LAN card does not work

  Hello

  I have a portable Satellite M40X-250. For 3 days I couldn't connect to my router. LAN card is Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC I also installed Linux OS and he did. I use Win XP Pro.
  -J' have also installed new driver for the network card.
  -The firewall is disabled

  Can someone help me...

  Hi Erguder

  First of all, you must enter the Device Manager and check if there is a yellow exclamation point.
  If not, then I guess that the LAN driver has been installed successfully and that there must be another reason the failure of LAN.

  Please then check the properties of LAN. In the? General? tab you will find installed protocols. Please choose the TCP/IP Protocol and click Properties.
  All parameters (IP, DNS, getway, etc.) must be set on automatically.

  The other possibility is that there is something wrong with the router. Try to reset the router and check the settings.
