• How to partition the hard drive in my satellite M40X-189?

  Please can you advise the team?
  I would like to have the operating system and application programs in a partition and the data I've created in another partition.
  Please can I have advice from the team?
  Has anyone partitioned the hard drive on their satellite M40X-189 and what software did you use to do the partitioning?
  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.
  TIA

  Hello

  I use partition magic to create and manage new partitions. In my opinion it of the best tool if you want to work with partitions.
  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.

  Good bye

• Cannot download Adobe Flash Player on satellite M40X-189

  I'm unable to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on my satellite M40X-189.
  This is necessary for many applications and recently became absolutely essential that BBC radio broadcasts now only on the internet via BBC i-player I can't use without Flash Player.

  I searched for help on this problem awhile and advice then was that the BIOS update.
  I checked today with the official website of Toshiba, and it seems that my BIOS is the current version and does not update.

  Is there someone out there who can help me solve this problem?

  Thank you very much

  Hi dude

  Update the BIOS just only because you are not able to download the flash player?
  Are you kidding me?

  Why you n t try to download adobe flash player from other pages?
  There are many 3rd party pages that can be used for adobe flash player download

• 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

• Satellite M40x-189 heats up when it is connected to the power adapter

  Hey,.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M40x-189, which is about 18 months old. Recently, I had too replace the battery, but now it seems that my adapter had fried itself. He refuses now too charge my cell phone for more than a few minutes and the part of the adapter that goes into the laptop becomes ridiculously hot even after a few minutes.

  I can't find where too much to buy a new adapter, I get results, but adapters look totally different, can anyone tell me if Toshiba has changed the cards and where too find a power adapter.

  This may help - adapter PA1650 - T 02:100 - 240V AC 50-60 Hz 65W / 3 pins with 19V DC output.

  Also, I find that on the occasions, my laptop just cut. In the middle of everything what I do, and the laptop itself would become so hot, it can't be touched for a few minutes, interestingly, this only happens when the laptop is charging. This problem is not related too my adapter problem, because its been happening for a good month now.

  Thank you, in advance.

  Hello

  I saw your first thread on the power adapter and that other users already suggested the power adaptor can be ordered from the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country!
  If you n t know how to find the service provider allowed in your country, please take a look on the homepage of European support of Toshiba. You will find a link to the database ASP.

  As you have already said the laptop automatically stops downs have nothing to do with the AC adapter.
  I agree with you for me, it looks like overheating!
  Usually, this happens if fans and cooling modules cannot run with maximum efficiency.
  Dust may prevent the complete rotating fan!

  I recommend to use the vacuum against the bars of cooling hose to clean the fans!
  It should help!
  But please be careful.

  I don't know what drivers/utilities, I need to download and install from Toshiba download drivers web site.

  Y at - it something like a list or instructions anywhere that details what drivers/utilities are required to make all the "bits" are working on a new laptop loaded Windows. ?

  Any help would be invaluable.

  Best regards

  Hello

  All the drivers are located on the European driver Toshiba page.
  The laptop model is mentioned on the label located on the bottom of the unit.
  Choose the right laptop and install all the drivers/tools on the page of Toshiba.

  The M40x is a bit older so search the Archives of the driver page!

  PS: you can see some details on the pilots or the tool in addition to information. He of always right!

• Need for satellite M40X-189 product recovery CD

  I lost my CD of recovery of Windows XP Home Edition that was given with my Toshiba Satellite M40X-189 model and my operating system broke down and I am very helpless.

  I bought in Edinburgh, UK and unfortulately currently I am living in INDIA. Customer service in India have said that they can not help me in this regard.

  Please someone help me with this problem. Any suggestions to get my product recovery CD.

  Thank you.
  Sandeep

  Hello

  I think that you´re in serious trouble now. If you have ever tried to get a recovery, unfortunately without success to an ASP, you will need to buy one in the United Kingdom.
  It would be best to contact a partner registered in the city of you´ve bought the machine and ask them for a replacement of your lost recovery.

  Any better idea´s? :)

• Upgrade of RAM for satellite M40X-189

  Hello

  I think the upgrade from my memory of the laptop.

  I wonder if I can use Kingston KTD-INSP5150 / 1 G instead of KTT3311/1 G? They are all two PC2700 200-pin DDR SODIMM 333 MHZ but KTD-INSP5150 / 1 G is mainly used for other laptops.

  Someone sell KTD-INSP5150 / 1 G on good price reasonable but do not know if it is compatible?

  Thank you

  Hi momer79,

  Above all Equium M40x can be upgraded to 2 GB of memory. You need to the MMAR DDR SO-DIMM modules with specification PC2700. You can use up to 1 GB in each of the slots.

  Furthermore, I checked the Web of Kingston site because it has Configurator memory. If you are looking for satellite M40x-189, you will get two compatible memory modules:
  KTT3311A/512 (512 MB SO-DIMM)
  KTT3311A / 1 G (1 GB SO DIMM)

  So in your case I would buy one or two of these modules because they seem to be compatible with your computer satellite phone. ;)

• Satellite M40X-189 - screen is white but outdoor work

  Hello, I have a satellite M40X-189 PSM4ZE
  with a white screen.

  My problem:
  When I start the laptop I just swith without any kind of photo,
  If I use an external monitor, I have a picture.

  When I open the device all the contacts appear to be good.

  What can be the problem, and what should I fix or change?

  Regards, Heiko (Germany)

  I think the best way is that you pass to a local ASP.

  On your laptop there is something wrong with the LCD or the cable and maybe the motherboard also. If a technician should check this and he can exchange all necessary parts for you.

  Here, you can search an ASP:
