• 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

  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 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 defective

  Since the GPU is a part of the mobo, you need to replace the motherboard that can be a costly affair

• Satellite M40X-230: the display will not stay in position

  Laptop - satellite m40x - 230

  Can someone help me, when I opened my laptop the movements of the screen on the hinges back about an inch freely instead of being closed, is anyway it can be tightened?

  Is the case please let me know.

  See you soon

  Hello

  I suppose that the left or right hinge becomes tense and so the lid doesn't it stay the right position.
  Unfortunately, I n t think you can resolve it the other side.
  I think that the hinges need to be replaced. Try to contact Toshiba service partner in your country.

• The user guide for a satellite M40X-230?

  Hello

  The screen must be replaced on my Toshiba Satellite M40X-230, and that I was looking for an online version (pdf) of the manual for it (as it's second hand so I do not have the documents to toshiba) I need basically mainly for an overview of how the screen of the laptop computer is equipped, I was wondering if anyone can link me to it if they know where abouts it is because I checked the site Web of Toshiba and my model is not listed when I just try to get it.

• Satellite M40X-230 turns off randomly

  Hello

  My satellite m40x-230 is about 2 years old. Recently, power has been cut out completely Mid-use - for example I watch a movie and suddenly everything power to cancel - it is connected through the ESA and the battery is connected when this happens. If I unplug the AC and the battery and wait a while, then ac and battery back, I can to come back on and it works very well for a while.

  Can anyone suggest what the problem please?

  Thanks in advance.

  Not easy to say with certainty what the problem may be but let us start with an innocuous explanation: I think that this happens due to overheating. Obviously the material temperature has reached the critical level and the laptop turns off simply without any warning.

  It is because of the material. Because of this, the first step, you can do is to clean your laptop. I guess that after two years, there is a lot of dust on the inside and the air flow is blocked.

• Satellite M40x-230 - YouTube videos is not continuous

  Since the purchase of the satellite M40x-230 in 2005, he was never able to play online or off connection permanently in the video, the video stops to load a few seconds to a minute, about 10 to 20 seconds. In this case you were using itunes, windows media player or winamp.

  I downloaded the latest version of Adobe flash, but I'm not sure that there is an error with the laptop itself. The operating system has been reinstalled several times but the problem remains. I don't have this problem on a new netbook from toshiba.

  The information system are:
  Windows XP SP3 operating system,
  Intel (R) Pentium (R) M processor clocked at 1.86 GHz,
  512 MB of RAM.
  Graphics - unknown

  I would appreciate any information that might lead to a solution for this.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  I put t know which videos you look, but perhaps that you have to install a new codec pack. Just use Google to find these codec packs.

  In addition, I recommend VLC media player. It s a freeware player that can play most audio and video files. It s freeware! :)

• Satellite M40X-230 memory upgrade

  Upgrade memory

  I have a satellite M40X-230, most of the documents indicate that it is expandable up to 2 GB of RAM.
  On the underside there a memory expansion slot which will have a 1 GB SODIMM, giving me a total of 1.5 G bytes of RAM.

  Is it possible to add the other 500 MB. (I'm experimenting with Virtual Machines and data bases)

  In case anyone is interested!

  There is a module in memory of 500MByte located on top of the motherboard. Unfortunately this is mounted internally in the case.
  It is located below and slightly to the right of the center of the keyboard.
  However, the casting of the cover of the laptop cover electronics and so it is not accessible by simply removing the keyboard. the top cover should be thrown which also consists of removing the screen.

  Otherwise, the module is mounted in exactly the same type of socket than under the machine.

• Satellite Pro A10 - 3mm thickness vertical line on screen

  I have a thick vertical line of 3mm on the screen seems to come up in colors, it generally moved to gray.

  The display was damaged - or is this some sort of driver problem.

  Hello

  It looks like a hardware malfunction. UPS may be a FL. But I m not 100% sure.
  What you can do? Well, if it's really a hardware fault so the only way is to contact Toshiba service. But it could also be a strange software problem. In this case, the best way is to recover the operating system and/or update the graphics driver. You can also check your BIOS version. If there is a newer version, then try to upgrade the version of the BIOS.
  But if the material is broken, then contact ASP.

• Scrambled screen & colors is not consistent on satellite M40X-230

  Hi, I have a M40X-230, a few weeks ago, I started to see a garbled screen where colours were not consistent and the screen looked as if she was chopped vertically in 3 and all three parts were in and out of the other mixture.

  It lasted about 10-15 minutes and he persisted through reboot. However, this would not happen whenever the machine has been used. After another week or so when the machine is started, even the Toshiba splash screen is cut as described above, this continues when the config in the BIOS (press F12 at startup).

  The machine is able to boot in safe mode, but the same problem occurs and when an external monitor is attached the problem is visible on the attached screen as well.

  Anyone seen this before? All the tips, I think it's my graphics card or perhaps the LCD, but really not sure.

  Hi mate,

  This sounds like a hardware malfunction cleary. If you already have the symptoms to the toshiba logo, then I would recommend you to contact emergency an ASP for a checkup of material because this error cannot be resolved with an update of the bios/software.

• Dell Latitude E6400 LCD / LED video screen has partial display of vertical lines

  Hello

  I have a Dell Latitude E6400 on which display LED screen / video shows the stable vertical lines in the right half of the screen (partial view on the left side is good, see photo). I have already tested the external VGA port - it is displayed correctly on an external LCD display. The vertical lines are constant and the same brightness, regardless of the position of the lid of the laptop. This could be a problem with the inverter or the water of the LED screen? Or something else? Thanks in advance for any comments.

  P. S. Please note that glow Golden on the top left of the screen is just a reflection of ambient light.

  

  It is not the inverter (assuming that the display has a);  who simply controls the backlight.  It may or may not be the cable - it's not likely.  It resembles a billboard damaged.

• Re: Satellite P300-156 - grainy display and vertical lines on it

  Hello

  whenever I have 1st start of the machine, the screen looks grainy and with 1 green line vertically down the right side of the LCD screen.

  When Vista is finished startup (with my white screen), there are a lot of pink coluring on the icon, when I press "start" and it displays programs, etc., the abckground is all pink! Also the web cam settings/opener popup displays the same.

  To get rid off this, I restarted the machine and everything if fine. It is the only way to rectify.

  Last week, I tried again to look into the problem...

  I changed the LCD, drive hard (updated to 320 GB) and updated the BIOS with the latest version of this site. Now it wil has always do the same thing, but after 30 seconds (or almost) it is automatically sorts.

  I really think this sort want someone at - it ideas?

  Thanks in advance!

  Maybe the BIOS update solved the problem. ;)
  Anyway watch carefully what happens in the future.

• Satellite P100-276 - 1 pixel vertical line

  Help, please.

  My Satellite P100-276 always shows a white * vertical *, screen of approximately 1/3 from the right side.
  Changing the resolution of the screen does not change the width of the line.
  Even at startup before Windows is active.
  A screenshot does NOT have this line.

  Unfortunately, the line appeared just after the warranty period.
  Does anyone have experience similar and/or solved this problem?

  Any suggestion, the solution or the experience is welcome!

  Hello

  Hmm, it seems to be a malfunction in the internal display hardware maybe. Have you checked an external monitor on the laptop? You may notice the same question it?

  I think the display internal or the motherboard needs to be replaced. The best way is to contact the local authorized maintainer and ask for help. Technicians can share screen or on another party.

  Good luck!

• Re: Satellite A500 - 15 M - blue vertical line appears on the LCD screen

  Hi - I turned on my laptop the other day (I have an A 500 - 15M) and I noticed a very thin dotted vertical blue line running through the centre-right of the screen of my computer, all the way up and down.

  I tried things like change the desktop theme, screen settings, updated to the intel drivers but nothing is done, it won't go away. Does anyone have a solution or a similar problem? I bought an extended warranty of 3 years so could still call Toshiba and ask them about it, but wanted to see if there was a quick fix here of someone.

  I tried to restore to a previous restore point, but nothing helped.

  Help please, because it is very annoying!

  Thank you very much!

  Hi bilal1982,

  Hmm, it seems to be a hardware malfunction with your laptop

  I mean that if you tried to update the driver display and restored Windows to an earlier point, but without success, it seems that the graphics card or LCD screen is defective.
  You can connect an external monitor to check if it of the graphics card or internal LCD screen.

  But in both cases you should contact a provider authorized in your country. Guys can fix your laptop under warranty, so it of free for you.

  Here is a list of aspic, where you can search:
