  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 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-149: where a memory module?

  Hello

  I have a satellite M40X-149. I believe that my laptop has a faulty memory - gel randomly, sometimes will not start sound cmos etc. However when I opened the plastic lid it seems to be an empty memory slot. Assume that the memory is either on board or possibly under the keyboard as in some other models of Toshiba.

  Could someone tell me first where it is and also if it can be replaced. If it cannot be replaced, is it possible to disable it and use the empty accommodation?

  The machine is out of warranty so take it apart is not a problem

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Yes, you are right. The laptop supports 2 locations in memory, but only one is scalable user.
  This means that the other is hidden somewhere under the keyboard!
  But if you remove the keyboard or any parts, you will lose the warranty.
  Therefore the slot is called scalable user because the common user could insert the module without having to open Notepad.

  The laptop can be upgraded up to 2048 MB. If one slot can candle 1024Mo!

• Satellite M40x - where the memory?

  Hi all

  I want to improve my memory of 512 MB to 1.5 GB. I bought 1 G RAM and when I plugged in the screen become white and computer laptop does not work. RAM is fine. I have contact the technical service of the seller, and according to them I need to remove the old 512 MB of RAM and plugged it my 1 GB of RAM for my laptop recognize the new RAM.

  To do this, I opened my keboard and under what I can only find WLAN in the middle in the left there is another local network. and the far left, I see my DVD - ROM. On the right PC card and what is - this. I don't know where is the 512 MB RAM slot. It is there somewhere.

  Is there any expert who can tell me where to find 512 MB RAM slot?

  PS: I even call Toshiba support and they said sorry according to policy, we cannot tell you.
  If expert laymen captions please help me to solve this problem.

  Please

  I checked the manual of the Satellite M40x (it can be downloaded from the Toshiba site) and if you look at page 8-7 you can find a description of the memory upgrade.

  In my opinion the 512 MB that you already is a built-in RAM that can t be upgraded because the bottom of the laptop is on only one memory slot.

  However, I think that it is not a problem to use an additional RAM module, but maybe the new RAM is not compatible with your laptop.
  What type of memory you have bought exactly? Maybe you should try it with another.

  I hope I could help a bit.

Is someone can you please tell me what is wrong with him? Is the drive broken? Need to replace DVD/CD-RW with a new drive? Thank you.

  It is possible that your drive is broken.
  These problems usually occur because the lens of the player is unable to calibrate correctly.

• 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.

  Thank you.

  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? :)

• Sam L20-101 or satellite M40X-231? Need your opinion

  Hi, I'm looking for a laptop and I hesitate between the Satellite L20-101 and Satellite M40X-231. I am aware of the differences and would like to hear user experiences.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Well, I think, between these two units, there is no major differences. Both units have a size of drive HARD and similar memory. Only the graphics card has other performance. The L20 has a shared memory graphics card and the M40X has a graphics card with the chip memory own 64 MB. In this case, if you need this device for applications of high-performance graphics (games), I'd buy the M40X. Moreover, I like the nice design of M40X. She very nice unit s :)

• 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

• 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. ;)

• DVD player for Satellite M40X

  I have Toshiba Satellite M40X with DVD/CDR. can change the DVD/CDR on DVD-R/DVD-RW? Is it possible to find a job in a car?

  Hello

  I think that it should be possible to replace the disk. I don t see any difficulties, but you must take care about one thing.
  Slim drives support a fix master\slave\c-salt settings and you can not change with the rider as on desktop drives.

  In any case, in my manual, I found some compatible drives for my laptop.
  I think you will also find the compatible players and supported in your user manual.

  Have you checked it? If this isn't the case, you should do it.
