• Satellite Pro A40 - how to turn on wireless?

  Hello

  I recently formatted and installed Windows XP Professional on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A40.
  But I can't understand how to activate Wifi on the computer.

  When I press FN + F8, nothing happens. All the drivers are installed properly, no errors appear in the Device Manager in Windows. Do I have to install specific drivers, like I used to use the other FN keys (I needed to install common Modules)?

  I also have a (Linksys Wireless - G WPC54G) PCMCIA card. When I put the card in the laptop, the power led flashes once, but also nothing happens. This card is not compatible with this laptop?

  Please can you give me some advice?

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Hey,.

  What is the card listed WLAN correctly in Device Manager? Or you see yellow exclamation points or unknown devices?

  Maybe you should try to update the WLAN driver. On the Toshiba site, you can find the most recent version.

  You should also tell us what happens if you search for your WLAN router. The WIFI connection is displayed in network connections?

  Hello

  As much as I know the of A40 Satellite Pro supports the Intel 852GME shared memory graphic card.
  S control Intel cards automatically memory allocation.

  This means that if the graphic card must more 16 MB of memory, the graphics driver will share the part of main memory!
  The whole process runs automatically and you do not need to change anything!

• Satellite Pro A40: How boot from CD?

  Hi all.

  I received an A40 to go there for a friend, and I'm fighting. He is currently a little cycling through the boot process. It does the same thing when I'm in the mode without failure of XP.

  In any case, I tried to run the recovery CD, but I can't to start their. I managed to get into the BIOS (hold the ESC key after turning on), but that only allows me to update the time system & the password (which is currently displayed in form "unregistered"). It shows the boot sequence in the HDD first, he performed successfully each time (but not far enough to be of any use). So, how to boot from a CD?

  I found an article for a 30 that said to press C during startup or the home screen Toshiba or F12 at the splash screen, but none of them seem to have no effect.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Pete

  Yes, you may be able to activate the start on-screen menu by pressing F12 immediately after switch on/off the laptop.
  The C button should also allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.

  Try this several times. Usually, this should work if a malfunction of the computer laptop doesn t.

• Satellite Pro A40 (PSA45E) - How to Exchange old HDD?

  The HARD drive in five years by Satellite Pro A40 daughter old died recently. What type of HARD drive replacement is supported by the BIOS or am I limited to the Toshiba MK4025 only?

  Also, does anyone have an idea how to open the case without causing too much damage to the tabs in plastic molded?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Theoretically, you can buy each HARD disk and it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive. But the uses of Satellite Pro A40 older hard drives with IDE interface as far as I know, and this means that you can not use hard s 128 GB drives or let due 120 GB limitation LBA 28 bits.
  120 GB would be the biggest HARD drive you can use.

  Normally, the HARD drive cover is only attached by two screws. Remove it, the cover and then to exchange the HARD drive.

• Satellite Pro A40-111 - Windows XP Pro Russia - how to change to Windows XP en

  Hi all

  I just bought the Satellite Pro A40-111, 2 days ago in Ukraine. Everything is OK except the OS, it is the version of WinXP Russia. I'm not one Russian or Ukrainian.

  Could Toshiba or someone could help me to config this OS to have the Interface in English WinXP?
  Please help me!
  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  for your Windows to speak another language, you need to go to stores and buy a Windows with this language. In your case, there is (at least not known to me) no way to change Windows English Russian Windows without having to reinstall the system from scratch - and not with an English Windows.

  When you do so, remember to add the drivers CD Utilties - and tools and in the exact order as described in the help on the CD HTML files.
  It is imperative to install drivers in the correct order to have the machine works correctly.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A40: TPSODDCtl.exe - Ordinal not found

  Hello

  I reinstalled my Toshiba Satellite Pro A40 with XP sp2.
  Since then, Power Saver have begun to return this error:
  «Application popup: TPSODDCtl.exe - Ordinal not found: the 21 ordinal not found in the library of dynamic links TPSMainCtl.dll.»

  I already removed energy saving and reinstalled again. Energy saving does not work well, m but every time this error apears I restart computer.

  Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

  Thank you for your attention.

  AF

  Hello AF

  It's really not easy to say how this problem can be solved. Usually the new facility could solve it. This kind of problems is not easy to repair on easy way. If you are a user with lots of experience I suggest you remove all records related to energy saving, even entries in regedit (be careful).

  Then, try again to install energy-saving. Sorry but I have no other suggestions.

  If you will be able to solve this problem please let me know.

• Satellite Pro A40 works now painfully slow

  Hi all, I have a satellite pro a40 which has served me well for a long time here.

  Although it runs painfully slow, now all the programs, including the internet despite my speed of 4 MB.

  I have zone alarm that made regular virus and spyware scans, I tried to defrag and disk clean up but not of the above solve the problem long term.

  Short of ideas, if anyone out there can suggest a remedy? Thank you.

  Hi Urbansafari,

  There are a few things you can try to improve the speed of your A40 - I guess you're talking about the speed (or lack thereof!) to which your laptop seems to be tasks such as opening new windows, programs etc.?

  The first thing to do is to look at the list of all programs start; Uninstall anything you don't need really or use is a good way of clutches back disk space (Windows uses hard disk as 'virtual memory' space to supplement the RAM mounted inside).

  The next thing to do is look at what programs are started in the background when you start Windows. To do this, click Start, then run and type msconfig. In the window that opens, click on the start right tab and you will see a drop-down list of all the programs that start with Windows. Without recognition program names, it may be best to leave them because they can be processes required by Windows. Uncheck all the programs you want to start automatically the next time you turn on the computer. When you are done, click on save and you will be prompted to restart the A40 for the changes to take effect.

  It is perhaps that a new installation of Windows is needed to delete all the temporary files and the old registry entries that have accumulated to over time, in which case backup all your data before running the recovery disc.

  One last thing to consider is the weather you may qualify for an upgrade memory HDD largest capacity, which are both reasonably good solutions worked for a slow running computer.

• Satellite Pro A40 psa45e - error code: what is the problem of flashing

  I just bought the laptop above Satellite Pro A40 (psa45e - 0184 h - en), which came with a generic power.
  The great laptop worked until the other night.

  The light on the power supply is on, output is 15 Volt, turns on the laptop at the front, an orange light comes on and blinks 5 then 2 then 1, I guess the 521 error code.

  Unplug everything and the light goes out then two green lights turns on, then laptop has started twice and started upward (running xp) but then freezes.

  I guess the power supply stopped working and the chip has noticed the problem.

  Can anyone confirm the fault error is feeding or is there something else wrong.

  Need to know before you buy the Toshiba power, I don't want to lose more money.

  Help, please...

  How much is your generic AC adapter?

  The amps must be the same or greater than what your laptop needs. You can view the Volts + Amp requirements based on the laptop (serial sticker).

  So if the laptop needs 15v 8A... you need a 15v 8A or 9A 15v or AC adapter / higher CC.

  If the amps are too weak, in the custom of mobile devices get enough power and could cause damage.

  You should get yourself a good Toshiba adapter for peace of mind. Cheap generics can be more trouble than they are worth.

• Need drivers XP for Satellite Pro A40

  Just do a fresh install of XP on a Satellite Pro A40 of second hand. Various onboard devices are not known (of in XP Device Manager) and I can't go through the process of "Install new hardware" that I don't have the drivers. The devices are mainly the Multimedia Sound Audio Card and the PCI Modem. I don't know what manufacturer made these, as XP ID device as unknown Manager.

  Anyone have any ideas or tips on how I can get the sound and PCI modem to work?

  (I'm not using the laptop for this message, even if it has access to the Internet).

  Thank you

  Looking for XP drivers?

  You can find all the XP drivers on the European driver Toshiba page!

  For the multimedia and Audio sound card, you need to install the audio driver and Modem PCI-> modem driver.

  You will find everything on the page of the driver.

  But note that buddy, there are also a few QFE Ms. This is usual Microsoft patches and fixes that are necessary and essential for the installation of the driver.

  Also check the Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update information. Sometimes the only drivers or utilities must be updated after the installation of service packs for MS!

• Satellite Pro A40 inside cleaning due to overheating problems

  Hi Forum,
  I want to clean my Satellite Pro A40 carefully inside due to overheating problems.

  Can someone provide me with a sort of manual how to open the SPA40 correctly resp. How to clean it.

  I think that indoor air to blow a few tablets will not solve the problem, there is a lot of dirt and dust inside.

  IWant to do myself, so please do not recommend you speak to a technical expert.

  Thanxx in advance...

  Hello

  > I want to do it myself, so please don't recommend me to contact a technical specialist.

  In my own opinion, generally it s not a bad suggestion if some advises to contact a technician for laptop to a radiator cleaning because the dismantling of most of the computers mobile new generation is very delicate and not easy. Mostly one or the other has no experience and in this case, it is best contact an ASP to help him try to clean the laptop and probably damage parts.
  If the warranty is valid such procedure will void the warranty

  But don t worry buddy ;) I'll try to help you as much as I can
  I have goggled a bit and found it nice [statement | http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA45/Satellite-A45-remove-hinges-1.htm] how to disassemble the Satellite A45.
  The A45 is very similar to the A40 and so pictures of the laptop must be the same.

  Step 4 (photo) and step 5 shows the dirty radiator and how to remove it.
  You do not need to disassemble the laptop full but only the radiator at the bottom of the unit cover.

  Notes; Always be careful and don't use force to remove anything ;) and you know everything you do are at your own risk

  I hope I could help. Best regards and Merry Christmas ;)

• Change HDD on Satellite Pro A40

  Hello!

  I have a hard drive dead in my Satellite Pro A40, and I would like to replace it.
  Please tell me which model suits me. The size of 40 to 80 GB hard drive.

  Thank you!

  This old model was offered with 30 GB, 40 GB or 60 GB HDD. In my opinion you shouldn't have any problem, upgrade with 80 GB or even with max 100GB / 120 GB HDD.

  For example check please model Toshiba MK1032GAX. It is the old model with IDE interface and must be perfect for your machine.

  Incidentally: of course this old piece of equipment can scale up to 2 GB of RAM. How do you currently use? What operating system do you use?
  Sorry for the question, but it really is fascinating that many people still use old machines WXP. :)
