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

Nothing

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 L40 - 18Z - how to turn on wireless?

    I have Satellite L40 - 18Z running Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

    I've had a few cases where the wireless seems to have failed. On this instance, the LED at the front does not shine despite the switch is either off or on position. I checked the network card settings and it is activated. I have disabled/enabled the adapter, but without success. I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver - with no success. I checked for the latest drivers, but they are already installed.

    I also deleted and reinstalled the adjacent wireless card to memory, there still without success. The network and sharing Center diagnosis indicates only that the without wire must pass away - but I am unable to do so.

    Any advice would be welcome. Thank you.

    Hello

    The WIFI connection can be activated in different ways: with the hardware switch you have ever tried and key combination FN + F8.
    So have you activated the wireless network card by pressing FN + F8?

    From my own experience, I can say that the WLAN led is only if you use this key combination too.
    Check this box!

    In addition, you wrote on reinstall drivers WLAN you have installed you exactly? The most recent and pre-tested WLAN drivers, you can find the Toshiba site.

    Last but not least, I also updated the BIOS, if nothing else works.

  • Satellite Pro A40 fell on the wireless network card; Damaged PCMCIA slot

    This morning my Satellite Pro A40 (Celeron 2.6) fell 40 cm. He fell right on the wireless network card that has been inserted. This card is still alive and so is the rest of the laptop, but the PCMCIA location is little damaged. I can insert PC cards almost completely, just the last piece (when the pins are) wrong.

    I removed the cover near the CPU, and there, I could see the inside PCMCIA slot; I could see the main part and the last part where the pins are. That little part as is pushed upward, as you can see in the pictures.

    I think I'd be able to fix myself this PCMCIA slot, but I can't remove it. I removed all the screws on the rear plate, but he is still blocked.

    Pics:

    PCMCIA slot

    The PCMCIA location; on the left, you will see the part with the pins, which is pushed upward. It's also what I see when I look at the pins in the PCMCIA slot. as they are pushed down, but I don't think they are folded.

    Wireless network card

    Wireless network card; It is a little damaged but it still works.

    Does anyone have an idea how I can remove the back plate, or another way to remove the PCMCIA slot and fix it?

    Hi Steve

    Well, I can give t well you not answer how you can just remove the PCMCIA slot.
    There are a lot of screws and to my knowledge, it is necessary to remove all covers and screws that are placed at the bottom of the unit and inside under the keyboard.
    Please check this specific device. Perhaps you have overlooked a few screws.

    But if it is impossible to remove the PCMCIA slot of the unit, I recommend to ask the service partner for a detailed instruction.

    Good luck

    Good bye

  • 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.

    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!

    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
