• 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. :)

• Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

  Hello

  The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

  Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

  Hi Richard,

  I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

• 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.

  Let us know if this is useful and how you...

• 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 A40-111 - 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

• Replace the drive DVD/CD-RW on my Satellite Pro A40

  Hello

  Does anyone know if a Toshiba DVD/CD-RW drive with model number SD-R2412 will be compatible with my Satellite Pro A40? If not, anyone know where I could find? Some muggins broke the CD drive on my laptop by bumping the case off a cargo cover. As a result, I can't claim on the warranty... statement of accidental damage... bah. :-(

  A friend of mine, think the new drive can need CSEL or M/S setting... What is it exactly and I need for an A40 Pro Sat? The laptop model number is PSA45E - 0184H - EN

  Thank you!!

  Hello

  Sorry, but I can't tell you which model will fit your laptop because there is not a public document on this subject. I know that your drive is set up and if the warranty is still valid you should not o alone because you can lose your warranty. I also found information that your device may also use a DVD-R, - RW drive. These types of information have all authorized partners. Try to contact them. I'm sure they can give you correct information on this subject.

• What is HD-maximum capacity for Satellite Pro A40?

  Hello together,

  I got a (PSA45E) Satellite Pro A40 and now I need a new hard drive.
  My question is now, what is the maximum capacity for a hd you can plug in and are very by the BIOS?

  Thanks in advance.

  Doc

  Hello

  I think this old laptop HARD drive with IDE interface, so I think the upgrade up to 120 GB should be possible. I think that 80 or 100 GB should be enough for this good old classic.

  I hope you aren't the guy who wants to have 500 GB. :)

• 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

• You are looking for an internal DVD drive for a Satellite Pro A40

  Hello

  I'm looking for an internal DVD burner for a model Satellite Pro A40 2.88 Celeron with a currently installed CD-RW/DVD-Rom. My mother is the owner of this laptop and I want to upgrade the drive for her.

  Does anyone here know of any number of model of the DVD-RW/CD-RW/DVD-Rom that is compatible with this model.

  I want the drive to function as a DVD-Rom/CD-RW also because I do not want to lose these features. Swap the bezel above if necessary isn't a problem for me.

  Thank you

  Hello
  For this particular model, I could not find another A40 Pro which has a DVD - RW, only DVD ROM. I also suggest to buy an external DVD - RW writer because an internal hard drive will cost much more. Probably triple what external there. External, you can find for about 50 but internal will cost at least about 90 more taxes. I'm sure it is internal that correspond to this machine, but at the moment I don't have the time to research each compatible model search of the car, it's why I suggest an external drive. I hope this helps.

• 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?
