Satellite Pro A40: Why are graphics drivers the expired

I have a Satellite of the A40 Pro with onboard Intel 82852/82855 graphics. the current graphics driver on the Toshiba site is 6.13.10.3514 (dated December 19, 2003), but the current driver for the graphics card is 6.14.19 * (as dated February 8, 2006).

I tried to install the software pivot for a monitor external, and to update the graphics drivers, so I downloaded drivers from the Intel site reference. They refused to install, so I checked the Toshiba site.

The question is, why are the drivers of Toshiba so obsolete, and is there the intention to be updated in the near future?

Hi David

Very good question. I also wonder why some graphics card drivers are outdated.
I read many comments in this forum, and it seems that the graphics drivers from Toshiba are not similar with the original manufacture graphics cards drivers.
Graphics drivers from Toshiba are a bit changed. The graphics on laptops are different than the desktop graphics cards. Maps of the laptop is not a clean cooling module and so the pilots control performance and heat production.

Sometimes different laptops are delivered with the same graphic card. In this case, it's a good idea to check the other drivers that are designed for different laptops with the same graphic card

  • Satellite Pro A40 can't connect to the WLan using the Win XP

    Hi all

    Newbie on your site so thank you in advance for your answers ;-)

    Picked up a Toshiba Satellite Pro A40, completely formatted and installed a legal XP Pro.

    Trying to connect to the internet using a Netgear wg511 card works on my other laptop, it will not connect even though I installed the driver for it?

    It comes up with 'limited or no connectivity problem occurred because the network has not assigned a network address of the computer.

    Any ideas please?

    Thanks Mike

    Hello

    First of all, you must update the WLan driver.
    I put t know what wireless network card has been installed, but you can find WLan card details in Device Manager-> network adapters.

    In addition, I recommend to disable all the security settings on the router and then try to connect to the wireless network.
    If you will be able to connect to the Wlan, you can enable security settings (Wlan encryption, mac address filtering, firewall, etc.) again.

    Last but not least, you can try to use this command in a DOS (CMD)
    Ipconfig / renew

    Hello

    What graphics card was installed in this oldie?

    I don t think that Toshiba provides Win ME drivers for this device, and so you should Google in the internet for the graphics driver.

    Jay

    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!

  • Disconnected radio on map Wifi mini-PCI in Satellite Pro A40.

    I installed a card Atheros Wifi Mini-PCI (marked Toshiba, model AR5004G) in my Satellite Pro A40. Pilots of the section of downloads on the A40 Toshiba support site installed fine, and everything seemed to work. But the card could not find my wifi network at home (I rigged the antennas to test, before taking the trouble to install in laptop).

    Atheros client reported that the radio has been turned off and gave the solution like him allowing the use of the customer. But the enable and disable options are grayed out outside in the client. I took a peek in the bios of the A40 (latest version 1.50) and there is no option to turn on the radio. The FN + F8 key on the keyboard (which has a small icon of wifi on him) has also not made any difference.

    To check that it wasn't the card, I have two-way autour cards from my other laptop. The new PCI card has worked well in the Acer while the former, one of the Acer is also off in Satellite Pro.

    Does anyone have an idea on how to get the Sat Pro to switch on the map?

    Hello

    I checked the specifications Satellite Pro A40 and it seems that the WLan functionality is not available on this laptop.
    Is - this laptop has a WLan switch on/off switch on the side of the laptop?

    If this isn't the case, you cannot activate the antenna and so you cannot receive any signal!
    It seems that you must use an external USB WiFi key.

  • Satellite Pro A40 guard stop with the ATI driver error message

    My girls having some problems with her laptop and get back to Uni at the end of week for me to have a look on.

    Basically, he keeps closing sometimes with an ATI graphics driver error message. I had updated the memory last Christmas and resinstalled from scratch.

    My first impressions are it is overheating and I probably need to clean the fan, was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

    Thank you very much
    Keith (South end)

    Satellite Pro A40 is about 3 years old and it is possible that the unit needs to be cleaned. If the appliance is used intensively, I assume that there is more dust inside. By overheating of the appliance stops suddenly without any warning.

    As a first step the device. I don't know if it's the right idea to do it alone, but if you are familiar with laptops, you can give a try. After having done that, your daughter should carefully watch what happens the next few days.

  • Cannot find drivers for Vista for Satellite Pro A40

    I have the Toshiba Satellite Pro A40.
    I find no drivers for the Vista operating system installed recently, or find a way to report directly to Toshiba.
    Seeking advice.

    Hello

    You can find some Windows 2 k and drivers for the Satellite Pro A40 XP in Toshiba Archive area.

    As you can see this series of mobile could be found in the area of the Archive because it s an old model of laptop. Because this series is a little older Vista drivers are not available and if you want to use the Vista on satellite Pro A40 then you have to collect the Vista drivers at your own hand.

    Good luck

  • 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!

    Good bye

  • 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 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.

  • 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.
