• Update of the question on Satellite Pro L40 - 15A - old BIOS BIOS cannot recognize the EEPROM

  Hello

  I can't Flash my bios.
  I have a Satellite Pro L40 - 15A.

  The Toshiba winflash tool provided with the bios file tells me as the "old BIOS cannot recognize EEPROM.

  I was recommended to use AFUDOS on another forum, but telling me that the bios has a boot not block valid.

  Flas for back FRIEND tells me that the flash rom is write-protected? There is no option in the bios to disable and I don't think that anyone would be stupid enough to put a hardware Bios protect jumper on a laptop.

  Help, please

  Dear Bruce

  Can you please tell me what you want to do and explain us it please your steps to update the BIOS of your laptop Satellite Pro?

  I did the update of BIOS more than 20 times in the last month and I really wonder what you mean with terms such as EEPROM or AFUDOS. What BIOS update version that you want to use? I assume as 5.10. Am I wrong?

• Can I upgrade the CPU T2310 Satellite Pro L40 - 15A series laptop PC?

  Hi, (I apologize if this has been asked before, but when I search 'Satellite pro l40 series' I couldn't find any relevant response)

  I've been looking around the net & found contradictory answers to this question so far, so I hope that this forum may be able to help.

  I have a 15 D portable computer Satellite pro L40 and I want to upgrade the processor Intel Pentium Dual-Core 1.46 Ghz T2310 an Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4300 2.1 GHz 1 MB 800 CPU or something similar.

  I found the following issues http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Toshiba-Satellite-L40-14N-Notebook.7294.0.html

  "f consider you a CPU upgrade, there is not a lot of options." The Intel GL960 value express notebook chip supports only up to FSB 533 Mhz processors. So, does not allow most of the Core 2 Duo CPU update (with 667 MHz). "

  But then, I also read that the GL960 can run 800 MHz processors?

  I also asked the question on ebay to the seller of the CPU T2310 & received this response

  «SHOULD be OK, but your T2310 533 Mhz FSB and the T4300 has 800 Mhz.»

  Motherboards intel more modern should easily accept a 800 mhz cpu, but I cannot guarantee. May be an idea to see if you can find out if there are other models of Toshiba L40, also with 800 mhz chip, because it would be a good indicator.

  And if I can't pass a T2310 because of the 800 mhz too is their a 533 mhz cpu that will be compatible & more powerful for audio production that my current Ghz CPU T2310 1.46.

  I've only had this PC 4 years again, it seems not to be very mobile friendly if this resource could not be designed to handle upgrades.

  Thanks for the tips.

  Problem is that upgrading the CPU is not taken in charge and everything you do is at your own risk.

• Satellite Pro L40 PSL43E I need to find all the drivers XP

  I need to find all the XP drivers for this laptop in particular. Any ideas where I can find them. on this site, I get only the ' how downgrade "Pease help ASAP.

  If these drivers are available, you will be able to find these drivers on the European driver Toshiba page.

  If the drivers are not available on the European driver Toshiba page, the pilots were not released.

  But I have a suspicion; I found some XP for Sat L40 series drivers. Some series supports the same devices and so the drivers should work also.
  Check some unique XP from different L40 series drivers and maybe he would go.

  Check with the manufacturer of your system, their books online and their forums (if any) than

  I am no newbie: with these laptops, this is the first and only 2 has no BIOS updates, more than 100 + modernization successful in my career!

  Here, I sketch the history with the my two Satellite Pro L40 - 15A (PSL4BE).

  Cell phone 1:
  a. BIOS 1.60
  b. upgrading to Windows * XP * to 5.50 _For Windows XP_
  c. programme stop the PC from the start, with a progress remains empty bar!
  d. first boot in the BIOS showing version 5.50 (!), but then: dead (black screen)
  e. taken for an ASP.
  f. after 15 minutes and for as little as 35 it has been resolved, and BIOS updated to 2.00
  g. explanation of the ASP guy was it was my fault, because since the laptop is with Vista installed, I couldn't do a upgrade the BIOS of XP!
  h. sold the laptop with BIOS 2.00

  Laptop 2:
  a. BIOS 1.60
  b. upgrade of Windows * Vista * to 2,00 _For Windows Vista_
  c. programme stop the PC from the start, with a progress remains empty bar!
  d. but the laptop still and always boots with BIOS 1.60.
  e. upgrade to Windows * XP * at 5.50 _For Windows XP_ (I know, I was really looking for troubles, uh?)
  f. first boot in the BIOS showing version 5.50 (!), but then: dead (black screen) (as 1 laptop)
  g. tried every combination of secret keys, CD, USB, floppy drive, but nothing could do the trick to force a BIOS loading, as the ASP was indeed able to do with my laptop 1!
  h. read 'notuagain' contribution to the forum thread [here | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=47887&tstart=0], and it worked.
  i. but now, the laptop still has BIOS 1.60

  Any ideas out there?

  Hello

  Here you can find the traditional versions of updated BIOS for this laptop model:

  http://rapidshare.com/files/415039409/BIOS-5.5-psl4be-XP.zip.html

  So you can update the BIOS using a USB bootable or external USB FDD drive.

• Installation of WXP Pro on Satellite Pro L40-15 has

  Hello

  Just got a Satellite Pro L40 - 15A, its currently got vista home on that and I'll have a go at put WXP Pro on it. Anyone who has tried this? First thing that I'm doing, is integrate the SATA drivers in Windows XP Home edition with nlite. Got Intel Matrix storage drivers which I assume are the right ones. One else you have that works? Also, I've seen there are a few updates to the BIOS, anyone put these yet? Are these worth it, updated the BIOS always makes me nervous!

  Hello

  It doesn´t matter which model, because you can use the users for EACH model installation instructions. So, just pick up all the necessary drivers and install XP as the guy described it.
  I did it on a Satellite A100 and it works like a charm. :)

• Problem with the software Modem on Satellite Pro L40

  I tried to set up a connection Dial-Up Networking on a Satellite Pro L40 running Vista and can't get the modem to talk to the modem from the ISP. The connection appears OK and then you can hear the modem dial, but when the ISP picks up there is a bit of yelling and then my modem abandons the connection and I get the standard vista connection failed box.

  Things I've tried:
  -latest drivers for the 2.1.77.0 modem (and the rest of the system) downloaded from Toshiba and installed OK
  -all the updates of windows installed
  -removal of the modem in the Manager of peripherals and re - install
  -suppression of the agrsmdel.exe and then re-install
  -try different cables to plug into the phone jack
  -several different ISPS and phone numbers
  -reduce the maximum speed of the connection
  -connection to the same ISP with my Satellite L10; works very well never have time!
  -using the windows to diagnose and repair the tool (set last resort!); says that the modem works fine and can not find a problem with the connection

  Is it possible that the update of the BIOS on the laptop would make a difference (currently v 1.60)? I did some research on Google and found messages on various forums, which suggests that the connection between the motherboard and the modem chip is a little doubtful for all the Agere Soft Modem; If the case is it something I can fix myself or I should go for warranty repair?

  Hello

  I'm sure that there is no problem with your modem, but with the configuration or even s ISP modem. I recommend you to speak with the support of the ISP.

  These fixes are included in the SP3 so alternative, you can install this rather unique updates.

• Can I downgrade my Satellite Pro P200 for Windows XP?

  Hello

  I bought my Satellite Pro P200 (PSPB7E) a week ago and I love it. I have an unused XP license, so I would like to downgrade.

  Is this problem? I don't see xp for a Chicony webcam drivers or the HD-DVD player.
  I'd really appreciate some feedback. There must be someone out there who has tried to do.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Of course you can downgrade the satellite Pro P200 for Windows XP.

  When installing XP, you need to install the Intel Storage Manager. It is a SATA driver that is needed to activate the HARD disk.

  Regarding the webcam driver.
  I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and the Chicony webcam driver is certainly available.

  The HD DVD driver is not necessary because the Windows XP must use an own ODD driver.

• Satellite Pro L40 - 17F: everything by playing the DVD player window flickers

  I have a new Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 - 17F with all the updates of Windows Vista (Home) applied. This includes those optional (for example driver updates)

  I came to be used for the first time (outside the application of windows update) and play a movie. The player (not the controls, just the player) window flashing continuously, even on the menu screens. It almost seems that the film was shot with an old film camera and is played on a projector.

  I have not really looked at it properly yet, but I wonder if this is a common problem...

  Someone at - he had the same thing? What about a solution?

  See you soon

  Not easy to say that this could be what software do you use?
  Have you tried different players? If this is not the case, check this box!

  Have you noticed this problem only play DVDs using the DVD player?
