  Hi mate,

  may I ask what fire you´ve applications installed on your machine? I ask for the following reason:

  Several installed burning applications may interfere each other, so could not stop the drive works properly.
  Please, try the following:
  Find somewhere a linux cd or something that you can start from, and then try to start and when the disc turns and starts him CD then you know that your problem is not hardware partners, it s more a problem located somewhere in your Windows operating system.

  If the player wouldn even turn or start the inserted media then you know that the reader has some hardware malfunction and must be replaced.
  I guess you still have a warranty on your machine, if yes, then contact the nearest authorized service provider in your country and tell them your problem.
  They are able to help you and solve this problem.

• 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?

• Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE starts no - HDD + CPU fan is not

  Hello

  I own a Satellite Pro L40 - 17F (PSL4BE-00R005EN).
  I've been running the system on the current for a while now.
  I decided to remove the battery to avoid damage.
  Last night, I accidentally pulled the addapter at the back of the laptop. Since then; the machine won't start.

  I noticed that the HARD drive was not making the usual noises. Then I realized was not the CPU fan is spinning.
  Nothing appears on the screen, not even the start menu.

  The only things that do not seem to work are the DVD player & power light!
  I had the back of the machine off; I didn't see any obvious reason for the problem.

  I'm looking for a second opinion on what is happening with it, and if it can be fixed without having to buy a new motherboard.

  Thank you. Dan.

  Hmm. possibly, there is nothing wrong with your motherboard.
  Try this common workaround that has helped me in such cases.

  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter. Leave the laptop for about 30 min and after this short break, put the battery in the laptop and connects to the AC adapter.

  This short procedure helped me to sort a similar g and strange question.

  I hope that you will succeed if you please post some results.

• Floppy USB drive not recognized when installing WinXP on Satellite Pro L40

  History:

  I bought a Satellite Pro L40, it came with windows vista. I can't stand vista windows for obvious reasons. so I formatted the HARD drive. I have a copy of windows XP.

  IV ' e read on the internet that I need Intel storage driver manager...

  IA´ve got the driver, he got on a floppy, and it does not, because when I start to install XP, it works (after pressing F6 & choose the driver to install). I come to the part of license agreement, press F8 accept...

  I select the partition I want to use (in format completely on vista). It starts to load more stuff... so he said "PLEASE INSERT LABELD - INTEL MATRIX STORAGE MANAGER DRIVER - DISK IN DRIVE A:" "PRESS ENTER WHEN READY."

  The disc that I used in the first place is always in. when I press on enter, nothing NOT to PAST (the USB floppy drive is not yet into action)

  How can I make it work? It is that I can get.

  I DON'T WANT BACK TO VISTA - HELP!

  This could happen if the floppy USB doesn t drive supports the standards of law. Some people have reported on different websites many floppy drives are not recognized.

  However, worry guy. I have a solution ;) (jeaaa: D)

  Try to create a new XP CD using the software called nLite!
  Then, you could include the SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver in this new CD and then you could boot from the XP CD again.

  For details and how to use the nLite please Google because there are a lot of useful Web sites.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite Pro L40 - killed the laptop BIOS update

  Recently I thought it would be better to download the latest drivers and upgrades for my Satellite pro L40 to keep up-to-date and partners the laptop that works smoothly. I couldn't have worse summer. Before I updated the new driver updates I thought it would be a good idea first update the Bios. So I downloaded the update of the Bios on the Toshiba site, unzipped the files and followed the online instructions for updating the BIOS. I double clicked on the BIOS file to run the update, the laptop says it was end the session, I waited and the Toshiba logo screen came. In the instructions, it says that I have to press F2 now and confirm that the date and time are correct. I should then press F9 to load all the default values and then press F10 to save and exit. At this point, the laptop must away to the loading screen, but... I got a black screen. IV turned off the computer and turn it back on, but still, I get a blank screen. The lights are on but know one's home.

  Could a mod/staff/Board Toshiba administrator please explain to me why I'm going to draw the consequences of my lack full on my face because I followed a form of direct teaching of personnel of Toshiba or... Please run me through the process of bring back my cell partners in life, before that I get my Crown snatched jewels. This isn't a laugh. An upgrade directly from the manufacturer is not intended to cause you problems!

  Please get back to me as soon as POSSIBLE. My first son moments of life (videos, photos) are on this laptop. That cannot be replaced. Please tell me that the laptop can be fixed...

  Hello Durks

  I'm really sorry to hear you I have this problem.
  To be honest, it is not easy to discuss about this because a lot of people on this forum with a similar or same problem reacts quite aggressive if they don t hear exactly the thing they want to hear.

  In any case, I just want to write my comment. Don t be worried about photos and other important data. You can remove the laptop HARD drive, put it in a small box of HDD SATA 2.5 and connect the HARD drive to the other PC / laptop as external device. You will have full access to all stored data. So you can do the backup.

  Update the BIOS.
  What to say at this point?
  I have checked the Toshiba download page and saw that the BIOS update is available for Windows XP Home edition and Vista pre-installed notebooks so I hope you ve chosen the right one. Anyway, it is not easy to fix screwed up in the BIOS. You hate me now, but I think you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Call them, explain the situation and ask what you can do about it.

  I hope you will fix this laptop soon.

  Good luck.

• Satellite Pro L40 does not start

  When I turn on my Satellite Pro L40 it shows me a screen asking me to start to repair windows or start windows normally.
  When you choose the option it brings me to the same screen.

  Does anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you very much

  Salvation will be

  For me, it looks like the OS installed was confused for no apparent reason
  If you are not able to boot into the Windows XP operating system and if the repair option doesn t helps to start in safe mode I n t see any other possibility as to boot from the Toshiba restore CD and reinstall the OS again!

  But note; boot from the restore CD will format the whole HARD drive and you will lose all files stored on the HARD drive. ?

  It is a drastic procedure but in my eyes he's the only one who could allows to solve this problem.

• Satellite Pro L40: Bios update not necessary - no settings for RAM in Bios 1.90

  Hi, I just bought a Satellite Pro L40 laptop and im trying to figure out why the bios has no parameter memory.
  If I look at the ram using a tool of information system (cpuz or aida320), it shows she doesn't move at the speed of 667 mhz but at 533 mhz.

  As you can see from this screenshot the memory runs at the real speed is less than the maximum that the sticks have a rated power.

  http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/4580/cpuz1pj5.jpg

  Its running at 266 mhz (533 mhz ddr) where it should be run at 333 mhz (667 mhz ddr).

  I also noticed that with this laptop fan never seems to come, is it possible to mount the fan?
  Whenever I have the laptop for more than 30 minutes, it becomes very hot.

  Hello

  > if I look at the ram using a tool of information system (cpuz or aida320) it shows that it does not run at the speed of 667 mhz but at 533 mhz.

  What is your FSB?
  If the laptop was equipped with memory PC2-5300 modules then they could run at 667 MHz, but only if the FSB would supports 667 MHz! I think is supported by the FSB of 533 Mhz.
  So I can't say it s nothing wrong!

  > I just bought a Satellite Pro L40 laptop and im trying to figure out why the bios has no parameter memory.
  Why do you think a BIOS update would turn the memory settings in the BIOS?
  Please don t mix of desktop computers laptops! Laptops cannot be overclocked.
  BIOS of laptop computers is not the same thing as a desktop PC BIOS!

  > I also noticed that with this computer laptop fan never seems to come, is there a way to turn the fan to the top? Whenever I have the laptop for more than 30 minutes, it becomes very hot.
  Have you noticed all automatically turn off downs or any other strange behaviors laptop as freezing OS for example?
  If it is then that the laptop runs correctly and doesn't overheat.
  Books to support thermal protection which would be closed the laptop automatically to avoid equipment damage

  Then lean back man and enjoy your nice toy ;)

  PS: you are fan of Carlos Santana? ;) I ask through your nickname ;)

• 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?

  Midders

  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.

• Satellite Pro L40 - where to get the Vista recovery disc?

  I lost my business vista recovery cd rom by wrong cd rom is broken.
  hope someone can help me,

  Hi sherin2222,

  That's no problem because you can order a new Toshiba recovery disc directly but I m not 100% sure if it is possible for the older by Satellite Pro L40. Just check out the recovery shop:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  If you can t find, ask the ASP in your country. Guys can order such a disc.

• Satellite Pro L40 - drivers need to

  Hey.

  I just installed a clean version of Windows (Vista 64-bit) on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE... But I have no drivers CD or anything.
  I can't connect to internet because my Wifi does not work, because non drivers (and for some reason that I can't connect through the LAN (does not work on other portable computers as well).) And the lack of internet, it is really difficult to find drivers.

  I downloaded the drivers from this site: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  And I tried to download the LAN drivers wireless from here: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads
  But I'm not sure which one to choose? Also, should I install the Intel drivers first? I installed them, but while restarting the computer froze and I had to force him to stop... :(

  Are there not as a driver Package, you can download, as, instead of the driver CD or something?

  I hope you can help

  ANDA H.

  Hello

  To be honest I don t understand your problem. I checked the Web from Toshiba site and there are some drivers listed and also for LAN and WLAN card. Just search for your model and Vista 64-bit. You will find a short list of necessary drivers.
  Check this box!

  In addition, you can turn on/off WLAN if you press FN + F8. Did you do that?

• Satellite Pro L40 and it crashes and freezes

  Hi guys

  I have a Satellite Pro L40 and it crashed on me a few weeks ago.
  It will turn upward, but everything freezes.

  They gave me a copy of Vista to friend, but this only loads until it said 74.5 MB necessary and only 74.4 on the partition so I guess it does not load the full program of vista.

  I don't have the original backup drive so cannot use it.
  Is my only need to get a new hard drive and if what kind do you recommend.

  Sorry if I have'nt it explains very well

  Derek

  In my opinion, it is always good to have original Toshiba DVD facilities. If you want to order a visit https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx, and how much you should pay for it.

  As Akuma wrote before starting installation Vista delete existing partitions, create new and install Vista on it. I don't think that you need a new HARD drive.

• Satellite Pro L40 - freezing recovery utility

  Hello

  I'm trying to restore my Satellite pro L40 via the recovery CD. The utility starts and then as soon as I select a language the recovery utility screen freezes with the list of countries endangered and section of flag having a small gray box that just overlap it.

  Does anyone have ideas, what is? I've never been able to get this new laptop to work, it is not the first time I turned it on and then I ordered a recovery CD and recovery utility is now a failure as well.

  This question is unclear to me. I got several notebooks A200 and P200, but I have never seen anything like it. If you aren't really able to use recovery DVD I recommend you contact the service provider authorized in your country. They can order for you the new copy.

  You may have some Microsoft CD/DVD installations to see if the installation of the OS can be finished without any problems. I really hope that this problem occurs due to recovery media.
