• Satellite Pro L40 - 15A - Windows XP screen white when the cover is open

  Hey,.

  So when I closed the lid on my laptop for a while and then reopen the lid, the screen remains white (black). The only way I found to get back on the screen is to re-boot.
  In power management, I put 'Status quo' for when I close the lid on my computer and power management is ' Always on '.

  I have the latest Bios and updates to the system.

  Satellite Pro L40 - 15A
  winXP

  Any help appreciated.

  Hi ib1.

  You use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or is it your own installation?

  What to update the display driver? Take a look at the Toshiba page for the new display driver:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Don t forget to look in the * archives * on Toshiba page because this model is a little older, so all of the downloads are moved in archive.

• Satellite Pro L40: black screen but faint image in background

  Satellite Pro L40 - 17 H (PSL4BE-00T005EN)

  Hello

  I would appreciate your help with the following problem:

  SYMPTOMS: The screen is black, but I see that there is a faint image in background.
  I get a good picture in the external monitor.

  I suspect, _among others_, there may be a faulty * cover sensor / switch *, but I have been unable to locate him, although I have disassembled the unit.

  If anyone knows, please let me have the exact * location * where I should look for the switch.
  Thank you

  > I think, among other things, that there may be a faulty lid switch/sensor

  No, I do not think that its sensor problem.
  I guess that the FL inverter is faulty.

  The FL inverter controls the backlight of the LCD display module.
  Therefore, this part should be checked and if necessary, it must be replaced.

• Question about the files to be transferred on the Satellite Pro L40

  I have a portable Satellite Pro L40 and bought a upgrade disk to upgrade Vista Home Basic to Vista Home Premium.
  But I can not install the upgrade because drive C is showing that only have 8 GB of space.
  Drive E has 30G of space, but I can't transfer files from C to E to free up enough space.

  Please can someone tell me how to transfer files from C to E?

  I can ask the same thing as Akuma - why can you transfer files from C to E of t?

  Open two windows in the Windows Explorer. On the left side of the C drive on the right side of drive E.
  Mark all the files on the left side and move them to the right window. When you do with the key right mouse options will be displayed. Choose the MOVE option and I hope that the adaptation procedure will be launched.

  Have you ever tried to do this?
  An error message appears on the screen?

  Question sorry but described is completely illogical.

• Question about hard drive storage on Satellite Pro L40

  I have a Satellite Pro L40. Memory hard drive seems to be divided into two (about 35 GB each) under Vista C and e of data.
  Vista C is almost full. How can I use/access the E-data memory?

  Hi Bart

  Please don't get me wrong, but your question is really strange. I mean after reading your post, I'm really interested in your PC knowledge and how long you use your laptop.

  You want to know is basic stuff and must be learned first when you start using computers.
  When you have the time to try to get some book on WXP or Vista and all know about operating systems and how to use them.

  Open Windows Explorer, and you will have direct access to the second partition. You can move files from C to D, or save all data directly on the D partition.

  Google a bit. You can find many Web pages on basic stuff to the use of operating system.

• Where to get the new motherboard for Satellite Pro L40 - 14 d

  Hey there.

  I have a Satellite Pro L40 - 14 d (I think).
  My son hit a small stool and he fell on the side of the PCI Express card (which has been inserted).
  Needless to say that the pci card no longer works.

  I opened it to the top, and it seems that the pins were torn off of the motherboard.
  Can it be fixed, I'm not so sure?

  Then someone know where I can get my hands on a new motherboard? I've scanned the internet but come in white.

  See you soon

  Hello

  This model of laptop is fairly new, and I imagine that it will be difficult to get the new motherboard. Of course, you can order one by authorized service provider, but it will be expensive.

  Have you checked eBay? With a little luck, you'll find a L40 with faulty display or any other hardware problem. Maybe using two defective notebooks, you can have one that works correctly. ;)

  By the way: I assume you want to disassemble without maintenance manuals. Be careful!

• Satellite Pro L40 is not start!

  Hello

  I just got a new Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 and I tried to install WinXP and WinVista on it, but after the 'realtek boot agent' screen, the screen remains black.

  Once I recognized that it is not working properly, I went into the BIOS to change the order of boot or something. But he wasn't listed CD/DVD player and there was no option to boot from USB.

  You have a solution for this problem?

  Thank you...

  This means that your CD/DVD drive does not appear in the BIOS and you can not boot from the CD recovery Toshiba or from the Microsoft windows CD?

  Everything you say seems strange to me

  In the worst case I would recommend contact the authorized service provider in your country for control of computer laptop because it s a new laptop computer and the guarantee must cover everything!

• 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 ;)

• I need modem for Satellite Pro L40

  Hello

  I need modem.
  computer toshiba laptop satellite pro L40 windows xp

  Hi mate

  To be honest I don t understand your problem.
  Do you need a modem or you need a modem driver?

  The Sat Pro L40 was equipped with the internal modem and the modem driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.

  Welcome them

• 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 - football manager runs slowly

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40
  I ve bought a football game coach (lma manager 2007) for it and its really slow. What are my options to play better?

  Help, please!

  Hello

  To be honest there are not many options to make the computer faster
  But I see that your laptop uses ONLY 512 MB of RAM.
  In my opinion it is certainly not enough and certainly desirable upgrade to 1 GB or 2 GB.

  Therefore, I recommend upgrading the RAM.

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

  I lost my business vista recovery cd rom by wrong cd rom is broken.

  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.

• 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.
