Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE automatically restarts after a stop

Hello

I have a question where my laptop start automatically after apparently past Hibernate and shutdown by closing the lid. (I have it set so that it goes into hibernation when I close the lid.)
The strange thing is that this only happens when it is connected to the power supply. If I close the lid when on battery, it goes into hibernation and remains closed as it should.

It all started when I changed my power supply mode of "Balanced" to the 'Performance '. Put back to "Balanced" didn't help, and not affecting the setting the lowest. In addition, he used to come back from hibernation automatically once I opened the lid, this happens is no longer.

I'm not sure if it is a hardware or software problem.

This weekend I reinstalled the laptop using the recovery disks provided and applied all updates and patches for Vista, but the problem remains, so now I'm leaning more towards it being a hardware problem, even if I have no idea what kind of hardware malfunction could be the cause.

Does anyone have an idea what might cause this behavior?

All of these parameters are well known to me because I use the Satellite P200 with Vista. I have tested almost everything about the parameters energy saver and everything works fine. Saving energy for L40 and P200 is the same and there is no difference. Because of this I really can't imagine that there is a hardware problem.

I hope that you understand very well that you can set this for all profiles of three in two possible situations (on battery and plugged in). What should happen when the lid is closed belongs to Vista power settings. Try it please change all of these settings in the advanced power settings.

To be honest, I think you make a mistake.

  • Satellite Pro L40 does not start after changing the BIOS settings

    Changed some settings in the bios last night and now when I boot I get a screen black lights flash and hard drive lights up but nothing on the screen.

    Thank you

    > There was no bios password... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

    You can set the default BIOS ONLY inside the BIOS access BIOS by pressing F2 or at the beginning of the initialization of the order

    But I doubt that this problem is related to the BIOS.
    Maybe it s just a simple bad luck that this problem happened exactly after change something in the BIOS.

    Try connecting an external monitor and check if you can see something on the 2nd screen.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE - which is a manufacturer of BIOS?

    * PRO L40 PSL4BE *.

    Hello
    I searched all over the internet and cannot find who made the BIOS installed on the laptop.

    Is it possible to know if it is carried out by PRICE / PHOENIX / FRIEND that I can not boot into the BIOS?

    Thanks in advance.

    For the record: * it is necessary, after yet another failure of the bios update.
    Made me hesitate to buy another PC Toshiba laptop.
    Please, it's not easy to "locate and call the tips of your nearest APS."

    Hello

    > I have searched all over the internet and cannot find who made the BIOS installed on the laptop.
    It of a Phoenix BIOS but the manufacturer is Toshiba!
    You can ONLY use the BIOS that was created especially for this series of mobile and which was released on the Toshiba page!

    > Only please, no easy to "locate and call the tips of your nearest APS."
    Sorry, but buddy I put t know what you expect, it is that if something was not during the BIOS update process (whatever the reason) you need the help of ASP.
    Why? Because only has ASP to access to an update of the traditional BIOS that could be updated USB FDD on Toshiba page you will find only the BIOS update victory that wouldn't work if you cannot start the device

  • Satellite Pro L40 Wireless does not and wont stop correctly

    Hello
    just got a Satellite Pro L40-15 1 week ago and it's been downhill.

    The Wireless does not work (and yes the switch is activated and drivers installed). Sometimes windows recognizes no device when I boot.

    And when I stopped he said blocking down, but crashes just on this screen.

    Now, I'm an advanced user, so I've tried many things. Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    As a first step, I would recommend to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and renew the operating system.
    Then update the Vista of the State. I mean to install patches and fixes Vista all published.

    Check this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//thread.jspa?MessageID=107665

    Here you can see that a missing patches can have a bad influence on the wireless network card and the entire operating system!

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro P300 - 05 X restarts after shutdown

    Hi all

    I've owned my laptop (Satellite P300/05 X, processor P8600 (2.4 GHz), 17 "display) now for 1 week and I was very frustrated with this problem, I will explain.

    After you have selected the option "Stop" (not 'sleep', not 'Hibernate' etc, but certainly 'closed'), the laptop goes through the steps of closing and then turn off all the lights on the keys of the finger, and then the led of the main switch turns off. And then for no apparent reason, Notepad starts again as as if I pressed the switch on! This morning was the worst, I went through the steps of closing 3 times! before he spent actually OFF... very frustrating, especially if you're in a hurry.

    Also, I noticed sometimes the led of the main switch does not at all off, all other lights are, however, but not the main switch... and then all of a sudden, the machine comes to life!

    Now, this problem is very random and happens not all the time. On average it restarts automatically, say 1 out of 7 times (except this morning!).

    As I said, this machine is very recent. It has Vista Business and I installed only a handful of programs (Eclipse/Java, MySQL... that's a bit). And I'm sure that this is not a virus or malware. In addition, I have not changed the BIOS settings.
    But I have disabled all the power options in the control panel (in other words, 'never' disable disk hard etc etc).

    Any ideas?

    Thanks a lot guys...

    Have you connected external devices of the laptop as printer, external HARD drive and so far?
    Interrupt them because that might cause the problem.

    Make sure you have wake on LAN in the BIOS and disabled Windows and you should also disconnect cable LAN and other cables.

    Check this box and try also to update the BIOS.

  • Satellite Pro L40 keyboard + Touchpad inop after reboot

    How are Hey peeps, we all?

    I have a funny problem here. the keyboard and the touchpad do not work in windows or the BIOS, if I restart the computer, the same thing happens if it's just a battery or through food.

    If I remove the battery and then replace and restart the keyboard and the mouse works absolutely perfectly to the I restart then (unless I have remove the battery again).

    Is there something that reset which would prevent the touchpad and the keyboard work?

    Thank you very much

    James.

    That s a strange question.
    Have you tried to update the BIOS? Check if you are using the latest version and update if a new version is available.

    Generally it is not easy to say what could cause this problem
    To be honest, I never heard a similar problem

    To verify if a BIOS update will be help to settle this question, otherwise I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country for a solution!

  • Touchpad does not work and Equium automatically restarts after a stop

    Something going wrong drasticaly yesterday. I wasn't doing anything elaborate, just work excel and I'm tired of the Tablet touch and 'connected' one infrared I smile sometimes use... it did not work too well, low battery level, I guess, so I returned to the touch pad... but the touchpad was now for some reason, doesn't work do not at all and did not since...

    Turning off the laptop and was my solution, but he has not corrected the situation... the infra-red mouse works very well but with new batteries... on top of that, now when I turn the laptop off, it stops but then automatically starts once again, when a microsoft message appears saying that the computer has recovered from a serious error.

    So since this episode, the touch pad does not work and the computer will stay off! And maybe it's me crazy, but some of the keys on the keyboard are more sensitive as they once were.

    It was a satellite, and bought only in early January.

    If anyone can help I would appreciate it a lot.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Sound very mysteriously. However, as in the first answer mentioned the function FN + F9 turn off and turn on the touchpad.
    I also recommend to check the Device Manager if all devices are working properly.
    If you find any errors, but the problem persists then the step of text should be the reinstallation of the operating system. In this case, please use the recovery CD.

    If the recovery procedure will not solve the problem, I guess there must be something wrong with the hardware and the ASP help is needed. Guys could start diagnostic tests and can locate the fault.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - after upgrade to Windows 7, the FN keys do not work

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE and have just upgraded to Windows 7. Since the upgrade I can no longer use the function key and the top and down arrows to control the volume. Keys F6 F7 & still control the brightness so I don't know the function key still works.

    Anyone know if it is a driver problem or nobody knows how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Drew.

    Hello

    You need to install the package of value added for Satellite Pro L40. This package contains all the necessary drivers for the FN keys. Then please install or update VAP if you have already installed an earlier version.
    Here you can download: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Can you confirm that FN keys work with installed VAP?

  • Satellite Pro L40 - after I start the update of the BIOS, nothing happens

    I'm trying to update my BIOS version 2.00 - WIN for Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE.
    My OS is Vista 64 bit.

    I downloaded the file and run the .exe but nothing happens.

    I also tried to copy the files on a diskette and start with a floppy disk, however, I get an error message saying to remove the diskette in the drive on startup. Any help please?

    First update the BIOS for Satellite Pro L40 is based on Windows it of possible to update in DOS mode.

    Also, I checked the Web from Toshiba site and I can only find a BIOS for Windows XP and Windows Vista 32-bit.
    It seems that the update of the BIOS is not supported for Vista 64-bit.

    If you want to update, you need to change to 32 bit Vista or XP. Then you can update the BIOS.
    Don t forget this version 2.00 - WIN is for Vista 32 bit and 5.50 - WIN XP.

  • 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?

  • Need new keyboard for my Satellite Pro L40

    Hi guys,.

    My L40 needs a new keyboard. Can someone be kind enough to advise those who will be compatible with this?

    I ask, as the last one I acquired did not even if it was listed as a keyboard for Satellite Pro L40. There were two studs raised who would keep forcing the keyboard out latches. My original keyboard didn't they.

    The reference on the original keyboard number is 04GNQA1KUK00 - 2 TB. It's a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 - PSL4BE-00M005EN.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Wait a boyfriend of the moment! You have the original piece for the right keyboard number and now you need some info on compatible keyboard?
    Sorry, but you have the info you need. I don't know where you live (assume UK) but use Google and find an electronic store where you can order absolutely the same keyboard and everything will be fine.

  • Satellite Pro L40-15 a (PSL4BE) BIOS update procedure

    Hi, since trying to update the BIOS from Windows using the package provided on the official page to download always translated by the + black screen problem + described [here | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=47887&tstart=0], which is the * correct * on how to update the BIOS on this laptop?

    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?
    Thank you

    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.
