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.

    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 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 - 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?

    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.

    If not I can plug a card external sound which is compatible and if so how can I turn off the internal sound card.

    Thank you

    I really don't think not someone will be able to give you information about the ASIO compatibility, but I see no problem, that is if you want to use the external device. Card internal sound, you can disable it in Device Manager.

  • 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?

    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.
