• 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 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.

  There is no password on the bios... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

  I put a windows disc now, I hear the disc spin but nothing on the screen

  (I think that I have come to the right place on the forum)

  It s a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 model psl4be.

  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 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 - 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.

  Perhaps this page can help - http://www.keyboardweb.co.uk/k115.htm

• 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 L40-15 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

• Have now installed XP on my Satellite Pro L40-134 that had OS Vista as OEM

  high-definition Intel (azalia) codec adi ad1986a audio

  Hi, I have a problem a lot of time with the sound on my laptop.
  Description
  * No sound
  * An exclamation in device saying management "Audio device high definition Audio Bus".
  I removed Vista (which came with) and installed a genuine XP PRO SP3
  Downloaded all the drivers from the Toshiba Download Center (used the Satellite Pro L40 - 17 H, this is a similar model with XP as the operating system OEM)
  Installed in the correct order according to "how to install" Toshibas pdf

  Had a typical saying "Audio Modem Bus High Definition Audio" for awhile, but it disappeared during the installation of the drivers in the correct order.

  Now I sculled the Earth for a solution, but found nothing.

  Answers to these questions would be very apprechiated.
  What is my motherboard model name?
  who is the manufacturer of the MoBo?
  Who made my equipped with a sound card?

  The best course would be if I could get a link to a nice download that solved my problem.

  All the best.

  C_sdi

  After reading your ad something was strange for me on this pdf "how to install". Now I know what the problem is here.
  Your laptop model has the name of the European model, but on the European download page, there is no pdf file "how to install".

  Now I wonder what you do exactly.
  If you check the European download page, and it's right for you, you'll notice that Toshiba doesn't offer WXP stuff for your laptop model. So you will be unable to find the proper drivers and Toshiba-specific tools and utilities, and I assume that you will not be able to complete the configuration and installation of Windows XP Home edition.

  Anyway, you can try to find the proper drivers that Googling around or you can try install stuff designed for model laptop similar but I can't say for sure if it works or not.

  On your Satellite pro motherboard is Intel 943GML + Intel® ICH7-M, then you can try to find suitable driver on Intel support page. Sound chip is ADI AD1986A.

  Good luck.

• 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.

• 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 / L45 - closed/open/sensor cover

  Original title was:
  Pro L40 - location of the sensor/switch cover closed/open

  The moderator (?) changed to:
  Satellite Pro L40: black screen but faint image in background

  This is the reason why I write again; What I'm looking for - at this point, at least - is NOT _specifically_ the LOCATION OF the SWITCH of LID on the L40, how to recover my screen in general.

  Note: My laptop is a Pro L40 but I understand that his in many ways identical to the L45 (UK and USA models) model?

  QUESTION: Did anyone know exactly where the LID OPEN/CLOSED/SENSOR?
  I couldn't find, although I completely disassembled the unit.

  I would appreciate help.

  Thanks and greetings
  Nicolas

  > QUESTION: no one knows exactly where the LID OPEN/CLOSED/SENSOR?

  I'm not quite sure of the position but the LCD m module is connected to the 30pin CON1202 (CON1202 can be found in a small Bay LVDS, which is placed at the bottom of the unit)
  The 5 pins of the connector CON1202 gives the signal for the switch to COVER.
