• 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:

  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 L40 wireless channel selection

  I have a Realtek 8187 b WLAN in my Satellite Pro L40.

  I have the latest drivers installed with xp pro, but can't set the channel everything but 10. How can I change the channel when I get the message that the channel range must be 10-10. This just doesn't seem right.
  Channel top 10 isn't a problem, but when I'm somewhere else, it is impossible to establish a connection, at least that channel 10 is used.

  Hello

  Have you checked the settings in the WLan card properties?
  Go to the devices-> ECS-> Wlan card Properties Manager.
  The Advanced tab should contains different settings.

  Wlan channel can also be changed using the Wlan configuration utility Intel ProSet or Atheros Client utility such as tools.

• Satellite Pro L40 - wireless adapter does not work - Vista

  I recently had some problems with my laptop.
  A couple of weeks, I put in a disc of OpenSuse.
  It's not stable anything, but locked me out of my original Vista operating system.

  I reinstallled Vista Home Basic, but there are a few problems.
  Mainly, my wireless adapter does not work.

  When I flip the button to turn it on nothing happens and it is not recognized in Windows.
  I installed Atheros Driver, but still nothing happens, light is not yet.

  Any advice?

  Hello

  First check the device-> network adapters area manager
  You see the WLan card? Or the unknown device appears?

  If there is an unknown device, then the WLan driver has not been installed correctly or you tried to install a driver badly these two options are possible.

  Remember that your wireless network card? Maybe it was a Realtek WLan card?

  If it's a Realtek WLan card, try the WLan driver from the Realtek website and look for 802.11 g (RTL8187B) chip or you will simply check the page of the European driver Toshiba too the Realtek WLan driver also appeared on the Toshiba page

• 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: 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.

• Satellite Pro L40 - failure wireless, how to diagnose a problem?

  Not now my Satellite Pro L40 will detect wireless networks, and the light does not illuminate when the switch is triggered.

  How can I know what is the problem?
  see you soon
  Mark

  I'm afraid that the WLAN adapter is not correctly enabled.
  Please put the WLAN to position on and after making this combination of keys using FNF8 and enable the wireless network adapter.

  Card WLAN registered and installed properly in Device Manager?

• Signal not detected on Satellite Pro 6100 wireless

  I have two laptops Satellite Pro 6100, two of them are configured to automatically connect to our local wireless router which they both started.
  A computer is used by myself by my wife; bookmarks, email accounts and so on are different on every computer/hard drive.

  I have problems with one of the computers (mine) - the usual problem with multispindle connectors on the video boards and feeding, then I tried to use "his" computer with 'ma' machine's hard drive.

  His machine does not recognize our LAN with my hard drive installed. He came up with a new network found, but not a wireless network. Also, with this machine and my hard drive installed, can't the machine to search for wireless LANs, the icon does not appear. The switch is turned on for wireless signals and it works very well with his hard drive in it. The network is protected, and the two machines have the same id in them for connection which work fine in the original engine.

  I don't really understand this condition. Something in the bios? Something on my hard drive that is not recognized by the computer? the wrong phase of the Moon?
  Suggestions how to trouble shoot and fix this?

  Both machines are XP Pro on them, latest updates.

  Hello

  Also AFAIK, Satellite Pro 6100 was equipped with different Wlan cards so if use different HDD with different driver then the Wlan card could not be detected by Windows XP.

  Check if the wireless adapter is listed in the Device Manager and recognized correctly.

• 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 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 - how to enable the WLan using ConfigFree

  Can you help me?

  My English is bad I do not end.

  The question is:
  My computer is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 and I use the ConfigFree for the wireless, but it seems that the WiFi network is disabled.

  Help please!
  I want to know what's wrong

  Thank you!!

  Hello!

  Your wireless network card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager, or you may notice a yellow exclamation?
  Her check first because otherwise, you can get the WLAN to work.

  In addition, you can activate WLAN with the material on the laptop switch which must be set on and the FN + F8 key combination.
  Check it!

  After this Free Config should find your WLAN router if you are in the range of that.

  Good bye

• 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.

• Question about sound card on Satellite Pro L40

  Hello

  I use a program called Sibelius and recommended an ASIO compatible sound card.
  Can someone tell me if the sound in the satellite pro L40 series card is compatible ASIO?
  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 - network LAN adapter does not connect

  We had a satellite pro L40 for about a year and have connected to the internet through our wireless home network using the connection Wireless on the laptop.

  My son has now gone to the University and tries to connect to a wired connection via the network adapter, but without success. He tried 3 different cables and different takes the work of others within its rooms, so we know the cables and connections to work.

  Setting up the program guard in him asking to connect the cable, which he did. Adapter network said he works in the control panel and new network connection section, it says to connect the cable.

  Any ideas would be welcome!

  What is the "Installer"?

  Try to disable the firewall and update the LAN drivers on the Toshiba site.
