• Satellite Pro L40-15 has: motherboard problem

  Hi all

  I have a satellite pro L40-15 and it was running vista basic but very slowly.

  A friend advised me that I needed to renew the bios for xp install xp. I did, and now he's dead. The fan is not still running, even if the wireless lights and 3 lights above the power switch will Flash once.

  I took the motherboard out (part number 08g2002ta22jtb). During the inspection, there seems to be a reset button on the plateau (near the battery terminals). It is only accessible with the removed card. Does anyone know haw to restore bios factory settings please?

  Thanks in advance.

  John.

  Hi mate,

  It's cool to you finally disassemble your machine. But you won´t get no benefit from this action given that the bios needs to be reflashed by a technician of toshiba, BECAUSE they have the right tools to do this.

  I don't know how or what tools they use, but I had a similar problem on my Satellite A100 and they fixed without the motherboard. (So it was told to me).

  If I were you, I would send the machine to another and the closest to the ASP (certified partner) in your country. They should bring back your machine to life.

• Satellite Pro L40 with realtek card: cannot see wlan Vista networks

  Hey

  You just bought the L40 (Realtek card) and it cannot see wireless networks. The diagnosis of Vista, is that the wireless adapter must be turned on. Then, it will fail to start. Function key and F8 (wireless on/off switch) does nothing.

  The wireless router is well - connected to an XP machine. I can connect to the router without a problem by using an ethernet cable.

  Running on the latest Microsoft drivers.

  Pointers much appreciated.

  Thank you
  Frank

  Hello

  you turned on the wireless the case switch on "ON"? Maybe you forgot this one, and this is perhaps the reason why it won´t work.

  Please check and make sure that you then use the FN + F8 switch.

  Would appreciate your comments on this...

• Satellite Pro A120 needs new motherboard

  Hello, I need a new motherboard for my Satellite Pro A120 laptop because I stupidly spilled a whole pint of orange on squash...
  It has been dried and cleaned but still no power, just a little orange light flashing...

  I talked to Toshiba and they said it probably needs a new motherboard...
  I've looked everywhere but I can't find a...

  can someone help me please?

  The motherboard can be ordered from the ASP in your country, but the new mobo will be cool a small fortune because the mobo is a laptop computer cheap party.

  You can also search on some internet like Ebay or similar Web page s to get a mobo of second hand maybe you could find a second hand Satellite Pro A100 with good motherboard.

• 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?

  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.

• 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 - how to make a dual boot with two recovery disks

  A small question;
  How to dual boot with two recovery disks ive got with my laptop (Satellite Pro L40)

  discs 1 & 2 are windows vista buisness
  discs 3 & 4 are windows xp profesional
  Disc 5 is updated the bios

  The guy where I bougt garage computer (a metal regular store named expert) says that it is posible with discs tose.
  I have
  I already have a partition, but when I boot from disks, is not has the option to select a partition

  Thanks already

  > Satellite Pro L40 - how to make a dual boot with two recovery disks?
  Short answer: you can't do that. Maybe if you have two hard disks (I tried didn't) but as much as I know your SP L40 has only one.
  Ask this smart guy, how to do this. Maybe it's a useful tip.

• 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.

• 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 L40-15 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.

• Can I upgrade the CPU T2310 Satellite Pro L40 - 15A series laptop PC?

  Hi, (I apologize if this has been asked before, but when I search 'Satellite pro l40 series' I couldn't find any relevant response)

  I've been looking around the net & found contradictory answers to this question so far, so I hope that this forum may be able to help.

  I have a 15 D portable computer Satellite pro L40 and I want to upgrade the processor Intel Pentium Dual-Core 1.46 Ghz T2310 an Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4300 2.1 GHz 1 MB 800 CPU or something similar.

  I found the following issues http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Toshiba-Satellite-L40-14N-Notebook.7294.0.html

  "f consider you a CPU upgrade, there is not a lot of options." The Intel GL960 value express notebook chip supports only up to FSB 533 Mhz processors. So, does not allow most of the Core 2 Duo CPU update (with 667 MHz). "

  But then, I also read that the GL960 can run 800 MHz processors?

  I also asked the question on ebay to the seller of the CPU T2310 & received this response

  «SHOULD be OK, but your T2310 533 Mhz FSB and the T4300 has 800 Mhz.»

  Motherboards intel more modern should easily accept a 800 mhz cpu, but I cannot guarantee. May be an idea to see if you can find out if there are other models of Toshiba L40, also with 800 mhz chip, because it would be a good indicator.

  And if I can't pass a T2310 because of the 800 mhz too is their a 533 mhz cpu that will be compatible & more powerful for audio production that my current Ghz CPU T2310 1.46.

  I've only had this PC 4 years again, it seems not to be very mobile friendly if this resource could not be designed to handle upgrades.

  Thanks for the tips.

  Problem is that upgrading the CPU is not taken in charge and everything you do is at your own risk.
