  Hello, I have a problem with the SATELLITE L40-139

  the thing is when I press the power button / stop, hard drive led will begin to Flash, CD-ROM led is lit and the screen is black. I noticed that advise in the CD-ROM makes a sound ICT in the same way the hdd led flashes (when it flashes I hear a tick form CD, yes I unfolded any computer laptop).

  I can only say that I have connected my PC HARD drive and it's working., good fan is not working too, but I think it will start, after some time (as he always did)

  Notebook crash circumstances are now saying: that a year ago, he fell from 1 inch (such height ;]) I saw that the ribbon cable connecting the touchpad to the mohterboard was broken and my diidn can't start computer, I thought that there's a problem, but I forgot and left the laptop for more than 9 months (with hard disassebled and battery and cd-rom drive) and then I decided to try to turn it on.
  And viola! It works it boots etc.

  After a month of being happy, I'm drunk I couldn't sit on the Chair and I decided to sleep with my laptop on the bed, I lied right down and put the laptop on my belly and it crashed (screen freezes) so I decided to reboot, but it does not start.

  Here is a video with what I get when turning the power on it: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC0pGBBVwJk] (not Fortunately my phone fell in the mud and shifts when I record videos)

  Some people suggest I should connect an external display to see if theres no picture but the result is always the same. (Screen not even fuels not on)

  Maybe someone could help me fix without sending it to the customer service.

  See you soon.

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. Of course, you can try to do some tests and try to make some conclusions which may be wrong. After his last stop somewhere I think that there is big problem with graphics card. Of course I can't say it for sure.

  Diagnosis just exact mainboard can offer answers. I m afraid mainboard is dead and must be exchanged.

• Satellite L40-139: new graphics driver is causing the problem after waking from sleep

  I have a three month old Toshiba Satellite L40-139 (PSL40E) with 1 GB of RAM with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. This laptop worked very well for me for the basic headquarters far tasks, and I would have no problem recommending.

  In the last days I've updated the software and drivers from the Microsoft Update web site.

  Since the update driver Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family (to version 7.14.10.1350, dated October 18, 2007), the screen resolution at 800 x 600 after awakening from the sleep state. The only way I found to fix it is to restart the PC.

  Other articles published on the web, I understand that this particular driver (Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family driver 7.14.10.1350 version) has caused many other problems on a variety of hardware and software platforms.

  Does anyone have a definitive solution for Satellite L40?

  I looked at four options.

  1. let the new installed driver and restart Windows each time after waking up from sleep mode. Rather, I must not do this.

  2. using the Restore Point created by Windows Update before the update of the driver, roll back to an earlier time. This seems to be a good course if it works.

  3 download an older version of the driver and reinstall it. I don't know which version would work but note that others have had success with the 7.14.10.1280 version. I guess a similar version could be included in the driver Package that can be downloaded from Toshiba Europe site, but have heard that the time required to download this software can exceed ten hours and am therefore reluctant to try.

  4. the fourth option is not really possible. I should be able to "Roll-Back" the driver in Device Manager, but the button is disabled.

  Although only a minor problem, it is very irritating and I would like to address them without causing other problems. Does anyone else have this problem? Someone has fixed it successfully?

  Hello Peter

  If I understand correctly, you use your usual laptop for daily work and you don't need any computer high-performance notebook. If I'm right I have to say that you should be happy if the laptop works well and stable.

  I don't really see any reason why you wanted to update chipset driver. In any case, you should try to roll back the BONES of time earlier and I hope everything will work again. There is absolutely no risk, and you can test it.

  Please post the result.

• Problem with Windows XP on Satellite L40-139

  Hello Toshiba user community!

  I'm new here but I'll cut right to the chase with my problem.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 - 139 (PSL40E) model that was included with Windows Vista Home Premium installed and all perfectly installed software. I recently got a Windows XP Professional SP2 through MSDNA of my college (a Microsoft service for universities) and has installed because Windows Vista, although very looking shifted the laptop as hell.

  The installation went smoothly. I installed all the drivers that showed the question mark (as the display driver, audio, modem, etc.). I experienced a few problems. They are presented below as well as a few questions:

  1. I can't use the Fn function more. While Fn + F8 works, I can't turn the volume upwards or downwards using Fn + arrow up / Fn + arrow key or any other combination.

  2. the display driver although it shows that it is perfectly installed it seems that it is not.
  a. I do not have the optino of display properties when I right click on the desktop.
  b. I recently installed Gothic I, who had previously worked on my L40 and now after playing the intro, I do not see the menu. It's dark, but the sound can be heard as the navigation menu. If I manage to press new surprise of game, it's always black and sometimes it shows a random graphic error.
  I tried to install the Toshiba page display driver. And after that he has not changed a thing I downloaded one from the Intel site. Same thing!

  Do you know a sollution?

  3 another problem, although as unrelated to the laptop is the for my laptop model Toshiba download page only shows the "how to install Windows XP.pdf" file. " This is for the Windows XP operating system. If you change to Vista you get a lot of pilots. It would almost seem Toshiba would force me to HAVE Vista so that my Satellite wo works properly. Any ideas?

  4. do you know a good tutorial on how to install Windows XP for Toshiba L40 laptop? Especially for the L40 - 139 (PSL40E)?

  5. If Windows XP succeeded withought problem to see my hard drive is necessary to install the driver Toshiba mentions in his XP installation tutorial? I mean he should improve performance or not?

  Thank you in advance,
  I will adjust your answers tomorrow!

  Best regards!

  Hi Robert,.

  I think that there is no such thing as a tutorial for installing Windows XP on your machine. But you can count the installation instructions provided on the page to Toshiba, because WinXP installation is all about good pilot order.

  Have you tried to select as model number short "all"? You can find many drivers and I am sure that these will work very well for your laptop.
  I'd say reinstall with the Toshiba page display drivers and try again. And install the latest version of direct X 9.

  OK, Gothic I is not a new game, but worth a try anyway.
  Ditto for the FN keys. Just follow the installation instructions and download and run driver configurations.

• Satellite L40 - 139 with the combination FN + volume problem

  Hello
  at first, I want to say sorry for may English. It's so good, but I'll try to explain my probblem.
  Yesterday I installed the XP system and everything works fine. After installation I can't press FN with the volume I want to say, some with works of function FN buttons, but some of them don't work. Only those function don't switch (FN + volume) volume of work and increase the volume level up/down(FN+ up/down arrow)

  Someone know how to fix/repair it?

  Marcin

  Satellite L40-139 belongs to the * PSL40E * series.
  Where did you find the Toshiba XP drivers for this laptop series?

  To my knowledge at THIS time the XP drivers are not released on the Toshiba driver page and so I guess that a driver missing XP or is not compatible BIOS might be the reason for you question.

  I think you have to wait until all drivers XP and BIOS XP will be available for you series!

  Greetings

• Cannot start XP installation on Vista Home Premium preinstalled Satellite L40-139

  Here's the problem:

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L40-139 in Austria and comes preinstalled Vista. OK, Vista is in German, and I don't know German. But I made a choice to learn German and to start using a Vista. After a month Vista drives me crazy (no language, just for Vista) and I want to just install XP. I didn't need something more.
  I spent more then five days trying to archive this, but without success and I am disappointed, much.

  I put aside all types of teaching and I did a lot of things, but none of them helped me.
  So the problem is like this:
  I made the partition for XP, so I have two partitions as: Vista (C), (D) XP and Datas (G) and my CD/DVD (E :).
  I activated just boot from the CD/DVD, but when I insert the CD and start the installation of Vista it tells me something like this:
  Press any key to boot from CD...
  When I do that, I get a message, which is very fast where it says something like that, (I'm not quiet sure what it says because it's fast):
  Checking your configuration...
  After that, nothing happens, don't know why, I just get black monitor and CD/DVD does not work anymore?

  It's driving crazy me and I can't install XP.
  It seems that does not recognize the CD/DVD, and I tried with several XP bootable CD/s and they work on my desk.

  Can someone help, please, because I'm going crazy?

  If you have installed XP on this notebook L40 Vista you need a BIOS update to the XP version. All that s

• Satellite L40-139 cannot boot from CD

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 - 139 that comes with vista installed!
  A month ago, I installed XP and it worked well!

  Yesterday I had to reinstal XP and I chose clean instal CD and an installation process, I pressed the button to open the dvd player and you finish her!

  Stupid mistake! From there if I try to boot Windows from a dvd player and the process stops at: check the configuration of your hardware! - and white screen!
  Nothing happens!
  What can I do?

  Evrything else seems to work ok!
  There is no problem with dvd player, because he reads a recovery for vista CD!
  Help, please!

  This is a really silly situation. I'm sure that this info on the suspended installation is recorded in the MBR. I recommend you do the drive clean HARD everything including MBR.

  After this try to reuse the CD of Windows XP Home edition installations.

  Good luck!

  Hello

  Just a tip;
  If you need an office application then I recommend OpenOffice.
  It s software open source similar to MS Office and you can use and download it for free!

  The issue of your pain.
  The painting is part of the Windows OS. It of not possible to uninstall it.
  File paint.exe is placed in the folder c:\windows\system32\

  There seems to be an error of operating system... maybe the system is confused upward...
  try to clean the operating system using the CCleaner...
  It cleans the registry and maybe it helps to get rid of this error...

  otherwise, you need to reinstall the operating system...

• Satellite L40 - 139 - after watching the video, I can't use the virtual scrolling

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite L40-139 under Windows Vista 32-bit. However, I think that this problem only applies to this model as other users are experiencing the same thing.

  I often watch videos online mode full screen (like on YouTube), but when I leave full-screen mode, I noticed that virtual scrolling stops working on the touchpad. This occurs in the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox. I can still move the pointer, but cannot scroll. I also note that the icon in the taskbar freezes, because it does not meet all the movements on the touchpad. I have the latest version of the driver installed (10.0.3.0).

  Is it possible for Toshiba to issue an updated driver for the Synaptics pointing device which solves this problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It's the first time that someone has posted this question
  I checked this on my Satellite U400 and quest that; the touchpad works ok
  There may be a registry problem with your operating system who knows
  It would be interesting to know how the touchpad scroll function works by using the new OS installed

• Question about the battery life of the Satellite L40-139

  It's maybe a stupid question, but I have a portable Satellite L40-139 and the battery lasts less time, is this correct.
  In the power management, I chose energy-saving. I used to be a mobile system and it could take 2-3 hours. The answers would be great.

  The laptop uses Vista. Am I wrong?
  Well, I don't wonder that you can run Notepad only for an hour approximately.
  Vista needs for more resources as a BONE at the beginning. In addition, there are a few bugs in Vista, who have a bad influence on the performance of the battery!
  You can perform a search in internet for Vista and the problem of battery on laptops and you will find a lot of information.
  The same laptop with XP runs twice as long on battery as with Vista.

• To switch from Vista to XP, but I have no drivers for Satellite L40-139

  Hi all!
  I have a problem with reciently bought satellite L40-139 with Vista preinstalled. I don't want Vista to be installed (for different reasons) and I would like to install Windows XP instead, but both European and Canadian sites, I have not found the drivers for my laptop to XP. So two questions - 1) are what they supposed to appear on the official site? (2) what to do if not? Maybe someone who has experienced the same problems, can help me with them?

  Until Toshiba offer all the drivers you need to improvise. ;)

• Cannot run the CHKDSK - Satellite L40-139 process

  When I start my laptop (Toshiba Satellite L40-139) always starts to run chkdsk
  He completed the phase 1 and then when it is at 30% through stage 2 it just goes directly to the login screen.

  I was wondering if someone can help me correct what I want to start the whole process.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can run chkdsk after Windows has started.
  Type in the CMD COMMAND.
  The console should open and there you can use the command * chkdsk *.

  That's all.

• Re: Satellite L40-139 - 10 error code in the Device Manager on the wireless network card

  I have a toshiba satellite L40-139 and I just instaled windows 7 64 bit on it. Since that time my atheros wireless device will not work. I tried updating the driver and windows but nothing.
  In the device manager says code 10 DEVICE can NOT START.

  Help, please!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  If you read here:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943104

  The Code 10 error code is generated when the Device Manager has not enough information or error that spread upwards by device drivers is not recognized by Device Manager.
  Then, go to the page of the driver and update the driver. If you do not have to win 7, try the vista driver.
