• Satellite L40 - error message during the installation of value-added package

  Hello

  yesterday I installed Windows 7 Professional 32 bit on my Toshiba Satellite L40 PSL40E, everything works fine except the volume on FN + arrow keys/esc control.

  I tried to install all of the packages available to fix the problem, but I can't install the VAP. Every time as I try, I get this error message: error installing PVAT [0x8146045B].
  I ran as administrator and also tried compatibility mode.

  Help please, thx!

  Hello

  Before that you can use the FN keys and other special functions that you need to install Toshiba Value added Package.
  My question is: have you downloaded the package of value added for Satellite L40 (PSL40E) and Windows 7 32 bit? It s is already available for the new Windows 7:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  You have installed the drivers first? They must be installed first normally, e. g. chipset, screen, sound, LAN driver, etc.

• Internet connection takes long to launch the Satellite L40 - 12K

  Hello

  Can someone tell me if I can speed up the opening of the internet connection on my laptop.

  I have a Satellite L40 - 12K, with 2 GB of memory, operating system vista Home premium.
  When you enter my user space after 30 seconds the system tray has not all symbols yet, but the drive slows down. At this point, I have the 2-screen symbol with a red cross. Then after 50 seconds, the hard drive shows some activity and then more certain symbols are placed in the system tray.
  Then after about 80 s finally Red Cross disappears.
  I don't know if this is a common problem with vista, or is there something I can do to speed this time.

  pls help me

  Hello

  the problem with Vista is that many things are 'wobbly' which causes the system to do things slower then you're accustomed to XP or other systems.
  The best would be to update ALL your drivers and install each update of Windows available. You can also speed up until your departure by removing unnecessary Autostart entries.
  I recommend reading this extremetech article that describes how to speed up Vista system startup:

• Re: Replacement of HDD on the Satellite L40-12 X

  Hello
  I have Satellite L40-12 X with 5400 RPM 120 GB HARD drive and I would like to buy a new HARD drive, but I wonder if 500 GB at 7200 RPM will be compatible with my laptop?

  Below is the basic information, but I can't find more information about it. Polish same technical support is not able to give me the answer. So, I would like to ask if there is someone who has replaced the HARD drive in this book and what type of HARD drive I can buy?

  http://CE.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=131705&disc _ MODEL = 1 & LNG = 20 & service = THIS

  THX for your help
  Andrew

  You will not be able to find answers to these questions and Toshiba doesn't offer the database page or support for certain models of laptops with a list of all compatible parts.

  If your laptop's SATA HDD theoretically there should be no problem to use 500 GB HARD drive.
  It is: so it must be exactly 500 GB?

• Question about the Satellite A200 bios password removal

  Hello.
  I own a Satellite A200 - 1 KB which has a password on startup and I would like to delete the password.
  I tried to get into the bios setup but I can't turn it off from there and I tried holding the ESC and hold left SHIFT to start but didn't work as well.

  If someone could help woul be great...

  Hello

  Unfortunately you won´t get here of secret advice on the deletion of bios passwords because the passwords were intended to protect a computer from unauthorized access. Thus, the password for the BIOS of your laptop is more often sunk that leads to the only solution:

  Contact an authorized service partner and let the button remove the password. But don't forget that you will be charged since the removal of the password of the BIOS is not covered by the warranty. Each manufacturer made this way, otherwise it would be easy to steal a machine, ask someone from a forum, and then use the stolen computer.

  You know what I mean? Here´s a link to find the closest available ASP in your country:

• 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.

• Satellite L40 - BIOS - the external monitor connection preferences

  Hello!
  I have some problems with the external monitor (CRT) connection for laptop L40 - 17O (PSL4CE).
  Matrix on it is broken. There is no windows installed.
  I connect external monitor, but I don't see anything. I heard that it is necessary to change something in the BIOS, but it's hard to do that without image =)
  Would be great if someone who has the same note would say what button to press to enter the BIOS and change the options in this way. Or perhaps someone could take a snapshot of the bios and its options.
  I'm looking forward to see answers)

  Normally it should be an option in the BIOS where you can choose, if it isn't the internal LCD screen, or both or is automatically activated after connecting a display to the machine.

  Under Windows, the combination FN + F5 does exactly what you need: it goes from the screen.

  Could you please check your BIOS and attention to the options in the form? I guess that basic finding. :)

• Do I did wrong on Satellite L40 BIOS update?

  I had a few software Toshiba some time ago (don't remember the name) he told me that there was a new BIOS for my 18R - L40 PSL48E, the latest version is
  17/06/08 a number there is 20080617131309 I tried to install it by clicking on update of the BIOS after extracting it, tried without extract it to a temporary folder
  and to extract it to a temporary folder, that past every time I click on updatebios, it is that my laptop restarts erasing the old bios and change with the one I downloaded,
  but my problem is that the version I have on my computer (using system information Auslogic) is a BIOS of 05/14/08 (not the newest) number is 5000814 08 worm: V2.00 I downloaded the bios from

  HERE

  Do I did wrong to try to update my BIOS? I have slow restart and stop the witch, I might well be more quickly after BIIOS update (this is the delay before my computer begins to restart or shut down it's my problem)

  Hello

  At the moment the European driver Toshiba page provides update BIOS v2.00 Win Vista 32 bit.
  It seems that the BIOS was transferred to 17/06/08 and it's the most recent!

  If you want to update, you will need to extract first on a HARD drive. Then run the UpdateBIOS file.
  If it will not start the BISO update then try the WinFlash file.

  However, AFAIK one of these two files a new update of the BIOS file must be created and then you could start again on UpdateBIOS or WinFlash files.

  How to unscrew?

  Hello

  Why disassemble the laptop if you have no idea how to proceed exactly?

  As far as I know that Toshiba does not provide that disassemble everything manuals to download.
