Updated card graphics/video on Equium L40-14i

Is someone can you please tell me if you can update the graphics/video card on this machine as we are having trouble loading and playing games (Sims 2 deluxe) and Tiger Woods 08 and a friend mentioned that the graphics card on this laptop does not support them. AFAIK there are here with 1 GB of memory, 128 MB graphics card and two games require at least 32 mb videocard support and yet they either load up, then stop responding or if I do get not one to play it crashes after a few minutes. Is there something that can be done to run one of these games?

Would be grateful for any advice!

    By the way: before talking about some problems of motherboard, you should check if the laptop works properly using another job good and checked power adapter.

  • How to install the sound drivers and graphics on my Equium L40 - 10Z?

    OK here is the deal, I have everything works pretty well except the sound. Its the map analog Inc. I have on this laptop and not the Realteck one. In my opinion, he's also under the name of SoundMAX. Summer looking for the driver on google for hours now, if someone can tell me if they have managed to get their functioning and how?

    Also on the graphics, I'm not fussed, but if anyone has any info on this, it would be great.

    Someone knows the specifications of the chip, card mother etc for this laptop, so I can download the drivers for the chipset.

    I use Windows XP Service Pack 3!

    Thank you

  • Updated card graphics and Qosmio F45

    The graphic Chipset in a Qosmio F45 AV412 can be improved? I assumed that before I bought it it would go at least the minimum graphics for games.
    I was so wrong. Suggestions?

    Hello!

    I m not the owner of a Qosmio so I m not sure but as far as I know it s not possible to update the graphics card on a Toshiba laptop. For the upgrade of the GPU, I can prefer this useful link:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    But why you want to upgrade? I mean the Qosmio F45 is the oldest not portable and the graphics performance should be good.

    Good bye

  • Updated card graphics L440

    Is it possible to update the graphics card on the L440?

    Good day and welcome to the community.

    As with almost all cell phones, the graphical subsystem is integrated with the CPU package, or if it's a real GPU discreet, soldered to the system board. In some cases a particular machine may have been offered with integrated or discrete graphics. In this case, a computer with integrated graphics could be upgraded via an exchange of the system board.

    In looking at the list of RUF L440 parts pg2: https://download.lenovo.com/parts/ThinkPad/l440_fru_list_20140825.pdf

    you will see two types of system boards. One is 'Integrated Graphics 4600' and the other is ' NVIDIA N14M-GE with 1 GB ', you do not have this option, but it could be costly.

    You can see the equipment manual: https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/l440_l540_hmm_en_sp40a26004_03.pdf

    to get an idea of the physical task.

    Hope this helps to clarify.

  • Equium L40-14i - can I get a recovery disk?

    Hey,.

    I'm stuck with that laptop right now because when I did a scan for virus about 4 weeks ago we found 179 virus and endless malware, and since this analysis I can start is no longer a normal Windows Vista 32-bit area unless it is Safe Mode.

    When my mother bought the laptop it is a display model and that they did not provide a recovery disc witht the laptop. I am able to request one or if I am not not to get a disk how am I able to rectify the Please this problem? Also when you try to open a session in normal Windows, it accepts the password then sits there with happiness on the 'Welcome' screen and does not move further.

    Help, please

    Kind regards
    Obviangel

    Your Equium L40 comes with HARD drive recovery option.
    Recovery image is recorded on the second partition, and you should have HDDRecovery folder saved on the second partition.

    Is this folder?

  • Equium L40-14i BIOS update now no start

    Hi all
    I had some problems with my lappie, checked if Toshiba support looking for updated drivers to slow down.
    They was a BIOS update with specified 2.00WIN an improvement in performance.

    My BIOS is v 1.60
    I'm running Vista and my model number is PSL49E

    There are warnings that this update is only for the models running Vista and PSL49x - so I thought that I was ok.

    The windows Flash update and I have a popup dialog told me that this was necessary.
    When the computer reboots, I pressed F2 and the version of the BIOS showed 2.00
    Then, I left the BIOS Setup and nada!
    Black screen, nothing else.
    The blue light is on power list, by nothing else the HARD disk light.

    It can be reflashed using FN + F and using the usb disk?
    If Yes, where can I download the BIOS original version 1.6

    Thanks a lot for any help

    Hello

    Seems that something wrong happened during the update of the BIOS.
    Possibly the ROM module was not properly flashed.
    If the ROM module must be flashed once more.

    The problem is that the European driver Toshiba page provides just the BIOS version focused on victory and this can be modified only from Windows OS.

    But I found the traditional BIOS on Toshiba page:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    But I can't very well if this BIOS would be compatible with your L40 so in this case, you will need to request the ASP from Toshiba in your country for assistance and for flashing the BIOS using the crisis disk BIOS m.

  • Can I update the graphics/video card?

    I just bought my son a new HP Envy 17 - j130us 17.3-inch Touchsmart computer laptop with Beats Audio at Amazon.com. Now, I like Intel, but the graphics card can be improved? He loves these intensive real games, and well, it earned him.

    No there is no way to improve the graphics. This is true for almost all laptops. You are still in time to return and buy something with better graphics?

  • Updated card graphics for S5770uk-m?

    Graphics, intel has incorporated into my slimline S5770uk-m GMAx4500HD, which is not enough to play minecraft on the pc. I know it's a problem of specific pc I can play the program on another pc (HP 6315 with geoforce 430 graphics)

    The motherboard on the 5770 gives to think that I can add a pci-e x 16 - but with the slimline chassis compatible graphics card I can't find one that matches

    So, can anyone tell what graphics card must be compatible for the slimline chassis? I think that the power supply can provide up to 400W and I only seek to have a card with a nominal 1 GB memory

    Motherboard: H-141-Μatx (Eton/EtonL)

    Processor: Intel Pentium 5800

    Hi, Philippe:

    It is very easy to do. There are a few Philips screws on the cards and you remove the media from the standard profile and install the CF ones.

    If you can take any Radeon 4350 at the best prices, it should work with your P/S.

    modify... to answer your more high... as long as the body of the card is low profile, you can put profile low media on it.

  • Equium L40-14i does not illuminate!

    When I turn on my laptop the power button turns green and the disk drive can be heard for a few seconds, after that nothing happens. The screen remains black. I don't know how it happened.

    Hello

    Sounds like serious hardware problem.
    You are able to access the BIOS? Usually, you can access the BIOS by pressing F2 at the beginning.
    So if this is not possible, then it means that your card mother s cell phones likely to be affected. But also the defective RAM module might be possible

    In my opinion, the technician of the ASP must check these pieces of hardware.

    Hi MartynB_1,

    The SATA drivers, you can download on the official website of Toshiba and the driver is called Intel Storage Manager.
    But you must extract the files first until you can use them.

    Hello

    I know Equium L40 has Serial ATA but Tecra A3 IDE(Ultra ATA/100) interface interface. So, this means that you cannot replace hard drive Tecra A23 to Equium one.

  • Question about graphics cards for Equium L40 - 10 X

    HI - new to this, but really cut so I hope someone can help me. !

    I bought an Equium L40 - 10 X in August and thought it was good for what I wanted, especially after seeking advice and addressing the 'expert' at my local pcworld.

    However, I think that the graphics card is good enough to support the games I got - Medal of honor Warchest, Hitman Triple Pack and Call of Duty 2. They all sem to recommend a graphics card than nVidia as a minimum requirement. The card in the laptop is an Intel (r) 945 Express Chipset Family (I think) and the OS is Vista Home Premium.

    I have problems include the loss of graphics and stutter during playback.

    Can I have a nVidia graphics card or is the that I've had enough but I just need to change some settings?

    Really don't have an idea, so help would be much appreciated!

    Hello Dicker

    You are shown how the customer can purchase the wrong product. It may be your fault or due to bad Advisory Service. L40 books are pretty cheap with the average material. This laptop is good for everyday work (Office Automation, writing letters and surfing) but certainly not for the complex graphics applications and games.

    Sorry but there is not much to do. Only thing to do is to increase the RAM to the maximum, but forget the graphics card upgrade. Something like this is not possible.

    Good bye

  • The graphics card can be improved on the Equium L40 - 10 X
