  You can see the effects of a hijackware infection!

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you tried to install SP2?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  Hello

  You will find on the A40 Pro Satellite 2 memory slots, and you can upgrade the memory for max 2 GB (2x1024Mo)

  It should be possible to use these modules:
  PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)
  PC2100 1 GB (PA3278U-1M1G)

  And

  I buy compatible parts and devices always form the Toshiba service partner in my country because I am so sure that the parts are compatible 100%.

• Satellite Pro A40 PSA45E - can be upgraded with BT module?

  I have the PSA45E-001YM-OF and write about if there is an internal space for a bluetooth device.

  The support site says that there is an updated driver for this machine which suggests there is a bluetooth device existing or that one can be authorized only by this machine.

  Requested orientation.

  Hello

  I found an info that the Satellite Pro A40 doesn t support the BT module and is therefore cannot be upgraded also with the internal module.

  What you can do is to use an external USB BT stick

• Need drivers XP for Satellite Pro A40

  Just do a fresh install of XP on a Satellite Pro A40 of second hand. Various onboard devices are not known (of in XP Device Manager) and I can't go through the process of "Install new hardware" that I don't have the drivers. The devices are mainly the Multimedia Sound Audio Card and the PCI Modem. I don't know what manufacturer made these, as XP ID device as unknown Manager.

  Anyone have any ideas or tips on how I can get the sound and PCI modem to work?

  (I'm not using the laptop for this message, even if it has access to the Internet).

  Thank you

  Looking for XP drivers?

  You can find all the XP drivers on the European driver Toshiba page!

  For the multimedia and Audio sound card, you need to install the audio driver and Modem PCI-> modem driver.

  You will find everything on the page of the driver.

  But note that buddy, there are also a few QFE Ms. This is usual Microsoft patches and fixes that are necessary and essential for the installation of the driver.

  Also check the Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update information. Sometimes the only drivers or utilities must be updated after the installation of service packs for MS!

  Good bye

• Change HDD on Satellite Pro A40

  Hello!

  I have a hard drive dead in my Satellite Pro A40, and I would like to replace it.
  Please tell me which model suits me. The size of 40 to 80 GB hard drive.

  Thank you!

  This old model was offered with 30 GB, 40 GB or 60 GB HDD. In my opinion you shouldn't have any problem, upgrade with 80 GB or even with max 100GB / 120 GB HDD.

  For example check please model Toshiba MK1032GAX. It is the old model with IDE interface and must be perfect for your machine.

  Incidentally: of course this old piece of equipment can scale up to 2 GB of RAM. How do you currently use? What operating system do you use?
  Sorry for the question, but it really is fascinating that many people still use old machines WXP. :)

• Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

  Hello

  The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

  Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

  Richard

  Hi Richard,

  I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

• What is HD-maximum capacity for Satellite Pro A40?

  Hello together,

  I got a (PSA45E) Satellite Pro A40 and now I need a new hard drive.
  My question is now, what is the maximum capacity for a hd you can plug in and are very by the BIOS?

  Thanks in advance.

  Doc

  Hello

  I think this old laptop HARD drive with IDE interface, so I think the upgrade up to 120 GB should be possible. I think that 80 or 100 GB should be enough for this good old classic.

  I hope you aren't the guy who wants to have 500 GB. :)

• Satellite Pro A40 fell on the wireless network card; Damaged PCMCIA slot

  This morning my Satellite Pro A40 (Celeron 2.6) fell 40 cm. He fell right on the wireless network card that has been inserted. This card is still alive and so is the rest of the laptop, but the PCMCIA location is little damaged. I can insert PC cards almost completely, just the last piece (when the pins are) wrong.

  I removed the cover near the CPU, and there, I could see the inside PCMCIA slot; I could see the main part and the last part where the pins are. That little part as is pushed upward, as you can see in the pictures.

  I think I'd be able to fix myself this PCMCIA slot, but I can't remove it. I removed all the screws on the rear plate, but he is still blocked.

  Pics:

  PCMCIA slot

  The PCMCIA location; on the left, you will see the part with the pins, which is pushed upward. It's also what I see when I look at the pins in the PCMCIA slot. as they are pushed down, but I don't think they are folded.

  Wireless network card

  Wireless network card; It is a little damaged but it still works.

  Does anyone have an idea how I can remove the back plate, or another way to remove the PCMCIA slot and fix it?

  Hi Steve

  Well, I can give t well you not answer how you can just remove the PCMCIA slot.
  There are a lot of screws and to my knowledge, it is necessary to remove all covers and screws that are placed at the bottom of the unit and inside under the keyboard.
  Please check this specific device. Perhaps you have overlooked a few screws.

  But if it is impossible to remove the PCMCIA slot of the unit, I recommend to ask the service partner for a detailed instruction.

  Good luck

• You are looking for an internal DVD drive for a Satellite Pro A40

  Hello

  I'm looking for an internal DVD burner for a model Satellite Pro A40 2.88 Celeron with a currently installed CD-RW/DVD-Rom. My mother is the owner of this laptop and I want to upgrade the drive for her.

  Does anyone here know of any number of model of the DVD-RW/CD-RW/DVD-Rom that is compatible with this model.

  I want the drive to function as a DVD-Rom/CD-RW also because I do not want to lose these features. Swap the bezel above if necessary isn't a problem for me.

  Thank you

  Hello
  For this particular model, I could not find another A40 Pro which has a DVD - RW, only DVD ROM. I also suggest to buy an external DVD - RW writer because an internal hard drive will cost much more. Probably triple what external there. External, you can find for about 50 but internal will cost at least about 90 more taxes. I'm sure it is internal that correspond to this machine, but at the moment I don't have the time to research each compatible model search of the car, it's why I suggest an external drive. I hope this helps.

• Satellite Pro A40: Is it possible to format the HARD drive without disk

  I am passing on a Satellite Pro A40 to a brother. It is in very good condition, but has slowed down over the years. I want to get rid of my data (I have on a new machine) and speed up the system by formatting the hard drive.

  The machine didn't come with a disc for Windows XP, or a recovery CD (just a CD "tools and utilities"). I'm sure the drive HARD will be partitioned, and I can format the drive without such a disc.

  If this is true, how should I do?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I can't believe that you do not have recovery media.
  The laptop must be supplied with recovery CD, Tools & Utilities CD, and WinDVD.

  But back to your question;
  If you insert a new HARD disk, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows to install the operating system.
  The new drive is not partitioned HARD and doesn't have any OS pre-installed!

  If you n t have the original CD of Microsoft OS you can contact the service provider allowed in your country and you can order it.

  I hope I could help
