Poor sound with my Satellite M40-230

I just bought my notebook M40-230 and when play music the sound is very poor and bad. It is common or there is a problem with my speakers?

Hello
Please go to Toshiba download site and install the newest sound driver. If there is some clicking noise check also Sound cards power mode. Set it please to No Power Savings.
You can find it in Control panel under SoundMAX.

Problem with keyboard and audio on Satellite L40

Hi everybody,
I just installed XP SP2 on my Satellite L40 (BTW thanx to all you that have helped me overcome the problems during this operation with your threads), but I have some problem with my keyboard. I have an azerty keyboard and after I installed xp, it worked as a qwerty, I repared it, now all my letters are working fine, but i have some problems with some symbols, such as @, !, _,if you understand me.
Could somebody help me???
I also have problems with my audio, in fact I have no audio at all, in control panel it says that no audio device is found.
I saw some threads that said that I should first install kb888111, and another likely thing, but i can't find the other one. I've downloaded the sound driver from the toshiba website; thanx for helping me in that field also.
bye

i do not know what to do.....Does anybody else knows....

what can i do ? how can i find ?
thnx

Hi Buragh,
I agree with the user above. You have to install Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility. Both tools you can download here:

In forum there are many threads about FN keys. They should be useful so did you read it already? ;)

Need WXP hardware drivers for Satellite L40-139

Hi!
It seems that there are no XP drivers available for the Satellite L40-139.
Could anyone please tell me where I can download drivers for the following devices:
-Satellite L40-139
-Audio device
-Graphics controller
-ACPI controller!
-Some chipset drivers (?) (PCI Subsystem or something)
I should really appreciate any help!
Kind regards!

Hi,
unfortunately there are no drivers available from toshiba at the moment, but you can try using generic drivers from the manufacturers of the hardware
(e.g. if the soundhardware is a realtek soundcard then download drivers from www.realtek.com and so on..) and run the machine with these drivers.
Here are some link which could perhaps help you:
Video drivers
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
http://www.omegadrivers.net/
Chipset drivers
http://www.intel.com
Sound drivers
http://www.realtek.com
I hope you can find the drivers you need..

Satellite L40 won't shut down with power connected, and won't go in standby

Hi everybody. I hope someone can help me. Basically, there are two problems: one with shutting the laptop (Satellite L40-17U (Vista 32-bit Home Premium SP1) ) down when the power is connected, and one with closing the lid and putting it to sleep.
1. Since a few weeks, it suddenly doesn't want to shut down, whenever the power is connected. When it is on battery, it will shut down. When the power is connected and I try shutting it down, it seems like it shuts down (all activity ceases and the LEDs go off) for about 1 or 2 seconds, and then it goes back on.
2. When I close the lid (all settings in Vista are set to put the laptop in 'sleep' status when the lid is closed) the laptop goes into a state from which it can only be recovered by shutting it down by pressing the on/off button for about 10 seconds to completely shut it down. When closing the lid, only the battery LED keeps blinking orange (the way it should be), but apparently the laptop keeps consuming power, because when I reboot it later (first having to shut it down as described above) the battery tends to be quite a emptier than it was before rebooting it (like going from 100% to 65% in 30 minutes, while being in 'sleep' state). Also, when I open the lid, the other LEDs do go on again (green), but nothing happens.
After rebooting by first pressing the on/off button for 10 seconds to shut it down, I frequently get a message that Windows could not be started, and have to run System Repair.
I've just done a completely clean installation with the product recovery CD (didn't install SP1 yet), upgraded the BIOS to v1.90, but the problem remains.
I'm afraid my only option will be to bring it away for a warranty repair, but knowing that these repairs can take weeks, I'd prefer to try a solution anyone here could recommend me first. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
Daniel Breslauer

Hi guys
Never had such issue on my notebook but regarding to another users here in the forum the BIOS might help to solve such strange notebook behavior
To be honest the shut down issue is not known to me I noticed an standby issue on my notebook but the BIOS update helped.
Therefore I recommend updating the BIOS firstly.
If the issue will still appear, then the ASP should take a look into the notebook.
Good luck

Satellite L40 with no Wi-Fi after Update of Vista

Hey there,
i got a Toshiba Satellite L40-137 and installed the Service Pack 1 of Vista.
And now my WLan/Wifi is just deactivated with no information which driver I need or something..
Well, it seems like this is a common issue because i googled lots of similar questions but found no proper answer.
Some Facts:
1) The little lamp at the bottom of the keyboard doesnt work
2) the connectivity doctor just tells me wifi is "deactivated"
3) fn+f8 does absolute nothing
In case you got any workaround I'd be pretty thankful! :)
Thanks a lot,
Heiko

Hi heiko_1,
That means this happened after Service Pack 1 installation on Windows Vista?!
Well, in my opinion you can solve it with driver reinstallation. Just follow the link posted by Mike30 and download the latest version. This should work.

Satellite L40-17R - FN Sound Volume Hotkey problem - Windows XP

Hi,
I've recently bought Satellite L40-17R (PSL4CE) without OS preinstalled. I've installed Windows XP Home Edition SP 2.
Then I have installed all drivers I have found for this model on Toshiba driver site. I've even upgraded BIOS.
After that all Fn hotkeys works fine *except those responsible for volume control (Fn + Up/Down Arrow, Esc)*.
I have searched the forum for solution of this problem and found this topic
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=113113
but I am unable to install +ATK Hotkey Utility+ and +ATK Hotkey Driver+ since I cannot find *Driver Package* at Toshiba driver site:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
as if it was removed.
I also studied instructions from
http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/install-20071214121932.zip
Driver Package is also mentioned there on page 7, 8, 9 but it does not appear in a +Driver type+ listbox as described.
Also when I don't specify "Driver type" field in the search form there is no any Driver Package in search result.
Can anybody tell me where to find Driver Package, ATK Hotkey Utility or ATK Hotkey Driver for Satellite L40+ Win XP?
Am I missing something? Is my Toshiba drivers link not up to date? Is there any other solution to make sound hotkeys work?
Mao

I've tried Ubuntu Linux on L40-17R and it can control the brightness automatically. For example, when u plug out the AC power (i.e. switch to battery) the brightness goes down to certain level automatically. And It can maintain the brightness level after rebooting.
I cannot find the same feature in Windows XP.
I think this is due to the missing of power saver utility. It can control the brightness automatically. and also for all other options.

Problems with sound regulator in Satellite A300

Hello everyone!
I have weird problem with my sound regulator in A300. When I use "wheel" in front of laptop, next to headphones input etc., sound turns up and down very irregulary- I try to turn up the sound and it twitches around constant level of volume ending at 10% of desired level. I tried to reinstall sound drivers but it didn't work and all in all I have no idea if there are any other things I can do to fix this.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.

I had the same issue with my Satellite U400.
The volume wheel controller was dirty in my case.
I used an compressed air spray and could remove the dust between the sensors.
This helped a little bit.
Now the volume level does not jump too much while increasing or decreasing the volume level.

Cannot use MS Paint tool - error with Vista on Satellite L40-139

I have recently reinstalled my windos vista home premium from the back up disk as my laptop refused to start up and the start up recovery file was not found...
Since this i have tried to load the Paint application and got an error: microsoft paint has stopped working,
When i tried to access the event viewer to check for erros i get another error...
Microsoft Management Console has stopped working...
iI dont know what to do i need paint as i have no office programs and having problems accessing a link from a site.
I use regularly and need to send in a screen shot....
Any help would be highly appreciated, i
toshiba satellite l40-139
windows vista home premium SP2 32bit,
1gb ram

Hi
Just one tip;
If you need an office application then I recommend OpenOffice.
Its open source software similar to MS Office and you can use and download it for free!
Back to your Pain issue;
Paint is a part of the OS Windows. Its not possible to uninstall this.
The paint.exe file is placed in c:\windows\system32\ folder
It seems to be an OS error.... possibly the system is muddled up....
try to clean the OS using the CCleaner...
it cleans the registry and maybe it helps to get rid of this error...
otherwise you will need to reinstall the OS...

Satellite L40: How do I recover files from Hard Drive

Hi
Can anyone help me please. About one week ago I started experiencing a clicking sound coming from my Satellite L40 laptop. My laptop froze and when I restarted it, I was directed to the system setup with a message at the bottom saying
"Pri Master Hard Drive Disk SMART status bad, Backup and replace.
Press F2 to presume."
I have pressed F2 but I haven't a clue what to do?
Can anyone tell me how to backup my files before my hard drive has completly gone or if it has gone can I use another device to get them off.
I have tried to use the recovery disk but the disk is not responding??
Please help
Pete

Hi
This messages looks like an warning notification from the S.M.A.R.T.
It does mean that your HDD will eventually fail.
It could happen next days or it may not happen for a few months but the SMART capability has detected that the drive is going bad so it should be replaced as soon as possible.
It looks like your notebook is not very old so the warranty should cover all replacements.
I see only one way to access and backup the data. Possibly you could buy an external USB SATA HDD enclosure and could connect the HDD to another computer.
Im not sure if you will be able to access the HDD due to the malfunction but if you want you could try this.
Good luck

Sound distortion after virtual sound installation on Satellite A80

My sound distorts after i install virtual sound, it is driving me mad. I downloaded all the toshiba drivers.

Hello
Usually the sound should be much better using this tool. I can really not explain why this happen. Try to reinstall sound driver.
The unit is delivered with WXP Home and I assume that you try to install your own OS, probably professional edition. All drivers and tools should work properly with WXP professional too. Please check the installation instructions that can be also downloaded from Toshiba download site (http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/Satellite/sa80/win-xp/install-xp-na.zip). All this stuff must be installed in particular order.
Bye

Re: Satellite L40-18X PSL48E: brightness goes back to max after every reboot

Hello,
i have Satellite L40-18X, short model: PSL48E
bought it with Vista, the bios is version 1.70.
There is very annoying problem with the brightness regulator of the display:
Every time i restart the Vista OS the brightness is set to Maximum and i have to switch it back to smaller brightness.
By hibernating the OS there is no problem - brightness is just fine as i leaved it - the same percent.
The Fn keys + F6 and F7 are working fine, in OS and in BIOS - everywhere, but after i start the OS the brightness is on the highest level
Absolutely the SAME problem is in windows XP (with the same bios 1.70) - Fn keys are working fine, but when os starts - brightness is always on Max level, by hibernating is OK.
Can you give me suggestion?
Now i don't want to reflash the bios, because on the website there is older version 1,60 for Vista and i cannot have the mine version.
Appreciate any help :)

You are right, the power profiles in vista have brightness regulator, and from there
the problem is fixed :) Thanks.
Now stays the Windows XP sp2 with the same brightness problem. All drivers are working
- wlan, sound, everything - I've downloaded the xp drivers from the site.
I installed these:
1)ATK Hotkey Driver\2ksetup.exe
2)ATK Hotkey Utility Driver\Setup.exe
-hotkeys are working, but same problem by reboot of OS - brightness @ Max level
I checked what apps start automatically - D:\Program files\ ATK Hotkey\Hcontrol.exe
starts - it is responsible for the hotkey menu. I tried with and without this app -
but no fix. Any other suggestions? (In power profiles of Win XP there are no settings
for brightness :( ) Will the problem be fixed if i install the XP bios, because as I said I doesn't want to install another version, because i will loose my "new" 1.70 bios
(not available for download)?

Satellite L40-139 won't start

?02-19-2014 06:41 PM - edited ?02-19-2014 06:45 PM
Hello, i have a problem with SATELLITE L40-139
the thing is when i press power button, hard drive diode starts to flash, diode on cd-rom is lighted and the screen is black. I noticed that electornics in the CD-ROM makes a sound tick in the same way the hdd diode flashes (when it flashes i hear a tick form cd-rom, yes i unfolded whole notebook).
I can only say that i connected HDD to my PC and it's working., well fan isn;t working too but i think it will start, after some time (like always it did)
Now lets say about notebook crash circumstances: That was a year ago, it fell from 1 inch (such height ;]) i saw that ribbon cable that was connecting touchpad to the mohterboard was broken, and my computer diidn't start, i thought theres a problem, but i forgot about it and left the notebook for over 9 months (with disassebled hdd, cd-rom and battery) then i decided to try to switch it on.
And viola! it works it boots etc.
So after a month of being happy i got drunk that i couldn't sit on chair and i decided to lie with my laptop on bed, i just lied down and put notebook on my stomach and it crashed (freezed screen) i decided to reboot it, but it won't start.
Heres a video with what i get during powering it up: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC0pGBBVwJk] (not luckily my phone fell into mud and lags when i record videos)
Some people suggested that i should connect external display to see if theres any image, but the result is still the same. (Screen does not even power on)
Maybe someone could help me fix it without sending it to customer service.
Cheers.

>So after a month of being happy i got drunk that i couldn't sit on chair and i decided to lie with my laptop on bed, i just lied down and put notebook on my stomach and it crashed (freezed screen) i decided to reboot it, but it won't start.
I think the notebook overheated or something like that
Maybe its just an RAM problem and therefore it would be useful to test the unit in connection with new, tested RAM modules but this is only an idea
As Dr.Lamp already said, in worst case it might be a motherboard problem and this would mean that notebook fix would be a costly affair.

How do i uninstall soundcard from bios on a Satellite L40?

I bought a Creative Soundblaster 5.1 and having problems with it installing. The Creative technical team advised to uninstall or diasble internal soundcard via device manager. Tried this and everytime computer re-boots the soundcard is re-installed.
The team advised I should uninstall it from bios. I only have a very basic knowledge of computers so it would be appreciated if someone could point me in the direction of instructions, or guide me through it.
I have a Satellite L40 notebook and Vista is operating on the computer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi to do this you need to disable the sounds card in the BIOS.
Switch off the laptop, not sleep or hibernation, but totally off.
Then switch it on and start pressing F2 immedialty, do not hold but do repeated presses. This will take you to the BIOS.
then look for intergrated periferrals and hit enter to open menu for it, then select disable.
That should do it.

No sound with WXP - Satellite L40
