Equium L40-156 RAm

any body has an answer :
is 200-Pin PC2100 (266MHz) DDR SODIMM RAM compatible with Equium L40-156 RAm
thanks.

Nope. That system requires DDR2 RAM (667 MHz) You need THIS memory, not just the type, but the brand.

Equium L40-156 boot up problem

I have an Equium L40-156. When I press the power button the power light comes on but there appears to be no hard disk activity. If I manually switch it off by pressing the power button for several seconds, leave it for a couple of seconds and press the power button again it starts normally.
Any ideas please?

Hi mate,
Did you recently updated your BIOS, installed some more RAM/another HDD or some software?? Maybe some driver update??
Since when does the error appear? And do you have still warranty on it?
So, if yes, then bring your machine to an authorized service partner and let them check your machine. Would be the best...
Greetings

Does Equium L40-156 supports internal mic

Hi.
We have a laptop Equium L40-156.
We have problem with a microphon!
We can hear people who are calling us (by Skype) but they can't hear us.
Is it possible that we don't have a microphon inside a laptop?
Or is it something wrong with setting?Thak you

Did you check the microphone device in the Skype options?!
What device was chosen?
In my opinion this notebook was not equipped with the internal mic. You will need an external one!

Is it possible to install windows XP on Equium L40-156

Hi, I want to install windows XP on my laptop. Is it possible to do it? and where I can get drivers?

Hi
Of course its possible to install the XP on this notebook.
I checked the official Toshiba website and found out that the Equium L40-156 belongs to the PSL49 series!
This series number is important to get compatible Xp drivers from the Toshiba European driver page.
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
On this page you can find an XP driver package for you notebook!
Very important is the BIOS update. If you want to use the XP on this Vista notebook you have to update the BIOS to the XP version!!!
Without the right BIOS some Toshiba features like FN keys could not work!!!
Best regards

Re: Equium L40-156 - How can I turn on wireless?

Please help!
Toshiba Equium lL40-156 wireless swich or FN+F8 wont turn on wireless function.
Never used it before but the light used to come on.

Hello
If you want to enable WLAN card you must move WLAN switch to position ON and then use FN+F8 key combination to enable WLAN card.
I don't know what do you mean with your last posting but if you install Vista again the WLAN card will be installed properly and must be shown in device manager.
When finished do what I wrote and I am pretty sure the WLAN card will be enabled properly.
Good luck!

Equium L40-156 - Vista to XP

I made my own copy WinXP, I used nLite to put sata drivers, I made boot cd with new XP, when I restarted my laptop I can see DOS screen.
Do you know what command I have to use to start XP instalation?
Thanks

The nLite program creates a simply, bootable XP CD!
You dont need any commands to start the OS installation. You have to boot from the new XP CD and the OS setup should start.
If this not possible then I assume you did something wrong and the new created XP CD is not bootable.
In such case I would recommend to create new XP CD and to implement the Intel Storage Manger again!
Best regards

Equium L40-156 - Indicator WLAN sometimes not work

Hello peoples - has anyone any idea wha this is bout?
I cant seem to find a similar problem anywhere. The indicator light for the wireless connection will sometimes not work - as a result i have to manually go into network connection and turn on wireless cap. - this will not turn the light on but does allow me to access the internet.
This happens for a few weeks and then it all rights itself for a few weeks,
Then it happens again.

Hi
Do you mean this issue happens sometimes but in most cases you can enable the WLan properly?
First of all to enable the WLan you have to move the WLan antenna switch to ON (be sure that it has been switched properly to the right) and you have I use the FN+F8 key combination.
Usually this enables the WLan.
Im not sure why the WLan antenna switch does not work sometimes maybe its a hardware issue; for example loose connection or the switch was not moved properly who knows
Maybe it would be a good idea to ask an technician for a WLan switch check...

Equium L40 - upgrade questions

Hi, I have an Equium L40-156 PSL49E running Vista Home Premium.
I have 3 questions: (due mainly to a desire to upgrade things)
1. What is the max hard drive capacity supported?
2. What is the max memory configuration suppored?
3. What are the benefits of upgrading to BIOS 2.00-WIN?
Thanks in advance for any assistance, regards, Chris.

Hello
I will try to help you with your questions:
Friend of mine has Satellite L40 and I can confirm that you can upgrade it with 200 GB SATA HDD. Service told him it is max capacity according the Toshiba.
Is this enough for you?
RAM can be upgraded up to 2 GB. It is the max supported value.
About BIOS updates there are no specific information. If your notebook runs well you must not update it at all.

Upgrade RAM for Equium L40-10X

I want to upgrade the RAM in my Equium L40-10X from 1GB to at least 2GB - I read that's the highest it can be upgraded to??
I want to know what RAM it takes though so I know what I'm looking for to buy!!
Any help appreciated
Thanks,
Jake

I cant find that exact model, is it a UK model?
The other L40's are 2GB max.
You need to use RAM that has the same specs as the original RAM, which is DDR2 667MHz (PC5300) SODIMM
Buy quality brand-name RAM with similar CAS/RAS timings. Cheap RAM can corrupt your data and cause BSOD's or instability.
You can view the CAS/RAS memory timings in CPUID (google is your friend)

Equium L40-10X: Need details about memory

I am thinking of upgrading the RAM memory on the above, but can't find the model or specification on the UK website (other members of the Equium family range are on the "Laptops" section of the webpage, but my model frustratingly is not!) -
I am particularly interested as I want to get the correct type of memory (original or generic) - can users help me on this?.
My main reason for increasing the RAM memory is that the laptop seems disappointingly slow with the standard 1GB ram which i belive is fitted as 2 x 512mb -
If any users have any other tips for speeding the laptop up, please let me know.
Incidentally, powering up takes about 50-60 seconds and shutdwon 40-50 seconds, is this normal.
The laptop is currently as per facory fit specification.

The ram required is pc2 5300 200pin sodimm.
You can purchase this from dabs.com for appx £30 for the 2gb kit ( 2 x 1gb modules) .
I also did this and it makes the equium L40 run better. This along with vista sp1 and the atheros wifi driver version 7.6.0.70 from this site made my notebook a much better pc.
You can use the crucial memory selector on the dabs site to go exactly to this ram then place your order.
Good luck.

Equium L40 10X Blinking green power LED

Hi Guys,
I have an old Equium L40 that I haven't used it in a while.
Now when I plug the power adapter in the power led just blinks green constantly.
I've checked the blink codes but I can't find one for mine. It simply turns green for a second and then off.
Then green for a second then off and does this constantly.
I've tried removing the battery for a few minutes and then holding the power button down for a minute, but I just get the same result. The power adapter is a the one that came with the laptop and as far as I can tell works fine.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks guys!

Hi
Power Indikator (DC IN) indicates the power status with the AC adaptor connected.
The green (not blinking) means power is being supplied and the computer is turned on.
The power indicator on the front of the computer will glow green when the computer is switched on.
The blinking amber indicates power is being supplied to the computer while the notebook is in sleep mode.
Unfortunately, the DC IN green blinking status looks like a hardware problem.
Probably the power supplied to notebook is abnormal or there are some problems with power supply electronic on the motherboard.
By the way: please check the RAM modules. Remove one and test the unit using only one module in each slot. Check both modules.
Some years ago, a friend of mine has had some problems with the notebook. The blinking LED indicated the RAM issue

CD/DVD drive open on its own - Equium L40

Hi,
I have a Equium L40-10X laptop bought recently from Pc World. It's been working fine until recently my cd/dvd drive popped open on its own. I closed it and then about 10 minutes later it did it again. This happens every so often. After a bit of research I found out it could have been a spyware issue. Scanned, and removed all traces etc. Problem appeared to be gone, but alas, the drive once again popped open.
Recently the drive is not reading discs as well. It seems to work when it wants for any time between 10 seconds and an hour at a time. The things got a mind of its own....and when it's not working, the button to open the drive doesn??t seem to work. I have to use a paperclip to open the drive.
Either I have a haunted laptop or there's something wrong.
Has anyone had any experience of anything like this before or have any advice on what to do?
Thanks, Jon.

Hi mate
I didnt notice something like this before but I presume its a mechanical problem.
Dont think 3rd party software (program, spyware, virus, etc) could cause this issue.
Additionally you have said that the drive is not reading discs as well.
In such case I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country and to ask for the drive check and if necessary for an ODD drive replacement.
If the warranty is valid the replacement should be done for free.
Best regards

Authentification when I want to download the driver pack for Equium L40

I already registered my laptop for the warranty, and i have a user name and password, but it seems that i need to register at that specific site from which I'm trying to download and that is a different page on which I didn't found any registration button. The driver pack I'm talking about it's for an Equium L40 10Z laptop. Any ideas ?
Message was edited by: mnemonik

No panic dude... it looks like a driver server issue.
I have read in this forum that some routine maintenance must be done.
I would recommend checking the driver page in next few days.
