Equium M40X-149: Wrong Battery inserted

Very occasionally I get the above message on boot up. It's not a serious problem because I just switch off and it reboots OK.
I have ckecked BIOS upgrades but my machine is at the most current level.
Any ideas?

Hello Bob
I really dont know what happen in your case but I dont believe that there can be some serious issue like burning or something. I have also read about this issue and it was fixed with Battery Checker (V1.5.1M).
I really dont understood what you want to say with Toshiba have been remarkably quiet during this time!. The fact is that there are no similar claims for Equium M40x. Please contact Toshiba service partners in your country and ask for help. The addresses you can find under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true
Bye and good luck!

Equium M40x-149 - Icons on desktop apeared bigger

Hi there, I hope someone can help me.
I booted up my laptop today and the icons on the desktop appeared bigger. I right clicked on the desktop then went to properties-settings and noticed that the highest resolution I could get was 1024x768, but when I checked the spec of my computer online, I found that it should by as high as 1280x800.
My laptop is an Equium M40x-149. The slider only goes from 800x600 to 1024x768 there is no inbetween.
I have tried system restore but to no avail.
Help please

Hi
This sounds like that the display driver should be updated. Please check the Toshiba page for an update:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Before you install the newest version you should remove the old one first. Then restart the notebook and now install the newest version.
Normally if the display driver is installed correctly you should be able to choose the higher screen resolution.

Equium M40X-149: DirectX (Direct 3D) issue playing Loaded Silent Hunter III

Loaded Silent Hunter III in December 2005 after adding 512Mb RAM (total now 1Gb). Game has been running fine until now. Suddenly game fails to load with error message 'Cannot start 3D engine'. Have loaded latest Intel driver (dated Feb 06). Have loaded latest DirectX (v 9c) from MS site (dated Dec 05). Have uninstalled and reinstalled game from DVD. Still fails. DxDiag states 'Direct 3D functionality not available'....but it has been.
Game suppliers have run out of ideas.
You folks are my final hope...I'm going 'cold turkey' without being able to launch torpedos at ships!
All help gratefully accepted.

Hi
As far as I know this unit was delivered with a Mobile Intel 915GM Express Chipset AlvisoGM graphic card.
Toshiba recommend to use the own graphic card drivers because they are especially designed for notebook usage.
Please check this driver website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
There you should find a driver version 6.14.10.3943.
But generally its not easy to say why you game wont run.

Equium M40X-149 using with an HP 3130 Digital Projector

Hi..........new to this, so apologies before I start!
I have my M30 notebook and I am trying to link it to a new digital projector - an HP3130.
I have connected it up, turned it all on, started a slideshow on my notebook.........toggled the FN/F5 buttons (a screen comes up with three images on it, but no choice on how to select or use) and nothing appears on the screen.
What do I need to do to get them to work together?
Any ideas please?
Many thanks.
Paul

Mike is right.
Before you start application that should be shown on the projector change the desktop to projector only or make clone desktop.
You can do this using FN+F5 key combination.
When the desktop is shown on projector, start the application. I am pretty sure it will work well.

Equium M40X -Battery discharging. Please help!

I recently bought an Equium M40X - 149, and i couldnt understand why when the ac adapter is plugged in the battery discharges itself and the computer switches off! So i took it back to the shop and they said it is just the cycle of the battery and i would need to go into the bios to change the settings.
I went into the bios but i couldnt find anything that i could change to stop this!! Can anyone point me in the right direction as it is inconvinient for me to keep taking the battery out when i want to use the laptop!!
thank you
Gemma

Hello Gemma
I dont know if I have understood you right but if the notebook is connected to AC power supply it can not be possible that the unit switches off itself. Not because of power supply. If the unit is connected to AC power supply you can remove the battery and it should work without any problem.
Sorry but I have no explanation for this and in my opinion you should contact Authorized Toshiba service partner in your country. Explain them the problem and thay can check the unit. The warranty is valid and if there is some hardware malfunction the costs will be covered.
Bye

Equium M40X specification info needed

Good morning,
I am hoping that there is someone on the forum that can assist me.
I have a Toxhiba Equium M40X.
I have spent several hours on the Toshiba website this morning trying to find the specifications for this model.
Unfortunately my notebook has crashed.
I have been advised that the motherboard is cracked and I can no longer access the computer.
I didn't make a note of the specs and none of my paperwork gives this information.
It is a 15" laptop with CD/DVD player, has Centrino Intel, SRS Trusound, Microsoft XP.
I need to know the size of the memory and RAM and anything else you might think relevant.
Many thanks. Issyb

>The model is Equium M40X-1809 EN.
Thats wrong number it should be something like Equium M40X-XXX (ONLY three numbers)
You can see also a model number. It begins with PSM4ZE-xxxxx
Maybe its a Equium M40X-189????
Here is a Toshiba product page and info about this Equium-189

Equium M40X-189: I want to upgrade the CPU?

Hi,
i have Equium m40x-189 notebook with Intel Pentium M 730 processor(1.6/2M/533). I want to upgrade my CPU with Intel Pentium M780 processor(2.26/2M/533). Is it possible?

Hi
Please dont be mad on me but I think that forum is not the right place to pick up this kind of information. CPU exchange is very sensible area and I think you should contact service or some independent hardware upgrade store.
Basically CPU upgrade is not possible because of so-called permanent connection method. I dont want to say it is definitely not possible but CPU upgrade can but for result it can have some negative aspects like higher power consumption and much shorter running time with battery power supply, cooling will not be as before and I am afraid that cooling vent will run constantly.
What to say about performance. I believe you will not see much more difference because CPU on this unit is good enough and better, cheaper and without risk solution, is to upgrade RAM to maximum.

Equium M40X-189: How to connect RGB port to RS232 port?

Hi,
as you know the Equium M40X-189 P-M 730/XP has an RGP monitor port and does not have RS232 port.
Im working with Auto-titration device which require RS232 port for connection!
Any idea of how i can connect my notebook to this device!
pls help
thanks
Omrankl

Hi
As far as I know the RS-232 port is a serial port and I dont think that its possible to connect the RGB port to the RS232 port.
But I have found the useful website:
http://www.ontrak.net/usb.htm
There you will find a description how to connect the USB port to a RS-232 port.
You need a ADU interface.
Check the link.

Thanks

Yesyou can write DL discs with this machine.
I would reccomend that you stick to major brands like Maxell, TDK or Verbatim.

User manual for a Equium M40X-230?

Hi there,
The screen needs replacing on my Toshiba Equium M40X-230, and I've been looking for a online version (pdf) of the user manual for it (As it's second hand so I don't own any of the toshiba documents) I basically need it mainly for a insight of how the laptops screen is fitted, I was wondering if anyone can link me to it if they know of it's where abouts as I've checked the Toshiba website and my model isn't listed when I come to try and obtain it.
Thanks!
James

Thanks for the reply however, when it comes to selecting my model it is not listed. I can select the product series as M, but after that it doesn't have my model number listed.
Does this mean Toshiba do not have the user manual for my equium in a pdf format?
Thanks,
James

Cannot download Adobe Flash Player on Equium M40X-189

I am unable to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on my Equium M40X 189.
This is needed for many applications, and has recently become absolutely essential as BBC radio now only broadcasts on the internet via BBC i-player, which I cannot use without Flash Player.
I searched for help on this problem a while back and the advice then was that the BIOS needed to be updated.
I have today checked with the official Toshiba site, and it seems my BIOS is the current version and does not need updating.
Is there anyone out there who can help me solve this problem?
Many thanks

Sorry - perhaps I didn't spell out the problem correctly. I have tried downloading from all sort of pages on the web, including the official Adobe site and BBC Radio. I have also taken the Adobe advice and checked that I have uninstalled all other version of Flash Player before atempting to download. The same thing always happens - the download seems to start OK, but I get to the bit where the Adobe page says something like "when you can see the movie playing in the box above the installation is complete". Trouble is the movie never plays, and the player has not been installed.

Equium M40X - Can not open IE7 or sent email

I am using WXP home SP3 and the latest Atheros AR5005GS Wireless Network Adapter on my Equium M40X, and have no problem with creating wireless
connections .
But when I connected on to my Wi-Fi, and try to open IE7 or sent email from my office 2007 outlook the *"Connect To"* window appears but as it only as my dial up connections are displayed I cannot open my IE7 etc, however I can connect to my firefox browser as it not the default
As I need to use both my dial-up & wifi can anyone help me sort out as to why I am having this problem.

Hi!
This is strange but have you installed all updates for your Windows?
Maybe you should reinstall the notebook with the Toshiba recovery disk or you have a virus or something else on your computer. Update your antivirus program and let it scan for viruses.

Equium M40x-230 - Lost dispaly driver

Hi, I'm new here.
I have had this Toshiba laptop model Equium M40x-230 for about 4-5 years now. The hard drive is getting full so I thought I'd delete some unwanted files. I did 2 things
1) uninstall some programs which I don't use any more
2) use disk clean-up to remove unused files.
I thought I knew exactly what I was deleting, but when I was done, I found the display had gone weird.
When I checked, i found it was showing only a default driver. Even worse, when I went to the Recycle bin to try and undo what I had done, there were no files in it.
I have tried doing a system restore, but that doesn't work.
I went to the Toshiba website and searched for drivers for my laptop. It found 2 options. I downloaded each of these and tried to install them. The first one (Intel) said my system did not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. The other one (ATI) said the length of the specified directory path plus the installation folder name exceeds 88 characters and to shorten it?
Please can anyone help me get my display back to how it was. This is useable but looks awful and basic.
I know I'm a dummy so please be gentle with me.

Hi AnnieD,
Thats a typcial example that you should always know what you uninstall and which disk cleanup software you using. Such special software isnt always recommendable.
Anyway, it seems that your notebook is equipped with ATI card and therefore you need the ATI driver that you can download here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Before you install the newest version, make sure that you have removed the old one. Have a look in control panel > Add/Remove programs. Remove the ATI driver/software and restart your notebook. Now you should be able to install the driver again. :)

Equium M40x 230: display issue

My 2 week old equium M40x-230 with ATI x600 SE display adaptor has screen corruption problems at various times, in various programs. The screen will get 'snow'. It will redraw most of the time but sometimes freezes and will give BSOD pointing the finger at an infinite loop in ati2dvag.
I've reinstalled the display drivers which were the latest in any case and the BIOS is the latest 1.60 version.
Any ideas? Is this a case for warranty return?
Thanks
Ken

Hello Ken
It is really not easy to give you right advice but in my opinion you should back upr your data and reinstall the unit with recovery DVD. Please test the unit without installation of other applications. If the snow issue occurs again contact the service partner and let them check the unit.
If the problem occurs because of hardware malfunction the warranty will cover repair costs.

Equium M40x-189 - What drivers/utilities I need to install?

Dear All,
Equium m40x-189
Reloaded Windows XP, but havent found the Toshiba Utilities and drivers disk that must have come with the lappy, not a lot works and in Device Manager there are a load of devices with yellow alerts.
The internal wireless is not seeable, nor is a wireless card slotted into the PCMI expansion slot on the side.
These are just the first things I noticed were not available. Need wireless to get to the internet to register Windies.
I am not sure which drivers/utilities I need to download and install from the Toshiba download drivers web site.
Is there such a thing as a list or instructions any where that details what drivers/utilities are required to make all the 'bits' work on a newly Windows loaded laptop.?
Any help would be of immense value.
Best regards
Mark

Hi
As you already said on the Toshiba European driver download page you can download all necessary drivers and tools for your notebook.
Furthermore on the website you will find the installation instructions document. Use this list as a recommended driver and software installation order.
I think this is such a list that you mean so check this!!!
Last but not least I think must install every driver and download on the Toshiba page because they are necessary for a properly working notebook.
If you have more questions, please let us know.
