How to disasemble the Satellite L40-139?

I unscrewed all the screws except one.
It is near the place under the hard drive...under the keyboard.
How to unscrew?

Hi
Why did disassemble the notebook if you have no idea how to do this exactly?
Sorry mate I dont know how someone should help you here in this case
I have no idea what screw you are meaning do you know why???
Because the notebooks parts are secured with many screws and it's neary impossible to say what screw secures a part....
notebook disassembling is tricky and this is not comparable to any desktop PCs.
Anyway. Maybe you will find some instruction in the internet which could help you
As far as I know Toshiba does not provide any disassemble manuals for download.

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 L40-139 - cannot use FN function with Windows 7

Hi
I have Satellite L40 - 139 PSL40E laptop, I was using windows Vista. When i was use Vista, i could use "FN" key for sound or others but then i setuped the Windos7 but now i cant use "FN" key for sound, becauze i cant find acessibility driver for Windows 7 that according to my laptop model.
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? ;)

Satellite L40 139 and Midi interface

I have an Satellite L40-139 which includes a SoundMax sound card (somewhere inside) and I would like to be able to use it as the basis for a Midi Music recording set up but I cannot get the computer to recognize the Phonic Midi to USB interface that I have.
Does the SoundMax card accept Midi data and how do I go about getting it to recognize it?

Hi Eldorado
Thanks for your reply.
I want to connect my midi keyboard To my L40 139 laptop and use a software sequencer to create music tracks.. Not a difficult think for a computer to do!
I have a Phonic USB-Midi interface which is just a bog standard interface, but when I link it via the usb port the laptop says it doesn't recognise it and fail to load it. The end result is that I am unable to use the keyboard to input any midi data into the sequencer.
You are right in the fact that I am using Windows Vista OS but I have not found any Midi interfaces for Vista as yet, but as Midi is designed to be universal (I thought) I would have expected something from it.
Thanks again

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.

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,

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 L40-139 can't boot from CD

I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 - 139 that comes with installed vista!
A month ago i installed XP and it was working ok!
Yesterday I needed to reinstal XP and i choose clean instal from cd and in a process of installing I pressed the button to open dvd drive and end it!
Stupid mistake! From that point if i try to boot Windows from a dvd drive and the process stops at: checking your hardware configuration! - and blank screen!
Nothing happens!
What can i do?
Evrything else seems to run ok!
It's not problem with dvd drive because it reads a recovery CD for vista!
Please help!!

Hi
To clear the MBR, boot from the XP cd and go into the Recovery console (Repair). In command prompt type the following:
fixmbr (new master boot record creation)
fixboot (incase you get message cannot find ntldr)
bootcfg /rebuild (incase the boot.ini is damaged)

Can Satellite L40-139 boot from a USB device?

Hello,
I have a new L40-139. Looking through the BIOS I cannot find an option to boot from a USB device such as a USB HDD or USB flash drive. Could someone confirm if teh L40-139 can boot from USB, and is so how to configure the BIOS for this.
If it cannot does anybody know if there are plans for a BIOS update that would allow this?
I have to admit that while I like the L40, I am disappointed at how limited the BIOS is.
Thanks,
R

Hello
I am not 100% sure but, as far as I know, you can not use USB HDD as first bootable device. USB FDD yes, but with external HDD it will not work.

Wi-Fi does not detect on Satellite L40-139

Hello!
I have a problem with Wi-Fi connection on Toshiba L40-139 under Windows XP Professional
I have all drivers for this model from this site.
Also Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG: 9.0.4.39 adapter was installed.
But during the installation there was an error "Couldn't install driver".
Wi-fi card does not detect by device manager
When I try connect to Wi-Fi network I have a message that there isn't any Wi-Fi devices on my notebook.
Help, please!

Hi
As Im not mistaken the L40-139 PSL40E supports the Atheros 802.11g WLan card.
And therefore you should use and install the Atheros Wlan card driver!!!
Additionally you should perform a BIOS update.
According to some postings here in the forum, the BIOS update helps to solve some WLan issues.
Check it out & good luck
Bye

How to recover the Satellite A10?

I have a Satellite A10.
After insering the recovery disk 1 the A tab instead of the C tab. Now I'm in DOS and I have no idea how to get back to my main page or D drive to continue with the recovery. I have no idea how to use DOS.

Hi
To be honest Im a little bit confused
The recovery procedure is very easy and you dont need to do anything in DOS.
In order to recover the notebook you have to boot from the recovery disk and have to follow the instruction on the screen.
The Satellite A10 series is old and the recovery procedure is different to the new procedure but you should definitely receive some messages how to proceeds
I recommend repeating the recover again;
Put the right recovery disk in the drive and boot from the CD by pressing the C button. You could use F12 and then you could choose CD/DVD drive in the boot menu

How to connect the Satellite Pro P100 to Hifi

I've got Satellite Pro P100. How to connect this notebook to HiFI
This is probably easy, but what can i say... just call me stupid.
I've got the lead that goes out of the headphone jack, it links up to my hifi nice.
Trouble being, there's a nasty hiss in the background. Tried plugging my boys mp3 player into the lead, and that works fine.
Any chance of some help... thanks

Hi
In my knowledge you can connect the Sat Pro P100 to HiFi only via a 2-RCA Audio Y cable adapter. In my knowledge the notebook does not support the S/PDIF audio out so you will be able only to use an analog sound port.
You could also buy a stereo adapter with 2x cinch jacks to connect the notebook to the Hifi. Such adapter can be plugged into the headphone jack
Check this:
stereo adapter
I think you should visit the nearest notebook dealer. He can show you the right and supported cables and adapters.

Hi
Check this page with the Toshiba Detection Tool:

Otherwise try to install the Tempro software.
This should help to get some details about the notebook.

I have a Satellite L40-139 and need to restore factory settings

The problem is, that the programme recovery disk doesn't automatically open and even holding down F8 at start up doesn't work as I get a different page on screen showing details from American Megatrends and no option to revert to factory setings.
Any ideas how I can bypass this? This page has only been showing for about a week.
Thanks

>The DVD just appears as a folder..
I hope you don't try to start recovery DVD under running operating system.
You know it works on a different way?
Start your notebook and press F12 several times to enter boot devices menu
Put recovery DVD into optical disc drive
Choose CD/DVD in menu and press ENTER
Follow the menu on the screen
Thats all you must do if you want to install OS using Toshiba recovery installations disc.
American Megatrends doesnt say anything to me and I don't know what are you writing about. such thing is not available on European notebook models and I don't know how you got it on your one.

Replacement Key needed for Satellite L40-139

Hi,
Please can anyone tell me where I can find a replacement key for the above laptop?
I cant seem to find one anywhere!
Thank you,
Claire

Hi
As far as I know you an remove the single keycaps but I doubt you could order just view keycaps instead of the whole keyboard.
Usually if some keys are broken, then you would need to replace the whole keyboard
At the other hand if you could try to purchase a second hand keyboard for L40 and could replace the needed keycaps
But note buddy; if the keyboard buttons dont functions, then a keycap replacement would not help you.

How to restore the Satellite L25 - where to get Recovery disk

Hi..
I wanted to format my hard drive on my L25 laptop which currently has Win XP, but am not sure if I ever got a recovery CD/DVD from the person I bought it from.
Does anyone know if this laptop (L25-s1192) would contain an image of the recovery disk or if I can get a recovery disk from somewhere or any other way to format the disk and reinstall the original contents of the laptop?
Would greatly appreciate if you could reply back.
Thanks.. Amare

Hi
Usually the older Toshiba series were equipped with the recovery disk and the Toshiba image is placed on the recovery cd.
If you have a recover disk then you will have to boot from such disk to start the recovery procedure.
If you dont have a recovery disk then you can use a clean Microsoft Windows XP CD to reinstall the OS and the necessary drivers could be downloaded from the Toshiba US driver page.
This is a US notebook and you have to search on US page for drivers.
Greats
