Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE restarts automatically after shutdown

Hi,
I have an issue where my laptop starts up automatically after seemingly going into hibernation and shutting down by closing the lid. (I have it configured so it goes into hibernation when i close the lid.)
The strange thing is that this only happens when it's hooked up to the power supply. If i close the lid when it's on battery power it goes into hibernation and remains shut down as it should.
This all started when i changed my power scheme from "Balanced" to "Performance". Setting it back to "Balanced" did not help, nor did setting it to the lowest setting. Also, it used to come back out of hibernation automatically after i opened the lid, this no longer happens either.
I am unsure of whether this is a software or hardware issue.
Over the weekend i've reinstalled the laptop using the supplied recovery discs and applied all updates and patches for Vista but the problem remains, so now i am leaning more towards it being a hardware issue even though i have no idea what kind of hardware malfunction could be causing this.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this behavior?

Hello,
Thanks for the replies. I'm afraid i haven't found any solution yet.
Over the weekend I installed Ubuntu on this laptop and tried to hibernate but it demonstrated the exact same behaviour as under Vista. it shuts down and like 10 seconds after it boots back up. this leads me to believe that the problem is hardware related in some way. it would surprise me that both vista and a linux distro would have the exact same issues. So now i'm back on the Vista i restored using the restore discs.
I haven't tried installing a windows xp yet though i suspect i'll have the same issues.
@Sasha
The thing is that the problem isn't in windows hibernating or not shutting down when the lid closes. It does that part just fine. What it shouldn't do however is restarting by itself whithout my intervention several seconds after it shut down. no matter the setting, that can't be normal behaviour.
@borge & Jonnie
Have any of you already had contact with the toshiba helpdesk on this issue? if so, what did they say? i haven't had the time to call them yet.
I'll update as i find out more.

  • Mac Mini restarts automatically after shutdown

    This has been happening for a few months. (I have to run older Macs for Rosetta.) After the reboot, when I hit shutdown, it shuts down.
    I looked at other forums and no one has an answer. The Mini otherwise runs fine. It's most annoying as I want to shut down and leave the office but have to wait for the reboot and then shut down a second time. Any ideas?

    Try unplugging all USB and Firewire accessories (except for your mouse) from the Mac Mini and see if it will shut down properly.
    If it does, plug one back in at a time and see which one is interfering with the shutdown!
    What apps do you continue to run that need Rosetta?

  • Satellite Pro L40 wont boot after changing BIOS settings

    Alright changed a few settings in the bios last night and now when I boot I get a black screen lights flash and that hard drive light comes on but nothing on screen.
    There was no password on bios,... how would I reset BIOS to normal?
    I put a windows disk on I can hear the disk spinning but nothing on the screen
    (I think I have come to the right place on the forum)
    Its a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 model psl4be.
    Thanks

    >There was no password on bios,... how would I reset BIOS to normal?
    You can set the BIOS to default ONLY inside the BIOS so you have to access the BIOS pressing F2 or at the beginning of the booting order
    But I doubt that this problem is related to the BIOS.
    Maybe its just a simple bad luck that this issue happened just exactly after changing something in BIOS.
    Try to connect an external monitor and check if you can see something on 2nd display.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - Sound Driver after Windows XP SP3 Install

    Hi,
    I had bought the Satellite Pro L40 about 6 months ago and the speed of the laptop was too slow with windows Vista. So I decided to install an old copy of windows XP that I had bought earlier. I upgraded the windows installation to SP3 before installing all the drivers.
    Now all the drivers have been installed properly except the sound driver. I downloaded the XP version of the driver from the toshiba website but it did not work. So I though maybe the vista version would work, so I downloaded that. But that didn't work either.
    Can anyone suggest a solution where I can get the sound driver to work? Preferably without having to get the windows reinstalled again.
    Please help me out...!
    Thanks

    hi there,

  • Memory upgrade on Satellite Pro L40-15d

    Hi
    I have Satellite Pro L40-15d with 512 memory (Samsung) but I wont upgrade to 1GB. I have Kingston ktt667d2/1g I have tray to put in to both slots but nothing work I cant switch on computer.
    But when I change for old one laptop is ok. What can I do? Install special program or update BIOS or maybe the memory stick is broken.
    Regards

    Hi
    The notebook doesnt boot after the memory upgrade due to these different issues;
    - memory modules are not compatible together
    - memory modules are not compatible with the notebook
    - memory modules are faulty
    - one of memory slots is faulty
    In most case the memory module replacement helps.
    One hint; did you try to switch the memory modules in the slots? Sometimes this helps.
    Several weeks ago I have updated my memory and the notebook didnt boot.
    I thought its a memory malfunction but after module switching the notebook booted correctly.
    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro L40: black screen but faint image in the background

    Satellite Pro L40-17H (PSL4BE-00T005EN)
    Hello,
    I would appreciate some help with the following problem:
    SYMPTOMS: Screen is black, but I can see that there is a faint image in the background.
    I get a good image in external monitor.
    I suspect, _among others_, that there may be a faulty *lid sensor/switch*, but I have been unable to locate it, although I have disassembled the unit.
    If somebody knows, please let me have the exact *location* where I should look for the switch.
    Thank you

    Thank you RandyRoberts
    You are probably right, it is likely that the inverter is faulty, or it might be a bad lamp.
    Nevertheless, I cannot exclude the possibility that there is a bad or stuck lid switch. That is why I insist to check that one out as well.
    I would still like to know where the lid switch is located on the L40.
    Thanks and regards.

  • How to get Mavericks server that is connected to a UPS to restart automatically after a power outage.

    This is driving me crazy. Is there anyone running Mavericks as a mission critical server on Backup Power Supplies that has a way to get the servers to restart automatically after a power outage. The UPS vendors all have software for Windows, but not Macs, and the setting in System Preferences, doesn't work with the UPS's Iv'e tried (2 different APC models (Smart and Back-UPs), one Triplite (Smart) and one CyberPower, (all claiming to be Mac compatible))

    APC do apparently still do a command-line daemon (PowerChute Network Shutdown) which monitors over the network the UPS and will cleanly shutdown the Mac. For lower-end UPS devices these are typically connected via a USB cable and the built-in Apple System Preferences let you control the options - if it is a model supported. There is however a big limitation of using a USB connection which is that you can only connect a single computer to a UPS via USB and of course most companies have multiple servers.
    It maybe that what is happening even if you use APC's software is the following -
    Power failure detected by UPS
    Signal sent to Mac
    Computer does a clean shutdown
    Power restored
    UPS has no way to tell Mac because it is shutdown and Mac does not support 'Wake on LAN' if fully shutdown
    The Mac does have an option to 'Startup automatically after a power failure'. However this might only take place if the Mac is not cleanly shutdown, it could be that if the Mac is cleanly shutdown it does not count this as a power failure. If this is correct then there is nothing that can be done as users to resolve this, the only way it could be resolved would be if Apple provided a way for a tool like APCs software to both do a clean shutdown and set a flag as this being due to a power failure so that when the Mac does detect the power being restored it triggers the Mac in to booting.
    In the dim and distant past when Macs used ADB to connect keyboards and mice the ADB interface did support an external power-on signal. This does not exist for USB.
    Personally I have regarded the APC software (PowerChute Network Shutdown 3.0.1) to be so badly supported and so old as to be too risky to use. It lists 10.7 and 10.8 but not 10.9 and uses Java 1.6 which itself is unsupported. There is a third-party tool you might want to look at called NUT (Network Ups Tools) see http://www.networkupstools.org
    NUT is free and lets you do clever things like -
    Connect a single computer via serial or USB to the UPS
    Act as a 'server' over the network to other computers sharing the UPS
    When power failure is detected the NUT 'server' sends a signal to the NUT 'clients' so all of them know that there is a power failure and can do their own clean shutdowns
    This gets round only being able to connect a single computer via USB.

  • SSRS 2008 R2 Services not restarting automatically after reboot

    SSRS 2008 R2  Reporting instance not restarting automatically after patches install.  Is there a way to resolve the issue
    Windows 2008 R2 Server

    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control.
    3.  In the right pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry.
    Note If the ServicesPipeTimeout entry does not exist, you must créate it. To do this, follow these steps:
    a.On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    b.Type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.
    c.Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
    d.Click Decimal, type 60000, and then click OK.
    This value represents the time in milliseconds before

  • Satellite Pro L40 - What is a average battery runtime?

    Hi there,
    I just recently received my Satellite Pro L40 and am just wondering what the average battery runtime is? Once fully charged it only seems to be able to handle 1hour max. Is this normal?
    The laptop I had before was the same, but my friends laptop, which is more than a year older than mine, runs for more than 3 hours on a fully charged battery.
    Is there a fault??
    Thanks

    Hi
    It is not easy to answer this question because the battery working time depends from the notebook usage. You should know that you will be able to run the notebook much longer on battery power using only some common applications like Word or Internet Explorer.
    Playing games, watching DVDs or burning the CD/DVD waste more battery power because the performance of the single devices is much higher!!!!
    Fact is that the Pro L40 notebook was equipped with high-tech parts and devices. The notebook supports a strong Intel Pentium Dual-Core CPU, huge HDD, nice GPU and and and
    Furthermore you should know that the preinstalled Vista OS eats many resources and waste more battery power as the Win XP!!!
    All this factors has a influence on the battery working time.
    Last but not least you should know that there are different batteries on the market.
    If you want to increase the battery performance buy a stronger battery!!!

    my iphone 5 crashes (restarts) automatically after updating to ios 7.1 anyboday facing same issues ? Need help !!!!

    I am having the same issues--just got off phone with customer service rep--was told that my phone is in recoveyr mode and that I would have to restore it, however, the only things that would be restored would be from my last backup which was in November 2013!  I was also told that apple users should not update as soon as the update is available (so why are they sending it to us if they're not sure that there will be any problems!!!).  I can't restore now since I am in work--will do it when I go home tonight.  In the meantime, I am without a working iphone for the day!  This is horrible--I see I'm not the only one who has experienced this!

  • Can I upgrade the T2310 CPU in Satellite Pro L40-15D series laptop?

    Hi, ( I apologise if this has been asked before but when I search ' Satellite pro l40 series' I found no relevant answers )
    I've been searching around the net & so far found some conflicting answers to this question so hopefully this forum may be able to help.
    I have a Satellite pro L40 15D laptop and I wish to upgrade the Intel Pentium Dual-Core 1.46 Ghz T2310 CPU to a Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4300 2.1GHz 1MB 800 CPU or something similar.
    I have found the following information from http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Toshiba-Satellite-L40-14N-Notebook.7294.0.html
    " f you consider a CPU upgrade, there are not many options available. The Intel GL960 express notebook chip set supports only up to 533 Mhz FSB processors. So, most of the up-to-date Core 2 Duo CPUs (with 667MHz) cannot be used. "
    But then I have also read that the GL960 can run processors of 800Mhz?.
    I also asked the question on ebay from the seller of the T2310 CPU & received this answer
    "SHOULD be okay, but your T2310 has 533Mhz FSB and the T4300 has 800Mhz.
    Most modern intel motherboards should easily accept an 800mhz cpu, but I cannot guarantee. Might be an idea to see if you can find out if there are other models of Toshiba L40 that also have 800mhz chips, as that would be a good indicator.
    And if I can not upgrade too a T2310 because of the 800mhz is their a 533mhz cpu that will be compatible & more powerful for audio production than my current 1.46 Ghz T2310 CPU.
    I have only had this PC 4 years from new,it would seem to me to be not very resource friendly if this laptop has not be designed to handle upgrades.
    Thanks for any guidance.

    Helpful link thanks :-)
    Of course any upgrade I did personally would be entirely at my own risk .
    So it's not a good idea as mentioned .
    I would still like to know if technically it is possible and if so it's most probably been done & maybe works fine, rather then half answers .

    Alternatively do you guys have any suggestions, other than buying a new laptop, of ways to increase the performance for music production.
    I already have 1.99 GB of ram installed .
    Would using a external USB sound card and bypassing the internal sound card give me a little more processing power . I believe it's the real time processing of audio effects etc that make audio production demanding on a cpu.Could that processing somehow be shared with a pro audio card? .
    Either way thanks for the help guys :-)

  • Satellite Pro L40 wont start

    When i turn on my Satellite Pro L40 it shows me a screen asking me to start windows repair or start windows normally.
    When choosing either option it leads me back to the same screen.
    Does anybody have any ideas?
    Many thanks

    Hi Will
    For me it looks like the installed OS was muddled up for non apparent reason
    If you are not able to boot in the Windows XP OS and if the repair option doesnt help to boot in the safe mode I dont see any other possibility as to boot from the Toshiba recovery CD and to reinstall the operating system again!
    But note; the booting from the recovery CD will format the whole HDD and you will lose all files stored on the HDD. ?
    This is a drastic procedure but in my eyes its the only one which could helps to solve this issue.
