    Explain in more detail. Does it show a list of available wireless networks? And describe your router, and where it is located.

    I have a Netgear WR614 and it took a while to configure, I think maybe someone or some office nearby has the same thing so I had to use a different channel.

    Hello guys !
    There was nothing I could do to fix it. I had to change the laptop. Now, It connected to wireless network after few minutes. Laptop seem to be working fine except for the annoying high pitch sound coming from left speaker or left speaker area but so far is not as bad as the first M40 I had. Screen on the second M40 seems to be different then the first M40 I had. The second one seem to be more "grainy". Weird. I wonder if anybody noticed that the screens of the M40 model can be different on different units.

    I guess that what you are noticing is the 18bits matrix.

    Toshiba Satellite M40 - Pentium-M Sonoma 1.6ghz - 512mb DDR333 - 60gb 4200rpm - GeForce 6600 128mb - 15.4" BrightView WXGA TFT LCD
