• Can I use Intel Wireless Display - Netgear PTV1000 on Satellite U400-157

  I want to use the NETGEAR PTV 1000 wireless display device. The hammer on the Net says I should be able to use it if I change the operating system to Windows 7. I see that I need http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-031059.htm Intel Wireless Display to use.

  The Intel Wireless WifI Link 5100 wireless on the Satellite U400-157 is. Seems that it is not one that is required to run the PTV 1000? So an operating system for Win 7 can not allow me to use the PTV 1000?

• Monitor external flicker on Satellite U400-157

  Hi all

  Since last week, I bought laptop Satellite U400-157. When I connect to the external moniter laptop with charger plugged the external monitor is flickering (see a horizontal line). When I unplugged the charger the flicker is disappear.

  I tried the following solution:

  1. connect the laptop to different monitors (BENQ 20 "", ViewSonic 17 "and former VGA monitor)
  2. using the power cable of 3 and 2 connectors for labtop and the monitor.
  3. with the help of thick VGA cable.
  4. with the help of another charger.
  5. Finally, I went to the seller and ask him to try another laptop with the same model and the shock was that he has the same problem.

  So I can consider it as a FAILURE of this model, or there is a solution for this problem?

  Help, please

  Hello

  Hmm I doubt that this problem could be linked to the U400
  I use the U400 too and I ve plugged on the external LCD Samsung monitor via HDMI port and the display does not Flash.

  I also found this thread on the similar problem with Tecra M5

  The guy means that this could be also a problem of laptop but after several tastings, he founded the power cable supplied with the external monitor was questionable.

  However, maybe your ASP must check the laptop and the material

  Hello

  I have the same model of laptop, and to be honest, I didn't install the display driver because Win 7 install automatically the display driver and was able to get the latest update.
  So in my case, the installation of the new driver was not necessary.

  But have you tried the latest driver from Intel page?

• How I restore the update to the BIOS on Satellite U400-157?

  I recently updated a Tempro alert for update of the BIOS for the notebook. Now, I noticed that the screen blanks a few times at PC startup. It was't there before. How do I roll back the update of the BIOS to a previous one.

  I don't get to see the BIOS updated screen other cases other than the time I did the BIOS update.

  Hello

  To be honest I don't understand exactly what your problem is.
  You said:. Now, I noticed that the screen blanks a few times at PC startup.
  Does that mean exactly? Is your black screen until Windows has started?

  To be honest, I put t think the BIOS update would be the reason for which go into the BIOS (press F2) and set the default BIOS settings (F9) and save the changes (F10).

  If you want to recover the BIOS version earlier, then you will need Flash module ROM BIOS using a basic BIOS version BACK. You will find on the European driver Toshiba page only the win versions

• Satellite U400-138: VPN Service cannot be installed on WiFi.

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite U400-138 with Intel WiFi Link 5100.

  Some companies - such as Cisco and Citrix - use * deterministic Network Enhancer *: a service that allows other services (like VPN) use the computer hardware. And my company uses the Cisco VPN client.

  It is not possible to use the Cisco VPN Client by wireless with my Toshiba Satellite U400-138. The reason is * deterministic Network Enhancer * (DNE). DNE is installed with my card Ethernet Marvell Yukon (no problem), but Intel WiFi Link 5100 does not allow installing DNE. If you open "Network connections", if you look at the 'properties' of each connection after installation of the Cisco VPN client deterministic network (DNE) is only associated with Marvell Yukon. But I can't use VPN on my WiFi.

  I found a solution for Lenovo: [http://www.wfu.edu/~yipcw/lenovo/t400/intel-5100-vpn/ | http://www.wfu.edu/~yipcw/lenovo/t400/intel-5100-vpn/] but unfortunately it back do not work with Toshiba (see images on this Web page!). I think it is * Intel * problem but maybe Toshiba can find a solution?

  I think that this problem DNE may be an issue for other customers of Toshiba as Cisco and Citrix them frequently use in their products. For example, my company have invested to Cisco VPN.

  Kind regards

  Jacek.

  Hello

  If have a U400 and I installed the CiscoAnyconenct.
  It s a VPN connection and it works properly!

  I have an Intel WLan 4965AGN card. But usually it s any WLan card is
  The VPN should work with any connection.

  But using VPN you can get access to some networks in your company, but in my case that other links do not work while the VPN connection is established.

• Satellite U400 - failed to create the recovery disk - bad DVD player?

  Hi all

  I have a 13 inch Satellite U400.
  Due to problems with my Softkeys, lighting and hibernation status (any help on thos would also be useful) I want to create a recovery DVDs with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  The thing is: it starts when I have a CD in the DVD drive, but as soon as I put a DVD in (what is needed), it gives me an errormessage that said something like 'another application is using this drive or no disc recording where found in the laptop. 0D00E4-F0-00000000 error code).

  My DVD player does not work properly, I can play movies and the drivers and the status is ok too.
  I noticed, that error code changes, but I don't know how to get the recovery disk creator will.

  What can I do? Change something in the registry?
  I don't know what happened on my laptop, I bought a few months ago - new. I guess that, reset everything would bring my softkeys, lighting and hibernation status back.

  So, if someone nows how to work at least one of the problems, please give me advice.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  Did you create virtual CD/DVD drives with special software? If so, remove the software completely. In addition, if you have installed burning, programs, you should check if they will be started when Windows starts and if so, disable the beginning upward. So go to start > run > msconfig > start. Here, you can disable the start of burning software (for example Nero, CD Burner XP, etc.).

  And what DVD are you using for burning? I have good experiences with DVD - R Verbatim and TDK discs. These are high-quality discs and you should try it too!

  Last but not least, you need to remove the upper and lower registry filters. It is always advisable to the problems of the CD/DVD drive:
  (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
  2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
  (4) restart.

  Depending on your problem with the keys to enlightenment that you should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This determines the buttons of enlightenment, FN keys and other special functions on your laptop. I had a similar problem with my Qosmio F50 illumination buttons and I posted something on this subject in the Qosmio forum that you should try it too!

• Satellite U400-183 - need Recovery DVD and AHCI drivers

  Hello

  I tried to reinstall Win Vista Home Premium to my Satellite U400-183. I used a DVD OS Win that came with my other laptop to other manufacturing and the key that came with my Toshiba laptop. Everything works beautifully, but in some areas of Windows is still some specific parameters of the manufacturing on the other. Now is it possible to get a DVD of Windows Vista Toshiba?

  Another question is where can I get the AHCI drivers. There is only an exe file on the support site which I can't use during the installation of Windows. There must be some these .sys files, but I can't find them on the Toshiba site, so I had to install Windows in compatibility mode.

  Thanks in advance!

  PS: Sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Germany...

  Hello!

  A new recovery DVDs, you can get your local ASP (authorized service provider).
  Or you order a DVD from Toshiba directly:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  The AHCI drivers or let say Intel Storage Manager, you can download from the Toshiba site as you have already said.
  The .exe file, you must check out to use during the installation, but with the recovery disk you n t need them.
  Please read the readme file in the Storage Manager, there is an example how to extract it. Use the command line what it
  For example: - a - a - PC:------.

  Good bye

  Hello

  I've got the same laptop model and updated the BIOS to version 4.70 - Win and everything last week went well.

  I also have Win 7 OS but 32 bits.

  Just a question: have you you uncompress the package correctly before you run the exe file?
  You should do this in a folder created. Moreover in the majority of cases the VAP (value added package) must be installed on your machine.

  Check it!

• Have 4 GB of RAM on Satellite U400 but says OS only have 2 GB

  Have recently downgraded notebook Toshiba Satellite U400 (model PSU44A-00J00C) of original Windows Vista business to Windows XP Pro (pack 3 update service) assistance of the system recovery discs. Have 4 GB of RAM installed on the laptop with 32-bit system and was reading that this amount with Windows Vista, but now the figure has decreased!

  I got the digits in the information system:

  Total physical memory: 4 GB
  Available physical memory: 2 GB
  Total virtual memory: 2Gb
  Available virtual memory: 1.96 GB

  My available physical memory should not read at least 3 GB? BIOS is reading at 4 GB. Have updated the bios and chipset without change.

  Want to tighten a little more memory to the computer, since I installed it - is the best I can get 2 GB?

  Thanks for your interest, look forward to your response.

  6 LED multimedia keys above the keyboard stay bright even when the computer is off and power is disconnected. I looked at the forum and tried the suggestions without success.

• Satellite U400 - big noise from cooling modules

  Hello

  bought a few months ago Toshiba Satellite U400 and everything was perfect, and I bought it just because I don't like the sounds.
  When I surf the net I love that he's quite, but these last 5 days he began to ring.

  Toshiba U400 works and it should be for many 'Air' on the side and its just all the time, even if I open IE or MSN or anything like that either, and before she just made some time, but now he often does.

  Please help me because it's very embarrassing and it sounds too, and I don't like it, why this departure to East happened now and not before? and what I can do about it?

  thnx.

  Hello

  What you can do?
  Well, first you must make sure your modules cooling holes are free of dust.
  I recommend to use the jet of compressed air to remove dust of grids and cooling fans.
  In most cases the dust prevents the flow of air that causes a higher temperature and therefore the propellers would turn faster.

  Secondly, you can change the settings to more battery as energy saver.
  If you are using Win XP, then you should check the Toshiba Power Saver.
  Here, you can assign the CPU, the speed of treatment and performance at a lower level of cooling

  Hello

  Satellite U400 - 10l belongs to the series of PSU40E and it supports the audio chip Conexant CX20561
  You need the Conexant audio driver in order to get the proper functioning!

  Please note that the Win XP drivers placed on the Toshiba page are released for Win 32 bit OS! Usually, they don t work with 64 bit XP!
  If you need Win XP 64 bit Conexant sound driver you need to search n 3 third-party pages for this driver.

  In addition, you must install Win XP service packs newer!
  SP3 includes many fixes that are necessary and important.
  SP3 must be installed before installing the audio driver.
