Distortion of the sound on Satellite Pro U400

Please can someone help me solve a troublesome problem on this laptop. Whenever I'm playing a video or another function with his partner, playback is distorted by intermittent, skippy and stuttering (sometimes looks like a dalek, for lack of a better description).

Is there history of that with these machine and is there a fix available? I have a presentation to do tomorrow using the laptop and would like to not have to apologize to my audience to the sound of trash.

Thanks for your suggestions

Dave

Hello Dave

Have you noticed the same behavior with headphones or external speakers?

  • The update of the BIOS on Satellite Pro U400?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 (PSU41E) running Windows 7 x 64 and I try to update the BIOS to version 4.70 to 4.00.

    Whenever I try to do it from Windows using WinPhlash which comes with the download on the Toshiba site it seems to freeze when you try to Flash the new BIOS.
    I connected as the local administrator, tried to use other programs flash and even tried to do from a USB flash drive with no luck.

    Can someone please help me and explain how do I update the BIOS?

    Hello

    > tried to use other flash programs
    Never use other flash programs! In the worst case, you could damage the ROM module and then it must be replaced. Use only the program flash Toshiba that is tested and designed for laptop and the version of the BIOS.

    The update of the BIOS program is also designed for Windows, it s a Windows Update program.

    Satellite Pro U400 wasn t comes with Windows 7 so I guess you did your own installation. Value added package is required for the update of the BIOS program and can be downloaded on the European driver of Toshiba download page where is your laptop model:

  • Satellite Pro U400 - BIOS update gone bad

    Hi all!

    I've updated the BIOS on my laptop and something was wrong, just not now a computer screen.

    I went to see the Web for Chris Bios recover.
    Have over 20 versions, but so far without success.

    My biggest problem is: I can't save on floppy disk 2 MB BIOS. All attempts to create a
    Flash or SD ended in failure.

    The laptop is: Satellite pro U400 PSU45E

    Please help me... the laptop reads the floppy in BIOS with little experience (the ones that come with Chris Bios 500Ko - 1000 KB) begins with a normal boot beep signals supposedly provided a definition blocks then baar times short beep and nothing to do...
    There must be something... BIOS BACK small size, emulator USB... BIOS to be torn down, so it is possible in charge from USB, SD...

    Every idea can be useful!

    Thank you very much

    Excuse my English

    f the subject isn't here, please redirect mderatora
    This is my 1 post here

    Hi mate

    Unfortunately if something was wrong during the update of the BIOS, then you won't be able to solve this problem without the help of a technician of the ASP

    I hope that the ROM BIOS module is not too bad
    In the worst case that the mobo is damage but maybe it s not damaged

    However. You must contact a local ASP and must ask for the manipulation of the Fryer!

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro U400 - sound of the wheel does not work anymore

    The wheel of sound control in my Satellite Pro U400 works not properly since last month.

    Now, I have to use the volume bar in Vista to adjust properly. When I try to lower the volume by turning the wheel, as I did before, he constantly increases the volume after reducing to a few percent. If I flip it is very very slow, sometimes it decreases the volume a little, but other times it increases. Also when I'm in a word processor, turn the wheel to the right input 'c' character ' on the screen.
    There is no problem when I try to increase the volume, it does its job.

    Do you think it is related to hardware or can it be a problem of driver or something. Is there a solution?

    Thank you

  • Satellite Pro U400-15I - wheel of sound not working after installing Windows 7

    The wheel of sound on my Satellite Pro U400 - 15l does nothing after the clean install of Windows 7 to XP pro.
    I used the recommended software update tool downloaded from Toshiba. The VolumeIndicator.exe process is running and the sound works OK - but not under the control of the wheel! The Toshiba power control is not here, but this isn't a problem.

    Any suggestion is welcome.

    Hello

    I guess that's not happed running the laptop on battery only. Right?

    I think that this issue is released to a grounding problem.
    I read different forums on this kind of question it.
    Usually use the 3 cord power cable should help get rid you of this noise.

    In your case I would recommend asking for cord 3 power cable (maybe you need another adapter that supports the 3-wire power cord) to a Toshiba authorized maintainer.

  • I need to replace the battery and AC adapter of the Satellite Pro U400-160

    I have a Satellite Pro U400-160.

    I need to replace the battery and the charger of my Toshiba, but I am wary about compatibility issues.

    Any battery for Satellite Pro U400 is suitable for mine?
    As I can't find which batteries are specifically suitable for my computer.

    (For example: is this a: http://www.amazon.es/Bater%C3%ADa-Toshiba-Satellite-U400-11V-7800mAh/dp/B0051A9Y88/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1366885340&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=satellite+pro+u400?)

    Is there a quick way to check if a battery / charger are compatible?

    Each battery and adapter you get from Toshiba has specific part number. All you have to do is use this same part number and order. You should be able to find on the internet.
    You can also get compatible parts you are ordering by the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.

    By the way: all U400 models have the same construction and the similar specifications then all the batteries specified for U400 can be used on your U400-160.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - 24 - crack appeared in the frame above the DVD drive

    I have a fairly new Satellite Pro U400 - 24 hours (seven months), where a crack appeared just above the DVD drive, close to the screen where the slot ends. I know for sure that I havn't dropped it, so I just want to know if it is a problem that everyone knows? If the framework becomes fragile due to heating (it's pretty warm when he must preform)

    Hey,.

    I put t really know why this happens, but on my Satellite U400 I couldn t notice such a problem. I have a year now and it works perfectly and the case doesn't have a crack or something.

    In my opinion, you should contact an authorized service provider. Guys can order a new replacement part and swap it for you! :)

  • Satellite Pro U400-18 s - how to switch the display to TV?

    I recently had a Satellite Pro U400-18 s and I am trying to connect it to my TV. The laptop has only a VGA port and my TV has RCA, S-Video, HDMI and SCART taken. I bought a vga s-video cable, but I am unable to get a picture on the TV.

    This is because the laptop only shows the lowest resolution of 800 x 600?
    Is there a way to lower the resolution of some how that I didn't think?
    I checked and I am running the latest drivers for the graphics card intel?

    Hello

    When you want to connect your laptop to the TV, do the follow-up:
    Connect the cable
    Activate the port S-video on the TV (TV feature how to do)
    FN + F5 key combination to switch to a laptop LCD and TV

    Please let me know if everything is OK or you still have the same problem.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - How can I get the native screen resolution for external monitor?

    I have a samsung syncmaster external screen connected to a Satellite Pro U400.

    The resolution of the screen goes up to 1280 etc. but the minimum samsung is 1440 x 920 (ish I forgot).
    How can I get the samsung to display full screen expanded to save my eyes of the realativively small screen internal?

    Hello!

    Have you tried to update the display on your laptop driver? Check the Toshiba site for an update:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
    And what operating system are you using? Have you installed all Windows updates?

    For external LCD, monitors, you must set the screen refresh rate of 60 Hz.
    And if you want to change the resolution of the screen, you must select the second monitor in the graphics options on Windows.

    What program you mean exactly for creating CD/DVD?

    If you mean the Toshiba disk creator I think it can t be downloaded. I checked from Toshiba Web site but I can't find it.
    But you can use another program to create CD/DVD, for example Nero or CD Burner XP (freeware).

    I hope I could help a bit.
