• Satellite Pro U400-135 turn

  I have a problem with my Satellite Pro U400-135.

  Sometimes when I press the button to turn off my laptop or choose log in windows xp, my pc isn't turned off but reboot!

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think the laptop doesn't close properly sometimes, because some background process cannot be closed properly and that affect the process of closing.

  I had this problem from time to time also.
  I use the CCleaner which will repair the registry and clean the system.
  Also, I recommend disabling some processes that are not so important for you.
  You can do it in MSCONFIG-> startup

• Dynadock U10 & Satellite Pro U400 (video display resolution - main monitor)

  Hi all
  I want to put in place the video driver Dynadock see the external monitor as primary monitor:
  I have difficulty option 'Mirror', but I can't change the resolution: it is set at 1280 x 1024 but I see 1280 x 800 (as in the laptop monitor) with the large black bars on top/bottom of my screen (losing a part of my screen 19 '')
  I guess if Iget 'turn off' the netbook monitor and adjustment of the external Dynadock monitor as primary monitor, I would see fine at maximum resolution (in the same way as if I connect the external display on the laptop VGA port: it works fine)
  Any suggestion?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello januan,

  If you set the 'mirror' mode, you would have the same resolution on the external monitor, the internal display.
  In this mode you cannot set a resolution higher on the monitor station on the inside.

  If you set "extend mode", you can set different resolutions.

  You have installed the latest driver for display link?

• 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.

  Good bye

• External monitor flickers always on Satellite Pro U400 - 13G

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro U400 - 13G that connects external monitors with VGA port.

  I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit with the latest graphics drivers from intel, I also tried the drivers from the Toshiba download site.

  Anyway... I tried 3 different external screens to connect a LG with resolution 1280 x 1024, an acer projector with resolution 1024 x 768 and a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW running 1680 x 1050.

  All these monitors simply sparkles... a higher resolution = more flicker. It seems to be worse with gray background.

  I tried the system Windows 7 RC1, same problem.

  When I unplug my diet, Twinkle seems to be... a little reduced, there is still a lot of flicker.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

• Satellite Pro U400 Win 7: flashing projector connected to Dynadock U10

  I have a number of Dynadocks U10 and Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 laptops.

  They are used to allow our teachers to move from one room to the other without having to connect and disconnect several cables. We use a vga connection to a projector for the external monitor.
  Everything worked pretty well until we put Win 7 on laptops.

  Now, at random intervals, the external monitor will blink.
  I tried the most up to date drivers and software found elsewhere in these forums.
  If I plug the projector directly into the laptop, the flashing stops.

  Can someone please help avoid losing me my mind completely.

  Thank you.

  > If I plug the projector directly into the laptop, the flashing stops.

  I think it means that the VGA of Dynadock pilot must be upgraded to Win 7 compatible version.
  There is nothing wrong in using a direct connection to the laptop, so I think there must be a problem with the driver Dynadock.

• Satellite Pro U400-130 - Conexant and 'Stereo Mix' in question

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-130 (downgraded from Vista to XP) with the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 "audio card" installed.

  Although this seems to support HD audio, I can't find any option to use or activate the "Stereo Mix" option in the Windows console. I tried a few settings to registry and some different drivers, but so far, the option remained absent.

  I know this forum and other comments on the net that Conexant audio cards do not support the stereo mix, but I was wondering if someone could confirm that this is certainly the case for SmartAudio 221?

  Similarly, anyone know of another method to record the sound 'as heard' on the computer? So Far, the options appear to be a) buy an external sound card, or b) connect the plug headphone mini-jack on the mic with a cable jack.

  After using a p3500 old Portege of 8 quite happy with this function (actually pretty basic), it is very disappointing to find that this card cannot support it.

  See you soon,.
  Select this option.

  > I can't find any option to use or activate the "Stereo Mix" option in the Windows mixer
  > I know this forum and other reviews on the net that the Conexant sound cards may not support stereo > Mix, but I was wondering if anyone could confirm this is certainly the case for SmartAudio 221?

  I can confirm this because I have a laptop (NOT from Toshiba one) that was equipped with the Conexant audio chip and the other laptop (Toshiba Satellite a series has) that supports the Realtek audio chip.

  The machine with Realtek audio chip contains stereo mix and the other non-Toshiba unit that supports the audio chip Conexant does not support the stereo mix

  As far as I know the update of the driver won't help you because it looks like a hardware limitation of chip Conexant!

  However, thanks for the info about the Virtual Audio Cable tool.
  I think I'll try it next time

• 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 starts and overheating problems

  Hello

  6 weeks ago, I bought a Satellite Pro U400. Shortly after that I bought, I noticed that the computer overheating. After 1 hour of use, it becomes very hot in the touchpad area, as well in the base of the computer and on the touchpad itself. It is very annoying because I almost burn my fingers with the touch pad.

  The problems began 10 days ago. I had been using the laptop for an hour when it suddenly turned off without notice. Power outage? I don't know Don t. I looked like a sytem of overheating protection. My previous laptop had the same problem. After a few minutes, I was able to turn it back on.

  Then it happened again a few days ago, but it took me 5 minutes to turn on. Yesterday, it happened again, and after 45 minutes without response, I went to bed. In the morning, I was able to turn it on.

  This also happens when wifi is disabled, it is not only a problem with the wifi card, overheating of the system.

  Am I the only one having this problem? I will try to send it back to Toshiba for a replacement or a refund.

  Is this normal in a really new machine?

  Thank you

  First, the warming of the touchpad is normal for almost every laptop, due to construction. Under this, there are the HARD drive and it produces heat. With my last books, and it was not bad, too.
  But really to get so hot?

  Due to the protection against overheating, it is normal that you cannot turn on your laptop immediately.
  But the wireless card is not the device in question, because it's a very small piece of hardware and produce little heat.

  You said, you had this problem with your notebook previous too. Let me ask you, when you use your notebooks? What your table surface there or is there no matter what on that table cloth?

  What I can tell you right now is, to check your locations of fantilation for all dust or maybe you have objects near it so that hot air can not cool.

• Satellite Pro U400 - 150 - display has stopped working

  Hello guys,.

  yesterday I used to turn on my laptop (Satellite Pro U400 - 14) and it worked fine but after 1 minute my screen stopped working. I tried to restart the PC, and it worked OK again. But I turn on my laptop today and it didn t work at all. Everything is OK, PC works fine, everything is good, but only the display is black.

  I Don t know what happened with my laptop. :/

  Is there anyone who knows the answer to this problem?

  Thanks for all your answers.

  > Everything is OK, PC works fine, everything is good, but only the display is black.
  Of course, this isn't all right if nothing appears on the screen

  Connect an external monitor to check if you would be able to see something on the screen?
  Do this! Usually you should use the FN + F5 to alternate between the monitor internal and external.
  If this is not possible and nothing could be seen on the 2nd monitor, the graphics card problem can cause this.

• Satellite Pro U400-11V: possible to increase the 60 Hz screen refresh rate

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-11v.
  I just realized that my screen refresh rate is 60 Hz (resolution 1280 x 800).
  Even I decrease the resolution. It won t be another option 60 Hertz.
  Is it possible to increase it?
  My monitor is indicated under the generic name of the PnP in the system.

  You cannot increase the internal laptop display refresh rate and it of not necessary to go higher, because all the internal laptop screens are running at 60 Hz.
  If you would like to connect an external monitor, you will probably see higher available for the external monitor refresh rates.

• Satellite Pro U400-18 needs - Win8 drivers - microphone does not work

  I HAVE a PORTABLE Satellite Pro U400-18 a PSU45E computer AND I INSTALLED WINDOWS 8 64 bit BUT I can't FIND the DRIVERS WINDOWS 8 FOR MY MICROPHONE. (AUDIO DRIVERS)

  PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP? Thank you

  There is no special driver for microphone.
  Audio driver controls the microphone and the noise.

  By the way: what mic do you mean? The intern who belongs to the webcam?
  Only the microphone is working correctly by using an external headset?

• Satellite Pro U400 - audio quality is not good

  OK this problem has been plaging me for years. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 windows 8.1.

  The sound quality is terrible.
  I can remember it's bad in windows 7.

  Contextant driver is bad, and so is the generic driver windows 8.1.

  Help, please

  To be honest, I have no idea what you mean exactly by the quality is terrible.
  I've owned a notebook Satellite U400 happened and I have to say that the sound quality was quite good.

  Satellite U400 is a small portable 13.3 and the speakers have been adjusted to the dimensions of the laptop.
  The Conexant audio chip is part of the motherboard and you will not be able to replace it.

  If you want to use another sound card, you can try to use an external USB audio interface.
  I use this external sound solution for my home recording studio.

  The audio interface is connected to the USB port of the laptop s and the external speakers are initiated for the external audio interface.

  By the way: isn't Satellite U400 is the list of the supported 8.1 notebooks... Win so you won't find not all drivers Win 8.1 for this unit on the Toshiba driver website.

• Re: Satellite Pro U400-160 - freezes when copying larger files or videos

  Hello:

  I have a Satellite Pro U400-160 and a VERBATIM external hard drive USB eSATA combo.

  If I turn on AHCI mode recognizes the drive, but when copying the video files or large file size, the system is frozen. However if I remove the mode AHCI works correctly. I have the version 9.8.9.1023 Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager and my laptop BIOS v4.0 and Windows Vista Business.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Normally the AHCI mode has nothing to do with an external HARD drive. It is only important for the internal HARD disk if you install Windows.

  Anyway, you have installed all the updates of Windows for Vista?
  In addition, you should test another external HARD disk or with another cable.

• Satellite Pro U400 - micro reception problem after installing xp sp3

  I had Vista, then I recently installed windows XP SP3 from scratch (not downgraded). I downloaded the latest drivers from Toshiba and install. Now, I have a problem with the microphone. Speakers audio playback is fine, but the built-in microphone reception level is very low and often unrecognizable. I use a voip program. In Vista, micro worked better.

  Now in Windows XP Home edition, I told myself that they cannot hear me or my voice is very weak and difficult to recognize. I also tried to sound recorder in windows. My voice is as if I am talking about ten meters.
  I have an external microphone, so I can't say if line microphone. works well.

  In messages previous people mention a fix for xp download his questions but I'm not sure if applies to my situation.

  Thank you
