• Portege R400 - how to get the fingerprint device to HDD unlock

  Portege R400 model PPR40E-00901LEN

  I've had this laptop since 2007 new (approximately). I put the BIOS and disk passwords HARD and the biometric to unlock the BIOS, HARD and Vista drive. It worked well until recently. Result of an incident when someone tried to crack into the machine, it unlocks is no longer the HARD drive

  The attacker confessed to the use of BACKSPACE to work around the footprint digital, correctly guessed the password of BIOS and going on to make several attempts to enter the HDD password.

  Now when I try to access the computer by using the fingerprint reader, it unlocks the BIOS ok, so he remembers clearly to me. However, it is not open HARD drive. Apparenlty the fact that 3 + failures to enter the master password disk HARD text forces text of this password and no biometric entry. At least, there seems to be something like that.

  My questions are

  (1) in these circumstances, the BIOS anterio-rite the biometric to forget the HARD drive password?

  (2) or is still piometric my disk HARD but the BIOS password feature is not asking him?

  (3) if 3 or something similar, so this password is always in the biometirc device, how to tell the device to provide this password?

  Please note that I can't in the BIOS right now, because do not unlock the HARD drive prevents the POSITION to perform.

  Of course, I know what I really need to do is type the HARD drive password. Unfortunately in about four years, I forgot it. I hope that I can get into the BIOS if I remove the HARD drive physically, but wonder if there is something else I should do first in order to avoid making things worse.

  Thanks to hope

• Portege R400: How to get embedded HSDPA 3 G working

  Does anyone know how to get the Embedded R400 HSDPA 3 G working?
  I put a SIM from work in the slot under the keyboard, but when I click the mobilink software, that nothing is happening.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I found something that may be of interest to you. It is about 3 G on your laptop:

  When you insert SIM the laptop must be turned off, because normally hot - plug the SIM card does not work
  The 3G module is set on/OFF with the cut-out like the other two standards wireless WLAN and BT wireless
  By default, the wireless switch is set to OFF
  Your laptop is preinstalled new FN + F8 tool with which you can switch all devices or on/OFF switch, none of the 3 devices individually
  After each start of the laptop (if the message was not disabled) there will be an information window informing you that the 3G antenna shuts off if the Tablet PC is used in secondary portrait mode (for Tablet laptop computer only)

  Please check it and also read s manuals carefully. It must be described how to use 3G on your laptop Portege.

  Good bye

• Portege R400: How to enable the TPM in the BIOS

  I have the Porteg R400.
  The TPM is asking me to activate it TPM chip by setting the bios, but the bios setting there is not the activation setting.

  This means that it is not the TPM chip installed?

  Hello

  AFAIK the Portégé R400 supports the TPM chip, but it must first be activated.
  The special BIOS upgrade is required to activate this option.

  But it's a little tricky to my knowledge only the Toshiba certified maintainer can do that.
  So I would recommended contacting the service guy and ask a technician for more details!

  Do you know how to contact the ASP?
  On the Toshiba page you will find a list with ASP available worldwide.

  Check it ;)

• How to access internal memory Bay on Portege R400

  Hello

  I have a new portege R400 (3G model)... After still be angry that I can't pre-order with 4 GB (comes with 2 x 1 GB and I have to take these and 'waste' by putting in 2 x 2 GB) and even it is a surgical operation... in any case the manual and the online version are both obsolete.

  They refer to the sliding of the protection plastic on the keyboard and then using a size zero Phillips screwdriver to remove the keyboard that will expose the memory slot internal...! Nope!... who may have worked on 1st gen R400 and M400, but after you remove plastic cover there is NO screws...

  Grrr

  Someone managed to overcome this yet?

  G

  Hello

  The manual are not obsolete man. The keyboard is always fixed with two screws!

  The an expandable memory slot located at the bottom of the unit and another slot under the keyboard, as described in the user manual.

  The 2 teams should be placed near the hinges of the screen!

  If you have no experience with these disassembly please contact the ASP or a laptop in your country for a technician help!

• Portege R400 - does not recognize 3g module?

  Please help: I got my new Toshiba Portege R400 (PPR40E-00T018G3). I knew that some of the R400 is module 3g, but I could not know if my has a or not because there was nothing on the box or it will show or not (except that on the screen Toshiba Edge 3g icon is always with a triangle below? I assumed that it was because he has no SIM card...), but when I was upgrading memory I noticed that under a keyboard (where is a memory slot) is also a SIM card reader, so I assume that my R400 is equipped with 3g module (why they would put SIM card without 3g module reader?).

  I saw no devices in Device Manager in windows, but I thought that when I put the SIM card, it would install itself (I also did not notice a bluetooth until I installed it later!), but when I put the SIM card, nothing happened - indicator 3g is still off, and I have no new devices in Device Manager. Of course, I installed all the software that was on the page of drivers toshiba r400: Wi - Fi broadband Mobile (Novatel), 3 G RF Power Control Utility and MobiLink, but I have not had any indication that the 3g module is, and when I opened Configfree on dial-up/WWAN, he says: not availible. Mobi link says that there is no device. When I press fn + F8, I get only icons bluetooth and wifi, not 3g. OS is Vista Ultimate Edition and Windows 7.

  My questions are:

  1. is it possible that my R400 (PPR40E-00T018G3) doesn't have a 3 g module, although it has SIM card reader?

  2. for users of R400, you had some indications that your 3 g module exists (i.e., devie Manager etc.) before set you up the SIM card? Or he was dead, and when you put the SIM card he moved.

  3. what drivers did you use and how do you control the connection options?

  Need help please with some info, I read all the posts on the forum about R400 and 3g, but found no solutions. I have seen that some users have their 3g modules R400 works, and ask them for help.

  Thanks in advance!

  > 1. Is it possible that my R400 (PPR40E-00T018G3) doesn't have a 3g module, although it has SIM card reader?

  It is correct.
  Some R400 were equipped with module 3G and some don t support such module.
  Your R400 PPR40E-00T018G3 was not equipped with the 3G module and so it may not be recognized.

  See you soon

• Portege R400: Very slow Performance with Vista Ultimate

  Hi all

  Portege R400 is delivered with Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition and Vista is really - honestly - incredibly slow! (especially with R400, due to the configuration of the laptop)
  So I decided to install Windows XP Tablet PC... But I discovered that there is no driver available for R400 XP.

  I'm not directly complaining on the Portege models/series...
  It's a great design and I bought it, knowing the configuration. But I didn't know how Vista was eager for system resources...

  I complain on Toshiba policy or what-so-ever ONLY to the Vista and not XP drivers.
  Microsoft is desperately trying to sell Vista because they know, they really don't have this time and I heard stories about how they block their own market XP.

  .. .and I think that Microsoft and Toshiba can have an agreement on "selling only computers laptop Vista..." (just a guess but it seems so... correct me if I'm wrong)

  It is a torture to use Vista on Portege R400 and other equivalent configurations. (even when all the Visual effects system, disabled etc.)
  On the other hand, I can't use my XP on R400 tablet... so...

  So, trust me when I say I'm going to throw it away!
  But before doing this, if anyone of you knows a solution to my problem. Please let me know,
  because I paid a lot of money for this turtle.

  concerning

  PS: I hope that this is a democratic platform and my post not be erased or changed.

  Hello

  First of all, you don't have to suspect Microsoft or Toshiba has an agreement with Vista. Toshiba isn't the only primary selling units with just a VIsta operating system, almost every laptop to the manufacturer it.
  And you're right, Vista is a slow operating system, because it has a new UI with lots of graphic effects here and there and many features like the sidebar, you have really not at all.

  Since I bought my first one Vista laptop at the beginning of the year, I thought, as I don't want to not be installed and want my XP back and so on and there was no available to manufacturers of XP drivers download page either. I have a Toshiba laptop no and had the same frustration as you.

  Now, I had two options, check every important feature on my own via google or using tools such as engineering pilot or pimp my Vista driver installation.
  Firstly I did an installation of XP, all drivers to research, I need, who did not take my as much as I thought it would be. But after a while, I wanted to give the new Microsoft OS a chance.

  Used disk recovery and first wiped all the software I didn't need, so goodbye almost every tool installed on my machine, which was not unique to microsoft.
  Disabled many features, that I didn't want and I can say, speed increased a lot! This brought my buy an original version of Vista, made a new installation, installed all the drivers necessary, and hey, I'm happy with it.

  Thus, ended with my story, you have two options now. Search XP drivers on your own, using the tools and google or tweak your Vista. There are many guides on the internet that can help you.

  And do not be angry with Toshiba, as it's the same problem with other manufacturers too, as you can see in my case.

• Portege R400 - Windows with WAN boot / 3G

  Hello

  I want to start windows on my portege R400, but with the LAN allows bluetooth and 3g disabled. Now all are activated after the start, and I have to stop the 3g using the cards on top of the screen. I want to just turn the turn on when I need it.

  I don't want to uninstall it, or stop the driver or service. I just want to start this option disabled and activate it via the menu or cards.

  Can someone tell me how to do this?

  Kind regards

  If I understand you well you can enable/disable it through the cards.
  What do you want exactly? to have 3G turned off by default?

• 64-bit host VMWare on Portege R400

  Folks, this processor should be able to run a 64 - bit OS on VMWare Server 1.0.3 right customer? It's a U2500.

  To see if someone has tested it on the same model of Portege.

• Can I use product key OEM Portege R400 - S4832 to the re-installation of Vista

  If I don't have my restore DVD came with my laptop Portege R400-S4832 I use an other users Vista OS DVD to install Vista using the product key that came on the bottom of my Portege?

  Otherwise, it's a hassle to ask a Toshiba Recovery DVD?

  Thank you.

  Well, what to say to my knowledge it of not possible to activate the other version of Vista with OEM from Toshiba key.
  This key is assigned to this OEM version and it should not work with another Vista CD/DVD.

  However, I found this thread another in this forum about Vista installation and activation and the last user potatohead reported that he was able to activate the OEM of Vista version with the phone;

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=28340&TSTART=0

  You would be really appreciated your comments.

  Can how I restore the calculator to drag it to the top of the screen to control center? It seems to have been removed from the bottom row? Thank you

  Are - what you got to remove the calculator of your applications on the phone? You can find the calculator on the phone itself? If you find it, then try a reset. Hold down the home and sleep/wake together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will restart. There are no settings to change what appears on the display. See if the reset solves your problem.

  EDIT: what exactly you see in the Control Center? If you see only controls the music, then drag to the right to see the rest of the access to the control center.
