Is satellite U400 - 17 H - possible to change some parameters of the screen?

I bought my Satellite U400 - 17 H in Paris in spring 2009 with the hope to work on my laptop without eye discomfort. My laptop TOSHIBA Satellite A100 husband s has a very comforting display and I was hoping to find the same screen for the Advanced series of Satellite U400 - 17H. Unfortunately for me, my sore eyes as soon as they fill the screen.

What should I do? Is there a setting in Notepad to change? Regarding the brightness, I put the lowest level.
Can I trust filters of privacy (anti-spyware screen for the privacy of travellers) as filters for the radiation of the screen that hurts my eyes? http://www.toshibadirect.com/TD/B2C/Adet.to?poid=435292 they are described as protecting only the laptop s screen not the eyes of the user s.

Thank you!
Elena

Hey Lionel,.

I put t really know what problems you have with Satellite U400 but friend of mine has it and in my opinion the screen is as good as other portable also. I put t see any problems with the quality of the screen, everything is really good.

It is important that you use the native screen resolution and 60 Hz. This will give you the best image quality.

About these privacy filters I've never used them but I doubt that will improve the quality

    Now 2.3 times while I was reading a book, c#, abrupt change of brightness of the screen that's happened.
    Usually I keep the low brightness, by 3 ups above the lowest brightness level.
    .. so the problem is a few seconds it rose almost of highest level of brightness, without doing me anything... just like that and then come back to how I used to set.
    PS: I recently installed a game that the processor runs all the time on 98%, all playing me, could he be burning CPU... This is the reason for this sudden change in brightness, is my laptop dying lol, Please help!
    Thank you!

    Hi Kaloyan,

    This could happen because of the active adapter brightness or the obsolete drivers display

    I suggest to update the display via the Device Manager drivers and check.

    -Press X and Windows , and then select Device Manager.

    -Browse graphics cards, do a right-click on the driver and click on Update driver software.

    -Restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

    If the problem persists, then disable the brightness map settings in the Power Options and check.

    -Press the Windows key and D to get to the desktop and then click on the power management on the system tray icon, then choose the more power Options.

    -Click on the link change plan settings on the selected plan and then click on the link change advanced power settings .

    -Browse down to display, enable adaptive brightnessand change the settings of one off.

    Check if the problem persists after trying these steps.

    If you have any questions, please let us know.

  • Toshiba Satellite U400-14Z upgrade to a faster processor - which is the most rapid possible?

    Hello.

    I want to upgrade an old Toshiba Satellite U400-14Z (http://www.toshiba.eu/discontinued-p...lite-u400-14z/) a little by changing the CPU. Initially there is a processor Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 with FSB to 1066 MHz but I thought to put there P9700 or P9500. It seems that they are similar, specification is exactly, except the speed and the amount of memory cache level 2. The question is: would this work?
    I also found CPU called T9900, which is the fastest of the family. However, T-line requires more power than the line P, 25W to 35W in comparison. Is it possible that she would work in this phone?
    Maybe there's even some CPU more Rapids that would fit. Y at - it all? I'm looking for the maximum possible speed.
    Thank you for the answers.

    Hello.

    Maybe there's even some CPU more Rapids that would fit. Y at - it all? I'm looking for the maximum possible speed.

    I found Intel® Core 2 Extreme Processor QX9300 who might be compatible. It has 4 cores and a thermal power of 45W design, compared to P8400 of TDP 25W. I suspect that the cooling of this laptop is insufficient to be able to disperse the money.

    Before you continue just a matter of discussion:
    Let's say I help you with this and damage you something or broke a plastic part, what you will do in this case?
    I mean you probably know that you can get a few small important parts as separate components.

    By the way: this description may be provided in the manual. Disassembly of the laptop is authorized personal only. When you buy a new car it is no description how to disassemble the entire engine, right?

    By the way: Jeanine's right. See this page. There are many useful tips on laptop disassembly procedure.

  • Satellite U400: Installation of XP and change the partitions

    Hello!

    First of all, sorry for my English, it is not good, I hope you understand me!

    I have a Satellite U400, and I would like to create a partition to install XP and have a dual boot with Vista.

    My first question is:
    I have seen that it is possible to download all the drivers xp... but they are the only upgrade, or in the book there is not driver for Xp in default?
    I need to install any drivers? And when I install it?
    Immediately after the first installation of XP?

    The second question is: I tried to resize the Vista partition, but Vista says it's impossible resize as much as I want to, because of file sharing and the snapshot.
    Can you help me solve this problem too?

    Thank you for your support!

    Bye!

    As to the question;

    (* 1) * first of all, you should check what model number you have. Driver Toshiba page provide XP drivers for 4 different U400 series.
    XP drivers that are released in the page are the most recent versions and if you want to use all the features of the laptop all the XP drivers must be installed after the installation of XP operating system.

    But before you try to install XP, you must include the SATA driver in XP. The SATA drivers are located in the Intel storage Manger.
    Please also check this forum for more information how to include the driver SATA in XP operating system.

    (* 2) * I guess you cannot shrink the partition because Vista needs a part on the partition for paging.
    It is an OS feature that allows you to use the HDD as RAM temporal.

    Please visit this 3rd party for more details:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/Understanding-Windows-Vista-paging-file-size/

    In your case, I would leave a few more space on the partition to make sure that this feature might work properly.

I was just wondering if the new card will be compatible, if I understand his also a Bluetooth card? I know that in the past, this is a case of grooving of the card and connecting the antennas.

  • Satellite U400-22Z - random character of space in addition to the letters types

    Hello!

    On a whole new Satellite U400-22Z by pressing the letters on the keyboard sometimes it types a space character in addition to the letter pressed after the letter. for example, by typing the word "test" it may look like in "you st" or "t" or your "t" (although if the problem appears, it allways inserts space at the same location in a word give, then it would always be "t's" If that Word is typed several times). the problem occurs randomly, sometimes, that the problem does not appear for an entire session or day, sometimes several times after another. the probleam appears in several programs (IE, explorer, firefox, Word, even to the connection of the user to the start!)

    I tried (after talking with toshiba support) and an update - chip and bios does not work remove the problem. even after a complete roll-back to the original state of pre-instaled/factory using the disk HARD recovery has failed. It is very difficult to locate/pinpoint the problem to some show because the problem might appear only a few days and then "strike" again...
    I am running vista home 32 on the laptop, and given that the bug appears when using only the installed software origin I dosent seem to be caused by something other than the original software...

    Any help would be greatly apreciated!
    Tankxs everyone!

  • Satellite P300 - on power turns on, but nothing happens on the screen

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P300-1F0, yesterday it was working fine, I turn it off nothing extraordinary happens.
    Although later, when I went to turn on I pressed the power button, but the screen was not working, I tried to connect an external display but nothing showed on this subject, although the power of lights was turned on, the drive CD opened and closed as normally don't and I could hear the fans work.

    That I realize windows 7 welcome sounds were not playing even after a few minutes with the laptop turned on and the laser mouse was working only for a few seconds before it shuts down.
    It was when I started to believe that this was not a screen problem, but something else.

    I have read a few forums and I tried to unplug the power cable, remove the battery, press the power button for 60 seconds and turn it on and it worked, it worked fine, I used the computer for a few hours without any problem.

    Today the same problem has occurred, and I tried to set the same way as I did yesterday, hold the power button for 60 seconds, but this time it did not work. I retried it for 3 to 5 times and nothing.
    After a few hours, leaving the computer is off, resting, I retried the process and now it worked.
    Now I'm afraid to turn off the laptop, because I need a lot of time and patience range to activate.

    What could be the problem and how do I solve it?
    Can you help me?

    cumpliments,
    Adriano

    > I have read a few forums and I tried to unplug the power cable, remove the battery, press the power button for 60 seconds and turn it on and it worked, it worked fine, I used the computer for a few hours without any problem.

    Yes, this workaround is sometimes useful to bring back the unity of life.

    > What could be the problem and how do I solve it?
    It's hard to say what causes this. Satellite P300 is an older model mobile phone, so it is possible that among the pieces of equipment begins to malfunction.
    It would be interesting to know if the use of the various modules of RAM would change the functionality of the laptop. If you have compatible RAM modules spare you can test it.

    In the worst case, it could be possible that beginning of motherboard laptop malfunction.
    It would be the worst case I hope for you that it s not mobo related issue.

    PS: Check if your BIOS is up to date. In case this is not the latest version, try to update the BIOS.

    Thanks Zeljko

    Hello

    To be honest, it's really strange.
    What you could do is to repeat the HARD drive recovery.

    Turn on the laptop, press the F8 key and choose fix my computer.
    Then choose Toshiba Recovery and you start the resettlement process.

    The laptop must be set to the factory settings, and you can check if the display problem would persist.
