  • Satellite Pro U400-13O: can not enter TrueSuite without the fingerprint

    After having downgraded to WinXP
    I deferred to configure my fingerprints.

    On one occasion, I agreed to store a password in TrueSuite.
    Now I can't enter TrueSuite more because the software waits to read my fingerprints for the purpose of verification of the user - it is not yet registered.

    There is no possibility to enter my password user or such.

    What can I do - just uninstall/reinstall the program?

    Can I reinstall the program from the CD to downgrade, or would it reinstall the system?

    Hello

    Usually, you can also use the passwords stored in the logo of the OS.
    If you don t want to use fingerprint authentication, but prefer to use the press focused on the keyboard system BACK SPACE key when the screen of fingerprint authentication system startup is displayed. This allows to switch the password entry to the basic one keyboard screen.

    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.

    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.

  • Satellite Pro U400-11V - Sharp noise when starting with connected screen

    Hello

    We received 5 x computers laptops Satellite Pro U400-11V, are excellent, with one exception:

    When you start (it happens on all of them) with a screen VGA monitor plugged in, a high beep is played from what looks like the speaker system. It occurs just before the first splash screen windows.

    Once the windows login screen is displayed a monitor can be connected to any problem & works very well.

    What can I check? I have had a look but do not find all the tracks so far, where this post.

    Thank you
    -A

    Perhaps you are meaning that the beep POST (Power on self test)?

    The laptop still sounds if the POST has been successfully passed.

    Parts of the motherboard will be verified during POST, and if everything is ok, a beep is displayed.

    If something would be a mistake, the laptop will not start and different beeps would appear.

    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.

  • Can Satellite Pro U400-13I - I reinstall the CD/DVD creation software?

    Hello

    Can someone help me with my problem.
    I have a Satellite Pro U400-13I and use XP he. As I experienced some problems with the creation of CD, I decided to uninstall and reinstall.
    However, I am unable to find the program to install only the software above without having to run the XP DVD recovery (which will format the entire HARD drive), I have a lot of data and some third party software that I do not want to miss, so is unable to format the drive HARD rightaway.

    Would appreciate a solution

    Thanks in advance

    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.

    I hope this is the right forum to display this property (if not, please let me know where I should post this) and nude w / a beginner like me. Any help or direction will be appreciated.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-160 is more than a year. I have not used a lot lately, because I usually use my netbook computer for day to day stuff, but the Toshiba contains some files I want to see lost. That's the message that came when I turned on my laptop for the last time:

    "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
    To solve the problem:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
    2. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    3. click on "repair your computer".

    If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance

    File: \Boot\BCD

    Usually, I store all my software as a whole but I recently changed from home and for the life of me, I can't find the Toshiba recovery system disk. Even if I did, however, which would mean losing all files on my computer?
    My question is, is there a way to fix this without losing all data? Should I first try to save the data somehow and then solve the problem? And finally, how to solve this problem with/without the recovery CD?

    Thanks in advance. Any help will be MUCH appreciated.
    PS. This look is like a virus? What is a windows update that has corrupted some files?

    Hi monstarika,

    You can access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and boot into safe mode?
    If so try also to start the recovery of HARD drive if you choose fix my computer. If the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba is still installed, you can use this feature.

    If this work of t doesn't and you don t have the recovery disc, you can order directly in an enw one of Toshiba. That s no problem because you can order it online here:

  • Satellite Pro U400 freezes sometimes when the power cord is plugged

    Hello! I know that this problem has been addressed here and there, but I'd like to open a new thread about it. Here's the scenario.

    I recently bought a new Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-247 (PSU45E) with two batteries: (a) the original, (b) in addition purchased authentic of Toshiba PA3636U-1BRL, 7200 mAh. The laptop has the latest BIOS (4.80) and the latest drivers downloaded from Toshiba and installed (ConfigFree is not installed). I use XP Pro SP3 (own installation by myself). Everything works fine, except for one thing:

    Sometimes (but), when the laptop is running on battery power and I plug in the power cord, everything hangs and I have to restart. A few observations:

    It tends to occur more frequently when the low battery alarm has rung;
    (b) it seems to happen more frequently with the 7200 mAh battery and less frequently with the original battery.
    (c) it seems to happen most often when a USB device (mouse, for example) has been linked to the laptop, but it is not a rule;
    (d) it seems to happen less often when I move the mouse USB at the time wherever I am connect the power cord.
    (e) I've experimented a lot with Toshiba PowerSaver settings (for example to change the levels of CPU for my profile) but nothing I changed seems to change the situation.
    (f) I tried different suggestions I found on various forums, but nothing works (for example the BIOS settings);
    (g) otherwise, I can say that I have not really seen a smoother computer, everything works really fine, no other problem :)

    Everything that makes me think it must be some sort of bug in the drivers of motherboard driver PowerSaver or other drivers interact with battery, CPU or possibly USB. Y at - it an explanation to this problem and can it be rectified in some way (for example, by providing a driver update)?

    Hello

    First of all, I never heard a driver from the motherboard.
    There is a drive chipset or a graphics card driver. There is no such thing as a driver of the motherboard!

    Look, man. laptop should work fine even the AC adapter is connected or not connected
    If the laptop freezes while there might be a software problem, but in my opinion it could be hardware problem
    You must reinstall the operating system if the laptop would freeze always the issue might be related to hardware

    First of all the memory modules and AC adapter must be verified.
    If the problem persists even using new modules and AC adapter, motherboard may be affected.

  • 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 U400-130 - 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.
