Monitor external flicker on Satellite U400-157

Hi all

Since last week, I bought laptop Satellite U400-157. When I connect to the external moniter laptop with charger plugged the external monitor is flickering (see a horizontal line). When I unplugged the charger the flicker is disappear.

I tried the following solution:

1. connect the laptop to different monitors (BENQ 20 "", ViewSonic 17 "and former VGA monitor)
2. using the power cable of 3 and 2 connectors for labtop and the monitor.
3. with the help of thick VGA cable.
4. with the help of another charger.
5. Finally, I went to the seller and ask him to try another laptop with the same model and the shock was that he has the same problem.

So I can consider it as a FAILURE of this model, or there is a solution for this problem?

Help, please

Hello

Hmm I doubt that this problem could be linked to the U400
I use the U400 too and I ve plugged on the external LCD Samsung monitor via HDMI port and the display does not Flash.

I also found this thread on the similar problem with Tecra M5
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=146910

The guy means that this could be also a problem of laptop but after several tastings, he founded the power cable supplied with the external monitor was questionable.

However, maybe your ASP must check the laptop and the material

  • Can I use Intel Wireless Display - Netgear PTV1000 on Satellite U400-157

    I want to use the NETGEAR PTV 1000 wireless display device. The hammer on the Net says I should be able to use it if I change the operating system to Windows 7. I see that I need http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-031059.htm Intel Wireless Display to use.

    The Intel Wireless WifI Link 5100 wireless on the Satellite U400-157 is. Seems that it is not one that is required to run the PTV 1000? So an operating system for Win 7 can not allow me to use the PTV 1000?

  • Satellite U400-157 - update of display graphics card problem

    Hi forum,

    I update my Toshiba (u400-157 model: psu44e) from vista to win7, the problem occurred when I tried to update my graphics display driver because it has been deleted when I did the upgrade.

    Then when I went to the toshiba support website I downloaded many drivers and it works fine but when I tried to download entry error message display driver graphic after having extracted the files and said (can't find script engine "VBScript" script "C:\Users\... etc".)

    Hello

    I have the same model of laptop, and to be honest, I didn't install the display driver because Win 7 install automatically the display driver and was able to get the latest update.
    So in my case, the installation of the new driver was not necessary.

    But have you tried the latest driver from Intel page?
    Try this!

  • Bad Service 3 months Satellite U400-157

    This is my problem with the Toshiba laptop travel:

    I bought in feb09 and held to my work to like once a week and then after 10 days what exactly I begin to install the system and use it.
    I discovered that the USB is not read my external hard drive that I bought as day of the laptop.

    I went to the shop where I bought it and they told me to leave and they send it to the service center.

    3 weeks later they said sorry, you have to pay money for the service because it is not under warranty more due to physical damage.

    I said there is no damage. The USB port does not work there is not zero even unique to my laptop.

    Sorry Mr usb is broken inside.

    How the hell can a user interrupt port on the inside? Please you can complain to toshiba headquarters if you don't like what we say, you must submit your complaint in exactly 7 days from the date of purchase.

    No find out about 7 days something can you please at least fix, sorry you must buy new motherboard

    Wow your laptop brand new, no single scratch even load any data yet I have to buy the new motherboard because they can not fix it under warranty and not more.

    What happens if the device has factory defult? No, Sir, it's impossible.
    Now this is happening since March until now.

    Can someone help me what should I do to recover my rights and have them fix it for me or give me a brand new.

    I hope someone can help me.
    I really feel blurred by Toshiba.

    Hello

    To be honest, I had never had any problem with my Toshiba service partner.
    I contacted my point of service twice because I had new adapter order because that one died.
    The part was replaced under warranty.
    Last time my keyboard has been replaced because some keys na? work t and the guys are really useful. The keyboard has been replaced very quickly and without major problems.

    Usually the laptop is covered by the international standard warranty for one year (12 months). During this time should be set free every hardware problem.
    Of course physical damage are not covered, but I think that it is nothing unusual because I don't know any manufacturer where the standard warranty would cover physical damage.

    Perhaps you could contact other ASP in your country in order to get a second opinion.
    It's worth a try.

  • How I restore the update to the BIOS on Satellite U400-157?

    I recently updated a Tempro alert for update of the BIOS for the notebook. Now, I noticed that the screen blanks a few times at PC startup. It was't there before. How do I roll back the update of the BIOS to a previous one.

    I don't get to see the BIOS updated screen other cases other than the time I did the BIOS update.

    Hello

    To be honest I don't understand exactly what your problem is.
    You said:. Now, I noticed that the screen blanks a few times at PC startup.
    Does that mean exactly? Is your black screen until Windows has started?

    To be honest, I put t think the BIOS update would be the reason for which go into the BIOS (press F2) and set the default BIOS settings (F9) and save the changes (F10).

    If you want to recover the BIOS version earlier, then you will need Flash module ROM BIOS using a basic BIOS version BACK. You will find on the European driver Toshiba page only the win versions

    Just a question; Do you mean the external monitor?

    > I unplugged and it stopped, and it worked when I plugged it in.
    Do you mean that you have disconnected from the laptop AC adapter?

    This sounds like the problem known to me
    I read many similar discussions in various forums

  • Satellite U400-15E - cannot start new USB HDD

    Hello.

    Recently a bought a WD My Book external with 3TeraByte to use with my Satellite U400-15E. I can use inside Windows 7 Ultimate without problem. But if I try to boot from it (by pressing the F12 key), the BIOS does not even see the drive.

    Is it because Toshiba does not use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)? UEFI BIOS can overcome the limitation of 2.19 to in computers today easily, as explained in the following Western Digital document:
    [http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/Flyer/ENG/2579-771501.pdf]

    This would allow me to use my new external drive to store an image Ghost drive HARD internal of my Toshiba for example. I mean 3 TB and more capacity is a reality today. When Toshiba updates their UEFI BIOS support?

    Material used:
    Toshiba Satellite U400-15E (BIOS v5.00 10/26/2010)
    Western Digital My Book Essential 3TeraByte - Firmware v1.014 (USB 3.0 interface)
