My Satellite U400-100 overheating?

• Satellite U400-135 overheating

  Hello

  A few weeks back I bought the new Toshiba Satellite U400-138 and now I feel it is a lower design due to numerous complains that I found one here in the forum support or by people who have tried to deal with this series.

  Fist of all the overheating problem becomes not affordable as I'm about to lose my fingers due to the extreme heat comes from the lower level of touch pad! In addition it usually takes more than 7 minutes to get the login screen of windows while beginning to the top of the window and when you access the window continues to display the CPU usage almost 100% long just by clicking the internet explorer, so I can't do anything except wait (it's killing slow) and when I compare with my old P4 desktop , according to me, how I was wrong when I decided to go to the U-400!

  Today I've decided to take the laptop to the Toshiba dealer and when I was there, I tried to touch the lower part of the availbel for similar in the showroom model and it was very hot and when I asked the sales man there he informed me that there are many customers reported the same complain so I referred me to their service center for inspection and I'm so annoying now because my new laptop will be served after only two weeks and I think that this model is a design of lower quality and the only way to get rid of this problem to get the same replaced by something else?

  your valuable comments is highly apprciated.

  Salvation will be

  I have a U400 too. It s a U400 which belongs to the series of PSU40E.
  I use two BONES; Vista and XP.

  Initially the Vista started slowly, it was not too slow but slower than Win XP.

  I studied a bit and found a solution;
  First of all, I discovered that many background processes and apps have loaded early in the boot process in MSCONFIG, you can find these applications.

  I disabled some unnecessary programs (for me) and the notebook starts up much faster.

  Moreover, I noticed that Tempro update tool helped me a lot.

  So please check these two proposals.
  I don't know that it could help you...

  Regarding the temperature more high touchpad;
  Well, my touchpad is also hotter than the rest of the cover of the laptop but is nothing unusual because cooling modules are placed under the touchpad and the left side is warmer due to the dissipation of the heat of this side of the laptop

  If you shouldn't be worried; It is not unusual

  Bye & have a nice day

  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 - 112 (PSU40E) - Safe BIOS upgrade - SOLUTION

  Dear all,

  Trying since long upgrade for the bios of my laptop favorite... Toshiba Satellite U400-112 (PSU40E)
  I have Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) English and BIOS version 4.00(until yesterday).
  The problem was that, in windows 7 (32 & 64 bit), the tool flash never started the process of update due to several incompatibilities.
  There is a solution (in fact a workaround solution) to be honest and works 100%!

  My solution is:

  (A) download the latest bios upgrade version appropriate for your laptop, save it (tomake it is easier in the root of the C:\ drive) and unpack it in a temporary folder (for example: bios).

  (B) use the Hiren's Boot CD a real support from a USB or CD (download and burn a CD or follow the process of CD copy on a USB key).

  (C) boot the laptop from the CD or USB flash and in Hiren's Boot Menu, select the version of mini Windows XP.

  (D) allow completely Windows XP startup and then run the tool to update the bios flash from the temporary folder. The update procedure make it exactly as it is described in the manual of the bios update. (If you are not experienced)

  (E) it will update the bios, and then he stops himself. Then you can start normally your operating system, remove any CD or USB key mounted on it.

  I hope you find it helpful and convenient.

  Best regards

  Ioannis

  To be honest I updated the BIOS on my U400 (running Win 7 32 bit), A210 (Vista) and Tecra A10 (Win 7 64 bit) using the victory as the BIOS version and never had any problems in running the tool
  Anyway thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community

• Satellite U400 - problem with the new extension to 2 GB RAM

  Hello

  My satellite U400 have 3 GB of DDR2 memory. (2 GB DDR Kingston PC5300 + 1 go)
  I tried to put 4 GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB DDR2 PC5300 Kingston).
  But I have the blue screen on startup of windows.

  Each extension RAM works very well (try with 2 GB of RAM only).

  Windows 7-64 bit / CRUCIAL M4 256 GB HARD drive.

  Do you have any solutions?

  Thank you.

  Can you please post exact model laptop (U400-xxx)?
  I just want to which Kingston modules are 100% compatible with your laptop satellite.

  I can only imagine that you are using incompatible Ram. All compatible modules will be recognized correctly and you will be able to boot your laptop as usual.

• Satellite U400 - color of the shell of edges and slow start of the housing

  Hi all

  Just bought a Satellite U400-15B and am loving the laptop itself but have the following two issues.

  First of all, regarding the case I noticed that on the edge of the high gloss base (where he meets the not shiny black plastic bottom) the paint is already peeling.

  It is mainly about above the left USB port, CD drive in Rabat and at the rear above the battery (only visible when the lid is closed). It is very minor and is only visible when looked at her carefully, but obviously I paid a lot for this so do not want to look all worn in a few months. Someone at - it? I took a look at a few display models and its mixed, some are worn in areas similar some are perfect. I would like to exchange it, but I'm afraid that the replacement can be another problem like a dead pixel or may have the same problem only worse?

  Second, I noticed that my laptop takes a long time to start compared to my old Toshiba A200 which also runs Vista. I removed a lot of bloatware and the Toshiba TEMPRO, which I heard is also causing problems, but I still have this problem. It seems to start fine until the Vista logo screen then it takes awhile, while displaying "Please wait".

  Anyone has any ideas on this?

  Hello MrAK

  If the laptop is brand new and you have a few days only I recommend you contact your dealer as soon as possible and. Talk with them and explain that you don't want to have replacement with dead Pixel or something like that. I hope they will understand you and help get new but 100% good laptop.

  Slow start is discussed several times. I have Satellite A300 and commissioning was horrible, but now, after a slight modification it starts after only 1.5 minutes.

  I have download the good drivers for protector of HDD on Windows Vista, but an error message appears saying that the program is not compatible with this model.

  Hello

  I visited the European Toshiba driver page and didn t find the Vista drivers for the U400 PSU44E series.
  Are you sure that you downloaded the good HDD Protection Utility to 100%?

  At the other hand that this error message may appears because the HDD Protection Utility is not fully compatible with the ultimate edition of Vista

• Satellite U400-15E: cannot use Bluetooth

  Hey guys

  Newbie here.
  I just bought a new satellite U400-15e.
  I did as follows.

  The switch market and fn + f8.
  Everything is on and without bluetooth installation came.

  All advice is appreciated.

  Off topic, I bought my laptop in March, but when I registered it, it showed that my warranty ends in November? I thought it was a 1 year warranty.

  Help, please

  Hello

  With regard to the question of Bluetooth:
  Are you sure that your laptop U400-15E has been equipped with Bluetooth module to 100%?
  Check the bottom of the camera! If the BT has been installed, then you should see a few labels of BT.

  With regard to the question of the guarantee:
  Usually you've got a standard one year warranty and it s is available on the first day of purchase.
  But you can extend this standard warranty. If you would register the notebook on the Toshiba page then you would get, second year additional warranty.

• Satellite U400-217 - does not of media control buttons

  Hey all,.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-217, which is one year old.

  For some reason any lately the light on the media controls button doesn't seem to work - where he usually lit up the touchpad line and writing of Satellite. Other media control buttons seem to work well. If I hit the light button, it turns on for a second to tell me his touchdown then disappears and nothing happens.
  What could be the problem?

  I have searched several sites looking for a response, but can't seem to find it, I even looked for the driver, but could not find this not even on the Toshiba site - I have no idea of what is still called the driver. I also tried turning the phone off, remove the battery, put the battery back in and connect to the charger. With no luck. Help would be very appreciated: I hope someone can give me information to operate! Thank you in advance,

  Julie

• 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.

• Motherboard for Satellite U400-15E work Equium U400-124?

  Hello

  My graphics card died on my U400 - 124 & I said that the motherboard must be replaced.
  I found one for a Toshiba U400-15 and I was wondering if that will enter my chassis.
  It's ok if I have to reformat my hard drive & reinstall windows.

  Here's what he said on that I found.

  Compatible with A000027670 A000060020 31TE1MB01N0

  I have attached a picture of my model below.

  Any help is really appreciated

  According to the image of the Equium U400-124 belongs to the series of PSU42E

  Satellite U400-15E belongs to the PSU44E, but both series are very similar, and I guess that the motherboard could be compatible... the presentation of the motherboard seems even if from my point of view of a few you should be able to install this card.

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

  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?
