Picking and Portege M400 displacement causes the crash and locking of the

I have a new problem with Portege M400, which began a few days ago.

If I pick it up or move it, then it will crash or lock up. I wonder if anyone has any idea as to what may be the cause of this and what can be done?
My only guess is to replace the hard drive?

Thank you
Greg

> Turn off accelerometer does not help. Internet research indicates that it is possible a motherboard problem. Replacement motherboard solves problems for about 6 months to a year, then it returns.

I doubt that it could be a motherboard problem, what the gbaniseter say this happens when it pick up or move the m400, then it will crash or lock up.
This seems to be a problem of HARD drive and it s nothing uncommon who, after a long period of use of the disk HARD start HARD drive malfunction is a sensitive device and can die because of the physical restraint
Replace the HARD drive and check if the problem would happen!

    I hope that your laptop is not in tablet mode, because if the laptop into hibernation in tablet mode and when you accidentally stick the buttons under the screen of the laptop can be awakened from hibernation mode.

  • Pick activity with transaction XA causing the double mistake

    Hi all

    Hi all

    I have a BPEL service that reads the message to a JMS queue and then waits for a response with a PICK 5 min on alarm activity. Now there are rare cases, when I did not receive the answer within 5 minutes (but after > 5 min) and the Pick activity goes into alarm and error. But my JMS queue has an active XA transaction and that translates into a retry of the function of the source. This re-triggers all of the services and another pick activity is created. the choice of the second activity ends sometimes successfully, but sometimes also with the double-error error activity.

    The exact error message is attached here... Note also that we set the correlation id for the intervention on the pick activity...

    concerning

    Hello

    That's an option... but I try to understand what is causing this intermittent problem to throw the double error message.

  • Portege M400: cannot copy the files on the disk HARD - can't see any of my files in Word

    I bought the M400 a few weeks ago. There are a number of problems. Adobe reader gives "an internal error has occurred", manual installation of download gives "error occurred in the file zip", download or copy of the files on the hard disk gives error "there is no space" when there are only 8 gig used from 60 GB. Now, I don't see any of my files in Word.

    I can also copy the files from the cd or DVD. I'm in canada mississauga on Horus, usually resident in the United Kingdom, so I'm in a precarious situation because I can't in my office to sort out the issues.

    Can someone advise me please why all these problems are happening, do I have to use the recovery disk? Baz

    > Forgive me but how to put the hard drive in business.

    I think that the Johnny means that you connect the HARD drive to another computer using the external USB HDD controller. These external USB HDD cases can be purchase in every store of the computer.

    However, if you n t need data that are placed on the HARD drive, you could simply start installing the OS from the recovery CD. This will format the whole HARD drive and install the new operating system as well as all the drivers, utilities and software further.

    My wireless connection was working fine with my conection DSL broadband 2 years ago, I was using router Netgear wireless. In the last 2 years that I did not use wirless conection, recently I bought Thomson TG585 router to my ADSL connection wireless broadband.

    I went through all the settings and even I have discussed this question with the technical team bradband and say there is problem with my computer laptop bcz Mac Desktop works fine.

    I checked in the wireless troubleshooting setting and still not able to solve this problem.
    I use KesperKey Internet Security and I tried to turn it off for the test connection wireless but always face same problem.

    I wonder if anyone can help me?

    Hello

    Disable all the security settings on your router and then try to connect the M400 protected wireless.
    If you will be able to connect to the WLan and will be able to navigate a few s webpage you could activate step by step all the security settings such as encryption of WLan, Mac address filtering, SSID hidden, etc.

    By the way; Have you tried to update the driver WLan?

  • Portege M400-103's unstoppable to restart

    I have a portege m400-103 at the end of year 2006.

    A few months ago, I found a trouble - if I reboot the noutbook, then after the detection of material and enter the password nout, turn off the power and from new cycle. Reset of the supply, which happened before the operating system starts.

    After removing the hard drive, turn on, turn off, install hard drive again and power on in 50% starting normally.
    I see the SMART hard disk and bad blocks - all normally.

    And yet another thing - if nout not to restart the nut - all working fine a few weeks without any problem. I close the lid and note go to sleep and waik upward then absolutly fine in a few weeks.

    What can I do with it?

    Hello

    It's a little difficult to understand the detachment, but it seems that the laptop doesn't start correctly sometimes.

    > I see the SMART hard disk and bad blocks
    SMART monitors the HARD drive and provides details if something is not wrong with the HARD drive
    Maybe the problem is related to the HARD drive
    This may be possible

    So I recommend you to check the HARD drive. Maybe the laptop would serve using a new HARD drive

  • Portege M400 - always 100% fan running

    I was pleased to receive my new toshiba portege m400 today, but the noise of the fan is quite bad.
    The problem is that he always runs 100% - I tried the Toshiba power save the properties of
    set the speed of the fan, but nothing is made, it has no effect at all. Also, I tried to put
    all three bios power options (low, full power, user), but that has no effect either.
    Worse still, the cpu temperature is very cool, just 29 degrees, and there is no need
    at all to run the fan at full speed. I guess that the power save utilities are bugged, and I wonder
    If Toshiba will come out with a new version of their tools? Is there something I can do?

    Thank you
    -Daan.

    PS. the version of the bios 1.30, toshiba power save tools 7.08.00. The processor speed is dynamic, generally at 1 ghz and
    the temprature is very low.

    Hello

    Try to clean the cooling modules. You can use the vacuum.
    In addition, you must use the laptop in the places where fans can suck the air out without any problem.

  • Portege M400: Cannot install windows XP

    Hello

    My friend gave me his Toshiba Portege M400 (PPM40E) at the table of settings windows XP (HHD is already formatted copmletely).

    Before that I've never worked with SATA controller

    So, when installing RAID drivers are required for any HDD lying.
    I bought the USB floopy and downloaded some drivers from Intel.

    Having suffered a bit, I found requireded (as I thought), hard disk drivers detected (even the license agreement I signed) but that pilots still needed to proceed with the installation.

    IF someone faced this problem can you send me on my e-mail ([email protected]) required drivers or give me an exact link?
    Looking forward to your advice.

    Thank you for understanding,
    Best regards from Russia

  • Portege M400 and Vista - load PSD ends with crash

    I am an owner of a Portege M400 (PPM40E) and recently upgraded my Vista operating system. All new drivers work very well except for the * TPM *. Here's what's happening.

    There's nothing wrong with the installation of security platform. I can create a disc to ensure personal (PSD), load and unload until the first time I got disabling my computer.
    After each attempt to load the PSD is answered by an accident. Two seconds after the sending of password, I get a blue screen that informs me the source of the problem: * PFN_LIST_CORRUPT *, a memory dump file is created and the system restarts.

    Anyone facing this problem? Does anyone know how to restore data from a backup manually the PSD created? The Restore dialog box does not accept the * .fsb file.

    It would be great if someone could help me with this as I have not 'clear' backup files that I had stored on the DSP.

    Thanks in advance,

    Rob

    Hello

    I googled a little and found details of error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT.
    NFP: Page frame number and describes the sharing of individual images of main memory where the driver running or orders of this application.
    If an application or driver is beyond this scope, then a BSOD will appear.

    Here are a few tips and proposals to solve this problem I found on an external Web page:
    -updated the BIOS and set the default settings
    -reinstall and update the display driver, audio driver, LAN driver, etc.
    -Reinstall the security help,
    -update the Windows operating system

    In the worst cases, this problem could be caused by a malfunction of the RAM, and in this case, the RAM modules should be replaced.

    Sorry, but I didn't find more info on this issue.

  • Portege M400: Is it possible to receive and make calls with the SIM card

    Is it possible to receive and make calls with the card SIM module in the Portege M400?

    I know that you can send and receive sms messeges, which, according to me, the software is not all good because you can't hold much, and you can't send to ems or mms.

    But there may be other software here?

    Hello

    What software do you mean exactly?

    As far as I know that the MobiLink was preinstalled on some units Portege M400.
    This software supports these features:
    Send and receive SMS, composition and read TEXT messages in several languages, compose and send to multiple recipients, the mobile contacts address book support, Rich edit for the launch of URL and Email using embedded addresses.

    As you can see that you can not use this software to make calls!
