• Problems of subsequent update on Portege M400 and W7

  I did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my Portege M400 and it looks particularly pretty good.

  However, I do not have a utility to map the buttons (including the one that indicates the landscape/portrait orientation has changed). Who would be on the Toshiba Software Installer for Windows 7 (tsi4win7.exe)? Attempt to run that flashes a dialog box before displaying a second dialog box saying "this device is not manufactured by Toshiba or the BIOS is not Windows 7 compatible. No update will take place."

  I check that the BIOS was not serious for WIndows 7 before making the instalation. Trying to apply the latest version of the BIOS gives an error message "[error] BIOS update is not supported. No support for operating system or service pack is installed. »

  Can anyone help?

  As much I know Portege M400 only is not supported for Win7. If you can not find drivers and tools specific to Toshiba for this model of laptop.
  I'm sorry.

  The only thing you can try is to install stuff for other models supported, in the hope, it works well.

• 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 and Autocad2007

  I can not change the color or thickness of a layer using the dialog box. You can select a new color/line thickness, but the change is not executed. It works on my desktop computer. I think that it is a video driver issue. Does anyone have a solution?

  Hello

  Well, it seems that there is a newer version of the AutoCAD application.
  Maybe it s just a matter of adjustment. I m not an AutoCad expertise but check the Toshiba page driver and compare versions of display driver.

  I also recommend to ask for support for the production of AutoCad.

• Portege M400 - cannot install OS or restore an old image

  I have a portege M400 and im hardly set any operating system of windows on them. When it gets to the stage where he asks what hard drive to put in place the windows files to, it does not detect the drives.

  I also have an image on a hard drive that I use a universal driver restore program to restore to any laptop regardless of the make and model and which also blue screens after the logo of windows xp when it starts up. The toshiba is the first laptop that I fell on this issue.

  The BIOS is currently 1.8 I think, I can't even put the hard drive in compatibility mode or AHCI.

  im a little confused about restrictions of this laptop.

  Can someone guide me on what I need to do to install windows on this machine please?

  Timox is right: the RAID driver must be added during the installation of Windows XP.
  During installation, you will be asked to add 3rd third-party drivers. As I m not wrong not you must press F6 to add the RAID driver.

  Very important note: do not format the HARD drive once the RAID driver has been added because this would remove the RAID driver from the HARD drive and installing Windows XP will fail again.

• Portege M400 - new HARD drive retains the old HARD drive password?

  I have a Portege M400 and I want to move my current hard drive with a new one.
  My current hard drive is password protected (I know the password).
  My questions are:

  If I switch to a new hard drive, a new retains the old password or not?

  Can I use the old drive with an external enclosure as an external drive, or it is impossible?

  I already tried to delete the password for hard drive with the methods presented on this forum by going into the BIOS, but version 3.8 has no option to remove the HDD password and I think that it is impossible to remove it.

  Please answer only if you have experience in cases like this, I don't want to spend money on the new hard drive and not be able to use as primary.

  Hey Buddy

  Please check this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=141590

  You can remove the HDD password (if it s you known) in the BIOS.
  In the field "User password" tab and just enter the old password. If you do want to set the new password, and then press "Enter".

  See you soon

• Portege M400: Why am I not asked a password at startup?

  Hello

  I have a Portege M400 and I used the Toshiba security software help put in place a the BIOS boot password, but also a protection of HARD drive password. This software, as well as the true BIOS (Esc + F1 at startup) show that the password I set is recorded or recognized.

  However, I'm not really asked any of these passwords when I start the computer.

  I have a system to dual-boot with the original WinXP for Tablet PC on one of the partitions and one Feisty Ubuntu on another. My boot loader is GRUB, but I do not understand why this should affect the behavior of the BIOS which should arrive before calling the bootstrapper...

  Can someone help me with this? It would be really important for me to protect my BIOS and the hard drive.

  Thanks in advance,
  dsokus

  1. check your security settings with password for Toshiba utility. Are these these configured correctly?
  2 you have the user or supervisor password? If you only set the supervisor password that you are not prompted for the password.
  3. try to put the HDD and user pw in the initial bios setup (press ESC when prowering on).

• Portege M400 - CPU cooling problem

  Last year, when I had used my Portege M400 for 2 years, he started the deadlock occasionally. Sometimes [I couldn't even start it | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjNa8-c2Aro]. With cut and try the method I found the problem. The Spring wire which clasps the CPU radiator, it was with not enough force:

  The problem was solvable by Berry to the claws spring begins to apply more force hugging the radiator of CPU:

  Apply a new layer of thermal grease has been useful as well:

  However, the solution works for only a few weeks. And then (especially if it's hot outside) the story begins again.

  Any suggestions how to solve the problem once and for all? Thank you.

  Hi Greendrake,

  It s really great that you are interested in your Portege M400 and you can remove it. It of really not easy and so this cannot be the people with a lot of experience.

  Anyway, as you know here our forum user s only. This means that you can speak with normal people like you and me. I would recommend therefore to contact a service provider authorized in your country. Maybe the guys know this problem or something else or you need a thermal grease special because not all compatible thermal greases all cooling.

  By the way: on the Toshiba site you can find a list of all service providers.

  I hope it helps. :)

• Portege M400 keeps freezing

  I recently bought a Portege M400 and it completely freezes and requires a hard reboot at least once per day - any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Hello

  You use the image of the preinstalled Toshiba or you manually installed the OS?
  Do you use the 3rd party software?

  I don't know if it is useful, but sometimes a high temperature could be responsible for the laptop computer from freezing.
  In most cases the cooling modules may not work properly due to the circulation of air is bad.
  Please remember that you have enough space around the laptop and the fans are clean.

  In addition, you can check the standby power settings that allow you to change the processor, the speed of processing and cooling method.

  If this does not help so I recommend asking for extra help Toshiba service partner and diagnosis.
  I assumed that the Portege M400 is a new unit and of the guarantee must be valid.

• Portege M400: Matter of time life battery

  Hello
  I am looking to buy a tablet PC - was having a look at Portege M400 and model Tecra T7. Although the battery life would be tolerable, I suppose it depends on how you have configured the computer and how to use it - and I'd certainly a margin of safety for more than 5 hours (3 on the tecra). These models have the ability to swap a new battery in and out easily, or install a second battery to increase life expectancy?

  Thank you
