  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.

  Replace the HARD drive and check if the problem would happen!

• Portege M400 - Toshiba Flash Cards crashes on Vista

  Toshiba Flash Cards crashes on Vista when windows is configured to use the standard color scheme "windows" under appearance settings, (for your information, I prefer to use this mode, vista runs faster, uses less energy and less ram system in this mode).

  However, he does not plant immediately, on the contrary, it seems to crash whenever I flip the screen (which happens quite often that I m using a tablet pc) with the version previous software it crashed at startup but which seems to have been fixed with this version, although not completely, but when it blocks it completely will not close even if I force the Task Manager to end the process (rather than just the) Task).

• 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,

  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.

• Cannot install Vista Business on Portege M400 - IDE issues

  Hi guys... I am looking for your help.

  I downloaded all the new Vista drivers avaiable from Toshiba in support of the new installation of Vista business on my old Portege M400, that came preloaded with a version of XP Tablet and kept their loan on a CD.

  I also upgraded the version of the ACPI BIOS to the latest available 3.80.

  I insert the first CD of Vista professional and do a boot. (I also have a n upgrade Vista Business CD but I want to do a clean install).
  I go past the first steps and choose Install.
  I am faced with an error message "no disk has been found. "Click on load a driver to provide a device for installing mass storage.

  Looks like Vista is not able to see the IDE drive to the edge and it's a driver problem.

  I touched the "Rescan" button available on the windows installation and another message appears: "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct driver, and then click OK. »

  Pls tell, what new drivers since available downloads of drivers Vista for my model 400 ML PPM40E, should I choose here for my Vista installation recognizes the disk available?

  Hello

  It is very easy to solve this problem.
  If you would look on the page of the European driver Toshiba (Portege M400 section), then you will notice that a RAID driver is available for this model of laptop.

  Impossible to install Vista because it cannot find the HARD drive due to lack of RAID driver!

  You must install the RAID driver first and then you can proceed with the installation of Vista.
  As far as I know the Vista installation accepting the USB flash key you can use this key to include the RAID driver.

  Hope I could give some useful advice.

  Cheers mate

• Portege M400 - frequency FSB settings?

  Portege M400 there spetrum FSB settings? I don't find it anywhere and I need to turn it off.

  Could someone point out to me if the setting exists or not...

  Hi Skochito,

  What you mean with FSB exactly? Front Side Bus of your CPU?

  In this case I can only say s not possible to overclock the CPU. BIOS doesn t offer such options and overclocking can make your system unstable and overheating!

• 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 - how to remove the Protector Suite fingerprint data

  Hi all

  (1) Protector Suite 5.4 sometimes generated a crash of Windows XP on my Portege M400.

  (2) I followed the suggestion of WinXP and upgraded to version 5.8. Unfortunately, this way I lost the automatic access features to Web sites protected by (the online help 5.8 says that this module is optional, but I have not found how to install it).

  (3) so I uninstalled the 5.8 and put again on the 5.4.

  (4) in the event of a disaster.

  (5) it is clear that the fingerprint data, updated to 5.8 format, are still somewhere in the system. Uninstalling Protector Suite's not destroy them. For this reason the 5.4 original does not do something, because in its user opinion data are corrupted. First of all, I can't remove/change data user from inside the program.

  So, please, let me know where these data of fingerprints damned are so I'll be able to remove and Protector Suite from scratch.

  Thanks in advance.
  PEI

  Hello

  I think there must be a folder or files storing fingerprints
  But I m not sure where it is placed

  However, as far as I know, you can use ONLY PS to enrol fingerprints.
  Have a look here:
  http://img22.imageshack.us/i/protectorsuite.gif/

  There is an option that can cancel the stored fingerprints.

  If uninstalling the software didn't help then use and clean the BONES and using a tool, for example, the registry CCLeaner.
  It deletes all files and data on the HARD drive (in the registry) which have not been removed by Windows.

• Portege M400: Is it possible to upgrade processor

  Hi all :)

  I have a Portege M400 with a T2300 and I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade the processor, a
  If so, what CPU are compatible and with what version of bios?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Usually the upgrade CPU or replacement on laptops is not possible or very difficult and risky. It could be possible that the laptop does not start or will not work stable after upgrading the CPU. The overheating could be one of the biggest problems!

  So, really, I do not recommend upgrading the processor! It s not worth risking damage only to get a small increase in CPU performance.

  But if you want to know which processor is supported by the chipset then the following ;)

  The M400 computer is equipped with a processor Intel Core Duo or Intel Core Solo processor. These processors include a mathematical coprocessor, a 2 MB L2 cache.

  The M400 comes with one of the following speeds:

  _Intel core Duo Processor_
  -1.66 GHz (processor number: T2300)
  -1.83 GHz (processor number: T2400)
  -2.00 GHz (processor number: T2500)
  -2.16 GHz (processor number: T2600)

  _Intel core Solo Processor_
  -1.66 GHz (processor number: T1300)

  I hope I could help!

  Greetings and soon my friend :)

• Portege M400 system hangs after Vista system restore

  My system crashed by doing a system restore. Now on startup it gives errors. When I boot from the CD, I go for the choice of the partition to install on and there is no partition, and it has this error:

  No hard drive found. Click on load a driver to provide for installing mass storage driver.

  I went to Toshiba and Microsoft for help. Or can direct me to the right solution. I can't find my recovery disk. I have just the windows installation disc. Is there an easy fix for this?

  * original title - cannot fine partition on Portege M400 during installation of Windows Vista Business 32 bit.*

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  For any problem, reinstall Vista, contact the manufacturer of your laptop.

  Here is the General info on reinstallation of Vista:

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• 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.

• Touch screen does not work on the old Portege M400

  I'm trying to restore an old Toshiba Portege M400. I have WIN XP Tablet 2005 installed and which, according to me, are all the drivers. Everything works perfectly except the touch screen.

  I've been all over the web, downloaded and installed some drivers WACOM Vigneau suggested in another thread here - still no luck.

  > I would not be able to use my fingernail or or a pencil eraser to type with (I don't have any kind of pen) just to test?

  To my knowledge, you have the pen in order to use the touch screen.
  As far as I know there are two pens in the portege M400.
  The reserve pen located at the bottom of the unit that there should be a slot that the second pen.
