• Portege M400-139: can't find 3G modem

  I have problem with my 3G modem: I can't find my modem 3G (my computer/properties/Device Manager). When I bought my Portege M400-139, I saw this modem (my computer/properties/Device Manager), and I haven't had any problems with the modem.

  After 2 weeks, I lost the modem without any reason.

  Hello

  What are the first 6 digits of your serial number for Portege M400?

  As far as I know Toshiba has delivered two different protected M400 series.
  The series with number of PPM40E does not support the 3G modem and the series with the number of PPM41E has been delivered with the card 3 G.

  So be sure that you have the good series that supports this feature

• Portege M400 - How can I take it apart?

  Hi all

  Im having problems with my second hand M400 heat. Now, the former owner told me that Toshiba has changed the motherboard once.

  Given that temperatures are high and the fan runs almost all the time even if theres no CPU usage and its im limited down, thinking the power have made a mistake at the toshibas during reassembly of the unit. Maybe they forgot the screw grease or dindn can't heat from the heatsink down properly or therelike. And the fan dosent sound very healthy compared to my other M400, the elderly.

  If someone of you has never disassembled a M400? How do you get on the radiator, top or bottom of the unit? fragile or delicate parts? that I should look out? Y has even a how-to with pictures over there in the depths of the internet? : D

  I have built and repaired many workstations, so im quite computer savvy, but on laptops I only changed RAM so far. So im really thankful for all your advice.

  Thank you

  Hello!

  I think the best way is to contact you the ASP.

  Disassemble a laptop is a bit tricky. You should remove a lot of screws and parts and so this should only be done by a technician of the laptop.

  Maybe you can find a work around using Google, but a laptop computer technician can help you more.

  Good bye

• Windows 7 can't detect the TOSHIBA Portege M400 RAID driver

  I put to level my M400 tablet from Windows XP to Windows 7.

  Questions of compatibility check out, all right. In research I realized I needed to upgrade the RAID driver to a version of Win7. So I downloaded which, from my external hard drive to install to Win7, and installing Win7 can't find it. I tried the same thing with a variant of Vista with no luck. Even through the installation on the hard drive itself, nothing happened. Impossible to get in the tio silent run command prompt, absolutely nothing. I'm back where I throw this computer out of my 4th story window.

  Any help please?

  Hello

  Where did you download the RAID driver?
  Please try to download the RAID driver on the Toshiba site directly. These drivers are pre-tested and should work on your laptop too.

  The older Portege M400 taken Windows 7 isn't supported so in the worst case, you can t use it.
  But normally the drivers should work on Vista so make sure you are using the correct driver.

  I can copy files CD for the new HD system, but the result is a failure to blue screen when the system boots.

  I can't get a clean install of Windows XP to start same - HD is not recognized despite the use of the Toshiba SATA/RAID drivers from a floppy disk.

  I tried to use Norton Ghost to copy an image of the HD (work) in the new HD, but which also results in a blue screen failure.

  Turn off the laptop and the beginning he presses the ESC key.
  On the third page of the bios (pg down), you will find the raid configuration.
  I assume you actually already the RAID setting, but it is not really written on the HARD disk.

  At a first remove the RAID and replace JOBD confirmation of the 1234 password.
  Save the settings restart und. Re-enter the bios and change JOBD to RAID (new 1234).
  After that your HARD drive works perfectly!

• 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!

• Re: Question about the CD/DVD player for Portege M400

  I have a Portege M100 - and the CD-ROM drive does not work.

  Whenever I put a disc in I can just hear the motor turn the disc, but the computer is not picking up the drive. Device Manager picks up flawless.

  It doesn't seem to be any firmware for this sorting (or am I wrong).

  I've seen a DVD player for a M400 on ebay and I was wondering if that would take on my M100.

  Before buying it, I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be compatible. It seems to be OK size wise, but I was wondering if my Portege M100 XP would be able to use it.

  The description for the drive I want to put in the M100 is below:

  Thank you very much for your time. :)

• 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: How to configure command in Vista buttons

  Hello!

  Can someone tell me how to use the buttonsetting.ini to configure the buttons with the TBSbtnSt.exe.
  Best result would be to get the Coursor and Rotation of the display lid buttons to work under Vista.

  Thanks for the tips!
  Jochen greetings

  Hello

  On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find all the Vista drivers required for a Portege M400.
  There is also a Support Button driver and this driver allows you to customize and TOSHIBA special button preset settings.
  There is also a Tablet PC for Vista Extension Package!
  This package installs a range of important public services and contains this apclations:

  TOSHIBA Rotation utility: Set the orientation of the screen by default as the system to be used in the transition from the PC to Tablet mode, or vice versa.

  TOSHIBA Tablet PC buttons driver: You can dedicate the buttons on the tablet to perform common tasks so that you can easily use your tablet PC away from your workstation. For example, you can dedicate a button to open a program or to change the orientation of your screen.

  TOSHIBA accelerometer utilities: These utilities are a set of material utilities that work with the integrated motion sensors you machine. With the accelerometer, your machine will be able to detect how you're holding it at one point. You can set the machine to perform a specific function when the device is tilted quickly left or right, either at the front or back. You can also take control of the cursor in some applications and move by leaning the PC in a certain direction
