• 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.

  Did someone tried this new update?
  I was put off by the wording of the disclaimer.
  It seems that in order to reduce the continuous fan use the price to pay will be a hot computer.
  Which will affect the life expectancy of computer?
  Also, as is an update of "stand alone", is it possible to undo changes and revert to a previous version if necessary?
  Finally, the increase of heat on the base of the unit going to do uncomfortable to work with in the form of tablets?
  Thanks for the feedback.

  Hello

  I found the news that Toshiba has designed a new BIOS update special V1.80W with improved noise in "idle" mode and low CPU load mode. This should help and the Portege M400 will run very quietly. It is possible that the low FAN speed will result in higher temperatures on the palpable user as palm rest or base of coverage. It will probably be a few degrees Celsius, but nothing serious.

• 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

  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 crashes due to overheating

  I have exactly the same problem with a Portege M400.

  After an hour or 2 the fan becomes extremely noisy and the PC freezes. The computer base would become too hot to the touch, and in fact stickers youcef/Microsoft and barcode based turned Brown due to heat.

  The only way to solve the problem seems to be to shut down the PC so 15-minutes and restart.
  When this happens, I usually only outlook running, Norton and a browser!

  This hs happening for about 6 months. I cleaned the fan but this made no difference - anyone know a fix?

  Hello

  If you have cleaned the cooling modules and if this t n helps, then you should get in touch with technicians from the ASP.
  Maybe the laptop it apart and must be cleaned inside.
  It is a very delicate procedure. Moreover, the thermal grease that I placed between the CPU and cooling modules should be renewed.
  After a long period of use, thermal grease becomes dry and is unable to channel the heat created by CPU.

  Last but not lease you must always use your laptop on a table. Use it in bed or lying on his knees. In this case the fan would not get enough air and this leads to a higher temperature.

• 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!

• 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 - Windows XP cannot find the hard drive

  Hello

  Ive got a Portege M400 who im looking to get a new one, I never had the Tablet XP CD so im trying to install using an XP Pro disk, but whenever I get no hard drive can be detected and I tried another disc of publishing house also.

  Ive looked for SCSI / SATA drivers but can only find RAID drivers which are not good for me.

  I hope someone can help me

  Thank you

  Hi wacksonjackson,

  Why these RAID drivers are not good for you? Windows XP requires RAID drivers if your laptop is RAID controller and there is no other choice to install XP from a normal Windows XP disc. Then download the RAID drivers on the official website of Toshiba. Either you create a new installation with the RAID drivers disc using nLite freeware tool or you copy the drivers on an external USB FDD and load them during the installation of XP.

  Also check similar topics here in the forum. You will find hundreds of similar topics on SATA and RAID drivers.

• Portege M400 - how to remove the condensation of water?

  I received a second hand toshiba portege m400 mail and saw there probably a condensation of water trapped between the external display and touch screen behind her. because the screen in the upper left corner looks whitish. and the sender of the laptop said he wasn't there when he sent it. I have a picture of trapped moisture, for those who want to see it.

  so, I opened the screen by unscrewing. and I saw that most of the moisture is stuck between the external screen glas and one other layer behind him, which I guess, is the part of the touch screen. who looks inaccessible. These 2? the layers form the upperpart of the screen.

  the lcdscreen with all the electronics in this layer, form the lower part of the screen or if you want, cover. This part is now oke. He also had a condensation of water on it and I was able to gently wipe the little moisture of the lcdscreen without problem. This helped a bit with this problem.

  but moisture remains trapped between the part of the touchscreen layer and this layer of glass in the upperpart of the screen/cover.

  hoping to evaporate the moisture, I left the enlightened a bit more open for a day, I broke even the upperpart and the lowerpart of the screen. I applied a little of an infrared lamp, a remote backup heat. anything that did not help.

  * so, how can I remove the condensation of water? *

  * is there a way to remove a layer in the upperpart of the screen to reach the humidity? *

  Hello olekike

  Please don t get me wrong, but I'm afraid, you need professional with this Mr. help as I see that your question is not answered for days now, and I think that nobody here has a lot of experience with this stuff.
  View replacement OK but how to remove the condensation of water on the touchscreen is perhaps too heavy for us.

  I recommend strongly to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. talking with the guys what we can do about it.

• 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.
