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.

  • White screen to update the Portege M400 firmware after waking from sleep state

    Why this topic has been closed? http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19803&MessageID=74193

    I just wanted to add that this update does NOT resolve the problem in vista and it is NOT a driver problem. The update will not install in vista and vista is already provided with videoprt.sys 5.1.2600.2911.

    When it occurs, the laptop again indeed. You can manipulate and even hear the sounds, but the backlight does not come on or there is no output from the video card. I'm fairly certain that it is a signal of hardware problem.

    No matter what laptop I, euro or us, could someone please tell me the file so that I can look at what changes actually code?

    Hello

    > Why this thread has been closed?
    I think that the admin closed this thread because, as indicated by the user lumix2day the MS update has solved this problem.

    The M400 was delivered with Win XP it's why the update should work with Windows XP!

    Regarding your question.
    Looks like you are using your own copy of Vista on the M400.
    You should check if Vista is already up to date. Each week the new MS updates are published.

    Additinally, I recommend updating the BIOS and check for a driver update more recent display!

  • Portege M400 and 3.60 BIOS

    Ubuntu Linux running on the M400 and it seems that almost all BIOS version 3.60 prerequisite are broken because there are errors of the quirk on the CPU APIC. Perhaps Microsoft could circumvent the APIC tables broken for awhile but things with Linux is a bit bulky. Microsoft asked to Toshiba for a BIOS update to address these issues and it seems to be fixed from 3.50.

    See here

    Even under Linux not more APIC errors appear. :-) But after the update from 3.60 BIOS splash screen remains active and keeps me to select an option for a boot (grub) multi entry. If the OS is already from the start screen become white first, then gives finally control the operating system. Others see this as well?

    I am able to select something in my Start menu, but it is more guess the start screen is always at the top. Very annoying it :-(

    Another issue I have is that sometimes the system freezes for a few seconds and then continues, nothing to see in the logs when you use a Tablet Ubuntu or Windows XP Home edition. So might be a bug in the BIOS once more. Yet once you are looking for confirmation, other know about this as well.

    Reflash 3.60 a couple of times, but seeing this behavior over and over again.

    Although it seems to be some control fan in 3.60. He does not like a DC9 aircraft, but were still not silent like the 1.80W or the 2.10N of BIOS versions. Nice to see these fan noise changes incorporated in 3.60 and later

    Hi Robert

    I know you hate me, but the fact is that Portege M400 has sticker next to the keyboard and it says something like designed for Microsoft. With short words: Linux OS is not supported.

    If you need help with Linux on Toshiba laptops please check http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/index.html

    Question about freezing is very strange and if you want to check properly install recovery without additional software image. In this case you will have factory settings and clean the preinstalled operating system. If you notice some outstanding questions, you must contact authorized service partner and clarify this point.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    Windows Update is a free way to help keep your PC safe and running smoothly. Windows Update do not affect the performance of the computer, this problem can be caused by a third-party application or corruption in the .net Framework as all updates are associated with .net Framework.

    Method 1:

    Try to install the updates in the clean boot state and check if that helps.

    I recommend you perform the clean boot.

    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    Note:

    After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  • Problems with windows update, run sfc/scannow and boot into safe mode. (Vista Home Premium)

    Hi all

    Please bear with me here that I try to explain all the questions I have with my computer right now. I'll try to explain everything that self-organization as possible, but if you need more information or file papers to provide a solution more precise, do it me know.

    To start, I use a HP Pavilion dv6000 series (dv6748us to be exact) with Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) installed. (Service pack 2). About 6 months ago I got this laptop from what I believe was the conflicker virus (kept forwarding pages, arrested updates and antivirus programs, etc.) and I managed to get Windows Update works again. My help and Support did not work well, it only worked in Mode without failure, so I did some research and tried a bunch of suggested corrections (update the registry, etc.) and got it work yet once again. I don't know if one of the tools that I used all by setting the Help & Support could have caused problems that I now (as I literally tried everything under the Sun until I got to work), but my Windows Update does not work properly again.

    A few weeks ago, I installed some updates and restarted the computer, but updates did not finish install on reboot. He said the usual "Configuring Updates, do not turn off your computer", but never showed percentage complete or whatever it is. It restarted, and when I open Windows Update, he said the last time I checked the updates has never been (obviously not true), and when I tried to check the updates, it jumped right to the message telling me I have to restart my computer to complete the installation of updates. She continues to do everytime I open Windows Update. From time to time, I try to restart it, just to see if it will work, and he never does.

    I spent hours trying all the solutions I could find in Google. I tried to run system update readiness tool, which seemed to run correctly (but does not solve the problem). I then tried the difficulty it for Windows Update, and it does not solve the problem. (It might be important for me to mention that I also have problems with the difficulty It Center itself, too. Individual tools like that for Windows Update is running, but the difficulty It Center program keeps giving me the error message that "a problem is preventing the troubleshooting tool to start.") I also tried to rename the pending.xml file, and then later I deleted it, after reading in another forum that you rename the file could cause system instabillity or something like that.

    Unfortunately, I can't use system restore to solve all my problems, because all my previous restore points have disappeared (I don't know if the virus wiped out them, or if the computer removed on its own) but restore points only I checked are those that have been created recently, during the time I had these problems.

    I tried running sfc/scannow nothing helped, as he continues to tell me that there is a pending repair, but repair pending never ends. I tried to use the command of /revertpendingactions of dism.exe/image:C\/cleanup-image in the command prompt of recovery center to stop it pending repairs, and that has not worked because it claims that dism.exe that does not exist / is not a valid command. No matter what I try, I can't have this pending repair or my updates to complete pending.

    I tried to boot mode safe several times as well and he hung up on crcdisk.sys when starting every time.

    Being that I can't use sfc/scannow, System Restore, or get into Safe Mode, I'm really lost as to what I should do next. I'm honestly not sure if the problems are related, but I just thought it would make sense to list them all in one place.

    Please note that I don't want to re - install Windows Vista, or don't I think I need, because the computer works very well for most. (I use it for typing this right now). I had much rather bring all the features on mine, which I believe can be achieved with the help of the right person.

    If someone could provide me with suggestions/solutions, it would be greatly appreciated! Certainly, it would relieve a lot of stress for me!

    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.

  • Portege M400 - CPU cooling problem

    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.
