• PS2 Keyboard (s) do not work then in the BIOS of 8148-22U. Can not set anything in the BIOS!

  Ref: ThinkCentre A50 8148-22U.

   

  PS2 Keyboard (s) only then work in BIOS, safe MODE, or RESTORE the DEFAULT settings. I can't configure anything in the BIOS, and I have no video after the start. The arrow keys, touch, touch ESC are all dead!

  I always try to get the video display is working again. He has only a "black screen" after starting up just after the Windows logo screen.

  Now, even though I see the BIOS shows, none of the keys on the keyboard works. Therefore, I can't change the video settings, get the system to restore everything back to the "default".

  I tried two different PS2-style keyboards. Neither one is recognized for some reason any.

  Is there a FLOPPY DISK UTILITY so that I can buy that could I want to boot from it, without going by whatever problems that prevent me from this computer to the factory settings reset?

  Please, is - can anyone answer this question?

  Thank you

• Cannot get rid of the BIOS password

  Bought an ACER Aspire E1 from an EBAY of ACER store about a year ago. A few weeks ago, I started it and quickly received a BIOS PASSWORD entry. Since that time, the laptop was absolutely worthless. I guess I tried the hardware, software, battery and all I could think of to fix the problem. I tried the MICROSOFT forums. ACER, ASK.COM Forums and forums Forums, forums, forrums and other forums that I could think of to try to resolve the unknown BIOS password. Thanks UEFI.

  I guess short of replacement of the EEPROM on the motherboard (don't think even that would help) which I'd be suspicious to do.

  Cannot get rid of the BIOS password.

  If I contact the ACER Support, they say that it's a hardware problem. I tried (as suggested by ACER support), bringing to STAPLES, BESTBUY, FRYS ELECTRONICS, OFFICE MAX, DATA DOCTORS, and several other 'Repair computer facilities' nothing works.

  IN a WORD, it's a PIECE OF a $400 trash...

  If anyone has any ideas on how to reslove this issue, send me an E-mail, fax, text. or post a reply...

  Thanks for letting me the WIND...

• Portege M400 - cannot navigate through the pages of BIOS

  Hello

  I bought a M400 Tablet system and having a lot of trouble with the BIOS.

  I am able to get into the BIOS, but it seems to be limited.
  It is said there are three pages, and to use the pgup and pgdn to edit pages, it does not work.

  I tried with a USB keyboard and remove the keyboard of the Tablet, but it does not work either.
  The laptop doesn't have a SWSetup installed on it. That I download from the Web site but say that the BIOS is incorrect.

  I decided to Flash the BIOS.
  Windows downloaded BIOS flash and say is that the BIOS is incorrect.

  I would like to reinstall the OS, but for the moment, I don't then so that it can boot from the CD that I can not change the boot sequence.

  Can someone help me please.

  Hello

  That s strange.
  First of all, you can boot from the CD by pressing F12 and then you could choose ODD as a boot device.

  Secondly it s interesting to know whether certain passwords (user or supervisor password) have been defined, because this kind of password could restrict by changing BIOS options.

• Portege M400 - cannot install Windows XP on the new HARD drive

  Hello here is my problem,

  I bought an older Portegre M400 E, without a HARD drive. So I buy a new Samsung 400 GB. I looked in the Bios (ACPI BIOS Version 3.40) and it is ok. He shows me the HARD drive with built in Assign LD - 0 status ONLINE, 400 GB size so it seems to be nice. Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0
  So, I want to boot from the Windows XP CD, not recovering my own.

  Windows open to the top and after a short period, the installation ends with the message that it is not any HARD drive. This I try sometimes :-( Hope someone can help me.
  Do not forget that I didn't have any HARD disk with the dates of the laptop.

  Thank you Carsten
  (Sorry my English is not so good Im from the Germany)

  Wilkommen!

  > Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0

  I don't know much about your model, but I think that something wrong with the raid in the Bios settings. What other options are available in the Bios for the State of the hard drive? I found the RAID driver on the Toshiba driver page. It is possible, that you can integrate in with a program called nlite Windows installation disc or install Windows as in compatibility mode, and install the Raid driver. then

• Portege M400 battery does not show the true situation

  I had a M400 for quite awhile. It was working fine when I got it. At that point, I was running Vista RC1. After Vista RTM was released I was however not very good battery life (40-50 minutes at 100% load).

  At first, I thought that the battery had gone back, but I have a few other batteries and an another Toshiba. When I brought a 100% charged battery showing nearly 4 hours of battery life on my M200, he showed 50minutes in my M400.

  I installed the latest version of the BIOS but no change. Is there any utility calibration of battery or other things I could try. One thing I noticed is that the fan is running most of the time at full speed.

  Hello

  Please don t compare the Portege M200 with M400. Battery life is not the same on different laptops!
  Additional there know that the battery performance are much weaker with Vista and laptop running Vista waste far more energy than the laptop even under XP.
  I noticed this unsatisfied State

• Cannot move anything in the browser - icons, tabs, etc.

  I've just upgraded to Firefox 12.0 and have found that I can't do anything to drag anywhere. At first, I thought it was a problem with the Menu Editor extension - I was trying to reposition a component menu, just after doing the upgrade to v11.0. In the Options window the Menu editor that can be done simply by dragging, but it did not work.

  I spent the time wrong with it until I realized that the other drag-type features do not work. In order to found:

  1. Cannot reorganize (drag / move) tabs.
  2. Cannot move the tab stop tab bar to open in another window.
  3. Cannot reorganize bookmarks and favicons on personal bar. Open the context menu of bookmarks toolbar and its commands work.
  4. Cannot move tabs to the bar Favorites or folder.
  5. [Window to customize open] cannot drag items to or from the window customize and cannot rearrange or move the Navigation bar or the bar Add on icons.

  There may be questions focused more on the trail, but they are the only ones I can think of and have found. I don't know if I'd known, on the top of my head, extension interfaces accommodate slide they would fail to work. Basically, nothing moves when I click on it with the cursor and try to drag. I don't get any feedback as circle with slash graphic.

  This may be a conflict extension but before I start to switch to many ad - ons that someone might know if this is a new feature setting, I don't know, that was the case before, when I updated.

  I've also seen a recent thread open when the person has a similar problem (but on a Mac - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/926256?s=can%27t+drag+and+drop & r = 11 & e = & did = s). I wonder if there are perhaps other elements of that this person also cannot move, but not has not yet discovered, and if this problem and mine is perhaps related.

  After following the instructions with the following...

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/safe%20Mode
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.RDF

  ... I determined that my theme or a corrupt localstore.rdf were the cause of my problems.

  Then begins the troubleshooting extensions (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes?redirectlocale=en-US & redirectslug = Troubleshooting + extensions + and + themes).

  Hardware acceleration has been eliminated as a cause as it has never been activated.

  It turns out that, like the Mac user in the thread I linked above, Torbutton has been the cause of the problem. I thought that it unlikely just because it seemed so not related to how the problem was evident.

  Torbutton was not invalid he's turned off in the browser, so I considered it "not active".

  This message was posted on the first page of the Torbutton website last spring: "now that the Tor Browser Bundle includes a patched Firefox version, and because we have not enough resources to deal with the Firefox version developer accelerated schedule, the Torbutton toggle model is not recommended. "Users should use Tor Browser Bundle, do not install Torbutton themselves."

  Their "Active Torbutton Tickets" page includes two of the problems I had like individual bugs, "Torbutton add-on interferes with the buttons on toolbar add-ons (including his own)" and «torbutton disables the ability to drag and save quick links»

  They go to a variety of reasons, they no longer support the key in this blog (https://blog.torproject.org/blog/toggle-or-not-toggle-end-torbutton). Mainly for security reasons, partly because they cannot deal with the hourly output FF and last because users are reporting more broken features and incompatibilities with each new version of FF.

• 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
