• Satellite Pro U400-11V: possible to increase the 60 Hz screen refresh rate

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-11v.
  I just realized that my screen refresh rate is 60 Hz (resolution 1280 x 800).
  Even I decrease the resolution. It won t be another option 60 Hertz.
  Is it possible to increase it?
  My monitor is indicated under the generic name of the PnP in the system.

  You cannot increase the internal laptop display refresh rate and it of not necessary to go higher, because all the internal laptop screens are running at 60 Hz.
  If you would like to connect an external monitor, you will probably see higher available for the external monitor refresh rates.

• Can Satellite Pro U400-13I - I reinstall the CD/DVD creation software?

  Hello

  Can someone help me with my problem.
  I have a Satellite Pro U400-13I and use XP he. As I experienced some problems with the creation of CD, I decided to uninstall and reinstall.
  However, I am unable to find the program to install only the software above without having to run the XP DVD recovery (which will format the entire HARD drive), I have a lot of data and some third party software that I do not want to miss, so is unable to format the drive HARD rightaway.

  Would appreciate a solution

  Thanks in advance

  What program you mean exactly for creating CD/DVD?

  If you mean the Toshiba disk creator I think it can t be downloaded. I checked from Toshiba Web site but I can't find it.
  But you can use another program to create CD/DVD, for example Nero or CD Burner XP (freeware).

  I hope I could help a bit.

• Satellite Pro U400-11V - Sharp noise when starting with connected screen

  Hello

  We received 5 x computers laptops Satellite Pro U400-11V, are excellent, with one exception:

  When you start (it happens on all of them) with a screen VGA monitor plugged in, a high beep is played from what looks like the speaker system. It occurs just before the first splash screen windows.

  Once the windows login screen is displayed a monitor can be connected to any problem & works very well.

  What can I check? I have had a look but do not find all the tracks so far, where this post.

  Thank you
  -A

  Perhaps you are meaning that the beep POST (Power on self test)?

  The laptop still sounds if the POST has been successfully passed.

  Parts of the motherboard will be verified during POST, and if everything is ok, a beep is displayed.

  If something would be a mistake, the laptop will not start and different beeps would appear.

• Satellite Pro U400 freezes sometimes when the power cord is plugged

  Hello! I know that this problem has been addressed here and there, but I'd like to open a new thread about it. Here's the scenario.

  I recently bought a new Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-247 (PSU45E) with two batteries: (a) the original, (b) in addition purchased authentic of Toshiba PA3636U-1BRL, 7200 mAh. The laptop has the latest BIOS (4.80) and the latest drivers downloaded from Toshiba and installed (ConfigFree is not installed). I use XP Pro SP3 (own installation by myself). Everything works fine, except for one thing:

  Sometimes (but), when the laptop is running on battery power and I plug in the power cord, everything hangs and I have to restart. A few observations:

  It tends to occur more frequently when the low battery alarm has rung;
  (b) it seems to happen more frequently with the 7200 mAh battery and less frequently with the original battery.
  (c) it seems to happen most often when a USB device (mouse, for example) has been linked to the laptop, but it is not a rule;
  (d) it seems to happen less often when I move the mouse USB at the time wherever I am connect the power cord.
  (e) I've experimented a lot with Toshiba PowerSaver settings (for example to change the levels of CPU for my profile) but nothing I changed seems to change the situation.
  (f) I tried different suggestions I found on various forums, but nothing works (for example the BIOS settings);
  (g) otherwise, I can say that I have not really seen a smoother computer, everything works really fine, no other problem :)

  Everything that makes me think it must be some sort of bug in the drivers of motherboard driver PowerSaver or other drivers interact with battery, CPU or possibly USB. Y at - it an explanation to this problem and can it be rectified in some way (for example, by providing a driver update)?

  Hello

  First of all, I never heard a driver from the motherboard.
  There is a drive chipset or a graphics card driver. There is no such thing as a driver of the motherboard!

  Look, man. laptop should work fine even the AC adapter is connected or not connected
  If the laptop freezes while there might be a software problem, but in my opinion it could be hardware problem
  You must reinstall the operating system if the laptop would freeze always the issue might be related to hardware

  First of all the memory modules and AC adapter must be verified.
  If the problem persists even using new modules and AC adapter, motherboard may be affected.

• Satellite Pro U300 - how to reinstall the system from original Vista operating?

  My Satellite U300 (bought in 2008) came with Vista and a fallback to option of XP pre-installed. I drove back to XP at the time. Now, end of support from Microsoft for XP, I would like to re - install the Vista operating system.
  I have the recovery disks, but there is a wizard to help the resettlement?

  Or is there a function to restore to original factory setting, which I guess would be Vista? (I backed up all my files where a clean install is required). Any help appreciated, thanks.

  I checked the specifications of the laptop and this laptop model was offered with Vista preinstalled and DVD recovery Windows XP Home edition. In General original recovery image can be installed with the recovery disk. You got laptop with Vista pre-installed (without the Vista recovery disk) allowing you to create the Vista recovery disk using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  There is also the option of HARD drive recovery, but it works with the factory only settings. After installing WXP that this HARD drive option will not work more then now you Vista recovery DVDs. Unfortunately in your ad I didn't understand whether or not you have the Vista recovery disk.

  If so, just start your laptop and press F12. When the boot menu appears put Vista recovery disc into the optical disc drive, has chosen the CD/DVD on the list in the menu and press ENTER. ODD will start to read the recovery disc and all what you need to do is follow the menu on the screen.

• Satellite Pro U400-11V - charges only battery when the computer is turned off

  Following a reformatting my hard drive of the computer, my laptop recognizes only the AC/DC power adapter when it is turned off. When the computer is turned on, it does not recognize the AC adapter.

  Changed the power supply ac and it made no difference.

  Have also tried an update of the BIOS (3.0), I am running Windows Vista 32 bit.

  Hello

  I doubt it has something to do with the software or the operating system. In my opinion, that this looks like a hardware problem, because the battery will be always charged if AC/DC adapter is plugged in. That's why it of not necessary to enable this setting in the configuration of the software.

  If your BIOS is already updated, contact an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and maybe the motherboard needs to be replaced.

• Re: Satellite Pro U400-11V - mass storage controller

  Whenever I turn on the camera, I get the message "New hardware" about "mass storage controller".

  How can I fix it?

  Research on driver downloads is not one for this name.

  It's strange. I mean when a certain piece of hardware is correctly installed, it is done with the installation.

  A question: did you install your own operating system or what? Is when the operating system is installed with the Toshiba recovery image, this message will not appear.

  MK3265GSX Toshiba 320 GB 2.5 "hard drive SATAII 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache - OEM

  Does it matter what company it comes? I thought I got it was weird that the Satellite U300 would not transfer more easily.

  If anyone has any ideas please let me know...

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Theoretically, you can install each HARD drive with SATA 2.5 form factor interface in Satellite Pro U400.

  If you install a new HARD drive in Satellite Pro U400, you must use the old disk cover/case HARD to install.
  I put t know what you mean exactly with that, but maybe you can upload a photo to make it clearer.

  Finally and above all it doesn t matter what company it comes. You can use a Toshiba or another company HARD disk too like Western Digital, Seagate, etc..

• Satellite Pro L40 - how to enable the WLan using ConfigFree

  Can you help me?

  My English is bad I do not end.

  The question is:
  My computer is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 and I use the ConfigFree for the wireless, but it seems that the WiFi network is disabled.

  Help please!
  I want to know what's wrong

  Thank you!!

  Hello!

  Your wireless network card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager, or you may notice a yellow exclamation?
  Her check first because otherwise, you can get the WLAN to work.

  In addition, you can activate WLAN with the material on the laptop switch which must be set on and the FN + F8 key combination.
  Check it!

  After this Free Config should find your WLAN router if you are in the range of that.

  Good bye
