• 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.

• Satellite Pro U400-11V - Installation using the floppy from XP downgrade

  Hello

  Yesterday I had to replace my HARD drive once it is simply dead.
  I didn't know it was a big deal that I had lost any data.
  I would just like to re - install Windows XP using the Downgrade XP disk came with the laptop.

  It turns out that: I have about 10 discs Downgrade XP each almost identical looking and everyone, I assume, associated with a particular Toshiba laptop my company bought at some point.
  Now, I have no idea what drive is the one that came with my Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-11V.

  What I did:
  -We selected at random.
  -Installed Win Xp Pro.
  -Tried to activate Windows.
  -It indicates that the product key is bad (and some drivers are missing, so it is obviously not the disc that came with the laptop, but he got me so far).
  -Correct the product key according to the key that is located on a sticker at the bottom on the laptop *.
  * On the sticker, this key is an OEMAct Windows Vista Business key, the OS of the laptop came with.
  -L'activation of Windows will not accept the key to the sticker.

  So I have 2 questions:
  1. is there another method of re - install Windows XP Pro using the * original * Downgrade XP disk that came with?
  2 (leading to #1) is it possible to identify which drive is the one shipped with my laptop? Perhaps by checking some serial numbers on the disc?

  Worst case scenario I'll have to make (at most) 10 Windows installs until one works.
  But I was really hoping some help & advice.

  I can't wait to hear all the answers,
  Thank you!

  Your ad is really funny :D

  I put t know how your Win XP drive looks like. My laptop came with the recovery disk and it was mentioned on the label that it's Toshiba recovery disc.

  In addition he s already enabled so I put t need to activate the operating system by using this key.
  Also, the key at the bottom of the unit belongs to the preinstalled operating system and it will NOT work with the new Win XP or another operating system.

  But back to your Win XP disks
  I recommend that you check the single disc... maybe a disc is already activated

• 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.

• Satellite Pro U400 - stop and then it starts automatically

  Hello
  I have a new (arrived today... I just installed the OS-_-"') Toshiba Satellite U400 running on Vista Business and he refuses to close down, it will turn off, but a few seconds later automatically restarts.

  I tried to reinstall vista, updated the BIOS, but do not change the problem...

  Hello

  > the problem only when the LAN cable is attached.
  If that's the case I recommend you to reinstall the LAN driver. You can download the latest version on the Toshiba site.

  If you already have a BIOS update and a new installation of Windows. Have you used the Toshiba Recovery disk?

  If so, I think in the worst case there s a hardware problem :(

• 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.

• Satellite Pro U400-18 s faulty motherboard

  My friend Satellite Pro U400-18 s will not start.
  Pass the initial Toshiba screen, I had to check it out for the PC tech guy, and they could not get pass this screen as well. However, they confirmed that the hard drive has been authorized. They suggest that the motherboard is broken?
  Can anyone help? And where can I get a replacement from? I have no recovery disks, like most of the GUY's, I have not read the instructions.

  Any help would be really appreciated

  Who are these guys from tech PC? Maybe Toshiba service provider?

  To get the new motherboard will be problematic, so I recommend you contact the nearest authorized Toshiba and ask for help. They can order the new Board of Directors for you.

• Satellite Pro U400-247 - noise static when the AC adapter is plugged

  Hello

  I got by Satellite Pro U400-247 and you have a problem with the sound.

  Everytime I plugg in adapter (external power supply) there is a kind of droning noise static noise when I use the audio out (headphones).

  Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

  Thank you
  Marcus

  Hello

  I guess that's not happed running the laptop on battery only. Right?

  I think that this issue is released to a grounding problem.
  I read different forums on this kind of question it.
  Usually use the 3 cord power cable should help get rid you of this noise.

  In your case I would recommend asking for cord 3 power cable (maybe you need another adapter that supports the 3-wire power cord) to a Toshiba authorized maintainer.

• Satellite Pro U400-13 a - starting problems

  I have a Satellite Pro U400 13A running Windows XP Pro and have startup problems.

  The computer was working well until that last Wednesday when I modified the settings of advanced management power in how he reacted to the closing of the lid [hibernate] or pressing the power [on hold] button. Then, I closed the lid that I had to leave in a hurry.

  About 2 hours later, I opened the lid to take what I was doing and to a complete stop, but I got a partial summary leading to a bluescreen with the logo "XP" just to the right of Center and no home screen or directly in the Windows desktop as expected. Then, the computer does nothing.

  Pressing ALT + DEL shows that both operations are underway - "Windows logon" and "Connection", but the selection does nothing.
  I left the computer up to 6 hours, in the hope that it was a lengthy process that prevented it go further but still the same blue screen rest.

  I forced a shutdown by pressing the power and then restarted in the start menu [Safe Mode etc.].
  According to the boot option I then select [I tried all the] bothers me on the same position that I started with - blue screen with "XP" logo.

  I don't have a recovery disk, nor do the recovery option of disk in the advanced boot menu. I am at a loss.
  I sent the problem to technical support Toshiba but no response.

  What are my options?

  Thank you

  > I don't have a recovery disk, nor do the recovery option of disk in the advanced boot menu. I am at a loss. I sent the problem to technical support Toshiba but no response.

  Seems you have to reinstall new OS.
  If you don t have disks or functional HARD drive recovery option, then I would recommend ordering the disc from here:

  Then you can reinstall the OS in order to get the workbook

• Re: Satellite Pro U400 - Windows could not start, how to recover?

  I hope this is the right forum to display this property (if not, please let me know where I should post this) and nude w / a beginner like me. Any help or direction will be appreciated.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-160 is more than a year. I have not used a lot lately, because I usually use my netbook computer for day to day stuff, but the Toshiba contains some files I want to see lost. That's the message that came when I turned on my laptop for the last time:

  "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
  To solve the problem:
  1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
  2. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  3. click on "repair your computer".

  If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance

  Info: An error occurred trying to read the boot configuration data. "

  Usually, I store all my software as a whole but I recently changed from home and for the life of me, I can't find the Toshiba recovery system disk. Even if I did, however, which would mean losing all files on my computer?
  My question is, is there a way to fix this without losing all data? Should I first try to save the data somehow and then solve the problem? And finally, how to solve this problem with/without the recovery CD?

  Thanks in advance. Any help will be MUCH appreciated.
  PS. This look is like a virus? What is a windows update that has corrupted some files?

  Hi monstarika,

  You can access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and boot into safe mode?
  If so try also to start the recovery of HARD drive if you choose fix my computer. If the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba is still installed, you can use this feature.

  If this work of t doesn't and you don t have the recovery disc, you can order directly in an enw one of Toshiba. That s no problem because you can order it online here:

  Oh I forgot to tell my computer toshiba laptop satellite pro u400
  It came with windows vista preinstalled

  Hello

  I think it is just a software problem (Boot Manager).
  Try to repair the operating system by using HARD disk recovery;
  Press F8 why portable power.
  Then choose fix my computer, then choose disk HARD recovery.

  If this is not possible, order the disk recovery from here:
  http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  Then, you will be able to reinstall the OS using the recovery disk

• Re: Satellite Pro U400-160 - freezes when copying larger files or videos

  Hello:

  I have a Satellite Pro U400-160 and a VERBATIM external hard drive USB eSATA combo.

  If I turn on AHCI mode recognizes the drive, but when copying the video files or large file size, the system is frozen. However if I remove the mode AHCI works correctly. I have the version 9.8.9.1023 Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager and my laptop BIOS v4.0 and Windows Vista Business.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Normally the AHCI mode has nothing to do with an external HARD drive. It is only important for the internal HARD disk if you install Windows.

  Anyway, you have installed all the updates of Windows for Vista?
  In addition, you should test another external HARD disk or with another cable.

• Satellite Pro U400 starts and overheating problems

  Hello

  6 weeks ago, I bought a Satellite Pro U400. Shortly after that I bought, I noticed that the computer overheating. After 1 hour of use, it becomes very hot in the touchpad area, as well in the base of the computer and on the touchpad itself. It is very annoying because I almost burn my fingers with the touch pad.

  The problems began 10 days ago. I had been using the laptop for an hour when it suddenly turned off without notice. Power outage? I don't know Don t. I looked like a sytem of overheating protection. My previous laptop had the same problem. After a few minutes, I was able to turn it back on.

  Then it happened again a few days ago, but it took me 5 minutes to turn on. Yesterday, it happened again, and after 45 minutes without response, I went to bed. In the morning, I was able to turn it on.

  This also happens when wifi is disabled, it is not only a problem with the wifi card, overheating of the system.

  Am I the only one having this problem? I will try to send it back to Toshiba for a replacement or a refund.

  Is this normal in a really new machine?

  Thank you

  First, the warming of the touchpad is normal for almost every laptop, due to construction. Under this, there are the HARD drive and it produces heat. With my last books, and it was not bad, too.
  But really to get so hot?

  Due to the protection against overheating, it is normal that you cannot turn on your laptop immediately.
  But the wireless card is not the device in question, because it's a very small piece of hardware and produce little heat.

  You said, you had this problem with your notebook previous too. Let me ask you, when you use your notebooks? What your table surface there or is there no matter what on that table cloth?

  What I can tell you right now is, to check your locations of fantilation for all dust or maybe you have objects near it so that hot air can not cool.

• 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.
