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

Sean

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:
http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

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

  • Satellite Pro U400 and fingerprint software problem

    Hello!
    Since a long time, my Fingerprint Software gave problems.
    About 2 days after receipt of the computer, I started to get an error message saying "Specified Database not found" or "Hardware not found footprints" (something similar to messages!)

    Because then I never really used it, but now, since the last update "Authentec", I thought that it can start working.
    The problem is, once I installed the update, I get an error saying "Remove old version, given to zero computer.
    So I did it, I removed the old TrueSuite Access Manager and restarted the computer.

    Once restarted, the Autentec Installer (new updated) started to install, but give me again the same error message 'remove old version, given to zero computer.

    I checked for the remains of the old software, but he found nothing.

    I won't be formatting my computer to do this, is there another way I can fix this?
    Thank you

    Hello

    I think the update found garbage in the registry and I think that after the Truesuite software has been removed, you must clean the operating system using the CCLeaner.
    After cleaning the operating system and the registry, you must restart the laptop before you repeat the update procedure.

    Maybe you should also install a newer version of Toshiba page before starting the update.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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:

  • 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.

    I have a belkin N1 Wireless cable router...

    Can someone tell me what is the problem?

    This was one of the main reasons why I bought this laptop.

    You have reason seems the wireless network adapter supports the Draft N
    But are you sure that you are using Draft N?

  • Satellite Pro U400-130 - restarts after shutdown down

    Hello

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-130. The operating system is Windows Vista 32 bit.

    I have a problem when I try to quit the Menu Start-Shut Down laptop. The system will reboot after that. Then if I select closes without connecting to my account, it really stops.

    Please, could you help me with this?

    It's a little confusing because you said if I select shut down without logging in to my account, it really stops.
    Say you stop without connection?

    However, I think you make a mistake.
    Make sure you have all the Service Packs and hotfixes installed for Vista.

    Maybe the button closure is misconfigured. The default action is sleep. To verify this action. Open a command prompt and enter
    Powercfg.cpl, 1
    There you can change the action of power button in the start menu.

  • New Satellite Pro U400-12y is very slow

    Just bought Satellite Pro U400-12y with Vista Business pre-installed (1 GB preinstalled memory).
    However, the startup is very slow and actually the computer seems to work in a time warp.

    Any ideas? Is there a fundamental problem?

    Yes, I have an idea.

    I think that the high amount of background processes affect the performance of laptops.
    He should know that the U400 supports many different features and these features are controlled by different applications.

    If you want you can start the msconfig and disable some unnecessary and unimportant process. Take a look in the Startup tab.

    In addition, I recommend to disable and remove the preinstalled software called Tempro.

    I did it on my system, and now it runs much faster

  • Satellite Pro U400 - TrueSuite Manager setup.exe has stopped working

    I have a Satellite Pro U400 running Vista Business (OEM) and at the start of a desktop computer TrueSuite Manager pop-up message appears telling me there is an update to install.

    When I try to install the update, I get a window that says Setup.exe does not work.

    Signature of the problem of the relationship an APPCRASH-is30C0.exe with the exception C0000005 code.

    I tried to uninstall the TrueSuite Manager through Windows uninstaller programs, but get the same message - setup.exe has stopped working.

    Appreciate advice on how to solve this problem.

    Hello

    I think that it is a simple case of corrupted registry entries and files that could belong to the TrueSuite Manager software.

    I agree with the previous user, and I recommend to reinstall this software again.
    You may need to clean the OS before installing the Truesuite again.
    In this case, I recommend the CCLenaer. It s a simple and free tool and can be downloaded on most Web sites.

    Google and you should find more information.

    See you soon

    First remove the old webcam software.
    Then clean the operating system using the CCLeaner
    Then update the Vista of the State (you must restart the operating system several times)
    Then, download the new webcam software, unzip it and reinstall it.
