• Satellite Pro A300 freezes when on the internet

  Satellite Pro A300 freezes when on the internet & the only way to turn it off is to take out the battery. Bought new Dec 2010 & is under warranty - suggestions?

  Hello

  have you tried to update drivers Lan (wlan)? What browser do you use? I guess, the Internet explorer, try firefox or opera. Also, your computer may be infected with the virus, or blocked by the firewall. Have you installed software before it starts? Is this ok when you bought it? I ask you too, because you do not have a lot of information.
  It is especially the driver, software problem.

• 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 S500 - Freezed at Toshiba leading innovation frontpage

  Hello

  My new Satellite Pro S500, age: 2 hours have just made the 'start-up' and installed all the drivers. My first step was to spend + updated windows + and update various security patches, etc. Windows identified 74 updates - and let the laptop do the download. He installed about 15% and restarted automatically. The laptop started upwards, installed about 30% and restarted.

  Now, the laptop has * freezed * on the first page of "Toshiba - Leading Innovation". If I try to power off the laptop computer he turns to fashion - watch and go back to the page of "Toshiba" once again.

  Any ideas of how out of this loop?

  Thanks in advance

  Then install the battery and plug in the AC adapter and try restarting your laptop. T he past the BIOS Toshiba screen now?

• 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.

• 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.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
  And what operating system are you using? Have you installed all Windows updates?

  For external LCD, monitors, you must set the screen refresh rate of 60 Hz.
  And if you want to change the resolution of the screen, you must select the second monitor in the graphics options on Windows.

• 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 U400-11V: 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.

• The update of the BIOS on Satellite Pro U400?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 (PSU41E) running Windows 7 x 64 and I try to update the BIOS to version 4.70 to 4.00.

  Whenever I try to do it from Windows using WinPhlash which comes with the download on the Toshiba site it seems to freeze when you try to Flash the new BIOS.
  I connected as the local administrator, tried to use other programs flash and even tried to do from a USB flash drive with no luck.

  Can someone please help me and explain how do I update the BIOS?

  Hello

  > tried to use other flash programs
  Never use other flash programs! In the worst case, you could damage the ROM module and then it must be replaced. Use only the program flash Toshiba that is tested and designed for laptop and the version of the BIOS.

  The update of the BIOS program is also designed for Windows, it s a Windows Update program.

  Satellite Pro U400 wasn t comes with Windows 7 so I guess you did your own installation. Value added package is required for the update of the BIOS program and can be downloaded on the European driver of Toshiba download page where is your laptop model:

• 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

  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:

• External monitor flickers always on Satellite Pro U400 - 13G

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro U400 - 13G that connects external monitors with VGA port.

  I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit with the latest graphics drivers from intel, I also tried the drivers from the Toshiba download site.

  Anyway... I tried 3 different external screens to connect a LG with resolution 1280 x 1024, an acer projector with resolution 1024 x 768 and a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW running 1680 x 1050.

  All these monitors simply sparkles... a higher resolution = more flicker. It seems to be worse with gray background.

  I tried the system Windows 7 RC1, same problem.

  When I unplug my diet, Twinkle seems to be... a little reduced, there is still a lot of flicker.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

• Satellite Pro U400 - sound of the wheel does not work anymore

  The wheel of sound control in my Satellite Pro U400 works not properly since last month.

  Now, I have to use the volume bar in Vista to adjust properly. When I try to lower the volume by turning the wheel, as I did before, he constantly increases the volume after reducing to a few percent. If I flip it is very very slow, sometimes it decreases the volume a little, but other times it increases. Also when I'm in a word processor, turn the wheel to the right input 'c' character ' on the screen.
  There is no problem when I try to increase the volume, it does its job.

  Do you think it is related to hardware or can it be a problem of driver or something. Is there a solution?

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro U400-12y: how to use HDD recovery after the new installation of the OS

  Dear Sir

  I have the Satellite Pro U400-12y and give tem my friend use it when he gets back, the laptops it do format c: and reinstalled new windows.
  I try to do the recovery only by pressing f8 without answering.

  How can I recover my laptop to its state of origin as drive HARD recovery again in d:
  Thanks in adv

  Hello

  You will not be able to restore the factory settings because another operating system has been installed on the first partition.
  Usually by pressing F8 immediately after the laptop has been powered should allow the advanced on-screen menu. Here, you should choose option called repair my computer and Toshiba Recovery HARD drive.

  But if this doesn t work then you will not be able to use HARD drive recovery.
  In this case, you will need to order the new CD from here:
