• Satellite Pro U400-130 begin to operate automatically in internet

  My Toshiba U400-130 appears to have a clean mind - if I go on a website, Ebay for example and start working through the sales process, with no outside assistance from me, the computer will return to the previous web page and maybe come back another web page to the original signature on the page. Frequently, by pressing the next button, I can get back to where I left off but not always - what can be the cause?

  I don't think I have a virus that I run Zone Alarm and Force field and you will have to be Houdini to get into the system.
  Please don't look on that as a challenge and every crook out to Christianity is now trying to access my machine!

  Hello

  This strange s sound a little magic
  It s good idea to use additional security tools and firewalls like Zone Alarm, but it is still a rest of risk that your system could be attacked by a virus, Trojan or similar malware

  In your case, I would recommend to recover the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc. This recovery disk will format the whole HARD disk and install the whole system again.
  I think that the format of HARD drive is necessary and important to be 100% sure that the malware has been removed.

• 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 - 150 - display has stopped working

  Hello guys,.

  yesterday I used to turn on my laptop (Satellite Pro U400 - 14) and it worked fine but after 1 minute my screen stopped working. I tried to restart the PC, and it worked OK again. But I turn on my laptop today and it didn t work at all. Everything is OK, PC works fine, everything is good, but only the display is black.

  I Don t know what happened with my laptop. :/

  Is there anyone who knows the answer to this problem?

  Thanks for all your answers.

  > Everything is OK, PC works fine, everything is good, but only the display is black.
  Of course, this isn't all right if nothing appears on the screen

  Connect an external monitor to check if you would be able to see something on the screen?
  Do this! Usually you should use the FN + F5 to alternate between the monitor internal and external.
  If this is not possible and nothing could be seen on the 2nd monitor, the graphics card problem can cause this.

  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

• Satellite Pro U400 - BIOS update gone bad

  Hi all!

  I've updated the BIOS on my laptop and something was wrong, just not now a computer screen.

  I went to see the Web for Chris Bios recover.
  Have over 20 versions, but so far without success.

  My biggest problem is: I can't save on floppy disk 2 MB BIOS. All attempts to create a
  Flash or SD ended in failure.

  The laptop is: Satellite pro U400 PSU45E

  Please help me... the laptop reads the floppy in BIOS with little experience (the ones that come with Chris Bios 500Ko - 1000 KB) begins with a normal boot beep signals supposedly provided a definition blocks then baar times short beep and nothing to do...
  There must be something... BIOS BACK small size, emulator USB... BIOS to be torn down, so it is possible in charge from USB, SD...

  Every idea can be useful!

  Thank you very much

  Excuse my English

  f the subject isn't here, please redirect mderatora
  This is my 1 post here

  Hi mate

  Unfortunately if something was wrong during the update of the BIOS, then you won't be able to solve this problem without the help of a technician of the ASP

  I hope that the ROM BIOS module is not too bad
  In the worst case that the mobo is damage but maybe it s not damaged

  However. You must contact a local ASP and must ask for the manipulation of the Fryer!

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro U400: How to remove folder HDD Recovery Vista running Win 8

  Hello!

  I have updated my Windows Vista to Windows 8 via the Microsoft upgrade offer. Toshiba does not support the upgrade of the Satellite PRO U400 of Win8, but it works so far, only a few features are missing...

  In this HARD drive recovery process, Vista folder remained on my partition E: (containing about 5 GB of files dated 2008...).

  I HAVE (even 2 sets of) recovery DVD for Vista.
  The infrastructure of original HDDRecory for Vista on the laptop ran defective, already long ago for some reason any.

  There is therefore no reason to keep the old HDD Recory on E: folder.
  It is completely unnecessary and I would like to remove this folder without formatting E:.
  However, although I work with admin rights, this is strictly rejected by the system of Windows 8.

  Is there any idea how to get the access rights to delete the HDDRecory folder?

  Best regards and thanks for the help!
  Gernot

  So far I didn't test these actions, but if you have administrative rights, maybe it's possible to delete certain partition and without changing the ability to create a new.
  Try to do this, use the option of disk management in computer management.

  Of course before trying to do this backup all other important data stored on that partition.

  Please let me know if it will work.

• Satellite Pro U400-130 - hard drive Partition - help

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-130 mobile - cell PSU45E-005005EN

  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo (T8400) 2.26 GHz, the front side Bus speed: 1066 MHz, level 2: 3 MB Cache
  3072 MB (1024 + 2048 MB) DDR2 RAM
  250 GB hard drive
  Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition

  What I've found, is that the hard drive is partitioned into two separate drives

  1. the drive C - 117 GB - hand player - all programs, user accounts and files of work / are saved on the C drive.
  2 drive E - 113 GB - A folder titled HDDRecovery (size 4.42 GB) nothing elese is on the E drive.
  3. This only totals to 230 GB, then where is the other 20 GB?

  I want to know/how is is:

  1. Why are we doing this way?
  2. What is the purpose of the file recovery Drive E and it does not require the space of 113 GB?

  3. If I increase the size of drive C to say 55GO and decrease the size of drive E?
  3.1 is it possible?
  3.2 what impact will?

  4. the drives C and E only total 230 GB so where is the other 20 GB?

  Can someone please help

  Thank you very much

  (1) the HARD disk is partitioned into 3 partitions and not 2! Go to the disk management utility and you will see that there is a hidden partition. This hidden partition is created by Vista. It contains the necessary backup files that are needed for the repair of the system, if something goes wrong with your operating system.

  (2) the second partition contains the record of recovery of HARD drive that allows you to retrieve the laptop without using recovery discs. But of course, you are able to create a recovery disk and it s highly recommended to create a recovery disk using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  3.1 I think that this could be possible, but before that you'd change any partition size I recommend the creation of the recovery disk because there is a high risk that after changing the size of partitions you drive HARD recovery option does not work.

  3.2) see point 3.1

  4.) I think the other hidden partition using this 20 GB. Also please note that 250GB are not really 250 GB 1 GB is not 1000MB but 1024MB.
  This means that the 250 GB HARD drive is not 250 000 MB but 238 418 MB

  There you will find all the compatible options.

  AFAIK this battery could be compatible with the Satellite Pro U400 series:

• System clock is constantly inaccurate - Satellite Pro U400

  Salaam :-)

  My laptop computer system clock is constantly inaccurate. I have windows 7 on h-Satellite Pro U400 - 13. Whenever I have look at the clock on the taskbar left I see it well before the correct time. I have this laptop for about 18 months, it points to a dead battery, leading to a CMOS failure?

  Selam aleykum,

  Your laptop is still new and the cmos battery should not be dead. I recommend:

  1 leave the laptop charge 48 hours the full cmos battery.
  2. If your system has an always on broadband connection, you can automate the process by changing the interval between updates.
  Open the registry editor by choosing Start-> Run-> Regedit
  Find the key to register HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\
  Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient
  Select the entry for SpecialPollInterval, and change the decimal value to a time you want to use. The data value is in seconds, so, for example, 172800 value will change the synchronization for 2 days interval, a value of 86400 to happen in 1 day or a value of 3600 will change in an hour.
  Exit the registry editor and make sure sync automatically checked for your system clock settings. (Make sure you use Apply when you ve times your changes to the area to set the system clock time, so the change is permanent.)

  http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/8924/registrytwaek.jpg

  I placed my printscreen registry where enter 3600 (this means that each time your system clock will synchronize with the time server, but you always connected to the Internet)

• Satellite Pro U400 - can I boot from a USB?

  I am wanting to partition the disk and I don't have a blank CD at hand...

  Surprised to discover, there is no option the BIOS to boot from devices USB 2.40.

  Please can someone confirm for me that this is not possible?

  Thank you.

  L.

  Yes, you can boot from USB FDD, primary HARD disk, optical device and network (LAN)
  Unfortunately, the USB is not supported ;(

  But if you want to create a new partition on the HARD drive you don't need to boot from a USB n.
  Are you using the Vista on your Satellite Pro U400?

  If so, you can use the Vista Disk Manager to create a new partition.
  To reduce the first partition first and then you can create a new partition using a new space on the HARD drive.

• Dynadock and Satellite Pro U400-135 - external monitor question

  Hello.
  We have a serious problem on the 26 dynadock vga e Satellite Pro U400-135 unit

  The problem is:
  If set to host as a single external monitor during startup frequent windows loses resolution external monitor.

  Example of resolution monitor post seting like 1280 x 1024, start with connected dyndaock, frequent resolution 1280 x 800 not correct and external monitor image not correct.

  Operating system is Vista 32 bit, driver dynadock is 2.3 update and dynadock displaylink displaylink site 4.6.16208 site.
  Same problem with Windows Xp 32 bit.

  How can I solve the problem?

  Hello

  If I understand the first message, external monitor resolution automatically goes to 1280 x 800 even if you set it to 1280 x 1024.
  I guess that your external monitor is connected to the dynadock.
  Is this good?

  AFAIK, you can customize the video settings of the dynodock.
  It provides a video output in two modes: Mode and extended Mode of mirror.

  Mirror mode creates an identical display of your computer to the external monitor screen. In mirror Mode, the dynadock automatically selects the settings (screen resolution, color quality and discount rates) for the external monitor that will allow the best resolution based on your computer's settings.

  Maybe you use the mirror mode and therefore the dynadock the resolution automatically because it of the best for the external monitor.

  I recommend checking the Dynadock manual for more details.
  There are two modes are described there.

• 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!

  Hello

  > I have about 10 discs Downgrade XP each almost identical search and each, I presume, 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
  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 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.

• 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:
