Satellite U400-10 was supports the HDD Protection probe

All of the documentation I've read on Satellite U400-10 model has (PSU40E-00K006DU) indicates that it has a HARD drive protection sensor installed.

I can't find this sensor listed anywhere in the Device Manager, and when I install the Toshiba HDD Protection utility it tells me that there is no sensor.

Someone has this model with the sensor HARD drive Protection?
If so, how say you?

Kind regards

Hello

As far as I know the Toshiba HDD Protection Utility V2.0.2.3 (for Vista) was pre-installed on the U400 series, so in my opinion, the sensor is available.

    And I tried to install HDD protection Utility but the installer returned an error like 'cannot be installed on this model.

    > After installing all the drivers and software of Toshiba by order, the button to turn on the power switch lights does not work.
    Please check the BIOS settings. As I m not wrong not it takes an option called LED illumination or something like that. There you can turn on and off.
    Also, try to customize the special button of TOSHIBA using the Toshiba control utility.
    There are also some useful options.
    But to be honest I n not know exactly if this button doesn't work with Win XP. Maybe this feature is not available in XP.

    > I tried to install HDD protection Utility but the installer returned an error like 'cannot be installed on this model.
    This error message appears if you try to install a tool that was not designed for this series of laptop.
    The U400-12F seems to belong to the PSU40E. Check if it s a good tool.

  • Satellite U400 - how to remove the HARD drive password?

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite U400-PSU40E. I put the HARD drive password to test this optoins in BIOS. It woks fine. After that, I remove the HDD password, but when BONES start to start the fist show me black sreen with password and when push enter Os start at startup.

    How to remove this black screen (password disk HARD is clear) before you set a password it is not this black screen?

    Hi iliyan_84,

    You only set the HARD drive password or another password too?
    Normally the HARD drive password can be removed in the BIOS. Therefore, to set a new password and don't enter all the keys. Just press the Enter key to leave the new password disk HARD vacuum box.

    Try to also load default settings in the BIOS and if it doesn't work, you must update the BIOS. You can find the latest version on the official website of Toshiba.

  • Satellite U400: How to set the BIOS password & learn how to use facial recognition

    I have a Satellite U400 Satellite.

    Can someone direct me to a link of support for the implementation in passwords in BIOS?

    There are several options and I don't know what does what...
    Thanks for your help...

    Another point:

    I feel that the definition of a password or both in the BIOS will help the face recognition program to work, for some reason any.
    I NEVER managed to properly configure that, although I tried several times,
    go in accordance with the instructions.

    A lot of frustration and time, I would say.
    This is for safety.

    > Can someone direct me to a link of support for the implementation in passwords in BIOS?
    If you want to set the password in the BIOS you will need to access the BIOS by pressing the F2 key immediately after that the laptop has been powered.

    There is a 3rd tab security.
    There you can set the BIOS password. You would need to put everything first and then you must confirm the password once more to

  • Satellite U400-15B hangs on the Internet and make multimedia keys touch

    Hi all

    Had two problems with my U400-15B which I hope to solve.

    (1) the first problem is that I noticed that my internet sometimes seems to weigh on Internet Explorer, when using the Web site who have a couple of images e.t.c.
    It freezes but the rest of the laptop works very well - I want to say you can go to the start menu and other programs very well. However, if you open Microsoft Word, while this is the case, it will take a little more time to load than normal upward. Anyone know what this might be or how I can fix this problem?

    I use Vista Home Premium 32-bit and the laptop has 4 GB of RAM / thus, Intel Centrino 2 P7350 - is powerful enough.

    (2) the second problem is that when I press the 'sound' button, the white lights and the white bar above the touchpad become informed. When I press on it again once the lights come back but he is not mute. Only when the laptop is put in standby mode and then woke up once again, the key work properly. All the others work fine. Does anyone know what is the cause?

    I exchanged this laptop 3 times now and each of them did question (2), but surely this isn't normal.

    Any help or advice to address these problems are very much appreciated.

    Thank you

    (1) have you tested a different internet browser? For example, Firefox.
    I use Firefox for years and never had any problems with it. I like Firefox over Internet Explorer, it s faster and you will get a lot of modules useful for her ScrapBook.

    (2) have tried to update the BIOS? Look on the Toshiba site to find a newer version:

    This bad s Companion
    It was the worst case that could appear wile BIOS update.

    There is not a lot of things you could try
    In your case the ASP must be contacted in order to check the machine and the module ROM where the BIOS is stored

    If you're lucky, while the ROM module must be flashed again and the laptop should start again if the worst cases the motherboard must be replaced.

  • Satellite U400 - 10L: problem with the start-up & reboot

    Hello

    Well I don't like much about the touchpad overheating but I have a problem. When I restart this mobo instead of activate after a reboot it stays black without any reaction only lower diods, dvd - rom and the display flashes (can't hear fan or hard drive).

    If I press the power button / stop all the icons of diod (ac, pwr, hdd bat) shine up just for a second and new (can't hear the fan hard drive or cpu) computer does not turn on. All this happened only when AC cable is connected to the power if I use just notebook power source battery boots and restart without problems.

    If I remove battery completely from the laptop, once more, I get the same symptoms (cannot start). And the saddest part of this story is the fact that I got brand new Toshiba U400 10 L to the seller and got a new.
    It has the exact same problem.
    As you all probably understand im crazy because in the last two days, I tried really everything, including the BIOS without flashing and the success.

    Well im not sure whats going on, but this could be the problem with the battery or a bad contact?
    Any ideas?
    I would return it back?

    Thanks much for the reply

    Hello

    The behavior of your laptop is really strange and I suppose it might be bound only to a hardware problem.

    A friend of mine couldn't t start the laptop connected to the AC adapter the power adapter is faulty. It was only possible to start Notepad using the battery, and only if the battery was not completely empty.

    I put t know if your AC adapter failures but the authorized service provider should definitely check out the laptop and accessory for laptop (AC adapter).

    Then call the ASP in your country and ask the technicians for later handling.

    You have DHCP or a static IP address? If you have DHCP make you you get the DNS server address automatically.
    If you have a static IP address, you must change the DNS address.

  • Re: Satellite U400 - failed to start the system recovery

    I have a Satellite U400-PSU44E and Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit preinstalled and having some problems with my computer, had decided to use the hidden partition on the hard drive to fix the system.
    I chose 'Repair your computer' (or something similar to this), but having done, a message tells me that,

    "The installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer. »

    I don't know why that is. Can anyone help? It would be greatly appreciated.

    The Partition Recovery seems to be defective. You can order the replacement of Toshiba recovery disks. Which country are you?

    Another possibility could be that the HARD drive has failed. in this case, you will need to send the system to an ASP for repair.

  • Satellite U400 - failed to create the recovery disk - bad DVD player?

    Hi all

    I have a 13 inch Satellite U400.
    Due to problems with my Softkeys, lighting and hibernation status (any help on thos would also be useful) I want to create a recovery DVDs with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    The thing is: it starts when I have a CD in the DVD drive, but as soon as I put a DVD in (what is needed), it gives me an errormessage that said something like 'another application is using this drive or no disc recording where found in the laptop. 0D00E4-F0-00000000 error code).

    My DVD player does not work properly, I can play movies and the drivers and the status is ok too.
    I noticed, that error code changes, but I don't know how to get the recovery disk creator will.

    What can I do? Change something in the registry?
    I don't know what happened on my laptop, I bought a few months ago - new. I guess that, reset everything would bring my softkeys, lighting and hibernation status back.

    So, if someone nows how to work at least one of the problems, please give me advice.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    Did you create virtual CD/DVD drives with special software? If so, remove the software completely. In addition, if you have installed burning, programs, you should check if they will be started when Windows starts and if so, disable the beginning upward. So go to start > run > msconfig > start. Here, you can disable the start of burning software (for example Nero, CD Burner XP, etc.).

    And what DVD are you using for burning? I have good experiences with DVD - R Verbatim and TDK discs. These are high-quality discs and you should try it too!

    Last but not least, you need to remove the upper and lower registry filters. It is always advisable to the problems of the CD/DVD drive:
    (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
    2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
    (4) restart.

    Depending on your problem with the keys to enlightenment that you should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This determines the buttons of enlightenment, FN keys and other special functions on your laptop. I had a similar problem with my Qosmio F50 illumination buttons and I posted something on this subject in the Qosmio forum that you should try it too!

  • Satellite U300 - 10 M supports the 64 bit OS?

    Hello guys,.

    I just wanted to know, if 64-bit of Windows XP can be installed on my laptop U300 - 10 M.
    It seems that the CPU (T7300) supports x 64, as CPU - Z shows that EM64T instructions are supported.
    But somewhere else, I read that bios should also support the 64 bit OS.
    So I wonder if anyone has installed 64 bit OS on U300 and tips and tricks that I have to be aware.

    Thanks in advance!

    You can install all the BONES you want there is no problem with the installation of the OS.
    You might have only problem with Win XP 64 bit drivers.

    Still is it that XP64bit is not so popular as the Win XP 32 bit or Vista and that's why you won't find drivers 64 bit XP on Toshiba page.

    Maybe you can collect the drivers from somewhere another good luck

    Lööw salvation,

    I'm sure that it of possible to replace the touchpad buttons because you can replace everything on a laptop. But I think that it s a little trickier because you must remove a lot of pieces and that's not easy.

    You should ask an authorized service provider guys can order the new spare part for you and exchange it. Just write an email, for example, to get in touch with them.
