• Satellite U400-11U: no sound with HDMI output

  Hi all

  I am the proud owner of a model of satellite U400-11U PSU40E running with Windows Vista.
  Recently, I tried to view a video on my TV. To do this, I used the HDMI output of the laptop connected to the TV.

  I took care to connect the cable to the TV and only after to the laptop.
  Then use the quick access key (Fn + F5), poster image on the TV.
  Unfortunately, there was no noise.

  After some googling, I discovered that I needed to activate the HDMI audio output via the control panel of the sound.
  Unofrtunatly, when viewing, I have found no output Audio HDMI, but only speakers and another exit (whose name I forgot--sorry).

  I tried to update the video and HDMI audio drivers (I noticed that there is a HDMI audio driver in the perpipherals system, which was considered 'work' of Vista), but it changed nothing.

  So, what can I do to activate the audio output over HDMI?

  Hello

  Please see this FAQ from Toshiba:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401B00001R01.htm

  You will find an instruction how to solve this problem... it s about Qosmio G30 but I think it should work on U400 too...

  The point is that you must set the S/PDIF audio output by default!

  And don t forget to RESTART the laptop after the change was made.

  See you soon

• Satellite U400 - conflict Dynadock DVI with Intel graphic driver

  I try to install the Dynadock DVI on my Satellite U400 / Vista 32 and after reboot, I continue to have the message Igfxext Module has stopped working.
  This is part of the Intel graphics driver.

  When I uninstall the Toshiba Software video Dock and drivers (exhibit Dynadock) components.
  I don't have the problem... but I can't use an external display connected to the Dynadock.

  I updated the Intel display drivers with no difference. Anyone who could help me on this one?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Check if you can update the graphics driver using the graphics driver for the Intel page.
  I have a U400 too and I installed the Intel driver from the Intel page.

• Satellite U400-138: RAM works with 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz

  Hello

  I have Satellite U400-138 with 3 GB of RAM (2 + 1 GB sodimm modules)
  I have new kit 2x2gb sodimm-s Corsair PC6400(800MHz)

  When I install new modules, system reported that they are working on 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz,
  Maybe that's the problem BIOS chipset because that support this frequency.

  Help me, what to do, to run new modules on 800 MHz?

  Hey Buddy

  I doubt that it is a BIOS problem.
  The point is that the speed of the RAM can be lowered and locked by the FSB (front side bus)
  If the FSB supports only 667 Mhz then your RAM 800 Mhz will run only at 667 Mhz

• Satellite L40 don't stop with power connected and is not in sleep mode

  Hello world. I hope someone can help me. Basically, there are two problems: one with judgment of the laptop (Satellite L40 - 17U (Vista 32 bit Home Premium SP1)) down when power is connected and the other with closing the lid and put it to sleep.

  1. in recent weeks, it all of a sudden won't stop, whenever power is connected. When it's on battery, it will stop. When the power is connected, and I try to stop, it seems that it closed down (all activity stops and the led goes off) for about 1 or 2 seconds, then it goes back.

  2. when I close the lid (all settings in Vista are set to put the laptop in a State of 'sleep' when the lid is closed), the laptop enters a State where it cannot be recovered by stopping by pressing the power button for 10 seconds to close completely. When closing the cover, only the battery LED continues to Flash orange (the way it should be), but apparently the laptop keeps consuming power, because when I restart later (first having to close as described above) tends to be quite an empty battery as it was before the next redΘmarrage it (like go from 100% to 65% in 30 minutes as "standby mode"). Also, when I open the cover, the other LEDS will on new (green), but nothing happens.
  After the restart first by pressing the power button for 10 seconds to close, I often get the message that Windows cannot be started and run the system repair.

  I just do a completely clean install with the product recovery CD (has not installed SP1 yet), updated to v1.90 BIOS, but the problem remains.

  I'm afraid that my only option will be to bring him away for a warranty repair, but knowing that these repairs can take weeks, I'd rather try a solution here could someone recommend me first. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

  Thank you

  Hi guys

  Never had this problem on my laptop, but with regard to an other users here in the forum the BIOS might help solve such strange behavior for laptop
  To be honest the closed question is unclear for me I noticed a problem before on my laptop but the update of the BIOS helped.

  This is why I recommend update BIOS first.
  If the problem still appears, the ASP should take a look in the notebook.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro C850 - strange problem with LAN connection

  Hello world

  I just signed up on this forum because I hope you guys can help me with a really strange problem.

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro C850-1MX
  It came with Win8, but given that I don't really like Win8, I bought an additional Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) license and installed on the laptop.

  The problem I describe, also arrived on 8 to win, which makes it even more strange.

  As soon as I connect a cable to the RJ-45 port, Windows tells me, that the LAN connection is not connected.
  As soon as I unplug the cable, Windows starts looking for a network and actually found one!

  So, the only way to connect to my LAN cable is... I have activate the LAN connection, wait that it detects a network (without the cable connected!) and meanwhile to connect the cable to the network port.
  Now... If I disconnect the cable once again, Windows still shows its connected.

  I must say, that I am a Director of professional network for more than 10 years now, so I should know my systems, but this never happened to me before. Event log shows nothing, re-installing drivers did nothing either. IM quite confused here and I hope you guys can help me.

  Thanks for reading, and let me know if you need any additional info!

  Greetings from the Germany,
  Sandro

  Hello Sandro,

  To be honest I confused m.

  I would try to start talking about the drivers installed, since you changed the system for Win 7.
  All the network devices, such as card WLan and LAN card are properly recognized in Device Manager?

  As I m not wrong not the laptop was equipped with a network card Realtek-8111F (1000BASE-T/100Base-TX/10Base-T) and WLan RTL8723AE Realtek b/g/n card.
  If both should appear in the device properly Manager if you have installed the drivers correctly.

  2nd question:
  You said:
  > As soon as I unplug the cable, Windows starts looking for a network and actually found one!
  Are you sure that you speak of LAN and WLAN?
  For me it made no further since. If the network cable is unplugged, the notebook would connect to the WLan where WiFi is enabled.

• Satellite pro 2100 only works on battery.

  I have a Satellite Pro 2100.
  It works on a charged battery.
  The charger/power supply does not power the laptop, with or without current battery (charger/psu certainly work on an another SP2100 - charger/power supply is not the fault)
  I tried the battery in another SP2100 and it works find (so the battery isn't the fault).
  I checked the plug on the motherboard for the charger. (the joint is fine)
  A perculiar thing happens with the LED at the front.
  The battery is charged in, only the controller led lights (green, the extreme left LED) as if he's working out of the PSU.
  The charger/power supply does not have the LED lights up.

  Has anyone else had this defect?
  Can anyone help?

  Looks like that the motherboard (or power Board if it is) doesn't have.

  I bring it to an ASP and ask for a quote.

• Satellite L30-149, only works with external monitor and VGA mode

  Satellite L30-149, Windows XP Home Edition

  Yesterday I did face the following problem:

  I swithched on my laptop but I have nothing on the screen. I tried to reboot several times, but it did not help. If I look very carefully, I see the logo of Intel (black text on white on the screen) but nothing else. The logo shows very low.

  I plugged on the external monitor. With that he gives a little more. The Intel logo with the instruction how to reach configuration etc. Then Windows logo but when it should ask the user, the external monitor going to sleep mode and nothing happens after that.

  And an external monitor, I managed to connect to Windows in safe mode and also in VGA mode. In VGA mode, I tried to change the resolution, after that I got black screen again and I had to start.

  Now I wonder if I could do something (update of drivers, etc.) or should I go to the store where I bought the laptop and ask them to fix it. This look like a problem covered by the warranty?

  --
  Upgrade to this message (what happened after that I wrote the above text).

  I turned on the laptop again. I thing the lightning from the room is now better because I noticed that the laptop seems to work (almost) correctly. Windows starts normally, I can faintly see the desktop. This seems to be a problem in the background ligthning. FnF7 does not change the situation.

  > If I look very carefully, I see the logo of Intel (black text on white on the screen) but nothing else. The logo shows very low.

  This sentence is very interesting.
  Sounds like a question of FL-ups!

  It is a small part behind the screen and control the backlight of the screens.
  Usually, this part is not very expensive and the replacement is not complicated to a technician for laptop.

  If your warranty is valid, then everything should be done for free.
  Try to contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

• Satellite U400 PSU44E: Impossible record with Conexant Smartaudio 221

  It has been possible to record audio streams on the net with Audacity.
  After an upgrade to Windows 7 and updates for the drivers it is no longer possible. The sound has disappeared. Of course, I can always save the stream off the card, but only at a very very poor quality.

  It is a problem of Toshiba and sound card. I can still save on my other computer with another sound card. As I need to register to work, it is a serious problem for me, and there should be warnings when customers update.

  Is there a way to get around this? Are there patches?

  Guenter

  Hey,.

  Before you start a lengthy discussion, can you please put the number of exact model of your laptop?

  If you have this problem only with the new sound driver you should go back to the previous version of the driver ;)

• Satellite U400-13N - need a new battery, which one to get?

  I need a new battery for my laptop, but not quite sure like one to get as it seems U400 is distributed.

  Alternative contact your local ASP and ask for a new battery. Guys will order a new.

• Satellite M10: CPU only works with 599 Mhz

  Hi all

  Just managed to change the motherboard in my after former M10 it had a power failure.
  He tells me now that my processor is clocked at 599 Mhz instead of 1.4 Mhz.

  Is the processor had it as well?
  Any ideas, thank you.

  Jay

  Hello

  It of simply the case; the firmware must be updated!
  After replacing the motherboard ASP always update the firmware on the motherboard. If it has not been done, the CPU is only 598 Mhz.

  You must contact the ASP for a update

  His son will confirm my suggestions:

• Satellite P100-240 only works with ACPI disabled

  Hello

  I recently bought a second hand P100-240.
  For a day, it worked very well, and I tested it with sisoft sandra, 3dmark, many games etc.
  All played well, and it was not overheating and really powerful.

  Then a day later, he just got started while I was using it. On reboot, it will reach point just sign into windows XP Media Center edition and then cut. Even in safe mode, exaclty the same thing would happen.
  I left it for a few hours, in which case it was overheated, but the same thing happened when I retested.

  I tried the live cd Knoppix, and initially it would turn off at halfway by starting.
  Then I tried to run the Knoppix with a "acpi = off" option and it starts very well!.

  Also, I have tried many BACK start-up based utils and these well everything worked.
  I tested the disk, the cpu (stress and burn in tests), memory (memtest). All tools ran fine and all tested ok (and the machine does not idle)

  I tried to install a copy of windows XP alongside XP MCE, but that on the installation screen lists the existing partitions, and the machine would just power off.

  So try the Knoppix ACPI thing, I tried to install Windows XP without ACPI (i.e. a STANDARD pc), and he got through the fine installation. Now, I have a fully functional laptop again and can play all the games etc like before. Everything I have disappeared are ACPI some associates of power options.

  Now, what I want to know, is this ACPI issue a collateral or the related issue of the BIOS?

  Im running 4.40 BIOS, which is the latest BIOS for the p100-240 (PSPA3E).

  Is there a previous BIOS, which is perhaps more stable and will work around this ACPI problem? But the confusion is how all it worked well for a day and a half at the start?

  Any thoughts would be helpful.

  Hello

  In my opinion, the laptop is closed due to a higher internal temperature!
  The point is that the laptop supports protection against overheating and sensors (ACPI Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface) who would yell at the bottom of the unit automatically to prevent damage.

  You said that this happens all by playing a few games. This heavy application leads to higher heat dissipation and therefore the temperature rises.
  I think that you should first check your cooling modules if they are not clogged with dust and debris. A compressed air jet pourrait helps get rid of the dust.

  Second, you must use the graphics drivers from Toshiba because such driver was designed for the use of the laptop and controls the heat dissipation the GPU too.

• Re: Satellite L300D do not begin with iTunes

  The new L300D received 13 s today (with Vista Home Premium), loaded MS Office 2007 without problem and anti-virus and then iTunes software.

  When trying to turn on laptop later would not start (got stuck on Please wait). Succeeded to restart using the system restore to a point of restoration before itunes was downloaded.
  Help, please!

  I n t have experience with iTunes, but where did you downloaded it?
  Maybe it's the s virus in it or an older version that is not compatible with Vista.

  To be honest, I could be also software anti-virus because you wrote that you have installed the software, then on iTunes?
  You did a reboot between these facilities?

• Satellite U400-144 - Vista cannot return

  Hello everyone

  I got this new Toshiba Satellite U400-144 (PSU40E), came with Vista home and worked really well until I decided to install Linux. Everything was going fine until I had my HARD drive partitions, when I deleted my 1.5 GB partition, which is called partition EISA!

  I don't know how to get it back, no disc don't came with the laptop and Vista no longer exists and I can't get it back.
  Quite simply when I boot I get a message: LACK of OPERATING SYSTEM

  Can anyone tell how to get this score again?
  Please help and thanks in advance :)

  Hello!

  First, the EISA partition do you mean don't contain Vista installation files or let's say the recovery disc. The EISA partition contains files for restore systems and it is a feature of Vista, not Toshiba.
  With the recovery disk, you would be able to get the factory settings, this means an installation of Vista with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  The only way to return Vista is a Toshiba Recovery disk. Go to a local ASP or you can order one directly from Toshiba.

  Good bye
