• Toshiba Satellite U400-14Z upgrade to a faster processor - which is the most rapid possible?

  Hello.

  I want to upgrade an old Toshiba Satellite U400-14Z (http://www.toshiba.eu/discontinued-p...lite-u400-14z/) a little by changing the CPU. Initially there is a processor Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 with FSB to 1066 MHz but I thought to put there P9700 or P9500. It seems that they are similar, specification is exactly, except the speed and the amount of memory cache level 2. The question is: would this work?
  I also found CPU called T9900, which is the fastest of the family. However, T-line requires more power than the line P, 25W to 35W in comparison. Is it possible that she would work in this phone?
  Maybe there's even some CPU more Rapids that would fit. Y at - it all? I'm looking for the maximum possible speed.
  Thank you for the answers.

  Hello.

  Maybe there's even some CPU more Rapids that would fit. Y at - it all? I'm looking for the maximum possible speed.

  I found Intel® Core 2 Extreme Processor QX9300 who might be compatible. It has 4 cores and a thermal power of 45W design, compared to P8400 of TDP 25W. I suspect that the cooling of this laptop is insufficient to be able to disperse the money.

• Re: Satellite U400 - 15G - can I put there Core2Duo processor?

  Hello

  IAM Benji Germany and ive got a question about my new satellite U400 - 15G.

  Installed is a DualCore T3200, now ive fugured that the laptop works on a G45 Express Chipset
  that supports much better Core2Duo processors with less energy.

  But I don't know exactly, that Port Cpu ive Got, and what my laptop maximum FSB...
  800 / 1066, this is what I find on the G45 chipset in the interhnet... but its quite better to ask here
  Autour, before buying a new processor, which does not work ;)

  First a general information;
  I read here in the forum that upgrading the CPU is not supported by Toshiba
  This means that even though you will be able to upgrade the processor, no one will be able to tell if your laptop would be stable or not also the BIOS is not designed for other processors, and there is a high risk that there could be a compatibility issue.

  Regarding the chip set:
  Luke is right. The laptop was equipped with the Pentium Dual Core T3200 (2.00 GHZ) 667 MHZ CPU and Chipset Mobile Intel GL40 Express

  Here is the page: Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo CPU
  http://Ark.Intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?FamilyId=26548
  and here you CPU:
  http://Ark.Intel.com/CPU.aspx?GroupID=29760

  Here the details on Chipset Mobile Intel GL40 Express
  http://www.Intel.com/products/Notebook/chipsets/GL40/GL40-overview.htm

  PS: I put t understand why a CPU upgrade is so important for you. to be honest, you won't see any strong performance increases after upgrade CPU and in my opinion, the risks are too high, that the laptop would not stable

• Slow start on Vista Home Premium - Satellite U400-15B

  Hello

  I just bought Satellite U400-15B and am finding it takes very long to start Vista, I went into msconfig and disabled the things I don't use and stuff that I think is not necessary, but it is still having to wait ages before that I can use the laptop. I have enough RAM and processor speed, so I don't think that the specifications of the laptop are a problem

  Is there something that can be done on this slow start, any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think slow start or laptop slow operations depend on good configuration of the OS. I played with this last month and I am now convinced that Vista starts and runs on my laptop.
  I wrote about this in another thread and if you have time look under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947

• Question about battery for Satellite U400 - 12 p

  Hi all

  I have Satellite U400 - 12 p, battery is 3700mha, but on the Toshiba web site is the 4400mha standard, so it's true that on the website is the error?

  second problem, when working on battery (Vista Edition home premium x 86), the cpu still works on 2000 MHz, and I have only 2 hours my battery. Can I 'take control' of my processor?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I checked the news on Satellite U400-12 p and I can't see the info on dough here but the fact is that the Satellite U400 comes with battery 6cells 3700mAh ability. The part number is PA3634U-1BAS/BRS.

  As option to upgrade Toshiba also offer 6cells with capacity of 4800mAh battery. The reference number of this battery is PA3635U-1BAM/BRM.

• Can I install Vista Home Premium 64-Bit on my Satellite U400?

  Hello

  In another thread, I posted a problem with no hot spare for the OS pre-installed Grrr...

  In any case, I think to upgrade the 64-bit operating system - is - anyone know if this is possible on the Satellite U400? I checked the specifications of the processor on the Intel Web site and it seems that the CPU can... but on the rest of the machine?

  Thank you

  Peter

  Well, Yes. You must take a physical inventory of Sysinfo or device manager and then for each specific devie locate and download a driver.

  When you uprade to Vista 64-bit, then any driver not found during installation can be acquired from your download. Vista is generally well equipped with drivers, with the exception of the exclusive features of Toshiba.

• Can satellite U400 - I switch to a quad core CPU?

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite U400, and I was wondering if I could move the CPU on a quad core processor.

  * is it physically possible? that is, fit the plug? It seems that the Q9xxx and the T5750 share the same socket but maybe he ore other parameters to look for.
  * How can I check if the motherboard supports the Q9xxx? I should probably need a BIOS upgrade: what is the difference between a win32 and win64 bios? I could guess that has something to do with the target OS, but should I assume that the "win64" adapts to any OS 64-bit-ready (i.e. linux, * bsd)?
  * are there significant losses in the battery life?
  Thanks in advance

  > in any case, is there a way to check if the BIOS / motherboard supports a quad core CPU?
  You will not find any information about the BIOS and CPU support on Toshiba pages.
  The BIOS has been designed the U400 and CPU that is equipped with the U400 series.

  I put t know which chipset your U400 is compatible but my U400 supports Intel GM965 chipset, and the Intel GM965 supports the same features as Intel PM965 chipset.
  http://www.Intel.com/assets/PDF/datasheet/316273.PDF

  The Intel PM965 chipset supports the processor Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile for Mobile Intel 965 express chipset family.
  The Quad core CPU is not mentioned. So, it seems that these processors are not supported!

  The question is...

  I want to upgrade my portable computer system memory 3 GB DDR2 (800 MHz) RAM to 4 GB of RAM DDR3 (1066 MHz), which is compatible or not?

  Respect,
  enteoana

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should follow specification not Intel and Toshiba. S Toshiba of info is based on own tests and facts.
  So, depending on the specifications of Toshiba for the GM45 Chipset it is clearly written:

  Min(on Board) wheel capacity - DDR2 800 MHz 0 MB / 8 GB max
  Type of extension of memory - DDR2 800 MHz 1 GB/2 GB/4 GB
  Type of module - SO-DIMM

  So if Toshiba write about 800 MHz modules, you must use the modules to them and not faster.
  You may be able to use faster too, but they do not work with the maximum speed, but not going down to 800 MHz.

  If you want to use max RAM amount use recommended and tested 2 x 2 Go DDR2-800 (PA3669U-1M2G).
  Indicated as compatible RAM, 4 GB DDR2-800 (PA3670U-1M4G).

• Motherboard for Satellite U400-15E work Equium U400-124?

  Hello

  My graphics card died on my U400 - 124 & I said that the motherboard must be replaced.

  Any help is really appreciated

  According to the image of the Equium U400-124 belongs to the series of PSU42E

  Satellite U400-15E belongs to the PSU44E, but both series are very similar, and I guess that the motherboard could be compatible... the presentation of the motherboard seems even if from my point of view of a few you should be able to install this card.

  The Intel Wireless WifI Link 5100 wireless on the Satellite U400-157 is. Seems that it is not one that is required to run the PTV 1000? So an operating system for Win 7 can not allow me to use the PTV 1000?

• Satellite U400 chess backlit

  The backlight on my Satellite U400 guard failed. If I close the lid and open again once it comes back for a few seconds and then fails again UNLESS the power cord is out and the laptop running on battery power at which case it acts normally.

  I changed the inverter. Any other ideas?

  > UNLESS power cord is out and the laptop running on battery power, in which case it is normally.

  Did you check if the key Fn + F6 and Fn F7 combination would increase and the brightness of the screen?

  Please check if the brightness of the screen can be changed using these buttons then the FL inverter should be ok and the problem could be linked to the Win7 power management setting.

  If the problem is related to power management settings, then I would recommend this change.

  * Go to control panel-> power-> Settings Options * change Plan

  Here you can adjust the brightness of plan
  You can set this separately for the use of the battery or AC mode
