• 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.
  I found one for a Toshiba U400-15 and I was wondering if that will enter my chassis.
  It's ok if I have to reformat my hard drive & reinstall windows.

  Here's what he said on that I found.

  A000060020
  Motherboard Toshiba U400 - 15th

  Compatible with A000027670 A000060020 31TE1MB01N0

  I have attached a picture of my model below.

  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.

• Satellite U400-15E - cannot start new USB HDD

  Hello.

  Recently a bought a WD My Book external with 3TeraByte to use with my Satellite U400-15E. I can use inside Windows 7 Ultimate without problem. But if I try to boot from it (by pressing the F12 key), the BIOS does not even see the drive.

  Is it because Toshiba does not use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)? UEFI BIOS can overcome the limitation of 2.19 to in computers today easily, as explained in the following Western Digital document:
  [http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/Flyer/ENG/2579-771501.pdf]

  This would allow me to use my new external drive to store an image Ghost drive HARD internal of my Toshiba for example. I mean 3 TB and more capacity is a reality today. When Toshiba updates their UEFI BIOS support?

  Material used:
  Toshiba Satellite U400-15E (BIOS v5.00 10/26/2010)
  Western Digital My Book Essential 3TeraByte - Firmware v1.014 (USB 3.0 interface)
  MS Windows 7 Ultimate - 32 bit version

  Thank you

  HARD drive primary school

  But you're absolutely right Re: 3 to and a larger capacity is reality today, but Satellite U400 is older model laptop and not newer ;)

• Audio driver does not work on Satellite U400-112 with Vista 64-bit Buss

  Hello

  I installed Win Vista Buss. 64-bit on my Toshiba Satellite U400-112 but the original driver for the Toshiba site does not work properly, honestly does not at all. The only driver that works is a winner. Vista driver but when I plugged in her headphones just got pregnant shape, but there is no sound in headphones.

  Can someone help me, please?

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite U400 with Windows Vista 64 bit also, and I used the driver on the Toshiba site (Conexant 4.36.7.0).
  It works without problems, I can hear sounds with the speakers and headphones.

  Maybe you have an old BIOS. After the installation of Windows Vista, I made an update of the BIOS so try that too.
  The BIOS you can find also on the Toshiba site.

  Good bye

• Satellite U400-15E: cannot use Bluetooth

  Hey guys

  Newbie here.
  I just bought a new satellite U400-15e.
  I did as follows.

  The switch market and fn + f8.
  Everything is on and without bluetooth installation came.

  All advice is appreciated.

  Off topic, I bought my laptop in March, but when I registered it, it showed that my warranty ends in November? I thought it was a 1 year warranty.

  Help, please

  Hello

  With regard to the question of Bluetooth:
  Are you sure that your laptop U400-15E has been equipped with Bluetooth module to 100%?
  Check the bottom of the camera! If the BT has been installed, then you should see a few labels of BT.

  With regard to the question of the guarantee:
  Usually you've got a standard one year warranty and it s is available on the first day of purchase.
  But you can extend this standard warranty. If you would register the notebook on the Toshiba page then you would get, second year additional warranty.

  Can anyone recommend settings camera property? Hue, saturation, Brightness, Contrast.thx

  Oh sorry, I forgot to mention, I got a U400-15e.

  THX guys :D

  > and finally and above all, where can I find the latest driver for my webcam.
  Satellite U400-15 belongs to the series of PSU44E and this series is listed on the page of the European driver Toshiba there is all of the available drivers and tools.

  Webcam:
  I've got U400 also it s not exactly the same model, but my U400 is equipped with webcam too and it works great.
  You can change some settings in the properties of the webcam software.
  I recommend that you turn on night Mode if your room is dark and backlight compensation.
  In addition, all my Image settings are set by default.

• HARD drive protector does not not on Satellite U400 PSU44E Win Vista Ultimate

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U400 PSU44E

  I have install Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with a clean install.

  I have download the good drivers for protector of HDD on Windows Vista, but an error message appears saying that the program is not compatible with this model.

  Anyone with the same problem has this problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I visited the European Toshiba driver page and didn t find the Vista drivers for the U400 PSU44E series.
  Are you sure that you downloaded the good HDD Protection Utility to 100%?

  At the other hand that this error message may appears because the HDD Protection Utility is not fully compatible with the ultimate edition of Vista
  I read in some messages that this might be the reason also.

• Satellite U400 - Downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello guys,.

  I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite U400/03 s with a pre-installed version of Vista business & do not like. It came with a recovery disk for Windows XP Pro product. This confused me a bit. Can I downgrade Vista Business with XP Pro?

  My next question is, if I can downgrade to XP Pro I need registry XP with Mircosoft?

  Also, if I do not need to register with Mircosoft XP, where can I get the registration key of?

  Greatly forward a response.

  Thank you very much.

  Normand

  Hello

  A downgrade from Vista to XP is possible. Why not?
  But as far as I know, so you need to reinstall the full specifications but in my opinion, this isn't a problem because you have the XP Recovery disk. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

  But before that, you you should burn the Windows Vista recovery disk. How do you know this? You need to start only the Toshiba recovery disc creator and you need a blank DVD. Then the Vista recovery disk will be created, and if you want new Vista, you must start only on this disc. That s all because it contains the settings factory and if all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  If you have installed XP you must register it on Microsoft. It is not necessary.
  AFAIK, you must enter a product key. It of already on the recovery disk.

• Satellite U400: Installation of XP and change the partitions

  Hello!

  First of all, sorry for my English, it is not good, I hope you understand me!

  I have a Satellite U400, and I would like to create a partition to install XP and have a dual boot with Vista.

  My first question is:
  I have seen that it is possible to download all the drivers xp... but they are the only upgrade, or in the book there is not driver for Xp in default?
  I need to install any drivers? And when I install it?
  Immediately after the first installation of XP?

  The second question is: I tried to resize the Vista partition, but Vista says it's impossible resize as much as I want to, because of file sharing and the snapshot.
  Can you help me solve this problem too?

  Thank you for your support!

  Bye!

  As to the question;

  (* 1) * first of all, you should check what model number you have. Driver Toshiba page provide XP drivers for 4 different U400 series.
  XP drivers that are released in the page are the most recent versions and if you want to use all the features of the laptop all the XP drivers must be installed after the installation of XP operating system.

  But before you try to install XP, you must include the SATA driver in XP. The SATA drivers are located in the Intel storage Manger.
  Please also check this forum for more information how to include the driver SATA in XP operating system.

  (* 2) * I guess you cannot shrink the partition because Vista needs a part on the partition for paging.
  It is an OS feature that allows you to use the HDD as RAM temporal.

  Please visit this 3rd party for more details:
  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/Understanding-Windows-Vista-paging-file-size/

  In your case, I would leave a few more space on the partition to make sure that this feature might work properly.

• Satellite U400-112 - WoW problems and the image is not good

  Hello!

  My laptop is Satellite U400-112 and matching video Intel X 3100.

  When I play in openGL, 3D graphics on minimum and the image quality are not good. The same situation with Direct3D even worse. I have a guess - the game not installed, I copied the folder with the game on another computer, maybe I need to reinstall? I installed the latest drivers for the video of the official website of Intel.

  Maybe someone have the same problem and can help me to solve it.

  Hello

  This only happens on the world of Warcraft or in other games too?

  I'm a bit confused because you have set the minimum graphics and then you wrote that the photo isn't good in my opinion that's normal as the photo isn't good, if you play on minimum graphics settings.
  Maybe you can post a screenshot screen or something else.

  You also need to update DirectX version on your laptop that you can find on the Microsoft Web site.

• Satellite U400-15E takes 3 minutes and 12 seconds to start

  Hey everybody,

  As the title says, my Toshiba boots Windows Vista Home Premium in 3 min 12 sec, compared to my old laptop (this one with XP) and laptop from my brother 1 min 42 s 40 s.

  Is there anything I can do to improve this boot?
  Its really annoying. Any update I should preform?

  Hello

  Of course, you can do something;
  You can update or uninstall the Tempro (program) software that is preinstalled on your laptop.
  In addition, you can disable some processes in msconfig-> Startup tab

  These processes in the background and slowing down the Vista to start the procedure.

• Satellite Pro P300-1AY - screen and keyboard issues

  Satellite Pro P300-1AY

  First and most importantly, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
  If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy solution?

  Otherwise, no idea how much it would cost for a replacement?

  Secondly, I switch to a different keyboard layout.
  Anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?

  Thanks x

  > First of all and above all, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
  > If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy fix

  Hmm. Maybe it's s inverter a FL. The FL inverter is a small part that controls the screen backlight
  Generally disassembly laptop procedure is very delicate and looks like you've never disassembled the laptop so I would not recommend to do anything which could damage the other parts get in touch with a local ASP and ask for help.
  Usually the FL inverter should not be expensive pieces but I have no idea on costs

  > Does anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?
  and once again all spare parts can be ordered from local ASP.

• Satellite L350 - cannot install Vista and how can I backup my data?

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite L350 and recently I installed Vista Home Premium in another language (the OEM Vista was in English) in the hope I could activate it with the OEM key, but I did not.

  When I tried to re - install the Vista OEM of WinRE I realized I can't access it, and then I got a "brilliant" idea that will format the C partition with Acronis Disk Director he could boot to WinRE. There can be no.

  Fortunately, I have burned before recovery disks. The only problem is that the whole HARD disc recovery disc formats and I have data on the second partition that I would like to recover.

  I tried to install Vista retail again to save the data of the second partition (Yes, I'm a fool, I did not before) but it stops after the first reboot. I get a black screen with an underscore will blink.

  I really need that data, please help!

  Hello!

  I can tell you why you can t install a version of Vista with product key. It's pretty easy because the button on the lower side on the laptop belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and t can be used by a commercial version.

  However, I think the best way to back up your data would be that you put the HARD drive in an external HARD drive enclosure, and then you can back up your data on another PC or laptop.
  These cases of disc HARD external are cheap but very useful.

• Satellite A300 - problem of touchpad and keyboard

  Hello I have a problem.

  The first time I start the computer, the touch pad and the keyboard Don t run, and I need to connect a usb mouse to restart the computer. And in the second time, the keyboard and the touchpad to work correctly.

  I have a Toshiba A300 and I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
  This who could I do to fix this?
  My English is very bad, but I hope you understand me and that you can help me.

  Greetings!

  According to your message, you have to restart the laptop in order to get the keyboard and the touchpad works properly.
  There may be something wrong with the drivers for the keyboard and the touchpad
  As a first idea I would recommend to update the operating system.
  This means that you should check if a new installation of the OS could solve this problem.

  Keyboard driver is part of the Windows OS, so I think this should be verified.
