• Satellite U400 - problems with the Panel, the touch and media keys

  How can I make it works?

  Hello Sal

  I played around with this stuff and here is my opinion on this subject.

  (1) as far as I know there is nothing strange. I noticed the same thing on notebooks too. For example, if you want to listen to music, you can simply press PLAYER button (3rd from left) and begins at will for laptop and open windows media player. If you want to go on the internet you can simply press INTERNET ((deuxieme button on the left). Laptop will be put into construction and Internet Explore will be open.
  So there is nothing strange, and even get on my Satellite P200 and brand-new Satellite A300.
  To be honest I don't know if this can be disabled. I'll ask a friend of mine. It is monster of Toshiba and maybe he knows more about it. But this behavior is certainly not strange.

  If you want to use only the power button and then press power button to start. Do not touch the other.

  (2) Please check s operating manuals and look for info on this button. AFAIK it is clearly written Mute or LED on / off depending on the model you purchased, press this button to mute the sound or turn on or off the illumination of the logo of the brand, touchpad and buttons.
  So please do not mix anything. This button has no two options. On your model, you can disable illumination only. It is the same on my laptop. So there is nothing wrong with your laptop.

  (3) you also misunderstood this feature. If face recognition is activated the two options will be displayed. If you do not want to enter a password you can use the option of face recognition. But what you will do if for some reason your face may not be identified correctly. How you want to connect?

  So, please don't be irritated by these things, everything is OK.

• Satellite U400 - problem with the new extension to 2 GB RAM

  Hello

  My satellite U400 have 3 GB of DDR2 memory. (2 GB DDR Kingston PC5300 + 1 go)
  I tried to put 4 GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB DDR2 PC5300 Kingston).
  But I have the blue screen on startup of windows.

  Each extension RAM works very well (try with 2 GB of RAM only).

  Windows 7-64 bit / CRUCIAL M4 256 GB HARD drive.

  Do you have any solutions?

  Thank you.

  Can you please post exact model laptop (U400-xxx)?
  I just want to which Kingston modules are 100% compatible with your laptop satellite.

  I can only imagine that you are using incompatible Ram. All compatible modules will be recognized correctly and you will be able to boot your laptop as usual.

• 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.

  How to open a file with the extension .odg using Vista?

  Hi Defiant503,

  Thank you for visiting the forums of answers.microsoft.com.

  I did some research and a file ending with .odg is an OpenDocument Document OpenOffice/StarOffice (Ver 2) of graphics by Sun Microsystems, Inc.    This means that in order to open this file, you will need this program to open it.  You will not be able to open this file with Vista.

  I hope this information helps.

• Satellite U400 - color of the shell of edges and slow start of the housing

  Hi all

  Just bought a Satellite U400-15B and am loving the laptop itself but have the following two issues.

  First of all, regarding the case I noticed that on the edge of the high gloss base (where he meets the not shiny black plastic bottom) the paint is already peeling.

  It is mainly about above the left USB port, CD drive in Rabat and at the rear above the battery (only visible when the lid is closed). It is very minor and is only visible when looked at her carefully, but obviously I paid a lot for this so do not want to look all worn in a few months. Someone at - it? I took a look at a few display models and its mixed, some are worn in areas similar some are perfect. I would like to exchange it, but I'm afraid that the replacement can be another problem like a dead pixel or may have the same problem only worse?

  Second, I noticed that my laptop takes a long time to start compared to my old Toshiba A200 which also runs Vista. I removed a lot of bloatware and the Toshiba TEMPRO, which I heard is also causing problems, but I still have this problem. It seems to start fine until the Vista logo screen then it takes awhile, while displaying "Please wait".

  Anyone has any ideas on this?

  Hello MrAK

  If the laptop is brand new and you have a few days only I recommend you contact your dealer as soon as possible and. Talk with them and explain that you don't want to have replacement with dead Pixel or something like that. I hope they will understand you and help get new but 100% good laptop.

  Slow start is discussed several times. I have Satellite A300 and commissioning was horrible, but now, after a slight modification it starts after only 1.5 minutes.

• 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.

• Satellite A100 - problem with the operation of the battery

  Hello!

  My laptop (I bought 1.5 years ago) has a big problem when you use with the battery.
  First of all, with a fully charged battery, the notification of "limited battery status" appears after 2 minutes of operation and after 5 minutes, he goes to the standby mode due to the level of the battery is very low.

  Then, I plug it into the AC power and the battery remains yellow for about 15 minutes light and then turns blue.
  (The battery is OK, I tested it on another satellite A100)

  What can be the problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  Maria

  Given that you have tested the battery in another satellite A100, the problem must be in the settings of your computer:

  1 > START > CONTROL PANEL > POWER SELECT THE OPTIONS ICON

  2 > you will now see a screen that shows your management food and note * one * has a tick that is a small point in a circle:

  3 > BALANCED > POWER SAVER > HIGH PERFORMANCE

  4 > THE PLAN OF POWER > CLICK ON CHANGE PLAN SETTINGS > WILL DISPLAY A SCREEN SHOWING YOUR PLAN!

  5 > GO TO > * CLICK * WHERE IT SAYS CHANGE ADVANCED POWER SETTINGS

  6 > IF YOU SCROLL THE BAR TO THE * SIGN + > BATTERY-CLICK * THE * SIGN.

  7 > YOU SHOULD HAVE: you will need to have play with these settings, or you can click on restore plan defaults to see if that will solve your problem

  Notes by clicking on the * + plus SIGN next to tany of these options below will allow you to change what event happens on your computer.

  He sometimes worked but is virtually unusable.

  I get access: Local only and whateverf as I do, I can't work properly.
  I use encryption WEP 128 bit on a router/modem US Robotics 9106.

  Any help gratefully otherwise received I will take this back to the shop because it is not a usable product.

  No one knows the configuration of the laptop.
  No one knows what OS you are using.
  Nobody knows what you did last time with your laptop.
  No one knows how long you have this problem.
  No one knows what are the USB devices that you use to test USB functionality.

• Satellite A500 - problem with the monitor after restoration

  Hello
  I have a Satellite A500. He has a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can not read but once the laptop to boot completely it is fine. My problem is that I wanted to do a restore, but I couldn't because the screen problem it started so I plugged into an external monitor and perform the restore. That has worked well.

  But now the laptop recognizes any my laptop screen. When you go to view it offers no other monitor choice other than external, I used for the restoration. I downloaded the display driver but nothing has changed.
  ANY IDEAS?

  Thank you

  (I have the disks for the restoration, if that helps.)

  > There a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can't read
  If I understand you right you can see when laptop starts and you see Toshiba welcome screen. Is this good?
  When you enter the BIOS settings you see thise lines too?

  Later, when you see the desktop on the external monitor, you can use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between an LCD and external monitor. Please try to use it and post comments if it works or not.

  What operating system do you use?
