• Satellite U400-22z - how to remove the HARD drive recovery partition

  Hallo,

  My satellite u400-22z came with a big "hdd recovery" folder on the drive hard - yes I know what it does.
  but the unbearably awful version of windows vista that came with the machine made me decide that, in the event of failure of the system, I'm still will not install this failure of the attempt of an operating system.
  So I do not have these data recovery.

  So those ~ 11 GB of junk sitting on my drive is bugging me, I can't delete the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

  How can I work around that?

  Also, is it safe or can I make it safe, to use the small apparently hidden partition (that's recovery also?) I found, which is IIRC ~ 2 GB or larger, for own purposes, without destroying my current installation of windows?

  Thanks in advance,
  Steve

  Hello

  If you have a recovery disk and you do not want to store the folder in hard drive hard disk recovery, you can remove it.

  > I can't remove the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

  Remove you it as you always do to remove all files on your system.

• Is satellite U400 - 17 H - possible to change some parameters of the screen?

  I bought my Satellite U400 - 17 H in Paris in spring 2009 with the hope to work on my laptop without eye discomfort. My laptop TOSHIBA Satellite A100 husband s has a very comforting display and I was hoping to find the same screen for the Advanced series of Satellite U400 - 17H. Unfortunately for me, my sore eyes as soon as they fill the screen.

  What should I do? Is there a setting in Notepad to change? Regarding the brightness, I put the lowest level.
  Can I trust filters of privacy (anti-spyware screen for the privacy of travellers) as filters for the radiation of the screen that hurts my eyes? http://www.toshibadirect.com/TD/B2C/Adet.to?poid=435292 they are described as protecting only the laptop s screen not the eyes of the user s.

  Thank you!

  Hey Lionel,.

  I put t really know what problems you have with Satellite U400 but friend of mine has it and in my opinion the screen is as good as other portable also. I put t see any problems with the quality of the screen, everything is really good.

  It is important that you use the native screen resolution and 60 Hz. This will give you the best image quality.

  About these privacy filters I've never used them but I doubt that will improve the quality

• 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.

• Color space 32-bit making the letters disappear

  It is a delicate and random question but switch to 32-bit color space is to make letters disappear a text animation. I use an animation types letters one at a time, but when a letter appears that until it just disappears.

  Don't know why this is happening or how to fix. It seems to be the cause of the problem when it restores, it is not only in the program. For some reason any he'll create problems for all animations for do this, all the letters, but one in the most common framework just disappear. It also looks like a text that I initially just disappears without reason, it is not animated.

  In addition, without report, but by selecting 'Linearalize work space' just wrecks of all the colors on the screen and make it totally wrong, do not know what is any other.

  I tried the two comps in my MacBook Pro R 32-bit with no problems. I didn't have your fonts, if some have been replaced. Try to change the font. If that does not solve the problem I guess a graphics driver issue. Make sure of course open GL is turned off.

• Satellite A300 - 15K: Polish character does not appear by using the shortcut

  Hello

  I am a fresh user of the A300 - 15K, and early on, I discovered that there the combination Alt + Ctr + c assigned from ATI (Catalyst Control Center) software. Unfortunately this combination should normally produce Polish character "to? (apparently not correctly on this page somehow after as I have copied from the word - it is stong focus on it - ' c' here is its capital version "-?").

  I am entered in the Catalyst Control Center and unmarked the use of keyboard shortcuts called (first this particular shortcut, then the use of hotkeys, usually), but I've reached this Catalyst Control Center stopped commissioning after the use of the combination.

  However, the necessary character of Polish does not appear. I can get the capital version with Ctr + Alt + Shift + c, but no normal version.
  A service center guy advised me to assign a different letter as combination of starting for the Catalyst Control Center and I did, but it was not the Polish character appear.

  I guess that there must be an error in the locale so I tried to change to English and Polish with zero results.

  Please help with some Word of the Adviser.

  Its easy to turn off.
  Simply enter the catalyst driver and there must be option as 'shortcut '. Turn the power off.

  I had the same problem.
  I remember that only it was really easy to turn off.
  You shouldn't have a problem with it.

• Satellite U400-13 t - battery won't charge / no indicator the adapter

  Is the adapter of this OK?
  Have you tested other adapter sector and batteries?
  I think that this should be the first step here.

• Satellite A200 - touchpad random movement when it is connected to the power supply

  Hello
  When connected to power and press the pointer jumps on erratic (only by pressing the key) even if I hold my finger again.

  BUT if I keep in touch with what it is connected to computer laptop 'ground' such as the VGA connector then everything works correctly.

  Also if the laptop is sitting on my lap this also fixes the problem (I have experimented by placing it on a wet towel to simulate the protective effect of my body and it had the same effect, i.e. no pointer to nervousness).

  Finally when executing a stack, there is no problem.

  I tried implementing level and retirement of pilots and all sorts of permutations in the settings so I don't know it's a material thing. Disassemble the system to look at the connections of touch pad but nothing stood out.

  Does this problem familiar to someone or do you have ideas what tests I could do to identify the problem more away?

  Thank you
  Shane

  Thanks for the comment man!

• Touchpad does not work after the removal of the Satellite U400-18F

  Hello

  Yesterday I disassembled my Toshiba Satellite U400-18f to clean dust fan, I unplugged all the cables except the cable touchpad I tried to pull up, but nothing happened, so I went back just as it was before.

  My laptop worked fine except the touchpad does not work!
  So please someone know how to unplug this cable so I can fix it...

  There must be some problem with contact. I recommend to unlock touchpad wire, put it back in place and simply lock again.

• Satellite U400-10 oC (may be not only) perform GDI32 "SetPixel" incorrectly

  Gdi32 procedure 'SetPixel (hDC, X, Y, Color)' changes only the pixels with some values of X:

  So odd (X div 256) then pixel will not change properly, otherwise properly (0.255, 512.767,--, 256.511, 768.1023,--not properly)

  For example, under Delphi/Lazarus code must draw this line without interruption horizontal red line on the form, but on my Toshiba Satellite U400-10 ºC, consist of several parts (depends on the width of the window):

  procedure TForm1.FormPaint(Sender: TObject);
  var
  i: whole;
  Start
  for i: = 0 to width-1 start
  [[I, 10]] Canvas.Pixels: = $FF;
  end;

• Satellite U400-12th-Expand RAM 8 GB possible?

  Hello

  I have a U400-12F with 2x2gb DDR2 667 RAM.
  The specifications of the computer says it only supports maximum load of 4 GB (2 GB in each slot).
  I was wandering if this is really true or if I could put 1 4GB DDR2 667 for 6GB total, or 2 + 4 GB for 8GB.

  Hello

  I checked the specs on the Web from Toshiba site and Satellite U400-12F has Intel GM965 chipset. According to the specifications of the chipset you can check on the Intel page, the maximum RAM capacity is 4 GB (2 GB in each slot).

  Sorry, but an upgrade to 8 GB is not possible, but usually 4 GB should be enough. ;)

• 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 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!
