Satellite U400 - completely crashed my OS

Hello

I have a portable Satellite U400-13 t. By mistake, I installed Windows Vista Business and it has completely replaced my operating system. I lost all my settings, programs, everything. No media player, no internet. I tried MS Office. How can I uninstall the Vista Business or restore factory settings? FAS, I remember that I never had a disc with the laptop. I just brought it home and it works.

Thank you

Susan

Hello!

You burned the recovery disk?
If you don't l t to do this you don't have at the moment no possibility to go back to factory settings.

The only way to recover to factory settings is you go to a local ASP and advertising a new or you order one directly from Toshiba.

Good bye

    This bad s Companion
    It was the worst case that could appear wile BIOS update.

    There is not a lot of things you could try
    In your case the ASP must be contacted in order to check the machine and the module ROM where the BIOS is stored

    If you're lucky, while the ROM module must be flashed again and the laptop should start again if the worst cases the motherboard must be replaced.

  • Satellite U400 - 112 (PSU40E) - Safe BIOS upgrade - SOLUTION

    Dear all,

    Trying since long upgrade for the bios of my laptop favorite... Toshiba Satellite U400-112 (PSU40E)
    I have Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) English and BIOS version 4.00(until yesterday).
    The problem was that, in windows 7 (32 & 64 bit), the tool flash never started the process of update due to several incompatibilities.
    There is a solution (in fact a workaround solution) to be honest and works 100%!

    My solution is:

    (A) download the latest bios upgrade version appropriate for your laptop, save it (tomake it is easier in the root of the C:\ drive) and unpack it in a temporary folder (for example: bios).

    (B) use the Hiren's Boot CD a real support from a USB or CD (download and burn a CD or follow the process of CD copy on a USB key).

    (C) boot the laptop from the CD or USB flash and in Hiren's Boot Menu, select the version of mini Windows XP.

    (D) allow completely Windows XP startup and then run the tool to update the bios flash from the temporary folder. The update procedure make it exactly as it is described in the manual of the bios update. (If you are not experienced)

    (E) it will update the bios, and then he stops himself. Then you can start normally your operating system, remove any CD or USB key mounted on it.

    I hope you find it helpful and convenient.

    Best regards

    Ioannis

    To be honest I updated the BIOS on my U400 (running Win 7 32 bit), A210 (Vista) and Tecra A10 (Win 7 64 bit) using the victory as the BIOS version and never had any problems in running the tool

    So for me it sounds like this, you should try to reinstall Windows again. After that, the problem should be solved.

    Search with Google, you can find enough discussion about it. Reinstalling Windows can solve this problem.

  • Satellite U400-22Z - random character of space in addition to the letters types

    Hello!

    On a whole new Satellite U400-22Z by pressing the letters on the keyboard sometimes it types a space character in addition to the letter pressed after the letter. for example, by typing the word "test" it may look like in "you st" or "t" or your "t" (although if the problem appears, it allways inserts space at the same location in a word give, then it would always be "t's" If that Word is typed several times). the problem occurs randomly, sometimes, that the problem does not appear for an entire session or day, sometimes several times after another. the probleam appears in several programs (IE, explorer, firefox, Word, even to the connection of the user to the start!)

    I tried (after talking with toshiba support) and an update - chip and bios does not work remove the problem. even after a complete roll-back to the original state of pre-instaled/factory using the disk HARD recovery has failed. It is very difficult to locate/pinpoint the problem to some show because the problem might appear only a few days and then "strike" again...
    I am running vista home 32 on the laptop, and given that the bug appears when using only the installed software origin I dosent seem to be caused by something other than the original software...

  • Update the BIOS for Satellite U400-10O required

    Hello world

    I have a SATELLITE U400-10 oC (PSU40E-00R00EG3). It is an old product, but once I always love use regularly.

    Recently, I bought a battery for this device upgrade. Unfortunately, it does not recognize the laptop. The work of the battery, but I don't you all information about the charge level. I tried various tricks 'reset' (removing ACPI Microsoft in the list of the drivers installed, running down the battery completely etc..).

    I think the BIOS might be exceeded and I'd like to update. Unfortunately, the Web of Toshiba site does not list updates for him more. Still, someone has access to updates the BIOS for this?

    The BIOS is a Phoenix currently to version 4.70.

    Hello

    N my BIOS of opinion has nothing to do with it. Battery can be replaced, and if you use compatible batteries they should be recognized correctly. Here is the list of all compatible batteries:
    PA3534U-1BAS/BRS
    1BAS/PA3536U-1BRS
    PA3634U-1BAS/BRS
    PA3635U-1BAM/BRM

  • Satellite U400-18E (PSU44E) - searching for original BIOS file

    My bios crashed. I'm looking for a bios file for Toshiba Satellite U400-18E (PSU44E). Toshiba site offers me only update the bios, but I need the bios file. There is no information what kind of motherboard in my Toshiba. According to the information on the motherboard can I find bios file.

    Hi pkerk,

    Why update the BIOS crashed and why you did an update?

    Anyway, what you can download from Toshiba Web site is the latest version of the BIOS with the update program that is based on Windows. I've never seen other versions of BIOS only and it would be useless because the new version is more stable and corrects the most problems.

    Maybe you can get the original BIOS file to an authorized service so get in touch with the guys.
    Normally they can reflash the ROM module for you because they have professional tools. :)

  • Re: Satellite U400: operating system not found then the installation of the OS

    I have a toshiba satellite u400 with is come with VISTA.

    Because I don't like VISTA, I then installed WINDOWS XP with a multi boot.

    Everything worked well. But one day I want to resize my partitions I used Paragon partition manager.
    This product is required to operate only to resize my xp partition, so he asks me a start.

    And then nothing works.

    I try to fix my problem with a fresh install, but it seems that the boot sector was not correct.
    Then I completely format my hard disk on another computer with a USB CABLE.

    When I try to install VISTA, XP or LINUX on a CD or DVD, I ask the multiboot with F12
    I chose to boot from the CD/DVD built-in, but I get only "OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND',

    It's as if the BIOS test the HARD to FIND something specific, and it does not find.
    When my PC worked correctly I could boot from the drive to dvd without problem.

    I called the SUPPORT CENTER of about 10 days, but I have no answer.

    So if someone could help me.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND message appears generally if the laptop has attempted to boot from the HARD drive and didn t find the operating system.

    But I put t understand why you formatted the HARD drive using the USB cable?

    Please insert HARD drive in the Bay of laptops HARD drive and check if the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS!
    If the HARD drive has been recognised so I recommend you to take a disk Win XP Home and at the start of this disc.

    As I m not wrong not you will need to first install the SATA drivers to recognize the HARD drive.
    The fact is that the laptop supports the SATA controller and SATA drivers are needed to get the HARD drive recognized by Win XP.

    Well, after you have booted from the Win XP disc you need to format the new HDD by using the NTFS file format and should then follow with the installation of the OS.

  • Satellite L850 - Intermittent crashing with BSOD

    My Satellite L850-1LK crashes with the following error message intermittently: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (athw8x.sys). An online search in some other forums suggested that I should update the driver for my Atheros wireless network adapter. I did - including uninstall it completely before reinstalling with the driver downloaded from Toshiba's own site.

    I always get the BSOD, so any other suggestions would be appreciated. (I'm under 64-bit Windows 8)

    Hello

    What version of driver and what version of BIOS that you use?

    I had the same problem but not with the Toshiba laptop.
    I discovered that the installed McAfee utility causes the BSOD.
    I suggest that you remove and replace with another software antivirus like Avast! or Avira antivir.
    Both are free and can be downloaded for free.

    But of course I updated the Atheros Wlan driver too!
    You must remove the driver and uninstall the driver properly package.
    This can be done in Device Manager!
    Then clean the operating system using CCleaner!
    Reactivate the wireless lan, then install the latest driver.
    Previous updates must have replaced only part of the package of driver causing the problem.

  • Satellite U400-137; Tablet PC Pen - Tablet PC

    Is it possible to use a Tablet PC stylus on the display screen (13.3 "Toshiba true Brite (r) WXGA TFT high brightness) of my Satellite U400-137. I have a few SW pre-loaded for Tablet PC (I ignore if it was provided with Windows Vista or some other free SW provided by Toshiba with my notebook).
    In the event that it is impossible to use the stylus on the screen exist some external display / display by Toshiba to connect to my laptop, which coul support Tablet PC SW?

    Hello gian-marco-del-felice,

    Unfortunately, I think that this is not possible because touchscreens still have an extra layer of digitizer screen inside as Akuma wrote. So in other words, they have a completely normal view without touch screen compatibility.

    If there is a compatible touchscreen, an authorized service provider can order it for you. So, you should ask the guy if there is such a compatible screen available.

  • Satellite U400 - failed to create the recovery disk - bad DVD player?

    Hi all

    I have a 13 inch Satellite U400.
    Due to problems with my Softkeys, lighting and hibernation status (any help on thos would also be useful) I want to create a recovery DVDs with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    The thing is: it starts when I have a CD in the DVD drive, but as soon as I put a DVD in (what is needed), it gives me an errormessage that said something like 'another application is using this drive or no disc recording where found in the laptop. 0D00E4-F0-00000000 error code).

    My DVD player does not work properly, I can play movies and the drivers and the status is ok too.
    I noticed, that error code changes, but I don't know how to get the recovery disk creator will.

    What can I do? Change something in the registry?
    I don't know what happened on my laptop, I bought a few months ago - new. I guess that, reset everything would bring my softkeys, lighting and hibernation status back.

    So, if someone nows how to work at least one of the problems, please give me advice.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    Did you create virtual CD/DVD drives with special software? If so, remove the software completely. In addition, if you have installed burning, programs, you should check if they will be started when Windows starts and if so, disable the beginning upward. So go to start > run > msconfig > start. Here, you can disable the start of burning software (for example Nero, CD Burner XP, etc.).

    And what DVD are you using for burning? I have good experiences with DVD - R Verbatim and TDK discs. These are high-quality discs and you should try it too!

    Last but not least, you need to remove the upper and lower registry filters. It is always advisable to the problems of the CD/DVD drive:
    (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
    2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
    (4) restart.

    Depending on your problem with the keys to enlightenment that you should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This determines the buttons of enlightenment, FN keys and other special functions on your laptop. I had a similar problem with my Qosmio F50 illumination buttons and I posted something on this subject in the Qosmio forum that you should try it too!

  • Power light is on when the Satellite U400/T5800 is off - is this normal?

    We have a Satellite U400 T5800/new, just bought yesterday and have completed the configuration of the software.
    Everything seems to work very well.

    However, I noticed that the orange power LED is turned on (solid, and not not not flashing), even when the laptop is off and there is no connected AC.
    I couldn't find an explanation in the manuals or online. This behavior is normal?

    Normally, I would expect a laptop can be completely powered down - is it normal for the LED light to be even on (continuously when laptop is turned off).

    When the laptop is turned on, the light turns white as expected.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I have a Satellite U400 too and if I close my laptop and unplug the AC adaptor all lights are off.
    Are you sure you did stop your laptop and not hibernate or stand-by? Check it!

    You can try to update the BIOS. Check the Toshiba site for an update.

    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?
