  I recently bought a portable Satellite U400 Joo.
  On my keyboard the number 9 above, there is a little light with a square with small points in. It appeared, and now when I type letters numbers are now coming to the top.

  How do you take this feature?
  Example, when I pres the letter i, the number 5 appears, not I.

  Can you please help me, its killing me :)

  Press FN + F11 again and the light should disappear. The keyboard should now work as should be ;)

• 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...

  Any help would be greatly apreciated!
  Tankxs everyone!

  Before you continue just a matter of discussion:
  Let's say I help you with this and damage you something or broke a plastic part, what you will do in this case?
  I mean you probably know that you can get a few small important parts as separate components.

  By the way: this description may be provided in the manual. Disassembly of the laptop is authorized personal only. When you buy a new car it is no description how to disassemble the entire engine, right?

  By the way: Jeanine's right. See this page. There are many useful tips on laptop disassembly procedure.

• 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

  Please let me know what you think of this.

• I can't install Fedora core Linux on Satellite U400

  Dear friends,

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite U400.
  As you know today all laptops that is coming from Windows Vista.
  So, regarding my project, I tried to install Windows XP and Linux on my laptop but unfortunately I could not install at the beginning.

  Later I could successfully install Windows Xp and everything works fine... even if I have to install Linux Os so when I tried; the hard drive does not recognize the installation.

  So please let me know once if you could do the installation of Linux on your laptop... maybe the same steps would be sufficient to continue the installation of Linux.

  But I'm not sure. Meanwhile if you can help me, that would be better...

  Thanks in advance

  Go into the BIOS and change the SATA Mode to IDE or compatibility.

• Re: Can I use the other Satellite U400 series recovery disk

  I have Toshiba Satellite U400 121. My recovery disk does not work may be due the scratches that I see in it. I took the laptop to the Toshiba Center service and I got a negative support of them. They said, they can't put the Windows Vista because the recovery disk is not there, and they have put Windows XP inside and handed to me.
  later I got to know that Windows Xp is not Geninue one. :|

  I can still see one of the Partition 'D:' with folder HDDRecovery inside.

  So can I use Recovery Disk of all PC model Toshiba laptop other than the Toshiba Satellite U400 121 recovery disk.

  In fact, I tried with the other model recovery disk, that at boot with this disk, Recovery Wizard starts up, but since I'm not sure about this one I stopped there and brought out.

  Please one of you let me know if you have valuable contributions on this.

  suggestions are welcome!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I don't know Mr. which series Satellite U400-121, it is, but you must use the recovery disc designed specifically for this series of laptop!

  Another recovery disc cannot be used because the drivers and tools that have been implemented in the image of Toshiba are not designed for this series of laptop!

  By the way; You can order the CD from recovery from here:

• Satellite U400-119 - battery not recognized

  Hello

  I just bought a laptop TOSHIBA Satellite U400-119. The operating system is Windows Vista Home basic.
  Before I turned on the laptop, I plugged on the CC adapter and let the batteries reload for 24 hours.

  However, after 24 hours, battery LED icon is orange and blinks (which means that the battery is low according to the user manual).
  When I tried to turn on the laptop without the adapter DC laptop computer did not respond. So I installed Vista while the laptop was still connected to the DC adapter.

  After installation, the Vista battery icon displays a red cross on the battery icon, which means that it is not recognized.
  This is a brand new laptop so I think the battery needs to be replaced, but I don't know.

  Someone at - it had a similar problem?
  Any sollutions to my problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  A display really interesting because one of my friends got the laptop U400 and a similar one issued what s happened too.
  Suddenly, the battery did not recognize I thought that it s a malfunction of the battery. But I was wrong.

  The solution is very easy.
  You must update the BIOS and this should help get rid you of this strange issue.
  My friend did the same thing and it worked!

  So check it out. Download the BIOS compatible and right and update!

• Satellite U400-144 - Vista cannot return

  Hello everyone

  I got this new Toshiba Satellite U400-144 (PSU40E), came with Vista home and worked really well until I decided to install Linux. Everything was going fine until I had my HARD drive partitions, when I deleted my 1.5 GB partition, which is called partition EISA!

  I don't know how to get it back, no disc don't came with the laptop and Vista no longer exists and I can't get it back.
  Quite simply when I boot I get a message: LACK of OPERATING SYSTEM

  Can anyone tell how to get this score again?
  Please help and thanks in advance :)

  Hello!

  First, the EISA partition do you mean don't contain Vista installation files or let's say the recovery disc. The EISA partition contains files for restore systems and it is a feature of Vista, not Toshiba.
  With the recovery disk, you would be able to get the factory settings, this means an installation of Vista with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  The only way to return Vista is a Toshiba Recovery disk. Go to a local ASP or you can order one directly from Toshiba.

  Good bye

  To solve this problem I need a bios or above 3.0 but the latest available bios (4.00 - bios - 20090430082154.zip) in the download page refers to an invalid link.

  Please is - someone has a bios (version 3.0 or higher) for Win32 poster systems?

• Satellite U400-183 - need Recovery DVD and AHCI drivers

  Hello

  I tried to reinstall Win Vista Home Premium to my Satellite U400-183. I used a DVD OS Win that came with my other laptop to other manufacturing and the key that came with my Toshiba laptop. Everything works beautifully, but in some areas of Windows is still some specific parameters of the manufacturing on the other. Now is it possible to get a DVD of Windows Vista Toshiba?

  Another question is where can I get the AHCI drivers. There is only an exe file on the support site which I can't use during the installation of Windows. There must be some these .sys files, but I can't find them on the Toshiba site, so I had to install Windows in compatibility mode.

  Thanks in advance!

  PS: Sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Germany...

  Hello!

  A new recovery DVDs, you can get your local ASP (authorized service provider).
  Or you order a DVD from Toshiba directly:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  The AHCI drivers or let say Intel Storage Manager, you can download from the Toshiba site as you have already said.
  The .exe file, you must check out to use during the installation, but with the recovery disk you n t need them.
  Please read the readme file in the Storage Manager, there is an example how to extract it. Use the command line what it
  For example: - a - a - PC:------.

• Wireless does not work on my Satellite U400/03 s

  Hi guys,.

  I have laptop Toshiba Satellite U400/03 and I have a very strange problem that I can't seem to move.

  I registered new connection ADSL2 + and yesterday, when I tried to configure it upward, I found that the I can connect to the internet by cable but not wireless.

  The laptop shows the network in the list with the full signal strength. I configured the connection properties identical to my laptop including the WEP key and such. When I go to connect to the network, it is fair and says "Waiting for network ' for about 5 minutes, then this dialog box disappears and never connects to the network, just goes back to the network selection screen.

  Someone had this problem? If so how were you dealing with the repair? It of very frustrating and played with the router and computer options for hours now trying to make it work properly with no luck.

  Just to let you know guys I use Billion BiPAC 5200 G Router wireless RC and windows XP pro on my laptop.

  Help please! Thanks in advance to all those who respond.

  Sam

  It's not easy help on this path, and I advise you to call your internet provider and ask for help. On the phone, they can help you with all of the settings of the router and you can be sure that everything is done correctly.

  In General, the entire WLAN configuration is simply. As a first step, you can disable the security option for WLAN and short check if WLAN works without WEP or WPA/WPA2.
