Satellite U840 - 10 M irregularly dead for a minute

My one year old * U840 - 10 M * on Windows 7 _irregularly stop functioning_ for one or two minutes.

This can happen during regular operation or just after waking up from his sleep.
If it stops really isn't clear, as neither keyboard nor Mouse touchpad react.
CTRL-Alt-Del to check what is happening is not choice.
After a minute of silence deadly activities resume normally.

All the drivers are up to date. Laptop is mainly used for email and surfing, where problem appears when using Chrome or Outlook 2007.

Any suggestion how to prevent this erratic behavior is very much appreciated.
Are also welcome suggestions how to analyze this laptop to know what forces this halt in activity...

Notepad is a year old, but it will be interesting since when did you notice this kind of behavior. Maybe some background activity is blocking your laptop.

On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. What you can do is to backup all your data and reinstall the OS using recovery media. It will be interesting to know if the same problem happens when the laptop to factory settings.

    Hi guys,.

    My Satellite U840-10V hinge on the right side screen broke when I accidentally dropped the laptop. This happened almost 2 years ago and today he is out, which separates it from the window of the screen. I had this problem temporarily to a nearby repair shop and was advised to contact toshiba to replace the head of screen. my warranty expired in 2013 and I did not apply to it.

    Can someone advise the best course of action to replace the screen? I live in ealing, London and am able to go to a provider of services close to who would be able to replace it. I like really this laptop and I would like to replace the screen as soon as possible instead of dishing out money on another new laptop.

  • Does not begin with satellite U840-110 - Windows 7 - loop start-up

    Hello

    I have been using a Satellite U840 - 110 portable since dec 2012 on a Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. Recently, the laptop was left in standby for a few days. When I tried to start the computer, it froze at the start. So I forced reboot by pressing the power button. After repeating this for a couple of times, he first showed a blue screen. Then, when the computer has been restarted, he showed a black screen with the following message

    "Windows error recovery".
    Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
    ...
    ...
    Run the Startup Repair tool or
    Start windows normally'

    I have tried both these options multiple times and every time at the end of the process, he might come back to these same screen. I also tried to press F8 and used advanced and tried Boot Options "not last know good configuration."

    None of this seems to work and I was not able to load Windows. I don't have a backup of my data and can end up losing a lot of vital information.

    Is there anyway I can solve the problem and get the computer to work again?

    Is it possible to recover data from the hard drive.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Is it possible to recover data from the hard drive.

    You can remove the laptop HARD drive and could connect to another computer using USB-to-SATA cart.

    After that, you could insert the HARD disk into the laptop new and could try to perform the Toshiba HDD recovery.

  • Satellite U840 - new installation of Windows 7

    My U840-113 had a hard drive failure, and I did not all backups of the system image.
    I installed a new hard drive (no problem), but go crazy trying to get Windows 7 for reinstall.

    Here is what happened...
    -Install Windows 7 (service Pack 1) via CD/DVD external, accidentally installed the 32-bit version. No problem, but as I started to go to find all the drivers on the Toshiba site, I noticed some 32-bit options were absent.
    -Tried to install the 64-bit version - NOTE, my Windows 7 original release, so before service Pack 1)
    -Initially I got error messages indicating that the CD/DVD drivers should continue. Really?
    -After research, downloaded the drivers on a CD to use as needed. Did not get this message again because I moved the CD/DVD on another port USB (one who had already given this message!)
    -Got if the whole installation, and I get a message "no compatible hardware. What?
    -Tried once again, the same message.
    -Deletion of the Raid on the SSD drive not... no more Raids on anything!
    -Tried once again, the same message.

    So I'm sure that this issue has to do with the Raid drivers.

    What exactly is the 'trick' to do a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit on this machine?

    I'll see if I can get 64-bit Service Pack 1 (on USB!) to try for my next attempt.

    I left the PC at work, while I wouldn't rest up all night trying to get this to work.

    Thank you!

    I checked the specification for your laptop and it was delivered with preinstalled Win7 64-bit Home Premium so I recommend you to reinstall Win7 64-bit. It is fully supported and all the drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Please note that you need drivers for Satellite U840 PSU4SE.

    Here, you can also download RAID driver to load before starting the installation of Win7. I imagine that without this driver drive HARD will not appear. Download and save to USB key.
    Generally installing Win7 on this machine should not be a big deal. I did it on U940 without any problem.
    When external ODD is connected start Notepad and press F12. Choose the CD/DVD as first boot device and confirm with the button enter. I assume you are using the original installation of the Microsoft Win7 disc, right?

    Disc should be read and the installation should begin. When you see that the disc is not recognized SATA/RAID load driver and continue with the installation. Create the C partition and choose as location for the installation of the OS. I can't imagine that you will have some problems with it. On my machine, that it worked perfectly.

    When Win7 is completely installed, you begin with the installation of drivers, tools and utilities. Stuf all install them as follows:
    Windows 7 SP1 of Win7
    Chipset SW installation utility
    Intel Management Engine Interface
    Intel driver
    AMD display driver
    Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver
    Synaptics Touch Pad Driver
    Intel USB3.0 driver
    IRSTCreator
    Alcor Micro Card Reader
    Technology of quick start Software Intel
    Conexant Audio driver
    SRS Premium Sound
    LAN driver
    Wireless LAN driver
    Filter driver package Realtek Bluetooth
    Intel Wireless Display
    Bluetooth monitor
    Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba
    TOSHIBA Value Added Package
    TOSHIBA Web Camera Application
    PatchFiles PCIIDEREG - 1.2
    PatchFiles TosVolRegulator_1.1

    I hope that everything will be OK.

  • Replacement of HDD on Satellite U840-10R

    Hello

    I currently have a problem on my computer (Satellite U840 - 10R Reference: PSU4WE-00E017FR).

    The SSD (32 GB) from my hard drive part seems to be broken. I can't activate the SSD feature in the Intel software or I am in big trouble, so I disabled it. However, I can still use my computer because the part of the HARD drive (500 GB) is ok and the system.

    My question: is it possible to take all the drive of my computer and put a new SSD a place?

    How is it? This is similar to a 2.5 HDD classic?

    Would what kind of interface I find him inside? (Sata 3?)

    Thank you

    I don't know how old is your machine, but if the warranty is still valid I think you should contact Toshiba service and ask for replacement. Warranty will cover the costs.

    In any case, this 32 GB SSD's with mSATA type slot multi-level (MLC) cell. On Google you can see what it looks like. Generally, replacement should not be problematic but if don't have experience with computer laptop disassembly you shouldn't do it alone.

    Is that SSD is placed directly under the lid and place between RAM and WLAN card.

    Hello

    > Original driver here on the TOSHIBA page... is too old... and mae AMD driver problem...

    I put t know how help you buddy the point is that the graphics card driver that is available on the page of the Toshiba driver is modified for mobile use and its recommended by Toshiba.
    Usually, you use this driver to make sure that the correct feature for laptop.

    Of course, you can try to use the other graphics card drivers, but in some cases, different version could lead to small different questions: in this case > problem with brightness control.

    However, you can try to install the graphics driver AMD/ATI driver Toshiba UE page but check the driver released for other series of laptop. You might get a more recent version of the driver.

    Brightness last but not the least similar problems could be value added Package update (for Win 7), but also the BIOS update (if available)

  • Satellite U840 - missing keyboard driver / Toshiba accessibility

    I have a Satellite U840 - 10 M, Windows 7 64 bit

    I could find/download the drivers for the mouse, so that pad working again as it should.

  • Satellite U840 10 m - memory upgrade

    Hello

    I don't know if I'm in the right place because all other threads are videos with a response, and it is a question. But if I'm not, please point me to the right place.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U840 10 M with 4 GB of RAM and I want to move to 8 GB. Can someone tell me where I can find information about how to install an additional memory module?

    Thank you
    Gonçalo

    Hello

    You can use DDR SDRAM 4 GB modules III memory SO-DIMM 204-pin
    You can use the modules of DDR3 1333 MHz or 1066 Mhz
    But the speed of the memory depends on FSB (front side bus)
    If the FSB would support only 1 066 Mhz, 1333 Mhz modules would be clocked down.

    Upgrade is tricky, because all covered plastic at the bottom of the unit must be removed. His guarantee of 13 live. If you need to remove all 13 screws to remove the cover and access the memory.
    As far as I know you can lose the warranty, remove the cover and would therefore ask a technician to do this work for you.

  • Re: Satellite C850 - replacement HARD drive dead, install OS

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C850 with a completely dead hard drive. I have no Win 7 DVD but I don't have the product key.
    Where should I go from here?

    Hello

    If you have a valid key, you can download the iso file of Windows 7 from Microsoft.
    This image file can be burned to a disc.
    Then you can use this disk to install the Windows 7 and activate with valid key.

    But be careful: If you mean the serial key which is located at the bottom of the device, you would know that those keys cannot be used for activation of Win 7. Its key OEM belonging to Toshiba preinstalled image. I guess that it will not work.

  • Satellite U840-10N - Windows Installation can not see any drive

    Hi all, this is my first post so I hope that I chose the right place to post in.

    I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite u840-10n ultrabook. He joined WIndows 7 Home Premium 320 GB HHD + SSD of 32 GB.

    Even though I prefer Linux, I need Windows because of Microsoft Visual Studio. I downloaded Visual Studio (legally throught dreamspark.com), but it looks like it has some issues. In particular, I can't create any project.

    After searching the Web for this problem, I decided to try reinstalling Windows, hoping that this will solve the problem, and here's the point.

    Installation process of Windows 7 can not find any drive. I looked through the web a lot to solve this problem, even, without understanding.

    I read a lot of other people had the same problem. I tried different ways and I'm about to throw the laptop out the window.

    Is there anyone can help me?

    See you soon,.

    Marco Galassi

    You need to load the SATA driver before you start the installation of the OS. Try it please use the files from http://www.fileswap.com/dl/igfH0jVrap/

    I used it on my Win8 preinstalled satellite to install Win7 64 bit. Copy it to USB and install from there.
    Please post comments.

  • Satellite U840 PSU4SA stuck in an infinite loop of Boot

    I really hope someone can help me.

    My wife's cell phone is stuck in a boot loop which is continuous.

    When you press the power button, the Toshiba logo appears, and then it goes to the screen of the BIOS with the following information;

    "The operating system has not stopped cleanly.
    Reconstructiong Metadata Cache.
    Please do not interrupt this process.

    Reading packaged metadata in memory... Fact.
    Processing the record Delta... 1 "

    .. .and then it dies, returns to the Toshiba logo and repeats. Ad nauseam.

    I tried to start in safe mode by pressing Fn + F12, nothing helps. I took the base of the laptop to try to remove the battery but I am no expert of PC hardware, and I didn't ruin it.

    All specifications are; Toshiba Satellite U840
    Part No. PSU4SA - 015005
    Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium.

    I have Linux Mint, installed on a USB key. I would like to boot from USB (no CD/DVD-RW in this ultrabook) to retrieve the data if possible.

    Should I remove the SSD and HARD drive? I have read a few forums who say that often have Windows 7 on the SSD can cause this problem.

    Hello

    Try this workaround:
    Power of the device and press F8 key up
    Now the advanced boot menu should appear where you can choose between different options.
    I recommend you try the option last good known configuration.
    If this does not work, try the option: my computer repair.
    Here, choose the first option above.

    Of course start from the live Linux USB flash memory stick would allow you to get access to data and back up important files.

  • Satellite U840-10U - keyboard replacement

    Does anyone know how to replace the keyboard of a satellite u840-u by myself? It seeks to be just stuck but do not know about you. In addition, my keyboard is not backlit, it would be replaced by one of the series U backlit?

    Hello

    As far as I know some models of Satellite U840 was equipped with keyboard backlight.
    But to my knowledge, the keyboard backlight requires extra power connector (CN20).

    I guess not all U840 motherboards support this connector, and therefore the upgrade of the keyboard backlight is not possible.

    With regard to the removal of the keyboard:
    Yes I think the keyboard is stuck to the top box by double adhesive. If you would like to disassemble the keyboard in the top box, the keyboard deform and could not be used again.

    In my opinion you should not try to remove anything. You could void the warranty and could damage other parts. I think that this procedure of disassembly must be carried out by an authorized technician.
