• Boot Portege M400 problem

  Hello world!

  I had this Portege M400 for nearly 2.5 years and never met with such a problem.

  When I press the power button / stop * HDD led light turns on, then WiFi and then suddenly the HARD drive off * and the rest in this way: (.) Eventually, the Toshiba logo appears at the same time. I thought that problem disc HARD just to know that after 90 degrees my laptop WHAT HDD led start flashing again. Eventually, Windows loads at startup animation it would 'safe' return to normal position and expected to start Windows.

  so, I suppose the problem is somehow related to the accelerometer, is it? I don't get these gels after Windows starts. Currently I have version 3.8 BIOS and installed Windows 7 Pro...

  It's really starting to annoy me - people look at me funny, as I switch my cell phone 90 degrees :-)

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks in advance!

  Best regards
  Jovan

  Hello

  Maybe it has something to do with laptops HDD?
  Maybe the head of HARD drive cannot be moved correctly and the vertical position allows to get the drive moving head again
  Unfortunately, I've never seen such strange behavior for laptop and so I can give you a few personal suggestions.
  In my view, that the HARD drive should be checked at the first maybe the problem could be solved in replacement of HARD drive

• Portege M400 problem with virtualization

  I have problem with VT in BIOS VT is enabled, but Windows 7 do not. I instaled XPmode, but when I try to start I get connect this virtualization is disable. I don't know what I do mus.

  Hello

  What CPU you have in your Portege M400?

  Virtualization is a function of the motherboard (BIOS) * and * processor type. The fact is that not all processors are dematerialising and then you should check the specification on the first Intel page.

• Shutdown in Vista with a Portege M400 problems

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Portege M400 (do not know if it is a matter for the Council of vista or portege support plate, anyway). I installed Vista Express Upgrade a few months ago and everything worked fine for a while.
  But over the last 4 weeks, my laptop seems to have a problem when stopping down. No matter if she's just hibernates or shuts down completely, the computer automatically turns itself after being off for about 5 seconds.
  I have to use the switch to turn it off again (and then it stays off). Any ideas? I haven't changed anything and it could be a hardware problem, but my guess is that it has something to do with Vista ;)

  Thank you

  Hello

  installed some software or tools/applications/updates? Sometimes, a small update can disrupt the entire system and preventing it from functioning. So, just check what has been installed and it may be useful to install the new bios, maybe update all drivers etc... Make sure that everthing is real and up to date.

• Activation of BitLocker on a Portege M400 problem

  I updated my BIOS to version 3.6 and I switch on the TPM on the computer module, but when I tried to turn on bitlocker encryption, I was told that the motherboard could not communicate with the TPM module.

  Anyone who manages to make it work?

  Hello

  I already posted a short statement of Bitlocker.
  I found this useful thread on Bitlocker here:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=23935&MessageID=87849

  You can use the Bitlocker without a TPM, but in this case only, the BONE volume encryption is available.

• Portege M400 - CPU cooling problem

  Last year, when I had used my Portege M400 for 2 years, he started the deadlock occasionally. Sometimes [I couldn't even start it | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjNa8-c2Aro]. With cut and try the method I found the problem. The Spring wire which clasps the CPU radiator, it was with not enough force:

  http://Zorko.ru/assets/files/534/534/170720102589.jpg

  The problem was solvable by Berry to the claws spring begins to apply more force hugging the radiator of CPU:

  Apply a new layer of thermal grease has been useful as well:

  However, the solution works for only a few weeks. And then (especially if it's hot outside) the story begins again.

  Any suggestions how to solve the problem once and for all? Thank you.

  Hi Greendrake,

  It s really great that you are interested in your Portege M400 and you can remove it. It of really not easy and so this cannot be the people with a lot of experience.

  Anyway, as you know here our forum user s only. This means that you can speak with normal people like you and me. I would recommend therefore to contact a service provider authorized in your country. Maybe the guys know this problem or something else or you need a thermal grease special because not all compatible thermal greases all cooling.

  By the way: on the Toshiba site you can find a list of all service providers.

  I hope it helps. :)

• Portege M400 - does not start after a BIOS update

  IHH

  Please help me with my portege M400, I installed a new localized version of Windows XP, then I started to download the drivers from the Toshiba Web site, and the first thing I did was to install the new BIOS update. I don't know what version it was. Then he asked me to restart, after I did the reboot of the device unbootable and I see only an orange flashing :(

  Please how can I reset my old BIOS? Is this the end of my Toshiba?
  I am now in a forign country and there are noToshiba service center near me

  Please is there any similarly to help me

  Hello!

  I think that in this case you must go to an ASP. I put t see another solution for this problem because I think the ROM module has to be reflashed or the card mother completely must be replaced.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported downloads & => find an authorized service provider

  And if you don t find an ASP in your country please contact an ASP in another country. I'm sure they will try to help you.

  Good bye

• Problems of subsequent update on Portege M400 and W7

  I did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my Portege M400 and it looks particularly pretty good.

  However, I do not have a utility to map the buttons (including the one that indicates the landscape/portrait orientation has changed). Who would be on the Toshiba Software Installer for Windows 7 (tsi4win7.exe)? Attempt to run that flashes a dialog box before displaying a second dialog box saying "this device is not manufactured by Toshiba or the BIOS is not Windows 7 compatible. No update will take place."

  I check that the BIOS was not serious for WIndows 7 before making the instalation. Trying to apply the latest version of the BIOS gives an error message "[error] BIOS update is not supported. No support for operating system or service pack is installed. »

  Can anyone help?

  As much I know Portege M400 only is not supported for Win7. If you can not find drivers and tools specific to Toshiba for this model of laptop.
  I'm sorry.

  The only thing you can try is to install stuff for other models supported, in the hope, it works well.

• Picking and Portege M400 displacement causes the crash and locking of the

  I have a new problem with Portege M400, which began a few days ago.

  If I pick it up or move it, then it will crash or lock up. I wonder if anyone has any idea as to what may be the cause of this and what can be done?
  My only guess is to replace the hard drive?

  Thank you
  Greg

  > Turn off accelerometer does not help. Internet research indicates that it is possible a motherboard problem. Replacement motherboard solves problems for about 6 months to a year, then it returns.

  I doubt that it could be a motherboard problem, what the gbaniseter say this happens when it pick up or move the m400, then it will crash or lock up.
  This seems to be a problem of HARD drive and it s nothing uncommon who, after a long period of use of the disk HARD start HARD drive malfunction is a sensitive device and can die because of the physical restraint
  Replace the HARD drive and check if the problem would happen!

• Can Portege M400 - I install SATA2 HARD drive?

  I want to replace my old SATA1 80 GB HD with a new 250 GB HD, but I can not get a proper HD SATA1, are the SATA II compatible with the M400 HDs? Would your recommend a suitable HD?

  Also, I want to install Windows 7 starts as a clean install (to replace the current XP Tablet edition). I seem to remember that there could be problems with getting drivers raid in place first, is this correct?

  Can anyone help please?

  TIA

  Chris

  Hello!

  Disks hard SATA2 will work in Portege M400 because they are compatible downgrade to SATA1. It s the same interface but the theoretical transfer rate is higher. The only difference which s.

  For the installation of Windows 7, you should try the RAID for Vista driver. The Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7.

• Portege M400 little startup

  I have been actively using my Portege M400 for almost 2 years. A few months
  There he began to become less easier to start the
  laptop. When I turn it on, the following occurs:
  * The screen remains black and does not display anything
  * The power LED flashes either yellow or light green
  * The HDD LED flashes once for a 1/10 of a second and remains off, or is not light up at all
  * Sometimes the fan started working very actively and very strong
  The only thing I can do with it is to stop the laptop and try
  Once again. Sometimes it starts after the first attempt, but sometimes I
  you have to try up to 10 times.
  Here's a video showing the behavior described above:
  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjNa8-c2Aro]

  Any ideas that is this all? Maybe I should cleap laptop computer inside, especially the fan?

  It is not easy to say with certainty what the problem is here, but please try to follow:
  Disconnect any external devices connected to your laptop, remove the battery and try to turn it on with power current only.

  Please post the result.

• Portege M400: Where to find Windows Vista 64-bit

  Hello!

  I've owned a Portege M400 for a period of 3-4 months now, and I wonder if there is even one person out there who managed to get this laptop computer working under vista 64-bit.

  I finally got bluetooth drivers to work, after the arrival of drivers available. But the following list does not work or I have not found drivers that work.

  -The buttons below the LCD
  -Accelometer (and all the utilities like screen rotation or to do something about tilting machine)
  HARD disk utility - protection (I installed Vista drivers, but they totally destroyed the machine and I had to restore system did not start after the installation of windows)
  -Fingerprint reader

  And I could live if I couldn't get buttons and accelometer to work, but still it would be great that the computer laptop everything would work.

  I'm starting to lose hope and I am already planning to install pirate Vista 32 bit in this laptop... Because it seems that it was a mistake to buy 64-bit ultimate. Some drivers Toshibas indicates they are pilots 'vista', but they do not yet work with the 64-bit version, which has little frustrating...

  In any case if someone could help me I would appreciate it a lot! Because I'm getting slowly frustrated with this problem with vista 64-bit.

  Thanks in advance

  I really understand you, but there is nothing to see! Toshiba Vista 64-bit drivers are not available on the Toshiba page. Nothing!

  Of course, you can use a Vista 64 bit on laptops, but you will get not all 64-bit drivers. Maybe more later but not at this time!

  So either you will switch back to Vista 32 bit or you need to use this notebook without 64-bit drivers. But this is not recommended

  Greetings
