• 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.

• Satellite Pro A60 - lines on screen

  Dear Sir

  I got a laptop here soon, who's in trouble with the screen. The screen displays certain lines, how the resolution is lower, how less lines there. The problem started from the moment wherever the person to clean the laptop with an air compressor.

  I guess that the motherboard or Vga was 'attacked '. Can someone please give me some advice?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Your guess might be good.
  Either there is something wrong with the GPU (graphics chip) chip or the computer laptop faulty display.

  This can be checked easily. You must connect to the laptop for external monitor and should test the output of the screen.

  If the same lines will appear on the second monitor and then the graphics card should be responsible for this issue. Otherwise, the internal LCD laptop could be faulty.

  In both cases, the service provider authorized in your country should be contacted.

  Good luck and have a great week ;)

• Re: Satellite Pro L100 - lines on screen

  Hello

  I am looking at a Satellite Pro L100 and there are lines from top to bottom on the screen. These are very thin, but boring. IN some cases, the screen is totally blank.
  The lines come and go when I move the screen back. Can you advise?

  Thank you

  Hi csgwasteman,

  I think Al - eX is right. This sounds like a broken LCD cable and it must be exchanged. But for other diagnostics, you can connect an external monitor. You may notice the same problem there? If this is not the case, replace the LCD cable.

  You can order such a cable a certified maintainer:

• Satellite L500 verticle lines on screen

  There is something seriously wrong with my laptop. I bought this toshiba L500 satellite for my sister a few months ago, and this problem happened since it was purchased. I never discovered the problem until I recently got the laptop for myself. Initially I thought it was something to do with the battery (recently the battery warning came up saying that I needed to replace. He has since disappeared).

  For some reason, the screen randomly between wobbly then turn into colored vertical lines. It happens at random intervals so I can't say when it will happen then and it is not serious what I'm doing on the laptop, it is and the only way I can get rid of it is to force the reboot.

  The thing I want to know is if it's a major problem or something that can easily be fixed? Warranty will cover it or should I start saving for a new?

  > The thing I want to know is if it's a major problem or something that can easily be fixed?
  This could be a serious hardware problem.
  Have you noticed the same vein on the external monitor.
  If so, these lines could be linked to a faulty graphics chip.
  In this case the motherboard must be replaced.

  > Warranty will cover it or should I start saving for a new?
  Well, if the warranty is valid, then the laptop must be fixed free of charge.
  Generally, the standard warranty is valid 12 months from the date of purchase of long

  By the way; Toshiba ASP (authorized service provider) in your country should be able to solve this problem.

• Satellite Pro P100: Lines from screen to screen

  Hello people wonder if you can help me... actually wonder if I'm in the right forum... I think it's a problem of monitor not a software problem...
  As of late I have vertical lines that appear on my screen... very thin and in pretty colors, light blue, mint green and purple.

  I get about once every 2 weeks or if a new... No idea if it's a software or hardware problem... a computer kid told me it has to do with the conection labtop screen? If someone can just tell me to download a driver and that's all the gonne be ok. would make me a very happy man...

  Also, I read in this forum that the new bios 4.30 fan pending issues. Should I wait with the download?

  Thank you

  Patric

  To exclude your problem is hardware related, try reinstalling display drivers.
  I don't know if the new version of the BIOS of your laptop has some unresolved issues fan, but if you are not sure, weather to install the upgrade to update or not, just leave it.

  But as I read your message, so far, I think the little computer is right, and there might be a problem with the connection to the screen. Or it could be another display error or problem of graphics card.

  If update display drivers brings no improvement, I suggest you should contact local ASP, as seems to be the hardware problem.

• Satellite U400-22n and Win7 - screen freezes after 5 min

  Hi, this is my first post

  I ve bought a new U400 with preinstalled Vista last week. 2 days ago I ve upgraded to windows 7 32 bit professional when I looked at install windows prompted me that it requires a full install, so I did install a normal full, windows 7 installed normally.

  Now my screen freezes after 5 min and windows go black s and restarts after 3-5 min, I ve downloaded all the drivers from the Toshiba site I ve used the auto detect and installed the drivers one by one and tested if restarting stop s, I reinstalled windows now 4 - 5 times returned my copy to the store and got a new copy of windows DVD , it s the same.

  A Please someone any advice for me. Like the store I ve this perch will not upgrade to windows 7 for me.

  Hi mate

  The U400-22n seems to belong to the series of PSU44E.
  There is a special BIOS for Win 7 32 bit 4.80 - WIN32.

  Please update it all first!

  In addition, the unit supports the Chipset Mobile Intel GL40 Express and graphics card.
  The latest graphics card driver can be downloaded from the Intel page

• Where can I find drivers for my Toshiba Satellite U400 BACK?

  I'm looking for the BACK drivers for a card Intel Pro Wireless (Familly 3945ABG...) and the BACK drivers for a marvel yukon 88E8072.

  My Toshiba U400 cards are not activated on the BACK and I need them to establish a link with my ghost server.

  I can only imagine that you can find it on the support site for the card manufacturer.
  As you know Toshiba doesn't support such things.

• Satellite P100-429 lines on screen

  My P100-429 has and develops vertical lines (currently the 6 or 7 depending on the color of the screen) of different colors. These lines are pointed and seem to go up and down. The machine is based Office thus has no approximate service. Any ideas please?

  These lines appear on the external screen?
  Did you check that?

  If this is not the case, connect the external monitor to the laptop and see if the same question is visible on the second monitor.
  If so, then your problem could be related to a dysfunction of graphics chips.

  It would be the worst case because in most cases, the entire motherboard must be replaced. :(

  Good bye

• Satellite U400 will not usually start upward

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-217 (PSU44E) running Windows 8.

  Worked fine until a week ago. Now, when I turn it on, the lights are, there is a memory hard drive spin (1 second) - and then nothing. Above the keyboard lights stay on, but the screen remains black.

  I read a use Reset where you take the battery and the power cable on and press and hold power for 30 seconds, then plug the power cable in, starting at the top, stop, reinsert the battery and start again.

  However, the machine still primer not after 30 seconds the hold button. I always get just the lights and nothing else.

  However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out all 30 or more.

  It's boring - ideas or suggestions very welcome.

  Thank you very much

  > However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out every 30 or more.

  In my opinion, you should first check the HARD drive
  A friend of mine installed Win 8 on the new computer laptop from another manufacturer
  After a while that the laptop will not start I thought its something wrong with the card mother, but in the end it was just a HARD drive failure

  To be honest I n don't know if his only problem disk HARD but in my opinion, the HARD drive is one of the first pieces that need to be checked
  OK, in the worst case, it could be possible that dysfunction of this mobo.

• Satellite U400-135 overheating

  Hello

  A few weeks back I bought the new Toshiba Satellite U400-138 and now I feel it is a lower design due to numerous complains that I found one here in the forum support or by people who have tried to deal with this series.

  Fist of all the overheating problem becomes not affordable as I'm about to lose my fingers due to the extreme heat comes from the lower level of touch pad! In addition it usually takes more than 7 minutes to get the login screen of windows while beginning to the top of the window and when you access the window continues to display the CPU usage almost 100% long just by clicking the internet explorer, so I can't do anything except wait (it's killing slow) and when I compare with my old P4 desktop , according to me, how I was wrong when I decided to go to the U-400!

  Today I've decided to take the laptop to the Toshiba dealer and when I was there, I tried to touch the lower part of the availbel for similar in the showroom model and it was very hot and when I asked the sales man there he informed me that there are many customers reported the same complain so I referred me to their service center for inspection and I'm so annoying now because my new laptop will be served after only two weeks and I think that this model is a design of lower quality and the only way to get rid of this problem to get the same replaced by something else?

  your valuable comments is highly apprciated.

  Salvation will be

  I have a U400 too. It s a U400 which belongs to the series of PSU40E.
  I use two BONES; Vista and XP.

  Initially the Vista started slowly, it was not too slow but slower than Win XP.

  I studied a bit and found a solution;
  First of all, I discovered that many background processes and apps have loaded early in the boot process in MSCONFIG, you can find these applications.

  I disabled some unnecessary programs (for me) and the notebook starts up much faster.

  Moreover, I noticed that Tempro update tool helped me a lot.

  So please check these two proposals.
  I don't know that it could help you...

  Regarding the temperature more high touchpad;
  Well, my touchpad is also hotter than the rest of the cover of the laptop but is nothing unusual because cooling modules are placed under the touchpad and the left side is warmer due to the dissipation of the heat of this side of the laptop

  If you shouldn't be worried; It is not unusual

  Bye & have a nice day

• 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):

• Satellite U400 - problems with the Panel, the touch and media keys

  Hello, I have the TOSHIBA Satellite U400. Everything's a lot but I have some concerns.

  1. the touch screen (media buttons on the top of the keyboard - mute-media-play/pause-stop-rewind-forward-) turn
  the computer running if you touch! How to stop that from happening? I only need to use the POWER button.
  Start button / stop is sufficient.

  2. press MUTE on the touchscreen, no its not really "mute" or "disable." Instead, she don't
  is the Tower the White Glow Light for all Touch Panel ON and OFF (including the word "SATELLITE").
  How can I make it works?

  3. When you connect to Windows, I can choose between the password or RECOGNITION of FACES. How do I
  Assign the FACIAL RECOGNITION only without having to choose it?

  Thank you

  SAL :)

  Hello Sal

  I played around with this stuff and here is my opinion on this subject.

  (1) as far as I know there is nothing strange. I noticed the same thing on notebooks too. For example, if you want to listen to music, you can simply press PLAYER button (3rd from left) and begins at will for laptop and open windows media player. If you want to go on the internet you can simply press INTERNET ((deuxieme button on the left). Laptop will be put into construction and Internet Explore will be open.
  So there is nothing strange, and even get on my Satellite P200 and brand-new Satellite A300.
  To be honest I don't know if this can be disabled. I'll ask a friend of mine. It is monster of Toshiba and maybe he knows more about it. But this behavior is certainly not strange.

  If you want to use only the power button and then press power button to start. Do not touch the other.

  (2) Please check s operating manuals and look for info on this button. AFAIK it is clearly written Mute or LED on / off depending on the model you purchased, press this button to mute the sound or turn on or off the illumination of the logo of the brand, touchpad and buttons.
  So please do not mix anything. This button has no two options. On your model, you can disable illumination only. It is the same on my laptop. So there is nothing wrong with your laptop.

  (3) you also misunderstood this feature. If face recognition is activated the two options will be displayed. If you do not want to enter a password you can use the option of face recognition. But what you will do if for some reason your face may not be identified correctly. How you want to connect?

  So, please don't be irritated by these things, everything is OK.

• Satellite U400-03 s - how downgrade from Vista to XP?

  Hi guys,.

  I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite U400/03 s with pre-installed Vista Business and I want to downgrade to Windows XP Professional. My laptop comes with a professional the product for Windows XP Recovery disk, but I don't know how to use this drive as it did not come with serial number.

  Where can I get the serial number? I have to ring Microsoft or Toshiba?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  Sunny

  Hello

  AFAIK the downgrade is fairly easy: just boot from the disk of XP downgrade that was shipped with your laptop and follow the instructions on the screen and that s all you have to do! :)

  You n t need a serial number, if you install the operating system on a disk from Toshiba. It s already configured.
