  Run quietly and cool when they surf the web, type in Word and under the easy workload like that? It gets very loud and hot runs more demanding programs such as Photoshop CS3?

  Do you recommend this laptop? I tried searching the Internet for customers, but I couldn't find the model U400 - 23M. What are the advantages and disadvantages on this laptop?

  Hi mate

  I n t have the Satellite Pro U400 - 23M, but I m an owner of the Satellite U400-10N.
  I use it in my office all I love this little baby.

  You should know that the U400 has 13.3 display and it of smaller than the P100.
  So you will definitely notice a difference.

  One of my friends said that 13.3 would be too low for him, but for me it s best. I can take everywhere and sometimes I m work while traveling around the world

  So I m very satisfied.

  I ve installed Win XP on this U400 and it s functions perfectly!
  But you can install Vista 64 bit too. The Satellite Pro U400 - 23M uses the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5870, that supports 64-bit

  But note; the U400 is not really a cellphone game hardcore.
  My U400 supports an Intel graphics chip and usually I only use it for office, graphic design (web) applications and web browsing.

• Satellite Pro U400 starts and overheating problems

  Hello

  6 weeks ago, I bought a Satellite Pro U400. Shortly after that I bought, I noticed that the computer overheating. After 1 hour of use, it becomes very hot in the touchpad area, as well in the base of the computer and on the touchpad itself. It is very annoying because I almost burn my fingers with the touch pad.

  The problems began 10 days ago. I had been using the laptop for an hour when it suddenly turned off without notice. Power outage? I don't know Don t. I looked like a sytem of overheating protection. My previous laptop had the same problem. After a few minutes, I was able to turn it back on.

  Then it happened again a few days ago, but it took me 5 minutes to turn on. Yesterday, it happened again, and after 45 minutes without response, I went to bed. In the morning, I was able to turn it on.

  This also happens when wifi is disabled, it is not only a problem with the wifi card, overheating of the system.

  Am I the only one having this problem? I will try to send it back to Toshiba for a replacement or a refund.

  Is this normal in a really new machine?

  Thank you

  First, the warming of the touchpad is normal for almost every laptop, due to construction. Under this, there are the HARD drive and it produces heat. With my last books, and it was not bad, too.
  But really to get so hot?

  Due to the protection against overheating, it is normal that you cannot turn on your laptop immediately.
  But the wireless card is not the device in question, because it's a very small piece of hardware and produce little heat.

  You said, you had this problem with your notebook previous too. Let me ask you, when you use your notebooks? What your table surface there or is there no matter what on that table cloth?

  What I can tell you right now is, to check your locations of fantilation for all dust or maybe you have objects near it so that hot air can not cool.

• Satellite Pro U400-153 - replacement HARD drive

  Hello

  I need help with a new hard drive for the Satellite U400-153. My wife and I have a laptop (canada) U300 as well with a hard drive of 160 GB and a laptop U400-153 (europe) with a 120 GB HARD drive. I wanted to put the larger HARD drive in the U400 but the screws that hold the HARD drive in the laptop are closer together on the 160 GB HARD drive as this 120 GB HARD drive and so I can plug the HARD drive, but I can't replace the casing on the bottom of the laptop. I want to upgrade and put in a new HARD drive, but I can't seem to find any info on weither all readers will be the right size. will be the screws on this form? How will I know

  http://www.ebuyer.com/product/219414
  MK3265GSX Toshiba 320 GB 2.5 "hard drive SATAII 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache - OEM

  Does it matter what company it comes? I thought I got it was weird that the Satellite U300 would not transfer more easily.

  If anyone has any ideas please let me know...

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Theoretically, you can install each HARD drive with SATA 2.5 form factor interface in Satellite Pro U400.

  If you install a new HARD drive in Satellite Pro U400, you must use the old disk cover/case HARD to install.
  I put t know what you mean exactly with that, but maybe you can upload a photo to make it clearer.

  Finally and above all it doesn t matter what company it comes. You can use a Toshiba or another company HARD disk too like Western Digital, Seagate, etc..

• Satellite Pro U400 - BIOS update gone bad

  Hi all!

  I've updated the BIOS on my laptop and something was wrong, just not now a computer screen.

  I went to see the Web for Chris Bios recover.
  Have over 20 versions, but so far without success.

  My biggest problem is: I can't save on floppy disk 2 MB BIOS. All attempts to create a
  Flash or SD ended in failure.

  The laptop is: Satellite pro U400 PSU45E

  Please help me... the laptop reads the floppy in BIOS with little experience (the ones that come with Chris Bios 500Ko - 1000 KB) begins with a normal boot beep signals supposedly provided a definition blocks then baar times short beep and nothing to do...
  There must be something... BIOS BACK small size, emulator USB... BIOS to be torn down, so it is possible in charge from USB, SD...

  Every idea can be useful!

  Thank you very much

  Excuse my English

  f the subject isn't here, please redirect mderatora
  This is my 1 post here

  Hi mate

  Unfortunately if something was wrong during the update of the BIOS, then you won't be able to solve this problem without the help of a technician of the ASP

  I hope that the ROM BIOS module is not too bad
  In the worst case that the mobo is damage but maybe it s not damaged

  However. You must contact a local ASP and must ask for the manipulation of the Fryer!

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro U400 - 15 p hangs after enabling the Realtek RTL8187B WLan card

  Hello

  I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite Pro u400 - 15 p. This notebook is originally without any operating system included. I installed Windows XP Home SP3 on it and downloaded all the drivers from the Web from Toshiba website. Everything works well except the WiFi - RTL8187B.

  Driver has been installed correctly, when I turn the WLAN on everything is always OK, but when I connect to a network wireless Windows XP hangs after some time - without notice or BSOD - and the only thing I can do is to restart the PC holding down the button for 5 seconds.

  I have:
  -installed the latest BIOS (v3.70),
  -installed the last version of drivers available (v6.1150.1112.2008)
  -tried how it works on Vista Home Basic - it does not either, but on Vista only connection must be reset.

  I searched on the web (perhaps not all), including this forum, but I was unable to find a solution.
  Now I am seriously considering warranty claim, please help me to avoid that it ;)

  Hello

  It's really strange.
  Are you sure that this happens because of the WLan card activated 100%?
  I mean there could be another reason for this gel

  I'm U400 too and I m running Win XP and Vista without problem!
  At that time, I m using WiFi and everything works ok

  I think it s not a Wlan related question, but there must be another reason why this laptop locks maybe a problem of RAM or something like that.

• Satellite Pro U400 - Vista boot failure

  My 2nd nine Satellite Pro U400 (first a HARD drive failed after 1 week!) now does not start on Vista.
  Works very well for 4 weeks with upgrade original Vist Basic to Ultimate and Office 2007.

  Today on the switch on the Toshiba bar logo (with go to Setup etc.) started then replaced by Microsoft 'bar', then replaced by the arrow of the Mouse/touchpad.
  Mobile arrow on the screen of the mouse, but then nothing else, boots.

  Tried all modes of security and same problem.

  Ideas to please or do I have a 2nd 'lemon '!

  Hmm. I don't know if this problem could be related to upgrading from Vista Basic to ultimate, but nothing is impossible m.

  I think the HARD drive is not the problem as you can still start the OS startup.
  OK, the OS crashes, but if the HARD drive would be dysfunctional, then you should be able to see the 'bar' of Microsoft.

  So for me, it looks like something wrong with the operating system and therefore the use of the recovery CD would be desirable.

  Using the recovery CD would format the HARD drive, but unfortunately I really t see any other possibilities for the laptop running again.

  Good luck

• Are 64-bit OS drivers available for Satellite Pro U400 PSU45E

  I am looking for a Pro U400 PSU45E-00D005EN, which comes with 3 GB of RAM.
  The specs say it can take up to 8 GB, which is something that I would like to upgrade to.

  I run a large number of virtual machines on my machine for purposes of development and support.

  Anyone know if Toshiba allow 64-bit drivers the U400 that I need a 64-bit to support all Windows operating system that is more than 3.2 Gb of RAM.
  If not, is there a repository that anyone uses?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I think the Vista 64 bit drivers will be available by the Satellite Pro U400.
  Vista OS 64-bit drivers are available for another series of Toshiba and I don t see why the pilots shouldn't t be available satellite Pro U400 too many serious reasons.

  But the satellite Pro U400 seems to be very new series and I think it will take some time until that pilots will be released.

• The update of the BIOS on Satellite Pro U400?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 (PSU41E) running Windows 7 x 64 and I try to update the BIOS to version 4.70 to 4.00.

  Whenever I try to do it from Windows using WinPhlash which comes with the download on the Toshiba site it seems to freeze when you try to Flash the new BIOS.
  I connected as the local administrator, tried to use other programs flash and even tried to do from a USB flash drive with no luck.

  Can someone please help me and explain how do I update the BIOS?

  Hello

  > tried to use other flash programs
  Never use other flash programs! In the worst case, you could damage the ROM module and then it must be replaced. Use only the program flash Toshiba that is tested and designed for laptop and the version of the BIOS.

  The update of the BIOS program is also designed for Windows, it s a Windows Update program.

  Satellite Pro U400 wasn t comes with Windows 7 so I guess you did your own installation. Value added package is required for the update of the BIOS program and can be downloaded on the European driver of Toshiba download page where is your laptop model:

• Satellite Pro U400-18 needs - Win8 drivers - microphone does not work

  I HAVE a PORTABLE Satellite Pro U400-18 a PSU45E computer AND I INSTALLED WINDOWS 8 64 bit BUT I can't FIND the DRIVERS WINDOWS 8 FOR MY MICROPHONE. (AUDIO DRIVERS)

  PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP? Thank you

  There is no special driver for microphone.
  Audio driver controls the microphone and the noise.

  By the way: what mic do you mean? The intern who belongs to the webcam?
  Only the microphone is working correctly by using an external headset?

• Satellite Pro U400-130 - Conexant and 'Stereo Mix' in question

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-130 (downgraded from Vista to XP) with the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 "audio card" installed.

  Although this seems to support HD audio, I can't find any option to use or activate the "Stereo Mix" option in the Windows console. I tried a few settings to registry and some different drivers, but so far, the option remained absent.

  I know this forum and other comments on the net that Conexant audio cards do not support the stereo mix, but I was wondering if someone could confirm that this is certainly the case for SmartAudio 221?

  Similarly, anyone know of another method to record the sound 'as heard' on the computer? So Far, the options appear to be a) buy an external sound card, or b) connect the plug headphone mini-jack on the mic with a cable jack.

  After using a p3500 old Portege of 8 quite happy with this function (actually pretty basic), it is very disappointing to find that this card cannot support it.

  See you soon,.
  Select this option.

  > I can't find any option to use or activate the "Stereo Mix" option in the Windows mixer
  > I know this forum and other reviews on the net that the Conexant sound cards may not support stereo > Mix, but I was wondering if anyone could confirm this is certainly the case for SmartAudio 221?

  I can confirm this because I have a laptop (NOT from Toshiba one) that was equipped with the Conexant audio chip and the other laptop (Toshiba Satellite a series has) that supports the Realtek audio chip.

  The machine with Realtek audio chip contains stereo mix and the other non-Toshiba unit that supports the audio chip Conexant does not support the stereo mix

  As far as I know the update of the driver won't help you because it looks like a hardware limitation of chip Conexant!

  However, thanks for the info about the Virtual Audio Cable tool.
  I think I'll try it next time

• I need to replace the battery and AC adapter of the Satellite Pro U400-160

  I have a Satellite Pro U400-160.

  I need to replace the battery and the charger of my Toshiba, but I am wary about compatibility issues.

  Any battery for Satellite Pro U400 is suitable for mine?
  As I can't find which batteries are specifically suitable for my computer.

  (For example: is this a: http://www.amazon.es/Bater%C3%ADa-Toshiba-Satellite-U400-11V-7800mAh/dp/B0051A9Y88/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1366885340&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=satellite+pro+u400?)

  Is there a quick way to check if a battery / charger are compatible?

  Each battery and adapter you get from Toshiba has specific part number. All you have to do is use this same part number and order. You should be able to find on the internet.
  You can also get compatible parts you are ordering by the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.

  By the way: all U400 models have the same construction and the similar specifications then all the batteries specified for U400 can be used on your U400-160.

• Satellite Pro U400 - 150 - display has stopped working

  Hello guys,.

  yesterday I used to turn on my laptop (Satellite Pro U400 - 14) and it worked fine but after 1 minute my screen stopped working. I tried to restart the PC, and it worked OK again. But I turn on my laptop today and it didn t work at all. Everything is OK, PC works fine, everything is good, but only the display is black.

  I Don t know what happened with my laptop. :/

  Is there anyone who knows the answer to this problem?

  Thanks for all your answers.

  > Everything is OK, PC works fine, everything is good, but only the display is black.
  Of course, this isn't all right if nothing appears on the screen

  Connect an external monitor to check if you would be able to see something on the screen?
  Do this! Usually you should use the FN + F5 to alternate between the monitor internal and external.
  If this is not possible and nothing could be seen on the 2nd monitor, the graphics card problem can cause this.

• Satellite Pro U400-13 a - starting problems

  I have a Satellite Pro U400 13A running Windows XP Pro and have startup problems.

  The computer was working well until that last Wednesday when I modified the settings of advanced management power in how he reacted to the closing of the lid [hibernate] or pressing the power [on hold] button. Then, I closed the lid that I had to leave in a hurry.

  About 2 hours later, I opened the lid to take what I was doing and to a complete stop, but I got a partial summary leading to a bluescreen with the logo "XP" just to the right of Center and no home screen or directly in the Windows desktop as expected. Then, the computer does nothing.

  Pressing ALT + DEL shows that both operations are underway - "Windows logon" and "Connection", but the selection does nothing.
  I left the computer up to 6 hours, in the hope that it was a lengthy process that prevented it go further but still the same blue screen rest.

  I forced a shutdown by pressing the power and then restarted in the start menu [Safe Mode etc.].
  According to the boot option I then select [I tried all the] bothers me on the same position that I started with - blue screen with "XP" logo.

  I don't have a recovery disk, nor do the recovery option of disk in the advanced boot menu. I am at a loss.
  I sent the problem to technical support Toshiba but no response.

  What are my options?

  Thank you

  Sean

  > I don't have a recovery disk, nor do the recovery option of disk in the advanced boot menu. I am at a loss. I sent the problem to technical support Toshiba but no response.

  Seems you have to reinstall new OS.
  If you don t have disks or functional HARD drive recovery option, then I would recommend ordering the disc from here:

  Then you can reinstall the OS in order to get the workbook

  Hello

  I think it is just a software problem (Boot Manager).
  Try to repair the operating system by using HARD disk recovery;
  Press F8 why portable power.
  Then choose fix my computer, then choose disk HARD recovery.

  If this is not possible, order the disk recovery from here:
  http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  Then, you will be able to reinstall the OS using the recovery disk
