U400 noises

I recently bought the u400 and noticed that whenever he wakes the optical drive makes a lot of noise (sounds like it is a disc) - this is true for when I turn on the laptop as well. Is there a cause for this or is this normal?

Hi Acui,

It is normal for a DVD player 1-2 dry started rattling resets automatically mechanically.

But if she "made a lot of noise" maybe something broken, please call the Support Center...

    Hello

    I guess that's not happed running the laptop on battery only. Right?

    I think that this issue is released to a grounding problem.
    I read different forums on this kind of question it.
    Usually use the 3 cord power cable should help get rid you of this noise.

    In your case I would recommend asking for cord 3 power cable (maybe you need another adapter that supports the 3-wire power cord) to a Toshiba authorized maintainer.

  • Satellite U400 - big noise from cooling modules

    Hello

    bought a few months ago Toshiba Satellite U400 and everything was perfect, and I bought it just because I don't like the sounds.
    When I surf the net I love that he's quite, but these last 5 days he began to ring.

    Toshiba U400 works and it should be for many 'Air' on the side and its just all the time, even if I open IE or MSN or anything like that either, and before she just made some time, but now he often does.

    Please help me because it's very embarrassing and it sounds too, and I don't like it, why this departure to East happened now and not before? and what I can do about it?

    thnx.

    Hello

    What you can do?
    Well, first you must make sure your modules cooling holes are free of dust.
    I recommend to use the jet of compressed air to remove dust of grids and cooling fans.
    In most cases the dust prevents the flow of air that causes a higher temperature and therefore the propellers would turn faster.

    Secondly, you can change the settings to more battery as energy saver.
    If you are using Win XP, then you should check the Toshiba Power Saver.
    Here, you can assign the CPU, the speed of treatment and performance at a lower level of cooling

    Hello

    It looks like a problem of button touchpad mechanics.
    I think in your case only a replacement of touchpad button would be a real option

    What do you think of this opinion?

    I think that using ASP is necessary and therefore, you must contact the ASP in your country for a test of touchpad

    But is it really so annoying problem? I mean the technician replace it but you will have to send the laptop and have to wait a while until this problem could be solved.

  • Satellite Pro U400-11V - Sharp noise when starting with connected screen

    Hello

    We received 5 x computers laptops Satellite Pro U400-11V, are excellent, with one exception:

    When you start (it happens on all of them) with a screen VGA monitor plugged in, a high beep is played from what looks like the speaker system. It occurs just before the first splash screen windows.

    Once the windows login screen is displayed a monitor can be connected to any problem & works very well.

    What can I check? I have had a look but do not find all the tracks so far, where this post.

    Thank you
    -A

    Perhaps you are meaning that the beep POST (Power on self test)?

    The laptop still sounds if the POST has been successfully passed.

    Parts of the motherboard will be verified during POST, and if everything is ok, a beep is displayed.

    If something would be a mistake, the laptop will not start and different beeps would appear.

    There is no special driver for microphone.

    I have had several headphones with microphone and taken headphones 3.5 and the laptop just will not detect them. I tried to disable the internal sound system, or just the MIC internal, but not luck.

    The internal MIC is a (stronger if the external microphone is plugged) whirring background noise which means I can't use it for work.

  • Re: My laptop makes a lot of noise

    Hi, my name is Akram, I come from the United States of America.

    I got this Toshiba laptop last year, I have all the details it s bought in the UK and sold in Saudi Arabia.
    Recently, since a month since my laptop makes a lot of noise can be the fan or the transformer.
    I'm a medical student, I t really know.

    The noise is so boring that I put t carry the laptop to the library or College. Everyone in my class knows once I have started using my laptop if I take it, irritated by all the comments made by my friends. I took the laptop for repair, somehow, I browsed your site and received your Toshiba repair depot.

    As I was in warranty until last week, I went to computer services of DATA VISION, 39th street, New York City, but to add to my problem the people he said he just cleaned up and said what he of done. But the problem is the same.

    I had to go again, then he said that all laptops Toshiba make these noises. Isn't annoying to know this?
    If it true s all Toshiba laptops make these noises, I beg you literally.

    Please, make not of the more portable, it s really annoying to know and just Fellows try to convince me.
    Nothing is managed best by Toshiba. I'm if unfortunate and disturbing why buy it.

    There is no management what so ever.
    Thanks I hope someone will never correct the problem, you can contact me on my mail id '[email protected] or [email protected] '.

    Hi mate

    Welcome to our community of small notebook

    Firstly if you are talking about a Toshiba laptop then you should post some details about your laptop. Who needs to know which model you have?

    Second, I don't know what sound you hear you noise which is create by module cooling fans?

    Just a comment in this regard:
    > As I was in warranty until last week, I went to computer services of DATA VISION, 39th street, new york city, but to add to my problem people there said he just cleaned and said its done. But the problem is the same. I had to go again, then he said that all laptops Toshiba make these noises.

    I put t know if it s your first computer laptop or not, but if you're talking about the noise created by the cooling fan, then you must know that you would hear on all laptops cooling fans!
    If the heat dissipation is higher, then the cooling modules must run faster and so the noise could be stronger. But you can also reduce noise if you define the CPU and modules cooling to a lower return. This may be down to the energy economy of Toshiba.

    I have had three different notebooks from Toshiba in the past. Now I have Satellite U400 and I'm happy. Of course, I can hear the fans running but that's nothing unusual.

  • Satellite U400-119 integrated webcam malfunction

    Hello everyone, hope you can help me with this problem.

    I have a * Toshiba Satellite U400-119 * with built-in webcam which worked GREAT until one day she decided to give me a black screen everytime I turned on it. It's all quite normal, but instead of me show ME on cam window when I'm in front of it, it is all black. However, when I take a snapshot with the camera it gives me a picture with me on this subject with all the background as it works perfectly well. However, in mode Webcam live he keeps gives me a black screen.

    I don't think that there is nothing wrong with the lens if not that the instant test not would not have worked. I should also mention that I tried to record a video with her and it is for me the noise but the screen remains black too...

    Put except that I tried to update the version of webcam, but it seems that I already have the latest version (UVC 1.7.175.0123).

    I'm not very computer literate, but I'd appreciate it if you could try and help with simple terms ;)

    Thank you for your time.

  • Satellite U400-11U: no sound with HDMI output

    Hi all

    I am the proud owner of a model of satellite U400-11U PSU40E running with Windows Vista.
    Recently, I tried to view a video on my TV. To do this, I used the HDMI output of the laptop connected to the TV.

    I took care to connect the cable to the TV and only after to the laptop.
    Then use the quick access key (Fn + F5), poster image on the TV.
    Unfortunately, there was no noise.

    After some googling, I discovered that I needed to activate the HDMI audio output via the control panel of the sound.
    Unofrtunatly, when viewing, I have found no output Audio HDMI, but only speakers and another exit (whose name I forgot--sorry).

    I tried to update the video and HDMI audio drivers (I noticed that there is a HDMI audio driver in the perpipherals system, which was considered 'work' of Vista), but it changed nothing.

    So, what can I do to activate the audio output over HDMI?

    Hello

    Please see this FAQ from Toshiba:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401B00001R01.htm

    You will find an instruction how to solve this problem... it s about Qosmio G30 but I think it should work on U400 too...

    The point is that you must set the S/PDIF audio output by default!

    And don t forget to RESTART the laptop after the change was made.

  • MIC not working not not on Equium U400

    I have a laptop Equium U400 and I was never able to get the microphone working properly. I'm running Vista 32 bit that was installed initially.

    The problem is that when you try to use Skype and using the call of the laboratory, the microphone does not pick up anything and Skype says it is very quiet.

    Then, I went to the microphone settings in Vista and put the volume to 100% and boost to + 20, but once more quiet, but if crank you the volume up you can hear the slightest noise. Crank the gain up to + 40 and you get all kinds of noise. I checked Skype volume settings and set it to 100% but no joy.

    I tried to reinstall the drivers for the webcam and sound using the drivers on the toshiba site, but nothing has changed.

    I wonder if anyone else has had problems or if anyone knows what is likely to be wrong, or my microphone might be broken?

    Hello

    The internal mic belongs to the internal webcam.
    The microphone settings can be changes in the software of the webcam.

    It's why start the camera wizard got to settings-> Audio tab and set the audio volume to max.

  • Buzz of noise in the tempo switch

    My song has 4 different tempos. Every time that happens, occurs a humming noise. If I get all tracks FX behind it disappears. How can I keep the delay, but not the buzz?

    Thank you y´all.

    Use automation for on/off switch of the delays to and after each change of tempo.

    If that kills too late in the face of that time, and then introduce a Gain ahead of every delay, automate the Gain to cut admission to the delay when changing the tempo. Who will cut the whole track, however.

    Hello Jimmy10 66,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to follow your alerts, and I want to help you get your work again.

    Before we get too far, it's always a good idea to check that your 'secret' button just above your volume controls is not engaged. If you see that the yellow indicator go ahead and switch to the other position to turn it off.

    Alternatively, you can drag up from the bottom of the screen and make sure that the control of "do not disturb" is disabled.

    If those who are for the time off, go ahead and restart your phone and retest alerts. If the behaviour continues or if you encounter any problems, please reach out again and let the community know what other steps you have tried. The entire community is here to help.
