Wheel of Satellite U400 - 138 Volume - software problem

Hello!

Recently * Toshiba Tempro * suggested I upgrade the bios driver sound (Conexant) and a few other drivers for my Vista. I did and then I noticed that the volume of 'material' control - * volume wheel *-did not work. Still, I have the right volume level control by clicking on the 'volume' icon, but turning the steering wheel left to right and does not affect the volume level. I tried all the options in the Control Panel, but there is simply * no. OPTION for a wheel *.

I thought it broke. BUT: there was a miracle - if the * registry editor * (regedt32.exe) open the wheel _works_ perectly! But if I close it (or even if I click on another window or minimize regedt32) everything is bad - volume stops at the last level, "recalled" my Vista (I have tested hearing music in the background).

That's why I think that:
1. the wheel is working and sending its changes but Vista (or a pilot of its new) does not recognize
2. when the Registry Editor opens these changes are "up-to-date" - so the wheel seems to work. But when the registry editor is not active there is no mechanism for this "update".

All solutions? You know the keys on which registry changes when I turn the volume knob? That I should

Jacek.

PS:
I have the latest drivers for my Satellite U400-138 today (28 January 2009)

Hello

I think that you need to reinstall just the PPV again.
The value contains some applications that control Toshiba media, keys FN and also the Volume indicator buttons.

First, you must remove the old system VAP.
Then clean the registry using a tool like CCleaner, for example.

Then after restarting new install the VAP and reboot the laptop.

  • Satellite U400-138 - how to activate special keys?

    Hello

    the problem for the subject [Satellite U400 - 138 Volume - software problem wheel | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=148001] I found a stupid bug in the software Toshiba Satellite U400-138 special keys. There is no way to fight them!

    In the Toshiba Satellite U400-138 model I have 6 special buttons: drive, CDDVD, and "Play/Pause", "stop", 'rev back', 'rev forw. Using of the * Toshiba Assist * I have control over TWO of them - there is a list of TWO in the bottom of the * settings button * program - I can choose between the drive and CDDVD. In addition, this program do... nothing! I tested if I can open Notepad with this CDDVD button, but I couldn't. The program closes, and even after restarting the touch CDDVD always opens Windows Media Player. * And four other buttons are not active at all! * How can I join a program? Which program is the other 4 button use? They seems interesting, especially with LED lighting for * drive *, but in my opinion * there is no way to use them *!

    Are they useless?

    Any suggestions?

    Jacek.

    They are certainly not useless. Do you really believe that Toshiba will offer unnecessary buttons? ;)

    Have you tested the feature with the factory settings? It works properly with the Toshiba recovery image? I have the same buttons on my Satellite and everything works perfectly. I use Winamp too. No problem at all. So I wonder what you do with your laptop.

    In your ad, I can not even find information what operating system you are using.

  • Satellite U400-138: VPN Service cannot be installed on WiFi.

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite U400-138 with Intel WiFi Link 5100.

    Some companies - such as Cisco and Citrix - use * deterministic Network Enhancer *: a service that allows other services (like VPN) use the computer hardware. And my company uses the Cisco VPN client.

    It is not possible to use the Cisco VPN Client by wireless with my Toshiba Satellite U400-138. The reason is * deterministic Network Enhancer * (DNE). DNE is installed with my card Ethernet Marvell Yukon (no problem), but Intel WiFi Link 5100 does not allow installing DNE. If you open "Network connections", if you look at the 'properties' of each connection after installation of the Cisco VPN client deterministic network (DNE) is only associated with Marvell Yukon. But I can't use VPN on my WiFi.

    I found a solution for Lenovo: [http://www.wfu.edu/~yipcw/lenovo/t400/intel-5100-vpn/ | http://www.wfu.edu/~yipcw/lenovo/t400/intel-5100-vpn/] but unfortunately it back do not work with Toshiba (see images on this Web page!). I think it is * Intel * problem but maybe Toshiba can find a solution?

    I think that this problem DNE may be an issue for other customers of Toshiba as Cisco and Citrix them frequently use in their products. For example, my company have invested to Cisco VPN.

    Kind regards

    Jacek.

    I have an Intel WLan 4965AGN card. But usually it s any WLan card is
    The VPN should work with any connection.

    But using VPN you can get access to some networks in your company, but in my case that other links do not work while the VPN connection is established.

  • Satellite U400-138: RAM works with 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz

    Hello

    I have Satellite U400-138 with 3 GB of RAM (2 + 1 GB sodimm modules)
    I have new kit 2x2gb sodimm-s Corsair PC6400(800MHz)

    When I install new modules, system reported that they are working on 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz,
    Maybe that's the problem BIOS chipset because that support this frequency.

    Help me, what to do, to run new modules on 800 MHz?

    Hey Buddy

    I doubt that it is a BIOS problem.
    The point is that the speed of the RAM can be lowered and locked by the FSB (front side bus)
    If the FSB supports only 667 Mhz then your RAM 800 Mhz will run only at 667 Mhz

  • Satellite U400-138: how to activate Bluetooth in Ubuntu device

    I have a new Toshiba Satellite U400-138.
    This is the version of Centrino with Intel GMA4500HD graphics card and Intel 5100 a/g/n wireless.

    If I understand correctly, the Bluetooth adapter is * turned off by default * and a special * command ACPI * is required to activate it. I use the linux 2.6.27rc8 kernel and it has two drivers - * toshiba and toshiba_acpi *. These cannot be inserted into the 'No Such Device' kernel.

    The reason is probably that these drivers only work with the Toshiba BIOS. This model has a Phoenix BIOS.

    So, how can I activate the Bluetooth market adapter and stop on this model?

    The question is...

    I want to upgrade my portable computer system memory 3 GB DDR2 (800 MHz) RAM to 4 GB of RAM DDR3 (1066 MHz), which is compatible or not?

    Respect,
    enteoana

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should follow specification not Intel and Toshiba. S Toshiba of info is based on own tests and facts.
    So, depending on the specifications of Toshiba for the GM45 Chipset it is clearly written:

    Min(on Board) wheel capacity - DDR2 800 MHz 0 MB / 8 GB max
    Type of extension of memory - DDR2 800 MHz 1 GB/2 GB/4 GB
    Type of module - SO-DIMM

    So if Toshiba write about 800 MHz modules, you must use the modules to them and not faster.
    You may be able to use faster too, but they do not work with the maximum speed, but not going down to 800 MHz.

    If you want to use max RAM amount use recommended and tested 2 x 2 Go DDR2-800 (PA3669U-1M2G).
    Indicated as compatible RAM, 4 GB DDR2-800 (PA3670U-1M4G).

  • Satellite U400-138: can I move the folder of recovery

    Hello

    I just bought my nw laptop Toshiba (U400-138 to be precise).
    It came with Windows Vista Home Premium preinstalled with the possibility to recover the HARD disk. When installing the disk has been partitioned like this:

    C: / 145 GB - Windows Vista
    E: / 150 GB - Data

    The E drive the folder of HARD disk recovery.
    The problem here is that I would use Linux instead of Vista and also I want to re - partition the drive in a different way.

    So here are my questions:

    1.) it is possible to move the folder of disk recovery HARD to separate and perhaps much more small partition (6 GB or more) without doing any harm to its functionality? I want to keep just in case

    2.) I lose my warranty if I install Linux?

    Thx for your replies ;)

    Hello

    (1) If you change the folder or delete file recovery that you will not be able to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive!
    That is why it s is strongly recommended to create a diskette using the creative tool for recovery disk pre-installed Toshiba's own recovery.
    If you create this DVD then you are on the right side and you can change everything on the HARD drive. If something goes wrong, you will be able to restore the operating system using this disk.

    (2) No, you will not lose warranty if install you Linux

  • Satellite U400 - PSU40E Synaptics touchpad problem after the recent update to BIOS

    Toshiba welcome,

    I've tested this in reverse, this is why the statement in the subject as it looks. After upgrading the bios of 3.00 to 3.50 touchpad loses its precision. Very rude and useless its like that.

    I tried different drivers, everything, but the only way to really solve this problem was it downgrade to 3.00 OR uninstall the driver Synaptics completely. Second solution, unfortunately, is unacceptable, because then I lose some features, like click on contact, which I don't use and control.

    Best regards

    Wojtek

    Hey Buddy

    I U400 and the BIOS has been updated to the newest one.
    The touchpad works like a dream. I m using Win XP and Vista and there is NO problems after BIOS update!

    In your case, this may be only a software problem and I think you can use the Toshiba Recovery disk and could reinstall the whole OS from the Toshiba drive

    It is a really radical solution because the whole HARD disk may be formatted, but if the resettlement of these two drivers touchpad didn t help then I think this would be the last solution.

  • Satellite U400 - S00 Wireless connection problem

    I have a Satellite U400, which was lowered to XP Business.
    Wireless networking seems to work only intermittently.
    I can see several netoworks available and that you have selected the office, wireless access Point to connect automatically. It is the only network that I listed for to connect you.

    The laptop often fails to connect the access point, often trying to connect to another nearby wireless device unsecured.
    If I manually select the office network and click 'Connect', it asks for the key wireless (I have enter) and then it connects briefly, gets an IP via DHCP and disconnects quickly about 10 seconds later.

    If I repeat the reconnection attempts, sometimes I am able to keep the connection for several hours, but if I stop and restart I have to repeat the same procedure. I downloaded what I think is the most up-to-date intel wireless drivers, but I would appreciate a pointer to the most recent.

    I'm not using the ConfigFree, just the menu of Windows Wireless configuration base (Zeroconf service)

    This is driving me crazy. Help, please.

    Hello

    I found this thread and I would like to my experience with the U400.
    Yes, I have a U400 and I installed Win XP Pro.
    I have an Intel WLan card and I already updated the driver WLan to the State.

    I found new drivers here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    I must say that my WiFi works without problem! I have the latest version of the BIOS and I never noticed any problems.

    I must also say that I have don t use tools of any additional WLan configuration but ONLY options specific to Windows and its ok.
    I have disabled the Intel ProSet utility Msconfig and it does not load at the beginning.

    I have configured my OS and laptop computer ONLY connects to my wireless private network.
    Of course if my private Wlan is not available it automatically connects to a WLan unsafe in my range.

  • Satellite Pro U400 and fingerprint software problem

    Hello!
    Since a long time, my Fingerprint Software gave problems.
    About 2 days after receipt of the computer, I started to get an error message saying "Specified Database not found" or "Hardware not found footprints" (something similar to messages!)

    Because then I never really used it, but now, since the last update "Authentec", I thought that it can start working.
    The problem is, once I installed the update, I get an error saying "Remove old version, given to zero computer.
    So I did it, I removed the old TrueSuite Access Manager and restarted the computer.

    Once restarted, the Autentec Installer (new updated) started to install, but give me again the same error message 'remove old version, given to zero computer.

    I checked for the remains of the old software, but he found nothing.

    I won't be formatting my computer to do this, is there another way I can fix this?
    Thank you

    Hello

    I think the update found garbage in the registry and I think that after the Truesuite software has been removed, you must clean the operating system using the CCLeaner.
    After cleaning the operating system and the registry, you must restart the laptop before you repeat the update procedure.

    Maybe you should also install a newer version of Toshiba page before starting the update.
