Bluetooth on Satellite U400

Hi
I recently bought a new Satellite U400-15e and assumed it had bluetooth installed. After switching on the communication switch I set my phone
to search for devices but it found nothing. I tried searching a few times with the same result. So I now assume that bluetooth is not installed
on my U400
Can some one tell me how I go about getting and installing bluetooth on my laptop.
Many thanks.....Bill
ps. Is switching on the communication swith all I need to do to activate bluetooth?

Is switching on the communication switch all I need to do to activate Bluetooth?
No. when the WLAN switch is set to ON you must enable BT using FN+F8 key combination.
After doing this for the first time BT software will be installed and T module will be configured.
When finished you must start BT software end configure it with your external device.

Wireless issue with Satellite U400

Hello guys,
my laptop is Satellite U400-10n. (OS Vista)
It was running perfectly. But now I cannot connect to a wireless network. When I search for a wireless network, sometimes nothing comes up. I'm using cisco network magic program but it didn't help. I tried everything. I disabled the Bluetooth devise. I turned off all the Bluetooth devices around (cell phones). I have a cordless phone; I turned it off as well.
I tried to update the wireless network device, but didn't help either.
Please guys I need your help.

For WLAN configuration you don't need to use additional applications and you can configure it using Windows settings.
Anyway, check all WLAN settings. Be sure the WLAN card and your router uses the same WLAN standard, try to restart your router.
Have you tried to connect your notebook to some other WLAN?
Can your notebook detect other WLANs?

Satellite U400 - loud noise coming from cooling modules

Hi,
have bought few month's ago Toshiba Satellite U400 and everything was perfect and i just bought it because i do not like sounds.
When i surf on the net i like it to be quite, but these last 5 days it has started to sound.
Toshiba U400 works and it takes out to much "Air" from the side and just sound all the time, even if i open IE or MSN or anything, and before it just did sometime but now it does often.
Please help me because this is very annoying and it sounds to much, and i do not like it, why has this start to happend now and not before? and what can i do about it?
thnx.

Hi
This is worth checking. I had a similar problem myself and I noticed that on my wife's profile the fan's behaved but on my profile the fans went crazy.
I did some digging and noticed through Task Manager that a particular process was using an aweful lot of CPU. I did some more digging on the process and discovered it was the Bluetooth driver. I checked in the system tray and sure enough Bluetooth was active. So I logged onto my wife's profile and on her's, Bluetooth was disabled.
So I went back into my profile, disbaled the bluetooth, right click on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray and select disable. All nice and quiet again.
It's worth a try.

Portege M800 now is Satellite U400

After Motherboard Replacement everest for windows reports my M800 as a Satellite U400. Can I modify this ? or i return my laptop to the service center.
Thanks

I think the DMI information needs updating. The service center should have done this when the mainboard was replaced, so take it back to them and ask them to update it.

Battery issue on Satellite U400

I bought my Dad a Satellite U400 10J laptop for his birthday just under 2 years ago. Being over 60 and not too enthusiatic about using a laptop, he left the unit in his cupboard for close to a year before turning on. The first problem materialsed with the laptop not turning on with the "Battery not recognised" error. Subsequent updating of the BIOS got the laptop to startup. However, despite now charging (or appearing to charge) the battery only retains about 10 minutes of charge. This has progressively gotten worse to the point that the only way to use the laptop is to keep it constantly plugged in. Which as you can imagine, limits the utility of having a laptop in the first place.
I did take it back to the retailer and since I had purchased a warrantly extension, was hoping that they would replace the battery. They refused indicating that the battery is not covered and that by not using the laptop intitially after purchase, I had in effect damaged the battery.
Is this possible? Can a battery to irrevocably damaged through inactivity? I think that the period was around 9 months during which he had not even unwrapped it from the box.
If it is, are replacement batteries an option or should I order an orginal Toshiba battery? Also, are there extended life battery options available for this model?
Thanks in advance

yes, it can take place. It's recommended to charge the battery full even if not used. You should use original Toshiba batteries Don't think that there is extended life battery option available

Wireless connection is not working on my Satellite U400/03S

Hi Guys,
I have Toshiba Satellite U400/03S laptop and I have a very strange problem that I can't seem to get around.
I signed up new ADSL2+ connection and yesterday when was I trying to setup it up I found the I can connect to internet through wired but not wireless.
The laptop shows the network in the list with full signal strength. I have configured the connection properties identical to my laptops including the WEP key and such. When I go to connect to the network, it just sits and says "Waiting for network" for approximately 5 mins, then that dialog dissapears and never connects to the network, just goes back to the network selection screen.
Has anyone had this problem? If so how did you go about fixing it? This is very frustrating and have been playing with router options and computer options for hours now trying to get it to work properly with no luck.
Just to let you know guys that I am using Billion BiPAC 5200G RC wireless router and windows XP pro on my laptop.
Help please! Thanks in advance to all that reply.

Hi buddy,
I agree with Macius. You should contact your internet provider because I think its a problem with your Internet connection or router that you get from them. So you can check with the guys step by step if everything is configured properly.
For creating a WLAN connection you have to configure the settings in router like encryption, MAC address filter, etc.
For testing I would disable all these security features.
Last but not least you should check the TCP/IP configuration of your WLAN card. Maybe you need a static IP address or DHCP Depending on your router ;)

Re: Satellite U400-11Q with Vista has new HDD but no recovery disk

Hi,
Before I start a very important message: I usually don't work with pc...:-) At my work we have an IT-department for our PC's :-))
However, now I have to work privately with a PC/ notebook and I need help: I am sitting in front of a Toshiba Satellite U400-11Q with a completely newly formatted HDD and unfortunately with NO recovery CD or DVD whatsoever !!
So far I have managed to format the HDD aagain and to put a WindowsVista Home Basic (OEM Software) from my old pc onto this notebook. However, nothing works yet ( I want to get into the Internet etc.)
Therefore I now need to put on all relevant drivers as well as the original TOSHIBA drivers, right ?
How do I do this ? Which drivers to I need ? Do I need to download all relevant drivers (totally 113) one by one from the Toshiba website ?
ANY help is appreciated as I can see myself spending the whole night in front of this PC..
Thanks,
M

Hi Dr.Lamp,
thanks for helping me with listing the drivers as well as giving me a recommendation on the use of Windows 7.
Re Windows 7, unfortunately I only have a "free" VISTA Home Basic at home and therefore I have used this operating system for tonight ! I want to get this PC/ machine running as well as possible as quickly as possible...just unfortunate that its a PC with the need of "thousands of drivers"...
If anyone in cyberspace is interested in reading about my HUGE problems with simply setting up a computer newly, I can at this point simply recommend to you PC fanatics:
Please do put onto the internet decent driver packages to download for somebody like me in a bulk !!! why make life so difficult ? How the hell will I get the right order of driver packages ( which you are listing) on to this PC if I have:
- no idea where to find the drivers you mention ( I have to google every single one of them)
- I have already bought a "recovery DVD from Toshiba, but which takes up to 14 days to arrive and costs about 36 EUR
- I just want to get the computer up and running properly with all licenses legally acquired !
So here I am after about 12 hours of woring on this thing as a newbe:
I have so far this evening managed to firstly install a network driver ( I also had an old VISTA resource DVD at hand) after somehow installing some "recommended network drivers" ( by this recovery DD).
This way I managed to get the wireless LAN connection up and running which is a huge success, because I can now download drivers form INTERNET directly onto the computer.
Currently there is an installation running of Windows VISTA including about 120 updates for this VISTA, so I am busy on these updates...I am nowhere close to the 50% installed mark so I probably will have to get some sleep now and continue tomorrow with you list as well as finding your drivers and installing them in the right order ! What a drag ?! Well, somehow these PC's just cost you TONS of TIME..
Anyway thanks for you help and if you can give me a hint on a shortcut, I would be very happy to hear about it.
Thanks
J(M)

Re: Satellite U400-Joo: Number appears instead of letter

Ive recently bought a Satellite U400 joo laptop.
On my keyboard above the number 9 there is a little light with a square with little dots in. It has appeared and now when I type letters numbers now come up .
How do I take this feature off???
Example, when I pres the letter i, the number 5 appears, not i.
Can some one plz help me , its killing me :)

i found a way to stop the num-lock turning on when the laptops where rebooted or shutdown....
Navigate to the following key in the registry - HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard
change a value with the following details:
Data type: DWORD
Value Name: InitialKeyboardIndicators
Value: 0 = NumLock is turned off after logon, 2 = NumLock is turned on after logon
Restart the Laptop for these changes to take effect.

Satellite U400 BIOS 4.0 doesn't work - error 120

Hello to All.
I tried updating my u400 with the newest 4.0 BIOS, and WinPhlash says BIOS is incompatible with current system BIOS + New BIOS part number doesn't match system bios part number. Error 120.
It says i should refer to the Help, but there is no .hlp to open...
I know I downloaded the proper file, i've flashed BIOS previously, i now have version 3.7
Anyone know how to solve this issue / had the same issue?
Tamás Lengyel

What is the exact model number of your Satellite U400?
I have checked the Toshiba website and I can find different model numbers of Satellite U400 so I think not every BIOS is compatible with every U400.
So check the Toshiba website again and choose your model on the list:

Satellite U400 - the webcam does not work anymore

Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
About a year ago I purchased a laptop
TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
with s.o. WinVista 32bit and with integrated webcam chicony etc. ....
For a year, everything worked correctly, but for some days now, the webcam does not work anymore.
As soon as I try to open it, a message of management software cam that says "Webcam driver open fail, please restart or computer room"
I tried to do it all: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam ....! updated bios notebook ....! useless!
the strange thing .. well that going into device manager ... the webcam is not there ....! but if the launch seems to open just then check quell caz ... Warning!!
Gan you help me?
Graziee

Are you familiar and comfortable with LINUX LIVE bootable discs to load an alternative operating system with unobtrusive but extensive Toshiba device support so you can determine if your webcam hardware is ruined or if the problem is software and possibly solved reinstalling Windows ?
At this point, you're pondering less time consuming but more expensive choices such as buying another web cam, or another computer and you might be temporarily borrowing someone else's web cam / using a non preferred spare web cam that isn't optimal for your needs.
Continuously downloading software, registry cleaners, and repeatedly reinstalling drivers will eventually ruin your Windows installation and consume more time than you've wasted so far and still doesn't guarantee to fix your malfunction.

Satellite U400-183 - Need Recovery DVD and AHCI drivers

Hi there,
I tried to reinstall Win Vista Home Premium to my Satellite U400-183. I used a Win OS DVD that came with my other Notebook from an other manufacture and the Key which came with my Toshiba notebook. Everything worked just fine but in certain areas of Windows still are some specific settings from the other manufacture. Now is there a possibility to get a Windows Vista DVD from Toshiba?
Another question is where I can get the AHCI drivers. There is only a exe file on the support site which i can't use while installing Windows. There have to be these .sys files but I can't find them on the Toshiba site, so I had to install Windows in compatibility mode.
THX in advance!
PS: Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany...

Hi!
A new recovery DVD you can get from your local ASP (authorized service provider).
Or you order a DVD from Toshiba directly:
https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
The AHCI drivers or lets say Intel Storage Manager you can download from the Toshiba website as you already said.
The .exe file you must extract to use it during the installation but with the recovery disk you dont need them.
Please read the readme file in from the Storage Manager, there is an example how to extract it. Use he command line
For example: -A -A -PC:\<path>

Satellite U400 (PSU44E) randomely rebooting

Hi Everybody,
I have a strange problem on my Satellite U400.
For a couple of days it was starting sending blue screens and rebooting.
I used the Vista memory check tool and identified one faulty RAM.
I changed both with OCZ 2*2Go PC6400, and no more problems according to the vista memory check tool.
But now, sometimes it works fine, sometimes I have blue screens and even sometimes it is rebooting wothout bluescreen just like that...pshh...
The other thing I noticed is that I have some times some strange lines appearing randomely on the screen like a bad contact....
I have updated the drivers of the motherboard, the diplay, and the BIOS...
I have no more clues....
Has someone an idea?
Thanks,
Furby

Hi
First of all the links to the images dont work.
Secondly it would be interesting to know if your warranty is valid.
If yes, then you should contact the ASP in your country before you would replace any RAM and other hardware parts. Usually the warranty should cover such replacements.
Ive got a U400 too and my notebook is running fine. I upgraded the RAM too but I used the DDR2 667MHz (PC2-5300) 200-PIN SODIMM modules.
I dont know why you used the PC6400 (800Mhz) but maybe this issue is really related to the RAM issue.
Possibly the higher temperature could affect the functionality of the modules which would lead to the BSOD.
Did you notice an higher temperature inside the notebook?
How about fan cleaning?
You could remove the dust from cooling grilles using the compressed air spray
I think its worth a try

Satellite U400-11U - no sound when using headphone

Hi everybody .
i has get a Toshiba Satellite U400 (u400-11u) with Vista installed and at the first use all work nice and i have never tried the headphone, but after sometimes, when I put on the connecteur on the jack of headphone there is no sound, only when I put off the connecteur out of jack, the speaker work.
I has learn that I must update my BIOS and I doing it : no solution, there is no sound, so I have change to XP SP3 the some problem and now I'm with Windows 7 with the some problem.
So if you have any information about this problem, please give'it to me !!
I have tried all solution in FAQ, but no way !!
PS : sorry for language mistakes !!

Unfortunately I cannot offer you 100% working solution because I don't have exact the same notebook model but what I can say is that I think BIOS has nothing to with this issue.
It is very interesting that you have tested it with different operating systems and different headphones but the situation is always the same. What can be the problem?
At the end I believe this port is somehow defective. I have three different laptops here on the desk and hear internet radio almost all day. When I use my headset with all three laptops the reaction is always the same. Internal speakers will be disabled and I can hear music on my headset.
Maybe you should contact nearest authorized service provider and ask for help. Let them check the port.
One more thing: when you start notebook for the first time (factory settings) everything must works properly. If you have noticed this issue from that moment I really think there is a hardware problem.
