Equium u400-124 dont want start

Hi there,
after 4 moths warranty my laptop stop work. Charger working fine, also battery is fully charged.
I no drop nothing on laptop (water or any drinks) even no drop it on the floor. Just after shut down dont want start again
no lights, nothing. Any suggestion what is problem ???

Hi
In my opinion RAM modules should be checked firstly.
Remove one module and test the notebook using every module in each slot.
But the diagnostic procedure would be more difficult if the notebook would not start even checking the memory modules in such case the issue could be related to any part on the motherboard theoretically the issue could be related to faulty CPU, motherboard, etc
So in such case an help from a notebook technicians would be necessary. :(

HD recovery folder/ repartitioned Equium U400-124

My Equium U400-124 is getting on a bit and a couple of years ago I merged the two partitions to make the data storage a bit easier. This left the HDD recovery folder in a folder named "merged-partition-content" and everything else in the main partition of C.
I am now getting to a point when I think I should consider a factory default recovery, but the start-up process fails to find the HDD recovery folder, and even if I used the rescue disc made when the computer was first bought, how would it negotiate the new partitioning?
Any ideas?

Thanks; I do have a recovery disc, but am a bit cautious about using it in case it destroys all my data in the process of trying to sort out the partitions. It does not help that my back-up portable disc has just died; should I wait until I have replaced that?
Does using a recovery disc give you the option of cancelling the process if it comes up against a partition issue? Is there a way of obtaining a disc with vista on it from the toshiba, if I cannot simply restore windows from the recovery disc?

Equium U400-124 - disk read error

Hi guys
I have (had?) a Toshiba Equium U400-124 laptop with Vista Home Premium 32 installed.
Last night it just crashed, so I rebooted, and a message came up with "a disk read error occured, press ctrl+alt+del to restart".
This reappeared when I did the above.
I received no disks/dvd's with the pc when i brought it, so created a "vista recovery disk" on my desktop pc and tried it.
It says "windows is loading files", goes through the "egg timer" windows part, but then just hangs on a black screen (the arrow cursor is visible and moveable).
I left it all night after trying it a multitude of times, but still black.
Any clues?
I have read that I will need an original Vista disc to boot from?
Regards

Hi
Can you access the advanced boot menu pressing F8? If yes choose repair my computer. Some files will be loaded and then choose the Toshiba recovery function and follow the screen instructions. Windows will be reinstalled now with the factory settings.
If cant access the advanced boot menu you must reinstall Windows using a Microsoft disk because you didnt burn the Toshiba recovery disk as yet (you had to do this yourself).
But as Eldoarado said you need the SATA drivers. Otherwise you cant install Windows because your notebook is equipped with an SATA HDD.
First download the drivers on the Toshiba page as Eldoarado suggested and then create a new Vista installation disk with these drivers. Therefore you can use vLite:

Re: Error message while restoring my Equium U400-124

I have started to restore my U400-124 with the recovery disk but, half way though it has an error message that one file failed to be copied and only lets me exit and switch off.
How do I get hold of another copy of the recovery disk that is not corrupted?
As it has formatted the hard drive I am unable to do a HDD revcovery....
Any ideas?
Jonathan

Hello Jonathan
Have you ever tried to create recovery DVD media?
It can be that recovery image is corrupt and you cannot install OS properly.
What you can do is to order original Toshiba recovery DVD. You can do this under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

Battery is not detected in Equium U400-124

Hi Guys,
I bought a U400-124 yesterday and replaced it today for the same model and i still have the same problem.
The notebook works fine when its conected to AC power but as soon as i unplug it the notebook dies ? Its not the charger thats the problem, i have changed that also. On the icon that tells you if the battery is charging or not it says "Battery is not detected"
Does anyone have an idea why this happens ? All help would be hugely appreciated.

Hey man
I bought a Toshiba Equium U400 too. And i faced the same problem.
So I took it to the ASP (Authorized Service Provider) and they said it was not the laptops problem it was the problem of the battery.
So as I had a warranty I changed my battery and its running great..
Try my idea and your going to be happy..
So go to a Toshiba reseller or buy your battery online.
So you did a wrong thing changing you laptop should have changed your battery... happy to help and tell me if u have any other problem.
Bye

HELP I'm getting a blinking folder with a question mark at start up? Have been trying to fix this for 3 hours and I dont want to lose all my files by resetting it completely!!

I currently have Mavericks but my original OS X disk that I have I'm pretty sure is Mac OS X 10.6.6. I'm not great with computers but am usually able to fix problems I have had with mine in the past. I have reinstalled and reset my computer to factory settings before, but I am locked out of my computer completely & can't get to my files to save them & I really dont want to lose them. I was in Safari earlier opening a file, the page started to not respond & froze up my whole desktop so I did a hard shutdown & restarted my computer. I haven't been able to get back into my account ever since. If my only choice is to lose my files & reinstall everything, I need detailed instructions because I actually attempted to do this at first, out of desperation to fix my computer & the installer was asking me to select what disk I wanted to reinstall lion to yet I dont have a disk for that nor do I know what it exactly is asking of me? Please help

Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by one or more of these:
a. Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
b. Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
c. Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
d. The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Note that the information I have provided is what Apple recommends, If other users suggest different solutions than found here, then be sure what they recommend does not impact on your warranty, if any, or ability to get continuing Apple service.
Please don't start removing drives or changing cables unless you know what you are doing and have exhausted other non-invasive alternatives outlined here. If you perform any work yourself that is unapproved by Apple, then you will void any warranty you may have and lose all further Apple Support.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.
Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions

If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive

Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed.

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

When i start a new email, it shows all of my old contacts. how do i get rid of the ones i dont want? they are not in my contacts info.

when i start a new email, it shows some of my old email addresses. how do i get rid of the ones i dont want? they are not in my contacts info.

Unfortunately the Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have the option to clear previous recipients. If you don't want to live with it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is by restoring the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch as a new iPad/iPhone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

I DONT WANT TO START A DISCUSSION!!! ANSWER MY QUESTION!

I DONT WANT TO START A DISCUSSION!!! ANSWER MY QUESTION!!! I HAVE SUBMITTED IT SEVERAL TIMES. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PROGRAM. I CANNOT GET RID OF ALL THE FORMATTING IN MY NEW WORD DOC THAT WAS CONVERTED FROM A PDF FILE. I HAVE SPENT HOURS AND HOURS TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT MY DOC TO GET RID OF ALL THE FORMATTING. A SIMPLE CLEAR FORMATTING DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET RID OF PARAGRAPH INDENTS, TABS, LINE NUMBERING, ETC. PLEASE HELP ME BY PROVIDING AN ANSWER! OR I AM DONE WITH THIS!

Hi Wanda,
I'm sorry that you're frustrated. The ExportPDF service is designed to preserve formatting, so that much is expected. Try exporting your content to a Rich Text Format (.rtf) document. That will strip out a good deal of the formatting of the document. If you still need to remove formatting, try copying the content to either a Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac) document (if using TextEdit, choose Format > Make Rich Text). Save that file. Close and reopen that document. Then copy and paste that content to a new Word document.
Let us know how it goes!

Hello diyaakaraman69,
That symptom is listed in this article (it is having problems booting),
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
5. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
     1.Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
     2. If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
     3. If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
6. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Note it suggests a restore as described here:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Please go through that article.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Equium U400 - Bios won't flash

Greetings,
I downloaded the bios update tool to update my bios from 3.1 to 4.7
[BIOS 4.7|http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=UK&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=198&selProduct=776&selSho rtMod=721&language=13&selOS=30&selType=all&yearupl oad=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=all Machines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=8&se lectedLanguage=13&type=all&page=1&ID=77400&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42]
Tried to run it under windows 8 64bit, but it stops at "Flashing bios". Then I tried to run it under windows 7 64 bit, but the result was the same. Tried to leave it for a night, but it was still "flashing bios" after 8 hours. I had to reboot everytime.
Any idea how I can flash the bios?

Equium U400 is not Win supported, therefore I dont think that you could upgrade the BIOS from Win 8.
As far as I know BIOS update requires some essential Toshiba software which needs to be installed.
For example the Toshiba value added package has to be installed in order to start the BIOS update.
I think you have goo channes to update the BIOS running the notebook with factory settings. I mean using the system preinstalled by Toshiba.
But why you want to update the BIOS?
BIOS should be updated as last possibility to solve notebook problems.

Monitor on Equium U400 is inverted

Started Equium U400 and screen is now inverted, believe it may be the inverter or backlight in the monitor.
Would appreciate any assistance in trying to, either find a solution to fix it or suggestion of a place to buy the correct part for my laptop.
Many thanks
Clark

hi thebear2006
as i am reading your posts correctly with the magnifier and changing colors to inverted everything is ok?
try this:
- deinstall grafics driver
- restart and install the newest one
- after this restart once more
if this not solves the issue maybe another application is causing this strange behaviour.
i dont think ist hardware related because you can change colors...
the inverter provides the power for the light tube, if it is broken you have no more backlight but you still can see a dark picture on the screen.
naybe you have to recover to get rid of that....
rarely it could be a broken wire....
