Portege M400 - Cannot navigate through BIOS pages

Hi,
I purchased an M400 Tablet system and having a lot of trouble with the BIOS.
I am able to get into the BIOS, but it appears to be restricted.
It says there are three pages and to use the pgup and pgdn to change pages, this does not work.
I have tried it with a USB keyboard and removing the keyboard from the tablet, but this does not work either.
The laptop does not have SWSetup installed on it. I downloaded this from the website but say's that the BIOS is incorrect.
I then decided to flash the BIOS.
Downloaded windows BIOS flash and that say's that the BIOS is incorrect.
I would like to reinstall the OS but at the moment I am unable to to get it to boot from the CD as I can't change the boot sequence.
Can any one please help me.

Hi
Thats strange.
First of all you can boot from the CD pressing F12 and then you could choose ODD as booting device.
Secondly its interesting to know if some passwords (user or supervisor password) have been set because such kind of password could restrict changing the BIOS options.

  • Cannot navigate through eBay listing

    The problem developed 11/26. When I navigate thru ebay to list and item for sale I am taken to a page to choose the category. I select the category and click continue. This brings me back to the previous page and in red tells me to select a category. I select the category and click continue ad it brings back to the previous page and is highlighted in red to choose a category. I cannot navigate past this page.
    It is only on my computer. My son does not have the issue on his computer, but if he signs onto ebay on y computer he has the same issue.
    Using Safari as a browser there is NO problem and I am abe to navigate and list as I have previously done through Fire Fox before the problem began today

    I've been having the same exact problem and apparently so have a lot of other people.  I emailed PayPal customer service but I'm still awaiting their response...hopefully they can hurry up and do something about it because I have orders to place.  This is getting ridiculous.

  • Cannot swipe through different pages in the app store

    As stated above I cannot swipe through different pages in the app store. It shows the first 12 apps (out of 2000) their is no ability to swipe to see the other apps.
    I'm using an ipad 2 and I've tried resetting and completely erasing the ipad w/no luck

    Where on the screen are you swiping ? I can swipe on the screen where the apps are (either to the right or upwards depending upon the iOS version) and it then displays the next set of apps.

  • There are no more arrows on the tab bar so if you have many tabs open you cannot navigate through them anymore what happened to that?

    I always have 30+ tabs open. Used to be there were arrows on either side of the tab bar and you could navigate to the start or the end of your tabs. Now those arrows are missing and if you have a lot of tabs open you cannot navigate, you must close a tab in order to see other ones. Or click that group tab button thing to see which tabs you have open which is stupid. Is just mine faulty? or did this function just go away. Makes no sense to not be able to scroll through and see all the opened tabs.

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • TS5362 My scroller on the right hand side of my screen is missing and I have to use my arrow buttons to navigate through the page with my update. Please help:-)

    Since my update, I cannot scroll using the scroller option that slides down the page and my iTune downloaded podcasts will not sync to my apple tv. Any ideas?

    Hello there, breezyandrade.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information on setting your scroll bar preferences. Although written for Mountain Lion it provides accurate location for this preference in Mavericks as well:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Change how scroll bars work
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10895
    Use General Preferences to customize scroll bars in windows.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click General.
    Set the scrolling options. For more information about the scrolling options, click the Help button.
    Some apps let you scroll through a document in other ways, such as by dragging in the document, using arrow keys, or pressing the Space bar.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Portege M400: cannot copy files on HDD - cannot see any of my files in Word

    I purchased the M400 a few weeks ago. There are a number of problems. Adobe reader gives "an internal error occurred", installing manual from download gives "error has occurred in zip file", downloading or copying files to hdd gives error "there is no space" when only 8 gig used from 60GB. Now I cannot see any of my files in Word.
    I cannot also copy files from cd or dvds. I am in canada mississauga on hols, normally reside in the UK so I am in a precarious situation because I cannot get into my desktop to sort matters out.
    Can someone please advise me why all these problems are occurring, do I have to use the recovery disk? baz

    Thank you Eldorado for your clear advice. As I said I am on hols here and have left my USB external drive at home so it??s impossible to do what you say. Before I embark on your 2nd instruction I would like to say that the warning from the recovery disk is so frightening. It says if the HDD is reformatted I will lose everything including any additional\ software installed which to me means such additional software will not be made good.
    But your advice seems quite good because you say everything will be reinstalled when the OS is reinstalled. Can I have your assurance that I go ahead as you say?
    Thank you. Baz

  • I need to know if there is an addon for firefox which shows a small map of the current web page so that it is easier to navigate through lengthy pages ?

    I am just looking for that addon. Thanks
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hello A.R.
    You can zoom back the webpage to have more like a bird's eye view or something. Hold CTRL as you use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, or use CTRL plus + or - to zoom. You can press CTRL+0 (that's zero) to set the zoom level back to default. You can also use the menu. Go into View > Zoom.
    I hope this helps.

  • Problem with back button when using task flow to navigate through pages

    I am using unbounded task flow to navigate through my pages
    in page2 I added back button so I can back to page1 using the action A2
    task flow 1
    page 1 -----A1-------> page 2
    page2 ----A2--------> page1
    the problem when I used page2 in another task flow
    task flow 2
    page 3 -----A3------> page2
    page 2 -----A4 -----> page3
    here when I click on back button he take me to page1
    how can I back to page3 ???????

    For this you have to know where the user came from when he navigated to page2. You can e.g. store the back target in a variable in the session or pageflow scope (when the user navigates from page1 or page3 to page2), then you bind the back button of page 2 to the stored variable.

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I am creating an I-Web webpage.  When I add pages, the only way to navigate throught the pages is with the menu bar on the left.  How do I navigate to each page on the actual website?

    I am creating a website using i-web.  When I add pages, they appear at the top of the webpage, but I cannot navigate to each page in the navigation bar.  I can only navigate in the menu bar located on the left side of the program.
    How do I navigate thru the website?

    You don't unfortunately, iWeb though great does not allow that funtion.
    If it is a deal breaker for you I would suggest SandVox or RapidWeaver.
    I personal like SandVox

  • Why does my website jerk when I switch through the pages?

    I just built my website using Adobe Muse CS6 and I am noticing that as I navigate through the pages the menu bar at the bottom of my pages jerks and at times the background image takes a bit to reload. I also notice on my CONTACT US page, the form that I inserted, which I created using Adobe's Form Central, does the same thing.
    Can anyone help?

    Hello,
    Whenever you add an HTML on the page, it takes some time to load as it fetches data from other sources.
    Like  in this case, if you notice, it is the Facebook Like and Send buttons which takes time to load and while  loading makes the menu flicker.
    Same is in the case of Form Central form.

  • Clear the page when navigate through menubar

    Hi All,
    Need help to resolve the problem.
    In my page, i have menubar with couple of command menu item. One is for to enter new record and another is for to search the record.
    When i click the search menubar, it will take to search screen and i can able to search the record with input criteria. After fetching the result, i am selecting the record to view full complete details and return back to search screen. At this time i need to maintain entered search criteria value and also result in the table.
    What i need is after search , if i navigate to creation form using menubar item and then again coming back to search screen. At this time i want to clear the form. I want to display the screen without any values.
    How to clear the values when we navigate through menubar item.
    Kindly suggest tips or any sample for to fix it.
    Thanks & Regards
    Vimalan Balan

    Hi Frank,
    Thanks for your reply. I will just explain what happened initially.
    When i click the search menu item, it loads the page, while loading it executes the findSearchQuery method in the EJB. Initially there is no value, so it shows empty screen. After entered value in the screen and search it. It displays result in the page.
    After that i navigate to another page through the menu bar and again back to search screen at this the value was there so the findSearchQuery is executing.
    I tried giving refresh="prepareModel" in the page definition file. But no impact.
    That's i went to second approach.
    If you don't mine please give syntax for to refresh the binding..when we navigate through the menu bar.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Portege M400 - Virtualization not available in BIOS

    Hi,
    I've 2 Portege M400 (different models), both with the BIOS version 3.8 but strangely in one of them I've the virtualization option to enable or disable.
    But in the other one no, and it seems I'm not able to do anything to make that option available on that notebook.
    Is this a known issue? I could I solve that?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Impossible to navigate through pages

    Hello,
    With App Store (and the same with iTunes), I am not able anymore to navigate through pages (2, 3, 4, 5 - next) once browsing te applications into their categories.
    Sorry for my bad English.
    Thanks and regards
    Henri

    Well, folks, I've got good news and bad news. I can now navigate through all the pages from 1 to N and back again. However, if I happen to choose to see the specific information for an app, say on page 6 of 10, it also works fine, but when I want to return to page 6, hitting the back arrow in the top left of the app page returns me to page 1 NOT page 6. So, I have to navigate to the bottom of page 1 and choose the page I wanted to return to in the first place, page 6. Still a bug, APPLE.
