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,
VICTOR

I was wrong in the previous statement the T2400 has that support the T5500 no and it's confirmed here:

Thanks for reminde me the source... ;o)

  • Nested virtualization not available in Solaris 11.2

    Hello!
    Anybody know why virtual hardware virtualization is not available for my Solaris 11.2 guest?
    I want to be able to use Solaris kernel zones.
    Host environment:
       SuperMicro A1SRM-2758F, 32GB RAM
       ESXi-5.5 (build 2302651)
    I know the CPU (Atom C2758) supports both VT-x and EPT that is required for 64bit virtualization nesting
    And browsing to:
       https://myip/mob/?moid=ha-host&doPath=capability
    Shows me that the (unsupported) feature is available:
       nestedHVSupported
    boolean
    true
    I have created a VM with vHardware vmx-10, selected 'Expose hardware assisted virtualization to the guest OS' and installed Solaris-11.2 as a guest.
    I have also checked that 'vhv.enable = "TRUE" ' is to be found in the vmx file.
    But from the Solaris guest Kernel zone are not available:
    # virtinfo
    NAME            CLASS
    vmware          current
    non-global-zone supported
    # uname -a
    SunOS global1 5.11 11.2 i86pc i386 i86pc
    Anybody have any ideas why this is not available. Worked fine in VMware Fusion.
    Best regards,

    Hello jmattson!
    I tried to add:
      vvt.etmt.uc = "TRUE"
    to the vmx file and according to the log it got picked up:
    2015-03-31T20:03:40.790Z| vmx| I120: DICT
    featMask.vm.hv.capable = Min:1

    2015-03-31T20:03:40.790Z| vmx| I120: DICT sched.scsi1:3.throughputCap = off
    But Solaris will still not support kernel zones:
    # virtinfo
    NAME            CLASS
    vmware          current
    non-global-zone supported
    Will I then need to upgrade to ESXi-6 - and downgrade to the Web Client :'( for this to work?
    Best regards and thank you SO much for your help!

  • Portege M400 and the Toshiba valued add

    Hi..
    I want to installed the toshiba driver package valued add (power meter tool etc) in my Win7.
    But if i try to install it the setup routine says, that i havent a Toshiba Notebook or my Bios is to low for that.
    I have Bios Version 3.80 and i doesnt find any newer Bios version for the M400
    any ideas about the error message?
    regards

    I can just imagine your old Portege m400 is not Win7 supported.
    Where you downloaded VAP for your notebook model when M400 is not on the list for Win7 drivers?

  • Portege M400 - Cursor shoots down to bottom left

    Wierd one here, using a Portege M400 on the docking station.
    Mouse cusor shoots down to bottom left of screen at random.
    Changed the mouse, disabled the touchpad, still doing it, driving me mad, any thoughts?

    Hi
    This issue is known to me but on notebook with dual pointing device. When the AccuPoint placed in the middle of keyboard is defective you can have such problems. But, if I am remembering well, Portege M400 does not have AccuPoint. Am I right about that?

  • Tecra S3: LPT port - EPP mode not available

    How Can I change LPT port mode to EPP in Toshiba TECRA S3 ?
    In the BIOS settings only ECP and SPP are available, but I have memory programmer that needs to be connected to LPT port working as EPP.
    It doesn't work in ECP or SPP.

    Maybe it's not so simple fact when this facility was implemented in chipset. BIOS is the only limitation.
    There are another tools available for another copmuters (it usually means for another chipset) allowing lpt port mode to be temporarily changed to value not available in BIOS.
    Does anybody have any information about this type of tools for Toshiba ?

  • Portege M400 - Error message: Sorry, but this product is not available in your region.

    I get the message above when I click on the link 'Portege M400' registration page under my profile. This is odd bcause I am actually writing this mesage on the PortegeM400!?
    What I want is, naturally, to go directly from my registration and to the drivers that are ready for my PC, but it appears that the registration procedure did not workout? How does this work out - do I need to set up a different country to be allowed to move on. (Current country is Denmark)
    Regards Per

    Hi
    No reason to be confused! What I want is quite natural - for a programmer. After registering my pc details Thosiba naturally knows what drivers I will be looking for. So what I expect is simply a link to those drivers and notting else. What I get is however a confusing message that - if nothing else - tells me somthiget that vcan not be true... if true I should not be able to input the registration information in the first place.
    to summ up I do not want to go through the laubor of figureing out what drivers I need - and actually I do not need to as thosiba has all nessesary the information and so lets move on.
    Also found the lik that is missing on this page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/registration_basic.jsp?service=EU ;-)

  • Portege M400: Why am I not asked for a password at boot?

    Hi,
    I have a Portege M400 and I used the Toshiba Security Assist software to set up a BIOS boot password as well as an HDD protection password. This software, as well as the actual BIOS (Esc+F1 at boot) both show that the password I set is registered/recognized.
    However, I am not actually asked for either of those passwords when I boot the computer!!!
    I have a dual-boot system with the original WinXP for Tablet PC on one of the partitions, and an Ubuntu Feisty on another. My boot loader is GRUB but I don't understand why that should affect the behaviour of the BIOS that should happen before it calls the boot loader...
    Can someone help me with this? It would be really important for me to protect my BIOS and the hard drive.
    Thanks in advance,
    dsokus

    1. Check your security settings with the Toshiba password utilty. Are these configured correctly?
    2. Did you set the user or the supervisor password? If you only set the supervisor password you are not asked for the password.
    3. Try to set the HDD and User pw in the initial bios setup (press ESC when prowering on).

  • HP D530 USDT BIOS upgrade not available at the moment.

    I tried downloading latest Bios version for a d530 usdt posted on this site(http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12... keep getting not available.

  • Portege M400 keeps freezing

    I recenlty purchased a Portege M400 and this completely freezes and requires a hard reboot at least once a day - any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hi Michael,
    I had the same problem.
    You should first make sure that your system is accepted by the machine as working properly:
    - check the device manager for faulty drivers.
    - fully update Windows.
    - run a scandisk at startup.
    - run a full virus and spyware/malware check.
    - run a full defragmentation.
    Once you've done all that, check your BIOS version. The current BIOS is version 1.5. The one installed on your machine (if preinstalled) should be 1.4.
    If you have version 1.4, go to the update page for your model, download the Windows based BIOS upgrade and unzip it to a convenient location.
    VERY IMPORTANT: make sure your computer is in boot mode (and not in resume mode) and that all security software has been disabled before proceeding with the upgrade. You should also temporarily disable the screen saver and disconnect from the internet (to make sure that no other automatic update is running in the background).
    When you are satisfied that your computer is completely idle, double click on the exe file and do not touch anything until the machine has performed a full reboot.
    There are other updates available on the site, but proceed with caution and only update a driver (ie display driver) if you are unsatisfied with it. If the machine is working fine after the BIOS upgrade, I suggest leaving it as it is.
    Good luck.

  • Portege M400 - always running fan at 100%

    I was excited to receive my new toshiba portege m400 today, but the fan noise is quite bad.
    The problem is that it always runs 100% -- I tried the Toshiba power save properties to
    set the fan speed but to no avail, it has no effect at all. Furthermore, I tried to set
    all three bios power options (low,full power,user) but that has no effect either.
    Worst of all, the cpu temperature is very cool, just 29 degrees, and there is no need
    at all to run the fan at full speed. I guess the power save utilities are bugged and I wonder
    if Toshiba will come out with a new version of their tools? Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks,
    -- Daan.
    ps. bios version 1.30, toshiba power save tools 7.08.00. Cpu speed is dynamic, usually at 1 ghz and
    the temprature is very low.
    [Edited by: admin on 20-Apr-06 06:48]

    Hi all,
    thanks for the suggestions. However, my cooling unit is brand new and doesn't have dust in it, and the antivirus package does not take cpu time: on the contrary, at the moment, I use about 1% of my cpus, the temperature of the cpu is 28 degree celcius (which is extremely low), and the fan just happily blows lots of cold air out of my machine. I think just feeling that the air coming out is *cold* is the best sign that the fan just blows too much.
    I have the latest bios, the latest drivers, set the cooling method to "battery optimized" and nothing helps -- it makes more noise than my other workstation. What should I do? Are there any technical engineers around at Toshiba that look into the fan wiring/temperature sensor?

  • Portege M400 freezes, screen goes black and fan speed increase when moved

    Can someone please help me?
    I recently received the Portege M400 from a friend 4 days ago and reformatted to Windows XP Tablet edition.
    All was going well until I wanted to move the laptop to my coffee table, but as soon as I move the laptop it freezes, the screen goes black and the fan speed increases dramatically!,
    So far I have had no success in fixing this problem and I much appreciated is some one could help me!

    Hi there,
    I have the same laptop. Bought it from a friend also! That was a year ago. It was working perfectly till 6 months ago when I had it going 100% like yours. Screen freezes, fan speeds up and hangs up once it is moved. Recently, even if it doesnt move it hangs up also. I have tried many things like reinstalling drivers and Windows.....etc.
    I dont think it is Windows problem or drivers problem, because if you run BIOS and try to move the laptop, it also hangs up!!
    Tried updating the BIOS, also no benefit. I ended up opening the laptop and having a look to the motherboard (thinking that I could see something that I could fix!! But again, did not get any results.
    I tried also disconnecting peripherals one by one to see whether I could spot the problem, I disconnected the battery, the hard disk, the optical drive, the wirelss modem (from inside), memory, and even the bluetooth, but could not spot the culprit.
    I believe now that the problem is basically the motherboard (sort of wear and tear insulation problem) and it is beyond my humble expertise.
    I am sure if I would contact TOSHIBA, they would not be of much benefit as I am a second hand user. And if I try to buy from them a main board, they will charge me hell of money.
    I hope that this is helpful for you to avoid you wasting your time like me.
    Please if you would come into any progress, let me know. Likewise, I would be happy to update you.

  • Portege M400: no wide screen external resolution (1360x768)

    I'm trying to get an external LCD TV with native resolution 1360x768 connected to the external VGA port of my Toshiba Portege M400. This only works with an external resolution of 1024x768. Wide screen resolutions are just not available in the graphics options. I tried this also using Powerstrip, but I did not manage to get it to 1360x768. With another laptop I did.
    According to the specifications of the Intel 945GM chipset, it should support wide screen resolutions. It seems to be just a shortcoming of the Toshiba drivers. Is there any solution to this problem?
    Marijn

    I dont think that Toshiba has something to do with INTEL graphic card drivers.
    On the Toshiba page you can download the Intel graphic driver. Therefore if you want to send any requests so I think you have to send it to Intel.
    But in my opinion I dont think that somebody from Intel or anywhere will create a driver especially for you. But I wish you good luck.
    I think we have to use the available common resolutions.

  • Portege M400 - WLan issues connecting Orange Livebox

    Hi
    My landlord recently upgraded our WLan by introducing an Orange Livebox. I have tried everything possible to connect wirelessly to the router but to no avail.
    All the other machines have connected with no/little issue/s. I have installed Configfree again, tried connecting through the Windows system as per instruction by Orange website, re-typed the WEP code several times. Tweaked the network connections, Installed the new Intel drivers and installed the Orange Livebox software. I'm running out of options very fast.
    The wireless connection is found, it tries to connect but will not give me a network address, even with the lights flashing (as per Orange instructions), yet when connected through an Ethernet cable there is no problems what so ever.
    I have had a look through the forum and found nothing that exactly matches my problem and tried to implement those suggestions that sound familiar but nothing has worked. Failing any advise, I will just have to phone either Toshiba, or Orange up for advice, however, I would like to be spared long conversations with people in Technical support.
    I have a Portege M400 with an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG built in adapter.
    Any suggestions anyone?
    Many thanks
    David

    Hi
    In such cases its not easy to say why it happens.
    One of my notebooks is not able to connect the WLan router because the router supports Wlan 802.11 BG mode and my Wlan card support A and B mode.
    But you should firstly check if the Windows firewall was disabled. Then disable the encryption on the router and try to connect the notebook without the encryption.
    Sometimes the MAC address filtering was set on the WLan routers. In such cases only the registered WLan cards can connect to the WLan router.
    I would recommend disabling all filters, encryptions and then trying to connect to the wireless LAN. If you will be able to connect the router then you could enable the encryption again.

  • Portege M400-103 powers-on automatically every morning at 9am

    My Toshiba Portege M400 powers-on automatically every morning at 9am. All auto-on options are disabled and also my BIOS version is upgraded to the latest 3.20 version. This is very inconvenient for me because at 9am I'm in my car, and my laptop is in my bag. When I reach the office the laptop is very hot.
    Any ideas what could be the problem?
    Thanks!
    /Vassil

    Hello Vassil
    It is very strange. I have found only settings in BIOS for Auto power ON and if this is disabled I can really not understood why this happen. Is your notebook in standby or hibernation mode? Or completely OFF when you put it in the notebook bag?

  • Re: Portege M400 cpu upgrade?

    Hi,
    I am looking to upgrade my portege m400-ez5031 with the fastest cpu it can handle,
    now it is centrino duo T5600 1,83ghz.
    I think the best is T7600 is it possible?

    Well, usually the CPU upgrade is not very easy
    Its not possible to say if you notebook would run stable or properly after CPU replacement.
    Fact is that BIOS is not tested and not configured for other CPUs and this can cause some compatibility issues which would affect the notebook functionality!
    Main issue might be the higher heat dissipation caused by stronger CPU this would lead to an higher temperature and to overheating
    So be careful and in my opinion the CPU upgrade is not worth since you would not notice a performance boost.
