Satellite U400-10J - Constant notification if I use multimedia buttons

Hi!
My problem is that whenever I press one of the configurable multimedia buttons above the keyboard (either the one with the speaker icon or media player icon), Windows UAC pops up with a window saying "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?"
The program called is Toshiba Button Setting Assignment, path is "C:\Program File\Toshiba\TBS]TBSBtnCfg.exe" /2 (or /1, depending on the button).
On first use said program asked me what I want the buttons to do, now if I answer Yes to the prompt, it performs the function as configured (one button is set to Mute/Unmute, the other to launch Media Player Classic), however, it's extremely annoying having to confirm this every single time.
Is there a way around it? I'd prefer not to disable UAC if possible.
The Toshiba Value Added Package is the latest version available on the Toshiba website for my model (downloaded today), BIOS is latest version, Windows is Windows7 RC build 7100, 32-bit, with all available updates. The laptop model is written in the title.

Hi costi_1
This is really strange. Im also using Windows 7 but I did never get such a message.
> Windows is Windows7 RC build 7100
Im a little bit confused about this. Why you are using Windows 7 RC if the final version is already released? Im using the final version of Windows 7 and latest VAP from the Toshiba page and all is working fine.
Can you please test it with final version of Windows 7?

Satellite U400-10J - power is on but NO LCD dsiplay

Good day.
I have a new Toshiba Satellite U400-10J.
I did not turn it off after i use it and then when i get back it was hanged up so i decided to turn it off by pressing the power button in few seconds.
The next day when i decided to use my laptop again something occured that i don't understand.
My problem is;
When i turned ON the power button, the laptop runs but there was no display, i checked the fan and it runs for a while then stops after a few seconds. All other button has lights and the CD drive is running too.
What wonders me is that the hard disk led is not blinking or there's no light in it and why there was no LCD display?
Please, anyone can help me on this matter. I would really appreciate if you can give me your answer now.
Thank you very much.

To be honest I dont understand why this happened. Im owner of Satellite U400-10N and something like that never happened to me.
However, I read about some useful workarounds which could help you.
First of all remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor.
Then you have to wait Im not quite sure how long but I would recommend waiting for about 30-60min.
Then connect both devices and try to power up the notebook.
Check if this helps.
Bye and good luck

Satellite U400-10j - How to boot from USB flash drive?

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-10j.
I have Ubuntu on my USB flash disk, I now want to boot from it.
I am unable to find the option in the BIOS to boot from the Usb flash drive.
Secondly I have noticed that the laptop also has a internal memory card reader.
Could I load Ubuntu onto it then boot from the memory stick as well?
Your Help will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

I think its not able to boot from an USB stick on this notebook.
The best way is to use a CD. There you can boot from on this notebook and all other notebooks.
In the Internet are a lot of CD versions of Ubuntu and other Linux systems available.
And as Feliks said, its not able to boot from an SD card because this is not listed in the BIOS.

Satellite U400 - Is it possible to replace the touchpad button?

Hello
I need help please. I want to know if there is a possible way to change the button at my Satellie U400 because they are getting soft and they are not as good and hard as it was before, so please anyone know's if I can remove those and put 2 new one's?
If you dont understand exactly what I mean take a look at the picture and you will see/understand.
[http://oi56.tinypic.com/j0wwoj.jpg]
thank you.

Hi Loow,
Im sure its possible to replace the touchpad buttons because you can replace everything on a notebook. But I think its a little bit tricky because you have to disassemble a lot of parts and thats not easy.
You should ask an authorized service provider The guys can order new spare part for you and exchange it. Just write an email for example to get in contact with them.
You can find a list of ASPs here:

Satellite A660 - How to turn on and of multimedia buttons light?

Does anyone know how to turn the lights of the multimedia functions buttons on and off, mine are off on the Sat A660 and I just cannot work out what to do to get them to come on. If it helps, previously when I disabled my touch pad a little animation came up on screen, this has now stopped.
Any ideas welcome!

Regrettably this did not work either, I do not appear to have an illumination tab. I do however have a button setup icon and when I go into that it has an option for illumination but it is asking me to set a path or something up and I do not know what I am doing. I put something random in there just to see what happened and as you can probably imagine, nothing did.

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

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.

Cannot use product key for Vista installation on my Satellite U400-112

HI, NICE DAY
I BOUGHT TOSHIBA SATELLITE U400-112 , WINDOWS VISTA , I FORMATED MY LAPTOP THEN I SETUP WINDOWS VISTA , BUT WHEN I INTRED THE PRODUCT KEY (THAT IN THE LAPTP`S STICKER) , A MESSAGE APPEAR AND TELL THE P K IS INVALID !!!
BY THE WAY, MY WINDOWS VISA IS A COPY CD OF THE ORIGENAL VISTA, IT CAN BE UPTATED BUT DOES`T ACCEPT MY LAPTOP PRODUCT KEY!!!
WAIT FOR HELP, THANKS.

hi
i get answer by search results
ther is
Hi!
The product key on the bottom side of the notebook is an OEM key and belongs to the preinstalled OEM version. That means you can??t use this key with a normal Vista installation disk that you can buy on the internet or from a computer shop.
If you want to install Vista you should a Toshiba recovery disk or a Microsoft disk with the corresponding product key.
You can order a Toshiba recovery disk from Toshiba directly:

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?

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 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.
Sam

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)

Satellite U400-12P - Multimedia Shortcut Keys illuminates 24-7

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>
Bye
