Satellite U400-15B hangs on Internet and Touch media keys issue

Hi All,
Had two issues with my U400-15B which I am hoping to resolve.
1) The first issue is that I have noticed that my internet occasionally seems to hang on Internet Explorer when using website's which have a couple of images e.t.c.
It will freeze but the rest of the laptop works fine - I mean you can go into the start menu and open other programs fine. However, if you open Microsoft Word while this is happening, it will take slightly longer to load up than normal. Does anyone know what this could be or how I can resolve this?
I am using Vista Home Premium 32 bit and the laptop has 4GB of RAM / P7350 Intel Centrino 2 - so is pretty powerful.
2) The second issue is that when I press the 'sound' touch key, the white lights and the white bar above the touchpad become unlit. When I press this again the lights come back on but it doesn't mute the sound. Only when the the laptop is put to sleep mode and then woken up again, does the key work correctly. All others work fine. Does anyone know whats causing this?
I have exchanged this laptop 3 times now and all of them have done issue (2) this but surely this isn't normal.
Any help or advice to rectify these issues is very much appreciated.
Thanks

> but the problem of when you press the sound mute touch key still turns the white lights off and the white bar on top of the mouse off - instead of muting the sound.
Ive got U400 too and installed Win XP. When I press the first button near the power button then I can enable and disable the LEDs.
To be honest this is not a problem!
You can configure the Toshiba Control buttons.
This can be done in the Toshiba Button Support Utility. And this tool can be found in Toshiba Assist -> Optimize -> Toshiba Button Support
There you can chose the button (button name) and can assign the certain function.
I think the mute.exe could be fund in Toshiba folder.

Slow boot on Vista Home Premium - Satellite U400-15b

Hi,
I have just bought Satellite U400-15b and am finding it takes a very long time for Vista to boot up, I have gone into msconfig and disabled the things that I am not using and stuff I think that is not necessary, but still having to wait ages before I can use the laptop. I have enough RAM and processor speed so I dont think the specs of the laptop are a problem
Is there anything that can be done about this slow boot, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello
In my opinion slow boot-up or slow notebook operations depends on right OS configuration. I played with this last months and I am now satisfied how Vista boots and runs on my notebook.
I wrote about it in one another thread and if you have some time have a look under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
Please let me know what do you think about all this.

C Drive Full on my Satellite U400 -15B

Hi All
I am not very clever when it comes to PC's so need a little help, I keep getting a message to warn me that my C drive is reaching capacity, even when I have not uploaded anything for a long while.
I have explored the drive and each folder therein and there is nothing evident to say why I have used 147GB of my 149GB capacity,
Its a 320GB laptop with 2 drives and the E drive is ok?
I have done the usual, deleted temp files, emptied recycle bin etc to no avail
Its a Toshiba U400-15B Satellite if that's any help
Any ideas and help anyone, it would be most appreciated

Hi
I can also recommend the CCleaner. Its freeware tool which helps you to remove the temporal stored files and helps you to clean and repair the registry very useful tool definitely..

Satellite U400-15B screen isn't bright as it used to be

Good morning everyone
I have had my U400-15B nearly a year now and I've noticed the screen isn't as bright as it used to be.
The brightness level is on maximum but it just seem a little dull.
Has anyone else noticed this or is it just the LCD panel not being very good?

Hi
> The brightness level is on maximum but it just seems a little dull.
So you are saying that you have already checked the FN + F7 key combination which increases the display brightness?
Well, maybe there is an FL inverter issue?
The FL inverter is a small part which controls the display brightness.
If this part starts to malfunction then you will see everything on the display like behind a thick fog.
If this is a case then you should get in contact with an local service technician whu could replace this.
PS; if you are running Win 7 then you should go to the Win 7 power management and should check if the Win 7 didnt set the display brightness to the lower level in order to save the battery power. The Win 7 supports an economy mode which tries to save the power

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

Satellite U400-14B shuts itself off and now it wont start up

Hi
just got a new Satellite U400 this week.
Was working perfectly the first few days, then last night, it just shuts itself off and now it wont start up.
I press the on button and the row of lights next to it light up, but nothing happens I dont even get as far as the Toshiba screen.
I have tried many things. I left it plugged in overnight, tried taking the battery out and no result as of now.
The little led lights on the bottom indicate that there its plugged in, the battery is white not orange, when pressed they all light up again only for a split second.
The only thing I can liken this too is when a car wont start and you keep turning and turning the key, well in this case pushing a button, and nothing happens, the fans dont whir or anything...
help please...

Has extra Memory (RAM) been installed? Try removing one Memory Module and try a different Memory Slot.
If bad memory is not the problem, then there is not much else you can do except send it to an ASP for warranty repairs.

N93 new firmware and media key issue

Hello all,
I recently upgraded my N93 firmware to V20. Now I've noticed that when before the upgrading I could press and hold the media key to access the musicplayer instantly and after the upgrade when I press and hold the media key it starts the catalog download function. I want to know if this was intended to act this way and if I could (and more importantly: how!) reassign the media key back to access the musicplayer.

i dont think he is holding down the key...maybe just pressing it...i also used a friends N93 and it has the same problem...sorry Nokia considers these things "feature"
im not sitting and waiting for 85.8mb to download again....i'll just sell my N93 and keep the N93i which by the way
1.takes better photos
2.No black and white recording in night video mode
3.Better display
4.battery lasts(shockingly) as long as the N93
5.auto focus in video mode
6.no crashing(as yet)
7.better build
8.can use the outer screen to take self potriats(reflection)
9.better "looking" phone
10.no fw problems
what i dont understand is how the N93i and N93 are the same phone only a few minor adjustments and Nokia cant seem to get the N93 working but the N93i is great....cant they apply the same fw on N93i to N93?

Dreamspark Windows 8.1 Pro x86 and x64 Product Key Issue

Hello people,
I am having trouble with DreamSpark. I have an account from DreamSpark and want to use windows 8.1 pro x64 in my laptop. The problem is that dreamspark gives me only one product key for both x64 and x86 versions of windows 8.1 pro but when I try to install
x64, it asks me to validate x64 via that product key. After typing the key, it gives me an error saying sth "could not validate". However, in the x86 version, it is able to validate. It is annoying because it says "Microsoft
Windows 8.1 Professional 32/64-bit (English) - DreamSpark - Download" in the title. Does not it mean that the product key below in the page is for both x86 and x64? :S

Hi,
I agree with Yannick, both x64 and x86 should work fine, but only one is installed at a time,
for example, before you install the 64bit version, you will need to uninstall the 32bit version, even if it is on another computer.
You can also run
MGADiag tool - Microsoft to view the detailed Activation Dagnostic Report.

Cs5.5 eye dropper and boris chroma key issue

Hi all, I know we have issues with the eye dropper in cs5.5 ultra key and osx lion. Hopefully adobe with correct this ASAP. In the meantime does anyone know if the eye dropper works with third party plugins such as boris chroma key?
This may be an expensive fix if it will work but me being colour blind is causing a few problems using the swatch tool. If anyone can shed some light on this that would be great, also any views on the boris keyer would be helpful.
Any other suggestions for a good keying plugin would also be useful.
Regards
Dave.

Hi Todd as you can see from above I found that out the hard way,however I am experimenting just in case I fall across something that helps. In my case for now I am doing all the keying in AE then replacing the clips in PP with the rgb and alpha from rendered vid out of AE. Bit more time consuming but at least I can carry on with my project.
Regards
Dave.

Satellite U400-15E - Can't boot from new USB HDD

Hello.
Recently a bought an external WD My Book with 3TeraByte to use with my Satellite U400-15E. I can use it inside Windows 7 Ultimate with no problem. But if I try to boot from it (by pressing F12 key), the BIOS doesn't even see the drive.
Is this because Toshiba doesn't use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)? UEFI BIOS can overcome the 2.19TB limitation in todays computers easily, like the following Western Digital document explains:
[http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/Flyer/ENG/2579-771501.pdf]
This would allow me to use my new external drive to store a Ghost image of my Toshiba's internal HDD for instance. I mean 3TB and even greater capacities are a reality today. When will Toshiba update their BIOSes to support UEFI?
Equipment used:
Toshiba Satellite U400-15E (BIOS v5.00 26-10-2010)
Western Digital My Book Essential 3TeraByte - Firmware v1.014 (USB 3.0 interface)
MS Windows 7 Ultimate - 32bit version
Thank you

Hello
Well... with this same computer, I already tried booting (successfully) from the following pendrive capacities:
8GB
16GB
32GB
All without problem.
And besides, before having the 3TeraByte WD, I had a 1TeraByte Iomega USB HDD from which I could store Ghost images, because the BIOS would show the 1TB Iomega drive after pressing F12 and Symantec Ghost could also detect the drive without problems.
But with this new 3TeraByte WD... the BIOS doesn't even show the drive after pressing F12.
So when you say +{color:#0000ff}So USB HDDs are not supported{color}+ are you refering booting from USB HDD?
Hum... I'm not sure about that.
I never tried booting an OS from the Iomega.
But that was never my purpose either.
My purpose is for the BIOS (and hopefully Symantec Ghost) to detect the WD USB drive, like it happened before with the 1TeraByte Iomega.
I was using a 1TeraByte Iomega "Select Series" drive.
With the Iomega I could create Ghost images of my Toshiba without a problem.
+{color:#0000ff}But you’re absolutely right: 3TB and greater capacities are reality today but Satellite U400 is older notebook model and not newest one.{color}+
A Laptop computer that has Two 64bit CPU cores and 8GB RAM capacity is not that old!
I think it could be a BIOS limitation, since it's not using UEFI.
Any more ideas?
Thank you.

Satellite A350-20Q - Illumination media keys have gone dark

I bought a Satellite a350-20Q laptop about two weeks ago and the media keys above the keyboard have seemed to have gone darker than when i first had it.
I have checked using the HWSetup and it says they are definitely illuminated.
Has anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks for the help but i think it is a different problem than the lighting being enabled or disabled, if i gently press down on the keys then they become brighter so I am guessing that either the lighting has physically fallen down or that the buttons themselves have physically moved upwards for some reason.
Thanks for the help but i think i will just go and get it fixed or replaced.

Satellite A350-214 media keys not working

After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 the feather touch media keys are not working.The bluetooth perpheral device drivers are also missing.Pl help...

Try downloading the Windows 7 drivers. You can get them from here:
http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/download/Satellite_A350_32_cae.htm
The buttons are controlled by Toshiba Value added software. There is a bluetooth stack you may need to install. You may want to add the rest of the windows 7 drivers. The display and sound drivers will give you additional HDMI support that the native driver does not support.
Good luck
