Satellite U400 and WXP - no LAN no WLAN no internet

Hello everyone and thank you very much for reading my post.
I just bought a new Satellite U400-12R PSU40E and quickly clean installed winXP 32bit with SP2, the installation was flawless after changing the HDD mode into compatibility mode. Downloaded and installed all the drivers from this site for my model which included the network drivers Realtek for the wireless and the Marvel Yukon for the LAN. No yellow marks in the devise manager and the system is just perfect.
However, for the life of me, I CAN NOT connect this damn thing to any LAN or WLAN, the funny thing is when I connect the LAN cable in my office into it, the little icon in the tray shows connected and all the ip addresses are correct, even COMODO starts downloading updates automatically and completes the updates after a while but I can not surf the internet at all.
I even installed Firefox and chrome and with none of the 3 browsers I can browse the internet, even when all the anti virus, COMODO or windows firewall all turned off.
Please help me in anyway or tips or pointers I might have missed.
Thanking you all in advance.
Reza.

I finely solved the problem last night and just thought to update my thread just in case someone else had the same problem.
The cause of all this headache was none other then COMODO internet security. Even with the application fully closed and not loaded into memory it was still blocking everything. The moment I UNINSTALLED comodo, everything started working again.
I even read some threads in the comodo forum regarding this problem, but even when I gave full rights to firefox and ie, still it did not work.
Anyway I installed the free version of zone alarm and now everything is fine again.
Thanks again.
Reza.

  • Satellite A300 and WXP 64-bit

    Hi,
    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-15k, it has CX20561 sound codec, I Found drivers for XP 64 but they are not working in 100%, I have sound but, when I plug in headphones, build in speakers still playing, i cannot mute them and second thing, build in microphone doesn't work, also when I plug in some other microphone to laptop it also doesn't work...
    I know that Toshiba doesn't support this OS, but maybe someone know how to fix this, or found better drivers, please help...

    > I have these problems because drivers which i used are not exacly for this model
    Hm I think thats the reason.
    You can Google for your sound chip and try to find a XP 64bit driver but its not sure that all will work because from Toshiba are no 64bit XP drivers available.
    Maybe a BIOS update could solve the problem.
    Good luck and post your result!

  • Satellite U400 - loud noise coming from cooling modules

    Hi,
    have bought few month's ago Toshiba Satellite U400 and everything was perfect and i just bought it because i do not like sounds.
    When i surf on the net i like it to be quite, but these last 5 days it has started to sound.
    Toshiba U400 works and it takes out to much "Air" from the side and just sound all the time, even if i open IE or MSN or anything, and before it just did sometime but now it does often.
    Please help me because this is very annoying and it sounds to much, and i do not like it, why has this start to happend now and not before? and what can i do about it?
    thnx.

    Hi
    This is worth checking. I had a similar problem myself and I noticed that on my wife's profile the fan's behaved but on my profile the fans went crazy.
    I did some digging and noticed through Task Manager that a particular process was using an aweful lot of CPU. I did some more digging on the process and discovered it was the Bluetooth driver. I checked in the system tray and sure enough Bluetooth was active. So I logged onto my wife's profile and on her's, Bluetooth was disabled.
    So I went back into my profile, disbaled the bluetooth, right click on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray and select disable. All nice and quiet again.
    It's worth a try.

  • Satellite U400 wont turn on & when on wont come back from sleep mode

    I have a Satellite U400 and its a year and a few months old.
    In the last little bit it has been acting up, and it started with when the computer goes to sleep and goes to the black blank screen it will not come back from that.
    The only way to do anything is hold in the power key till it turns off and then turning it back on. This brings me to the warning screen I have turned my computer off incorrectly. It has been doings this for a few weeks and started randomly out of the blue.
    Then just today it wouldnt turn on at all, I was pressing the power key and the key itself would light up, and on the bottom right hand side the little lights would light up but wouldnt turn on, I kept pressing it over and over and over again and finally it did turn on. Once on I only used it for a few mins before turning off again and then would do the same thing, I kept pressing the bottom till it turned on. Its been on now and hasnt turned off again.
    Not to log ago I had to reformat my computer due to me forgeting my password and had locked myself out of the computer. About a week after that is when the issues started. I am not all that computer smart, to be honest, I do understand something things, I can follow step by step to do something.
    I really dont want to pay to have it fix I want to just do it myself and soon as its in great shape and never had any issues before.
    Does anyone have any idea what this could be, or why it could be?
    I am thinking about reformatting again as I am worried that didnt work out right the 1st time or something.
    Or if this is something that needs to be repaired does anyone have a clue on the cost of it?
    Thanks ^_^

    hi aev270,
    sounds like a serious problem to me.
    try the following: take out battery, cd-rom, hdd and try again.
    if it starts up without this components - you got lucky!
    this means it probably a software issue (but i dont think so - sorry)
    do you see the toshiba logo / bios messages? no - the you are in trouble.
    this strange behaviour could depend on many things: defektive components like ram or grafics... or (badest thing) the mainboard...
    if you have still warranty on it you should go to a servicepartner having the system checked.

  • Internet and WLan not working on Satellite U400 Win XP

    Hi all, please help!
    I just bought my new Sat U400 and I am trying to install Win XP and it went quite well till I wanted to have internet and stuff... no internet connection with cable, neither with wireless.
    I tried to find drivers but I have no idea what I need to look for, since I have no devices detected on my computer... the bluethooth i am already afraid of, since i ve never even used it before :D
    I know something like wlan 802.11/a/b/g/N-draft in the parameters of my computer but that s all.
    And to be honest i have no idea about what it should be so pleeease someone help me!
    thanx
    annamarie

    Hi,
    Yeah, thanx a lot for both of u! Finally I found all the drivers :) i was just not sure of their type... now it s ok. thanx again.
    And i also had a problem with my battery, i just couldn t charge my battery even if it was plugged in for a whole night, but as i read and as i did, after having a BIOS update everything became really fine (maybe this can help others...)
    I just can t understand - not any complaint or nothing but - if i buy a computer from a company super huge and good like toshiba why do i have to do a bios update myself??? i mean, shouldn t the company give u the newest and best stuff whatever? i don t care, anyway, i m really happy now, my computer works very well, it was worth the things to do for a day to finally have this fine stuff. :D
    now it s only trying to figure out how to make the controls function with winamp... :D i can turn winamp on with the buttons of toshiba (i downloaded a plugin) but i cannot switch songs or pause/stop etc. any ideas? ;)
    cheers anyway for all

  • 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.

  • How do I remove Vista from Satellite U400 PSU44E and install Win XP

    Because much of my specialist software is designed to work with XP pro I need to remove Vista Home Premium from my U400 and install XP Pro. As others have found with other Toshiba models simply placing XP disk in the DVD drive results in 'the dreaded blue screen' with error code 0X0000007B (0XF78D2524, etc etc) and comments about hard drive properly configured / check for viruses/run Chdsk/F to check for corruption.
    Changing HDD BIOS from AHCI to compatability mode allows XP disk to load and run as far as 'Press enter to load XP' but pressing 'Enter' does nothing; pressing other keys has no effect either and the only way out I have found is to press and hold down the On/Off button. Also re changing from 'AHCI' to 'Compatability ' there are many comments on other Internet fora suggesting that using Compatability mode makes disk access much slower than the AHCI mode. However despite searching the Web using Tosh HDD Model Referencee No (MK3252GSX) I cannot find a XP ATA driver to nLite into XP before trying again.
    Can anyone tell me a procedure they have used to strip off Vista and replace it with XP Pro on te U400 PSU44E please?

    A friend of me has a Satellite U400 too. He installed Windows XP in AHCI mode and he doesnt have any problems.
    As Juan28 posted you can integrate the drivers by using nLite. This tool is freeware and pretty easy to use. You need only the original Microsoft installation disk and the SATA drivers that you can download on the Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    If you dont want nLite you need an external FDD. After booting from CD you must press F6 to load the drivers from the FDD.
    I prefer nLite because so I dont need an external FDD.
    Furthermore I have read in the forum that the AHCI mode is a little bit faster as the compatible mode but in compatible mode you dont need any additional drivers for SATA.

  • 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.

    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

  • No Disk with drivers by a Satellite U400-10L

    Hi there
    Today I bought new Toshiba Satellite u400 - 10l laptop with no operation system included, so I have installed windows XP succesfully, but I faced such a problem, as a shortage of a drivers, because there were no additional disk in the box (only laptop, DC cabel and some MANUALS). As soon as I opened my Device Manager, I saw plenty of hardware not being recognized by my laptop : Sound card, Video card, WLAN adapter, 6 hot keys, web cam and so on.
    Should there be additional driver disk when I was buying my laptop, or where can I get all of these drivers so my laptop could work properly.
    Regards

    Sounds like windows wasn't installed properly on your computer. :S
    I've got a friend with a U400, they had Vista on it when they bought it. Have you downgraded to XP? If so, it sounds like you haven't installed all of the drivers for it.
    Try going to the link below for XP drivers. :)
