Toshiba Portege - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals - Page 8

You haven't said whether you installed Windows from the original factory discs which came with the laptop. If you haven't done that yet, open the cd tray and put the 1st disc in. Shut down the laptop. Reboot the laptop and it should boot off the disc and ask you if you want to "format" the hard drive. At this point you should be able to follow the on screen instructions until everything is loaded, including all hardware drivers. Any other software you had on your old drive will need to be reinstalled on this drive from the disc. If the software is old you may want to go to the appropriate website for the driver and download the newest version. That should complete your install. Let me know if you need more help.

Thanks for using FixYa and the generous rating.

Unplug and plug your speakers. For a laptop like yours, you need to open it up to remove the motherboard for servicing.

In the meantime, remove your speakers and plug them back.

try to boot to windows xp or dos command, for winXP go to recovery console-select your windows-type the admin password then if C:\WINDOWS come up type chkdsk /r if that doesnt help, repair your operating system or backup your files and reinstall your operating system.

You can just use a paper clip (straighten to a U shape) and short out the battery contacts.
If you are not sure, just leave the battery out for 20+ mins then put the battery back in the holder.
The BIOS settings will then be set back to th default settings, then go into the BIOS setting and set the Date and Time etc.

the wifi is on the backside of the notebook hidden under a cover or it is possible to be hidden under the keyboard

Get a cooling pad to keep it cool or your processor will die soon.

dear zy_martinez, get in to the Bios setting and look for SATA setting and disable it, now try to install again.

have you had any power surges lately?
Try taking the battery out of the laptop and starting just on power.
if this doesnt help then take battery and power and leave laptop for few hours then try again on only power or battery.

Let us know how it goes.

You look very much the unlucky owner of a busted battery.

I'm afraid the battery will have to be replaced. Meanwhile, do not use it with the power supply; not only it will do no good, as you already determined, but it might damage the power supply itself.

just write a email to toshiba that ur changing hardisk.and u u ill help u

Only a select few (very few) M400's have a 3G wireless module, and from what I understand they do not use a Sim Card as they use CDMA technology. You can tell if your unit has the 3G unit with several different ways.

A. Check the device Manager

B. Try and install the 3G power management driver, and see if it loads.

C. Check using Toshiba Utilities if installed

D. This is the hardest way, but the best. Remove the keyboard, and if the 3G unit is installed, it will be at the top right hand side of the case under plastic film. (I have had three M400's, including the top of the range one that I am writing this on, and I have never seen a 3G unit).

If you do have the 3G unit installed, look for an ESN number. You should then be able to then call Verizon and have the service activated.
