A few questions on Satellite Pro S300-121

Hello

We bought 12 of these laptops last July, I installed Windows XP Pro but have had problems with about 5 of them on and outside since then. The main problem is no output to the screen, power light turns on but no screen output, only medium difficulty is to press and hold the power button, close and turn on and maybe 2nd or third time it works. I have check the VGA settings in the BIOS and it is defined both as when I put it on auto it was even more of an issue.

I note also with these portable 5 BIOS pose as I set the SATA mode to IDE when installed XP but from time to time, just the BIOS that resets and passes it to AHCI this cause the laptop to blue screen, it is easily fixed, but I wouldn't keep doing this!

The last time that that's happened, this morning the BIOS clock has been fixed at a date in 2008, I know this indicates a dead battery but I have the same questions about 5 of these laptops possibly a bad batch of batteries of BIOS (I understand these things happen).
If anyone else has had similar problems with this model and if so could you let me know please.

Andy

Are these laptops left alone for a long time? Maybe the CMOS battery is empty, what can happen faster if you leave the laptop into sleep/Hibernation Mode and the main battery is flat.

  • Satellite Pro S300-121: Installation of Win 7 64-bit: Yes or no

    I have win7 32 bit on my Satellite Pro S300-121.
    I have 4 GB of ram installed.
    Should I install the 64 bit version, or I will not see any difference in speed?

    I know I have to do a clean install, but is it useful for S300-121 all pros and cons anyway, your thoughts

    Hello
    Your laptop has been equipped with 4 GB of RAM.
    But Win 32 bit can handle only 3.2 GB. So this could be a key reason to switch to Win 7 64 bit OS because the 64-bit would recognize the full 4 GB of RAM.
    But if you use programs and the software that is compatible only with the 32-bit system, then I would recommend staying with Win 7 32 bit OS.
    But new software can be installed on 32-bit and 64-bit systems

    Hello

    to remove the keyboard, simply remove the long plastic on top of the keyboard cover. Just take a flat blade screwdriver gently push the upper part where the F1 - F12 keys are under the plastic cover and the elevator that plastic cover.

    Why do you want to open your machine? You want to install an additional WIFI card or what? And what do you mean with "watsch" the CPU?

    Could you please clarify it?

    Hi fender62,.

    It seems that you have not installed the software of the webcam. The Panel of webcam on the left side that you mean is no functionality of Windows if you need to install the driver for the webcam.

    You can download the driver from Toshiba's official website.

    I think that the use of the laptop Chipset Mobile Intel® GL960 Express. This chipset support only 2 GB of RAM and 4 GB of RAM are therefore not possible

    Some L300 can be equipped with a second HDD. Checks if the second Bay of HARD drive (at the bottom of the unit) contains some connectors. You will see the connector on the HARD drive, then the second HDD if possible.

    Hello

    I can't give you details on the microphone of the satellite Pro S300 tension because I didn t find all the details about the tension of mic jack, but I guess that it s a voltage standard as on others, laptops different.

    As far as I know the external portable media microphone who need 1, 5V DC.
    So I guess that the S300 this support too.

    That's all I can say about it.

  • Satellite Pro S300 - screen is blank and can not restart

    A week ago, I left my Satellite Pro S300-EZ2502 at night (as usual). It was fine tonight.

    The next day, I got a black screen and a flashing light orange on the left side. I tried to turn it off, don't restart, no dice. I tried removing the battery and restart under just current alternative, nothing, I tried the opposite. Nothing. I tried to let the battery and then recharge. No help. Very rarely when I plug it in again, I will get the green light for a few seconds, but then again the yellow flashing light. Nothing EVER on the screen.

    I've only had this laptop since MAY! What's wrong!!

    Have you installed extra RAM in the system?

    Try to remove one of the Modules or swap them around.

    Otherwise, it may be a motherboard problem. An FSL can repair it for you - free if its under warranty.

  • Satellite Pro S300 - Performance issues running Everquest 2

    Hello, I am currently using the Satellite Pro S300-EZ1511.

    I was trying to find a way to share the memory in the BIOS, but I've been reading around and it seems that you can not do this with these laptops... My question is, what I currently play the game Everquest 2, and I was talking to someone of performance that I currently have to run the game on the lowest setting, and we exchanged Plug and it turned out that his laptop was actually not as good as mine, but he managed to run the game with a better graphic quality.
    Anyone who is familiar with this game, or you have any advice on how to increase the video if possible memory or to simply improve performance?

    I think I should at least be able to run a top quality graphics game layer is... I was looking in the graphic propertiese (when you right-click on the desktop) and under setting 3d but alas I'm not sure what those setting are.
    Any help would be appreicated.

    I find it strange that my laptop older can run this top quaility set then this laptop from new and better.

    > I think it was 1 G of ram and 64 MB or 128 MB ATI onboard card video (I think it was the 128)
    I think that this is the reason why the game runs better on your old laptop because it of a ATI card and these cards are designed for games. There are a lot more nVidia and ATI cards, they are much better than the most recent card Intel graphics.
    As resident said Intel cards are not designed for games.

    Also did you check the system requirements for the game? He argues that Intel graphics card in your laptop?

    The graphics settings are ok. S default settings and for better compatibility and performance. It do not change anything.
    If you read on the internet that other people changed some settings why ask n t they? These people he'll know what to change, but I doubt that this can help you but it s worth a try! ;)

  • Satellite Pro S300 - 11 H: charging not not after re-installation of software

    My laptop has been "reset" by a Virus called AdwCleaner last week removal tool (CAUTION - do NOT run it on your laptop - if could ruin your life!)  :(

    In any case, the result of it was that I had to take it to a repair shop where they were unable to restore Windows XP I had used since I got the machine, and so they have had to re - install the original Windows Vista which was the OS when I bought it. (I bought a "downgrade" to XP disc with the laptop)

    Until that happened, the charging of the battery and everything worked well, but since I'll be back my laptop from the store, battery does not charge.

    When I hover over the right low battery icon, it says "3% available, battery not charging".
    The battery is OK, because if I unplug the power cable, the laptop stays on.

    Is there some setting somewhere that is revealing the machine do not recharge the battery?
    How can I get it back to normal?

    See you soon,.
    Select this option.

    Guess what?
    I m wondering if the guy installed all the drivers of Toshiba Vista that are released on the Toshiba UE driver page.
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?

    I m thinking in particular software and tools such as value added package

    I also recommend you to check the Device Manager.
    In Device Manager, expand battery area.
    Here, you must first uninstall the
    -Battery method to check compatible ACPI Microsoft
    -Microsoft AC adapter
    -Battery composite Microsoft

    Reboot the laptop.
    Check how to work the battery charging process
    In the case where they would find the new hardware (these would be three uninstalled devices from Device Manager) wait until the system has installed the driver, reboot once again and check the load

  • Satellite Pro S300 - HDD in caddy is not recognized by BIOS

    I replaced the original HARD drive and installed a new SSD that works very well.
    Installed the W7Pro and all updates.

    I do not use my burner so I replaced the CD drive and installed a shopping cart with my old HDD to have more disk space.

    When I start my laptop, I see a message of ERROR of CD-ROM.
    In Device Manager the caddy and or the HARD drive is not displayed.

    I tried to change settings in the BIOS (according to Toshiba utility the latest version), but even in the Bios is no information about this SSD or HARD drive installed. (or the CD player when I re - install this drive again)

    What's not here? Do I need a BIOS updated allowing the 2nd HARD drive?
    Or if I forget a setting somewhere?

    NB in the BIOS HARD drive drive settingis according to ACPI, the list below it is referred to as IDE device.
    When I enter the BIOS IDE instead of ACPI, I still see the CD-ROM ERROR when starting and after this message, the screen is blue and no other activity.

    > What is the problem here? Do I need a BIOS updated allowing the 2nd HARD drive?
    > Or if I forget a setting somewhere?

    To my knowledge, not all laptops support a 2nd HDD rather than the ODD (optical disc)

    Also, not all CD/DVD drives are compatible and could be used for all laptops.

    So agree with the user above and I think it's the problem of compatibility also.

  • Satellite Pro S300 - how do I uninstall TrueSuite to install Win 7 Win 8

    I put my Toshiba Satellite Pro S300 from Windows 7 to Windows 8 at level and I am stuck at the point where I need to uninstall first TrueSuite Access Manager.

    It is not listed under programs and features, so I can't uninstall it from there.

    I downloaded util_tam_uninstall_TC00240000B.exe and run it without success.

    Any suggestions?

    > It does not appear in programs and features, so I can't uninstall it from there.

    I can't believe that if the utility is installed, it should appear in the box programs and features.
    On the other hand also the fingerprint driver is installed
    So, you can check if you need to uninstall the driver of the fingerprint of the Device Manager.
