• Satellite A300-1QP - RAM upgrade question

  Hello world

  After a few years, I decided to spend the money to upgrade the RAM.
  Now, I'm pretty stuck to understand what to do.

  I always knew that my laptop can be upgraded to 8 GB.
  I also have many references for this information:

  -model: Satellite A300-1 q PSAGCE-07000QIT
  (http://www.toshiba.it/discontinued-products/satellite-a300-1qp/)

  I checked physically slots: there are currently two slots of 2 GB each.
  As long as no expert, I thought that the the more logical way to upgrade such a configuration is to buy the other two chips of 4 GB each to reach the 8GB.

  However, it appears this combination didn't is not possible because I don't find not (I checked the site of Kingston and the Amazon). The upgrade of RAM I want to achieve is:
  -DDR2
  -800 Mhz
  -8 GB

  If this can be useful, I note all the data on the other two RAM modules:
  2GB 2Rx8 PC2-64005-666-12-Z3
  800 Mhz DDR2-SDRAM

  Can someone help me understand what to do to upgrade the RAM 8 GB?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  The laptop was equipped with the Intel GM45 Express chipset and the Intel ARK page this Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express is capable of dealing with the 8 GB of RAM
  The chipset seems to support 667 MHz / 800 MHz/1066 modules MHz

  If you want to increase the RAM up to 8 GB of RAM, the best option would be the use of 2 x SO-DIMM 4 GB (DDR2 800 Mhz) modules
  The present modules must be removed and replaced with two modules of 4 GB.

  Usually, you can use modules of different brand but modules good markets can cause a lot of problem different and strange. So I recommend you to buy good quality like Kingston, Toshiba, modules etc.

• Satellite A300 - after update BIOS black screen

  Hi all
  I just applied the update to the BIOS on my Satellite A300. After the update is successful, the system carries out a restart. Now when I try to start it I get no display, I can hear the proceedings to hear it, the CD player, the DVD, playback led flashes.

  The ASP Toshiba rang me (phone call), the motherboard must be replaced after a bios update, but it is very expensive for me :(
  Please can you tell me if they are a way to fix it without replacing the motherboard? The bios is an Insyde and according to the site Internet the bios bios [recovery technology | http://www.insydesw.com/press/2008/press_060308.htm]. I guess that the ASP does not know that.

  Please can you tell me how to start the recovery procedure it is possible (combination?),.
  Any help on fixing the laptop without replacing the motherboard will be much appreciated.

  Hello!

  I think that the ASP is just and in the worst cases, the motherboard should be replaced.

  You can try to remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait one hour and then connect the AC adapter and the battery and try again.

  If it doesn't work you should go to an ASP. Perhaps a BIOS reset can solve the problem, but it can be done from an ASP.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 - after installing the Vista SP1 no longer start

  Hello

  I brought my Satellite A300 friends tonight to upgrade Vista to Windows 7.

  The disc of Windows 7 told me before he could upgrade the Vista would need a service pack 1, so I started to install the service pack and when he went to restart mode then it spent in step 2 restart and all of a sudden the screen went black and a load of a number appeared and it goes no further the system frozed.

  Problem now is that Windows does not start and it will not work in safe mode and I'm afraid that all my friends photo and files are now gone.

  I'm empty!

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Now, what happens if you try to start Windows? You get an error message or something else?

  Normally before you install something like a Service Pack or Windows 7 you must back up all the files first and this must be done at any time normally ;)
  I think you can only recover data if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. Then, you can save the data on another computer.

  After that, you can do a clean Windows 7 or alternative facility. install Vista using Toshiba recovery disc, then Windows 7.

  Hi everyone, New here so I hope someone can help.

  I recently bought a Satellite L500 with Vista operating system. I've upgraded to Windows 7 with a upgrade Toshiba drive. After the upgrade I could no longer use the FN keys to switch my touchpad back on.
  I had to get a bluetooth mouse to use a pointing device. Can someone help me get the keys FN working again.
  Thanks in advance. Mickbarker57.

  You have problem with FN + F9 only or flash cards do not work?
  Have you tried to check the properties of the mouse and use the enable/disable option here?

• Satellite A300 - after several months, it became noisy

  Hi all!

  I have a problem with my Satellite A300. The cooling fan is not functioning effectively. The fan runs almost constantly, even if the PC in standby, when I do nothing on computer.
  I cleaned the fan holes and ventilate the air, so it is very clean. I checked the cooling modules in the Toshiba Power Saver, as well as in the ATI PowerPlay.
  All settings are OK...

  The question is, why my Toshiba works fine, when I just bought it, but after several months, it has become a noisy machine? It was very very portable and fan worked perfectly...

  Thanks a lot for your help!

  Hello!

  In your case I would use compressed air jet on the underside and on the left side of the laptop to make sure that blow you the dust from the cooling fans.

  After cleaning your laptop, you should look into the Vista power management. Here you can change the cooling method and choose another option, for example optimized battery.

  Maximum cooling performance method means that your CPU can run on the highest speed and so it needs more cooling.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 - 1MX Win7: can't capture video from conencted Camcorder FireWire

  Hello

  I have a problem with the video capture from a Sony TRV60E with a Satellite A300 1MX and Windows 7 camcorder via the firewire connector.

  The camera is not recognized (or more) Windows.

  I already changed the firewire driver under windows to the "legacy", also often described in other forums.
  And for a few hours, everything worked fine. The camera has been recognized and Pinnacle Studio 14 could capture video of him.

  But after eight hours, the camera was suddenly is no longer recognized.

  -l' camera is immediately recognized by a XP system
  -On the system W7, I uninstalled, reinstalled the driver firewire, powered down the material (shot of power and the batteries for several minutes), but nothing helped.

  I may have a different firewire driver? Or another operating system?

  Thank you.
  kJ

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here.
  For confuses me the fact that cam has BEEN recognized in the past and now for some reason any it is not recognized correctly.

  All devices are properly recognized in device (firewire port) Manager?
  You can test the firewire port using another device?

  You have discovered what may be the problem. Test port firewire with other devices to see if other devices will be recognized correctly.

• Satellite A300 - after the BIOS update I can not install two OS

  Hello everyone:

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-247 with Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Then I formatted it and divided the hard (320 GB) into 6 partitions and installed Windows Vista and Windows XP on drive C to drive D after having changed the SATA controller mode in the BIOS for compatibility. The computer worked well with 2 operating systems. However, when I updated the BIOS to version 1.9, two operating systems stop working and one of them can be installed: XP can be installed when SATA controller mode is placed on compatibility and Vista can be installed only when the SATA is changed to AHCI.

  Is there is no explanation of what past? And can I install operating systems 2 together again?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First of all, I doubt that this has something to do with the BIOS update. I think that after the BIOS update HARD drive mode has been changed from AHCI to compatibility and therefore the OS didn't start.

  Anyway, in compatibility mode you can install Vista and XP without the SATA drivers. This should t be a problem.

  But do you know the difference between compatibility and AHCI? AHCI mode is faster and therefore I would recommend this mode.
  Like you said Vista you can already install in AHCI mode and for XP, you need Intel Storage Manager. This package includes the SATA drivers you need and here is a step by step guide to use these drivers:

  Last but not least, you can install 2 OS. You can do what you want! ;)

• Satellite A300 - CPU & GPU upgrade questions

  Hello everyone!

  I have a satellite A300-1 to 9 (Intel Core 2 Duo T8300, Ati 3650, lcd WXGA 1280 * 800, 2 discs hard etc.) running Windows XP + SP3 + utility Toshiba etc...

  These are my questions...

  (1) can I upgrade the CPU Core 2 Duo P8400?
  (I know that T8300 and P8400 use the same socket)

  (2) can I put my screen WXGA (1280 x 800) with a WXGA + (1400 * 900) or WSXGA + (1680 * 1050)?
  How will this affect the battery consumption?

  (3) having the computer plugged (a/c power), when I close the lid, the computer goes into sleep mode.
  When I open the lid, the computer wakes.
  Unfortunately, the computer is running on battery power is not the case... I opened the lid and nothing happens,
  I have to press the power button for pc to wake up...

  can I fix?

  Thanks in advance...

  Satellite A300's newest model of laptop and I wonder how you feel about this hardware upgrade after so little time to use.
  In General, these upgrades are probably possible, but certainly not supported by Toshiba.
  In other way such radical update as a poster of upgrade is absolutely not logical for me. You probably know how expensive these parts are.

  In my opinion, should you sold your laptop and buy new with exact material you like to have.

  What about the last question? Please check all settings in the control panel and make sure that you have chosen the right option when the notebook is on battery or plugged in.

• Hypernating Ubuntu 8.1 + suspend problems on satellite A300-15 has

  I got a Satelite A300-15A and I installed the top Ubuntu operating system. But every time that I put it to suspend or hypernate, it starts again.
  When I press the power button I get a black screen with glitch (green stripes on top)

  Any ideas on how to fix it?

  Hello

  It is not easy to offer a solution to this. Satellite A300 is not supported with this problem and Linux, you're on your own.
  Check some Ubuntu forum. You're more likely to get good advice there.

  Otherwise, if Ubuntu works well you should be happy about it. This little problem shouldn't be that important to you.

• Re: Two questions on Satellite A300 and Win7 32 bit

  Hello

  I have a satellite A300 PSAJ4E windows 7 32 bit.
  I installed all the drivers to Toshiba support, but I have 2 problems.
  the first is that sometimes my screan does not open while the laptop is open and functioning. I know that his work because when I plug another screen his everything is ok.
  the other problem is that I have an unknown device (ACPI\TOS6205)

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you

  > the first is that sometimes my screan does not open while the laptop is open and functioning properly
  It is still problematic to discuss problems that sometimes occur. When this happens you can see Toshiba welcome screen or hear sounds of windows?
  > another DIF, is that I have an unknown device (ACPI\TOS6205)
  I think that you need to install the bluetooth drivers.

• Problems with Satellite A300 - 1GC XP install - CD does not?

  Hello

  I have a few looks to round in various forums and found no answer to everything.

  I have the Satellite A300-1GC and had (from last night) vista on it. As caused Vista
  a lot of problems with different programs, I decided to get rid of him.

  The problem is now--if I stick my XP installation CD it it bed "press any key to boot from CD".
  Do that and then nothing happens. The CD read head stops going back and forward
  but nothing happens at all. Not even the beginning of the blue installation screen.

  Any ideas where this comes from?

  The CD-rom can also be run in AHCI mode (can a CD player what do I do?) and requires drivers?
  I have tried various CD XP - neither work. The last one I had was with SP3 and build in February 2009 so quite recent.

  Clues?

  See you soon

  Hello

  In your case the question has nothing to do with the SATA mode (AHCI mode or Compatible) but it looks like the CD/DVD drive cannot handle the Win XP disc
  Why? Who knows

  Always is it that the CD cannot be read and so the installation can not get.

  Try to copy this disc by using another computer and then you can try using the disc copied on order to install Win XP.

  Just FYI: I use TDK (CD and DVD) r discs... I am very satisfied

  Hello

  Please read here http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=13

  As you can see, Cpu and Gpu upgrade is not a good idea. Even if your motherboard can handle it but the Bios is not pre-tested for her. In any case, you must contact the Asp (SAV), they can tell exactly whether it is supported or not.

• Satellite A300 and WIn7 - cannot use the media buttons

  I have laptop Satellite A300.

  Recently, I have reinstalled my Windows 7 Pro x 64 using the update (not clean install) option. So I kept my program and settings. But in the player Panel multimedia (or whatever it's called) that allows me to play, stop the music, changing songs etc does not work completely. I can't use 2 "buttons": one that allows me to toggle the highlighting and the other who turns on the media player.
  I need their work. I got tired of Toshiba button support, but I don't know what to do here.

  Hello

  You need to install is Toshiba Value added Package. I use Win7 on my A300 and all buttons work perfectly. But I use the 32-bit version.
  I put t know if your A300 is supported for Win7 64 bit, but you can try to use THIS version.

  Before you begin installation remove old version, if exist, restart the laptop and install this version.

  I hope this will help you.
