• How to upgrade the Equium L300 - 17Q to make it better

  I recently got an Equium L300 17 Q.
  What improvements could do for that laptop work the best it can.

  What is the more memory (live RAM) can I put in it?

  Also, what is a good graphics card I could use because I love the game!

  Please answer as soon as possible
  Thank you!

  Hello

  You can't spend a lot of things.
  What you can do is upgrade the memory and the HARD drive. But as much HARD drive will not improve the performance of laptop computers, but only the HARD drive space.

  The RAM can be upgraded up to 2 GB.

  The GPU (graphics card) can not be upgraded, because it fixed s (welded) on the motherboard.

  Best regards

  Hey Omegauk,

  Can you please tell us which version of Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), you installed this Equium L300 model you have exactly?

  In your case, I'll try a different driver. Currently for Equium L300 no webcam Windows 7 driver available but for similar L300 Satellite you will already find a webcam driver. You should try this one and post your result. Maybe it will work. :)

• Equium L300 - bootable media fails

  I have an Equium L300 Windows Vista 32-bit.

  I turned on my laptop this morning to find that it wouldn't start.
  After doing the recovery DVDs I've inserted into the laptop and asked format etc.

  However, when he got up to a certain point in the process of "HDDPREP" the process fails due to the error: "Data error - Error creating file" now I can't start my laptop always like "BOOTMGR IS MISSING".

  I need the laptop as I m a student and use for College. I can t use recovery integrated on my HARD drive. The laptop is still under warranty but don't want to have to go to the place I bought the system because they are a pain in the *. I just want to know, can I get the SUPPORT of ORIGIN without the warranty is less than 1 year. That way or maybe some other way to do it.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I'm afraid that there is a problem with the HARD drive. HDDPREP formatted the HARD drive before the start of the recovery image facilities. Why this error occurs I can't say with certainty, but is not visible HDD inside the facilities or is there a problem with the comparison of data recovery and HARD drive.

  When the data structure is different, it can end with CRC error.

  Please contact the nearest service provider as soon as possible. I imagine that you will get a new HARD drive.

  Good bye

• Is Satellite L300 identical Equium L300?

  Are the same or not?

  I'm a fan of Toshiba.

  1 year ago, I bought a Toshiba L30-105, which, in my opinion, was pretty good for my work. It was only ATI X200m, 80 GB and I have upgraded the memory to 2 GB bus 667 Mhz memory that work perfectly (Ram 667 Mhz 333 Mhz GPU).

  1 week ago I decided to buy a new laptop for answering me work practices and I decided for Toshiba Equium L300-146, which is new and not expensive (350 pounds). However, I am totally disappointed in this respect. He has a better processor L30 and more large hard drive, however, despite the fact that a module of 1 Gb 667 Mhz has been given, the computer can only work at 533 Mhz bus (tested by CPUId 1.45). I also tested the GPU clock, which is worse than ATI X200m. Before I bought this laptop, by Googling on the internet, I've seen people say x 3100 is better than Ati X200m and Memclock/GPUclock works at 400 MHz. On the L300, it's even worse than Intel GMA950 Chipset. I'm really disappointed with what I discovered. In addition, L300 has low L30 WIndows experience index.

  It's too late for me to change a new computer now. However, I wrote this hoping that TOSHIBA would have new BIOS upgrade so that the computer will completely Dram Bus 667 MHZ and better clock Mem/GPU that is indicated on the Intel Web site.

  As far as I know, it should be the same. Only difference is the name of the laptop. As far as I know name that equium is used in the United Kingdom only. In other European countries, the name is satellite.
  What about the performance? If I remember well L30 comes with WXP home and new satellite with Vista. You know for sure that Vista needs a lot more resources and have an active background of many processes.

  I will not write here on Toshiba notebooks only, but the fact is that each laptop manufacturer install a lot of things that can slow down the operating system running and have a negative influence on the performance of the laptop. What you need to do is optimization of operating system and RAM upgrade. Good strategy each notebook and PC can work like crazy.

  Please do not be disappointed. Check all installed stuff, remove things you don't need, value added package update and I am sure that the result will be much better. This model of laptop is new and I'm sure that Toshiba will offer the BIOS update in the coming weeks or months.

  Good luck!

• Force wireless on Equium L300 - 17Q issue

  Since late 2008, I have this Equium L300 BRAND / 17Q. Since my laptop wireless resistance lower then any other pc. I'm even so close to the wireless router, but it is still 3-4 bars.
  I'm the only person at home using modem router
  My OS is Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit, installed license. All drivers up to date.

  Also why Toshiba does not provide any what BIOS more updated for this model.
  The latest version of the bios dated 2008, another way 3 years ago.
  Is the authorized Toshiba read these forums?

  They need develop a newer bios.

  If there is no reason why offer the new BIOS? Do you really think THAT BIOS is a magic bullet for every hardware problem?

  The old model works well with Vista and Win7 perfectly. A few months ago, I installed Win7 32 bit on friends L300. No problem at all. One thing was embarrassing for me, and it's HARD drive.

  OK I've updated HARD drive with more capacity and it was pretty hot so I put aluminum foil in order to reduce the temperature on the plastic cover.

  We tested the WLAN functionality also and everything was OK. If you use the WLAN without problem I think there is no reason to panic. Have you checked all the WLAN settings on your laptop?

• Equium L300 - 17Q does not not fullscreen in games

  I just bought a Toshiba Equium L300 - 17Q and I just saw that absolutely no game does run mode full screen.
  There the video card Intel, latest drivers, but nothing.

  He is already in full screen (no border).
  I open this thread simply because others have the same problem and I really want to know who is to blame.

  Do you really have the same problem on all games?

  In your case I update the version of DirectX to the latest, be sure that you have all Service Pack and hotfixes installed and update your BIOS.
  Visit the Microsoft update Web site.

  The version of the BIOS, you can check on the Toshiba site:

• Equium L300 cannot read Photos on CD

  Equium L300 = I have a number of CD containing photos (mainly of the high street Max Spielman and Klik photo printers) that will run on this laptop. They used to run on my old PC

  Can anyone help?
  They are cherished vacation photos, etc. and probably date back to 2003.

  What I need to change some settings or can they somehow be updated on the new disks.

  Hello

  Maybe the discs are not readable by the CD/DVD drive due to a compatibility problem,
  Not all records from all manufacturers are compatible with all CD/DVD players
  It is a common problem in the computer world

  I recommend you copy the cd photo on another cd from another manufacturer.
  You may want to use a different computer for this procedure
  I use TDK CD - R. I had no problems in the past

• Equium L300 - will not install anything other than Microsoft downloads

  Equium L300 put up-to-date with Windows 7. I'm a novice PCs which concerns so any help welcome. My laptop will not install 'programmes' (for example Java AVG etc etc) to the bottom of charges, ask to run and then nothing happens. It is used to!

  I tried just about everything I can think but now can't see the forest for the trees. I stand to lose 50 pounds after he tried to update my sat nav!

  Hmmm... It's strange. Right click on setup.exe and run as administrator. In addition, disable the firewall/antivirus.

  Hey Buddy,

  > But still think bios is damaged
  If you believe it, contact your authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and try to reflash the BIOS. Technicians are really experts and so this should t be a problem for them.

• Equium L300-146: noisy fan

  For more than a month, I bought a Toshiba Equium L300-146.

  The computer was not very hot before and the fan was quite calm, which was nice.

  However, since last week, the fan is working tremendously boring ly with so much noise (like more than 3000 rpm) and made me feel so headaches.

  When I use Speedfan to check the temperature, the temperature drops a bit, but it's really so loud.

  What should I do now?

  Hello

  I think that is nothing unusual.
  The fan must work more quickly to avoid a temperature more high which could lead to serious overheating problems.
  Please don t forget that these computers laptops support high performance CPU and GPU which produce a lot of heat. This heat must be removed inside.

  Of course noise could also be related to a hardware problem of fan, but the chances are very low.
