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?

  • 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.

    Have you tried to install the OS using another drive or maybe you could start Notepad using a Live CD Linux Live CD or WinPE or PartBE?

    Please check because your problem could be related to the laptop computer part faulty (maybe the HARD drive) or defective recovery disc.

  • Equium L300 - 17Q (PSLB2E) recovery

    Hi all. I'm trying to 'fix' L300 my brother-in-law. It does not start in windows, I tried the safe mode, the repair option, all what I can in the start menu. It hangs, resets or is just a black screen with the pointer. I don't know what the cause is probably a virus. In any case, I want to just factory reset this shit, but I believe that it comes with no recovery media. Thank you Toshiba, nice cost-saving measure that wells of your customers. I guess its his own lack of being too pc-illiterate to do his own recovery disk, but in any case, can someone tell me how I can get hold of a recovery dvd for this model, the cheaper the better! So far, I tried a google search and come with zippo.

    Help! Please? :)

    I think that you would save it £30, if you read first the manual preinstalled on your laptop.
    You will find an info that it s is strongly recommended to create a recovery disk using the preinstalled ;) Toshiba Recovery disc creator

  • What is the maximum memory supporting Equium L300 - 17Q?

    My laptop comes with a memory chip Samsung 1 G standard and I recently added a 2 G kingston DDR-667 to the other location. Vista recongnizes the total memory than the 3G system. My question is if this laptop supports 4G memory if I just use 2 2 G Samsung chips?

    Another weird thing is that as soon as I added this new chip, Everrest indicates that dual channel has been opened! Samsung 1 G and 2 G Kingston? How these two different chips can open the channel double?

    The usuer mannual says that the memory maximum expansionbility for this laptop is 2 G.

    Any explanation?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The user manual says:
    512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB PC2-5300 memory modules can be installed in two memory slots.
    Memory PC2-5300 work as speed of PC2-4200 GL960 Express Chipset.
    The system maximum memory size and speed depend on the model you purchased.

    2 GB of RAM supported by your model if Vista is able to perceive the 3 GB of RAM so it seems

    Mobile Intel GL960 Express chipset has memory dual channel DDR2, 533 MHz system bus, so dual channel has been opened!

  • Equium L300 - 17Q fan continues to stop

    I had so many problems with this laptop. At the present time, however, the fan keeps stopping and starting. What does that mean? I'm on it, about 12 hours a day. Good that I have turn it off for an hour or two to take a break

    Any help would be great. Thank you

    Hello

    Maybe the fan is faulty what you think?

    But before you exchange something, make sure that your laptop is clean and isn t fan of dust blocking. Therefore, you can use jet of compressed air, because this can blow the dust from the cooling fans.

    What operating system you are using? Have you checked the method of cooling in Toshiba Power Saver (XP) or Windows power management (Vista and Windows 7)?

  • Equium L300 - 17Q does not appear on my external TV via VGA

    Computer details:
    NTEL (R) 965 Express Chipset Family graphics card

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Recently, I connected my laptop to my HDTV UMC of 22 "via a VGA cable. It worked fine for about a month, until the day my TV says 'no signal' when I tried to connect to the laptop. Now, I tried the last month trying to solve this problem and have had no luck.

    I tried unistalling and reinstalling the display driver, changing the resolution, tinkered with each parameter but without success.
    My laptop recognizes that there is an attached monitor and when I press FN + F5 and scroll through the different options of the computer knows that the monitor is there, but the style of TV says 'no signal '.

    I know this isn't the TV which is faulty, I connected laptop computer Sony my father on my TV via VGA, and the TV display Sony laptop screen.

    PC World wanted me £40 just to "have a look" load which I of course said no because this can be something simple to solve.
    I could be wrong, but I hope someone has a solution for me.

    I'm not a massive wizz with computers, but I have a knowledge base.
    If you have any other questions, you need to know then I'll respond and keep checking for anyone who responded.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    For me, it would be interesting to know if you have tested this laptop output VGA on different TVs?

    PS: Have you checked the BIOS settings?
    There is a tab called display. Please change the settings and check if you can activate the display (signal) on external LCD.

  • Help me to go wireless with my laptop Equium L300

    I bought a new laptop Toshiba Equium L300. Yesterday I couldn't connect to my Netgear router.
    It says on screen no network card installed, but in Device Manager it says everything is ok on my adapter. Which is a Realtek RTL 2 810.

    It's frustrating been at it all day without success
    Help, please.

    I'm not sure, but your wireless network adapter should sound like Realtek RTL8187B. The other may be the normal Lan device.

    Have you checked whether it s activated by the switch of portable equipment or the FN + F8 key combination?
    You can also try reinstalling the drivers wlan, you will find on the download page of Toshiba.
