Fully operational GPS on Satellite Pro S300 with F3507g card

Hello

Some good news. I have the GPS works entirely on the Toshiba Satellite Pro S300 with F3507g 3 G card. I think that the measures to make operational work on any Toshiba laptop with the same card.

It requires new 3G Toshiba drivers for the card that exposes the COM7 GPS port, some trick with the COM port for the card out of the location data (this would have been done by a Toshiba application if they support the GPS), then it will work with any application that supports GPS.

I used the land bridge to verify this works and this allows tracking on Google Earth, see [image here | http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2262/earthbridgepd2.png] (note that I blanked my exact location because it locates my front door). This signal was achieved with the laptop near a window.

What I plan to do is to make a small application to enable or disable the GPS receiver and will post some instructions on how to address all this, which is quite easy other cunning of Com port that I hope, I can make do with a small, free program.

Concerning

Phil

  • Satellite Pro L40 with realtek card: cannot see wlan Vista networks

    Hey

    You just bought the L40 (Realtek card) and it cannot see wireless networks. The diagnosis of Vista, is that the wireless adapter must be turned on. Then, it will fail to start. Function key and F8 (wireless on/off switch) does nothing.

    The wireless router is well - connected to an XP machine. I can connect to the router without a problem by using an ethernet cable.

    Running on the latest Microsoft drivers.

    Pointers much appreciated.

    Hello

    you turned on the wireless the case switch on "ON"? Maybe you forgot this one, and this is perhaps the reason why it won´t work.

    Please check and make sure that you then use the FN + F8 switch.

  • Satellite Pro S300 and AES1610 fingerprint reader

    To the right,.

    I have a laptop Toshiba Pro S300 with AES1610 fingerprint reader.
    Whenever I start windows and was produced for more than a week now it appears constantly wanting to install an update for AES1610, when you select ok to complete the installation of software, he finally opens the Truesuite Access software and wants to repair to change or remove.
    Please can someone help me solve this problem.

    Fingerprint sensor and truesuite software is always fully operational as well.

    Hello

    I had this happen with Vista, it seems Vista tries to install the new drivers from the Windows Update site.

    WARNING: This could remove your fingerprints and passwords registered in the utility so in this case you will need to add them, make sure you know your windows password as well to get back in.

    What I did from memory.

    1) go through the installation program and click Finish.
    2) go to start - Control Panel - programs and features
    (3) find the entry of TrueSuite Access Manager and uninstall this program
    (4) restart the machine.

    Then...

    1) go to start - Control Panel - Device Manager
    (2) find the entry for personal identification devices and expand it to see the AuthenTec Inc. entry, right click and go to the update driver software and use search automatically. This should find the most recent version that Windows wants to install on the site to update, follow the wizard and we hope that it will be the end of it.

    I think that what is happening is update is installing a more recent version of Windows, but as the old version is still on the machine, its installation program detects the driver or the program has changed and it is then re - install the old version, if you get stuck in a loop.

    Hope that helps.

  • 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.

    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 - 10-fc06-0002 error recovery disc

    I have a Satellite Pro S300 the recovery partition has long been eliminated and the computer was working fine until I opened an e-mail allegedly Fed Ex, ERROR!

    A got a malware virus really bad.

    So I bought a vista business recovery disk for my computer and wiped hard drive t.He. During the installation of Vista, I get a preinst5.swm missing on the first disc.

    After that I skipped the file I got an error of 10-fc06-0002 on the second disc and a cancellation of the installation.
    I looked online for this error and a lot of people have had the same problem. Nobody seems to know what to do.

    I installed Vista Home Premium from a disk recovery Dell with no problems, however, when I tried to change the product key to that on the computer I got the key was not good for the version of hp vista.

    So what to do.
    I think Toshiba made a good product, but the recovery disk, they sent me for $30 was bad.

    I thought that I could copy the disc on another computer and copy a good version of preinst5.swm and try to make a good recovery disk, but I don't have a lot of confidence in Toshiba software.

  • Satellite Pro S300 EZ1514 - could not initialize Solid State Drive (SSD)

    I have a Satellite Pro S300 EZ1514.

    Recently I bought a SATA II 64 GB SSD to replace hard drive current cavalry. I first tried to install XP with SATA drivers rationalized in.
    The installation process recognized the SSD and has the original file copied to it, but when it restarted to continue the installation process the system wouldn't boot from the drive.

    Then I tried to install Vista Business 64 from the recovery disk came with the laptop.
    After launching the recovery disc, the said installation process the hard drive has not been initialized and click OK to initialize now.
    After clicking OK to initialize the system not restarted that at the end pointing upwards on the screen telling me to initialize the hard disk.

    Then I tried initializing the disk manually on my desk.
    Plugged into my office, initialized and formatted in NTFS. Plugged into the laptop to retry recovery Vista. And once again the same screen appears. Reconnect the disk SSD the Office to see that the player has is more initialized and was to be initialized again.

    Then I gave up and installed the SSD on my desktop under master boot and installed perfectly fine with XP. For testing purposes I then handed the ssd with XP pre-installed in the cell to see what happens. To my dismay the computer laptop would not boot and on top of that when I put the SSD drive in the desktop only to see that the drive has been initialized is no longer and I had to reinstall XP again.

    Conclusion:
    It seems that the Satellite Pro S300 series is not easy SSD and just post it self off Initialise the Solid State Drives.
    This seems to be the logical conclusion that the SSDS works perfectly well on my desktop and the laptop is fine now with the old turntable hard back in.

    Does anyone else have this problem or a solution?
    I would still put the SSD in my laptop to save energy.

    Hello

    The laptop is equipped with common serial ATA HDD.
    The SSD might work, but is not a must.

    There are several different SSD on the market and a problem of compatibility of equipment can always happen.
    Maybe an other SSD would work properly, but these are just suggestions.

    Hello Adil

    Apply for solution is simply but it will be interesting to know when that will happen. Usually, if the mouse is frozen it can be because of a background activity or HARD drive busy.

  • Satellite Pro S300 - how to enter the supervisor password?

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro S300-11 years and have a problem. One day, I decided that wanted to put a password for the supervisor to the bios of the laptop. Now, I remember this password, but when I have access to the BIOS Setup, I can't watch any o change option disable this password. I can't enter this password to set me a supervisor, and also I can't change some options with respect to the example, the boot sequence.

    How can I remove this password or how do I log in as a supervisor? I see no option for this, and I need to change the boot sequence.

    A big thank you.

    Hello

    On this that I can only say, check your user manual! ;)

    There, I created the following information:
    + C:\Program Files\Toshiba\PassowrdUtility\TOSPU.exe+
    + This utility allows you to do the following: +.
    + Register, remove, or change the supervisor password.
    + Create or cancel a supervisor password token +.

    Check this and then you should be able to remove the password if you know the current.

  • 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! ;)
