How reset/format of Toshiba Satellite A300D-135?

Hello

2 months ago I bought a Toshiba + Satellite laptop A300d-135 +. I want to totally
format my laptop, because hes very slow and I don't know the reason. I also do not have
got a cd that came with my laptop.

I tried so many things to speed up my laptop, but nothing worked.
I hope you can help me to totally discount to zero/format my laptop

Yours,

Hello Mustafa

The recovery DVDs is not delivered separately and you must create only using the Toshiba Recovery creator utility.
Please do it at first and later, we can discuss on the format of HARD drive.

By the way: that have you ever tried making your computer faster?

  • Satellite A300D-135 - BIOS - System Configuration data read error

    After starting a Satellite A300D-135 laptop computer, the following error message appears:


    3070M extended RAM passed
    512 KB of L2 Cache
    System BIOS with a shadow
    Video BIOS with a shadow
    ATAPI CD-ROM: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H
    Fixed disk 0: TOSHIBA MK2546GSX
    Initialized the mouse
    ERROR
    System Configuration data read error

    Press to resume, installation

    After pressing F1 the machine starts Windows, very well, but the error message is quite irritating, while it comes with a loud BEEP

    I tried the following things so far (in that particular order):
    -Load BIOS default
    -Flashed the BIOS with the latest version of the BIOS (2.80) for this type of model
    -Reinstalled windows with HARD drive format

    All the these did not work.

    I saw the same message appearing on several places on the internet (on different laptops with a Phoenix BIOS in common), but so far I have not been able to find a working solution.

    It might me a hardware problem, but all devices (vga, soiund, lan, wifi, usb, hdd) seem to work perfectly under Windows, so this does not seem the question). Another solution that is mentioned in some forums, replace the battery. But because the phone keeps time correctly I don't think it's the case either.

    Any ideas?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    The POST (power on self-test) BIOS checks and detects errors on the motherboard.
    I think it has something to do with the hardware on the motherboard problem.
    I doubt that you can solve this if update of the BIOS and the BIOS default settings didn't change that.

    What to say; I think that the technician of the ASP should run tests to check what's wrong or what cause this I think it is question of s mobo.

    Hi everyone;

    I had a series of A satellite with Vista.
    Vista software has been installed and I have a cd of vista without be installed.

    Then I have upgraded from Vista to Win7 home edition.
    Now I want to format it to the system, but I don't know how to cope.

    Question: How can I format my win7? Thank you.

    Hello

    You need the installation CD!

    You didn t receive the recovery disk because there is a pre-installed tool called creator Toshiba recovery disc.
    Sometimes it is useful to consult the manual of the user which is preinstalled on your laptop. You know

    If you need the disk to reinstall the OS and the recovery disc can be ordered here:

  • Re: Satellite A300D-11 t - how to install Windows and software provided?

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300D-11 t (model: PSAK0E-00700DGE.) Due to the mistake of hard drive, hard drive has been formatted and I lost my OS. When I bought it two years ago, the laptop came with Windows Visa and other software. But I don't have any software CD this time except the mannual.

    Please help me how can I have my Visa settings or factory of origin.
    Thank you
    Ben

    Hi Ben,

    The problem is that you must create this disk with Windows and all the drivers/tools yourself if it of not given with the computer. This can be done with the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Media Creator who creates the Toshiba recovery disc. This disc contains a picture to factory settings (Windows with all the drivers and tools) and can be used to restore the factory settings every time.
    So you need this disc to install Vista with the supplied software.

    In any case, now it s too late and you need to order such a drive of Toshiba directly but it s not for free:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    Of course, you can install Windows on a normal disc of Microsoft, but then you must install all the drivers and tools yourself so recovery disk is the easiest way and pre-tested by Toshiba. ;)

  • Satellite A300D overheats whenever I run any game

    I have Toshiba Satellite A300D 18 months but 2 months now I have problems.

    Everytime I open a game my machine is warming and that in 5 minutes turn off itself. When I look at the videos my computer heats up very well and I can't bring to Toshiba Service to fix, because six monts has now im abroad. I think that if I take options down to the bottom of my screen it will be better.

    My graphics card is 128 MB, but using my ram and its 892 MB, how can I close the ram usage view? My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A300D PSAK4E, if someone help on this, I will be very happy because I am back in my country after 5 months, and up until this time I can't give my machine in i.t. for fixing.

    Hi zero_1,

    Maybe it s is not necessary that you need a professional to an authorized service and you can fix this problem yourself.

    Sometimes a notebook should be cleaned from time to time because there is a lot of dust in the cooling fans. It can be cleaned with a spray of compressed air is very easy.

  • Re: New value-added Package does not work on Satellite A300D

    Hi all

    Hoping you can help me keep my good deal Toshiba Satellite A300D I ve purchased.

    I can't turn off my mouse touchpad like the disenable isn t available option. My function/hot keys also don't work.
    Called Toshiba who advised I have download the VAP via tinyurl.com what I did. Its now sitting on my desk.

    What should I do to get her active as always impossible to disable touchpad? Reboots do not solve the problem. Do I have to find a type of 'run' action to fix, and if so, how?

    Thank you very much

    Hello!

    Normally, you can disable or enable the touchpad in the Synaptics driver.
    Go to the control panel-mouse-device-online settings setting online online
    In addition, enable/disable the touchpad, you need the utility of the touchpad. You can download this package on the Toshiba site.

    Also make an update of the Hot Key utilities.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A300D and ExpressCard Remote control

    Hello guys,.

    I own a Satellite A300D-135, y at - it an available for this model remote control? I'm looking for a remote control that fits in ExpressCard location as some HP models have.
    I looked at several Dutch hardware well known, but I can't find a remote that fits the ExpressCard location.
    I give many presentations and therefore use my laptop a lot. I would like to have a remote control that fits in ExpressCard location because that saves space and a remote control of such a size is easy to "hide" in your hand.

    Kind regards
    Hunterseaker

    As much as I know Toshiba doesn t offers remote control for this model of laptop. The question is whether a third party product is available on the market.
    To be honest I have no interest in something like that, but I just want to recommend you to visit the web page of Logitech. They have so many products for PCs and laptops. Maybe they have a solution for the remote control that you can use with your laptop.

    If you can find some interesting product please post the link.

    Good luck!

  • Not always have connectivity LAN on my Satellite A300D

    Hello

    I have a problem on my new Toshiba Satellite A300D-168 and cannot find a solution, that's why I'm asking for help in the official Forum of Toshiba.

    Brief explanation of the problem:
    Whenever I plug the cable into the Marvell Yukon 88E8040T PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller Socket I can observe how the line under the area of network connectivity (it's "Netzwerkverbindung" in German, I don't know the exact equivalent on English Vista systems) switches beetween 'enabled' and "network cable has been removed" (again once I do not know the English equivalent but in German It's "Aktiviert" and "Netzwerkkabel wurde removed"). It happens every second. It is like a branch and unplug the cable all the time. As a result, fires, taking green flash every second, then they disappeared again (no green light constant).
    Logically, it is impossible to get a connection network because of this problem.
    I tried everything and I search everywhere but I can't find a solution.

    I am running Vista Home Premium 32-bit, it's no firewall problem, no cable (I tried 6 cables, who work on other machines), no router problem (because I do not have a router ;)) and I got the latest driver version (even tried more old - same problem).)

    Any ideas? :(

    Thanks in advance,

    dot.

    PS: Excuse my bad English, I'm obviously out of practice ;)

    If this question doesn't show up under Vista OS the problem must be related to the software.

    Try to update the driver LAN and update Windows XP to the last State. I mean that all Windows XP patches and hotfixes must be installed to ensure the good condition of the market.

    Finally go to the Device Manager and go to LAN card properties.
    There, you must disable the saving option and take a look in the Advanced tab.

    Here, you can also disable power options and play around with more parameters.

  • Satellite A300D-126 downgrade Vista to XP

    Hi all

    I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A300D, model 126, with Windows Vista Home Premium (PSAK4E).
    These days I tried to install Windows XP Professional with SP2 on my laptop.

    First, I made a new partition (D :) for the new operating system.
    I installed the OS XP on the D: drive. I expect to be able to choose between the two OS (Vista and XP) when I start the computer.
    After you have installed all the drivers for XP, I took on the Toshiba site, I realized the SM Bus controller driver is still not installed.

    Where can I get this driver?
    Secondly, how can I choose between two operating systems when you start the computer?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all I hope that you have created a Toshiba Recovery disk in order to recover the laptop if something will go wrong.

    Now to your installation of Win XP.
    The installation of Win XP has damaged the Vista Boot Manager.
    If you want to start the two BONES, then you will have to boot from the original Microsoft Vista disc to repair the boot manager.
    After the boot manager has been repaired and you started the Vista device you can use a tool called Vista Boot Pro to include the Win XP to the Vista boot loader.

    See you soon

  • Satellite A300D does not illuminate

    Toshiba Satellite A300D does not illuminate

    The battery light is red when it is plugged in with the light of the white plug

    When I press the power button it lights up two other fires, and one that looks like a sheet a4 fact paper.it a vibration when turning it on also.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.
    Leave the laptop unplugged and then hold down power button / stop along 30 sec.
    Then reconnect the two parts and check how the unit works.

    In which case nothing would be visible on the screen, try replacing the RAM modules. Perhaps one of the modules is the troublemaker
    Otherwise if the RAM modules are OK, the problem could be linked to the motherboard.

  • Satellite A300D-205 - Fn buttons do not work with Win XP

    Hi all!

    I installed windows XP for my toshiba Satellite A300D-205,

    I found compatible drivers and all devices work properly except multimedia functions Fn and sensor-buttons next to the main keyboard!

    I tried to install Toshiba Value Package added, but it does not work in win XP...

    Do you have ideas of how make this stuff work? Y at - it Toshiba VAP for XP?

    All responses appreciated. Thank you.

    Kind regards...

    Look, man

    The VAP (value added package) was designed for Win Vista and Win 7 ONLY!
    There is no PPV for Win XP!

    Satellite A300D-205 belongs to the PSAHCE but the Toshiba series European driver page does not provide the Win XP drivers for this series! There are only Vista or Win 7 drivers.

    To be honest, Win XP is oldie was a King in the past, but the King living death the King (Win 7)

    I doubt that you will get Win XP drivers created for this series and so I doubt that you will get to the buttons FN.
    But of course, you can try to install common Module, Hotkey Utility, utility Hotkey to published display to other devices perhaps series (A300, A200, etc.), you could get the tools running that would allow the FN keys
