• Is impossible to recover the Satellite A300-1QD (VISTA)

  Hey I have a problem.

  I tried to restore my Toshiba Satellite A300-1QD parameters by pressing the F8 key.
  I followed every step correcrtly, but when it came to 99% the computer was off all of a sudden.

  I don't know why, but maybe the computer got overheated or something, but I've had enough battery life.
  Then I tried to turn it on again and it is said there may have been some damage and he said I should put a "a CD to install Windows" as a first step, step says that I should choose a language, and step 3 says I should click on REPAIR.
  HE DIDN'T THERE HAS NO OTHER OPTIONS.

  Then he said: if I do not have the CD, I must contact the producer.
  As I remember, I do not have any what CD with my Toshiba when I bought a year or two ago.
  All I have is a yellow mini CD that says DISK of DRIVER on it.

  Is anyone of you know if a recovery CD is shipped with Toshiba Satellite A300?
  And no one knows what I have to do because I think I don't have it?

  Thanks in advance.

  You didn t get the recovery disk because there was an option to create the recovery disk clean you had to read the user manual
  The preinstalled tool called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator can create a recovery disk
  Now it s too late you are not able to boot the system

  In this case, you must order the recovery disk;
  Here you can do;

• Satellite A300 - CEC_MAIN. EXE error at startup

  Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 network and when I run Windows Vista and the error message is displayed. This error is cec_main.exe.

  I have remove the camera assistant software and restart the computer, restart when Windows the message not to apears. I have install the camera assistant software, and this error again.

  Does anyone have the solution?

  Hello

  The CEC_MAIN. EXE application belongs to the software of the camera, and if you have already tried to reinstall, you should check your firewall and security software.
  I think that your security software is blocking this application in order to check this!

  If it doesn't work remove the software and reboot the laptop. Use CCleaner to clean the system and reboot once again. After that, install the latest software for the Toshiba page.

  Hey,.

  You can start Windows in safe mode?

  In addition it might be interesting what you have installed or changed the software/driver. Perhaps restore the system to an earlier point might be useful.

  By the way: did you use a Microsoft Windows 7 disk?

  For my laptop (A300-1HV) I'm looking for drivers downloads.

  There are a lot of drivers that have a date LATER change of date, but the LOWER version number.
  Or if you wish, an EARLIER date change date and SUPERIOR version number.

  Is there a reason for update or you do not have the best thing to do?

  Maybe that sounds stupid but I'd like to know why you need it.

• Impossible to use the Satellite L350 recovery disk

  I bought the recovery disc for my Satellite L350-370 followed instructions beginning now stopped program to "waiting for odd vacancies" moment for this strange worked perfectly.

  Laptop only if off now and no keys work.

  Help!

  I really don't understand what is happening here. I used the disc of recovery many times and I've never seen this message.
  By default the BIOS settings and restart your laptop. When the laptop starts up and you see Toshiba welcome screen press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu. When the start menu is shown on the screen, place the recovery in the optical disc drive disk. After doing this choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER. What happens when you do this?

  ODD must begin to read the recovery disk and you should see recovery on the screen menu.

• Satellite A300 - Question about BIOS password

  Hello

  on the machine, I had a bios password set for the start.
  After that I put this password empty start it asks me for some other password enter the bios menu.
  I am able to boot up the laptop, launch Vista and do what I want to do besides enterering the Bios.

  Advice to solve this problem?
  Tried to update the bios, did not help.
  Looked in the internet for a description where to find CMOS batt. Still no idea.

  Best regards
  Rob

  Hello

  Are you sure that you have set the BIOS password?
  If you set the BIOS password then the laptop would request the password before it would start in Windows Vista.

  I think that set you the password of the user or supervisor password!

  In Toshiba Assist-> Secure you could erase that two passwords too.

• Satellite A300-1GC - turn off when I play games

  Hello

  I try to explain my problem (I'll try because English isn't my motherlanguage wull so hards to ensure that you understand me Hi!).
  Usually I use my Satellite A300-1GC also for two or three days (I watch divx on tv and other small applications, but nothing special) and never happened to me that yesterday was happing!

  I installed a game (Jekyll & Hyde) and I played it with the pc cable hook up to electricity. After a while (I think only an hour) the computer turns off! After that was not possibel to turn it on nothing! No light was on the same battery icon nothing complitely dead! After about 10 minutes instead of the icons light was on and so I was able to restart the computer. Windows XP doesn't give me any error on the "blackout" reports the system. I restarted the game and play with him for about two hours without any problem! If you have something (hihihihi) understud my question is:

  Whay you do that I can do so that this accident will not happen more? Is there some test or newspaper or something similar I can read to see if there is any hardware/software problems? May need a BIOS update? I mean, is there anyone who have the same laptop and have similar experience and sort it out with an update?
  On short time I'm planing to install windows 7 (two DVDs I received from Toshiba) but first I must address this problem.

  I thank the of in advance for help
  Helen

  PS: Once again at 11:36 the laptop shut down whenm I played :(

  Hi Helen_1,

  Usually, if the laptop shuts down during a game, it s caused by a higher internal temperature to protect the equipment.

  I put t know how long you already have Satellite A300, but usually the laptop must be cleaned every 3 months using a jet of compressed air. You will find here in the forum how an article on this subject:
  [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

  Also make sure that this new Toshiba Web site display driver is installed.

• To change the Satellite A300 - 1 G 5 for another similar model

  I started using the Satellite A300 - 1 G 5 in October 2008. I liked its sleek black design perfect, but his memory crashed. The service center offers to change my laptop for another with the same characteristics. But I put t know which one to choose. I would, of course, Toshiba.

  I will be grateful to everyone

  If you want to have the Satellite A300 once again I recommend to use the model of PSAG8E. I have more than a year now and I'm really happy with it.
  If you have the opportunity to take other, more recent, portable check new Satellite A500. I like it.
  There are 16 display, refined design and wonderful backlit keyboard.

• Recovery Disc Creator Error - Satellite A300-1GN

  First of all, sorry for my English, but it is not my mother tongue. On my problrm, short and simple technique:
  I use Toshiba Satellite A300-1GN with Vista 32 bit. I tried to create a recovery using Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator disc.

  I inserted a new DVD disc in the DVD burner and program was working fine but suddenly that he will miss just give an error with something like that 'there was an error in the calibration of reinforcement sector. "Error code: 0E01B5-26-00037304"

  What's wrong?

  What should I do to create the disc of tha? I can only add, that I turned my system of any virus just as it was said in manual Toshiba, but it did not help.

  Pleas, help.

  Hello

  I agree with the codes for the TDKs are not bad and I had a very good experience with these media.
  I tried to burn the recovery disk using another brand and I've damaged 3 DVD + R discs
  Then I went to the TDK DVD - R and it is ok

  I think that questions is related to the question of the compatibility between the discs and the STRANGE...
  So it of really worth to test different media!

  Good luck

• Satellite A300 - voltage to the Mexico problem

  Currently, I use my Satellite A300 in Europe (I bought it here too), where the voltage is 230V.
  I go to the Mexico and I would like to take this laptop with me.

  However, in Mexico, they have a different voltage - AFAIK 100-127V.
  Is it enough to buy the new adapter arriving at the Mexico?

  Thanks for the reply!

  Hello

  AFAIK all Toshiba laptops are equipped with adapters that supports an entry universal voltage 100 ~ 240V 50/60 Hz.

  As you can see, the input voltage may be between 100V and 240V. I think that you will have no problem to the Mexico ;)

• Satellite A300-1IK - impossible to update Vista

  Hello

  I recently reset my Satellite A300 to its default values by using the utility HDDRecovery. Now, the OS is Vista Home Premium SP1, but I'm not able to update vista drivers or get the upgrade to SP2, so I was struck with my SP1 default.

  I tried installing updates with automatic update, or manually checking the updates under "Windows Update" options. I have achieved anything with the first method (planned updates begin at all), while with the second method when I click on the button "Search for updates", it tells me "impossible to verify new updates; CODE ERROR 80072EFE»
  So I tried to download the executable update packages microsoft official to their download area, but all fail to install.
  What am I supposed to do?

  Thanks in advance, Alessandro

  Hi caiusteblack,

  > So I tried to download the executable update packages microsoft official to their download area, but all fail to install.
  Pack update that you downloaded?

  Of way General if SP1 is already installed you can begin with the installation of SP2 for Vista but SP1 must be installed in the first place. SP2 is available for download on the official site of Microsoft (no Windows Update). Download SP2 and run the install and check what is happening.

• Satellite A300-Y00 - how to use a joystick for games?

  How can I connect my Satellite A300/y00 with joystick so I can play without a keyboard because its very difficult to use?

  What one should I get, like joystick ps2 or gamepad xbox since the microsoft xbox and im using microsoft software such vista...?
  But my laptop has what we call the game controller in the Control Panel, it means that I always install the software to use the joystick?

  Thanx

  It s your choice what joystick you want to buy. Go to a computer store and take a look at all the joysticks and buy one of them.

  Normally you need a driver for the joystick, but the joystick should be bundled with an installation disk that contains the drivers.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A300-1IK - installation after Windows I can't use the multimedia keys

  I tried to clean my laptop, so I installed Windows7 64-bit using my code, but now that I also donwloaded all drivers, I still can't use easy media keys (as for Windows Media Player, or those who must play/stop music, ect..)

  No one knows how to fix this?

  Hi dilettafornasiero,

  I think you forgot to install Toshiba value added Package this package contains the driver for these buttons (lighted) media where you can start Windows media player, for example.

  You should check the Web from Toshiba site again and search for VAP also indicated for Satellite A300. Download and install the package and after I restarted the lighted buttons should start working.

  Check this box!
