• Satellite U300 - white screen after reboot

  I have a 3 yo Satellite U300 (with Vista), which was usually in good working order until this morning. It froze a little bit when I had iTunes open so I restarted. He now has a completely blank screen.

  I tried to stop and restart several times, I tried to plug it into an external monitor and have tried to remove the battery and drain the power I had read recommended on another forum.

  It also seems to be from running as it should (turns on, fan is on, etc) but I can't get anything on the screen.

  Any ideas?

  Hey,.

  If you can t get an image on the external display, it appears to be a malfunction of the motherboard, CPU, RAM or anything, but the internal screen should be ok

  Hmm. In your case, I had read this article, maybe it helps:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=21

  In the worst cases, you need professional help of an authorized service provider. Guys can check your laptop and repair because they have access to the databases of Toshiba and order new parts.

  Good luck! :)

• Installation of Windows XP on Satellite U300

  I need to downgrade my laptop from vista to XP pro. After "slipstreaming" the new drivers sata in XP, I installed windows xp.

  After installing all the drivers (and drivers from the chipset), I left two questionmarks. (other devices)
  I really have no idea what are these two devices.
  When I look in Device Manager it shows
  -devices instance id: ACPI\TOS620A\2 & DABA3FF & 0
  and the other shows the device:
  PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_444E & SUBSYS_444E8086 & REV_01\4 5EDAD & 23F & 0 & 00E0

  Any suggestions? Or new drivers for Windows XP Home Edition?

  Hello

  A question:

  Have you installed all XP drivers such as mentioned in the installation instructions?

  Installation instructions are on the page of the Toshiba driver. You must follow the order of installation.

  By the way; the DABA3FF & ACPI\TOS620A\2 & 0 seem to be a driver of shock protection Toshiba HDD.
  In my opinion, you can find it in the HDD Protection Utility.

  However, the installation instructions should be cheeks and you should follow it!

• Satellite U300 - nothing happens when SD/SDHC cards are plugged

  Got a Satellite U300 with Vista home premium
  Got a year ago almost and is never used the SD card reader. Now I want to use it, but can't find how to achieve or why it does not work?

  Insertion of a card in the card reader does not answer at all.

  Is there anything need to be turned on?
  All drivers that must be installed (tried a driver read SD but no luck with that)?
  It is a software error or machine?

  Thanks for the replies.

  Hello

  Hmm... It of difficult to say what s wrong
  I think that you first need to understand if you use compatible cards.
  I put t know what U300 you exactly but some U300 supports these cards:

  8MB - 2 GB SD card
  4 GB SDHC card
  16MB - 2 GB xD Picture card
  Memory Stick 8 to 256 MB
  Memory Stick Pro 256 MB to 2 GB
  MultiMediaCard 8 MB - 1 GB
  miniSD (with SD adapter) 32 MB - 2 GB

  Check if you used the card support.

  In addition, you should check the status of the SD card reader in Device Manager if there is some yellow exclamation points. If so, then this would mean that the unit is not installed and working properly.

• HP G60 - 127CL with XP laptop hardware Downgrade from Vista to XP question

  We have recently bought a HP G60-127 CL laptop and downgraded the OS from Vista to XP Professional with SP3 home.  I found all the drivers and installed them.  All pilots show that "working properly" and everything works except the network controller (wireless I think).  When I go to Device Manager, then in the other devices section, it says "network controller" with yellow?  Note: I installed the driver wireless adapter lan Broadcom 802.11 including hp recommended, rebooted, but still does not work.  I tried reinstalling the drivers, installation of versions of different driver, installation of service pack 3, reinstall XP, etc, but nothing works.  My network card works fine, so I figure that he need Wireless Lan because I can't turn on.  Any ideas?

  Here is the answer. It's an Atheros card not a Broadcom. Atheros AR5009.

• Satellite L350-170 - downgrade from Vista to XP

  Heya I write about the downgrade from Vista to XP.

  I play world of warcraft online game, I think that my laptop is good enough to run it, but I get little FPS (Frames Per Second) I do belive Vista drains your computer and is no friendly case like performance than XP. I have Vista Home Premium, I was trolling internet reading how to etc... Some forums said that some manufacturers of computer/laptop can provide a Vista 2 XP disks. I was wondering does toshiba? If this is not the case, how it would be difficult to downgrade from Vista? Is there a risk of bricking my laptop? could u do a list of things that I would need and a guide step by step on how downgrade but remembering I'm not a computer very know how nobody so keep it very basic =)
  Also - what is void your warranty? I would be able to send my laptop for toshiba and they do?

  Take advantage of my wall of text

  Hello!

  Downgrade from Vista to XP isn't very difficult and it should be possible that you can do yourself.

  You need at least one drive in Microsoft Windows XP with SP2. Boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. But you need the SATA drivers, the computer can recognize the HARD drive. For drivers, you need Intel Storage Manager, which can be downloaded on the site of Toshiba and this is workaround step by step how to do this:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

  If you have installed XP, you must install all the drivers and tools for this. All what you need you can find on the Toshiba site:

• Satellite U300 falls down and cannot wake up from sleep mode

  Hello

  I got a Satellite U300 a few days and I get in trouble, when the laptop goes into sleep mode.
  The thing is that when he goes to sleep, the screen turns off but the light stays on (blue), instead of flashing with an orange color.

  It is not possible to wake the portable computer, and the only solution is to restart the computer.

  I tried the different possibilities to enter sleep mode, and I get the problem mainly when the computer is in high-performance Vista and when you press the stop button in the quick menu.

  I know Vista gives a certain a lot of problems, but I didn't know anyone here who face the same problem.
  Should I send the laptop back to technical support?

  Thanks in advance,

  I had the opportunity to work a little with several laptops from Toshiba, and one of them was Satellite U300. After a brief check of the basic functions for laptop I can say with certainty that switch between mode and standby/hibernation mode work well and I didn't notice any problems.

  I really don't understand what is wrong with that, but please do:
  -If you want to switch to standby mode, choose option using the button START.
  -Wait a bit and I hope after a few seconds, the laptop will change automatically in standby mode (blinking amber LED)
  -Close the cover
  -Wait a moment opened the lid and press the power button
  I really hope that your laptop will start correctly and you will be able to use the OS again.

  Good bye

• Satellite U400 - Downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello guys,.

  I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite U400/03 s with a pre-installed version of Vista business & do not like. It came with a recovery disk for Windows XP Pro product. This confused me a bit. Can I downgrade Vista Business with XP Pro?

  Also, if I do not need to register with Mircosoft XP, where can I get the registration key of?

  Greatly forward a response.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  A downgrade from Vista to XP is possible. Why not?
  But as far as I know, so you need to reinstall the full specifications but in my opinion, this isn't a problem because you have the XP Recovery disk. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

  But before that, you you should burn the Windows Vista recovery disk. How do you know this? You need to start only the Toshiba recovery disc creator and you need a blank DVD. Then the Vista recovery disk will be created, and if you want new Vista, you must start only on this disc. That s all because it contains the settings factory and if all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  If you have installed XP you must register it on Microsoft. It is not necessary.
  AFAIK, you must enter a product key. It of already on the recovery disk.
