Issues keys FN on Satellite Pro L300

• 8 issues of the new owner of the Satellite Pro L300

  Hello to all forum users!

  I bought a new Toshiba, the Satellite Pro L300 laptop and have until January 14 to test - if it looks like it is not working properly I will return it to the store where I bought it.

  Here is a list of questions I have:

  1. whenever I turn on the laptop or it is suspension or hibernation mode, and when I disable it, the cd/dvd drive makes a clumsy mechanical noise.

  It seems to me like the cart that transports the laser and optics is running in a mechanical stop.

  Is this normal?

  2. There is a hot sub-pixel on the screen (in blue) and according to the Toshiba info in the box, this is normal and does not return.

  Should I worry about this?

  3. when I run the test memory at the start of the system, she says she'll start windows automatically at the end of the trial and show me the results of the test.

  It performs the test, Vista boot, but I see no reports of results.

  Where can I find the report?
  Is there a known issue with this test?

  4. the service program Toshiba to perform diagnostics of slot Vista does not work. Whenever I run the test (PCdiag.exe) I get an error message Vista saying a defect was found in the KERNEL32.dll module.

  Where can I get a fix for this?
  I have already installed the updated files on the Toshiba web site for the "Value Pack", which is where this utility, but still not the error message.

  5. I want access the settings of the bios at startup, but have not found a way to do it again.
  F2 gives me a menu for memory test or normal boot system.
  ESC is not me in bios Setup either.
  There is a utility for bios Toshiba that I can run Vista, and I see that any upgrade bios firmware should also be done through Vista.

  Is there a way to access bios at startup?

  6. I would like to run XP on this system and realized that this model (Pro L300 PSLB1E) is compatible XP, and I should be able to download all the drivers from Toshiba to run under XP.

  Does anyone do this?

  7. the laptop and configured Vista Basic when I did the first power on, but the license sticker on the bottom of the laptop has a product key for "Vista OEMAct Business." I was captivated by this laptop as the option to revert to XP Pro with Vista business. The box did not come with any CD or DVD and no manuals explaining how to install Vista Business.

  This is reason enough to return the laptop in the store where I bought it, which is a chore, I prefer to avoid if I can install Vista Business.

  Can someone help me understand what is happening here?

  8. is there a way to contact technical support by e-mail?

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer all of these questions!

  Hello

  Two weeks ago, I worked several days on friends Satellite Pro L300. Your questions are interesting and I will try to provide an answer or comment.

  1 this is normal behavior. I noticed it on other models of computer laptop too. Right now I use Satellite P200D and I noticed the same thing.

  2. of course, you may have noticed a dead on the screen pixel and more on what you can read on
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB5400ZD0002R01.htm
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ8702EI0000R01.htm

  3. maybe follow links can help a better understanding:
  http://web1.Toshiba.ca/support/TechSupport/TSBs/all/-TSB001369.htm
  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial146.html

  4. what to say about this? I t has not noticed this error and I can recommend just reinstall full VAP. Remove preinstalled system, restart your computer and install the latest version of the Toshiba download page.

  5. When you start the laptop downstairs you can find info how to enter the BIOS settings. It usually takes F2. I really don't understand what is wrong in your case, but must work F2. Press immediately after turning on your laptop. Press several times. You have to work

  6. If you can find the download page of drivers, tools and utilities on Toshiba Windows XP Home edition, you should be able to install and configure Windows XP Home edition on this model of laptop. For the installation of Windows XP edition family please use Windows XP SP2 home edition.

  7. This must be clarified with your local dealer. The fact is that Toshiba doesn t offer any CD/DVD and recovery DVDs must be created by the owner of the laptop. I presume that you didn t seen or read Toshiba reminder about it. This point explains exactly what needs to be done.
  The recovery media can be created using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator. The shortcut is placed on the desktop.

  8. I'm afraid, you must contact the hotline, but as far as I know Toshiba's toll-free hotline.
  Call and ask if there is something you want to know.

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro L300-1AF fails to start

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-1AF that won't start, it stopped working a few weeks ago and I tried startup repair and things, and nothing seemed to work just kept loading a black screen with a cursor but nothing else. After a little more research, I found out how to restore to factory settings holding the 0 key etc. when I tried this he got 54% then the screen everything went black and now it used to boot. It happens with just:

  -Unable to start windows. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

  file:\Windows\system32\winload.exe
  status: 0xc000000e
  Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

  He also says to insert your installation disc, but I have not one when I bought it.

  -What this means and how can I solve this problem? I tried the factory restore and just make it even worse.

  Any help or advice would be much appreciated

  Hello
  > He also says to insert your installation disc, but I have not one when I bought it.
  That's your first problem. This model laptop was delivered without disc recovery but the preinstalled software that allows you to create a recovery media. All this is clearly described in the document s user manuals.
  Now, your original Vista operating system has disappeared. On this path virtual I can't say with certainty what the problem is, but somehow, I think the HARD drive's troublemaker.

  What to do now? First you need the Windows installation for the installation of the OS disc. Original Vista may not be used more so my advice to you is to get the Win7 32 bit install disc and try to install it on your machine. Win7 is entirely compatible, so there is no problem to install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities.

  By default the BIOS settings and try to install Win7. If the same problem recurs and Setup will stop I m afraid HARD drive is defective. If possible, try to get another HDD for testing purposes.

  You know you have to play a bit with your machine now and find out what the problem is.

• BSOD STOP 0 x 00008086 on Satellite Pro L300 - 1 K PSLB9E

  Hello

  My son came back from uni with his laptop which, to quote ' is knacked - no idea what the problem - been like that for weeks...» »

  At startup, it goes to the green bar of process, then goes off, then comes up with the BSOD - technical details: Stop:

  0 x 00008086 (0x00000000) (0x00000000) (0x00000000) (0x00000000)

  At this point, I didn't get any action with her, when I make a bad situation worse.

  The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 - 1 K (PSLB9E) running Windows Vista.
  (I would provide more information, if I could, but can't until I can start to check specifications)

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  BSOD can be caused by a hardware or software problem.
  First of all, you should check if it s not software related issue.
  In such cases, it of needed to reinstall the Windows operating system.
  Usually the new OS installed should not cause any BSOD!

  If the Toshiba Recovery disk does not help you, then you should start to investigate
  It may be a cause of modules defective memory BSOD issue very often.

  However, if you have no knowledge about computers, then you should ask a technician to downtown to control parts.

• Satellite Pro L300 - no sound with Win7 64

  I have the laptop according to:

  [Satellite Pro L300-1AF | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=1058007&DISC _topSpeed = 1 & service = UK]

  I installed Win7 on the laptop, and now I can't get any sound. When you set the volume control, the level display changes on the operating system, so I guess everything is ok with the connections. I tried many different drivers, including the currently recommended drivers, as well as all the previous pilots (including drivers for different versions of the VICTORY, as suggested on some forums) after many hours trying to solve the problem, nothing seems to work.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  Hello

  This means that the sound card is properly installed in Device Manager and you don t have no yellow exclamation?

  Perhaps portable speakers are silent. Simply press the combination of keys FN + ESC enable/disable sound.

• Satellite Pro L300 - second defective memory Slot?

  Hi, I'm trying to install 4 GB of memory in a laptop Satellite Pro L300. This kind of thing, I did a thousand times before.

  However, every time I install a module of memory in the second memory slot, the laptop will be a blue screen when windows is loaded. Even running memtest (via bootable cd) will result in a block, so it is not for lack of Windows.

  I have the latest version of the BIOS installed (1.50)

  Each module of memory works perfectly in the main location on its own.

  With the help of a single module of memory in the memory secondary slot (even the original 1 GB module) translates the laptop does not even start.

  Is this a known issue? Or is it just a second faulty slot?

  Thank you very much!

  Maybe it's a non compatible memory module.

  What model of laptop you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
  What extra RAM you bought?
  Have you checked the compatibility?

  To be honest on this forum you will find many forums where people have described the same problem after upgrade. Most of these problems described was linked to the use of markets and not compatible good RAM modules.

• Satellite Pro L300: x 3100 and updated updated driver chipset Intel 965 graphics

  Has anyone installed the Intel 7.15.10.1666 driver, dated 02/26/2009 for the Mobile 965 chipset? Here is their web page to download:

  http://www.Intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/

  Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 doesn't work for some reason unknown to me, with the automatic update driver Intel (download containing the executable file). Therefore, I followed the instructions for manual installation (the download with the zip file).

  My laptop works fine with this new driver, and there is a clear improvement in the transitions between images when you use the option to Windows presentation (slideshow).

  This new driver installs also 3 Intel graphics programs:
  For the management of the display function keys
  Access to the system tray
  Wizard TV

  I used Windows Defender to remove these 3 programs that load automatically at startup of the system to maintain a fast startup time and not loading unnecessary programs in memory. There is no me no problem.

  Why Toshiba has added that this to the driver download page?

  Hello

  Thanks for this second info...

  > Why Toshiba has added that this to the driver download page?
  Who knows maybe it has not been verified, approved and tested by Toshiba?

  As far as I know every phone manufacturers test and approve drivers before they will be released in the pages of pilot
  Perhaps, it has not been approved...

  However, it s good new that this driver works correctly.
  I'll check it too on my laptop.

• Shortcut keyboard Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 - properties will not end

  Dear lovers of Toshiba:

  This week, we have installed three new systems of Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 (two L300-153, a L300-156) with recovery media for Windows XP since the L300-156 product (no date on the disc, only two codes: CD 5 124624 and GMR400841EN0).

  The machines are beautiful and very effective, except for one problem: when the logout or shutdown Windows XP, the program called 'The Toshiba keyboard shortcut properties' does not stop automatically and opens a dialog "end program". The user may terminate the program immediately by clicking on the button 'End now' or wait until it to expire, after which the system disconnects or terminate normally.

  We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied. (We will be definitely check this on the following system and display the result.) Install the rest updates Windows with Service Pack 3 does not resolve the problem. Not more then that uninstall Toshiba Hotkey Utility by installing the package current, freshly downloaded from the Toshiba support area.

  A colleague suggested disabling startup programs. There are two likely choices for this purpose in the startup list + of + msconfig +: * thotkey * and * TFncKy *. Disabling either of these programs allows the disappearance of problem, but the functions of the * Fn keys are lost. The key functions are also lost when uninstalling the Toshiba Hotkey Utility.

  My question is of two parts:
  # Comment this problem be solved permanently, or circumvented (other than to say the customer never disconnect & close always the cover to hibernate)?
  # If there is no solution yet, how can a bug report situate with Toshiba, so I can get them the information they need to solve this problem and establish the responsibility?
  I will continue to post new information here that I acquire until a permanent solution is reached.

  Although this problem seems trivial and 'cosmetic' it's always awkward having to provide new machines customers with such an obvious flaw. It ourselves and Toshiba look bad, especially after that we sold the idea that people avoid problems of this kind to choose a Windows XP on Vista platform.

  Thank you, Robert Phair
  Director.

  > We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied

  Problems could be caused by Win XP SP3. I've read several times that SP3 could be not entirely compatible with drivers or 3rd tools
  So I guess there is a problem of compatibility between the exe and SP3 files.
  By the way; SP3 is not completely released and updated test!

  I installed SP3 for some tests on my old non-Toshiba laptop and my work LAN card didn't so it of really possible that SP3 causes this.

  > There are two likely choices for this in the msconfig startup list: thotkey and TFncKy. Disabling either of these programs, the disappearance of the problem, but the functions of the Fn keys are lost

  It is clear that the thotkey and TFncKy files belong to applications that control the FN keys, SO if you would disable this in msconfig then buttons would not work.

  So, a solution might be a removal of SP3 System.
  In addition, you should try to clean the registry and operating system using the free tool like CCleaner.

  > Hope to get a response from an engineer from Toshiba, if there is no monitoring of this forum.
  I hope this too, but it seems that this forum is only a user forum.
  So if you want to report this behavior for laptop, contact the Toshiba ASP in your country

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro L300 WiFi continues to drop and doesn't reconnect until you restart

  Hi, I have a Satellite Pro L300, number of model PSLB9E - 00G007EN running windows Vista professional.

  Recently I started trying to connect to my wifi at home instead of using the ethernet cable.

  Research shows my home network and then I connect with the password, everything all right at this stage, sometimes an hour, sometimes for 10 minutes and then the connection disappears. When I try and re-connect it does not find any wifi network, but I have not moved from where I was when I was connected. I have I-phones, etc. and another laptop running windows 8 connected wireless, and there is no problem with any other machine, just my toshiba!

  Sometimes if I turn off the wifi using the switch at the front and then put it again which solves it, but once again only for another 10/20 or 30 minutes. Sometimes even that does not work and I have to restart the machine to find the network! It works, but once again for a limited period until he gave up the connection and it disappears again, back to square one.

  I even tried to take this work and connect to the wi - fi, but still exactly the same thing happens, so I think I can rule out problems with my home network / router.

  I'm not very good with computers, but have managed to check if the driver is up-to-date, etc., and all appear here... Help, please!

  I think that the wireless is the following: Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802. 11b / g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network adapter

  The driver version is: 6.1162.610.2009

  My Windows Vista Business 64-bit is by the way

  > I think that the wireless is the following: Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802. 11b / g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network adapter
  Yes, you are right, the laptop seems to be equipped with the Realtek RTL8187B WLan card.
  This wireless network card supports 802.11 B and G standard.

  First update the WLan driver.
  Here you can find the latest WLan drivers available on the Realtek page:
  [Driver Realtek RTL8187 WLan: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=40&Level= 5 & Conn = 4 & DownTypeID = 3 & GetDown = false & downloads = EU tr]

  This driver is for Win XP / Vista / Win 7

  In the event that the issue will not be resolved, go to the Device Manager.
  Choose the WLan card-> properties and go to the Advanced tab
  Here, choose either the 802 standard. 11 B or G. This setting depends on the settings of your router. If your router supports 802. 11 G, you must choose G

• Satellite Pro L300 - where to get the recovery DVDs

  Hello

  Can someone help me please.

  My satellite pro L300 laptop has crashed I have repaired.
  Unfortunately, I have no operating system such as Windows Vista recovery disk.

  I can't find how to get these discs on Toshibe website or to be honest, that these disks are correctly as.

  Any help would be appreciated...

  Hello

  The laptop supports recovery of HARD drive option. This means that you can reinstall the image of Toshiba without using the recovery DVD. You must boot up the laptop and press the F8 key. The advanced boot menu is displayed and there you choose the first option to fix my computer. Then choose recovery Toshiba (last option) and start the installation.

  After this installation, you can use the Toshiba pre-installed called TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator to create an own recovery DVDs software of engraving

  But if you have formatted the HARD drive, the repair option won't work because the recovery folder has also been removed. In this case, you will not be abele to create clean restore DVD.

  But you can order it here:

• Cannot disable my Satellite Pro L300 PSLB9U

  Hello!
  I don't know what happened, maybe it's when I used a type of program registry cleaner: advanced system optimizer, or a virus my pc infected too: Worm/Autoit.AGW or AGX... but now when I want to stop the laptop, nothing happens.
  I made a backup of this registry cleaning and when I restored it, the first time I could shut down windows, but now it no longer works...

  I tried to boot from a dvd with xp sp3 and it reports a problem, maybe a virus or a bad hard drive.

  What can I do?
  and if I have to install xp all still once, where I find drivers Toshiba, utility etc that I need? the laptop is supposed to be new, but it's not come up with any dvd... it's a small store in Mexico City, almost a laptop second hand I think...

  Thanks for your help!

  > I tried to boot from a dvd with xp sp3, and report a problem, maybe a virus or a bad hard drive
  This may be a virus, because the new installation of the OS would erase the entire HARD disk and you'd get a clean OS.
  Maybe it's a hardware problem if it would be a HDD issue then you cannot start the operating system of the s. You would only see an error message that OS has not been found.

  You can check in the BIOS if the HARD drive is recognized, otherwise will need you a new HARD drive.

  The new laptops Toshiba are not equipped with recovery DVDs!
  There's a reminder installed on the laptop and it says that you must create a disk recovery first!
  Looks like you've ignored it or didn't check this and now you have any disk :(

  In any case, Toshiba drivers are on the Toshiba page we because I think that it is a Toshiba model we
