• Satellite A300-1mz: update Bios or not?

  Hello...

  I have a Satellite a300-1mz PSAGCE and I've never update of the Bios. It is bios Insyde 1.70 (24/11/2008)

  Should be the latest version, right?
  If I decide to upgrade, what are the benefits? It is really necessary or just recommended?

  Furthermore, if I would upgrade with a new 500 GB hard drive, it works correctly with the bios 1.70 or new hard drive needs higher BIOS?

  I would like to find a hd that does not exceed 45note ° with all night, video editing and long scan and which will be very quiet...

  Thank you

  > If I decide to upgrade, what are the benefits? It is really necessary or just recommended?
  The BIOS update is recommended only if you have problems with your laptop.
  If your laptop is running properly, then a BIOS update is not necessary!

  > Besides, if I would upgrade with a new 500 GB hard drive, it works correctly with the 1.70 bios or new HDD needs higher BIOS?
  The new HARD drive should be recognized by the BIOS correctly event it s an old version.
  It's not easy to say what HARD drive is the best.
  Usually faster HARD drive with rpm higher can be stronger and can develop more heat as a slower HARD drive.

  But in most cases it is not question of speed, HARD drive is it shouldn't t be a temperature problem

• Black screen while playing games on Satellite A300/500 psag4a

  Hi all!

  Before that I send my laptop for repairs (it s only 6 months old) I need to see if I am not mistaken.

  It s a model of Satellite A300/500 PSAG4A

  The problem is that when I play any graphics intensive games the laptop screen goes black and locks. Only a boot cold will get it back.
  Any other time he s not ok no problem, the problem only started 5 days ago, it has the latest drivers and BIOS.

  Once, he went to a blue screen with hardware failure but was quick to get a good overview of what didn't.

  This sounds like a defective video card?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello!

  The laptop gets hot?

  What blue screen you get exactly? This could also be a software problem.

  Here you can check if you have really the latest driver and BIOS:

  Have you tried reinstalling the laptop? Maybe it works after that.

• Slow start up and close on Satellite A300 - 10 M

  Received my new yesterday, laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 10 M with the 15 "screen and I got to the dealer today!

  I tried, some of you may laugh, but after you restore to factory State 3 times, Windows Vista still has 6 minutes to stop and start altogether on this machine, it would normally be the load with the scrolly thing windows is going from left to right, then before he said welcome he would say "Please wait" then he might take a break for about 5 to 6 minutes! Then it says welcome and place comes your office as usual, no problem at all, once the machine was fully loaded.
  I m confused as to why is was so slow because it has 4 GB of RAM

  My laptop sisters from another manufacturing starts and stops in 90 seconds!
  It has only 3 GB of RAM and exactly the same speed processor!

  Experts have no idea why?
  I m gutted because Toshiba had amazing speakers and sound, other manufacture is still good, but not the case in the same league as the Toshiba, sound quality, if it has a 17 "screen, so swings and roundabouts, I guess?
  I removed all the programs and free trials of each of the machines above, I have stuff wouldn t use, I even removed stuff to load at startup using msconfig.

  I called Toshiba and the guy on the phone said that Vista on different machines may differ when loading and closing times, it wasn t any help at all!

  If anyone else here has a Toshiba Satellite computer, you can see how long you must close and restart?

  I would be grateful to know if it was my machine, wasn t prepared to risk to get an exact model and it still take 8 minutes again!
  So far I have always very angry that I now have a machine that does not work properly and is a joke in his time of loading m.

  Hello!

  I've created an interesting thread for you:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=134947

  I used these tips and my Vista runs pretty fast.

  In addition to defragment your HARD drive: click on my computer-right click on the HARD drive-online properties-online tools online => defragment now.
  Defragmentation is a process that reduces the level of fragmentation in file systems.

  I also disable all services that I n t need (start-run-services.msc online online). Take care if you disable services, you should know what you're doing.
  For example, I disable the following services:
  Security Center
  Time Windows
  Windows Firewall

  the screen stays fixed and 'Win Vista' does nothing comands.
  same "ctrl + alt + delete" Task Manager does not. The disc indicator light remains lit, but itself no longer believes it works

  Hello

  > Can I send the laptop as collateral for a free replacement of the same disc?
  If the authorized service provider can notice this problem too, you can get a new HARD drive for free. The ASP will order it and swap it out. It is a free procedure if your laptop is under warranty.

  > sometimes the computer crashes
  The HARD drive is perhaps the reason for this?
  Contact a service provider authorized giving them all the details and information. They can fix that also. :)

• Satellite A300-1mz - duration of battery use

  Hi all

  I have a * a300-1mz * recently over a year and I would like to know the battery of your model of the mine.

  My a300' is very low for me... * on the 1h30m

  Give me everything consults to check the battery warning level (wear) and if it would be good to do the calibration (and how)

  Tanks...

  Hello

  1.5 hours is not bad!
  Battery working time is always based on the use of the laptop.
  Battery needed to dump applications much faster running who need more performance for laptop.

  For example, to watch DVDs;
  In these cases, the reader of CD/DVD to run all the time. This waste a lot of power.
  You can reduce the brightness of the screen in order to increase the working time of battery.

  But note; sooner or later, the battery would die that s normal and during the use of the laptop the battery loses the own performance.

  You can try to calibrate the battery; Completely discharge the battery and charge it again. Repeat this several times

• Satellite A300-1MZ - too short battery working time

  It's just * 1h30m * balancing of Pentecost with a wi - fi mode on
  With the economy mode, it increases very little...: * 1h45m * max.

  I would like to point out that if I use some flash games on line or software that use a lot of cpu (over 60%), lifetime decreases to only * 1 h - 1h10m * max also with aircraft registration...

  I have everything you ask if everything is in standard...

  Don t worry buddy the 1.45 min is OK and it s working time normal battery for ordinary 6-cell battery.

• Satellite A300-17N - t - it have port series and how to get there?

  Hello

  To help my studies in microcontrollers, I need serial port, but I did not on the Panel of my laptop. I know that some laptop models have one on their motherboards, but is not on the Panel. If satellite A300-17N is one of them I enjoy any help and instructions how to get manually.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Satellite A300-17N doesn t have serial port and AFAIK no Satellite A300 was equipped with this port.

  But I saw a few online shops, they listed an Express card that offers the serial port (RS232). I found one on Amazon:
  http://www.Amazon.co.UK/STARTech-com-16C950-ExpressCard-serial-adapter/DP/B000PE6G04/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&QID=1300736594&SR=8-8

  I think it would be easier and less expensive way for serial port. :)

• Satellite A300 closing all playing

  Hello guys

  I tried thing and my Toshiba Satellite A300 keeps closing during the game. It s due to overheating but I ve open the laptop computer and cleaned inside including fans and I ve cleaned the fans so many times and it still overheats.

  I know that my fans aren t at 100% speed is there a way to increase their? (don t tell me to use the fan speed or whatever the name of that program because it doesn t work for me.)

  What should do?

  And what operating system are you using?
  Are you using the original Vista OS with all Toshiba drivers?

  What games do you play?

• Re: Click on Satellite A300 - noisy HARD drive - strange of sound while booting

  Hi all

  I'm new and I would try to solve some problems with my new laptop * SATELLITE A300-1MZ * (with Vista) and * its hard disk * (a MHZ250BH of Fj-simens).

  I noticed that he is very mechanical in the normal conditions of use, in fact, when I turn on my computer, I hear a clear rattling and his mechanic from the HDD at different times also when there should be no disk activity.
  * Particularlly every 3-5 seconds * I hear a very strange noise as a small but very distinguible mechanic "CLAC" (is not refer to number of cycle ordefrag or indexing workload). Ditto on my ubuntu LINUX distro.
  However the phone never crashes

  _It first start Appareed and it's very noise_.
  I would ask if this is normal... It appeared regardless of the AC or battery power source.

  I just make a SMART software which is no problem, but I'm very worried about this problem.
  By phone, I just say all this to the center of Toshiba in my country, but for them all right. The laptop works ok.

  Not to mention that I found that * HDD * becomes * hot * also if there are no programs or processes that use it.
  He begins to 29a ° - 31Â ° and it gets hot with normal use (35 ° - 36Â ° after finished booting and after 30-40 min temperature is become more warm-42a ° - 46Â °, when its average temperature is ° - 48Â ° 46a - imagine if I turn for example a virus scan or a very hot video coding software-It to become: 50a ° - 55Â °.) (I try always not to overcome this final temperature). What is the maximum?

  * I hope you can give me an explanation to the problem.*
  * I ask if this is a problem common to other A300 owners.*

  For my personal reflection, that noise, it is very distinguible for a cooler quiet fan system (infact my dual core is 43a ° with normal use)
  Infact I would like to find a system to enable more cool fan (I have just seen in the bios and utilities from Toshiba but found nothing to that effect)

  Finally, I would like to know if the * battery time * 1h30mins (with the symmetric mode) is acceptable for a new laptop (with save mode is 1h40mins max).
  * I hope your support and I apologize for my language school *.

  Thanks y'alls.

  Hello

  I think that it s nothing wrong with your HARD drive.
  I have two cell phones and a PS3 at home.
  The HARD drive in a laptop made similar clicking sound. In addition, I noticed the same sound in the PS3. Since the upgrade to 500GB drive HARD makes the similar sound as the HARD drive in my notebook.
  I think that it s nothing wrong with the HARD drive and eventually it s nothing serious.

  > Finally, I would like to know if the battery of 1h30mins (with the symmetric mode) is acceptable for a new laptop (with save mode is 1h40mins max).
  Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
  The battery lasts a shorter time when to implement applications performance on the laptop. Also if the brightness of the display is set to the highest level, the battery needed to dump a lot more quickly.
  So I think 1.30 min is OK for the laptop. Of course, you can buy a stronger battery in order to use the laptop longer with battery power.
