Microphone issue on my Satellite Pro P300-23F

• Re: Microphone completely after installing XP on Satellite Pro P300

  My father bought a Satellite Pro P300 that I went down to Windows XP by using the included CD/DVD.
  Later, we found that the internal microphone is very quiet when we tried to use it.
  We need to yell into the microphone to get any sound at all, more like sounds random blip. Type the microphone sounds more scratch.

  All other sound effects are great. speakers work fine. We connected an external microphone to the mine in the laptop and video calls worked without problem, the problem is only with the internal mic.
  I saw that someone else has the same problem in the forum (link: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=33844&tstart=0]), but it does not say how or if this problem has been resolved.

  I would really appreciate if someone could give me the fix or a link to the fix to our problem other than plug in an external microphone.

  Hello

  Windows XP supports a microphone amplifier. Have you enabled it?

  Go to control panel-> Audio & Sound Devices-> advance tab press Volume button

  Optionally, select advanced controls

  Then you should see the volume of the microphone. Please set it to a higher value.
  In addition, press the advanced under the microphone button.

  Here, you can mark the micro amp.

• Satellite Pro P300 - impossible to activate the built-in microphone

  I bought a Satellite Pro P300 some 2 months and so far so good.

  It has a webcam which I really thought that I would have any use for it but now find that I have.

  The camera works fine but I cannot activate the built-in microphone.

  Can someone point me in the right direction please

  Hello

  You will need to start the webcam software if you want to use the internal microphone too.
  The point is that the internal MIC is connected with the internal webcam and webcam software handles both devices.
  Also check if the internal mic has been correctly enabled in the webcamsoftware

  In addition, I would recommend updating the audio driver.

  Best regards

• Satellite Pro P300-1AY - screen and keyboard issues

  Satellite Pro P300-1AY

  First and most importantly, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
  If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy solution?

  Otherwise, no idea how much it would cost for a replacement?

  Secondly, I switch to a different keyboard layout.
  Anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?

  Thanks x

  > First of all and above all, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
  > If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy fix

  Hmm. Maybe it's s inverter a FL. The FL inverter is a small part that controls the screen backlight
  Generally disassembly laptop procedure is very delicate and looks like you've never disassembled the laptop so I would not recommend to do anything which could damage the other parts get in touch with a local ASP and ask for help.
  Usually the FL inverter should not be expensive pieces but I have no idea on costs

  > Does anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?
  and once again all spare parts can be ordered from local ASP.

• Satellite Pro P300 - 23L - horizontal lines on the taskbar

  I have a portable Satellite Pro P300 - 23L.
  Last night it suddenly appeared, about 30 horizontal thin white lines on the taskbar (actually on the bottom half inch of the screen).
  The top 3 or 4 of these lines seem to pulse in a fast and regular way.

  Now, I can barely see the icons in the taskbar, or the button to start in the lower left corner.

  I read on another forum that the problem may be due to a problem of "grounding".
  The charger plug is actually broken and repaired the wiring myself, but that some time previously, so it is possible that a connection is loose or is now was something shorting causing this effect.

  I had to order a new charger but in the meantime would appreciate any assistance in order to confirm or deny that this could be the problem.

  Any advice on how to remedy this?

  Hello

  If the problem would be with the power adapter this lines should NOT be visible using the laptop with the battery. Right?
  Therefore, it would be really interesting to know if the same lines are visible if the AC adapter is not plugged in.

  But I think that this is unrelated to the power adapter. In my opinion its a display issue or a graphics card problem.
  Therefore, you must connect an external monitor to check it out.
  If the same lines are visible on the external monitor, the graphics chip is assigned the case, it could be a display problem.

• Satellite Pro P300 just died on me

  Hello

  Yesterday my Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC1E) died just the'm... no battery charging lights nothing. Nothing happens when I press the power button it is DEAD.
  The battery was ok last time used, the adapter is still give me almost 20volts.

  I took the laptop goes to check the DC in connector, it's ok.
  I guess that, after some research, it is a fault of the motherboard. In general my warranty missed 2 months ago!
  A new motherboard replacement so far here quoted costs £180, not too eager to pass that as I have a tax account at the end of this month!

  Any ideas of what could be the problem?
  I found a mobo on eBay which is a course of p300-1 to 8 for a song, but which would be compatible?
  What are all the variations in motherboards?
  Any other motherboard would be compatible?

  All ideas, suggestions would be much appreciated, and I thank everyone in advance for ideas.
  See you soon
  Steve

  I think motherboard is dead too. My brother had a similar issue when he wanted to connect the external HARD drive.
  Simply, there is an electro shock and from that moment the cell phone was dead. No reaction at all. Drive external HARD even was dead and it smells like burned plastic.

  Anyway, if you want to have the same hardware, you can buy identical mainborad of a PSPC1E model.

• Satellite Pro P300 - output HDMI port does not

  Hi all

  Well it starts to drive me to distraction and Im hoping that theres someone who can put me out of my missery lol.

  I tried to connect my laptop (toshiba satellite pro p300) up to my LCD TV via the same HDMI cable that I use for my PS3 but the connector does not simply. I keep finding all these messages in various forums saying how they can't get the HDMI connection... that would be great, at least, this means that they were connected.

  Are there different links for the HDMI? The one I have is diagonal connector but the port on the laptop is more square and just doesn't fit. So, if it is not a connector, does that mean I have a funky port on the laptop.

  There is also the issue of connecting my laptop to my amp which controls the surround sound system. Which link is best to use, as there is no real connections audio output?

  See you soon

  Hello

  Can you please tell us what Satellite Pro P300 you have exactly? I mean the exact model number.
  Maybe you can also post a picture of the HDMI port. Normally there is no different HDMI port, all have the same physical size.
  I m PS3 not owner, but maybe he has a special connector. Have you tried another cable?

  Regarding the audio connection I use the normal line of output port to my external speakers. Have you tested this?

• Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC5E) - driver Webcam open fail on Windows 7

  I installed the RC of Windows 7 64 bit on my Satellite Pro P300 PSPC5E and I have problems with the configuration of my webcam and microphone.

  I tried to install the Wizard software for the camera, 64-bit (windows vista) to configure the webcam but I get an error message with "Webcam driver open fail. Restart camera or computer.' nor a camera photo or computer restart the job. I get the image in Skype, but I can't change the settings or so (dark) and the microphone is much quieter, so it was on windows XP, it is set to its maximum.

  Is there a solution for this problem? I hope so :)

  Hello

  I think there is no solution for this problem at the moment, because you are using a Release Candidate of Windows 7 and at the moment there is no official driver for Windows 7.

  Have you tried the driver of Windows Vista so that s what you can do. Alternative visit you the Toshiba us page (http://www.csd.toshiba.com) and search for driver of Windows 7 beta. Maybe it works.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite Pro P300-1AY does not see wireless networks

  I have a Satellite Pro P300-1AY and the unit does not see wireless networks.
  I replaced my card and it does not solve the issue.

  I use win XP. Any idea?

  Hello

  You have the latest version of the BIOS?
  If this isn't the case, then you should first update the BIOS!

  The latest version of the BIOS is on the European driver Toshiba page and it can be modified running Windows OS.
  As far as I know, you must use 2.5 or later version BIOS.

• Satellite Pro P300 - 13 M - how to replace the network card?

  Hello I have the Satellite Pro P300 - 13M.

  My sister fell on my UTP cable and so he was taken out by force and because of that "holding-pings" on the front of the port are bent or broken, so whenever I put in a cable with traction slightess or accidental poke I'm new offline...

  I'm out of my warranty period, is it possible to fix this? Can I replace it myself?
  USB network adapters are a viable solution to replace if I can't replace it?

  Help > _

  To resolve this issue, you must replace the motherboard. The network card or a network location is soldered on the motherboard and cannot be traded.

  In addition, it would be not covered by warranty. This isn't a matter of Toshiba, this is caused by the customer.

  However, if you want to repair you must contact an ASP or search you on eBay for a card mother of second hand.

• Satellite Pro P300 - no recorded on Skype voice

  Hello forum,.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P300. Configured as a system dual boot, Windows 7 (32 bit) / and Ubuntu 11.04 (also 32-bit).

  I like to use Skype only occasionally. The laptop has an internal microphone, and when using Skype on Ubuntu it works fine. The use of Skype in Windows, however, does not work. When I do the 'test call' Skype and try to save my voice, all I hear is silence.

  I guess that there is a missing driver, or something like that.

  In Windows 7, Skype said "your microphone seems to work very well" and gives me two devices microphone to choose among, both called "Microphone (high definition Audio Device). There is no error message to be seen, but nothing happens.

  I'm sure this is a simple solution, but I do not know how to proceed. Can someone please advise?

  Thank you very much

  Alan.

  Hello

  The microphone is a part of webcam and if it doesn't work, you need to reinstall the driver for the webcam. Make sure that you have installed the latest version of the Toshiba page.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Also make sure that the microphone is set as default input device. Right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select recording devices. Select the microphone as the default device, and check if the amp microphone is activated.

• Satellite Pro P300 - very slow WiFi connection

  Toshibe Satellite Pro P300 with built in the Atheros AR9281 wireless.

  Running Windows 7.

  ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

  BIOS 2.5

  All the latest versions of the drivers installed including the driver Atheros 8.0.0.225.0 wireless.

  Wireless is annoying...

  Sometimes fails to find the router (Belkin 54g, connected to the Modem cable Motorola (Virgin B/B is the access provider, 10 Mbps)).

  When he finds, connects ok, but sometimes it is impossible to browse web pages - just behave as if there is no connection.

  Bit torrent works also very slowly (in general 0.5Mbit / s depending on the number of peers etc.). Not a port forwarding issue with the router - using utorrent that indicates that the relevant port is open.

  When I connect to the router with an ethernet cable, everything works a treat - much faster and rock solid connection. uTorrent has no hit 10Mbit/s problem at all.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much...

  Alan.

  Hello

  You should first check if your BIOS is up to date.
  If an older version of BIOS is installed then you could update the BIOS.

  It is also advisable to update the installed WLan driver.
  Here, you can check the available WLan drivers:

• Satellite Pro P300 - BIOS upgrade to 64 - bit

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro P300 - 266 PSPCDE and I am very happy with him.

  Since I have a WIN7 64 bit OS, ready to use and 8 GB of RAM I need to update the BIOS to 64-bit.

  I found a WinPhlash file on the support site of Toshiba (toshiba - tro.de) bios called - 20090226124829.zip. I tried to use it as described in the Toshiba support on the use of WinPhlash (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm) page. Also, I made an exception for WinPhlash in the registry of the DEP.

  It still does not work.

  Since I am a user knowing very mediocre modern computers I guess I'm doing something wrong or I can be monitor something... can anyone please help me upgrade my system to its full capabilities?

  Thank you

  Aernout

  You don't need to upgrade BIOS. If everything works well don t change anything.
  I have Satellite P300 with preinstalled Win7 32 bit and works perfectly.

  How do your shopping with the 64-bit version?
