• Occasional Satellite Pro P300-1FP - gel during video playback

  Hello forum,.

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1FP, age about 4 years old.

  Running Windows 7 (32-bit version).

  An occasional but annoying problem: when playing video, from time to time the whole system freezes. Sound continues to come from the speakers, but it is usually either an idle down & distorted version of what I should be heard, or a noise buzzing/scream loud, repetitive.

  System retrieves ever - only freezes completely, unresponsive, frozen display, the mouse pointer moves, etc.. Have to restart every time.

  Anyone know what could be the cause of this & how can I fix this?

  Thank you
  Alan.

  As far as I know SP P300 works well with Win7 32 bit. My brother has the same machine and use it with Win7 too. We checked often performance with different games or playing different videos, mostly from avi or mpeg files. Also very good race and YouTube videos smoothly, so I really don t understand why you have this problem of gel.

  Have you installed the Toshiba download page display driver?
  HARD drive is extremely busy before that happens?

  The same thing happens when you play games?

  Hello

  The European driver Toshiba page provides two audio Conexant drivers for this model of laptop.
  + Driver sound + 4.36.10.0
  + Driver sound + 4.83.1.0

  I recommend the new version 4.83.1.0
  Uninstall the old driver first in the Device Manager.

  Restart the device and install the new downloaded drivers.

  Hope this helps to get better sound quality :)

• Updating the BIOS is dead the satellite Pro P300-1AY

  Hi all

  found this forum and really hoping that he can help me!
  I bought a satellite Pro P300-1AY two years ago, it cost me £900 nr so I thought it would be worthy of a purchase.

  A year ago the USBs stopped working, I do it every working solution I could think of anything will do, finally gave up and learned to live without USBs!

  However, a few weeks ago, the laptop at the start stop, I didn't get was the black screen. Probably a video problem I did all the memory check hard drive everything else, however, it was only an intermittent problem, I found if I he tilted on the side she would begin, another thing to live with!

  But two days ago, I heard that if I've updated the BIOS, it could solve all my problems. so I went to the Toshiba site, found the BIOS updated and downloaded, but to halfway through the installation, the laptop froze and I couldn't t he put it off and had to take the battery out to turn it off!

  And ve you may have guessed, he's now won t start. Even its worst, LED lights, and if I put a disc in the cd I can hear it whirring, but that s it.

  Is - this irreparable? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?
  Ty for your time in reading :)

  Hello

  > Is it irretrievably? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?

  Well, usually the BIOS could once again be reflashed, but you would need a traditional version of the BIOS update.
  This version is available for Toshiba FSA.

  So you will need to get in touch with a local ASP technician that could reflash the Rom BIOS module.
  Eventually, after this update the specifications would be stable.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro P300 LED to the bizarre behavior

  I have a portable Satellite Pro P300-1AY, bought just for more than a year. A few hours before after saving my galleries of photos on my external hard drive, a function LED (located below the touchpad) began to blink once every 2 seconds and has done since then. I can't say I've noticed this before but maybe I'm a bit on the side hypersensitive and prudent? I've never had a system failure (yet) or any error message telling me that something is wrong in particular.

  Unfortunately I don't know quite what this led to specific standards for, no power supply mains or battery either. The hard disk activity? More likely.

  As indicated, perhaps I am worrying for no reason, but it's not something I picked up before and it doesn't seem to be anything on a Google search that describes something like that.

  I appreciate any comments on this one.

  Best regards

  Gavin

  Be cool and watch what happens the next few days.
  Let us know if the same thing will happen tomorrow.

• Satellite Pro P300-1EC - cannot get wireless to work

  Hello!

  First of all. Excuse me for my English!

  TEC Spec.

  Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1EC
  Intel WiFi Link 5100
  Windows XP Pro SP3

  I have a big problem. I can't get the wireless LAN working properly.
  And the customer has purchased this computer because his old computer stopped working with WLAN...

  I tried everything I can. And I am a person of educated tech, so I think I should have the knowledge of this, but I do not have.

  Short version.

  1. install the latest drivers. (Also tried more aged)
  2 restart the computer.
  3 WNIC takes about 10 min to find WLAN.
  4. While working perfect with 130Mbps on project N.
  5.i can user logout and change and all.
  6. when I restart I'm back at number 3.

  Long version:

  I installed XP pro since the XP downgrade Cd included and wireless drivers wasn't on that CD so I downloaded them. (And Yes. "This is the correct drivers.)
  After that I installed the driver and restart my computer, I could not find wireless networks. Kind of weird because I have 4 routers/points of WLAN on my company with the range 60-100% and about 3 other public routers without security. I tried to update the drivers to windows update, and WU has found an update for me. I installed driver and the wireless highlight function. I scream YES and restart the computer. Then it stopped working. N° !!!
  I was a little tired on the problem and began installing some other computers that I bought and when I looked the Toshiba computer that I saw that it was connected to my WLAN. Weird, but I thought it worked then I restart the computer again and then his does not work... again! Now, I have analyzedthe problem and it's like that.

  When I start the computer the my WNIC does not any WLAN.
  About 10 min (10m32s) after starting the wireless started working.
  I am able to disconnect and change the user and it still works, but as soon as I restart the computer it stops and I have to wait another 10 minutes. And so on.

  Anyone been trough something like this even if it is not not toshiba or my model?

  Hello

  What is the Satellite Pro P300 - 1EC BIOS is up-to-date?
  Please check everything first.

  You said you are using Draft N did you tried to establish the WiFi connection using other standard WLan as 802.11 A or G?

  I also recommend changing the WiFi channel and try other channels.

  In addition, you can change a WLan option that affects the WLan functionality. You can find these settings in the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro P300-1AY: Vista does not display computers XP network group

  On my show w Satellite Pro P300-1AY with Vista, my old XP computer is not always displayed in the list of working groups.
  On my old XP computer, I still see the new Vista computer

  Can you tell me why the Vista computer not always displays the XP computer in the network group?

  On the commputer of Vista, I traced a directory on the XP computer and it will connect even though the task force list does not show the XP computer under the list of networks

  Hello!

  Have you disabled the firewall on the XP computer?
  Maybe a 3rd party security software is blocking it.

  Check the registry and go to:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE es\lanmanserver\parameters
  In this case don't Scream no entry with the name of Hide.
  If you have such an entry, delete it.

• Satellite Pro P300: external resolution 1024 x 768 instead of 1680 x 1050

  Hello

  I run my Sat P300 on XP and this laptop screen is fine (1440 x 900 pixels on radeon HD 3650).

  Now, I want to connect the laptop to an external monitor flat screen, a Samsung, which requires an optimum resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels.
  The samsung monitor works fine on my laptop more old: I close the lid of the laptop and the screen changes to the Samsung with good resolution of 1680 x 1050.

  Now, when I connect the P300 and close the lid, the screen switches to the Samsung, but the actual screen resolution is 1024 x 768, despite the fact that the 1680 x 1050 is set in the display properties windows.
  In fact, the screen is probably 1680 x 1050, but sees only the monitor 1024 x 768 (i.e. the desktop is bigger than the monitor can show, and I can push the office left/right or up/down with the mouse.

  So it appears (Hey, it's just a guess) that the radeon sends a screen 1680 x 1050 with the wrong frequency (48.2 KHz instead of 64.4 KHz as my monitor watch)!

  The Samsung drivers are installed, and I've updated the BIOS to 3.40 win, but not a solution.

  Someone at - it an idea?

  Hello!

  Have you checked the manual of the Satellite Pro P300?
  I think you should do this because there you can read why the screen resolution of 1680 x 1050 doesn t work.

  The Satellite Pro P300 supports the following screen resolutions:
  800 x 600
  1024 x 768
  1280 x 800
  1280 x 1024
  1600 x 1200
  1920 x 1440
  2048 x 1536

  Do you not see where is the problem? ;)

• Satellite Pro P300-19 q - keyboard problem

  Hello

  I bought a * Satellite Pro P300-19 q * laptop and got the shipment yesterday. I am happy with the features and performance of the laptop. It has a keypad as well. The problem is the key board sinks and rises all the keys the keys (lower-right). I feel like its not secure properly. The key to this place Board feels fragile and irritating during use. Even some of my laptops at low prices to friends do not experience this problem. I can't live with it like that because it's a new laptop.
  Is there a solution to this problem?

  Thank you
  Ravi

  Hello

  Satellite Pro P300 I almost three months now and I can confirm that keyboard on this area is not stable on the other side, but it moves when I press with very great strength. Typing normal I do not use so much force and I have very sensitive keys. Just give a contact, and the symbols are on the screen. I use laptops for a year now and type on the computer keyboard is different as standard desktop with large and robust keys keyboard.

  To be honest, I don't see any problem here. Maybe you use to force much press. If you check the mechanism under the keyboard protects it's so small and sensitive, and you can press the keys very gently.

  So for me there is no problem at all. If you think that the keyboard should be more service contact stabile and explain the situation.

• Cannot install recovery image on satellite Pro P300-1EX

  Hello.

  I have never had many problems with a single laptop in my lifetime of work. I'm almost ready to throw this thing out the window. I have a satellite pro p300-1EX.

  I wanted to do an install new os just to make things a bit faster for the customer, it was 8 hours ago.

  First, I installed a Home Windows OEM pre 32B version. Then I saw that the CD would not work.

  So, Okay - I'll bring back factory default:

  (1) there is no link repair starting and pressing F8
  (2) there is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
  (3) there is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
  (4) I try to download recovery disk creator bloody software and get this - it does not work. It creates a shortcut to a file that's not here yet. TRDCLcher.exe, can you, im speechless.

  So now, I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me? I don't think so.

  So, what can I please? It was a horrible experience. Nothing works. The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it. Instealing the OEM deleted all tools by default, but I can't NOT THE DOWNLOAD.

  Please, please help me.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Maybe it sounds stupid now, but this is simply.

  Here's my explanation of how it works:
  Almost 4 or 5 years Toshiba offers laptops without recovery DVD but with recovery image stored on the HARD drive. As much I know about former Satellite/Satellite Pro P300 recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder named HDDRecvery. This model laptop was shipped with Windows Vista.

  As you know original recovery image can be installed n in two ways:
  -You can use the recovery HARD drive installation method - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
  -You can use the created recovery DVD disk

  HARD drive recovery facility can be made if the laptop has only factory settings. In this case in advanced startup options (F8), you will have the option to fix my computer. If the notebk has been installed with the version of the OS or any other operating system of this option won't be available more. Because of this Toshiba has preinstalled reminder with the message for owners of laptops create recovery DVDs.

  Your questions:
  > There is no link repair starting and pressing F8
  If this laptop doesn t have to factory settings it will not appear in the advanced startup options
  > There is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
  If you have European book this model with zero will not work. It only works with the United States and Austraian mobile.
  > There is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
  I put t understand it. What happens when you start with the OEM version?
  > I am trying to download bloody recovery disc creator software
  If you have the European model of laptop, it can not be downloaded. This piece of software is included in the recovery image only.

  > So now I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me
  I understand, but at least with the original recovery DVD you can install OS and all necessary things in an hour only.
  > The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it.
  Yes. Without factory settings you will not have access to these data.

  Follow these steps:
  -start your laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings
  -set the BIOS to default settings and reboot the laptop
  -When the laptop reboots press F12 to get into the boot meny
  -When the boot menu appears on the screen put the original DVD of recovery in ODD
  -Choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER
  This will force it's STRANGE to be the first boot device and you should see process on the loading screen. Click next or OK nothing change and wait for the recovery procedure starts.

  Please try it and let me know exactly what is happening.

• 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?

• Satellite Pro P300 always try to boot first from CD/DVD

  I am now on W10 x 64 pro, but the problem was the same with win 7 pro.

  Yes, I updated the drivers HD Audio of this site Web and Realtek and still nothing.
  The only other thing that could affect this, but I don't see how I use ASIO4ALL drivers audio in conjunction with the Realtek drivers.

  Hi mate

  I confused m do you know why?
  Because you talk about audio driver Realtek and sound chip and my knowledge, that the Satellite Pro P300 was equipped with the audio chip Conexant!

  It s NOT the Realtek chip! It s Conexant!

  According my Conexant audio chip experience can't stand stereo mixer in the recording devices!
