Hello

Start your laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings. On the first page (main), you can see some basic information on CPU, speed of the processor, RAM and also on HARD drive.

When you enter the BIOS settings check that and then set the default settings. You can do this by using F9button (see background task with options bar).

  • What is the difference between the Satellite A300-1EC & Satellite A300-1EG

    Why does the Satellite A300-1EC more expensive stand as Satellite A300-1EG, but configuration loses him?

    What is their substantial distinction in?
    What model of laptop may indicate, in this price range?

    Hello

    Satellite A300-1EC belongs to the Group PSAG0E and Satellite A300-1EC to PSAG4E. When this model numbers are different, it means that they do not have the same hardware configuration.

    The first has Intel graphics controller 965GM (Crestline). The second is M82XT ATI (256 MB). The capacity of the HARD disk is not the same. The first a 160 GB HDD and secondly a 250 GB.

    So that's the difference between these notebooks of the A300.

    In my view, the other is better. You have to make your decision and choose the right one.

  • To change the Satellite A300 - 1 G 5 for another similar model

    I started using the Satellite A300 - 1 G 5 in October 2008. I liked its sleek black design perfect, but his memory crashed. The service center offers to change my laptop for another with the same characteristics. But I put t know which one to choose. I would, of course, Toshiba.

    I will be grateful to everyone

    If you want to have the Satellite A300 once again I recommend to use the model of PSAG8E. I have more than a year now and I'm really happy with it.
    If you have the opportunity to take other, more recent, portable check new Satellite A500. I like it.
    There are 16 display, refined design and wonderful backlit keyboard.

  • Cannot start the HDD recovery to the Satellite A300 - 1-5

    I want to recover my Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 5 Notebook to factory settings State. But when I run the HARD disk recovery Wizard, it says that the program or file is not found.
    And when I checked on my Partition drive is not there.

    Hello

    Seems to me, the image of hard drive recovery is not already available on your hard disk. You did a recovery disk? Otherwise, you must buy from Toshiba, the details for the order are:

  • I can add a 2nd HDD on my Satellite A300 - 02c?

    Hi all

    I wonder if it is possible to add a 2nd HDD in my A300 - 02c?
    There is a HDD 2 slot, but no sata connector on the card (see the link to the image).

    http://www.NotebookReview.com/picture.asp?f=36752

    I wonder if it is possible to add the connector (by myself or by the customer service).
    If anyone knows if it is possible and where can I buy the sata connector... Please leave a comment :)

    Adrien.

    I think that there is nothing you can do about it.
    Satellite A300 comes with several different hardware configurations and several different mothers. Really, I don't think that you can add it in addition.

    FYI exact nearest maintainer contact authorized Toshiba and ask for help.

    If anyone has any experience with this stuff then the Toshiba service technicians.

  • Damage to LAN and USB on the left side of the Satellite A300 PSAGCA

    Hello!

    I have a toshiba satellite A300 and awhile back he had a fall and had damage to the ethernet port and USB ports on the left side of the laptop.
    Ethernet still works when the position but the cord torn and the ethernet is no longer rest in.
    2 USB ports work barely often or not at all but there's no visible damage, but can be on the top of the curcuit Board. I opened.

    I was wondering what would be the best way to fix it.
    I opened it now, as said, but decided to post on here before thinking to look further for damages and resolve.

    I want to know what I can fix it, it seems that the ethernet port is welded (how ever) there and would need to replace the whole motherboard. Is it so?

    See you soon.

    Lee.

    Hi, Peggy

    I think that you can't do anything :(
    Simple components such as LAN or USB ports are part of the motherboard and I doubt you could replace or repair easily
    An electrician who has a few years of experience with these motherboards may be able to fix it, but I doubt that a common user like me or you'll fix it

    In my opinion, the motherboard must be replacaced

  • Is impossible to recover the Satellite A300-1QD (VISTA)

    Hey I have a problem.

    I tried to restore my Toshiba Satellite A300-1QD parameters by pressing the F8 key.
    I followed every step correcrtly, but when it came to 99% the computer was off all of a sudden.

    I don't know why, but maybe the computer got overheated or something, but I've had enough battery life.
    Then I tried to turn it on again and it is said there may have been some damage and he said I should put a "a CD to install Windows" as a first step, step says that I should choose a language, and step 3 says I should click on REPAIR.
    HE DIDN'T THERE HAS NO OTHER OPTIONS.

    Then he said: if I do not have the CD, I must contact the producer.
    As I remember, I do not have any what CD with my Toshiba when I bought a year or two ago.
    All I have is a yellow mini CD that says DISK of DRIVER on it.

    Is anyone of you know if a recovery CD is shipped with Toshiba Satellite A300?
    And no one knows what I have to do because I think I don't have it?

    Thanks in advance.

    > I can remember, I don't have any CD with my Toshiba when I bought a year or two ago.
    > All I have is a yellow mini CD that says DISK of DRIVER on it.

    You didn t get the recovery disk because there was an option to create the recovery disk clean you had to read the user manual
    The preinstalled tool called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator can create a recovery disk
    Now it s too late you are not able to boot the system

    In this case, you must order the recovery disk;
    Here you can do;

  • CorelDRAW X 3 crashes on the Satellite A300-1BZ

    I'm moving to a desktop environment for my new Satellite A300.

    The only problem I encountered is with Graphics Suite Corel X 3. It works fine on the desktop in XP and also on my laptop Toshiba no woman under Vista Home Premium. On the A300, it hangs in unpredictable ways. Sometimes it does not load, other times it loads and gets an error Vista immediately.

    The error message is not specific and the program closes. I have Vista and X 3 fully updated to the latest versions of the service. So I guess the problem is likely to be the installation of Vista on the A300 programme.

    Can anyone suggest where to look to fix this?

    Hello Peter

    In my opinion, you should check the FAQ section of the software manufacturer. Maybe you will find some useful information about the configuration under Vista.
    Have you tried to remove it and do fresh install?
    Check what applications are enabled to auto-start? Try turning off all that you don't need.

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. All we have own OS configuration with different applications that run in the background.
    In my opinion, providing the answer to that is nothing but the mission impossible. ;)

    I want to buy a warranty extended for Satellite A300 - 15 c (1 + 1 standard warranty) if I want to ask which package of guarantee gives the longer protection for this model.
    2 + 2 is the longest? ID: SE5054I-PDB.

    Thank you

  • Poor quality of the sound after XP or Vista upgrade on the Satellite A300 - 15 d

    Hello

    Please I need your help.

    I have my Satellite A300 - 15 d and I had a problem with my sound.
    When I upgraded to Vista ultimate or go back to XP my sound becomes very bad quality and I have tried to update drivers and utilities but no way and finally I come to Vista Home who came into the recovery.

    I hate it and I need a solution.

    Please answer

    Hello

    What exactly do you mean by "bad sound quality?"
    He is too weak or what?

    A300 - 15 d seems to belong to the series of PSAJ4E.
    Conexant for Win XP and vista audio driver is available on the European driver Toshiba page.

    I have the same sound chip in my book and the sound is ok... I also noticed that I have a SmartAudio in Control Panel.
    This seems to be an additional tool to improve the sound quality.

    Maybe you should check this.
