No backlight and brightness on my Satellite A300-1BG

Hello

I have an A300-1BG Mdoel PSAJ0E-014013CE with Windows XP SP3 and BIOS V2.70.

I can see the screen but very low light, backlight does not work, in my opinion. When you use direct Sunrise light flash on the screen, I tried the following:

Light does not work with the Fn + F6 or Fn + F7 keys.
I tried to change the profiles to be able to adjust the brightness to the maximum level 8 in any power profile
I have reset the BIOS defaults

However, all these attempts failed to get the brightness of the backlight/right.

I've seen other problem brightness in these forums, but I'm not sure. I need advice.

First of all, I tried to get my BIOS update, but the news related to the BIOS update for this type of laptop is now on discards to the V4 and I could not find the procedure or release notes how to put my old V2.70 BIOS to new. Any help?

In any case that I don't know what to do to recover the backlight... at least that's a hardware problem, but I want to throw it all away before making this assumption.

Any help is welcome...

Thank you

JM

Have you installed the driver on the right poster?
Which driver is listed in the properties of the Device Manager graphics card?

  • FN keys and brightness on the Satellite A200 - 14 d

    Well, I downloaded the driver controls, controls, energy saving, hotkey utility for my Satellite A200 - 14 d (PSAEC) but am still unable to adjust the brightness of my screen via the fn button.

    That this has something to do with the display drivers? (NVIDIA, I had to force install them, because Toshiba has not released any driver for go7300)

    Thank you

    Hello

    This has nothing to do with the graphic driver but with energy saver.

    The driver XP Power saver and power saver utility XP are available on the Toshiba page.
    You must install the driver first and then after restart the utility.

    In addition, you need the Hotkey Utility for the FN options works.

  • Need driver of bright LEDS for Satellite A300

    Hey,.

    Can you tell me which driver is responsible for the A300 LED illiminated?
    I reinstalled the system, and I noticed that there is a possibility to turn on or turn off the LED through the BIOS, but it's kinda not inviting to use this way every time.
    So my question is what pilot allows me to use the first contact button on the left (sign) to light and down the diods (as in the installed oryginally system)?
    Thanks for the help,

    Kind regards

  • Problem webcam with Skype and MSN messanger on Satellite A300

    Hello.

    Well. The Australia contacted Toshiba. and got some information.
    Well, the person I spoke to said that he would try to find the drivers on the European site of Toshiba, which he did. And he said to uninstall the software from my camera assist.
    So I did, downloaded the new version, to install it. But I always get problems, saying that windows vista family premium, a USB device, does not work and windows does not recognize it.
    And also, had a driver error, saying: open the driver software or reboot your computer.

    Went on the forums of Toshiba and cast an eye, did show on their, but could not seem to find answers, and done in the last week or two.
    I just want, use Skype and MSN messenger.
    But if I can't get these problems must be solved, then no interest to install, probably does not work and haven't tried this feature yet on my machine.

    One had similar problems with their Toshibas? and where do I go from here.
    Really, which extends from my head and don't know what to do?
    The guys said maybe to make a recovery disk, but really don't want to go that route.

    It would mean having to spend hours to reinstall everything, and I don't really have the time to do at the moment.
    Very busy at the moment. If anyone can offer any other suggestions or where do I go from here?

    Had this problem when I got out of the box and purchased from Harvey Norman, Burnie, Tasmania.
    Marvin has soon.

    PS: If someone help, pourraient they send me an email to [email protected], in Australia, if they have the same problem and how they got around that one. !

    What model Toshiba do you have?

    Are you sure that the USB device is the webcam? Have you checked the Device Manager?

    * Download driver Chicony Webcam set to update from http://203.56.127.6/driver_download/Public//p2_all/ChiconyWebcam_v1.7.175.0123.exe

  • Satellite A300 - 1 5: keyboard and touchpad not working

    I have problem with keyboard and touchpad. Laptop satellite A300 - 1 5

    I have Vista home premium and when I turn on the computer, I put password in the user box then my keyboard and the touchpad do not work.

    In the Bios my keyboard work but when Vista starts it doesn't have.

    How to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all, please check the status of the device in Device Manager.
    Please check if the keyboard and touchpad are listed correctly without any yellow exclamation point.

    But you should try to reinstall the drivers again, even if the keyboard and the touchpad have been recognized correctly.
    In this case I recommend to remove the keyboard and the touchpad Device Manager, and then you must restart the computer once more.

    After Vista has restarted the two devices should be recognized again and should work.

    Please check this!

  • Satellite A300 - Graphics Driver update needed

    Hello

    I am writing this hoping someone from Toshiba will be able to help me to find and update for laptop Satellite A300, short model: PSAJ4E.
    I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) and Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) on another partition.

    I noticed I was encountering problems more often because of the graphics card is not not to date.
    I am looking for an update for the ATI Radeon HD 3650 series.
    I checked the AMD for and to update, but it seems that most cell phone manufacturers do not want to distribute updates. They had however an update for the ATI Radeon HD 3xxx series in December 2010, but the following comment wrote:

    Following books are not compatible with this version: *.

    All laptops launched after this version of the driver
    Portable computers compatible switchable graphics card using Intel® chipsets.
    * _Toshiba® portable (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these books) _ *.
    Sony VAIO® Laptops (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these laptops)
    Notebooks from Panasonic® (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these laptops)

    This comment is in the following link: [AMD | http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1012ReleaseNotes.aspx]

    And before someone sent it to me in the updated drivers from Toshiba on the following link: [Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 781 & selSho rtMod = 697 & language = 13 & selOS = 30 & selType = all & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 68813 & DISO = 30 & driverLanguage = 42]

    I checked and the update on the Toshiba site is the previous update... it has the * version 8.634.1 * and AMD is at version * _8.801_* with their AMD Catalyst 10.12 software suite.

    I know laptops are not updates as much as a normal desktop pc, but it would be nice to receive updates that came out for the products that we bought.

    If possible could someone direct me, so that I can get the driver for Windows and Ubuntu?

    Kind regards

    > I checked AMD for and to update but it seems that most cell phone manufacturers do not want to distribute updates...
    Do you know why?

    For example, I have the Satellite A300 PSAG8E and use it with Windows XP Home edition and Win7 32-bit dual boot and everything works perfectly.

  • Satellite A300 - too bright screen and lack of contrast

    Is it irritates me immensely

    No matter what I do, there seems to be no way to add contrast and reduce the brightness of the screen on my laptop.
    For example, blacks show that blacks... just slight shades of gray

    I am a photographer, I like my photos and display to be precise for the colors I see in real life, so I can change them accordingly. but rather... the screen seems just washed out, more exposed, and it hurts me ' eyes!

    I tried to adjust the contrast and brightness manually by going to graphic properties, but even with the settings below, the remains of the screen bright and washed out.

    is there something I can do?
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That's the problem with the LCD screen. Due to the lighting, it is difficult to block all of the light using liquid crystals.

    OLED plasma and CRT screens do not have this problem. So if you want the best possible image contrast, you may buy one of these types of monitor and use it via the VGA port.

    Hello

    Have you installed the right graphics card driver?
    The Sat A300-1GN belongs to the PSAGCE series.
    I checked the page of the Toshiba driver and there are two pilots;
    I think that you should choose the ATI driver 8.477 display because this driver supports the Mobility Radeon HD 34xx/36xx chips.

    Other base system devices could be Bridge Media slot (for SD cards), touchpad, HDMI Control Manager.

    I didn't find these drivers 64-bit on Toshiba page. Maybe you should choose some drivers for Vista 32 bit

  • Satellite A300 - screen is at the lowest brightness

    Hello
    Can someone help me with my Satellite A300?
    Where my Fn keys F6 & F7 (brightness) does not work. My screen is currently at the lowest brightness.

    Thank you

    Hi epdanao,

    Have you installed another operating system or changed something on the installation of the software? You have any idea why FN + F6/F7 don t work anymore?

    All FN keys on your computer are controlled by value added and Flash Cards Support utility package. So in your case I would recommend reinstall both applications. They can be downloaded on the official page of Toshiba for free:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    I hope that helps! :)

  • Satellite A300 - screen goes really bright

    After that I connect everything works well on my Satellite A300, but after a minute or so, the screen gets really bright, can someone there help me with this problem? Thank you.
    Games like cod4 work fine without any extra brightness.

    As far as I know Vista there are 7 levels of display brightness. To be honest, I can't imagine that is the lower, for you, too bright, but all we have own opinion on it. Just for example, for my daily work, I use level 6. I don't like the maximum level.

    So there is not much you can do. Power settings choose your preferred plan (I use BALANCED) and set the brightness of the display. This plan will be loaded whenever you start your laptop and you can work on your laptop by using the lowest level of brightness.

    That's all that I can say about it.
