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?

    HI -.

    Came with Vista installed. I would like to use XP instead.

    The aircraft crashed the first time I tried to install XP.
    I looked online and found that I needed to change the BIOS settings to work around this (SATA, "AHCI" to "compatibility").

    This and that the installation worked fine, but there are a lot of missing drivers, for example for the sounds, graphics, ethernet, wi - fi, etc..
    This leaves me in a difficult position since I am currently unable to connect to the internet to look for the missing drivers missing drivers.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

  • Re: Satellite Pro P300-1FP - no ball calls when low battery

    My mother just bought a P300-1FP.

    It's great, but the laptop is not pop up a balloon invites when battery becomes low. We are aware of the possibility of passing the mouse on the battery in the notification area icon, even though this is not always an accurate indication of remaining power and also it is a problem to remember to periodically.

    I have an Equium L10, which usefully prompt a ball about 5 minutes before runs. Is there a setting for the P300-1FP to do the same?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    Just a question: what operating system do you use?

    On Windows XP with Toshiba Power Saver for example I can configure the method of notification, e. g. sound + notice, notice only.
    It should also be possible on Vista: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm

    But don t forget that some programs like XP-Antispy tuning or something else may disable those balloon notifications.

  • 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

  • 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.

    Hello

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

    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.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - install the graphics driver

    Hi all

    This is my last resort before I throw this laptop through the window - and it is a gift for someone for Christmas.

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro P300 - model PSPC1E-005008EN, 2 GB RAM, 17 "display and Intel GMA X 3100 video card.

    As a very experienced engineer, same one that makes me tear my hair out.

    When the bike video car is installed with the ATI drivers what we call, or drivers intel I get an error 12 code saying there are not enough resources to launch pilots.

    When I discovered the Device Manager with the hidden devices turned on that I have 2 video cards, 1 that works properly and 1 in the error state.

    I uninstalled the drivers, all the video cards software related and reinstalled all, or just the drivers and still no joy. I have a laptop that shows no model model of monitor or video card in display properties and the resolution doesn't go above 1024 x 768, and the image is so bright.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello!

    Your P300 has an Intel GM965 graphic card so I put t know why you want to install ATI drivers?

    I think the best way is to reinstall Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Or you try the graphics driver from Toshiba:

    Normally when you purchase a Toshiba laptop do not install some drivers or utilities from Toshiba, it s all preinstalled.

  • 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 - 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 - 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.
