• When the capacity of the battery falls Satellite Pro U300 occasionally lose power

  Hello

  I suspect you have a defective battery (standard installed on the laptop) on my new Satellite Pro U300 - 11 k and I wonder if someone had a similar problem.
  When the power drops to 10%, my laptop occasionally loses power. In the range of less than 7% capacity always loses power, i.e. either fails to start the hibernation, or is unable to complete the process (I can always tell if power was lost during hibernation because of the characteristic of the system of protection HD sound). I did several tests, especially in the power saving mode. "High performance" mode power seems to be a little more reliable, but still fails to shut down less than 5% of the capacity. The level of Hibernate by default on the Toshiba Windows Vista pack is as low as 2%, so I can wait until it is able to work at this level.

  Overall the battery capacity is about 1 h (Media Player, fashion high performance, maximum intensity) at all about 2 to 2.5 hours (slowed or text editor, mode, brightness low power saving). Charging time is about 1 hour (seems too short). They are difficult to objectively assess that Toshiba avoids quoting the specifications of the battery, but I consider the question of the reliability of the above as being a serious (do not want to take the risk of damaging the HD). I am considering visiting the service center, but leaving both the computer and the battery with them would be a nuisance for me and I would rather avoid it if I can. I wonder if I can claim the warranty on the battery alone?

  Any suggestions would be welcome.

  Background information:
  -The U300 is a few weeks old.
  -The battery has been fully charged and discharged (approximately 15 times since purchase).
  -Cooldown takes 1 h - 1.5hrs
  -J' using Vista Business
  -J' went through the power settings to make sure they are ok and to change threshold levels
  -I am an experienced business user, I use a laptop computer at work which stops always perfectly to the power level of 3%

  Thanks for help

  Reading your post, I do see no battery issues! Everything you say is right and not a malfunction.
  Please note that the Vista operating system needs much more computing resources and the battery is much more emphasized running Vista!

  Please also note that the level and time to discharge the battery can be different! Everything depands of the use of the laptop!
  All the portable devices and parts waste the power of the battery at the same time and that's why there are differences in the discharge procedure.

  Don t be afraid and take advantage of your laptop but if you think you will need to contact the ASP in order to clarify this issue, then feel free to contact service technician.
  They should be able to help you.

• Question about installing WXP LAN Driver on Satellite Pro A120

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 (PSACIE) with Vista installed. I created a dual boot with XP Prof I seem to have all the drivers except the WLAN and LAN drivers. I have downloaded the LAN driver there is no setup.exe file. No problem, (I think, maybe someone out there knows differently?).

  I used Device Manager to load the file inf and intel pro/1000 PL network connection selected with the Hardware Installation Wizard. At the end the wizard said there was an error code 10 and that the device probably would not work properly.

  Can anyone help? It does not of course! By pure chance that I bought a port replicator, its LAN works with XP but do not work with Vista! (There is a hint here)

  Is it possible I can get details on the LAN device such as model, serial number? Any help appreciated gratefully.

  Hello

  Are you sure you used a right and support for driver LAN?
  Error code 10 is known to me and mostly it appears if the device cannot be started because the driver is not compatible

  Ok. To my knowledge, there are two different Satellite Pro A120:
  the unit of PSAC0E supports Lan Chip Realtek 8100 CL

  and the PSAC1E supports the chip Intel 82573 L (Vidalia)

  So, what phone do you use?

• Question about change in ODDs region settings - Satellite Pro A120

  Why are there at - it limit the number of times, you can change the region settings when you watch DVDs from other countries? Why?

  They don't realize the world becomes smaller and is it possible to buy DVDs from anywhere in the world? They refuse to help the global economy? I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 with a carpet * a UJ841S optical drive that is locked on region 1, how can I get it unlocked and how do I get it so I can watch DVD so many different regions without having to be limited to the region of switching 5 times? Of course, I'm not the only person who feels this way, come on Tosh do something to help the consumer.

  Can anyone help?

  Published by: ADMIN

  Hi Paul

  What to say I put t understand this too, but there are some restrictions of manufacturers of different record companies and movie studios that don t allow you to change the region code.

  The world is divided into 7 regions of DVD.
  Region 1 - Canada and the U.S.
  Region 2 - Europe, Japan, Middle East and South Africa
  Region 3 - South and Southeast Asia
  Region 4 - Australia and South America
  Region 5 - Africa, the Russia and the rest of Asia
  Region 6 - China

  Readers of generation original DVD came with a firmware level that became known as RPC 1.
  RPC 1 discs themselves are able to play any region but depends on the installed Reader software to control which region is played.

  But most DVD players (* not matter what is manufacturing *) are equipped with the RPC-2.
  RPC 2 drives usually come with a limit of 5 change on the regions, once the counter reaches 0, your drive is locked permanently in the last region it was settled in.
  Even if you reformat or move the drive to another system, it will be always locked to the last region.

  Such a region code limitation is very annoying for everyone, but nothing to do
  Of course you will find many websites that provide any software programs and free non-legal area, but for the most part, these programs can damage firmware own disks and this would lead to bigger problems. In most cases readers cannot handle all mediums and can not read or burn to CD/DVD.

• The product for Satellite Pro U300 XP Pro SP3 recovery disk

  Never had to use recovery with this laptop and worried to be wrong! Nero Backitup allows you to save all the files and settings, but feel that I need to format the c drive to get rid of the gremlins. My drive recovery reinstalls the operating system after formatting, and, if not, what should I do to restore the laptop to factory State?
  I would describe my knowledge technical as an intermediary, but enthusiastic!

  A two-year project in game, so I can't afford to waste it.

  Thanks a lot for reading.

  Hello

  Using the recovery facilities on your laptop disk image recovery image will be installed. After that your laptop will again have to factory settings.
  Recovery image contains the operating system. All the necessary drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities. Back up all your important data and use the recovery disk to clean operating system installation.

  East-indicator of volume on a satellite pro U300 exist? And if so which tool/applet/driver installs?

  Hmm, your post is a little confusing.
  As far as I know the Satellite Pro U300 unit was equipped with the sound volume controller, and this can be found on the left side near the headphone and microphone Sockets.

  You need only an audio driver for the sound card woking... that's all

• Satellite Pro U300 PSU31E - two how to adjust the fan speed

  While using the laptop the fan comes in for a few seconds and then stops again, which causes the temperature
  increase... what makes the fan?
  Throttle upward rather than stay in a slow to medium status.

  I'm running Vista Business, but I did ' t find the parameters in this regard.

  In the ACPI BIOS is not accessible, but as already posted my problem looks a bit like this:

  Re: ACPI fan on Satellite L30
  Posted the: 13-Sep-2007 22:08 reply

  The fan goes in cycles like this:
  ------------------
  Less than 50, fan
  When > 55, fan to full
  When< 55,="" fan="" on="">
  When< 50,="" fan="" off="">
  and it continues

  ------------------

  It would be much better than when he went to more than 50 years she just spend on bass, then
  It would never reach 55 and never go up.
  And the laptop would be 100 x more silent.

  Another thing: the Germany from Toshiba support page won't load at all or is the global page
  very slow, using different locations and conections. That I can not retrieve all the information to help me.
  And I do not think the University backbone or my DSL 6 Mbps at home is the problem

  Hello

  The fans begin to turn only if a certain temperature point has been reached.
  These fan table information is stored in the BIOS and cannot be changed.

  Some computers laptops satellite supports an additional option in the Toshiba HWSetup. It allows to change the CPU dynamically switchable or always low frequency mode.
  This would set the temperature to a lower level and the fans would lead occasionally.

  In any case, to my knowledge, this option is not available in the Toshiba HWSetup and not in the BIOS so I guess that it s not possible to control fan behavior.

  By the way; If you wish, you can test a tool like aSpeedFanfreeware.
  This program can control the speed of the fans according to the temperatures of the system.
  Maybe it will work on your Satellite Pro U300

• Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) - freezes on the Welcome screen

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U300 model no notebook 01900REN PSU31E purchased as new and connected to Windows XP.

  It worked perfectly fine for about a year until very recently when it started freezing on blue welcome screen. I had to disconnect the battery because it has not proceeded past the blue welcome screen. I ran the antivirus avast but it nothing of the detected note. Now even when I disconnect and reconnect the battery the screen does not go beyond the Welcome screen blue even if the mouse is moved again, and occasionally the pointer arrow-pointer to sand-clock pointer initially and then rest as arrow-pointer changes. Pressing buttons, Ctrl + Alt + Delete, using the mouse or the battery are not any good.

  I backed up things but not until recently. Please help me, I'm an amateur like these sorts of things, I'm English teacher from teaching professional so I really need materials and capabilities of the laptop. What should I do, please help!

  Thanking you in advance,

  Hey the view,.

  Have you tried the same thing in safe mode? Go to the advanced boot menu by pressing F8, select Safe mode.
  Check it!

  It of really difficult to say why this is happening but if it doesn t work I think that it s time to reinstall Windows. So take the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot from it. If you follow the instructions on the screen you get factory in minutes! :)

• Satellite Pro U300 - the broken LCD screen

  Hi all

  My first post please bare with me.

  I have a Satellite Pro U300, who has a broken LCD screen.
  I have a replacement screen, but not sure how to go abouts it change places.

  Someone at - it a service manual for this model or the tricks and tips on how to disassemble the unit to swap the LCD broke with a new one?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  The service manual can be downloaded. It s not for the public and it s only for Toshiba and approved providers available I think.
  On the Toshiba site, you can download the user manual, but I doubt it would be useful for you.

  I think the best way would be if you go to an authorized service provider. The exchange of the LCD is a little tricky and you should have experience with this.
  On the Toshiba site, you can search for an ASP. I m sure that the technicians will help you. ;)

• Can not install the latest driver from Intel on my Satellite Pro U300-10 display

  Hello

  Intel has recently, a new display driver, which I think is useful to me because it won't let me play games that require:
  Pixel Shader PS1.1
  Vertex Shader VS 1.0
  "Act of war" and others.

  The pilot is the revision of the pilot: 15.12.4.1666, March 5, 2009
  It is supossed to be the latest driver for the video card U300: MOBILE INTEL 965 Express chipset family.

  The problem is that when I try to install, I have an error that says: "not for this system, ask your provider manufacturer.

  How can I install or where I could find the solution?

  I have TOSHIBA Satellite Pro U300-10 with Windows Vista Business 32.
  MOBILE INTEL 965 Express chipset family
  MOBILE INTEL GMA X 3100

  Thank you much in advance.

  Drivers designed for laptops are changed and adapted to provide performance fairly, but not to force a graphics card to run on the limit. As you probably know there are big difference between office and mobile graphics cards.

  Desktop graphics cards have no limits with cooling and drivers can be updated very often. Design of portable computers is completely different and all hardware components are placed on the square. The common problem with laptops is to design the system of cooling, small but effective.
  Because of all these reasons, display drivers must be tested and adapted by the laptop manufacturers. The main point is to protect the material. The same situation is with other manufacturers of graphics card. They don't offer drivers for laptops.

  If your graphics card will blow that will be responsible for this Toshiba or Intel?

  By the way: Satellite Pro U300 is for me a laptop of small business and certainly not designed for games. Do you agree with me?

• Satellite Pro U300: Cannot see the HARD drive during the installation of XP

  Due to the restrictions of the network must downgrade the operating system on a new satellite Pro U300. I am unable to run the XP + sp2 cd as it says there is no hard drive installed on the machine. I guess it's because I need 3 scsi drivers or third-party raid.

  Does anyone have these or know a place where I can get my hands on them? Or am I completely off the mark that you have another solution?

  Hello

  You need the Intel Matrix Storage Management utility for the management of your local storage, including the RAID support.

  On the European driver Toshiba page I found Robson tea for Vista package which includes the Intel Matrix Storage Management utility.

  The same can be downloaded from the Intel page for the XP operating system.

  I found this on the page of Intel:
  http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Filter_Results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName = Windows * + XP + Professional & lang = eng & strOSs = 44 & submit = Go %21

• Replacing the battery on Satellite Pro P100

  Hi can anyone recommend a reputable provider in Britain of the batteries for Satellite Pro P100, is a PA3480U-1BRS 6000mAh. ?

  People like DABS.com tried but they are always out of stock.

  As usual, there are plenty of weird sites found on Google but I have never heard of them and they offer for most non-Toshiba clones which I do not know if they are all good or even compatible.

  Ideally, I'll try to find a genuine Toshiba battery if I can

  Do Toshiba to provide directly?
  Thanks to all those who can help you

  Graham

  AFAIK, you can't order directly in battery Toshiba but each service provider authorized in the United Kingdom can get the original for you battery.
  I recommend checking the Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

  You can find the list of all FSA in the United Kingdom. Connect with some of them and look for information on replacing the battery, costs and delivery times.

  Bye and good luck!

  Thanks for your advice!

  Hello

  In your case I would uninstall the Realtek LAN driver.
  Can I visit the Realtek and download and reinstall the latest LAN driver.

  In addition, in the DOS command window, you can try to run this command:
  * Ipconfig / renew *.

  PS: Try to also set the default BIOS too.
