• Question about the extended warranty on Satellite A300-1EI

  Nice day.
  I need to some information and help please.
  I bought a laptop around mid September 2008 in Saudi Arabia. (Jarir Bokstore). The store had a promotion whereby you get the standard one year international warranty, BUT they give you a further extension of one year (so 2 years in total).
  I intended to have bought an extended warranty for a period of three years. The seller told me that I can activate my warranty 'gift' and later buy another warranty extendable to a total of 4 years international coverage.

  I signed the guarantee and it appears on the portal of warranty toshiba.
  However, when I returned to the store to buy a new extended warranty told me that you cannot register more than one warranty.
  I found it strange and therefore did not buy the extended warranty still additional. I need to know if it's actually true, or I'll always be able to buy an extended warranty again. Seems that I meet a brick wall, when I ask the salemen... .thought I would try the forum instead.

  I need to get information from a reliable and trustworthy source.
  The other news, they also gave me, is that they are waiting for news from Toshiba regarding the same subject.

  Kindly help.
  I thank you and looks forward to a response.

  Hello

  AFAIK all Toshiba laptops are covered under warranty for one year (12 months).
  If you would register your laptop on the Europe of Toshiba page you would get more than one year warranty; total 2 years warranty.

  > The store had a promotion whereby you get the standard one year international warranty, BUT they give you a further extension of one year (so 2 years in total).
  The additional year of warranty is not a gift from the shop. You will get this additional year warranty always if you would register the laptop. It has nothing to do with the place where you purchase this laptop.

  So now, a few words about your warranty extensions.
  First, you will need to register your laptop on the Europe of Toshiba page.
  This registration will allow the second extra year of warranty. (as mentioned above)
  Now if you want you can buy even more extended.

  Toshiba offers various packages and in your case I would recommend to check this Toshiba Europe page for more details:

• Satellite A300 - how to start HARD drive recovery after own OS insatallation

  Hi guys.

  I have a question.
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista.
  Normally I have the recovery with the normally pre-installed utility partition.
  After that I formatted the system partition, I installed a clean and fresh Windows 7 copy.

  My question is this.
  Since the recovery partition does not get soiled with, is there not a way to install the disk recovery utility hard back in recovery of Windows of F8 before the boot options?

  Please don't tell me that I need to have the recovery disk.
  I already did, I just want to find a solution because it is not that hard for someone who accidentally formatted the system partition and had not created the disks, but the recovery partition. My guess is to do some modifications in the files of the Windows recovery environment that are launched when you use the option to repair my computer at startup, because normally, HARD drive recovery utility appears as one of its tools-options.

  The problem is that I don't have to where these files are, maybe (C:\boot?)
  Currently, I am trying to see if a facility upgrade of windows 7 on windows vista will keep options for hard drive recovery then maybe I will find what it takes.

  All suggestions are welcome!
  Thank you for your time.

  OK, just a hint more, I found what is happening with the recovery environment, and which must be replaced to include more tools...
  This article was really helpful:
  http://www.techplat.com/2010/02/12/how-to-replace-default-Windows-7-recovery-environment-in-diagnostic-and-recovery-toolset/

  Also, I found a few guides microsoft on changing windows 7 recovery environment.

  So I continue and I think I'm close...

• Satellite A300 may depend on from when the power adapter plugged

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A300 when the laptop is connected to the power adapter I have no possibility to turn it on, it's only 2-3 seconds once it comes down.
  When Toshiba is enabled with the battery power and I tried to connect the adapter it also goes down.
  I have no problem with the charge itself, but only with working with AC adapter.

  Please help me what can I do with this problem, does anyone has similar problem?

  Hello!

  For me it sounds like a hardware failure of the motherboard if the AC/DC adapter is plugged and the laptop is turned on

  I don't know but how best to m would be if you go to the authorized service provider nearest with the AC/DC adapter. Technicians can check your laptop and swap the motherboard if it of really necessary. The guys are very friendly and helpful!

  Here, you can search the nearest ASP:

• Satellite A300 - restarts when I plug it into a power outlet

  Hi guys this seems to be the place to ask this question,
  My laptop is Satellite A300

  When I connect the adapter it restarts all of a sudden, if I stay on the battery, it is fine if I am running Windows and plug power will be locked up and restart. It starts so that plugged either, unless it is in safe mode. With the power of the battery (with power adapter) machine works without any problem.

  The problem (reboot) occurs when I connect to the AC adapter. I have change the power supply and tested. Remove the battery and tested. In addition, reformat and reinstall Vista and BIOS update.

  But the problem is still there, please can someone help me?

  Thank you!

  Hi icebunny,.

  Do you use an original Toshiba AC/DC adapter or a 3rd party one? This would explain why the computer restarts. Probably he doesn't use the correct specifications for voltage or intensity thus restarting the laptop.
  Did you check the characteristics of the AC/DC adapter? The lower side of your laptop, you can check which adapter AC/DC (e.g. 19V 4, 3 a) is necessary.

  Can you charge the battery when the laptop is turned off?

  At the moment I think that it s mainboard malfunction and that would mean that he must replace :(

• Satellite A300 restarts randomly when it is plugged in power chords

  I know it has been on many topics and forums before but-

  Satellite A300 Toshiba registered repairman after only another technician claimed the question was the motherboard.

  So a new hard drive had to be replaced (it was old age) by registered repairer.

  Graphics card died - map is part of the motherboard = motherboard replaced.

  Supposed to win - phone to make sure everything is well = "there still the issue."

  QUESTION = RANDOM COMPUTER RESTARTS WHEN THE POWER CORD IS PLUGGED

  Don't forget not that the shop has been informed of the initial question
  1. phone call.
  2. by myself (wife) when I dropped the camera repair
  3. in the drop by my husband via phone
  4. by myself at diagnosis
  5 once again by my man when diagnostics
  6. by my man when he discussed the hard drive with 2 people at the store options
  7. after replacing hard drive
  8. by myself when new montherboard was "mandatory".
  9. my man at the same point

  So you can imagine today is both 10th, 11th and 12th, the store has been said that they do not listen

  I got to say REGISTERED REPAIRER WHAT TOSHIBA to TROUBLE THE PROBLEM!

  NOW for my NEXT question.

  On all THE forums I have read about it, I always come back to the same answer - replace NEC/CATHERINE Proadlizer

  However, in looking at the published images and instructions I now get the image that this is part of the motherboard also. This is why I wonder how actually to our brand new motherboard installed days ago!

  If the capacitor is part of the motherboard I think which was replaced why this question is STILL being implemented?

  If not where is it located?

  At our graphics card on the old Board REALLY dead?
  Or was this like the last technician and as demonstrated - surprisingly not listening?

  All related information (and directions to give the tech) would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I'm really sorry to hear that you have such problems after Exchange of motherboard and I really don't understand why service is not properly check and test the features of the laptop.
  To discuss these issues is quite complicated because we can only speculate what may be the problem and no one can say with certainty why this happens.

  In my opinion all you can do is to do some tests and try to do a rational conclusion, but in the end service should solve the problem.

  Just a few questions about described:
  Everything is OK is when you use the power supply battery?
  How it works with power supply current when the battery is removed?
  Start the machine and enter the BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and check if computer laptop turns off again?
  What operating system do you use? Are you using the original OS that you got with the A300 or clean install of the OS?

• Satellite A300 restarts when I connect AC adapter / CC

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300, and there is problem, as soon as I connect my adapter to my labtob it restarts directry, and there is no problem when I connect my adapter for my labtob in offline or even in safe mode.
  I tried to update the BIOS but I can't caudln because it is difficult to udate BIOS without plugging your power adapter...

  something else, I changed my power adapter with another, but nothing has changed and I corrected my original vista OS labtob, but also nothing has changed

  can any body help my out to solve this problem

  awaiting your response

  With or without the battery, the laptop must run stable on the sector
  If it s not the case, it is possible that your motherboard is affected but I hope that's not because it would be the worst case :(

• Satellite A300 has a bad power plug overheating easily and freezes a lot

  I got my Satellite A300 about 10 months ago. There always have a badly taken power.
  A little tugging or pulling up to my laptop, the power cable when falls.
  Is intended for it be loose? Does anyone else have this problem?
  I don't know if I should use my warranty to have it checked.

  I also overheating, blacken and freezing problems.

  Hello Teresah

  I wonder really after that 10 months you did nothing to solve this power plug the question.
  Why don't you contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider? I guess that laptop has guaranteed valid and these issues can be fixed for free.

  Be careful with this stuff power and contact the service as soon as possible. I don't know where you live but the complete list of all authorized Toshiba service providers you can find on the Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > download & support > find an ASP.

  With the service guys, you can also discuss abut all other issues you mentioned in this announcement.
  I am also owners A300 and use my laptop about a year now. I use my laptop every day for my work and it runs more than 8 hours a day. So far, I did not notice any hardware or software problem. I ve defined the parameters of power management the balanced diet combined with the minimum level set in the cooling method option. Laptop runs quiet and, at the same time, has enough power for my daily activities as Internet, office applications and Skype.

  It is not easy to say what the problem with your laptop, but I recommend you contact the closest service Toshiba and to clarify these issues.

  Good luck.

• Satellite A300 stops when the power adapter cable

  Hi people

  When I connect the power cable for my toshiba satellite a300, it stops immediately. I can use it on battery normally without any problems.
  When I boot in safe mode, it works fine without any problems with the AC adapter plugged into the laptop.
  Operating system is Windows Vista
  What is the reason? What can I do to fix this?

  Thank you

  Can you use it for laptop with AC power only when the battery is removed?
  If so, boot up your laptop and when the operating system is loaded to put battery inside, wait a few minutes and disconnect the power supply.
  Plug it in again and let us know if the same thing will happen again.

• Satellite A300 - restarts if I plug charger

  Hi all

  I'm on Toshiba Satellite A300 (psag0n/00w00u). Today, I installed Vista home edition. Now, I am facing strange problem that is my lappy restarts automatically as I plug in charger. This problem started suddenly previously installed OS (Vista ultimate), but at this time there I didn't notice if this only happens when I plug in charger. It seems to be a hardware error.

  Can you please help?

  Thanks in advance,
  Fox

  Hi remy,.

  In my opinion this has nothing to do with the Vista installation restart your laptop if you plug in a charger.

  To me, it looks like a hardware problem and your laptop should be checked by a technician of the laptop. Maybe the motherboard needs to be replaced or something else.
  By the way: you use the original from Toshiba AC adapter or another?

  If you use the original Toshiba adapter, contact the service provider authorized in your country. If not try again with an original Toshiba adapter.

• Satellite A300 - CPU & GPU upgrade questions

  Hello everyone!

  I have a satellite A300-1 to 9 (Intel Core 2 Duo T8300, Ati 3650, lcd WXGA 1280 * 800, 2 discs hard etc.) running Windows XP + SP3 + utility Toshiba etc...

  These are my questions...

  (1) can I upgrade the CPU Core 2 Duo P8400?
  (I know that T8300 and P8400 use the same socket)

  (2) can I put my screen WXGA (1280 x 800) with a WXGA + (1400 * 900) or WSXGA + (1680 * 1050)?
  How will this affect the battery consumption?

  (3) having the computer plugged (a/c power), when I close the lid, the computer goes into sleep mode.
  When I open the lid, the computer wakes.
  Unfortunately, the computer is running on battery power is not the case... I opened the lid and nothing happens,
  I have to press the power button for pc to wake up...

  can I fix?

  Thanks in advance...

  Satellite A300's newest model of laptop and I wonder how you feel about this hardware upgrade after so little time to use.
  In General, these upgrades are probably possible, but certainly not supported by Toshiba.
  In other way such radical update as a poster of upgrade is absolutely not logical for me. You probably know how expensive these parts are.

  In my opinion, should you sold your laptop and buy new with exact material you like to have.

  What about the last question? Please check all settings in the control panel and make sure that you have chosen the right option when the notebook is on battery or plugged in.

• Re: Can foreign supply in question on my Satellite A300

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my satellite A300, which is difficult to explain, and I have not found this problem anywhere elsewhere in the forums. I'm not a computer expert and I will try to explain the problem.

  When the battery is fully charged and I turn on the laptop, I can use the laptop for 5 minutes and I get a warning to reconnect. When I plug in, the system crashes. Nothing don't move or nothing happens. Press and hold the power for a few seconds and the system is off. I reload and restart once again and I play video sopcast or request some other videos and then plug-in system, it works fine. Once again I can use the system unplugged for just a few minutes, if I plug it crashes.

  If you play sopcast, plugin, it works.
  If I start the system in safe mode, it starts very well and I can use the system as long as I want. Even though I have the plugin in safe mode, it works fine.
  I checked with some experts and they say that the graphics card has disappeared. Some say that it could be a virus. Some say that it is a problem with the battery and charger.

  Please help me. I am writing my thesis today, and all my data is in this system.

  Thank you

  Have you noticed similar problems when you use the laptop with AC power only, without the battery?

  Start the laptop with AC power and when Windows is loaded correctly put the battery inside. What happen exactly when you do this?

• Satellite A300 restart when it is plugged power

  Hi all
  I see some of these problems arise in the forums and I was wondering if anyone has a solid answer as to if this is fixable or is the laptop useless now.

  Satellite A300
  No error log display software errors.
  Error recovery reports an unexpected shutdown.
  Recovered the system using that a disc of recovery on the 3rd test and the problem persists.

  Although battery-operated system is functioning properly, but the battery life is simply not long enough that the laptop is my main computer.

  The laptop is now outside its warranty period and if I can not understand that I might as well use it as a doorstop and buy something else.

  Thanks in advance for your time

  Your mobile phone is turned off, you remove the battery, connect the power adapter and switch it on. What happen next?

• Satellite A300 1lW - installation of Windows 7 - any questions?

  Good morning/afternoon!

  I would like to install a new internal hard drive on my laptop and I want to put windows 7 on it.

  The problem is that it is the first time that I'm going to do this and I Don t really know what kind of functionality will be incompatible with this installation.

  -You can recommend me a version of windows 7 that may be suitable for this laptop?
  -What features will be disabled when I install windows 7 on my new hard drive?

  Thank you very much!

  Concerning

  Remy

  Hi mate

  To be honest I wonder about these questions.
  Windows 7 is fully supported and normally you should get no problems with Windows 7 running on Satellite A300.

  The Windows 7 drivers are available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. T
  for this I put t expect serious problems.

  If you have any questions, feel free to ask the people here in the community. :)

• Question of graphics 3D Satellite A300-23d

  I bought a Satellite A300-23d about 4 weeks ago. I use my laptop for graphics and the game. I used it with no problems at all during the first 2 weeks. But later, during the game Anno 1404 suddenly some scattered polygons and textures purpleish appeared. I thought it is the result of the game. But I started to see these artifacts in all games. Now, I can't yet play 3D games on my pc. After you start a game, I see a yellow-red-purple checkered kind on my screen and polygons get spiky.

  It looks like a hardware malfunction. Because I tried the update of drivers and hard drive recovery. It is getting worse day after day. Windows works perfectly fine (except that I got approximately 4 BSOD) but I can't play 3D games! What can I do? The only solution I think it gives for repair. I get the objects even when you play with powerplay (underclocked). It is not a heat problem. And if you ask, I'm not overclocking my laptop. With the help of stock parameters.

  Hello

  BSOD is a sign of hardware or software problem and eventually it s related to the GPU question
  If the new OS didn't install help, I'd recommend contacting the guys of ASP.

  Good luck
