Re: Keyboard weird behavior on my laptop satellite A300

Hi all

I have a portable Sattelite A300.

In the last days, I had some problems with certain keys on the keyboard. The first 'l' not typed well and today I got in trouble by doing the work of 'm', and now it seems that the CTRL key does not answer more.

It seems to me that it's a software problem.
What can I do about it?

Thank you!

Also if you think it's a software problem, and then try to reinstall the operating system using the disk from Toshiba.
If the question will always be persists then it would mean that you have a hardware problem and the laptop (keyboard) must be checked and, if necessary replace.

    > still have problems with the keyboard well and having to use the on-screen keyboard to type

    In your case I would recommend you to connect an external USB keyboard and test the laptop as part of this external keyboard.
    In case the external keyboard would work perfectly, the problem is not related to the keyboard controller, but your internal keyboard and to solve this problem, the internal keyboard needs to be replaced.

    Hello John

    It is not easy to understand the whole situation, especially the part with the virus.
    In my opinion, Windows XP Home edition installation should not be problematic.

    What you need is Windows XP Home SP2 or SP3 and driver SATA edition disc. Without SATA driver disk HARD will be not visible to Windows XP Home edition.

  • Re: SD stuck in my laptop Satellite A300

    Hello
    Thanks for the replies... I inserted my SD card of digital camera to my laptop
    and his dead end tight...

    When you enter the SD card in the card reading slot, you will hear a click and the map will remain inside.
    In this position, the card is in the correct position, and you should have access to the data.

    When you want to remove, simply press the inside slowly until the click is heard again. Then stop pushing inside and the card should turn off.
    This happens to you?

  • For a laptop Satellite A300 1J1 recovery CD creation

    I have no prior experience to make a recovery CD, and I hear are only get a shot to do so and therefore must be careful not to screw up. That's why... I write here so I can get some clarification on how to achieve this. I'm not going to rush in like a bull in a China shop, because it's usually when I make mistakes.
    Wish someone to guide me through to this step by simple step so that is not too demanding request. I would appreciate it a lot.

    All the I know is that I have the Toshiba recovery disc creator in Program Files... I'll install ImgBurn if it's OK to use it, but would like some advice to help me with this so I do not spoil.

    Moussa kind thanks,
    KES

    Hello Kes

    Toshiba takes care of you and simply how to do this. ;)

    You should not install anything. Just start Toshiba Recovery creator tool and put the DVD-R media empty high quality and follow the menu on the screen. All that s.
    I recommend you to use TDK or Verbatim media. I tested both of them, and they work for sure.

  • 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 starts sometimes like when you turn it on

    Hey people,

    So my sisters laptop (satellite A300) was more than heating for basically since we bought it, but now I think that has caused a serious problem.
    Now it does not start at times like when you turn the backlight only market not even turn on.

    Hard drive does nothing basically nothing just the power light comes on it is all.
    But when I remove the charger and close the lid and open it again, wait like 2 minutes it magicly towers, so it's the startup problem.

    This may have something to do with it, but when you plug the cable that the tactile area (above the keyboard) lights up if laptops or disable but don't market not turn on if not plugged Chargers... also touch dosen't work area.

    So many things hope you understand all this, thank you!

    Hello

    I think that this is related to the problem of equipment; Maybe this problem of motherboard or power suply electronics problem.
    But that's just a guess and no one here will be able to say what's going wrong with your laptop until it has been checked by a technician.

    That's why I put t think you could solve this problem, install the new OS or new BIOS.
    I therefore recommend to request a laptop technician help and equipment to check.

  • The function key does not work on Satellite A300 (PSAG4E)

    Hello!

    I have laptop Satellite A300-PSAG4E
    I had installed sp3 WinXPPro on it. All great, but some problems with keys appeared.
    First - 6 functional keys above main keyboard (1 - light (?), 2 - multimedia player (?), 3 - play/pause, 4 - stop, 5 - prev, 6 - then) just change light when they pressed, but in OS, there is no action.
    Second - by pressing the Fn key and, e.g. F2 cause no action

    All drivers and programs has been downloaded and installed from toshiba support center. Should what information I provide to solve this problem?

    Hey,.

    What you mean exactly if you write about the replacement of the lamp if you press the buttons of enlightenment? Change the color or what's happening exactly on the laptop?
    Normally the buttons of the illumination and the XP to Toshiba control controls pilot, utilities, etc.

    Using the FN + F2 key combination you can change between the profiles of different powers. Therefore, you need Toshiba Power Saver that can be downloaded on the page of Toshiba. It s really a tool where you can adjust the power and cooling settings.

  • Satellite A300 - Code atstart-up sound

    Hello

    I own a laptop Satellite A300 (6 years) which I think could be finally dead! When I switch on, I get 1 long and 2 short beeps and a black screen. There is no symbol 'pie' below the scroll key, but all other lights are working.

    Is it finally time to buy a new laptop or can it be saved? It happened without warning

    I think that the graphics card is dead. Usually a video card in mobile machinery can be fixed, and in such cases, entire motherboard must be exchanged.

    To be honest, it's time for the new laptop computer.
    But before you throw, you can try to buy model identical laptop on eBay with faulty display or anything else, but if the motherboard is OK you can share and be your machine again in life.
    The A300 models are not more expensive and on eBay, you will find a lot of them. Just be sure he has the part number the same as your A300.

    My A300 is the PSAG8E model.

  • 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.

    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 - dvd, usb and card reader does not work

    Help needed please.

    Have a laptop Satellite A300, running vista.

    Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it. The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full.)

    The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card and the other usb port does not fuction.

    I have not installed or don't remember changing of settings or do whatever it is the habit.

    Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Your ad is very confused.
    > Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it.
    Well, there are several reasons for this; It would be possible that the inserted disc is not completely compatible. Try different drives from different manufacturers.
    It would also be possible that the STRANGE laser lens is dirty. In this case, you might clean using a cotton ball and alcohol tip. In my case it helped.

    > The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full).
    Did you use a compatible card? The laptop runs these cards:
    8MB - 2 GB SD card
    SDHC - 4 GB card
    -16 MB - 2 GB xD Picture card
    Memory Stick - 8MB - 256MB
    Memory Stick Pro - 256 MB - 2 GB
    MultiMediaCard - 8 MB - 1 GB
    miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32 MB - 2 GB

    I recommend also to format the card and to copy files from computer, and then test this.
    You can also reinstall and update the driver for the card reader controller...

    > The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card
    Can't believe that you must use a scanner software (must be provided with the scanner) and have to test this unit. By the way; for the most part a scanner driver must be installed in order to use this

  • Linux drivers for ATI 3470 on Satellite A300 - 15 k?

    I have laptop Satellite A300 - 15 k with Ati 3470, there is no driver for linux on Ati or site Toshiba, how to install Linux 3470? :(

    Hello

    Toshiba does not provide support for linux at this time. There have been rumors that they would install Linux on their machines, but they have not been confirmed and I know: as long as they don t preinstall something on their laptop, they absolutely can't stand.

    Usually, it shouldn't be a problem to install your graphics card under linux, according to which you´re use distribution you should check the appropriate forum (for example if you installed ubuntu, then check out the ubuntu forums..)
