  It will be interesting to see if the fingerprint sensor and touchpad may work with Vista preinstalled originally.

  You have installed Win 7 but you didn t install some tools that controls the FN keys!

• Satellite Pro A300: Problem with Microsoft Security Essentials

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 with XP SP3 and now deleted AVG Free and installed Microsoft Security Essentialls (MSE).

  The result is after installing MSE and begin my laptop cursor is stuck in the center of the screen and will not respond to the inputs of the mouse or the keyboard.

  In aid of F12 to get my startup options allowed me to try the Safe Mode and last known good Configuration etc but they all show the same functionality, IE freeze when the desktop appears. XP seems to be operating in the background, for example system clock stays on time, "notice" system if its wifi singal is removed etc.

  Just to make the day to try to do an OS reinstall pressing 0 to on has no effect - system just boots in XP - so I can't my recovery partition!

  I have now is not a HW problem as the /kbd cursor works if I boot into a non-windows system, for example UBUNTU CD

  Any suggestions welcome - such as can I download a recovery on antother PC CD and burn a recovery CD?

  Hello

  I have no idea what happened after installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but it seems that you are not able to access the files on the HARD drive
  I think you need to reinstall the operating system using HARD drive recovery.

  But this would format the system partition :(

  In order to save the files from the HARD drive, I recommend using / boot from a bootable floppy from Win PE.
  Win PE (also called BartPE) is a thin window OS that is bootable CD and don t need to be installed on the HARD drive.

  I flashed the Bios with the latest version, did not help my problem.
  After stopping the machine down, the slot voltage stays on, even if the disks hard etc. are off.

  If you hold down the power button on this point, the machine turns off completely, then you can start again.

  Also, when the machine is turned on, the power button is strangely.
  Sometimes a single press stops the machine, sometimes it restarts. Sometimes, he won't do anything

• On Satellite Pro A300-13Y USB port problem

  I have a Satellite Pro A300-13Y with 4 USB ports. The USB ports of two right don t work. I bought this phone recently (2-3 weeks ago). It has a Windows Vista Business SP1 on it. I put chip in utility installed on it, I checked the Device Manager and tried to find driver for it but I couldn't solve this problem.

  So I called Toshiba service dek, they say that I need to install new standard to factory install to see if it can be solved. But I don t find it the best way and I have some applications installed on it and get some info on my laptop, so I would find another way to solve this problem.

  Also, I think it might be a hardware problem. Can someone show the way in which I can find or fix this? I can also send it to guarantee, but I made a mistake and if there is not a hardware problem that I have to pay for it.

  Hello

  I know it s not the best way, but it's the only way to exclude a hardware failure. If after a recovery of the won´t of USB ports not work then you can send it to repair without being in doubt that they will charge you for the repair.

• Satellite Pro A300-195: Realtek 8187 B Wlan driver and driver of Smartphone problem

  I have a Satellite Pro A300-195, running a card wireless Realtek 8187 B and Windows XP Professional. It was working fine until yesterday, when I installed the drivers for my new Samsung Galaxy S2.

  Now, I can access the internet if I connect to my laptop to the router using the cable ethernet, but if I try to do wireless, it gives me a list of networks, but it won't let connect me to one of them.

  It is the installation of new drivers or is this some sort of weird of incompatibility between the drivers for both devices?

  To be honest, I can't believe that the smartphone software would affect the WLan driver functionality but I don't know this smartphone software and so I can't say that for sure

  Then first of all, you should check if you have enabled the WLan card on your laptop. Did you? Using FN + F8, you can activate the Wlan.

  In addition, please check in Device Manager if the wireless network card is correctly recognized. Is there is some yellow exclamation points then it could mean that something is wrong here in this case it would be necessary to reinstall the Wlan driver.

  The Wlan driver can be found here:

  I recommend also to check the support page of the manufacturer of smartphone and check if there are a few known issues regarding this software

  The problem is that your laptop supports the SATA HDD controller but the system OS does not contain the SATA drivers
  You can assign in the compatible SATA mode BIOS.

• Satellite Pro A300-28V - my bluescreens disappeared when the BIOS has been upgraded

  I'm curious to know about it. The machine is a Satellite Pro A300-28V with Vista32/Win7.
  Had problems with bluescreen dumps referring to 'iaStor.sys '. I was about to send the laptop in for repair when I made this last effort to resolve the problem. Upgrade 1.9 to 2 BIOS, 1 - Win.

  All of a sudden my system image succeeded! Even at an Iomega home network HDD. Without complex!
  No blue screen exports even at startup 'cold' (after a free night)!

  For now, I leave the computer in sleep mode while I am at work. Let's see if he managed a day without landfills.

  What is the technical difference between 1.9 and 2.1 BIOS? No idea if it's something with iaStor.sys to do?

  Hi mate

  This is really good news as your BSOD displeasured after the BIOS update.
  The BIOS give instructions to the test power - on self test (POST) and provide basic information on how to manage components of the laptop, as HDD, ODD memory, that are required to load the operating system.

  Who knows, what was changed in the update but the main thing is that all the work and the update solve your BSOD

  > No idea if she has something with iaStor.sys to do?
  iaStor.sys is part of the SATA driver who is required to recognize the HARD drive using AHCI mode.

• Satellite Pro A300 - overheating

  Hello

  It's been a year and a half I got my Satellite Pro A300. A week ago, it started overheating very badly. Low CPU usage, it maintains its normal temperature of 55 - 60 c (given the weather was hot).
  However, if I try to do something heavy CPU, lets the temperature of 100 ° C in a few minutes and the laptop stops. The fan works, except that it does not seem to generate as usual, as a powerful airflow which made me think it was clogged. I disassembled the laptop, but I couldn't get to the cooling unit because of three cables from the motherboard to the plastic shell, who of the White T, shaped connectors for the life of me I couldn't get out, even a little bit. I cleaned up what I could with compressed air and a little dust was allowed, however, the fan/radiator wasn't blocked at all.

  After put back together there no significant difference.
  I am sure that it is a new phenomenon that I did turn the machine much warmer weather in the worst conditions with loads CPU near 100% without any problems. I checked all the settings, just in case something has mitigated the fan, but the public electricity of standby service is set to "Maximum Performance".

  I appreciate the ideas and help, even a few tips on how to disconnect the cables from the motherboard.
  Thanks in advance.

  I imagine that there is a lot of dust inside and maybe is time for professional cleaning. You can contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. The guy he takes apart the whole notebook and remove all dust placed between the vents.

  In any case, try to use your laptop with power management balanced which will reduce the performance of the processor, but your laptop will have enough power for normal operations.

  In General, I think that your laptop must be properly cleaned.

  Hello

  Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.
  And you cannot access the BIOS if you shut down the computer.

  You can use an external mouse on the laptop? Please check this too.

• Satellite Pro A300 - I get the 'Windows search' if I left click on any folder

  I just bought a Satellite Pro A300 and it downgraded to Windows XP SP3.

  When I click the icon of any folder on my hard drive I got the "Windows Search" window instead of the folder. When I right click on any folder icon, the first item on the menu (in bold) is "search".

  How can I change the order of these items in menu so as 'Open' is the first element?

  Delete (Control Panel Add / Remove Programs) the installation of Windows Search without affecting any software I have loaded?

  Looking for Windows installation installed the likely cause of my problem?

  Thank you

  Murray

  Just solved my problem:

  1. the order of the items in the context menu of files can be changed by updating actions for file types specified in the Folder Options Menu. Select Folder Options + of + the + Tools + menu of any folder, select + File Types + and scroll to the bottom for * file *. Click on * advanced * then * New * and add * open * with * Explorer * as the program to use. Click on * OK * and * Close * and bingo! Appears in the order of the menu shortcut in XP is open before you search, but in XP Pro followed research of Open / Explore.

  2. the utility Windows search can be deleted without problem despite the warning launched - Microsoft Web site indicates the warning is simply a generic warning and it is highly unlikely that removal will affect all software installed since the loading search utility.

  3. the Windows Search utility is NOT the cause of this problem.

  Trust that the other could save hours of research that I had to do to find this solution...

• Satellite Pro A300 - for Windows 7 power management strategy

  Hi all

  I have the following on my Satellite Pro A300 problem:

  My laptop fan works continuously, which means almost always turn. I cleaned the entire cooling with compressed air, so it is not clean, no problem with that. The reason is that in browsers when Adobe Flash Player runs, it loads the CPU and the GPU, so that the fan trying to cool the system.

  Now I ask you, is there any solution to fix this? I mean even to reduce the GPU clock speed when I do not use the graphics intensive applications.

  I use Google Chrome as default browser and the Windows 7 OS 32 bit.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  If an application load the CPU and the GPU it s normal behavior that the fan rotates and probably on top level so it s high usage. So don t you worry because everything is normal. The fan protects the equipment from overheating.

  What you can do is updated Google Chrome and Flash Player. Also try to use the most recent version, they also contain security updates.

  Last but not least, you can change the cooling method in the power management Windows (change the power plan settings). If you have installed Toshiba Value added Package, you can choose between optimized battery and a maximum Performance. Select optimized battery and fan activity will be less.
