• Satellite P300 - 1-9-10 SD card reader code

  Hi all

  I have a new Toshiba P300 - 1 9, good for six months, and have just for the first time I tried an SD card into the slot of the multimedia card digital.
  The card does not appear in 'my computer '. In Device Manager it shows with the yellow sign fault warning of a problem.
  Double click it gives this message "this device cannot start code 10" in the management of the disk of the card is not listed in the upper pane, but shows as a player in the lower pane without a drive letter assigned.

  If I try to assign a drive letter, I get a message saying that the operation failed because the disk management console view is not updated.
  He wants to refresh the view by using the refresh task. Which does nothing.

  I reinstalled the drivers for the SD card listed under disk drives when the card is in, storage controllers and generic volume on storage volumes. I've also updated the driver for SD host adapters.

  A card format made no difference. I know that the card reader is correct because a few days ago, I took an image updated with Acronis TI and then reinstalled the OS from the recovery media. The card worked fine then. I have now put the Acronis image and the map does not work. I had loads of driver updates on the road to Toshiba for various things (but not the card reader) through their service Tempro, including an update of the bios.
  I wonder if the bios update caused the problem. I'm debating whether the BIOS to the default setting.

  I have tried everything I can think and followed by a number of suggestions after googling the problem. The MS Knowledge Base was not very useful and many people seem to have the same problem. I am now at a total loss.

  Thank you

  cheven

  Any ideas would be welcome.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The 10 error code means that the device cannot start.
  Card reader is not ready and is not running and therefore the SD card cannot be used and is not recognized in my computer.

  In most cases the update driver/relocation should help sort put them this question.
  Satellite P300 - 1 9 belongs to the PSPCCE series.

  The European driver Toshiba page provides the controller driver of card reader for this model of laptop. This is the driver that controls the SD card.

  I recommend that you download this driver. Access the Device Manager, and then uninstall the previous driver. Reboot the laptop.
  After restarting again the OS must find a new device and should request the necessary driver.
  Then you must point to the driver that you downloaded and should complete the installation.

  Usually, this should solve your problem.

• A few quick questions about the Satellite P300 - 18 M

  Hello

  I am about to order a Satellite P300 - 18 M and have just a few questions about this:

  (Although these may apply for other similar Satellite/Equium P300.)

  Is the touchpad made by / to use the Alps or Synaptics driver?

  It has the Wireless N network card, is the map made by Intel or Realtec?

  And also, someone has experience with face recognition software to connect?

  If so, does it take a lot of time to initalise?

  Thanks in advance,
  Jack

  Hello

  The P300 - 18M belongs to the PSPCCE series.
  It uses the two touchpad drivers. Synaptics & Alps Electric
  There is an Intel 802.11agn minicards WLan installed

  The face recognition is a nice tool but local to be illuminated and you must take your face the right of the post sometimes it of not very easy

  But if you face is recognized correctly that the connection should work properly

• A few questions about Toshiab reocvery disk for Satellite P300-133

  Hello guys,.
  I had a few questions about unpleasant surprises of recovery:

  (* 1) * I just make recovery DVD using Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator and he asked initially for 2 DVDs - but when one has been done it does not require a second blank DVD. Is it possible all the Windows Vista system files to write on 1 DVD?

  (* 2) * if I could reinstall Windows Vista using recovery of HARD drive option (by pressing F8) without using the recovery DVD?

  (* 3) * HARD drive partitions that will be formatted (just system C: or C: and E :) using HARD drive recovery?

  (* 4) * what is DVD - Image of the hard drives or the installation of Vista recovery files?

  Its pretty bad idea to not include BONES on DVD when I paid for it.
  Thanks for all the Toshiba problems :(

  1. I think the recovery disk creator means 2 CDs. I also have a Portege M700 with Windows Vista and a DVD. I got it and after that, I have a clean install of Vista with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. Nothing is missing.

  2. Yes, you can reinstall Vista using recovery of HARD drive option when you press F8 at startup. You don't need the recovery DVDs, but you should create a when your HARD drive get some errors or something else. If you need a new recovery DVDs, you paid for one.

  3 HARD drive and complete partitions will be formatted, so backup your data first on a DVD disk external DRIVE, USB stick or something else.
  After the reinstallation, you have factory settings.

  4. the recovery DVDs is an image of the HARD disk on the factory settings. If you perform a recovery, there are all the drivers and tools are already installed. Of course, on the disk are files of installations of Vista, but you can use this DVD on your Satellite P300. The disc cannot be used on another Satellite or on a PC.

  If you have any other questions, take a look in the user manual. There are a number in the formations of the recovery. It s in Chapter 3.

  Hello!

  I don't really have an idea, but it would be interesting if you have the same problem with an external keyboard (USB).

  Maybe it's a hardware problem and the keyboard is defective but for this contact the local ASP and ask for help. These technicians will help you solve this problem.

• Question about screen on Satellite P300 - 25 c

  Hello

  I was wondering if this laptop is like a mirror, or if it's a screen dark.
  Who can tell me?

  Thank you

  I guess under the mirror screen you mean TrueBrite screen.
  On almost all new laptops Toshiba screen is TrueBrite so I'm 100% sure that this laptop has this mirror screen.
  I checked the specifications specification and must tell you that this Satellite P300 - 25 c is great piece of hardware. Very good 1.3 MGPIX cam/mic built-in, powerful graphics. You can increase the RAM up to 8 GB. As far as I know you can also built in second drive HARD and his is fantastic with the harman/kardon speakers.

  A few months ago, my brother bought similar model but and it's great. If you buy it, believe me, you will love it.

• Install Windows 8 on Satellite P300

  As usual rushed in and installed Windows 8 on satellite P300. What error - slow, loss of functionality. How to get back to Vista was preinstalled or is there a way I can fix it to run windows 8.
  Processor Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU [email protected] 2.4 GHz, 4.00 (2.99 usable) GB RAM 32-bit system, x 64-based processor.

  Satellite P300 is plu laptop comes with Vista, but also supported for Win7. Unfortunately, it is not supported for Win8 so, in my opinion, there is no sense to install Win8 on it.

  Win7 works perfectly on this machine so if possible use Win7 on it. in case you want to use original Vista, you must install recovery using recovery DVD image. This way only to s to have factory settings once again.

  The question is: do you have the recovery disk?

• Satellite P300 with XP hangs at the screen "starting windows."

  I recently bought the Satellite P300 - 01 and had XP installed on it. I have fixed all the problems except for the question, that I'm going to start.

  When I turn on the laptop it loads everything flashes on the login screen and then hangs at 'starting windows' screen If I turn it off and then again about three times this issue finally arrives with the login screen. There was an ASP.NET account, and after the BIOS update that he disappeared, but the problem is still there? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  > There was an ASP.NET account, and he disappeared after the update of the BIOS
  The whole story is really strange

  I put t know how you installed XP on this laptop and why an ASP.NET account was created or exist, but in your case I would recommend doing so again.
  Then install all service packs, hotfixes and patches of the XP!

  Simply show words on XP on P300.
  A friend of mine has installed XP on a P300 yesterday too and the XP works well
  Everything works fine!

• Satellite P300 does not load

  Hello.

  I have Toshiba Satellite P300. It's almost 4 years.
  However, 3 months ago it started not not to charge the battery. I removed the battery and the computer left only with the adapter.
  Now it does not charge to one, I have to wait until electricity or sth will reach a level to start the computer.

  So, please help, if anyone has had similar problems or know the reason why and what to do.
  Maybe its adapter problem, or something wrong with the connection between the adapter and the pc. I don't know and have no money yet to check it out.

  Someone knows what's the problem? Thank you.

  Hello

  These issues can be related to different reasons;
  -AC adapter problem
  -Question-motherboard (I especially m thinking to provide electronic problem)

  But I don't think it could be malfunction AC adapter because the laptop can lights after either a specific power level reached or laptop can start after a longer time being connected to the power adapter. Is this good?

  Well, looks like a mobo problem but it's just a suggestion
  The parts must be checked first, before replacing

• Satellite P300-1 year - Touchpad problem with AC adapter / CC

  I have a laptop Satellite P300-1 year and from the beginning (two weeks)
  I have a touchpad problem: it will not immediately responsive and the pointer shakes when pressing the key. Very often, it freezes for only one or two seconds.

  It's VERY annoying. A USB mouse works perfectly.
  I tried to reinstall the drivers of the ALPS, tried Synaptics ones, just try Windows Vista drivers: no way.

  Now, I found the reason: this question is present only when the laptop is powered by the AC adapter / CC.
  With the battery, the touchpad is perfect.

  I contacted Toshiba Service and thay said that they do not change the AC adapter if I don't mean before a full system restore!
  Is it not more simple just try with a new adapter and then only, if the problem persists, try more drastic procedures?

  Anyone had this same problem?

  > I contacted Toshiba Service and thay said that they do not change the AC adapter if I don't mean before a full system restore! Is it not more simple just try with a new adapter and then only, if the problem persists, try more drastic procedures?

  The point is that your laptop should be always verified using the Toshiba factory setting.
  Why? Because the ASP wants to make sure that this issue is not related to a software problem (compatibility problems with applications 3rd part). Software problems are not covered by the warranty.

  In addition the ASP will always recover the laptop before the verification of the pieces of equipment to malfunction. Therefore, you should always back up your data from the HARD disk until you send the laptop to check.

  I recommend you to reinstall the operating system using the Toshiba recover disc and then check if the problem appears.
  If yes you can contact ASP and could provide all the necessary details for only one technician.

  Good bye

• Satellite P300 PSPC4A - BIOS no updates required for Win 7?

  I have a Satellite P300 (PSPC4A-03P01P)
  Currently 2 hard drives, both are partitioned.
  Disc 1 - C and D
  Disc 2 - F and G
  Current operating system on the C drive is OEM Vista 32-bit HP
  BIOS version is V4.20. 05/01/09

  I want to upgrade the Win - 7 HP 64-bit operating system
  I know that this will require a format the C partition.

  In preparation, I downloaded all the drivers for Win 7 64 bit

  My Questions:

  The BIOS will require the update to support 64-bit?

  If partitions D, F and G are left intact, Win-7 64-bit on the C drive will be able to read?
  Or these partitions will also require formatting?

  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  There is no relationship between the BIOS and the operating system. Thus, you need not upgrade Bios for Win 64 bit.

  > If partitions D, F and G are left intact, Win-7 64-bit on the C drive will be able to read?
  > Or those partitions will also require formatting?

  You can install the Os on C: and it will be able to read information on other partitions too.

• Where and how to buy a recovery for my Satellite P300 PSPCCA 015015 disc?

  Hello

  I'm sorry, I know this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find the solution.
  I have a Satellite P300 PSPCCA-015015, (which came with Windows Vista, when I bought it).
  I did a clean install of Windows 7. Now many things did not work with this OS if I want to reinstall the previous version of windows.
  The only thing is that I have created a recovery disk and lost their: (.)
  Now, I have the hard disk that windows creates the recovery disc files in. All I need is to either 1 get the software recovery disk creater my model or
  the recovery disk full reinstall with factory setting.
  Would you know where I could get one of these two.
  I am WIndows 7 CAP to death at the moment and Im regreting his installation and lose my disks :(

  Oh also to tell you I'm alive in the Japan now, but I bought the laptop in Australia, so there English OS, more I was wondering how I would go he posted to the Japan.
  or if I go somewhere in Tokyo and solve this problem by a toshiba shop that performs repairs.

  Thanks I hope I can get an answer and a solution of someone.

  I don't know how it works in Australia, but I think you can order the original recovery by Australian Toshiba service provider media.
  I don't know if they'll send it but a friend you can order and buy it for you and send you later to the Japan.

  I think it's the easiest way to get the original Toshiba drive facilities.

• Satellite P300-1 has 8 - part number for the AC adapter / CC

  Hello.

  Can anyone tell me the part number of the AC adapter I need to buy for my Satellite P300-1 c 8?
  Model No.: PSPCOE-01H008EN 15550 / 1024/1024/160 G 54/17W + BT/D52/L/M/L

  The toshiba site list or recognize the model, CarPhone Warehouse does not provide me with detailed documents and the original adapter was stolen. If not, can anyone provide an email address for toshiba (I am unable to call during their office hours).

  Or failing that, some general tips on an adapter compatible Please, I bought an adapter for the correct base - 19V, 3 specification. 95 a, (75W), Connector (PA3715E-1ACE) 2.5/5.5mm however, it does not work. The toshiba site lists another card of the same specs (PA3468E-1AC3) but I am reluctant to risk without being sure that it is just to buy it. I'd be happy to buy a universal adapter but only a high quality which will not be an electrical danger.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hey Buddy,

  You can search for options and accessories here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/generic/PC-options-Accessories-EU/

  Why you need an email at Toshiba?
  If you have questions about spare parts, you must contact a Toshiba instead authorized service provider.

  In general, I would recommend the original adapter because it of tested and designed for your laptop. With other words, it s a product of high quality.
