• Satellite A300 - HARD and the Installation of the OS disk replacement

  Hello world

  I watched a few videos online regarding how can I do to replace the two HARD drive in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG4E-04901CEN. However, I have a few inquires before that I undertake this task:

  (1) are there any recommendation to which HARD drive should I buy for this laptop. I want something affordable with speed and relatively good ability.
  (2) how I would go about installing Windows 7 OS on the new HARD drive. I have to update my BIOS and drivers when I finished installing?
  (3) are there other guides (written or video) that you would recommend that I go through before making the replacement?

  I appreciate any help on this matter.

  A few days ago a friend of mine asked me to help. HARD on its A300 disc was defective. We bought the new 250GB SATA HDD, succeeded him, and after that, I installed Win7 32 bit.
  Now the machine works perfectly.

  Do not do anything as the BIOS update. Just put the new HARD drive and launch the installation of Win7. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Here's how I installed all the stuff on A300 friends:
  -Win7
  -chipset driver
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -driver sound
  -modem driver
  -utility supervisor
  -infrared
  -patches
  -configfree
  -VAP
  Hardware - toshiba
  Control - HDMI
  -WLAN driver

  Everything works well but lacks some drivers

  Added Vista tips:
  Toshiba - help - working properly
  -Card reader - installed correctly
  -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
  Driver - Synaptics

  Win7 works well and I am very satisfied.

  If you need help more made me know.

• Satellite A300 - replacement for the keyboard button problem

  Satellite A300 broken my number key 3.
  Easy to fix but still Toshiba have charged me £43 to replace it with a new full keyboard.
  It is less than 6 months old and still under warranty.

  What an absolute joke, I wouldn't have another toshiba again.

  > What an absolute joke, I wouldn't have another Toshiba again.
  Well, it is your personal opinion but I agree.

  However, if you understand something about laptops so you'd know that the single button can not be replaced.
  Only the CAP can be replaced but not the button on the keyboard, and thus the entire keyboard needs to be replaced!

  In addition, the guarantee only covers hardware problems that are not caused by laptop user I n don't know why the button on your keyboard is broken (maybe you was your fault) but I think that you have contacted the ASP in your country and talked to the technician then why you didn't explain that it wasn't your fault?

  In any case, the case should be clear now

• Fan replacement for Satellite A300-1 ms

  Hi guys,.

  * Do you know some reliable online stores where I can buy a fan for Satellite A300 *-model 1MS? *
  Where do you buy most of the parts for your used laptops?

  Here are two stores I found, but I have no idea if they are trustworthy or not.

  I've seen a lot of sites that say A300 but the case is silver metal and the original is black plastic.
  The plastic or metal is not a big problem I'm worry about a problem of fitting.

  Thanks for any help,
  S

  + The message was edited: link has been removed - commercial +.

  You can order each part of the Toshiba laptop computer of authorized service provider available in your country. The ASP should be able to provide this part even if the laptop belongs to an old series laptop.

• 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 A300-1MC PSAG8E - Win 7 will forge index

  PO10220 BIOS update reduced WEI

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300 1MC (PSAG8E) 5.
  To improve performance there a few weeks, that the Vista Home Premium has been replaced by Windows 7 Home Premium.
  Until it doesn't index performance Windows was 3.7, but after installation, it has been reduced to 3.2.

  That's why & what can do?

  In my desperation I found on the Web of Toshiba site that PO10220 the BIOS update would improve performance.
  There is a warning window of the unknown publisher that I have downloaded the update.

  The result was that WEI has been reduced to 3.0 (which are pretty low).

  Why is he past & what can I do?

  Hello

  You have changed the operating system from vista to Win 7.
  The two systems are different and so the Windows experience index is different
  This is nothing unusual.

  In Windows 7, the maximum score is 7.9 (and 5.9 for Windows Vista users).
  While these numbers may seem strange to those used to a scale of 1 to 10, the Windows team has established the numbers for a reason.
  As technology becomes more sophisticated, the index will extend to 8.9 or beyond, to accommodate the faster hardware.

  More details about the Windows experience index located on the Microsoft page!

• Satellite A300-29N - auto restart within a time

  Hello

  I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-29N, recently, I noticed that my laptop auto-redémarre after 5 minutes, I thought that this could be a problem of charger so I replaced it, and nothing has changed, so I thought that maybe the power so I plugged the power regulator and no change, finally I opened to check for problems of heating and changed the CPU cooler and nothing has changed as well.

  This occurs if the operating system is Windows or Linux, so is hardware not software problems, recently, time went from 5 minutes to 30 seconds, directly after the OS loads, I don't really know what's wrong with it, I tried everything I suspected it might be the problem, anyone have any idea why what is happening?.

  Thank you

  Hi Chambers

  It is not easy to say why this is happening. Can you please do a little test?
  Start your laptop and enter the BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and let us know if the same thing happens again.

• Satellite A300-211 - ACPI overheating

  Hello

  Recently my laptop overheating to frequently. I had this problem before and I bought the cooling package and everything was fine. But now, despite the external cooling device he stil stops. I run SpeedFan to see what is causing this problem. Two hearts runs at an acceptable temperature. But there is that this thing called ACPI - Temp1. Exactly what is it? I used compressed air to clean fan and what I was able to clean with keyboard just disassembled.

  I do complete the cleaning? And last question. Is this fan the only source of cooling in my netbook
  I mean it's the only thing I should replace if cleaning does not work?

  Friend of mine has a similar problem with Satellite A300. Problem was overheating and suddenly switch offs. I disassembled the laptop and cleaned the area of cooling fan and cooling rack. It was full of dust and cooling rack was blocked by dust.

  After cleaning laptop was able to catch his breath and he has worked quietly and without compromise.
  I imagine that your laptop is also full of dust and must be cleaned but not using compressed air. Believe me, it must be disassembled cleaned in professional way.

  I must also say that the disassembly can be dangerous if you do it yourself. Something may be damaged so maybe you shouldn't do it yourself. Try to find someone who can do it for you.
  Accredited maintainer can do for you also but I can't say how much it costs. Contact and ask how it works.

• Satellite A300 cpu problem

  Hi all, I had a Satellite A300 under Vista 32 bit

  I posted in this forum earlier on my reboot loop problem
  (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=77256&stqc=true)

  I finally found that my laptop is fine when it is in safe mode, or when running only on battery
  Once I plug the power that the loop comes back, I saw in another post that disable both processors in Device Manager can solve the problem, and it worked for me!

  However, I want to do a factory restore because my OS is corrupted badly enough (probably due to virus?), many services can not start and also access no internet

  Problem is when I do the factory recovery, the processor driver will probably settle at some point my laptop won't fall through the loop again and was never able to complete the recovery?

  I tried other OS like ubuntu, but problem still exist, so I don't know this isn't OS problem.

  So I would like to know:
  1. What is the difference of the CPU in operation mode/battery safe mode/AC only mode?
  2. What does the processor driver? What happens when I disabled it them?
  3. a way to set the CPU mode in the BIOS? (so I can keep the work process recovery) (I tried ' dynamic/always low' and disable "multi core processing", no help)

  I tried to fix my laptop for weeks, your help is very appreciated!

  > Problem is when I make the resumption of the factory, the processor driver will probably settle at some point my laptop won't fall through the loop again and was never able to complete the recovery?

  I think it will always be the case if you install the system using the recovery disc or own Ms.

  > 1. What is the difference of the CPU in operation mode/battery safe mode/AC only mode?

  First of all if you run the laptop computer is in safe mode, only some essential system process would load and many components non-essential are disabled.
  The processor supports also different modes (C1, C2, C3) in order to save energy for energy savings
  Each CPU has multiple power modes, and they are collectively called States C or C-modes.

  > 2. What makes the processor driver? What happens when I disabled it them?
  Its a driver essential system. Unless the driver of the CPU, the system does not recognize the CPU correctly and the processor cores.

  > . Any way to set the CPU mode in the BIOS? (so I can keep the work process recovery) (I tried ' dynamic/always low' and disable "multi core processing", no help)
  N °
  The CPU seems to be the troublemaker and I think that it should be replaced

  > Do you want to say that if I buy the card and buy an additional antenna, it will work?
  I doubt that it will work because the antenna is hidden behind the screen of the laptop and I don t think that replace you it.
  First of all it s really complicated and secondly, you will lose your warranty!

• Satellite A300-114 - not reinitate after that screen stops

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-114 running Windows Vista Home Premium.
  It worked well until two weeks, now, after some time of inactivity, the screen goes off and it turns on again. Spots bright disk hard but the screen remains black. This becomes more often.

  Does anyone have the idea, what the problem?

  Thanks :)

  Hi jjginga,

  Have you tried an external monitor to your laptop computer? It's interesting because if you can identify if this is related to the internal screen or graphics card.

  I had a similar problem on my laptop that the internal screen was black, only the outer one worked. The solution was replacing FL inverter or screen internal.
