• Satellite A300 is completely dead, no lights, no power at all

  I checked th AC and power cable adapter, but the unit does not power upward. There is no sign of it being connected to a power source.

  No light. The plug of the power cord plugs into is wiggle a little put the PIN is stable.
  Any suggestions?

  > Any suggestions?
  There must be a serious problem with electronic power (motherboard) so I guess there is nothing you can do about it. Bring it to the Toshiba service and ask for help.
  In such cases mainboard needs to be replaced, so it can be very expensive for you.

  Maybe it's time for the new laptop computer.

• Satellite A300 - pad touch dead after update BIOS 2.20

  Hello

  exact model is Satellite A300 PSAGCA-06M01N under Win XP.

  I had a problem with the webcam, and I read in the forum that it can be solved by a BIOS update. so, I advanced and downloaded the latest version of the BIOS on the site of toshiba, especially for my laptop model. It went quite well with no error.

  However when the computer restarts after that the BIOS updated my touchpad no longer works.
  I went to Device Manager and could still see the Synaptics touchpad device and it says "this device is functioning correctly. but its completely dead and will not respond with the 2 keys. before I updated the BIOS I never had any problems with it.

  I tried FN + F9, nothing helps. plugged in a USB mouse and it works without any problem. In fact, when I plugged in the mouse the synaptics software says "Deactivation of the key because of the external pointing device" for the device driver for the touchpad works.

  If I remove the mouse, it will say the touchpad is restored, but it still doesn't work. restarted several times and still the same problem. went into BIOS and chose "default" not still a no go.

  Can someone offer any advice or ideas please?
  I really need the touchpad for the way I use the laptop...

  Hello

  In many cases, the touchpad (pointing device) can be enabled and disabled in the BIOS.
  I think you should check if this option is available in BIOS and if so, check whether it should be enabled.

• Satellite A300 - 2C4 is dead

  Right then,

  I got this because he's dead. Operating system to disappear from the hdd and never worked again. I looked into it myself. I'm trying to install windows xp, windows 7 and the two
  Versions of Linux to try and make it work. A Linux worked once out of many trials, but ran very slowly
  But neither windows will work. Both freeze at the same point with the installation. Today won't even start, power connected and turned on the lights turn on but light hard drive and screen turns off. The hard drive light and screen came sometimes on but more often after turned on and off several times. I'm pretty sure that given the circumstances of the failure.

  And subsequent attempts to installation of operating system that the hard drive is dead, that his right?

  Thank you

  I think also that the HARD drive is troublemaker of disorders and the reason why you cannot install OS correctly so I agree with you 100%.
  Exchange the HARD disk with a new or another and test the installation of the OS. I recommend using Win7 on this machine. I also use it on my A300 and it works perfectly.

• Satellite M70 - LCD display is completely dead

  Hello

  I have SatelLite pro M70 PSM76E and I it has following problem
  When I try to turn on, LCD is completely dead. I have connected the CRT and it seems to start ok but when it goes to windows it freezes and restarts after a few seconds.
  I think this is not problem with OS because when I use the recovery CD and knoppix cd LCD screen is always black. Maybe that's the problem with the graphics card or motherboard.

  I do not have a manual to disassemble to clean my M70 inside.

  I would find myself solution before going to the service.

  All ideas,

  Concerning
  Wuwik

  If you get an image on the external monitor, but not on the internal, it sounds like a failure of inverter FL. It controls the backlight of the screen and must be replaced.

  I recommend you contact an ASP in your country. They can disassemble the laptop and exchange the part. I m sure they will help you.

• Satellite L50 - B - 14 M completely dead - no power not on

  Hi all

  I am now the proud owner of a Toshiba Satellite L50 B 14 M, since a few days it serves not on at all. When it is pressed the button at the top right (even for al longer) nothing happens, not even a little noise or a flash of light. He remains completely dead and will not turn on at all. Haven't tried with adapter connected / not connected / without battery still no change. The laptop was not abandoned or in a hurry or anything strange I just pressed the power button to continue working on it.

  Tips / advice is much appreciated! Best regards, Jan

  Hello

  It's really not easy to say what may be wrong with that. Unplug the AC adapter / CC, remove the battery and press the power button for about 20 seconds. After doing this leave for a while and connect the power supply only.

  DC in / battery indicator lit?
  What happens when you press the button walk / stop? Is there a reaction?

• Satellite Pro A120 is now completely dead

  I have a Pro A120, which has not been used for a few months, but is now completely dead.
  There are no lights on it at all. I bought a new power adapter, but still nothing.
  Can anyone suggest anything to check/replace or did it. It worked fine the last time I used it.

  Hello

  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Wait 1 hour or more and then reconnect the two parts.
  Then try again to power the unit.

  If that does not help, check out the RAM modules.
  Remove a module and test the device with a RAM module.

  If that does not help, then you should get in touch with a local computer technician laptop because he feels as a serious problem of material

  Hello

  Yesterday, I installed Win7 on my Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) and I'm very happy with it.
  You're right about the pilots, but it is not so difficult as you think. All things missing can be installed for Vista.

  Here is a brief overview of what I did to have perfectly working Win7:

  -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 fine, but some drivers are missing.
  So I added some Vista stuff:
  -toshiba assist - works
  -card reader - installed correctly
  -webcam driver for A500 (wanted to have the latest version) - tested with Skype - works
  -pilot of the Alps - all ok, but no additional options for touchpad

  I hope this will help you.
  If you have any other questions let me know.

• 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 A300-211 - 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 - 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 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

• 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

• Cannot create a recovery for my Satellite A300-1BZ CD

  I tried to use the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator repeatedly and with many different brands of discs to create the recovery disk.
  However each time as the laptop is about to finish burning the disc, there is an error and the operation not can be completed.

  I don't think there is a problem with the drive as I have used for many other things including watching movies without problem.
  Could Toshiba please send me a recovery disk instead?
  Thank you

  > Could Toshiba please send me a recovery disk instead?
  A mail recovery disk? Very interesting. Mailed 4 GB image is not so easy.

  I don't know what you're doing, but if you want good tip then use Verbatim or TDK DVD-R blank media. For the DVD-R.
  I have too many Satellite A300 and recovery DVD, I created successfully.
  Do you use DVD-R virgins too?
