Re: Satellite L300 - 20 d - watch one is still very pale

I've never used a latop OR Vista before, but I bought it two weeks ago and I am very happy with it, except that I consult at each site pale although tobe used.

I explored all the features of the color, but no matter what I do is always very pale.

Is this feature that I'll have to get used to?

All advice welcome...

Thank you.

Hey Buddy

> I have never used a front OR Vista laptop...

The laptop came with a common 15.4 '' WIDE XGA LCD screen.
You said it's your first laptop and I think you used a CRT monitor in the past...
Well my friend, is that you will always encounter a difference comparing the CRT monitor and display LCD.
External CRT monitor technology is just different and that's why you will notice some differences in color, brightness and sharpness.

In my case, it was the same thing... I used a CRT screen several years ago and after that I went to laptop I noticed many differences between views... but now it's not a problem and after a long period of use, I don't want to go back for CRT screens...

See you soon

    Hello

    I have a problem.
    I can't watch movies in my Satellite L300 to my cable TV.

    Hello

    I don't know how you connected the laptop to TV, but generally you may connect the TV to the laptop using an HDMI cable or an s-video cable.
    Of course, this is only possible if one of these ports is supported by the laptop.

    Then, you must use the FN + F5 key combination to switch to the external video output.

  • Satellite L300 - 11 M and hardware upgrade

    Hi all.

    I have Toshiba Satellite L300 - 11M, but my video card is very slow and I can't play games well. So, I want to upgrade trought purchase new video card. But I do not know my laptopl support AGP or PCI connector only? So what is the best video card in N-VIDIA who support?

    Please help me. Thank you.

    To be honest, I doubt that such external graphics card would be really useful.
    According to this article, you can connect it to a USB port and in my opinion the USB 2.0 speed is not good enough to transmit a huge amount of data that accumulate through a game
    However, I've never tested it so I can't give details.

    SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLIHS

    Hello

    In General, upgrading CPU on mobile computers is not supported. Toshiba has a very useful document and you can find it here.
    A more powerful processor means more heat and it can be risky for the material. Each laptop model has certain designed cooling system to maintain the optimal material temperature and protect from overheating. Because of all these aspects CPU upgrade could be quite risky.

    A long time ago I ve tested upgrade CPU on my old model P300. Believe me I didn t notice a performance boost. Not at all. Later I ve passed RAM to max level and exchanged the SSD HARD drive.
    It was the right decision and these updates is supported and without any risk.

    Satellite L300 is a quite old but still good machine for daily activity. My advice for you is to upgrade RAM and use SSDS. Of course install Win7 32 bit and, believe me, your machine will be very fast and you really happy with it.

  • Question about the Satellite L300 to TV connection

    Hi everyone, first of all this is my first post.

    Also I'm a bit geek o when it comes to computers etc., I can use one but im not a wizz tech kid as well as use of base of an im afraid.

    I have a Satellite L300 laptop.

    My question is, my laptop has no HDMI port, but it has a VGA port.
    I have a digital TV with many ports Inc. USB, VGA, HDMI etc.

    I am downloading movies and burn them on dvd, but it's very tedious, so I wonder if I connect the laptop to the tv to use the TV as a monitor screen? so, I can either watch the dvd on the tv, and gold to direct flows to the laptop and then on television.

    I connected a vga cable for the necessary ports between the TV and the pc, and although television confirms that a pc is connected, there is only a white screen? so I guess I can't connect in this way.

    It is not possible to connect using the usb ports? or of other ideas like if I may or may not connect to this laptop?

    Kind regards

    Bob

    Hi Bob

    What laptop has no HDMI port this is a bit complicated. In General, you should be able to use your TV as external monitor. When you connect your laptop with VGA cable to your TV and turn on this port to the TV use the FN + F5 key combination and desktop to TV switch.

    If your TV is correctly detected when you use FN + F5, you should see several options. Problem is that the VGA connection is for video only and you will not hear on your TV. You can transfer the sound, but you must separate the wires and connect the headphone jack of your laptop and openings of his TV or even receiver Hi-Fi if you a.

    It's a little complicated.

  • Satellite L300 - boring loading problems

    Hello world.

    I've got my Satellite L300 nice for about 23 months now, and I absolutely love it.
    There is just one problem: my PC is not loading properly. There are always about a 1/50
    lucky, I have to play with the inputs and output for all 5-10 minutes each
    I plug it in time. I had this problem before (about two months ago) where I sent it
    Back to the store and they fixed. I was able to pick up there is still almost a month
    and everything worked properly again.

    It's really, really frustrating and I hope there is a solution simple sorta.
    Anyone who is familiar with this problem and to know what exactly is the problem?

    Thank you in advance.

    This kind of technical problems, there is no simple solution.
    If you have a serious issue with load problem, it is probably related to electronic power supply and it must be checked by authorized personnel only.

    Tell me but honestly: what can you fix these problems?

    Hello

    > Don't want to reinstall if not necessary.
    I m not very well why the software doesn't work anymore, but I think that it s advisable to reinstall.
    You must first remove the old software (reader Toshiba).
    Then you need to download the most recent version of the page of the European driver Toshiba DVD player and needs to be reinstalled it.

  • Satellite L300 - plugged, but not charging

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite L300 under Win 7 32 bit
    It does not load, so when the AC is removed it will stop.

    I tried the power cycle - unplug everything, hold the power button for 30 seconds.
    The contacts are clean on the s battery connections and I uninstalled via the control panel and scanned as new hardware.

    I checked all of the web, but nothing helped, please could you help?
    Don t want to buy a new battery for no reason

    Thanks Pindy92

    > Don t want to buy a new battery for no reason

    Well, in this case, you should visit one of the points of service and need to check the laptop with a new battery.
    If it s battery not deliver, then I guess that the problem is related to problems of motherboard, so that would be the worst case

    By the way: you are using the latest version of the BIOS on this laptop? Make sure that the latest version of the BIOS is installed. But if the BIOS is up to date, then a new battery should be tested.

  • Satellite L300 - clean install Win 7 SP1 64 bit

    I just did a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit, replacing the normal 32-bit Vista that comes with the laptop.

    The facility has been good, but I have a few questions about the following:

    I adjusted the automatic run settings to ask every time for all selections. The problem is that when the game DVD in WMP or VLC disk reads but is noisy. It is very good for the s CD without excessive noise. The acoustic silencer on the download site is for 32-bit, but can be used in this laptop. In the original Vista there is no noise at all, so I wonder if there is other parameters that can sort this point, otherwise I'll have to keep changing things manually with the acoustic silencer.

    I noticed a very low noise coming from laptop (like a lighter version of a business when you're boarding Jet it). I ran a video memory Stress Test CE and he showed a few errors. If I reduce the brightness of the screen there is less noise so I wonder if it's something to do with the Panel of inverter of screen I'm sure that's not the HARD drive or the cooling fan, but it could be something on the motherboard.

    On the backup plan Acronis will slow down my system or are Win 7 OK backup options?

    Thanks a lot for all the possible solutions to these problems.

    A long time ago I've installed Win7 32 bit on friends Satellite L300. It worked perfectly. Much better than original Vista.
    > I still don't know what is the best test for the screen.
    I put t understand what kind of test do you mean. I hope that you have installed the right display driver and LCD works perfectly with a native resolution.

    Win7 recovery with Acronis image creation is, generally, the right decision. With this disc, you can install Win7 again and again very rapidly and you should not install every single driver separately.

    If you want to keep this laptop any longer I think it is worth to buy it. One last thing: you will buy it once and you can use it in the future too if you decide to buy the new laptop or PC.

  • [SOLVED] Satellite L300 wireless dead, suddenly stop, then won't power ON

    Well, actually, that this post is NOT a question that I already found the solution, but it took me much time searching through forums (and in fact I had not found response), so I decided to post it here to help someone in the same situation later.

    Ok.. I'm all new Satellite L300 laptop a week ago, which runs under WinXP SP2. First five days, everything was OK, but then I confronted the following symptoms:

    -Material Wi - fi could disappear suddenly. After the restart, winXP found the map of wireless as a new device, but could not accept pilots (who has worked on OK again a few hours before).
    -Notebook could stop 'tough' at any time and it is not in the CPU load. After that I could not turn on again than by pressing the power button only turned on CPU cooler. I had to wait for at least 30 min power turn on the laptop again.

    So, I started to search the forums, and as a result, I was sure the reason was overheating of the CPU to 115.337%. It was strange for me that I could not find similar reports for satellite L300 on the web and even all dust cpu overheating reports for other models Toshiba II found - they all have been written on popular laptops, but I got mine just a week ago.

    Since I didn't bring my laptop to the local service center and leave it there for a long time - I decided to locate the problem myself as much as I can and I finally found the reason:

    * He was one of the two Samsung modules of 1 GB of RAM installed in notebook.*

    As I removed a suspect (2nd) - all symptoms have disappeared. As I removed another installed back suspicious as 1st - I even haven't been able to turn on the laptop. So, I deleted completely suspicious module and now I had no problem with laptop computers running more than 2 days (except the performance decreased due to the loss of memory of 50%).

    Hope this is helpful to someone who has a similar problem whose symptoms may resemble the overheating of the CPU.

    Really great job and a very nice display!

    I have a Satellite L300 too but never had any problems with it. I'll put this in my favorites because it s very useful for people who have this problem.
