• Satellite P300 - 156 Windows 7 Crash problem

  Hello
  I have the Toshiba Satellite P300 - 156 PSPC4E, model and I've had this laptop for a couple of years now.
  Before installing windows 7, I got the default Windows Vista installed and it worked fine.
  Now since installing windows 7, no matter WHAT game I try and play just causes the cell to go black screen and turn off after about 5-10 minutes of play.
  I thought that this was due to an overheating problem... so I opened the laptop and cleaned all that and then put it back together again.
  (YES I checked all the wires are back where they should be and all the components are working properly)
  It did not work.
  Then I tried updating all my drivers and software ect.
  Still nothing.
  I searched on through pages and pages of search results for the same problems with Windows 7 and the game crashing... but nobody seems to know how to fix it.
  I thought it was just windows 7, but I re installed windows vista and it's always done the same thing on there now.
  I tried to install all the drivers of the model for this laptop toshibas site and not luck.
  My windows vista and windows 7 are two authentic copies.

  All the hardware is functioning normally (as far as im aware) and I really don't see what can cause this problem.

  If someone could give me some advice on what to do it would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Which driver you use display? I m P300 owner but not on my A300, I had a similar problem that the laptop has crashed during a game. It seems that the reason was a 3rd party driver or let's say the driver of the manufacturing of the graphics chip directly. I think that because they are not prétestées on the cell and causing overheating

  So I recommend you to install the latest driver of display on the Toshiba site.

  Finally and above all what version of Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit), you have installed and what version of BIOS?
  From Toshiba Web site also shows the new BIOS versions and several versions 32 bit and 64 bit OS. Maybe you have to day/edit, who knows?

• Satellite P300-156 - and the button Return give the same values

  Hello

  I have a satellite P300-156, and it has a numeric keypad.
  I have problems because the Enter key and the Return key give the same values. I believe that it is incorrect.
  Can anyone help.

  Key on the numeric keypad should give an input it does.
  the Enter key on the main keyboard should give a carriage return value, but it gives an input value.

  Usually this does not cause a problem, but with software like photo shop that makes the distinction between a carriage return and a hard fall it does not work.

  Can someone help me please

  Thank you

  Hello

  To my eyes the entry and return keys are the same keys that provides the same functionality.
  I really put t know why you believe that there is something not right

  By the way; Check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS!

• Satellite P300-156 won't start or by MAIL

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P300-156 I bought a few months as damaged. The screen has been damaged and the case slightly cracked. I replaced the screen and hard drive and main card seems to have no physical damage. I've been running this system for 3 months now without any problem but, today, for some reason, it won't start or even POST. It powers on and the CPU fan starts to turn then stops and does nothing. No display (I tried external). CD player works. No beeps.

  I tried reinstalling RAM even open completely and reinstalling all connections, nothing done. Does anyone have an idea what component is gone? (CPU/GPU/RAM)

  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  Thank you

  Did you update the BIOS or something?
  For me, this is a normal behavior when the BIOS chip is faulty.

• Re: Satellite P300-156: keyboard freezes touch touchpad - mic is not w

  Hello

  I installed Windows 8 on my satellite P300-156 and now I have a big problem.
  My keyboard crashes when you touch the touch pad. In addition, the microphone does not work when the Windows Device Manager indicates that it is ok.

  There is no windows driver for this laptop 8...

  There are no drivers for the laptop because it isn't win 8 supported series.
  But even if there is no Win 8 drivers, the system should not freeze affecting the touchpad module.

  However, the Synaptics touchpad driver for Win 7 or 8 to win can be downloaded from Synaptics page.
  Recommend check it out!

• Sound on Satellite P300-156 problems

  I bought a Satellite P300-156 1 year, mainly because he looked good and had Dolby Sound Room. However, I discovered not long after the purchase that he had no Dolby installed - so I tried to download the new drivers on the Toshiba site. They worked and gave me the SmartAudio app to activate the Dolby Virtual Speaker and Headphone Dolby of Dolby Sound Room. -The volume varies, as someone who has a hold on the volume dial. Not only when songs get more coins, but even just when someone speaks.

  This is crazy - and very annoying - and disappointing given the speakers harmon/kardon give amazing clarity. 3 driver updates later - still the same problem. Heard about people with the new P500 have the same problem - please does anyone have a solution? I got the problem under Vista 32 bit and now the same thing under 7 64-bit. It's a Conexant driver.

  The problem does not occur under the headphones/external speakers.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  If I understand this problem, that happened after the driver installation, and after activating the Dolby Sound Room.

  In Control Panel-> Audio Smart-> Audio second tab management, you will find a few options.
  The mode clasic has been marked.

  Uncheck this box and go to the Multi flow modes and configure it.

  I m not very well what settings you need to enable or disable because I m not P300 owner, but you should play around with these options and try different settings.

• Satellite P300-161: alarm low and criticism not fire

  Hello.

  I just bought a Satellite P300-161 with Vista and every time alarm if there is only a pop-up notification at the low or critical level, you but no sound alarm. I checked the settings under "advanced power management" and "battery" and both have the value default to 'ON' for low and critical battery alarm.

  I also made sure there is a noise linked to these events under 'Hardware and sound', 'System sounds' and "low battery alarm" and a criticism.

  The default sounds are really sweet so I registered and chosen my sensors clean up but still no luck.

  I did a search on google and apparently several people had the same problem. In addition to suggest to both look like the above parameters, some have said that it is a general problem with Vista that will be fixed with service pack 1. I already service Pack1 so that does not solve it.

  The other thing that I found via google is that apparently Vista doesn't offer it through the message system, but makes it available for 3rd party software. It seems ridiculous that Toshiba withdrew its usefulness because of power management especially in Vista.

  I wouldn't mind an alarm from the BIOS, but looking at the settings, I couldn't find all the options. I can only note a pop up and if I play music or something, I have completely run out and the computer into hibernation which is really annoying.

  I would be grateful if anyone has any suggetions on how to solve the problem.

  Alfonso.

  Open the Volume mixer and make sure that Windows sound option is not set to mute.

• Satellite P300-156 and replacement battery

  Hello

  Can anyone tell me what battery should I buy? Everything he said for the P300-156 is that it is a lithium-ion battery, but there are many of them to choose from.
  Need to be at least the same quality as the original.

  Remove the old battery and check the part number. Use this part number and even order again. So you will have identical and compatible battery for your laptop.

• Satellite P300-156 - cannot install any OS

  Hello

  I had a P300-156 for a while.
  It was fine until recently, when the DHCP client stopped workin and wouldn't start.

  So I tried to restore from disk and had no dice with that try.
  So I tried to recover from HARD drive again once any chance the laptop keeps freezing after installation.

  So I tried to install Ubuntu on the laptop but still the same problem, said linux 'buffer I/O sdo error "?
  I'm not sure what in other words, it has however managed to wipe the entire drive.

  And I can not install XP because it does not find the HARD drive.

  The situation is so that I don't have any of the recovery methods and that you can not install another OS.

  Guys im really confused on the topic of what to do here, so if anyone can help please I need.

  Hi James

  I'm not sure if your HARD drive is dead or not, but you should know that your installation of Win XP does not recognize the HDD too if the SATA driver has not been included.
  The fact is that your P300 was equipped with the SATA HDD controller and the SATA driver is needed and if you want to install an operating system.

  The SATA driver is part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
  So if you want to install XP on your P300, you must first include the SATA drive in the XP installation CD.
  This can be done very easily using a free software called nLite.

  This Toshiba doc would be helpful for you because if describes step by step how to include a driver SATA;

  Check this box:

• Satellite P300-156 PSPC4E - stay white media LEDs on after power off

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite P series P300 156 (PSPC4E) which has just developed a problem

  When I turned off the laptop stops normally, start button / stop itself turns off, but the white Media 6 LED to the right of the power button remains constantly. The only way to get these themselves to turn off is to disconnect the battery.

  Can someone please advise

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I'm don't know if this will help, but try to set the BIOS to the default settings or try to disable the LED lighting in the BIOS settings.

  Play around with these settings.

• How can I remove optical drive of the Satellite P300-156?

  Hello

  I just ordered a HD-DVD-R (Toshiba SD-L902A) for my P300-156 drive, but I don't see how I can remove my existing laptop DVD - RW drive.

  Does anyone know how this can be done without opening the case?

  Hello

  To remove the CD/DVD drive, first remove the screws of this CURIOUS.
  The screw is hidden under the keyboard.
  Therefore, you will need to remove the keyboard first.
  The keyboard is fixed with 2 screws. These screws are hidden beneath the thin plastic (door-KB)
  First, you must remove this support KB to get access to these two screws.
  After you remove the keyboard, you will find a screw that holds the ODD. Remove it and disconnecting an optical disc drive to the connector on the system board.

  But note; Be careful and all you are doing is at your own risk AND PERIL!

• Satellite P300-156 - driver detected on \Device\Ide\IdePort1 controller error

  Hello

  I have recently installed a secondary hard drive in my P300-156 and am having some problems with it. I get 11 event IDS in the event log system "the driver detected a controller on \Device\Ide\IdePort1. error" and suffer with very poor performance with this player.

  The drive is new and works fine in other systems and even works ok if I swap bays my P300-156, but the problem with this is that the drive does not fit in the other Bay, as it is quite thick. The player in question is a Samsung HM100UI 1 TB 2.5 "Sata. I also tried other readers in this Bay, and they work well too.

  I am using windows 7 ultimate and the Intel chipset drivers. It's an Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI controller, the 7.0.0.1013 driver version. Have tried different drivers and the AHCI/IDE mode. Also tried a new installation and the problem persists.

  Am at a loss why this disc problems is there anything else someone can suggest to try?

  Thanks in advance.

  > I also tried other readers in this Bay, and they work well too.

  This means that you had problems with the other drives in the second span?
  If Yes, then I guess some problem of compatibility between the P300 and the HARD drive

• Satellite P300-156: CD/DVD player has stopped working

  Hi people,

  I have a P300-156 and since I bought it, I had a problem with the DVD recorder... ok I know I should take that back!

  Sometimes when I press the eject button, that nothing is happening outside the orange light flashes and continues to blink. When this happens that I lose the drive in my computer and the only way to make it work again is to restart the laptop.

  Usually, it works when I reboot then stops working, but it doesn't also sometimes from the restart.

  Someone at - it ideas.

  Thank you

  Hello!

  Have you looked on the Toshiba site for an update of the firmware? Search on the Toshiba site for an update, maybe this will solve your problem.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  However, I think it could also be a hardware problem that your drive is defective. Then I'd go to a local ASP. A technician can check your laptop.
