Re: Satellite Pro L300-1BA Motherboard

What is the motherboard Chipset of this model?
What is the max RAM: 2 GB or 4 GB?
Can I switch from the current Duo Core T3200 processor to a Core 2 Duo? If so, are there changes in the BIOS to do and which is the most appropriate Core 2 Duo processor?

Hello

I found the info to follow up on your laptop model:

Chipset - Mobile Intel GL40 Express Chipset
Processor: processor Intel (r) Pentium (r) Dual Core T3200
Max RAM capacity 4 GB

Compatible RAM modules:
2 GB DDR2-667 MHz - PA3513U-1M2G

  • Satellite Pro L300 does not illuminate

    Hi all, I'm new to this forum.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 and I've had it for about 2 years.
    But yesterday I closed the laptop as usual. But later I went back to it and tried to turn it on. But it does not work. Instead, when I press the power button the LED next to the battery symbol flashes orange/orange 6 times and then turns off.

    Can someone tell me what it is? I tried to let it load, but that has not worked. The amber light is the only light that flashes. It does not recognize that I plugged in the charger and I don't think that the battery was flat. So I'm angry and helpless right now.

    Can someone help me please?

    See you soon.

    Hello

    There are several indicators;
    DC, while running, the main battery, LED HDD/ODD.
    So I guess the power LED flashes in orange. Right?
    This means that something was wrong on the motherboard.
    Maybe power supply electronic malfunctions

    In this case, there is no much to do only mobo replacement could help to...

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start

    I have a portable Satellite Pro L300 and he won't start (in other words the power button and not going not past the first screen).

    Works for keyboard, but F2, F8 or F12 will not do anything, I can't here the disk hard powerup but it's like no one is at home. I don't know if it's the motherboard or the onboard battery. The computer is about 7-8 years

    Can anyone help.

    It s certainly nothing wrong with a RTC battery (as you said internal battery).
    The RTC battery can be charged. The unit must be turned on and adapter must be connected at least for about 18 hours.
    But I guess that this isn't a problem.

    The laptop does not start because of a hardware malfunction, but it's hard to say what role may be affected. But you should absolutely consult the RAM modules.
    This should be the first step, since the RAM modules are easy to replace.

    All other parts should be checked by the type of service.

  • Satellite Pro L300-1AQ only to charge the battery while the phone is in use

    I have a Toshiba SP L300-1AQ.

    In the last month we started having problems with it quit unexpectedly, even on power outlet.
    This morning I used it for about a half hour. When I started the battery level was 39% full, so I plugged it into the outlet. The fire area on the front of the laptop came and taskbar in Windows icon showed it was plugged and load (battery light was orange).

    After half an hour, I checked the battery and it was down to 16%. I turned down the brightness of the screen to try to reduce energy consumption, but less than a minute at the level of the battery was down to 15%. The toolbar icon and power lights both still power showing tasks. The power adapter was cold to the touch. I expect that it is hot. It seems to me that the power adapter does not provide enough power to run the laptop and recharge the battery. If the laptop is in sleep mode, the battery may charge.

    We need a new power adapter?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's really hard to say what the reason is but first of all, I think its hardware problem and not software related.
    Maybe the card mother doesn t charge battery problem more or the AC/DC adapter is defective. So can you test another adapter AC/DC to a friend for example? It would be interesting to know because if an AC/DC adapter works it seems to be a problem with the motherboard.

    I don t have Satellite Pro L300, I only Satellite L300 but it works really well and I can t notice a problem with the battery charging. It s all ok again :)

  • Plug loose in Satellite Pro L300

    Satellite Pro L300.
    The power supply plug "toggle" in this position.
    It does not take much more.

    Computer never abused. My use only. 2.5 years. 5th PC toshiba laptop.
    Could not find anything to let me know how difficult a fix that would be.

    Sometimes, it does not record as being "plugged in" and back to the battery.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    Generally, it depends on the type of motherboard.
    In most cases, the power supply is a part of the card mother and soldered on the motherboard.
    But I've seen many boards of directors where the power plug was diving, can be deleted.

    However, the problem is that the portable whole you must remove to access the motherboard and in the seizure of power, and it's really delicate and crazy, hard work.

    I think that except the small problem with the power supply plug, the laptop is ok and I think you should ask a technician for laptop in order to solve this problem
    I don t recommend disassemble the laptop to hand clean because it s not worth risking damage to the motherboard, you know
    I have to pay a small fee to get the laptop repaired...

  • Satellite Pro L300 - may not always connect to the same strong connection router

    I currently have a Satellite Pro L300-155. At work, the WIFI signal is strong everywhere where I am in the building because we have 2 WIFI connections. However, I can connect okay in 1 room but if I just go in the other room, I'm unable to connect - and the connection is still strong. This also happens intermittently at home.
    Is it of diagnostics that I can run on the Toshiba to test wifi?

    Where can I find what chip it is? Where is the wifi location - on a motherboard, etc?
    Can it be replaced and where I could quote from?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi cooky44,

    In my opinion, you should update the routers firmware and update your WLAN driver.

    Furthermore, I have created an interesting document on improvements to WLAN connection:

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start - cannot get into the BIOS

    Dear,

    I got a satellite Pro L300, width a HARD drive partitioned, with Win XP installed C and D with Windows 7 installed, the problem is the following:

    Days when I turned on my laptop, the OS splash screen appears, stop boot on Toshiba logo process.
    In addition, I can't enter the BIOS with the F2 key or the Boot Manager by using the F12 key.

    Help, please.

    > stop boot on Toshiba logo process
    This means that the laptop can not pass the POST (power on self test) properly and it would mean that a hardware problem has been detected on the motherboard.

    Remove one of the modules RAM (check both) and try to turn on using a single module of RAM.
    It is possible that one of the RAM modules is defective

    It would also be possible that the motherboard is malfunctioning, as you can see, it is hard to say what role could be wrong, but what looks like a serious hardware failure

  • Satellite Pro L300-152 lose the power connector - how to disassemble it?

    I have a Satellite Pro L300 - 152 unit, which is out of warranty.
    I have a bad power connector, it has been pushed back and be dislodged from his seat or brocken cradel is within the computer.

    I am trying to remove the back to see if the power connector can be repaired or remains in its cradle.
    I removed all the screws and all devices, but can not get it off the computer.

    There seems to be something with the keyboard, which I took.

    Can you help me?

    To fix the power connector the whole notebook must be disassembled and you must have access to the motherboard. Disassembly procedure is not complicated if you have maintenance manuals and instructions.
    To have full access to the motherboard, you must remove all the screws from the underside and also all the screws under the keyboard. You will then be able to separate the notebooks and disassemble the upper.

    Tell me exactly what you have removed so far?

  • Satellite Pro L300 - USB card reader does not support the 64 GB

    HI I have a Satellite Pro L300 under Win XP that I want to attach a USB card reader. I find that I can not read the 64 GB cards. The error is that the card is not formatted. All other cards read correctly. I can place this card reader in my desktop running Win 10 and it works correctly and reads the 64 GB cards. This seems to indicate that the USB card reader works properly, and perhaps that the problem lies in the USB on the Toshiba drivers. Has anyone else had this problem and found a fix for this. I've just updated the BIOS but no improvement. Thank you

  • Satellite Pro L300 keeps closing

    I have a series of satellite Pro L300 running Windows Vista Business and have problems with him closing by itself without known reason, then it restarts only sometimes.

    The startup repair does nothing.

    Hello

    I think it might be related to high temperatures.

    Have you noticed a hot air coming from vents?

    Usually the laptop stops automatically to avoid that the pieces of equipment against damage.

    So you need to check if the vents are clogged with dust and debris in most cases you can remove it using a jet of compressed air.

  • Problem with satellite Pro L300 Ethernet controller

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A - 02L 001). Have'nt after being on the dial for the year last I was wireless (it worked well before that) but am now back on broadband but I don't seem to have any wireless.
    Checked the Device Manager and there is a yellow exclamation next to the ethernet controller and it seems there is no pilot, but apart from that, there is no further details. I tried to update the driver but it cannot find the driver on my computer and it will not search the Internet for this.

    I tried, but none of the drivers I downloaded seems to work...
    At the back of the computer laptop is a sticker - PA3613U-1MPC, I think it's the wifi card that is missing the driver but I can't find a driver for it for the life of me...

    Any help would be wonderful.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L300 - screen resolution maximum?

    I just bought an external monitor for my L300. The screen resolution is 1920 x 1080, but the maximum available on my L300 is 1280 x 800. The utility Service Station tells me that all my drivers are up to date - is there a way I can increase the graphics resolution? Any suggestions much appreciated!

    Details: Running Windows 7 Pro SP1 on a satellite Pro L300 PSLB9A - 02K 002

    Hi PeterSouthon,

    Need to unlock the other screen resolutions. Simply uncheck the option Hide modes that this monitor cannot display as you can see on [THIS | http://blog.wildvista.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Lightroom_hide_modes-340x400.png] photo.

    After unchecking this box, you should be able to use the native screen resolution of your external display.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - cursor black screen flashing

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro L300 Vista.

    The customer earned him in because when it starts it goes to home Toshiba screen then goes to a black screen with cursor flashing at the top left. I connected external monitor with the same result. Swapped RAM as well.

    Have run Memtest (spent), Seagate HDD long test (past), Ultimate boot CD and Winternals without success.
    * F8 does not work * and no more than the resumption of the plant.

    Can enter the BIOS F2 and F12 no problems and the HARD drive is listed.

    I reinstalled Vista on CD and on reboot it goes back to blinking cursor. I tried booting from the Vista CD repair and system restore. FixBoot commands and FixMbr prompt as well as with the same result.
    I feel that it may be a corrupt CMOS sensor? It's like the OS installs correctly, but the computer loses his memory on reboot where the operating system?

    Is the battery CMOS easily accessible and removable on this model?

    Has anyone experienced these symptoms? Is - fixable at lower cost?

    Hello

    If you have clients, I guess you're a technician and hope you have a few pieces of equipment in your store.
    Have you tried to set the BIOS to default settings and check again?
    If possible try to exchange the HARD drive and test the functionality again.
    You can use laptop with Linux live CD (HARD drive not required)?

    To be honest that I think n problem t is ORGANIC and, in my opinion, the exchange of the CMOS battery is not necessary.

    Please test it with the new HARD drive and post comments.

    Has anyone tried this and it worked great.
    I didn't wan't to recharge the battery just to be able to run the laptop for more than the battery allows.

  • Satellite Pro L300 upgraded to Win8 but I would like to update the drivers

    I have upgraded to Windows 8, but I found the Wifi adapter needs to be reset frequently (it seems to be without a cause) - Troubleshooting Windows 8 solves it by resetting the adapter, but I thought there will be a fix for this?

    When I tried to update the drivers I found that the L300 is not (in the not extensible or expandable lists)-is the L300 compatible in this respect by another model? Or can you suggest how to update all the drivers of Toshiba for this model.

    Thank you

    Your Satellite Pro is the model of laptop old enough and not supported for Win8.
    It is difficult to find drivers for the notebook not supported models and old.

    Problem is that if you make the decision to do so anyway you are on your own and can be all just lucky if everything works properly.
    > is the L300 compatible in this respect by another model?
    It is not easy to give you the right answer. What needs to be done is to compare each hardware component important as chipset, GPU, chip sound, LAN/WLAN with other models and see if some Win8 drivers are available. It is not so easy.

    For example: Toshiba Satellite pro L300 offers 4 different hardware platforms. One you have? What is the model number of your machine?
