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!

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 L300-291 - how to get the work of resolution 1920 x 1080?

    Hello

    Really bad, my old PC and laptop can connect to my external monitor to 1920 by 1080, which is the native resolution of the screen, even made my Xbox 360. But won't my Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-291, it tops out at 1680 by 1050 and will not display anything higher. I tried the latest drivers without success. What is a physical limitation on the laptop?

    Thank you

    Mark

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with the user above:
    -Check the user manual and
    -Check out the features of your graphics card

    Then you will find information which screen resolutions are supported and not. In addition, don t compare it with other laptops or devices. Not all laptops are the same, there are different hardware, etc.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro L300 PSLB1E - black screen / no display

    Hello

    hope someone can point me in the right direction. I just bought a re-conditioned by Satellite Pro L300 Model PSLB1E of Dabs.com.
    He worked for about 20 minutes and then I got a blue screen error (I think that I just tried to open Windows Media Player when this happened).
    Sorry, but I didn't note down the error however seem to recall he mentioned win30.dll?

    Now, when I turn on the laptop I can hear things fan etc but there is no display on the screen.
    I don't know what to do and I have no warranty documentation.
    Suggestions this is appreciated please.

    Are you able to start, any bootable disks, Win XP, Win Vista, Linux live CD, etc.

    Please check this!

    But if you will not be able to boot from these disks, then you must contact the ASP (authorized service provider) in your country, because this problem looks a little more hardware related problem.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro L300-1FN does not start - hang at the BIOS splash screen

    My Satellite Pro L300-1FN refuses to start. When turned on the laptop displays the home screen toshiba/insyde H20 BIOS and the message "press F2 go to the Setup utility, F12 to go to the start menu" and flashes the light access to the hard drive, but don't try to continue loading. I left the bios at the start screen, but it doesn't do anything for long hours on a power supply or is running the battery flat while on battery.

    Is there a way to re - put the BIOS on this unit? If it's a desktop unit I would remove the CMOS battery to force a reset of the BIOS but that's impossible on a laptop. The hard drive is fine because I have it plugged into another system to remove valuable data.

    Hello

    What happens if you press F2 when starting the laptop to the top?
    You can access the BIOS?
    If so, access the BIOS and set its default value. I think you need to press F9 or F10 to get default parameters, but this will be mentioned at the bottom of the page of the BIOS.

    Check it!

  • How can I fix the screen on Satellite Pro L300?

    How can I fix my screen Satellite Pro L300? I went by mistake about it.
    Although there seems to be nothing wrong with the external armor but there seems to be a few lines on the screen.

    The glass is cracked? You see the flow of liquid crystals when you move the screen?

    If the lines are perfectly horizontal or vertical, and then the glass behind the protective plastic surface is cracked, requiring a replacement LCD.

  • Satellite Pro L300 1AI LCD screen backlight not working not

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite Pro L300 1AI running Windows Vista the computer starts and works fine but the backlight on the screen doesn't seem to work.

    Y at - it none of the Vista settings that can affect this (other than the Fn key command on the keyboard and settings) in Control Panel? Strangely, it seems to have happened since I installed Skype but I don't see how this could possibly affect it.

    Any help is much appreciated...

    Hello

    What s wrong exactly? Brightness screen laptop s is too low?
    Everything you see on the screen as behind a thick fog?

    Well, usually the FL Inverter control the backlight of the screen and if the FL inverter starts to malfunction, so you would get the problem like this.

    There is no alternative to replace this inverter FL.
    It s a small part behind the frame of the screen I think that it s a job for a technician in ASP.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - 29 c very dark display

    Hello

    The display on my Satellite Pro L300 - 29 c is very, very dark. It's dark, both during POST / in the BIOS and configuration once Windows loads. The brightness of the screen (Fn + F7) is set to the maximum. If I plug in an external display, which works perfectly. I can say that this model is not a physical wheel or something similar that controls the brightness of the screen.

    Should I have a hardware failure? Is this something fixable by the user?

    Thanks in advance.

    I can't say for sure, but I think FL inverter is faulty (backlight) and it should be replaced.
    The FL Inverter control the backlight. It is important that FL Inverter are not too expensive part.
    I take in a Toshiba certified maintainer and ask for help.

  • Satellite Pro L300 shows ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode Driver error

    I have a Satellite Pro L300 with Windows Vista and it has been fickle to say the least, making me restart the system several times.
    The last two times she since continued to come up with an error message saying "cannot open ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode Driver", and I understand that it is perhaps what is originally that there problems later.

    I tried updating the BIOS, reinstall the drivers and, seeking answers and, of course, reinstall the whole system, but I still get this message every time I turn on my laptop and I really don't want that it gives me the blue screen of death again - please help me!

    Thank you.

    Stand by.

    You ve done clean install of Vista with initial recovery DVDs and you get this error in any case (no additional software is installed)?

  • Satellite Pro L300-1AF fails to start

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-1AF that won't start, it stopped working a few weeks ago and I tried startup repair and things, and nothing seemed to work just kept loading a black screen with a cursor but nothing else. After a little more research, I found out how to restore to factory settings holding the 0 key etc. when I tried this he got 54% then the screen everything went black and now it used to boot. It happens with just:

    -Unable to start windows. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

    file:\Windows\system32\winload.exe
    status: 0xc000000e
    Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

    He also says to insert your installation disc, but I have not one when I bought it.

    -What this means and how can I solve this problem? I tried the factory restore and just make it even worse.

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated

    Hello
    > He also says to insert your installation disc, but I have not one when I bought it.
    That's your first problem. This model laptop was delivered without disc recovery but the preinstalled software that allows you to create a recovery media. All this is clearly described in the document s user manuals.
    Now, your original Vista operating system has disappeared. On this path virtual I can't say with certainty what the problem is, but somehow, I think the HARD drive's troublemaker.

    What to do now? First you need the Windows installation for the installation of the OS disc. Original Vista may not be used more so my advice to you is to get the Win7 32 bit install disc and try to install it on your machine. Win7 is entirely compatible, so there is no problem to install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities.

    By default the BIOS settings and try to install Win7. If the same problem recurs and Setup will stop I m afraid HARD drive is defective. If possible, try to get another HDD for testing purposes.

    You know you have to play a bit with your machine now and find out what the problem is.

  • 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 - second defective memory Slot?

    Hi, I'm trying to install 4 GB of memory in a laptop Satellite Pro L300. This kind of thing, I did a thousand times before.

    However, every time I install a module of memory in the second memory slot, the laptop will be a blue screen when windows is loaded. Even running memtest (via bootable cd) will result in a block, so it is not for lack of Windows.

    I have the latest version of the BIOS installed (1.50)

    Each module of memory works perfectly in the main location on its own.

    With the help of a single module of memory in the memory secondary slot (even the original 1 GB module) translates the laptop does not even start.

    Is this a known issue? Or is it just a second faulty slot?

    Thank you very much!

    Maybe it's a non compatible memory module.

    What model of laptop you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
    What extra RAM you bought?
    Have you checked the compatibility?

    To be honest on this forum you will find many forums where people have described the same problem after upgrade. Most of these problems described was linked to the use of markets and not compatible good RAM modules.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - Display works only on the external monitor

    I received my new Satellite Pro L300 tonight & followed the instructions one by one. Although the power etc. lights were turned on, I had no monitor display at all. I then plugged on my old pc monitor who * fact * work. I tried pressing Fn + F5 but still nothing on the screen of the laptop?

    Thank you, Adam.

    I think you need to bring your laptop to an ASP. They can check your laptop and exchange all necessary parts.
    I think that your laptop is under warranty, if the repair is free for you :)

    On the Toshiba site, you can search an ASP:
