  Hello

  Satellite A300-1EB belongs to the series of PSAG0E.
  So please first select the right laptop series until you start to download the XP drivers.

  After choosing the right laptop model, you need to reinstall the XP drivers.

  The common Module and Hotkey Utility are required to achieve the FN keys work.
  The common Modules must be installed first.

  For the multimedia buttons works, you need to install the controls.
  I didn t it find in the PSAG0E series, but in other series like PSAGCE A300. So check it out!

  Good bye

  By the way: SP3 may cause some compatibility issues... then you should first remove all!

  I own a laptop Satellite A300 - 1 M 1

  He reads some DVD, windows media player or VLC, but fails to read CDs and many DVDs

  The drive is recognized in Windows Vista. I updated the drives and rebooted. Then removed from devide Manager and rebooted. The removal of the UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry and restarted it again.

  The problem is it exactly even. I can read a DVD (DVD movie) but not a CD (with data). I can read both disks on a different laptop.
  When I insert the DVD, the disc spins and in few seconds it appears in windows Explorer and can be played with Windows Media Player or VLC, for example. When I insert a CD with the data, CD towers, there is slippage noises, at different speeds. The mouse cursor changes briefly shhowing a disc below it, the orange light flashes, but after some 40 seconds or so only a message appears "Please insert a readable disc. Needless to say, I tried several different CD. Only DVD movie I managed to read on the player.

  The drive is listed on the device as a Manager:
  HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA - T50N

  The CMN Satellite A300 - 1 M 1 are:
  Intel CoreDuo P8400 2.26 GHz
  4 GB OF RAM
  I'm using Windows Vista (as it was installed on this laptop)

  What can I do to fix this?

  Hello

  I think that there is not much to buddy
  I think that it s a CD/DVD drive problem
  There might be something wrong with the lens of laser disk or disks are not totally compatible

  You could try burning the disks on another computer and could attempt to read copied discs

  Otherwise you will need a new CD/DVD drive

• Satellite A300 PSAJ4E - black startup screen from SATA HDD

  Hello

  I have a problem with my A300: when I try to reboot from the disk sata hard I only see black screen...

  If I try to boot from ide/atapi CD/DVD-RW with XP (F12 to select the cd player) installation cd, Ubuntu live cd, boot any cd that it does not start and I see still black screen. The hard drive is seen correctly by the BIOS, can I read/write data to this topic with an external sata-usb cable and it can also boot from a different usb port on the laptop!

  If the disk sata hard precipitates the A300 can regularly starts without a problem since CD/DVD-RW!

  I also try to put the disk sata hard in the second span, but without result, the 2nd hard drive is inserted into the excluded boot device. Can someone help me?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  > If the disk sata hard precipitates the A300 can regularly start without problem since CD/DVD-RW!

  Have you changed the HARD drive or the CD/DVD drive in the past?
  As far as I know not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different settings master/slave/c-selc.
  If using bad CD/DVD player could cause this issue

  In addition, it could also be a problem of the motherboard controller.
  But try to set the BIOS to the default settings. To access the BIOS and then press F9 (I guess). Save changes and check again.

• Satellite A300-17N where is the reset button

  Hello

  I have laptop toshiba A300 17N but, I can't find the reset button on it? :) if anyone knows... Please help me...:)

  Thank you..

  Afraid to tell you, but you will not find any reset button, because there is only a power button. You will need to restart your laptop by using the windows or hold down the power button to turn it off completely and start it again.

  Maybe you could try the old combination of CTRL + ALT + DELETE to restart your system.

• 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.

• Re: Satellite A300-1GN - required XP for a long time to start

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A300-1GN.
  I reinstalled from Vista to XP Home.
  After you have installed all the drivers from my system starts more than 4 minutes. I'm on SATA (no AHCI) compatibility mode.
  You have the same problem?

  I can't go because I have the blue screen to AHCI.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  If you have disabled the SATA feature then the HARD drive and the entire operating system can not be used with better performance and this could be the reason why the laptop needs a little more to start.

  But the problem is that if you allow the AHCI in the BIOS, then your operating system would not start and you need to reinstall new OS using the SATA drivers.

  Another reason why Notepad starts slowly could be a large amount of running system process in the context of the BONE.

  Factors that could affect the start-up procedure
