• Satellite A300-16I: how to set up six buttons next to the switch ON / OFF?

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite A300-16I.
  My problem with these media keys near the keys ON / OFF, it is that they always start Windows Media Player.
  And because I rarely use this program I would set up, so that it would start Winamp.

  If anyone has any idea how it's dan I would really appreciate to hear from you.

  Hello

  I think that's not possible.
  On my Toshiba laptop control buttons are preconfigured and the settings cannot be changed.

  I presume that it of the case even on your laptop.

  What OS came preinstalled on your A300?

  If you are using Windows XP, then you can view the tool called; Toshiba controls
  It s in the control panel.

  Here you can configure the buttons; CD/DVD and lighting On / OFF

• No Satellite A300 - 16I Conexant soundcard no hardware buffering?

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Satellite A300-16I (PSAJ4E). I downgraded from Windows Vista to Windows XP Pro and installed all the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba driver for Win XP for this model.

  Everything works fine, except the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 sound card can be run in software mode, according to a test of DirectX. It is said that it can not access the material buffer.
  Now all Windows system seems to sound like they are read at a sample rate different (about 1 semitone lower) they should sound.
  Also, when I play music on the built-in harman/kardon speakers, the sound has cracks and jumps into it and you can hear the speakers of the difficulty to play.

  As I remember, the sound was much better with the Vista driver when this OS was still installed.

  I tried a lot of things. Installed different versions of the sound driver from different sites, no luck.
  I'm running SP3, and I noticed a patch of Windows (KB888111) for SP2 that installs the Bus High Definition Audio. So I uninstalled SP3 and tried the hotfix, no luck.
  Also let Windows install the driver itself did not work, and there is no update driver on Windows Update.

  Any help is appreciated :)

  Kind regards

  Mano

  Sorry, but I want to clarify something. What you hear with * the sound was much better with the Vista driver when this OS was installed yet *? Much better? Do you mean the sound was good or what?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > ive tried 4 different vista disks that work fine on other computers, as I have tried

  It looks like something wrong with the hard drive. I recommend you format the hard disk with programs like Partition magic, Disk Manager Arcoins. You should make a disk bootable cd and boot from it to format the hard drive before installing Vista. Furthermore, you have formatted partition during the installation of Vita? There is an option to format the partition selected during the installation of windows. You see, I met some users who tried to install windows without formatting the selected partition.

• Volume wheel works but types the letter 'c' when used - Satellite A300-16I

  As the topic title says, the volume on my A300-16I wheel works as expected, the increase and decrease of the volume with side effect, irritating and unusual type the letter 'c' while turning.

  It's quite embarrassing because most media players have a function attributed to this key and it is now triggered whenever I change the volume. It happens very regularly (which leads me to suspect that it is not associated with driver/software), but more than enough to be a nuisance.
  Winamp is suspended, GOM player accelerates videos and my emails get c interspersed in them.

  Does anyone know how and why this happens and how it can be fixed?

  > After quickly turn the wheel back and forth for a few seconds the letter 'c' stopped appearing in Notepad (while the notebook was of course) and it is not yet arrived since then

  Thanks for this info! Maybe something assigned to the use of the volume knob but it s great to hear everything is working again.

• SAtellite A30-933 will switch

  Help, my satellite A30-933 switch on, when powered by AC are the AC light and the light battery, battery shows as complete, press the power button, nothing happens, when I try with just the battery, some the the lights on the front flash, then go out, but nothing happens.

  Everyone has ideas, tried the reinstallation of the memory, hard drive etc, but still nothing

  Peter,

  It sounds as if your A30 does not respect its POST (Power On Self Test) rourine. There is a microcontroller on your MB that controls feeding system and handles battery charge etc.. I suspect that it doesn't have. Unfortunately, a trip to your nearest Service partner is the only option in this situation.

• Satellite 1900-303 will switch

  For some reason, my Satellite 1900-303 lights no more.
  The old battery would claim to be charged and yet it wouldn't turn on.

  I bought another battery, but this has not yet resolved the problem.

  Can anyone help?

  Connect the laptop to the AC adapter?
  Please note that a new battery is not charged and before you will be able to use this battery you need to load!

  If the AC adapter is plugged in but the laptop does not start always then you must remove the battery, unplug the AC and must wait about 15-20 min.

  After this short period connect everything again and try to start the laptop!
  If it does not help there is not a lot to make :(
  In most cases, the hardware failure causes these questions and help of the technician is needed!

  Hello

  Sat A300 and other new models of laptops are equipped with HARD drive recovery option. This HARD drive recovery should allow you to recover the laptop without the use of all disks.
  In order to start the procedure for HARD drive recovery, you need to press F8. Then choose the first option called fix my computer. Then new window pops up and there you have to choose Toshiba HDD recovery. All that s.

  But if this procedure don't work (no matter why) then you will need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. If you n t create a floppy disk for recovery of a hand and the laptop will not start, then you will have to buy a drive for recovery of this page:

  You will find on the desktop for Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator shortcut? If Yes, please launch it and create recovery DVDs.

  You will find the HDD Recovery folder on the second partition? Please do not delete it.

• Allowing Satellite A300-16I recovery disk

  I recently bought this laptop and I get this reminder to make a recovery disk, but does not work the link to the program.

  When I found the recovery disk program in its original folder it has always refused to open.
  My laptop "" just think for a moment and then pretend nothing happened.

  Does anyone have a solution for me?
  Maybe I could download a working version of this program...?

  Hello

  From my own experience after a third system to restart a recovery reminder pops up saying: you must create a recovery DVD.
  You said you found recovery disk program in the original record well, as far as I know there is a TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator shortcut on the desktop.
  This shortcut allows stars to this application.
  If this is not possible, then you can try to recover the laptop again, and then to create the recovery CD.

  To start the recovery process you must press the F8 key immediately after starting the system.
  Then choose the option called fix your computer and follow the instructions on the screen.

• Spilled beer on Satellite A300-16I - now button does not work:

  Hello

  I accidentally spilled beer on my computer... not really what you need to do: S
  Well now, I have a little problem that my key 'h' that is not responding.
  So, when I press it and does not work... without 'h' are written.

  Is there a way I could fix this cause I don t feel like using the copy / paste function to write the letter "h"... Well I hope someone like solution :)

  Hello

  Hmm, in all likelihood, your keyboard needs to be replaced.
  I doubt that the only button H can be fixed and thus the entire keyboard needs to be replaced.

  Contact the ASP in your country and request a replacement.

  However, you can also use an external USB keyboard, but I think that it of better to have a laptop keyboard that works properly.

• Satellite A300-1MC PSAG8E - Win 7 will forge index

  PO10220 BIOS update reduced WEI

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300 1MC (PSAG8E) 5.
  To improve performance there a few weeks, that the Vista Home Premium has been replaced by Windows 7 Home Premium.
  Until it doesn't index performance Windows was 3.7, but after installation, it has been reduced to 3.2.

  That's why & what can do?

  In my desperation I found on the Web of Toshiba site that PO10220 the BIOS update would improve performance.
  There is a warning window of the unknown publisher that I have downloaded the update.

  The result was that WEI has been reduced to 3.0 (which are pretty low).

  Why is he past & what can I do?

  Hello

  You have changed the operating system from vista to Win 7.
  The two systems are different and so the Windows experience index is different
  This is nothing unusual.

  In Windows 7, the maximum score is 7.9 (and 5.9 for Windows Vista users).
  While these numbers may seem strange to those used to a scale of 1 to 10, the Windows team has established the numbers for a reason.
  As technology becomes more sophisticated, the index will extend to 8.9 or beyond, to accommodate the faster hardware.

  More details about the Windows experience index located on the Microsoft page!

• Satellite A300 DVD tray will not open and cause high CPU utilization peaks

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 MM and I have a problem with the optical drive (Mat * un DVD Ram Uj880as):

  DVD - RAM plateau sometimes refuse to open. The LED lights up briefly, but still nothing. Windows recognize the drive but the plateau of refuses to open. Eject commands the position of work and management of the computer-> disk management will not work. I can open the tray manually but the optical drive will not read any cd/dvd. No error code in return.

  When that happens it cause peaks of high utilization of the processor (from 60 to 100%) in the System Idle Process. Just stop and restart it solve. After that, the laptop also runs fine and the optical drive.

  I replaced Win7 32-bit with a 64-bit version and the problem persist.

  Help, please. Thank you.

  I have the same machine with Win7 32 bit and use several players. Everything works perfectly. On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. The configuration of your laptop is not known to us, and we don t know how you set up your operating system and additional applications are preinstalled.

  Maybe stupid advice now, but you must install recovery image original Vista that you got with the functionality of your laptop and test with the factory settings. If the same problem occurs we can chat about it.

  You have created DVDs of recovery following advice in the document s user manuals?
  If Yes use this support to reinstall the original Vista recovery image.
  Is preinstalled original Toshiba Vista or your own installation?
