• Re: Satellite A300-21V cannot read CD - RW

  Hi, my Satellite a300-21V with SSTCorp TS-L633A DVD - RW drive not working (no no reading, no combustion) with CD-RW(however works fine with DVD-RW); I've updated firmware to TO03 TO1 (from the toshiba site), but no effect. also I changed the BIOS settings with the compatibility (changing compatibility AHCI) mode, but no progress.

  > changed BIOS with compatibility mode settings (switch from AHCI compatibility), but no progress.
  This setting has no influence on the CD/DVD drive
  This setting affects only the HARD disk controller and using compatibility mode no SATA driver for the HARD disk controller is necessary.

  In case you I recommend you remove the filters above and below as mentioned here:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

  Also I recommend that you test different CD - RW from different manufacturers.
  I made good experiences with TDK discs

• Satellite A300-17N - t - it have port series and how to get there?

  Hello

  To help my studies in microcontrollers, I need serial port, but I did not on the Panel of my laptop. I know that some laptop models have one on their motherboards, but is not on the Panel. If satellite A300-17N is one of them I enjoy any help and instructions how to get manually.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Satellite A300-17N doesn t have serial port and AFAIK no Satellite A300 was equipped with this port.

  But I saw a few online shops, they listed an Express card that offers the serial port (RS232). I found one on Amazon:
  http://www.Amazon.co.UK/STARTech-com-16C950-ExpressCard-serial-adapter/DP/B000PE6G04/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&QID=1300736594&SR=8-8

  I think it would be easier and less expensive way for serial port. :)

• Portable Satellite 1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require files avi (codec)

  my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.

  Hello

  I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
  In this case, you need additional codecs.
  This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
  Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.

  Good luck

• Satellite A300-17N - the CPU multiplier does not change under load

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300-17N. Yesterday, I noticed that my CPU does not change its multiplier under load.
  I have used programs like premium 95 and Orthos CPU load and programs such as CPU - Z and Everest.

  The multiplier blocked on 6 and do not change its value.
  Under load the multiplier should change its value to 13, but it didn't happen.

  In this case my CPU works on 798 MHz (133 x 6) 1732 MHz (13 x 133) instead.
  I will be grateful for any advice.

  Hey Buddy

  I put t know what you are talking about, and I don t know if you're up-to-date on CPU technology but the laptop was equipped with the Intel Pentium Dual - Core T2370 processor.
  I recommend the Intel page on Intel Dual-Core T2370 properties.

  This processor supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology.
  Do you know what it is?

  Here is a short info from the Intel page:

  + Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows the system to dynamically adjust the frequency of voltage and core processor, which can translate into a reduction in average energy and decreases heat production average. +

  I think it should be clear now.

• Satellite A300-1LT - cannot write to SD card

  I had Satellite A300 1lt 5 months, everything works great. Until the day I could not write data to my microSD card. I use this card in my Samsung cell phone. I put it in an adapter SD, because of course its too small for Toshiba card slot. I see all the files on the card, but when I try to write it is said:
  "The disk is write protected. Remove protection or use another disk.
  I don't remember putting protection on my card. I also tried a different SD card, the result was the same. However, when I use XD cards, its fully capable access.

  Any ideas?
  I am running Vista SP2.
  When I put the card in my laptop, I can read/write normally.

  Hello

  Normally, when you look at the map at the top of the left side can be a write protection notch. If it is present, the card cannot be written to.
  Check this box!

  In addition, it would be interesting to know what SD card you use exactly because not all types are supported. I checked the user manual and the following cards will be supported:
  (Up to 2GB) SD card
  SDHC card (up to 16 GB)

  If you are using a microphone or min SD card it can be not supported!

  Check the system requirements for the game. Satellite A300 is not a high-end gaming laptop and maybe some new games couldn't work on this laptop.

  Hello

  Seems that drive HARD recovery does not work.
  Perhaps something has changed on the recovery of HARD drive partition or recovery files has been deleted

  Usually it s always advisable to create a recovery disk in a first time. This should be done at the beginning and this recovery disk is always useful if something would go wrong with drive recovery HARD or with HARD drive

  Now, you can't get the phone because you don t have this drive and the HARD drive does not work

  What to do?
  Well, I think that you would need new control disc.
  You can do so here:
