• Satellite A300-20 b - Touchpad does not work after BIOS update

  I've updated the BIOS on my Satellite A300-20 b latest version 2.00. Update succeeded, but when I rebooted system touchpad has stopped working.

  I tried to find the solution, resettled drivers (windows XP system). In the Windows Device Manager there is no problem with Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad, I see. Software Synaptics shows no problem I can enable and disable the touchpad, but it does not work for the touchpad. I tried Linux live CD and in this system does not work as good touchpad. I think there is problem in this version of the BIOS.

  Does anyone have the same problem?

  Hey Buddy,

  Have you tried to turn the touchpad on or off if you press FN + F9? Check this please!
  Also, try to load the default settings in the BIOS.

  What happens if you connect an external mouse to the laptop? It work?

  I can t imagine that the BIOS update causing this problem. If it doesn't work, you need to contact a service provider for help. They can check the touchpad and replace.

• Satellite A300-1HV: light button does not work

  Hi guys,.

  I recently bought a Satellite A300-1HV, and while that in the store, the salesman showed me it was possible to turn off the light behind the function/media at the top of the keyboard buttons. It seems to do by simply pressing the first button (the mute button).

  When I got home I tried several times, and he did in fact machine do what I expected (i.e. off lighting). The manual describes the first button under the button "Mute or LED power. Later that night, I tried the button again once, but this time it acted as a mute button and either turns off the lighting. In addition, the second button (CD/DVD) no longer seems to work at all, although it lights up when you press.

  I tried the Toshiba Assist software and am able to manually turn off the lighting, but the 'Toshiba button Support' seems to have no effect on buttons. I guess this would allow me to set up manually a program runs when I press one of two buttons, but no matter what I ask it to run, it does nothing.

  It's as if there is a piece of software that should be run, leading the keys, that I do not have (or at least no longer have).

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  You can enable this back in the BIOS.
  You can access this menu by pressing the F2 key when turned on the machine.

  Select the Advanced section and turn on LED lighting.

  See you soon

• Re: Satellite A300-234 - product key does not work with another disk the

  Broke the new Satellite A300-234, flied Windows Vista. I did not the backup copy of the system. At the system from a disk of another laptop Toshiba A200-23d.

  The key away. What should do?

  Hello

  The point is that the product key from the underside of the laptop can t be used with another drive in Windows. It s just for the preinstalled OEM version and doesn t work with other versions.

  Normally you n t have to enter a product key if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc because it contains a picture of the factory settings and is different from a disc of Microsoft Vista.

  Anyway, as said Akuma you can order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.
  The another model of laptop recovery disk will not work because the hardware is different.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 - 1 FG psag4e does not read the recovery DVDs

  Hello

  Sorry for my English, I m French.

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 fg and I burn the dvd of recovery before you installed XP.

  And now the first DVD cannot be read correctly and I can't restore my laptop for sale
  (the fan is too loud, media keys do not work with another player WMP... I am not satisfied with this laptop)

  I am looking for the most possible to send me a copy of the DVD please.

  THX

  Best regards

  Hello

  Try copying this DVD of recovery on the other computer, and then try to boot from the burned DVD.

  By the way; Media buttons can be use din WinAmp. You should enable the option in the settings of WinAmp. The fan is not strong and cooling parameters can be changed in the settings to save energy.
  Here are some small tips ;)

• Satellite A300 - 15K: Polish character does not appear by using the shortcut

  Hello

  I am a fresh user of the A300 - 15K, and early on, I discovered that there the combination Alt + Ctr + c assigned from ATI (Catalyst Control Center) software. Unfortunately this combination should normally produce Polish character "to? (apparently not correctly on this page somehow after as I have copied from the word - it is stong focus on it - ' c' here is its capital version "-?").

  I am entered in the Catalyst Control Center and unmarked the use of keyboard shortcuts called (first this particular shortcut, then the use of hotkeys, usually), but I've reached this Catalyst Control Center stopped commissioning after the use of the combination.

  However, the necessary character of Polish does not appear. I can get the capital version with Ctr + Alt + Shift + c, but no normal version.
  A service center guy advised me to assign a different letter as combination of starting for the Catalyst Control Center and I did, but it was not the Polish character appear.

  I guess that there must be an error in the locale so I tried to change to English and Polish with zero results.

  Please help with some Word of the Adviser.

  Its easy to turn off.
  Simply enter the catalyst driver and there must be option as 'shortcut '. Turn the power off.

  I had the same problem.
  I remember that only it was really easy to turn off.
  You shouldn't have a problem with it.

• 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 - CD player does not read any disk

  I have a brand new A300-1MC, old so probably not a malfunction already 5 days only!

  Yesterday I have it configured my printer and camera, no problem at all when playing the discs. However, tonight the CD player is not just reads any disc, have tried everything from a DVD on a music CD.

  I'm not too hot with the computer stuff but hoping that someone out there will be able to help and hoping it's something really simple! Did a scan for virus, just in case, but nothing appeared.
  A big thank you in advance, Carol.

• Adblock Plus does not load in firefox 11 and Vista user limit

  I am running Windows Vista, fully patched. I downloaded Adblock Plus as an administrator, but not as a limited user. The menu bar does not work as a limited user, but the Firefox button.

  I used the download from the Mozilla website button, so I don't know which version of Firefox 11 I had. The problem has been resolved. It seems that the upgrade from 3.6 to 11 was a little more Firefox could deal smoothly. I use Norton 360 and waited until the toolbar become compatible with Firefox (that Symantec says he did to version 8) before the upgrade.

  I've improved by being logged on as administrator, and then configure Firefox as I wanted including the add-on Adblock Plus. I disconnected then connected as a limited user. At this point, the menu bar has failed, bookmarking did not work and did not all trying them to install Adblock Plus. After closing Firefox and re-opening a couple of times (as well as using IE9 to see if this browser had problems too - he didn't) Adblock has finished loading and the menu bar has started working. It seems that something in the process of installing just did not finish first. Everything seems fine now.

• Satellite A300-1ND - how to make a dual boot with XP and Vista?

  Hello
  I have just pursached a Satellite A300-1ND with Vista Home 32 pre installed.
  I intend to install XP SP2 as a dual operating system.

  Where should I start? What should I be wary and be careful?
  What bios update (XP update last 1.7)?

  Thanks, I appreciate all the help

  Before you try to install Windows XP to create a new partition.
  Then boot from the XP CD and install it. After that, you must restore the bootloader of Windows Vista using EasyBCD, for example.
  All that s!

• Satellite A300-1BZ - new battery does not charge

  Hello

  I bought a new battery (PA3534U-1BRS) because my old battery (3 years) hold office as well as it should!
  The new battery will not charge, the Red battery light suggesting everything of fine, but then begins to Flash after 20 minutes.
  When I turn on the computer the battery indicator on the taskbar in Vista tells me the device is turned on, but the battery won't charge.

  The company where I bought the battery has issued me with a replacement, but I'll always have the same problem.
  They have listed the battery as a genuine, and there any labelling even as my old battery.

  The battery would be false or toshiba has changed the specifications of this battery in particular.
  The reason for my last statement is the fact that my old battery contacts look more apparent than those on the new.

  I have no reason to believe that the company is not kosher because I returned the first battery to address personally after realizing that they were on my doorstep!
  Fake or not compatible?

  The comments appreciated.
  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Maybe you used the battery is not compatible, but AFAIK the PA3534U-1BRS is designed for Satellite A200 A300 L300 L300D
  So it should work.

  However, I recommend buying a battery of origin of Toshiba ASP.

  Contact a local Toshiba authorized service partner and order a new compatible battery for this laptop.

  I think the new battery should work.

• Satellite A300-1EI: Debian Linux does not detect DVD drive

  Hello guys,.

  I am trying to install Debian debian-40r5, but the first issue I encountered is that the DVD is not detected correctly and the system setup program is not loaded.
  What happens is...

  1. start the program installation of Linux and its load.
  2. I am invited for selections of region/language/KB. Then when debian tries to detect the drives, the dvd is not detected, and I am asked to load the driver manually. I tried to load the drivers in the installer, but without success.

  If anyone knows how to load the appropriate driver, please me advice.

  Thanks in advance,
