Satellite A300-1MC and autonomy

Hi all

I've had my new laptop for 2 months now and overall I am satisfied, only 2 points of clarification I need help is the following:

(1) when I charge the battery completely and then click the icon in the lower right of that remaining battery life is 1 and a half hours...!
I thought the average standard was 3 hours? This means that my battery is defective? If someone else has the A300-1MC, what is your life Baker?

(2) when I start the unit takes about 1 min and a half... I uninstalled all startup applications and the disabled unnecessary applications in the Device Manager, is there anything else I can do to speed up the start to the top?

Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you

> 1) when I charge the battery completely and then click the icon in the lower right of remaining battery life is 1 and a half hours...! I thought the average standard was 3 hours? This means that my battery is defective? If someone else has the A300-1MC, what is your battery life

Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop computer if the CD/DVD and HARD disk then runs the battery icon will automatically show a short time working.
Also display high brightness waste energy from the battery.

If my laptop is running on battery power, then I decrease the brightness of the screen to a lower level. This allows to use the laptop a little longer; for about 2 hours.

But if you want to run Notepad as long on battery so I would also recommend buying a stronger battery. for example, a battery 9 cells.

Good bye

  • 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    To improve performance there a few weeks, that the Vista Home Premium has been replaced by Windows 7 Home Premium.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 - 1MC PSAG8E - software of Toshiba Assist application password

    Hi all

    I just bought a Satellite A300 - 1MC (model No. PSAG8E-00W00TEN) and I am using the software Toshiba Assist, but its me asks for a password and I don't know what it is or where I can find it.

    Any suggestions?

    Also slightly off topic, the laptop contains buttons to control media player, is there anyway I can change to control iTunes?

    See you soon
    Ian

    Have you tried to do an update of Toshiba Assist? A new version and all the other stuff from Toshiba which you can find here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com
    Maybe the update will solve the problem.

    On command buttons, I think you need to configure iTunes as standard Media Player and select all the files to iTunes playlist.

  • Satellite A300-1MC - I have bad discs?

    I recently bought the upgrade to Windows 7, which has just arrived.

    I know that there are some things that I use which will be like everything does not work with Windows 7 so I did a dual boot, two reasons one is if I can still use the Vista operating system and the other so I can get used to Windows 7 and its different ways before going over to him completely.

    The problem I have is that if the disc of Windows 7 seems to have loaded OK Toshiba upgrade disc with all the system files like DVD, mouse, touch programmable keys key etc. does not load as she asked my model type and the number, but they are not in the list that appears.
    I have a Satellite A300-1MC.

    Only, I bought the upgrade when I went on the site of Toshiba and informed the option to update the page. I also tried my laptop more old, but who told me that it was not covered by the offer so the disk that I should work with the laptop more recent (A300).
    Have I been sent the disc wrong or is there something I need to do to get it to load?

    I really want to keep the dual boot, but if there is no way to make Windows 7 work then I have my money on another asted product from Ms.

    Hey Buddy,

    I'm a little confused about your Mr. ad if I understand you correctly Yes your problem is just that you can t find your model (A300-1MC) on the upgrade disc.
    Is this correct?

    If yes I can only say from my own experience that you should look for the model number. AFAIK A300-1MC belongs to the series of PSAG8E and you will get this model.
    Check this box!

    I hope I could help a bit and if you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

  • Satellite A300-1MC - WLan is not working - no network controller

    Just bought Satellite A300-1MC.
    It does not recognize Netgear wireless network (even with 'walk' "and switch alt F8 active), or a BT HomeHub network (is not 'see' their at all).

    To check device manager... can not see that there is no installed... wireless driver no wireless card doesn't seem to be listed. (Network controller has a yellow exclaim question). Network card installed is REALTEK RTL8102E PCI... which I think takes care of the wired ethernet connection).

    Any ideas how to get operating a wi - fi connection? (I have "worked around" the issue of a Wi - Fi connection using a card spare provided by NetGear USB, but I would get the internal card to work.)

    Should I have the software for the network controller? If so, what & where I get it? Or a driver for the card Wi - Fi internal? If yes what is it and where to get them?

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    John H

    Hello

    Well, I think you mixed with something.
    The LAN card is Realtek but the WLan card comes from Intel!

    So if you wifi card doesn't work I recommend that you download the WLan driver from this page:
    http://195.182.196.33/WLAN/?page=downloads

    Here you choose the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 driver that should work for sure.

    Good bye

  • RAM is not detected on my Satellite A300-1MC

    Hello

    I bought 4 GB of memory RAM upgrade Pro and it does not seem to detect it on my A300-1MC

    Here is the link for the RAM I got where it is evil, but I doubt it because the part number matches what I need:
    [http://www.memoryupgrade.pro/4gb-toshiba-satellite-a300-st4505-memory-1x-4gb-pa3670u-1m4g-pc2-6400-ddr2-800mhz-so-dimm-upgrade.html]

    Any ideas what I need to do?

    I have a 3 GB already installed and I took out the 1 GB and put 4 GB in its place - the BIOS didn't detect it as I know that 32-bit Windows usually use all the 6 GB.

    Thanks in advance for any help on this.
    If you need more simply make information let me know.

    Thank you
    Keith

    These problems are typical, when someone buys a product or incompatible products name.
    My advice is to return and buy compatible and tested modules of RAM. What you need is 4 GB DDR2 - 800 MHz module, with PA3670U-1M4G part number. It seems that the RAM you bought must be right, but... What is the brand of this module?

    Best brand for the Rams is KINGSTON.
    Check it out on KTT800D2 / 4G.

    Is RAM recognized if you use only this new RAM (slot A)?

    By the way: your Satellite can be improved up to 8 GB of RAM. Cool!!!

  • Re: Satellite A300-1MC: recovery would restore to the original system?

    The story so far...

    Laptop failed (A300-1MC)

    No available recovery disk
    Replaced HARD drive
    Installed Vista using the borrowed from the previous model of Toshiba Satellite recovery disk
    Installed the missing drivers-online work system without valid product key
    Connected the old HARD drive using the box external usb
    Launched original TRORDCLauncher on the old disk - no error

    So now, I apparently have 2 recovery DVDs.

    Question: Will these DVD restore to original system?

    The previous Satellite was no TRORDCLauncher and come included with recovery disks

    I am aware of the correct procedure-online recovery disks in order to https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu

    Recovery disk would still set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of purchase

  • Satellite A300-1GN and driver Vista x 64 support

    Hello

    I own this model for 2 days (happy?).
    However he seemes logically that if this laptop can support up to 8 GB of RAM (I bought with 4 GB) should have option to install the x 64 operating system.
    It seems, but it's not like I know. There is no drivers for x 64 on the official website of Toshiba download MS Systems.
    Well, I'm able to understand that you do not want to support Win XP x 64, because this system is aging.

    I do not understand how it is possible that every major company supports Vista x 64 to their devices and Toshiba are not.

    It seems absurd that you not deliver the proper drivers and I really can't believe that.
    I am amazing and I hope that the main reason is that the product I own is a new model and drivers soon appears.

    For example, satellite A200 has x 64 support despite the fact that it is a model lower and lower...
    I hope that we can hope that our doubts will explain, and Toshiba will be slight not their longer custommers, but bows to our requests.

    If I can be wrong to seek the necessary drivers, then want to apologize for my post.
    But if I'm wrong I'll be glad to hear the rational response and make sure the drivers coming soon!

    concerning
    Kuba

    Hi Kuba

    Satellite A300 is one of the new series of Toshiba laptop on the market right now.
    Because most of the people uses the run Vista and Win XP 32 bit OS, drivers for these operating systems must be released first.
    I m sure that the driver 64 bit Vista will follow as other as for other series of laptops

    There is therefore no reason panic buddy
