  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  To improve performance there a few weeks, that the Vista Home Premium has been replaced by Windows 7 Home Premium.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

  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

• Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA: how to install Win XP as 2nd OS

  Hey any reader for the first time and shows for the first time.
  My comp is the Satellite A300 PSAGCA-02U010

  You 2 questions, hopefully someone can help me with.

  The issue of the first: like many people, I hate Vista.
  How can I run XP as a second OS that don't live my warranty?

  2. the volume level is not very strong (sound) when you watch a DVD etc. I tried different settings, and every time I do I have to restart to take effect, which is a pain that vista is slow to restart. I have downloaded the driver, but noticed that it is exactly the same as what is installed already :(

  See you soon

  > How can I use as a second OS XP who don't live my warranty?
  Installing programs or operating system would not avoid the warranty!
  You can install the Win XP as second OS without fear.

  But before install you anything, I would recommend the Toshiba recovery disc creation!

  With regard to the sound:
  As far as I know the parameters which are changes in the player are not not in trouble. You must increase the volume of every time when you start the software again.
  But have you tested different actors? For example, VLC player is a simple and free tools.
  I recommend to test

• 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!!!

• Satellite A300-1BZ running slow

  Hello

  I just bought a Satellite A300-1BZ and I am not very happy as the laptop seems to be very slow...
  I'm used to a 3 years old is not very powerful laptop and my new Satellite is most of the time slower.

  For example just to log in a 'normal' Web page processors must run at least 60% to 70% and keep this speed even just to keep the page running...
  Is this normal?
  I would have immagined such a new machine to be much better...

  Someone else has the same problem?

  Please let me know I think of sending this laptop back...

  Thank you
  AD

  I agree with Joey please don t forget an important fact. You use the Vista.
  Been to Vista specs and details?

  This new Microsoft OS is a monster. He eats the material resources and therefore you feel a slow performance.
  In addition, your laptop was equipped with different features and installed after many different applications that control functions.
  All programs running in the background s Vista and generally, they use a portion of the CPU performance too.
  All this can affect the performance of notebooks.

  So please don t compare this laptop with older laptops because most of these older machines is not equipped with the same characteristics and the same software!
