Satellite A300-1mz - duration of battery use

Hi all

I have a * a300-1mz * recently over a year and I would like to know the battery of your model of the mine.

My a300' is very low for me... * on the 1h30m

Give me everything consults to check the battery warning level (wear) and if it would be good to do the calibration (and how)

Tanks...

Hello

1.5 hours is not bad!
Battery working time is always based on the use of the laptop.
Battery needed to dump applications much faster running who need more performance for laptop.

For example, to watch DVDs;
In these cases, the reader of CD/DVD to run all the time. This waste a lot of power.
You can reduce the brightness of the screen in order to increase the working time of battery.

But note; sooner or later, the battery would die that s normal and during the use of the laptop the battery loses the own performance.

You can try to calibrate the battery; Completely discharge the battery and charge it again. Repeat this several times

    > If I decide to upgrade, what are the benefits? It is really necessary or just recommended?
    The BIOS update is recommended only if you have problems with your laptop.
    If your laptop is running properly, then a BIOS update is not necessary!

    > Besides, if I would upgrade with a new 500 GB hard drive, it works correctly with the 1.70 bios or new HDD needs higher BIOS?
    The new HARD drive should be recognized by the BIOS correctly event it s an old version.
    It's not easy to say what HARD drive is the best.
    Usually faster HARD drive with rpm higher can be stronger and can develop more heat as a slower HARD drive.

    But in most cases it is not question of speed, HARD drive is it shouldn't t be a temperature problem

    Hello

    Hello

    I can give you only a few suggestions;

    First of all, I think you should check if this issue would be seen on the external monitor.
    I guess this won't be visible but it s worth it to check out what
    If it is not visible on the second external monitor then I would say that the problem is related to the GPU (graphics chip).

    Of course updating the graphics card driver and BIOS update should be performed if the updates are available on the European driver Toshiba page

    If doesn't help t update software, then material should be checked by a technician of ASP.

    My laptop went crazy in the past two weeks because of the high temperature too
    In my country we have a temperature of 36 degrees C and cooling modules running all the time to cool the CPU and the GPU then maybe it s a question of temperature

  • Satellite A300-1MX - get only to use 2 GB

    Hello world

    I have a question:
    My Satellite A300-1MX has 4 GB of RAM... now that I have Windows XP Professional, its only able to 3 GB...
    But how is it, I don't get to use 2 GB... Probably because my graphics card uses 1 GB.
    How can I pass... as in how do I can change the amount of RAM uses the graphics card?

    I've been usin Adobe after-effects, and in the options of memory & cache, it says I have 2 GB of ram maximum...
    I want to say is that I buy a laptop with 4 GB and end use only 2 possibe really!
    The graphics card (3650) a 512 dedicated... but sound using 1 GB.

    I shud have 2.5 GB of RAM then if it wud be logical.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you very much
    Sasch

    Hello

    The 32-bit of Windows XP manages 3.2 GB of RAM max.
    3.2 GB of RAM are only possible due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

    The ATI graphics card supports dedicated video memory and he shares part of the main memory too.
    But look, man. everything is controlled automatically. This means that the graphics card driver assigns parts of memory needed.
    If memory is not necessary the graphics card driver assigns not all memory main room in memory of the graphics card.

    Can I send the laptop as collateral for a free replacement of the same disc?

    Among other things, sometimes * the computer freezes * no option to manually turn off the laptop (I think it always comes from the same disk):
    the screen stays fixed and 'Win Vista' does nothing comands.
    same "ctrl + alt + delete" Task Manager does not. The disc indicator light remains lit, but itself no longer believes it works

    Hello

    > Can I send the laptop as collateral for a free replacement of the same disc?
    If the authorized service provider can notice this problem too, you can get a new HARD drive for free. The ASP will order it and swap it out. It is a free procedure if your laptop is under warranty.

    > sometimes the computer crashes
    The HARD drive is perhaps the reason for this?
    Contact a service provider authorized giving them all the details and information. They can fix that also. :)

    I want Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on my laptop, now the laptop already has Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit. I can't find drivers for my laptop to Windows 7 at the download page. Is this ok just to install Windows 7 and use the Vista drivers as new windows has good compatibility with very old components?
    Any who tried Windows 7 on his laptop without having driver support for windows 7 to access to its model of laptop?

    your comments are much appreciated.

    Hello!

    Yes, theoretically you can not install Windows 7 that s no problem, buddy! In addition, most Windows Vista drivers are working on Windows 7 too so he should t be a problem for drivers.

    At the moment there is no official driver and it will take until the official Windows 7 release.
