  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.

• Satellite A300-1mz: update Bios or not?

  Hello...

  I have a Satellite a300-1mz PSAGCE and I've never update of the Bios. It is bios Insyde 1.70 (24/11/2008)

  Should be the latest version, right?
  If I decide to upgrade, what are the benefits? It is really necessary or just recommended?

  Furthermore, if I would upgrade with a new 500 GB hard drive, it works correctly with the bios 1.70 or new hard drive needs higher BIOS?

  The current 250 GB fj-simens is very noise and she is very hot with little work...
  I would like to find a hd that does not exceed 45note ° with all night, video editing and long scan and which will be very quiet...

  Thank you

  > 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

• Satellite A300-1mz boot Vista too long

  Hi all...

  I ask for your support for a strange problem that plagues my * a300-1mz * since the first day.
  * The start of the O.S*. (windows vista home edition) * long * for my patience. * Lifetime * is more than * 2 min, 30 sec *.
  Amazing for a dual core2duo and 4 GB of ram.

  The screen * "Please wait" * rest for most of the time.

  I always use the Hibernate feature, but sometimes I have to restart and its duration is too long.
  I ask you a solution.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I advise you to check the programs and utilities in the start option. You can start to type this in RUN msconfig.

  As I now Tempro utility (utility of fingerprints if available) takes enough shortly that it scans for update

  2 defragment your drive with any defragmentator like Diskeeper and Raxco Perfect disk, clean the entire system (registry, remove duplicated files) with software such as Winutility, Tuneup

• Satellite A300-1NO - webcam does not work, but the LED lights

  Hello!

  I have a laptop Satellite A300-1NO, with Win 7 installed. My problem is that my webcam does not work always, when I want to use it. Sometimes, it works perfectly in Skype, WLM etc... but sometimes I see a white or a black screen with a 'loading circle' in there. Blue is the LED light, I can see it in Device Manager too, but there is no picture, just 'loading '. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it, I installed the new "camera Assistant for Toshiba", without success.

  Is there any solution for this?

  > Is there any solution for this?
  I put t think there is solution for this. If I understand you right there is a problem with software pre-installed. It is not easy to say why this is happening.

  I have Satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Webcam works fine all the time.

  One more thing: have you noticed this problem in the first moments after installing Win7 or later?
  Have you installed something that may be the reason for this?

• Many screens scratched and crashed on Satellite A300-1MZ

  a new problem with my * a300-1mz * :-( I'm very worried...
  Sometimes my computer laptop crashes irretrievably with the inconsolable * screen *:

  It happens often in the "* put off" laptop * but also when I'm * using other software * (for example with the antirootkit gmer, sometimes crashes with the same screen note)
  I ask for your support to find the problem and its resolution.

  * WITH THIS SCREEN, THE LAPTOP COLLIDED. ANY KEY ON THE KEYBOARD DO NOT WORK (NOT EVEN CTRL + ALT + CANCELLED). *
  * the only solution is a very bad off system *: I press the power button for several seconds until the laptop is not off. I think that this procedure is not too good.

  I hope that there are no problems with my video card: * ati radeon *.
  * mobility hd 3470.*
  
  * I look forward to your soutien.*

  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 A300-1MZ - Smart tool recognize problems with the drive

  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. :)

• Re: Satellite A300 controls buttons do not work

  Command buttons on my new Satellite A300 for volume ect. have stopped responding to my touch. They are only half lit as they are caught between fading and. They used to work, but now they do not have. I reinstalled the package Toshiba value added but that doesn't seem to work.

  Soon, Levi,.

  Hello

  You mean all Toshiba control buttons (IE pause, play, stop, lighting, etc.) don t work yet, you have installed the new VAP?

  One of my friends had the similar problem and he has reinstalled the VFR too.
  Unfortunately, it has not been helping :(
  Something was confusing upward.

  He used the recovery disc and then everything worked again

  I don't know why this happened, but maybe it has something to do with MS updates

• Satellite A300-29N - auto restart within a time

  Hello

  I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-29N, recently, I noticed that my laptop auto-redémarre after 5 minutes, I thought that this could be a problem of charger so I replaced it, and nothing has changed, so I thought that maybe the power so I plugged the power regulator and no change, finally I opened to check for problems of heating and changed the CPU cooler and nothing has changed as well.

  This occurs if the operating system is Windows or Linux, so is hardware not software problems, recently, time went from 5 minutes to 30 seconds, directly after the OS loads, I don't really know what's wrong with it, I tried everything I suspected it might be the problem, anyone have any idea why what is happening?.

  Thank you

  It is not easy to say why this is happening. Can you please do a little test?
  Start your laptop and enter the BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and let us know if the same thing happens again.

• Satellite A300 FN + F5 does not work properly

  Hello
  I have a Satellite A300, PSAGCA-09U01N.

  I would like to connect a coard S-video from my laptop on my TV, and when I press FN + F5, I don't get the icons appear along the top of my screen _anymore_.
  I always get the plug S-video works, but going from normal setting (just laptop screen) by other modes ('laptop screen + TV' etc) is very slow. Can someone please.

  Hello

  Hmm... If the icons don't appear if you press a FN key you must reinstall Toshiba value added package if you use Vista or Windows 7. You can download it on the Toshiba driver download page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  Value added package controls the FN and enlightenment for example keys in order to check this!

• Music satellite A300 PSAG4A keys doesn't work do not

  Hello

  I am new to this forum and in fact Toshiba problems in general. : P

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-PSAG4A running on Vista 32 bit. A few days ago the music keys Harman/Kardon lighting on it suddenly stopped working. When I use my cell phone, I usually put in mode 'sleep' and normally wake him using these support the keys - but for some reason, they stopped randomly light up and answer.

  I tried used - by restarting the computer laptop and test frantically buttons, but of course, they do not react. Keys and the laptop itself served very well up to now I can't think of any reason why this is happening now.

  I'm not super computer savvy but I did some reading on the subject of these keys and wanted to try to reinstall the Toshiba Value added Package method - but I couldn't find the PVAT file anywhere on my laptop.

  In addition, Toshiba does not offer support for my laptop computer series (A300-PSAG4A); their download section is only for the ST series. Please correct me if I'm wrong - I could be looking right or whatever.

  I did a system health report to check if it is a driver problem and it came with the following text:
  Error messages two affirming that "the device for the Base system device driver has not been installed" and the other saying that "the device driver for #UNKNOWN # has not been installed."

  I don't know that anyone say or if they are relevant to my problem.

  Help, please?

  > I'm not super computer savvy but I did some reading on the subject of these keys and wanted to try to reinstall the Toshiba Value added Package method - but I couldn't find the PVAT file anywhere on my laptop.

  Hi, you can download the VAP (value added package) for a Toshiba driver page.

  > Also, Toshiba does not offer support for my laptop computer series (A300-PSAG4A); their download section is only for the ST series. Please correct me if I'm wrong - I could be looking right or whatever.

  Surely, they do think you searched on a fake page the A300 PSAG4A seems to be an Australian series of Toshiba and therefore, you should check page driver Toshiba to THE.

  Here you should find the VAP

  Recommend to uninstall the first PPV, and after new reboot you could install the package again.

• Satellite A300 - USB drives do not work!

  I have a satellite A300 and it has 1 usb port on the left and 2 on the right. The one on the left works perfectly well, but both left work at all which is really irritating.

  When I try and use the 1st, a bubble pops up saying: peripheral USB not recognized and when I use the 2nd one nothing happens at all. Ive downloaded the lates bios update, but it did not work.

  Help please!

  Have you updated the chipset drivers? Here, you will also find Toshiba Europe site where you downloaded the latest version of the BIOS.

  It could also be a hardware problem, but first of all, I would like to try a recovery facility. If you have the recovery disk try this.
