• Satellite A300-1PH - why I have to enter a password in the BIOS?

  Hi all, how were u.

  It's been 2 months since I bought the laptop Satellite A300-1PH. yesterday, the first time I tried to see my system BIOS by pressing F2, but it took entry in the BIOS password but I never put the password that I am very first open.

  Can someone tell me what is the exact problem?

  Hello!

  Like Akuma said maybe the store you bought has defined a password
  Or it's a laptop second hand the owner then has set a password and I forgot to remove it

  However, a BIOS password can be removed from an authorized service provider. I'm sure they can help you.

  Does anyone know the default password for the Satellite A300-1PH model?

  Laptop Toshiba computers are not locked by any type of password and history is somewhat strange.

• Satellite A300 - very slow meeting of the Windows operating system

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba a300.
  I am facing a lot of problems with it.
  First of all, very slow sound at startup... I ' v read read this post

  -remove all unnecessary software system
  -remove the preinstalled application antivir and installing Avira Antivir software (without a doubt the best for me because he didn't need as many resources)
  -deactivation of departure for everything that I have addresses Don ¢ ' t need (MSCONFIG)
  -Disabling all components material I don't need in the Manager device (modem, multicard reader, PCMCIA slot, firewire)

  Pls u can mention precisely what are all unnecessary software in my laptop... It's first time im having a computer so I donnno much...
  I use kaspersky anti virus. Should I switch to avira? I am also faced with another problem. My led on/off function does not work instead, it acts as a mute button. It used to be well earlier... I tried support button (dimmer.exe), Setup of HW, but both failed... then I uninstalled reinstalled n some added value pack from an Australian site, but who has not too... pls help... I'm p * OFF... all the suggestions/help will be really appreciated.

  > Pls u can mention precisely what are all s unnecessary software in my laptop...

  Only you can decide what software is not important to you
  Toshiba has preinstalled many different programs. Most of these applications control certain features of the laptop as keys FN, controls, etc., but of course, this software needs of material resources and slow down the start-up procedure.

  In MSCONFIG, you can disable some processes and could test how the laptop would be without these applications.

  In addition, I recommend to update or remove the Tempro tool, which has been pre-installed by Toshiba!

  The Avira scanner is great. I m using both and it s free.
  This eater of low material s and, therefore, the laptop should start more quickly instead of using Avira Kaspersky.

• satellite 2520cdt is very slow after replacing HARD drive

  My Satellite 2520 CDT is the HARD Mk 4309 MAST 4.3 GB default disk. I replaced the with the Toshiba MK 2016 GAP of 20 GB.
  I use Windows 98 since the original installation CD. The laptop is now very slow, it takes minutes to start programs, etc.

  I installed the latest BIOS with no improvement. Probably the laptop cannot manage the size of the HARD drive.

  Is there a solution?

  Hello

  I had the same suggestion. I think that the large size of the HARD disk is responsible to slowly start performance. But I wonder why BIOS recognize the HARD drive?
  However, try to defragment the HARD drive.

• Satellite A300-1ED - super slow performance of SSD

  Hi people,

  My 2009 toshiba a300 is a great laptop, but after 5 years of use, it slows down a bit.
  I tried to improve it with new CPU - unfotrunatlly BIOS run.

  So, let me show you my current specification: T2390 1, 86 MHz dual core, 4 GB of 533 HD3470 GPU, RAM, windows 7 64 bit edition Home premium and to speed up everyting, I recently bought 120 GB 840 evo ssd.

  The results? Horrible...
  17, 4 MB/s when copying random file.
  [http://oi57.tinypic.com/34fyw5s.jpg]

  Guys, help me.
  He got the last intel ich8 drivers (I can't install Intel Rapid Storage - don't know why "this platform is not supported'), beta drivers GPU, fully updated, Bios 1.80 Samsung ssd frimeware magician WIN. Startup time is also very slow.

  > Results? Horrible...
  I'm not sure but think that the SATA HDD controller supports SATA so you can expect the theoretical speed of 150 MB/s I. (or lower) but so be 100% sure you should install some like Everest Home Edition or AIDA64 hardware diagnostic tools. In the best cases, it would be SATA II

  What SATA mode is set in the BIOS? AHCI or compatible?
  If it s all in compatibility mode, the SSD drive would not use SATA properties.

  In order to use SATA performance, you must set the AHCI in the BIOS and installing the Win 7 system, you must add the SATA driver (part of the set of Storage Manager intel IRST)

• Satellite Pro U300 very slow opening programs

  Hi all

  I bought a Satellite Pro U300 in February 2008 and I only use it 3 - 4 times since then... It is very slow at the opening of the programs (I have only one statistical program installed) and Web pages and creates problems when I try to download other programs that have a different version of Windows Vista.
  I really regretted buying this phone and I'm looking for someone to sell.

  Until I do, I was wondering if I could uninstall Windows Vista and install Windows XP for example, or do anything else that would make my phone fun to use.

  Anna

  Hello

  The preinstalled operating system ran slowly because many applications are running in the background.
  My laptop was slow too to experience of applications have been disabled.

  You can disable in MSCONFIG.
  Type msconfig window RUN and check the Startup tab.
  You will find the software that could slow down the operating system.

  With regard to the installation of Win XP.
  Yes, you can also install Win XP. By using the Win XP laptop should be little faster because Win XP doesn t need a lot of material resources.

• 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!

  Hi guys,.

  I bought Toshiba Satellite A300-15 b model_No: PSAJ4E and I am trying to install windows XP. but when the installation message comes out says no hard drive found. I know that this question that I have to use the disk driver hard for allows me to do this.

  My Question is, I need hard disk drivers to support SATA in windows xp?

  Note: I have read in this forum that I can do it in the BIOS Setup, but I don't need this response.

  Thank you very much in advance...

  I think that the chipset for laptops is the same - Intel® PM965 + Intel® ICH8M. You need load the files in the folder Ich8M_32 bits.

• Satellite A300-247 - cannot register for the Windows 7 upgrade

  Hi all

  I have the problem by registering for free Windows 7 Upgrade.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-247 and in their registration require the number of room and the j) not it is only numbered series. I bought the laptop in Israel. Is someone know what to do thank you to useful... Lars_3 thank you very much you the answer.

  Logo of the model is still off I wanted to say thank you, there are problems in the site of the browser servers think so much

  Hello!

  To be honest it's a little hard to understand your question.

  What exactly is your problem? I think you want to register on the site to upgrade to Windows 7.
  I n t have experience with this because I didn t buy such a phone compatible update yet, but I think that you need the serial number and the model number of the laptop. The two pieces of information you can find on the underside of the laptop.

  Don t forget that this upgrade option is available for laptop purchased from June 26, 2009 to January 31, 2010.

  I'm of the Greece so I apologise for any errors of syntax, I can do.
  My girlfriend has the Satellite A300 PSAJ4E but his hard disk was destroyed, so I bought him a new (WD Scorpio Black 500 GB) and I downloaded the original Windows 7 MSDNAA to install on the laptop.
  The problem is that it doesn't have the drivers cd so I have to find them on the internet. The other problem is that on the Toshiba official support site it is not found the laptop or the drivers for it.
  So please help me find them. Or tell me if I can insert some of the other Toshiba laptop drivers to it.
  I am ready to format and everything and I don't have the drivers.
  Thank you!

  PS. I found this site but I don't know if it is normal to download them from this site and also, I don't know if I should because I will insert Windows 7 64 bit.

• Satellite A300D PSAKCC very slow for no reason

  System: Toshiba A300D (PSAKCC - 01300Y)
  OS: Vista 64-bit, SP2
  (Everything is factory)

  Hi, I got home Wednesday night from work and my computer was VERY slow. It also blocks no foreseeable reason since and I also noticed IO errors when you try to back up some audio files on my external.
  * Example: * "error 0x8007045D: the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error." (when you try to move a specific .wav file)

  In addition, a new symptom that recently and currently makes himself aware for me is: when typing this thread the guest moves randomly at unpredictable times, usually with the result of finishing or from a word in an unwanted random location in the message. Hard to explain, really, but I thought I would include, because it is extremely annoying and seems so virus-ey. Sounds to me like a program, it's stealing priority; my friend think it is Windows Update.

  About 8 hours before this activity slow/hanging (before I leave for work), it was working fine, but I noticed
  localized only in Google maps as suspended similar activity.

  * What I've done so far: *.
  -back up important files on my external
  -run process Explorer and verified using CPU, RAM and i/o to find nothing extraordinary (low cpu, use of the normal RAM, low use of e/s)
  -made a virus using Microsoft Security Essentials scan

  I'm at a loss as to what I can do at this point; It is unbearably slow... I can't use internet at least that I'm in the safe
  mode, that is, I can't use my video or audio devices... =)
  Funny is the 3 year warranty I got away it just expired, so if it's a failing hard drive, Future Shop has done a good job of prediction of the obsolescence... jerks.

  Hi mate

  It of difficult to say what might cause this exactly.
  I searched on similar questions on Microsoft Knowledge base page and found this interesting doc:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/952272
  It has exactly the same symptom described: the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error (0x8007045D)

  It s required to run the command Chkdsk X: /R
  In this command, x is a placeholder that represents the drive letter of the volume you want to check. So if you want to check the partition or HARD drive then replace X by the letter of the partition or HARD drive.

  I also recommend to check the HARD drive using 3rd party tool called: Drive Fitness Test.
  You can download for free.

  Run and check the might of HARD drive, it must be replaced.
