  Hello

  I am trying to solve a strange problem with a Toshiba Satellite A300-15E.

  For me, it's like the laptop overheating CPU. but I accept all suggestions on this subject.

  My customer told me that the laptop is very hot and it runs about 20 minutes then turns off.
  I disassembled it and clean the dust, put the thermal paste on the CPU and VGA.
  After mounting it turns on again and it stops more than a minute.

  My question is where I hurt, what I can do to solve this problem.

  10 x a lot.

  Hello

  Did you use the right thermal grease for the CPU?
  The compatible thermal grease: BU1 FCR - AS A000018310 THERMAL GREASE

  Are you sure that the thermal (cooling module) assy working properly?
  Compatible part must has a role: THERMAL ASSY A000031620 SA5

  In your case I would test the memory too...

  Hello

  It sounds like this dust is in the heat sink and your laptop should be cleaned using the jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can get air to each computer dealer normally stream.
  Check this box!

  I clean my cell phone every 3-4 months and I m always asked how much dust out. I think that s important to clean but it only takes a few minutes. :)

• Satellite A300 - voltage to the Mexico problem

  Currently, I use my Satellite A300 in Europe (I bought it here too), where the voltage is 230V.
  I go to the Mexico and I would like to take this laptop with me.

  However, in Mexico, they have a different voltage - AFAIK 100-127V.
  Is it enough to buy the new adapter arriving at the Mexico?

  Thanks for the reply!

  Hello

  AFAIK all Toshiba laptops are equipped with adapters that supports an entry universal voltage 100 ~ 240V 50/60 Hz.

  As you can see, the input voltage may be between 100V and 240V. I think that you will have no problem to the Mexico ;)

• Satellite A300 - driver webcam and Windows7

  Hello...

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300-146, model No.: PSAJ0E, 1 GB of RAM, Intel Dual core 1.87 processor, chipset Mobile Intel (r) 965 family.

  Now I use Windows7 trial version... I can install all drivers of vista, including the driver of the webcam... I can't open the camera assistant software. If I opened, it says 'Webcam driver open fail. "Please restart camera or computer. However, I can open webcam on yahoo messenger...

  How can I open the software assistant camera...?

  Help me..

  Don't think it's really a problem?
  I doubt that this is because Windows 7 is only a trial version and it is not a version of the end.

  Toshiba is not compatible Windows 7 beta and so you should do a downgrade to Vista or XP. Then your problem should be solved.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A300 - USB port and fingerprints issue

  Hello

  I'm starting this thread that I have problems with my fingerprint reader and my USB port.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-C01 laoptop. It was purchased in September of last year. I have not used it much except for the first week I had it, I've been away (Overseas), and I didn't take my laptop with me (I took a former I). There is no chance that the laptop has been used so that I was absent because I live alone and that the cell phone was simply sitting in the computer room.

  I started using it again about 3 weeks. Around a week ago, I noticed a pop-up (bottom left of the screen) telling me that a USB port had problems. I put my FlashDrive on the first USB port and at first, it was not recognized. I tried with another flash drive I have and who has been recognized. However, every time I start the computer I get who pop up telling me that there is a problem with the USB port.

  I also met a problem with the fingerprint reader. A pop up appears in the lower left side of the screen and say that the fingerprint reader was having problems. Happened since then that the problem with my USB port began to appear. About an hour ago, I checked the Device Manager and the fingerprints fingerprints/biometrics scanner does not appear in Device Manager.

  Has anyone else had this type of problem?

  What did you do to solve it?

  I would appreciate comments that I have no other choice at this time until Monday when the Toshiba support is available (they are available Monday to Friday).

  Thanks in advance,

  Deanne.

  First of all, you should try to update the chipset drivers and software of fingerprint. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  If it doesn't work you should try to update the BIOS. Check the Toshiba site for an update.

  In the worst case, you must reinstall the laptop with the Toshiba recovery disc. So you can make sure if it s a hardware issue or not.

• Satellite A300-243 - keyboard and touchpad has stopped working

  Hello everyone

  I have a serious problem in my Satellite A300-243. I installed a driver for external keyboard using a CD and once I rebooted both keyboard and touchbpad stopped working and to make any order, when I reached the vista welcome page.
  What should I do because you know that even if I can't get into the windows to uninstall this driver.

  Any way to do during windows startup?

  Hello

  Why you installed a driver for external keyboard? I've never heard of such drivers

  Anyway, you should try to start in safe mode and then you are able to remove driver external keyboard to the list of software. After I restarted in normal mode, the keyboard and the touchpad should work properly again.

• Satellite A300-1AL - keyboard and touchpad issues after change of OS

  Hello

  I'm looking for suggestions or ideas how to deal with the problem of keyboard and the touchpad, which occurred just after I installed the new operating system. I changed from Windows Vista to Windows 7 and my keyboard and touchpad become inactive after a few minutes of starting the system. It is not serious if I write something or not, the unit works for a short time, then turn off automatically. I tried to find updates the driver but failed to come through what might be the solution. It is difficult to work with the screen keyboard so I hope that you will be able to help me.

  Thank you in advance,
  perkit

  I have Satellite A300-1LI and I installed clean Win7 32-bit using the Microsoft installation disc and all devices are working properly including the keyboard and the touchpad.

  Have you installed Win7 upgrade or clean the Win7 version?
  Have you used Microsoft installation CD?
  In General, keyboard and touchpad must work without any additional driver.

• Satellite A300 - dvd, usb and card reader does not work

  Help needed please.

  Have a laptop Satellite A300, running vista.

  Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it. The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full.)

  The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card and the other usb port does not fuction.

  I have not installed or don't remember changing of settings or do whatever it is the habit.

  Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Your ad is very confused.
  > Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it.
  Well, there are several reasons for this; It would be possible that the inserted disc is not completely compatible. Try different drives from different manufacturers.
  It would also be possible that the STRANGE laser lens is dirty. In this case, you might clean using a cotton ball and alcohol tip. In my case it helped.

  > The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full).
  Did you use a compatible card? The laptop runs these cards:
  8MB - 2 GB SD card
  SDHC - 4 GB card
  -16 MB - 2 GB xD Picture card
  Memory Stick - 8MB - 256MB
  Memory Stick Pro - 256 MB - 2 GB
  MultiMediaCard - 8 MB - 1 GB
  miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32 MB - 2 GB

  I recommend also to format the card and to copy files from computer, and then test this.
  You can also reinstall and update the driver for the card reader controller...

  > The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card
  Can't believe that you must use a scanner software (must be provided with the scanner) and have to test this unit. By the way; for the most part a scanner driver must be installed in order to use this

• Satellite Pro A40: error message - cooling problems

  I have a Satellite Pro A40.
  I cleaned the cooling circuit (hose and cooling fan), after hearing a strange noise from the cooling fan.
  After cleaning the system, the error message "you have cooling shut down your computer and bring it to a service center" is displayed.
  The fan operates at a low level, but do not accelerate as usual after opening several applications.
  In this case, the error message is displayed and the system becomes extremely slow.

  Thanks in advance for your advice

  Concerning

  Hello

  sounds, something was wrong after cleaning. I recommend you to send your machine immediately to a service partner and let it check your machine because the laptop might have some serious hardware malfunction.

  Before you send your machine for them, I would check the cooling fan cable and attach, maybe this could remove the error message.

  If you need to find an ASP then click [HERE | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT] and find one that is closest to your country.

  Welcome and good luck :)

• Problems with Satellite A300-1 b 0 cooling: fan does not stop

  Hello users,.

  I m new on Linux and Ubuntu, I installed ubuntu 8.10 last week;
  All things are ok, ok start menu because I have XP, network ethernet connection and wireless, updates ok, ok packages!
  just one thing that make me "' it's my laptop fan, I explain:
  He turned on since I have connection ubuntu and it will be off only when that I disconnect "shutt down" my laptop, so it never stops until the

  the use of ubuntu, because with xp there start but if the processor is cold it is stop! and restart and etc...

  So if anyone has an idea, you are WELCOME!

  My laptop configuration:

  Satellite TOSHIBA A300-1 b 0
  Processor: core 2 duo T8100 2 .1GHz of
  RAM: 3 GB
  SATA hard drive
  Marvell Yukon 88E8040T Ethernet
  Intel wireless

  and I have the patched with the latest bios of the toshiba site
  Date of the bios 07 2008 v3.7 blistering

  > The use of Ubuntu, because with XP there start but if the processor is cold it is stop! and restart and etc...
  If I understand correctly using the Win XP the fan does not always with some breaks. Is this good?

  This isn't a problem but a friend feature.
  As you know the GPU creates a lot of heat.

  This is why it is important that the fan is way on and to cool the GPU or CPU if the temperature reached and some point.
  I put t know what temperature must be reached, but it cannot be too high due to overheating problems.

  Second graphics driver Toshiba control the performance of GPU and the dissipation of the heat too. If the temperature rises to a critical level (applications executing heavy performance) the diver decreases performance to ensure that the heat dissipation would come down.

  But this happens only if the cooling module will not be able to cool the internal temperature.

• Satellite Pro U400 starts and overheating problems

  Hello

  6 weeks ago, I bought a Satellite Pro U400. Shortly after that I bought, I noticed that the computer overheating. After 1 hour of use, it becomes very hot in the touchpad area, as well in the base of the computer and on the touchpad itself. It is very annoying because I almost burn my fingers with the touch pad.

  The problems began 10 days ago. I had been using the laptop for an hour when it suddenly turned off without notice. Power outage? I don't know Don t. I looked like a sytem of overheating protection. My previous laptop had the same problem. After a few minutes, I was able to turn it back on.

  Then it happened again a few days ago, but it took me 5 minutes to turn on. Yesterday, it happened again, and after 45 minutes without response, I went to bed. In the morning, I was able to turn it on.

  This also happens when wifi is disabled, it is not only a problem with the wifi card, overheating of the system.

  Am I the only one having this problem? I will try to send it back to Toshiba for a replacement or a refund.

  Is this normal in a really new machine?

  Thank you

  First, the warming of the touchpad is normal for almost every laptop, due to construction. Under this, there are the HARD drive and it produces heat. With my last books, and it was not bad, too.
  But really to get so hot?

  Due to the protection against overheating, it is normal that you cannot turn on your laptop immediately.
  But the wireless card is not the device in question, because it's a very small piece of hardware and produce little heat.

  You said, you had this problem with your notebook previous too. Let me ask you, when you use your notebooks? What your table surface there or is there no matter what on that table cloth?

  What I can tell you right now is, to check your locations of fantilation for all dust or maybe you have objects near it so that hot air can not cool.

• Satellite A300D-15B - off and charging problem

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A300D-15B, running Windows 7 32 bit, which has bought used recently. I encountered some problems and I hope that someone can help me with!

  First of all, the day I got the machine, he spent all of a sudden, but turned back immediately and seems to be ok. Subsequently, 3 weeks later (Saturday 2 July) I was installing some software when I got an AGV virus warning, in a few moments the machine again is turned off suddenly. Unfortuanetly right now it will not turn back and the costs/AC power indicator do not come. After some research, I found that remove the BIOS battery and power dissipation allowed me to turn on the machine. Are there any known issues that could be the cause?

  Second, once I had the laptop to turn on after you stop suddenly on Saturday, I found that the charger will not yet be you register as being plugged in unless I have use the folling procedure.
  (1) disconnect the power cable fuse from the transformer block
  (2) remove the battery
  3) plug into the DC Jack
  (4) plug the power cord for the transformer that causes the power led on the laptop to turn on.
  (5) reconnect the battery

  The laptop then charges normally, I use it to write this post.

  I must use this process whenever the unit is unplugged the sector or charger, which is irritating and also concern that there could be trouble on the horizon.

  Any help would be much appreciated.
  see you soon
  John

  Hi John,.

  You wrote that your laptop runs with Windows 7 and the first question you mentioned could be linked to the operating system only. You can test one thing please? Restore factory using Toshiba recovery disc. The disc will restore original settings of the case which is pretested by Toshiba.

  If it s just a software related problem the recovery disc will resolve this problem.

  Unfortunately, it could be a malfunction of the motherboard also. Are you using the original Toshiba AC/DC adapter or 3rd party one?
