Satellite A300-201 - does not work so well

Hallo,

My new Toshiba A300-201 has a problem. Sometimes it works so well, especially when I listen to music with Windows media player. The symptom is the windows media player does not work ca. 2-3 seconds, and the machine makes a noise loud enough and weird. It is quite often, 15 minutes once.

Did anyone know about this?

Thank you!

Hello!

You have this problem only with Windows Media Player?
If so, check if you have the latest version and try another player.

In addition it is not easy to say what the problem is. You have installed the laptop with the recovery disk?
Maybe you should check the RAM with Memtest86 and the disk with Drive Fitness Test.

Good bye

    Hi maestro2118,

    Since when did you notice this behavior and what operating system is installed?

    Before install or reinstall a driver, I recommend you to remove the old driver first. Then, restart your computer and run CCleaner to remove old registry keys. A reboot, and you can install latest driver of the webcam of Toshiba page.

    Thank you very much...

    Hello

    Talk you about internal or external microphone?

    If you come in on the internal mic then it could be interesting how you did test you this?
    As far as I know the internal mic belongs to the internal webcam. Then, start the webcam software and record a small video with sound.
    You can check if the sound wasn't available in this video.

  • Satellite A300 - motherboard does not work

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A300... everything worked well, but there is a day, when I used the laptop it started working and it blocked a few seconds... I tried to turn it on again several times, but it always of the blocks...
    I gave the phone to a technician and he told me that, probably, the motherboard is broken and I have to send my computer in the center of Toshiba to fix...
    Now the problem is... the warranty period, you are finished... and they told me I have to pay for plu 60/hour, so I have to pay for the new motherboard... I worry I have to pay too much to repair the laptop and I don't know if it is better to repair or buy a new...

    What do you think guys? Does anyone know how much may the reparetion cost?
    I really like this computer, that's why I didn't buy a new still...

    Hey Buddy,

    Exact repair costs are the repair center, so I think I contact guys and ask how much it cost + just +. I think Exchange mainboard takes about an hour to have to pay 60 euros/hour + new motherboard.

    If you know the exact repair costs, you can decide which is better, but without knowing that it is difficult to say which path would be one that suits

  • Satellite A300 - keyboard does not work after cold start.

    Hi people,

    I inherited an A300 of questions.

    When you turn on the laptop, the keyboard works at the BIOS level, but once it boots into windows keyboard no longer works. I discovered that by pressing the power button (stop) and then turn the laptop back on brings back the keyboard. (It was in vista).

    Since I did a new install of Windows 7 (removal of all partitions on the disk) and the fault remains, I also installed the added value Pack which did not help.

    Firmware was 1.6 - updated to 1.9; fault remains. I restored the factory settings in the BIOS - fault remains level.

    I installed a copy of Fedora 11 (Linux), that works perfectly.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the comments.
    To be honest, I use an external mouse only.

    Hi Sandra_braga,

    I think that you have tested everything you can do, it was a good job but as Akuma wrote, I think that it s time for an authorized service provider. Maybe the DC IN socket is damaged, motherboard or something else, to check it for professional people.

    If you n t know where you can find more recent control the Toshiba site ASP. You can find a list of them online. :)

  • Satellite A300 - Touchpad does not work correctly

    Hi guys,.

    I recently had a problem with my laptop touchpad.

    The little icon in the toolbar that displays the status of the touch pad indicates that the touchpad is used even when it is not.
    There also some time did the same for the left click button.

    I tried to change settings in the control panel and tried to update the driver (windows tells me always upward even if this isn't so far!).

    Because the touchpad think he used this effects my LT performance! Any clues guys.

    Oh and Fn + F9 turns off the TP but the indication remains the same.

    Have you tried to use the touchpad the touchpad driver free? You should be able to use the touchpad without driver also, but you will have all these additional options.
    Can you please test?

    What model of laptop you have exactly (A300-xxx)?

  • Satellite A300 - light does not work

    Yesterday I accidentally deleted all the programs and light stopped working. It is always light. By pressing the buttons produced nothing. This program is responsible for the work of touch buttons?

    How to solve the problem?

    You use the Vista operating system?
    If Yes, then you must reinstall the added value package.

    Lighting can be turned on and off in the BIOS settings.
    You could also turn on and off in * Toshiba Assist-> Optimize-> Toshiba HW setup-> lighting *.

  • Satellite A0302 C50D and Ubuntu 12.04.4 - touchpad does not work so well

    I have a Satellite C50D-A0302, PSCGWF part number.
    I use Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Pangolin specific to this topic, but the touchpad does not work so well.

    How can I get the right drivers for the touchpad?

    How do I know if the touchpad is Synaptics or ALPS, so I can get the correct drivers?

    Thank you!

    As you probably know Toshiba does not support Linux and does not offer Linux drivers.
    All about you Googling can find many Linux forums. Try to find useful information here. I mean you can exchange your experiences with other people who are fans of Linux and experts, so I assume that you can get help here.

  • Integrated on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work

    Hi all

    the built-in on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium and already reinstalled the drivers of webcam 64-bit through this Web site. However, when I click on the webcam application, simply, nothing happens - program doesn't open at all or turn off instantly. Skype is not also acknowledge a cam. In addition, there is no webcam in Device Manager (a not detected USB device however) and no symbol of cam in the Ribbon of Toshiba quicklaunch, which is like the camera is started according to the "manual".

    Someone has an idea what is the problem? Looks like a common problem according to Google, but no suggestions other than to reinstall the drivers. Perhaps another application blocking the camera? Firewall settings?

    I'd appreciate any help, thank you.

    Best regards Florian

    > a USB not detected if

    Maybe it's the webcam from the webcam is connected to the internal USB controller on the motherboard.

    It looks like a webcam driver is not installed correctly.
    Try the webcam driver released for the satellite t230 or other series of satellites.
    Versions are newer

    Also recommend that you check the BIOS settings.
    In some cases, the BIOS contains a webcam option where the webcam can be turned on and off.
