Satellite A300-23F motherboard problem

Hello!

I have a Toshiba A300-23F that last week, refuses to turn on.
The power turned on but when I press the power button it does not illuminate.
As my warranty has expired, I gave him a technician to find out what the problem is and he informed me that the graphics chip is damaged but so the whole motherboard must be replaced.
The possibility to give Toshiba to replace my motherboard is not an option, of course, because they require 300-400 for it. I bought the laptop 1000, 2.5 years so it is obvously out of the question.

However, my problem is that I can't find any card handed to nine or such parent on ebay or other shops. Any suggestions on that?

Do you think I have all the options to the left or should I go and take a hammer and release my anger on this high level sourrealistic joke manyfactured from Toshiba.

You must use a motherboard that specially left for Satellite Pro / Satellite A300 series.
The new motherboard is really an expensive part. Perhaps you could get a second hand A300 with a card mother work and then you get good mobo.

But its your own decision, I got a laptop from another manufacturer who died after 3 years of use.
It was obviously a malfunctioning motherboard :(
I tried to solve this problem because of the price of the motherboard I sold the laptop died and bought a new

  • Satellite A300-23F: would reocvery disc format my HARD drive?

    I lost my windows recovery disk and ordered the recovery disc for my toshiba SATELLITE A300-23F that has windows vista.
    For the moment, I have windows xp trial intalled on my laptop.
    If I install windows vista from the recovery disk, it will erase all the data already on my hard drive, including partitions, or it will automatically move into diving C:

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, the recovery disk would firstly format the whole HARD drive.
    This means that all partition will be deleted, and that means you lose everything that was stored on the HARD drive.

    Therefore, you must back up important data before you begin the recovery procedure.

  • Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) - hardware problems after I installed win7 ultimate

    Hello and good day,

    I installed win7 ultimate a few days ago, windows was able to recognize most of my material accepts my build of microphone and camera and another component, I'm not sure what it is (Windows Update automatically downloaded the driver of sound and graphics for me).

    My questions are - where you can find the remaining drivers and where can I get the preinstalled Toshiba tools and software? (The site pilot in the support page Toshiba does not include drivers and software)

    Thank you very much
    King Ben Simon

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) too and installed Win7 Home premium and everything works perfectly.

    Initially, I must say that I do not know where you are looking for the drivers and tools of Toshiba and that all things because utilities are downloadable on support Toshiba & download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    It is logical that MIC will not work if you have not installed the appropriate driver. Installing drivers only and not using Microsoft update. What you need are the real and tested and not some free drivers of the internet.

    Go to the Toshiba download page and install all the stuff following this order of installations:
    -Win7
    -chipset driver
    -Storage Manager
    -display driver
    -driver sound
    -modem driver
    -utility supervisor
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    Hardware - toshiba
    Control - HDMI
    -WLAN driver

    Everything works well but lacks some drivers

    Added Vista tips:
    Toshiba - help - working properly
    -Card reader - installed correctly
    -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
    Driver - Synaptics

  • Satellite A100-803 - motherboard problem

    Hello

    I bought a laptop Toshiba A100-803, two years ago and now I can't turn on the PC.
    We check the laptop and the problem is on the motherboard.

    Anyone know who is motherboard´s ID? Thank you

    Hello

    The motherboard is Toshiba.
    You must use motherboards manufactured for Satellite/Satellite Pro/Equium A100.

    So you can use google to get a new motherboard, or you can request an ASP for help.
    You can order the partner service authorized in your country but new mobo mobo costs a small fortune.

  • Satellite A300 - driver Open Webcam fail

    Hello

    I'm Dr. Ahmed Maher, and I have a problem with my Toshiba laptop. This is the Satellite A300

    The problem is in my webcam. When I try to use the webcam, a message of "driver webcam open fail.please restart the computer or the cam.
    I downloaded the driver from the toshiba site. I reinstalled the driver but the same message appeared. I had updated the BIOS. The same problem. I did a cover for my laptop using the recovery DVD. Not at all, the same problem

    Please help me solve this problem
    Thank you for the care
    Dr. Ahmed

    Hi Dr. Ahmed,

    If your webcam doesn't work after installing Windows Toshiba Recovery disk I think that it s related to the defective material. I mean you have ever tried to update the BIOS and the driver of the webcam but that s all you can do.

    So I would recommend contacting your local authorized service provider people. I think they can help you can exchange the webcam if it of necessary.

  • Should I really Satellite A300?

    I thought that I was the proud owner of an A300: Intel 2 x 2, 66 GHz, 4 GB, 2 x 500 GB HHD, ATI HD4650m 1 GB, 17 ". Try to find a driver for XP SATA, I noticed that all the Satellite has a short-series format as by PS_ * A * _ *. Mine is by PS_ * P * _CCE. According to the format system, which would imply that it is a series of Satellite P. But the label clearly A300-23F. I also started to doubt the info on the label, cause SATA XP for the A300 driver does not include the AHCI Intel ICH9M-E/M, which - depending on the direction of Vista system - is the controller being used.

    1: I have an A - or a P-series?

    2: is there a driver available for my controller ICH9M-E/M SATA for XP?

    Gr.,

    Hello

    Satellite A300-23F belongs to the PSAGCE series.
    So at the bottom of the device, you should see the number of model for example like this: PSAGCE-0CN00JRU

    If your model number starts with PSPCCE-xxxxxxxx so it's not A300 but P300.

    The SATA for Satellite P300 series drivers are placed in the package Intel Robson!
    (file-> Winall\driver)
    You can find it on the European driver Toshiba page!

  • Satellite A300 - search driver for Pioneer DVD - RW DVRKD08A ATA Device

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A300.
    My problem is that the driver for the Pioneer DVD - RW DVRKD08A ATA Device does not work. I have research the Toshiba site for a new driver, but I can't find.

    Can someone help me?

    I put t understand why you need this driver?
    What do you mean by player don t work?

    The Windows operating system contains such driver! It s an own drivers from Microsoft and the ODD should be recognized automatically.
    In your case, you should first check if the CD/DVD drive is recognized in the BIOS.
    If it s not the case then your new ODD is not compatible or there is a hardware failure.

    If the BIOS recognizes the drive CD/DVD correctly, but if the ODD is not correctly in the Windows Device Manager (yellow exclamation point) then this could be the problem of registry.
    In this case, you should remove the reader of CD/DVD from the list of devices and must restart the new laptop

  • Satellite A300 - GPU problem

    I have a toshiba satellite a300-15 with a non-integrated (ati mobility hd3650 512 MB) graphics card.

    Last night I did a reboot of my pc and since then during POST I can hear 3 beeps (one extended its follow-up shorter 2). The screen does not, but the windows 7 normally charge. I tried to connect it to an external lcd display, but nothing happened.

    I think my external gpu died.

    But before you do buy a refurbished or bake in the oven, I must be sure that it is not a motherboard problem. Is it possible that my motherboard has an integrated gpu, which means that after removing the ati hd3650 screen mobility should have lit (which do not have).

    Thank you

    can someone answer me if it is possible to operate my laptop without the dedicated graphics card? Is it possible that my motherboard (DABL5SMB6E0) also has an integrated gpu?
