Satellite A300 - 25 k - BIOS v2.00 is recommended for Win7?

It's the bios v2.00, published on 11-04-09 and the win7 drivers, recommended for the upgrade of the a300 - 25 k (psagce) of windows 7?

Improvements and benefits are not described on the download Web site. :-(

Reports on the pros and cons of the bios v2.00 or experiences so far?

Just FYI: on my Satellite A300-1LI, I still 1.40 and Win7 works perfectly.
In any case, I think I'll update of the BIOS in coming days.

  • Satellite A300-1FP: download a new version of Tempro for Win7

    Greetings

    Having recently done a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my Toshiba Satellite A300 1FP, I was wondering if it is possible to download a version of Tempro that could inform me of new driver availability, etc.

    I know, there is a version for Vista 64-bit Tempro, but I guess that it returns only new drivers for this OS.

    I would appreciate any guidance here.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can download the Tempro from this page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support downloads & -> TEMPRO monitoring tool

    The Tempro can be installed as well on Windows 7.
    This tool reports if the tools and the new pilot aired on the European driver Toshiba for you page series. It s not matter what drivers are there may be a driver for Win 7, Vista, etc.

  • Satellite A300 power suddenly goes out during the race for hours

    Dear users of the Forum,

    I am facing a strange problem in operation.
    My laptop Satellite A300 is suddenly down power during the race for hours.
    It is auto off not exactly. Not the way windows stop, is rather like strength to off (as when I press on & power button to stop force).

    This happens automatically, starting again, the screen saying "windows does not stop properly, start windows normally" is apperanig.

    I suspected virus infection, I tried full scan with nod 32, essential microsoft, kaspesky - 1 by 1 (previous uninstall and install the new), but all the antivirus intremediately scan stopped due to this power off.

    Watch movie also stopped in the Middle, attempted to convert the movie file format also was arrested several times because of this problem of automatic disconnection.

    I tried to run only on the power (remove battery) and got the same result.

    can anyone identify the problem? can you please give me the solution?

    Hello

    I put t think it is s virus.
    En me it looks like overheating. Eventually the high internal temperature requires the laptop to close. This is done automatically to prevent the equipment from damage
    I'm not quite sure what could cause this exactly, but in most cases the dust inside the fans affects cooling performance and lead to a temperature higher than m.

    Higher temperatures could affect the RAM modules too, and perhaps that is the reason why some applications don't work properly.

    What to say; try to clean the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air and check out how the laptop would proceed

  • Satellite A300-276 - requires BIOS password

  • Satellite A300 - after update BIOS black screen

    Hi all
    I just applied the update to the BIOS on my Satellite A300. After the update is successful, the system carries out a restart. Now when I try to start it I get no display, I can hear the proceedings to hear it, the CD player, the DVD, playback led flashes.

    The ASP Toshiba rang me (phone call), the motherboard must be replaced after a bios update, but it is very expensive for me :(
    Please can you tell me if they are a way to fix it without replacing the motherboard? The bios is an Insyde and according to the site Internet the bios bios [recovery technology | http://www.insydesw.com/press/2008/press_060308.htm]. I guess that the ASP does not know that.

    Please can you tell me how to start the recovery procedure it is possible (combination?),.
    Any help on fixing the laptop without replacing the motherboard will be much appreciated.

    Hello!

    I think that the ASP is just and in the worst cases, the motherboard should be replaced.

    You can try to remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait one hour and then connect the AC adapter and the battery and try again.

    If it doesn't work you should go to an ASP. Perhaps a BIOS reset can solve the problem, but it can be done from an ASP.

  • Satellite A300 - after the BIOS update I can not install two OS

    Hello everyone:

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-247 with Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Then I formatted it and divided the hard (320 GB) into 6 partitions and installed Windows Vista and Windows XP on drive C to drive D after having changed the SATA controller mode in the BIOS for compatibility. The computer worked well with 2 operating systems. However, when I updated the BIOS to version 1.9, two operating systems stop working and one of them can be installed: XP can be installed when SATA controller mode is placed on compatibility and Vista can be installed only when the SATA is changed to AHCI.

    Is there is no explanation of what past? And can I install operating systems 2 together again?

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all, I doubt that this has something to do with the BIOS update. I think that after the BIOS update HARD drive mode has been changed from AHCI to compatibility and therefore the OS didn't start.

    Anyway, in compatibility mode you can install Vista and XP without the SATA drivers. This should t be a problem.

    But do you know the difference between compatibility and AHCI? AHCI mode is faster and therefore I would recommend this mode.
    Like you said Vista you can already install in AHCI mode and for XP, you need Intel Storage Manager. This package includes the SATA drivers you need and here is a step by step guide to use these drivers:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

    Last but not least, you can install 2 OS. You can do what you want! ;)

    > 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

  • Re: Satellite A300 - how can I make the webcam work on Win7

    Hello everyone.

    I had Win Vista installed on this Satellite A300 and it worked well.
    I had no problem at all.

    Then I moved to Win7 and now I'm going through the test of the work of webcam.

    I really need your help here, please, I beg you, I spent 5 days ago almost try ANYTHING!
    And yet, I get the message after each installation/reboot of the: "the camara web esta disabled o ha Fall.» "Por favor, it check las web camara su configs", which would result in something like "the webcam is disabled or it has failed. Please check the configuration of your webcam. I've been browsing the forum for related issues, but I have not found any solution :(

    Thanks in advance,

  • Satellite A300 is not BIOS self-test

    Hello!

    My laptop does not pass the test in the BIOS. "Toshiba Leading Innovation" inscription does not disappear. So what to do?

    The buttons are not active.

    Hello

    This means that your screen is completely black and you see anything? Which is strange, but you can try this workaround:

    -Try to remove the battery and the AC adapter
    -Wait at least an hour or overnight (no battery and adapter must be connected)
    -Reconnect battery and AC adapter
    -Try to start as usual Notepad

    If the same problem occurs, you must contact an authorized service provider. It seems to be a hardware problem :(

    Hello

    Are you sure that you have set the BIOS password?
    If you set the BIOS password then the laptop would request the password before it would start in Windows Vista.

    I think that set you the password of the user or supervisor password!

    In Toshiba Assist-> Secure you could erase that two passwords too.
    Please check this!
