• Satellite A300 - pad touch dead after update BIOS 2.20

  Hello

  exact model is Satellite A300 PSAGCA-06M01N under Win XP.

  I had a problem with the webcam, and I read in the forum that it can be solved by a BIOS update. so, I advanced and downloaded the latest version of the BIOS on the site of toshiba, especially for my laptop model. It went quite well with no error.

  However when the computer restarts after that the BIOS updated my touchpad no longer works.
  I went to Device Manager and could still see the Synaptics touchpad device and it says "this device is functioning correctly. but its completely dead and will not respond with the 2 keys. before I updated the BIOS I never had any problems with it.

  I tried FN + F9, nothing helps. plugged in a USB mouse and it works without any problem. In fact, when I plugged in the mouse the synaptics software says "Deactivation of the key because of the external pointing device" for the device driver for the touchpad works.

  If I remove the mouse, it will say the touchpad is restored, but it still doesn't work. restarted several times and still the same problem. went into BIOS and chose "default" not still a no go.

  Can someone offer any advice or ideas please?
  I really need the touchpad for the way I use the laptop...

  Hello

  In many cases, the touchpad (pointing device) can be enabled and disabled in the BIOS.
  I think you should check if this option is available in BIOS and if so, check whether it should be enabled.

• Satellite A300 is completely dead, no lights, no power at all

  I checked th AC and power cable adapter, but the unit does not power upward. There is no sign of it being connected to a power source.

  No light. The plug of the power cord plugs into is wiggle a little put the PIN is stable.
  Any suggestions?

  > Any suggestions?
  There must be a serious problem with electronic power (motherboard) so I guess there is nothing you can do about it. Bring it to the Toshiba service and ask for help.
  In such cases mainboard needs to be replaced, so it can be very expensive for you.

  Maybe it's time for the new laptop computer.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 "Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD" upgrade

  We have a Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 (bought on 23-11-09) that came with Vista Business 32-bit installed, but has been downgraded (using the provided diskette) to Windows XP due to the demands of corporate network.

  When Windows 7 became available, I bought the DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 Toshiba provided so that if the company decided to upgrade to the new operating system, we could do it on this laptop.

  That's what I tried recently to discover that we can't do as the DVD is for Win Vista upgrade Windows 7 Pro. What is the best way to upgrade without having to buy another drive to upgrade. I have a set of recovery disks for an another Toshiba SatellitePro A300 - 2 4 which was bought about 2 months before this one. These were created using the Toshiba recovery software before any changes have been made on the laprop. Would I be able to restore the system to its state of Windows Vista using these disks and then use the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD to make the upgarde?

  Suggestions or recommendations would be greatly received.

  This upgrade package offered by Toshiba is upgraded from Vista to Win7. So if you want to use it, you must install Vista recovery image at first.

  After that, you can upgrade pre-installed Vista to Win7 following the Toshiba s implementation instructions.
  I did the same thing my Qosmio X 300.

  If you cannot use created recovery disc either s order Toshiba Vista recovery disk or (perhaps the best solution) install the clean version of Win7. A300 is fully supported for Win7 and you can download all the necessary drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.

• Module need Bluetooth for Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4

  Hello world

  I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a * module Bluetooth * which would be compatible with my Satellite Pro * A300/2 4 * portable. I'd get a small dongle but I was hoping to get something that was out of the way and view and no need to connect and reconnect when necessary. The model above mine (Satellite Pro A300-28R) _ has Bluetooth but I can't find more information.

  Can just install the module form of the model above on mine? My laptop has bluetooth program already installed on it.

  Thank you

  + Bam +.

  Hello

  A300 - 2C4 does not support the internal BT module
  I'm not very well if the motherboard supports a miniPCI for BT m module slot
  Usually it should support, but I recommend to ask the technician ASP in your country.
  Here, you can order the necessary BT miniPCI module and could request the installation

  I would not recommend upgrading yourself because you will need to disassemble the laptop and this means you lose the warranty!

• Satellite A300 restarts randomly when it is plugged in power chords

  I know it has been on many topics and forums before but-

  Satellite A300 Toshiba registered repairman after only another technician claimed the question was the motherboard.

  So a new hard drive had to be replaced (it was old age) by registered repairer.

  Graphics card died - map is part of the motherboard = motherboard replaced.

  Supposed to win - phone to make sure everything is well = "there still the issue."

  QUESTION = RANDOM COMPUTER RESTARTS WHEN THE POWER CORD IS PLUGGED

  Don't forget not that the shop has been informed of the initial question
  1. phone call.
  2. by myself (wife) when I dropped the camera repair
  3. in the drop by my husband via phone
  4. by myself at diagnosis
  5 once again by my man when diagnostics
  6. by my man when he discussed the hard drive with 2 people at the store options
  7. after replacing hard drive
  8. by myself when new montherboard was "mandatory".
  9. my man at the same point

  So you can imagine today is both 10th, 11th and 12th, the store has been said that they do not listen

  I got to say REGISTERED REPAIRER WHAT TOSHIBA to TROUBLE THE PROBLEM!

  NOW for my NEXT question.

  On all THE forums I have read about it, I always come back to the same answer - replace NEC/CATHERINE Proadlizer

  However, in looking at the published images and instructions I now get the image that this is part of the motherboard also. This is why I wonder how actually to our brand new motherboard installed days ago!

  If the capacitor is part of the motherboard I think which was replaced why this question is STILL being implemented?

  If not where is it located?

  At our graphics card on the old Board REALLY dead?
  Or was this like the last technician and as demonstrated - surprisingly not listening?

  All related information (and directions to give the tech) would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I'm really sorry to hear that you have such problems after Exchange of motherboard and I really don't understand why service is not properly check and test the features of the laptop.
  To discuss these issues is quite complicated because we can only speculate what may be the problem and no one can say with certainty why this happens.

  In my opinion all you can do is to do some tests and try to do a rational conclusion, but in the end service should solve the problem.

  Just a few questions about described:
  Everything is OK is when you use the power supply battery?
  How it works with power supply current when the battery is removed?
  Start the machine and enter the BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and check if computer laptop turns off again?
  What operating system do you use? Are you using the original OS that you got with the A300 or clean install of the OS?

• Satellite A300 - Code atstart-up sound

  Hello

  I own a laptop Satellite A300 (6 years) which I think could be finally dead! When I switch on, I get 1 long and 2 short beeps and a black screen. There is no symbol 'pie' below the scroll key, but all other lights are working.

  Is it finally time to buy a new laptop or can it be saved? It happened without warning

  I think that the graphics card is dead. Usually a video card in mobile machinery can be fixed, and in such cases, entire motherboard must be exchanged.

  To be honest, it's time for the new laptop computer.
  But before you throw, you can try to buy model identical laptop on eBay with faulty display or anything else, but if the motherboard is OK you can share and be your machine again in life.
  The A300 models are not more expensive and on eBay, you will find a lot of them. Just be sure he has the part number the same as your A300.

  My A300 is the PSAG8E model.

• Satellite A300 - no power light and won't turn on

  Hello:

  My satellite A300 fell off my office. It has been disconnected.
  A few hours later, I tried to turn it on, but does not work when I plug the ac cable lights that turn on normally.
  Ive opened to check if there is nothing broken, but it seems all good.
  What can I do?

  My battery is dead, so I can't do anything with it.

  on the virtual path that is not easy to say what the problem is here, but if there is no reaction and led DC is not on I assume that there is a problem with the power of electronic power supply on the motherboard.

  Visually, everything can be OK, but some connectors are probably damaged.
  Repair (Exchange motherboard) is quite expensive, so I think you should sell it on eBay and get any other machine.

  Satellite A300's beautiful machine, and you can get another A300 used on eBay for about 100-150 Euros.

• Satellite A300-16W - now blue screen on system

  I have Satellite A300-16W 21 months and so far my cooler was also changed HDD, screen was dead (had to be changed to), was to motherboard, then I had the problem with the battery charging and which had to be fixed too. Now, the whole system cracked, blue etc screen. So far, this computer was nearly 160 days for services and I'm really disappointed with toshiba, because this is the worst computer I've ever had. I lost very important data twice because this computer.

  What to do now? I think it would be fair for toshiba to give me a computer of the same price I paid for this one because it is obvious that it has and it will be a lot of major problems and failures.

  Hello

  I can understand you, Milosh. It seems that you don t luck with your Satellite A300 but I think that if an individual case. I've ever read in the forum about these problems on the Satellite A300 and friend of me has also the same laptop but without any problem.

  You know that nobody is perfect and laptop use a lot of electrical parts and no one can say how long they life.

  If you are not satisfied, you can buy a laptop. That is your choice but don t forget these things can happen with other laptops too. Of course that's not normal, but theoretically it can happen with other mobile / manufactured too.

  About your important data, I can only say, make a backup from time to time!
  Which is the most important thing you need to do. Use a good backup software Acronis True Image. Installation and configuration of such tools to take just a few minutes, but if you use them, you are on the safe side! :)

• WLan connected but receives no package - Satellite A300

  Hey my model is Satellite A300, which I went down to XP. After not using my laptop for two weeks, my wireless is dead and will not work.

  Problems:
  1. it used to automatically detect IP and DNS and gateway and all that, but no more

  2 so I put in place manually and that it is connected now - but still, it doesn't receive all packets, even if it sends packets.

  It's painful sssssssssssssooooooo... Help, please.

  Oh, by the way

  -Correct encryption
  -Good wireless driver
  Œuvres-LAN
  -J' tried to format my computer - that didn't work
  -Use all the drivers of Toshiba Europe, Australia, and Intel Web sites
  -Can connect to the network but not the Internet.
  -test of ping with my manual Gateway - 4 received, 4 sent, none lost

  Thank in advance for your help!

  Reset you the router? Unplug the power connector on the router, wait 10 minutes and then plug it. Maybe it still works.

  Check the settings in the router and windows. All devices must use the same standards.
  Search on the Toshiba site, if you have the newest BIOS and check if the TCP/IP settings are on automatically and in the router.
  Try turning off the router MAC address filter.

• Satellite A300-1GC - turn off when I play games

  Hello

  I try to explain my problem (I'll try because English isn't my motherlanguage wull so hards to ensure that you understand me Hi!).
  Usually I use my Satellite A300-1GC also for two or three days (I watch divx on tv and other small applications, but nothing special) and never happened to me that yesterday was happing!

  I installed a game (Jekyll & Hyde) and I played it with the pc cable hook up to electricity. After a while (I think only an hour) the computer turns off! After that was not possibel to turn it on nothing! No light was on the same battery icon nothing complitely dead! After about 10 minutes instead of the icons light was on and so I was able to restart the computer. Windows XP doesn't give me any error on the "blackout" reports the system. I restarted the game and play with him for about two hours without any problem! If you have something (hihihihi) understud my question is:

  Whay you do that I can do so that this accident will not happen more? Is there some test or newspaper or something similar I can read to see if there is any hardware/software problems? May need a BIOS update? I mean, is there anyone who have the same laptop and have similar experience and sort it out with an update?
  On short time I'm planing to install windows 7 (two DVDs I received from Toshiba) but first I must address this problem.

  I thank the of in advance for help

  PS: Once again at 11:36 the laptop shut down whenm I played :(

  Hi Helen_1,

  Usually, if the laptop shuts down during a game, it s caused by a higher internal temperature to protect the equipment.

  I put t know how long you already have Satellite A300, but usually the laptop must be cleaned every 3 months using a jet of compressed air. You will find here in the forum how an article on this subject:
  [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

  Also make sure that this new Toshiba Web site display driver is installed.

• Need new battery for Satellite A300-009

  I have a Satellite A300-009 and the battery is dead. I looked on ebay and there are lots of batterys for Satellite A300, but in the models list, there all models but my A300-009.

  Question is, can I just get any battery that says supports a different model of A300?

  > Question is, can I just get any battery that says supports a different model of A300?
  Theoretically yes, but what you can do is check the battery on the battery part number and use Google to find an online store where you can order. I recommend buying the original Toshiba Toshiba logo on it battery.

• Satellite A300 think button is held down and starts (long)

  Hey sorry it's long, but I'd really like some help,

  OK, so I was wondering if there is a way to solve this problem...

  I was on my Satellite A300 (just over a year) last night playing Left 4 Dead 2 demo using stream network and everything suddenly co-op Online camera Assistant window opens minamising Left 4 Dead 2.

  I found it strange because I had closed the sidebar of popup for Camera Wizard at startup so that there would be no popup and do exactly what he did...

  Then after be confused I just clicked on Left 4 Dead 2 and thought 'I'll deal with that in a sec... When Left 4 Dead 2 she maximized again, (it took a few moments where there is a black screen and about 1 second of audio loopback), I couldn't play physically, but I could watch the game in a special mode that allows to pause and let HAVE succeed for a while. Also the game in chat window has increased.

  I was at the first try just click the button disable control DO but the game wouldn't answer. Then section entered the window of my cat began to fill with ' black so I tried to get rid of them. All I could do was culminating with my mouse, then more ' zaeza them would replace.

  After trying for a while and Ctrl + Alt + Del Alt + F4 with no response except for the ' black poor computer must be stretched with Left 4 Dead, I decided open and Stream, Illistratror and the camera open in the background then I pressed the power button (set to stop on my computer) and waited...

  Left 4 Dead 2 closed, as camera Assistant, I think... and then it froze little so I just held down the power button (sorry, I know it probably wasn't the best move) and my laptop is off...

  Well, when I tried to turn it back on the screen black "Toshiba Leading Innovation" appears along with the small footer explaining what to do F2 and F12. After that, the screen switches to the small blinking text bar thing (sorry I dunno what it's called...) but the bar flashes and stays there for about 4-5 seconds and then blinks and the new, although it seems slightly duller in color) and then only once (from the computer even if the headphones are plugged) and Yes... I need to disable...

  Remembering of the ' Melissa I assumed that the computer was not happy that 'u' button was held down at startup so keep in mind that the fron keys are actually removable, I (very carefully) removed the front "u". Everything looked "normal" under... (I compared it to the key 'y') and so he presses a few times and re-places of the façade. On count it... Same thing happened...

  I then tried to take out the battery and then put it in to see if this would help... Again, the tone has played... I have unplugged my iPod, took on the CD and removed the memory card to see if it would help... It didn't unfortunately.

  So next I tried to turn on the whist of the computer by pressing the 3 keys (I thought it might cancel the 'u' key) key maintained abd "b + n + m". The first time I did this boot manager Windows open instead of the ring. I have Windows Vista so when I tried to continue pressing "enter" nothing happened... Then I turned off the computer and tried again (this time with q + w + e as I thought maybe hold b + m starts Boot Manager). This Windows error recovery time is displayed with the options; Safe mode, Mode safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt Mode and start Windows normally. Yet once Enter would not work... And this is my time so far...

  Please help if you can >: I'm afraid if I take on a Japanese person Compute they will wipe everything...

  Thank you

  Rochelle

  (again, I'm sorry this is so long but I thought people might wan't details...)

  Hello

  You can try to start windows in safe mode by pressing the F8 key and then choose Safe mode.
  Then windows should start only using certain necessary processes
  If the history is related to the issue of software then you should be able to start safe mode

• High temperature CPU on my Satellite A300

  I got my Satellite A300-1OM for a week now and I'm happy with it. I use it mainly for MS Office and internet. When it is idle, the time CPU (verified by hardware sensors app) vary from 38 to 45 degrees. However, after a few hours of nothing but MS Office and the net (or sometimes just the net), I noticed the hot feeling of laptop and the time went up to 70 degrees, even though the CPU usage is quite low. Should I worry about this? What causes the time to go to the top? The portable little died due to overheating and I hope it lasts a while.

  EDIT: the cpu is a Core2Duo T5800. I do not use youtube and other sites heavy process.

  Thank you!

  > The last few laptops are dead due to overheating...
  Hmmm... How to understand this? I don't know how you use your A300 Satellite, but I use my for the same purposes (office work) and the laptop runs for hours. It is placed on the desktop, the ventilation openings are free and portable can catch its breath.

  Of course, I noticed also that mobile is hot on both sides of the touchpad, but it is nothing unusual, whereas there are placed disks.

  So I just hope that you use your laptop on the same path and not on the bed or your lap with blocked in the lower cooling fan.

  To be honest, these tools are OK, but you can't believe them 100%. Anyway watch carefully what happens in the future and if you think that the temperature is too high contact nearest authorized service provider and ask for help.
