• Satellite A300 - cannot locate any wireless network

  Hi all

  I just bougth today a Satellite A300, everything works fine except the wireless access. Ethernet access works very well, and the problem is not with my wireless device since it works with my old laptop.

  It cannot locate any wireless network. It does not appear to be activated WLAN and I don't know how to enable it in the BIOS.

  The swicht wireles on the front of the laptop is turned ON, but not the function Fn + F8 appearing at all.

  Can anyone help please?

  What you mean with this WLAN is in the BIOS not enabled? Normally, you can change all BIOS options then try to activate it.
  Also make sure that the WLAN switch is on and active with FN + F8.

  Visit the Toshiba for a driver and the update to the BIOS:

• Satellite A30 - cannot set up the binding wireless modem

  Hello
  I have a satellite a30. I just upgraded to broadband and cannot configure the WiFi wizzard. the modem is working perfectly thanks to threads, but cannot set up wireless despite my efforts! Please can someone help?
  see you soon
  Claire

  Hello

  What's the problem?
  You are not able to see the thread or what?

  Are you sure of the laptop and built-in wireless network card?

  Remember that the WiFi card is optional on the Satellite A30 and not all models includes the Wlan miniPCI card
  Thanks for posting more details!

  PS; If the laptop supports a WLan card internal, you should check only that steps;

  -Check if the WLan adapter is enabled on the laptop. Activate the switch on the side of the laptop and the FN + F8 key combination!
  -Check if the windows own WLan configuration is marked
  -Be sure that you use the right WLan encryption and whether encryption is supported by WLan modem (router) and wireless network card
  -Check if the standard 802.11 WiFi, B or G is accompanied by WLan modem (router) and wireless network card
  -Make sure that the router MAC filtering option has been disabled!

  As you can see all of these options are important to connect to the wireless LAN.

• Satellite A300 - cannot find the drivers for Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello!
  I'm of the Greece so I apologise for any errors of syntax, I can do.
  My girlfriend has the Satellite A300 PSAJ4E but his hard disk was destroyed, so I bought him a new (WD Scorpio Black 500 GB) and I downloaded the original Windows 7 MSDNAA to install on the laptop.
  The problem is that it doesn't have the drivers cd so I have to find them on the internet. The other problem is that on the Toshiba official support site it is not found the laptop or the drivers for it.
  So please help me find them. Or tell me if I can insert some of the other Toshiba laptop drivers to it.
  I am ready to format and everything and I don't have the drivers.
  Thank you!

  PS. I found this site but I don't know if it is normal to download them from this site and also, I don't know if I should because I will insert Windows 7 64 bit.

• Satellite A300: cannot start: blocked by Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility

  {SUMMARY: "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility" appears every time you start, requesting a non-existent password.} How to get rid of this request? }

  This one is a little weird. We have a Tosh Satellite A300-193 mobile (Code manufacturer: PSAJ1E-01000XEN) purchased from July 2008 (via Getech educational scheme). We have (had) Kaspersky Anti-virus on this subject, but since his license has expired (and they didn't really like it), I was going to remove and install Avast.

  Kasperky removal instructions involve have their tool "kavremove" who say their instructions must be run in safe mode. So, after downloading the tool, I pressed F8 to boot into safe mode...

  ... And that's where things went wrong. Instead of typical black screen startup options screen, I got a splash screen at the level type, with a request for password of "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility. We have never set a password on this computer, and I've never seen this particular screen before. After three bad guess (of course they're wrong!, and it does not matter if I leave the field blank), the unit turns off.

  Now when I turn it on, it just goes right to the request for password of Phoenix: I hit F2, F12, F8 or whatever it is. I can't establish why it should do, or how I can possibly bypass it. None of my password guess work (of course).

  I googled for hours (literally), closes the thing, I could find were instructions in [a post on the forum USA | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Windows-Vista-Windows-XP/Satellite-A205-Cannot-Access-BIOS/m-p/123075#M7749]. It was a partial solution: we can start the machine with this procedure (phew!).

  Unfortunately, it is not a permanent solution. After EACH stop, at the next start-up presents impossible demand "password." So it comes to pull the battery (again), to the phase of "discharging", battery, turn on and - it boots. Or at least, he has every time so far.

  This is going to be extremely painful. Any tips or to tackle the problem of pointers, which would be welcome. I will never see this request for password "Setup Utility".

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think the password loss is the BIOS password.
  I m wondering why this password is displayed when starting if you have not set it

  However, the point is that the BIOS password can be removed if you n t know this password.
  Unknown BIOS password can be removed by a Toshiba authorized service partner.

• Satellite A300 - cannot open the SD card

  Hello

  as you know, I won a Satellite A300, but my card reader does not work correctly. After inserting the card, it takes a long time to identify the card, then in my computer, the symbol appears but when I click to open the symbol "SD Deca", IE the map need to layout form or 'Please insert a card in the reader. Please note that the same card get identified in the external as usual card and card reader work entirely respective mobile (for micro SD) and the camera (SD).

  If I connect the mobile / camera by usb, no problem, everything is normal.

  Please suggest me how to fix card reader?

  Thanks in advance.

  Dimitri.

  Hi smarjit1,

  Have you tried different SD cards or just this one SD card? The SD card is probably the problem, what do you think?

  In addition, I would like to try an update card reader driver. The most recent driver, you can download on the official website of Toshiba:

• Satellite A300 - cannot access the Internet more

  I would like to re - open this thread because I am facing a similar problem.
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 and I installed Windwos 7 two months ago. Yesterday, his suddenly, my laptop could not access the internet more, but the wireless lan connection worked well.
  Until this malfunction appeared in the list of active connection, there was only one entrance, my network classified as "Home network" but now, instead, there are two entry, it is my network classified as "Home network", the other is a 'unidntified network', classified as 'Public network '.

  I am sure that the problem is in my laptop and not in the adsl router because:
  1 - other people to join my network wireless with normal internet access.
  2. the problem always occurs with other networks currently used by third parties to connect to the internet.
  3 - the problem always with cable connection

  Windows reports no error.

  Thanks in advance for any assistance.
  Andrea

  Hello Andrea,

  To me it seems that you don't have an Internet connection so you always connected to the router but if you can access Internet t. You should look in the router configuration to see if it s is connected correctly.

  Try also updating the firmware on your router and disable security features to test this situation.

  Last but not least, you should try too update the wireless adapter driver. It can be downloaded on the official page of Toshiba. :)

• Re: Satellite A300 cannot start, cannot use the factory recovery

  Hi all, I have a Satellite A300, which gave me problems in the past few weeks...

  I use Windows Vista

  There are about 2 months in the beginning of the laptop problem, it restarts itself automatically before enter in windows (while in the windows loading screen, no blue screen, screen just suddenly darkens and restarts itself), but it will get finally in windows successfully after a few loops

  but about 3 weeks ago, it just keeps looping and never get into windows, good news, it is that it can capture mode safe without problem

  I've done everything I can to try and save, as play with msconfig, drivers, removing the Rams etc, but not luck

  so, I save everything in safe mode and decided to restore the machine factory, but the problem is that when I boot up the computer by pressing 0 and enters the recovery screen, reboot loop will happen!

  any idea? or y at - it another way to restore to factory without touching the windows installed in my laptop? is it a hardware problem or software?

  I thought about the creation of recovery disks but my cd drive is not working properly, and I don't want to take the risk of buying an external cd drive not knowing not if the problem can be solved...

  Thank you very much!

  >.. .i don't want to take the risk of buying an external cd drive not knowing not if the problem can be solved...
  That of right, but you must understand that it is not easy on this virtual path to offer an accurate explanation and diagnosis for your problem.

  It is not easy to tell whether it is hardware or software related issue. best way to test is installation of recovery image. Recovery image is tested and if there are no some portable hardware problem should work fine. How to install the recovery image, which you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  >.. .or is there another way to restore to factory without touching the windows installed in my laptop?
  Something like this is not possible. Windows that you use now needs to be reinstalled. I don't know why you the laptop restarts, but it's also the risk of recovery image installation. In case this recovery image installation will be interrupted, you will have two problems:
  -image of original recovery saved on your HARD drive will be unusable
  -you will not be able to start t

  In your situation the best is to minimize this risk and have original recovery DVD that can be used if something goes wrong.
  > but the problem is that when I boot up the computer by pressing 0 and enters the recovery screen, reboot loop will happen!
  Can you please explain what is exactly happening? Is - this laptop is simply cut off / go to the coast and then reboot again or what?

• Satellite A300 - cannot install the BT stack

  Hello evryone,

  I had a problem with the bt stack and the file "setupdiu.exe".

  When I try to install battery bt it tries automatically to uninstal the battery, the problem is I get the error:
  "The file Setupdiu.exe is not marked for installation.

  I looked everywhere, but the only solution given is: delete the folder "C:\Program Files Toshiba Stack.

  I got this deleted file, I got the hidden files and I tried to remove the map with CMD and all other means to delete something with her, but he tells me that the map does not exist.

  I deleted the folder bluetooth stack for windows by toshiba in my registry and restarted, this also does not work.

  I have Windows Vista Home premium (32 bit) and my laptop is a toshiba satellite A300-1OS.

  I tried the "Difficulty" of Toshiba, this installed bluetooth stack tool and I run, helped not a little.

  I really want to have this problem, because he bug on the other bluetooth software and connection.

  (Sorry for my bad English)

  I am grateful to anyone who can help,
  Live Justin

  I think the problem is, as you said, that the previous version was not properly removed. I would setup a tool such as
  "ccleaner" (free Internet) and clean your system registry and files. Maybe it works eventually. If not then your system in Mode safe start (press F8 during startup and check your system files again if some battery Bluetooth related files still exists and remove them if necessary)

• Satellite A300-247 - always off model Logo

  Hello

  have a problem I bought the computer, Toshiba Satellite A300-247.

  The Satellite logo was always in Ohcshio fire off or how it would always be a crush

  Hello!

  To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly. Do you mean the logo of the lighting of the keyboard?

  As far as I know the ignition of the laptop (multimedia keys, etc.) controls the added value the package so I think that you should reinstall this tool. You can find it on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Before installing the latest version, you must remove the older version first, and then restart the laptop. Now, you can install the new VAP.

  Furthermore, have you installed Windows updates? I had a problem with illumination after that I installed updates to Windows.

• Satellite A300-02: connection WLan keeps falling & wireless network card is disabled

  Hello..

  You just bought a new A300-02W (canada), everything works fine wxcept... wireless.
  The passing continues WiFi connection and card wifi has been disabled, I restart the computer then go through the steps of repair under Win Vista to be able to connect again.
  I went to the store and got one same one, another model and I'm having the same problem, the drivers are up-to-date, tried to Win XP and it is the same question.
  Called Toshiba tech support and they advised me to wait for the new wireless driver because the laptop I had is still new.

  Wireless card: Intel wireless wifi link 5100agn
  any idea?

  Hello

  Your laptop is a Canadian series and that's why I put t know why this WLan issue appears on your laptop, but I recommend you use and installation and driver WLan Intel page.

  In addition, you can check the portal of Toshiba Europe WLan WLan driver:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  In addition you must disable the option in the properties of card WLan (Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab CAD WLan) for energy savings
  Also check the power management tab and turn off also the option called allow the computer to turn off the device to save energy

  Finally, and especially if a newer BIOS has been released for this series then update!

  Good bye
