• Satellite A300-276 - requires BIOS password

  Hello, recently I have acquired a Satellite A300-276 with insydeh2o BIOS.

  The BIOS Setup asks for password to access. I tried some stuff, like shorthing b500 (it clears cmos, but it does not remove the password). Also updated the version of the bios to the latest version on csd (2.2). I can always start, I am not able to configure it.

• 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 - 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.

  Good bye

• 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:

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

  I would like to find a hd that does not exceed 45note ° with all night, video editing and long scan and which will be very quiet...

  Thank you

  > 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

• 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 :(

• Satellite A300 - Question about BIOS password

  Hello

  on the machine, I had a bios password set for the start.
  After that I put this password empty start it asks me for some other password enter the bios menu.
  I am able to boot up the laptop, launch Vista and do what I want to do besides enterering the Bios.

  Advice to solve this problem?
  Tried to update the bios, did not help.
  Looked in the internet for a description where to find CMOS batt. Still no idea.

  Best regards
  Rob

  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!

• Satellite A300 - 15 d - must BIOS for Intel virtualization technology?

  Hi all.

  Satellite A300 - 15A has the BIOS option to enable or disable the Intel virtualization technology?
  He has a capable T9300 processor for virtualization technology, so it is logical that its BIOS should have this option.
  (I have A300-01:00, but its T5850 have VT is supported, so there is no option in the BIOS)

  Thank you, Andy

  > Satellite A300 - 15A has BIOS option to enable or disable the Intel virtualization technology?
  Have you checked all BIOS options? I mean, why ask you? Use the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings and check all the options available on the Advanced tab.

  For example: my Satellite A300-1LI has Intel Virtualization Technology option.

  For me it s really amazing because something like that never happened to me and I have updated the BIOS very often

• Satellite A300-20 b - Touchpad does not work after BIOS update

  I've updated the BIOS on my Satellite A300-20 b latest version 2.00. Update succeeded, but when I rebooted system touchpad has stopped working.

  I tried to find the solution, resettled drivers (windows XP system). In the Windows Device Manager there is no problem with Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad, I see. Software Synaptics shows no problem I can enable and disable the touchpad, but it does not work for the touchpad. I tried Linux live CD and in this system does not work as good touchpad. I think there is problem in this version of the BIOS.

  Does anyone have the same problem?

  Hey Buddy,

  Have you tried to turn the touchpad on or off if you press FN + F9? Check this please!
  Also, try to load the default settings in the BIOS.

  What happens if you connect an external mouse to the laptop? It work?

  I can t imagine that the BIOS update causing this problem. If it doesn't work, you need to contact a service provider for help. They can check the touchpad and replace.

  Hello

  I searched a bit on the site of Toshiba, and with Google, but I could t find Satellite A300-JJ. Are you sure that it s Satellite A300-JJ?
  I ask this question because I wanted to learn more about this laptop.

  However, for me, it looks like a driver problem. I recommend you to install the most recent * Windows 7 driver * you can find the Toshiba site for your laptop. It is the most recent works also under Windows Vista:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Please try and post your result. I have too many Satellite A300 and before that I've upgraded to Vista I also installed the Windows 7 driver to make it work under Vista.
