• 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?

• Satellite A300 - CPU & GPU upgrade questions

  Hello everyone!

  I have a satellite A300-1 to 9 (Intel Core 2 Duo T8300, Ati 3650, lcd WXGA 1280 * 800, 2 discs hard etc.) running Windows XP + SP3 + utility Toshiba etc...

  These are my questions...

  (1) can I upgrade the CPU Core 2 Duo P8400?
  (I know that T8300 and P8400 use the same socket)

  (2) can I put my screen WXGA (1280 x 800) with a WXGA + (1400 * 900) or WSXGA + (1680 * 1050)?
  How will this affect the battery consumption?

  (3) having the computer plugged (a/c power), when I close the lid, the computer goes into sleep mode.
  When I open the lid, the computer wakes.
  Unfortunately, the computer is running on battery power is not the case... I opened the lid and nothing happens,
  I have to press the power button for pc to wake up...

  can I fix?

  Thanks in advance...

  Satellite A300's newest model of laptop and I wonder how you feel about this hardware upgrade after so little time to use.
  In General, these upgrades are probably possible, but certainly not supported by Toshiba.
  In other way such radical update as a poster of upgrade is absolutely not logical for me. You probably know how expensive these parts are.

  In my opinion, should you sold your laptop and buy new with exact material you like to have.

  What about the last question? Please check all settings in the control panel and make sure that you have chosen the right option when the notebook is on battery or plugged in.

• Satellite A300-202 - problems with alternating current

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite A300-202 a few months ago and I'm having intermittent problems with alternating current.

  Sometimes I plug the AC power and it does not start (the led are off and windows says that it is on battery) charge. Other times, he is in charge and suddenly stops.

  I suspected it might be the cord broken inside, but it seems to happen also when no one touches it. Usually, when it stops to load, I unplug the wall, wait a few seconds and plug in again, and it starts to load correctly never stop again.

  Someone at - it had a similar problem? I wonder if is it possible to just replace the parts to AC power so I won't have to send the laptop for repair.

  Thank you

  Pedro

  Hello

  I've never had a problem with my Toshiba Chargers but an old non - Toshiba power adapter died after 6 months of use. After the replacement, it works without any problem.

  I think you should check the update of the BIOS as mentioned by Akuma, but for me, it looks more like a problem with the AC adapter.
  So if the BIOS update help t doesn't, the adapter should be checked permanently.

• Satellite A300-1EG: problem with the touchpad after installing Windows 7

  Hello!

  I had a problem with my touchpad since I installed Windows 7 (64-bit version) on my laptop (Toshiba) A300-1EG.

  I tried many different solutions to this problem.
  I checked the alignment of the touchpad (be it on) in the BIOS, I tried to install several drivers (on a site of Synaptics, automatically by Windows) and none of these work. Of course, I tried FN + F9 key combination.
  When I check the alignment of the touchpad in the Control Panel, everything seems fine. It is written, that "device working properly.

  I have Toshiba Software, what may be the cause of the problem?
  But I have no idea where I can find something.

  I'd appreciate any help.

  I hope to be understandable - English is not my mother tongue :) Thank you very much in advance for any ideas. :)

  Hi mate

  I'm not quite sure what problem you have but you should first try to install the necessary drivers touchpad m.
  Maybe you used the wrong driver in the past

  So Sat A300-1EG belongs to the series of PSAG4E.
  The European driver Toshiba page does not provide a special touchpad driver for Win 7 for this device.

  But I noticed that Win 7 64 bit drivers touchpad (Alps & Synaptics) for Satellite L500 PSLS3E series is released on the European driver page.
  Try both drivers Touch Pad for this device and test it!

• Satellite A300 - overheating problem

  Hello

  has taken delivery of a 2nd hand (use of the lamp) A300-1hv... whenever I run whatever whether in intensive the laptop overheats and stops.
  Fan speed shows all cores clocked at 65 c with normal use... and running Nero or similar it pierces upward and it dies on me...

  Now, I managed to understand the power of Vista (finally) settings and assured that he was on a maximum cooling but she still dies...

  Here are my questions

  1. how strong is the fan on these things, I can bearly hear mine all the time and never hear a difference?

  2. is there any application able to handle this better?

  3. someone else has this problem and found a solution

  4. it's less than a year even though I'm not the original owner is still valid warranty for me?

  Thank you for taking the time to read this and thanks for your replies

  Before you do something, you should try to clean the laptop first using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans then.
  You can buy this from a local computer dealer.

  Clean from time to time my laptop and I can confirm that the jet of compressed air is very helpful and easy to handle.
  Try it and the laptop will not overheat again.

• Satellite A300-1JJ, problems with Vista32

  Nice day
  I would apriciate if somebody help me.
  When I used Winxp32 had no problem, but when I installed Vista32 some problems appeared:

  (1) I can't use the multimedia buttons because I have an empty field in Toshiba assist-optimization-> Toshiba > buttons-> name of button. So, it shows me as there are no buttons at all. Version 1.1.14 VAP. I reinstalled 2 times. The second time I did it after installing the OS. But the name of the 'button' field is always empty.
  What should I do?

  (2) in Windows XP, I used Toshiba Power, utility so I could fix the multiplier of x6\x8\x10\x12 optimization perfomance\temperature\noise processor core. In this case the multiplier was constant and not changed (there is also possibility to use the multiplier changing, i.e. x 6 - x 8, x 10, x 12 6 - x 6 - x, but I used a fixed).
  Here in energy saving of Vista I have just minimum and maximum processing power in percentage. But really limit superior only set maximum State only, so I can't difficulty multiplier, but just so I get x 6 - x 8, x 6 - x 10 or x 6 - x 12, but x6\x8\x10\x12 not fixed. Should what program I use to fix it?
  The same problem with the fan controller. There are 3 fan-States in xp, but only 2 under Vista. Why?

  I don't understand why the laptop, which is designed for Vista has worst prospects for soft in the last in Winxp.

  Best regards

  Hello

  At first, I want to know how you installed Vista 32 bit.
  Have you installed with the Toshiba recovery image?

  The fact is that when you use recovery image all Toshiba tools and utilities will be installed properly and you will be able to use all the options including multimedia keys. Installation of VAP is the right solution, but I don't understand what the problem is here.

  On energy savings, I say follow: Toshiba Power Saver under Windows XP Home edition is not under Vista. Under WXP Toshiba has included more options for the power settings allow the best optimization. Vista is different and several power supply options are now controlled by Vista. Toshiba has included only several options to provide the best optimization.

  I use Vista und also power Toshiba, method of cooling in particular settings. I put it to the minimum and portable works really quiet.

  It has nothing to do with the possibilities for better or worse. Let's see how this will be done in Windows 7.

• Satellite A300-211 - ACPI overheating

  Hello

  Recently my laptop overheating to frequently. I had this problem before and I bought the cooling package and everything was fine. But now, despite the external cooling device he stil stops. I run SpeedFan to see what is causing this problem. Two hearts runs at an acceptable temperature. But there is that this thing called ACPI - Temp1. Exactly what is it? I used compressed air to clean fan and what I was able to clean with keyboard just disassembled.

  I do complete the cleaning? And last question. Is this fan the only source of cooling in my netbook
  I mean it's the only thing I should replace if cleaning does not work?

  Friend of mine has a similar problem with Satellite A300. Problem was overheating and suddenly switch offs. I disassembled the laptop and cleaned the area of cooling fan and cooling rack. It was full of dust and cooling rack was blocked by dust.

  After cleaning laptop was able to catch his breath and he has worked quietly and without compromise.
  I imagine that your laptop is also full of dust and must be cleaned but not using compressed air. Believe me, it must be disassembled cleaned in professional way.

  I must also say that the disassembly can be dangerous if you do it yourself. Something may be damaged so maybe you shouldn't do it yourself. Try to find someone who can do it for you.
  Accredited maintainer can do for you also but I can't say how much it costs. Contact and ask how it works.

• Satellite A300 - 1-3 - question on CPU Fan

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 3, recently I had problems with my laptop in which the laptop suddenly stops working, when I checked the forum, I was advised to clean the cooling system, which I did and all is now ok; recently, I noticed that CPU fan stops momentarily, then back to work, is this correct?

  If this is not the case, what should I do, should I replace the CPU fan? Or what?

  As far as I know CPU fun is running automatically and it will run when this is necessary so that the fan behavior is nothing unusual.

  If your laptop works well and, after cleaning, you didn t notice any more close I think that everything is OK.

• Satellite A300-1DB CPU Fan is boring, too strong

  Hi all

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-1DB today in a German (580 euros) and I really like the design of laptops and performance, but there is a big problem I can not bear more (and I used it only for 2 hours).

  The CPU fan on the left side of the laptop is annoyning Yes: even if I keep the laptop idle (CPU activity is very low, just under 10% and 1 GB of ram used), the CPU fan is really really strong spinning for a minute.

  After that there is silence, a great silence... for 2 minutes. And then the whole process starts over and over again. Just cold air comes out.

  It's make me crazy, that the CPU in the idle mode fan is stronger than my other Satellite A210 - 106 Turion X 2-52 L with full activity of the CPU. I wish to have a CPU fan that keeps spinning in a low sound.

  Do you have ideas about how to control the fan?
  Otherwise I try to replace it with another laptop (I hope they allow that, unfortunately, it is not an Internet shop where you can send it back up to 14 days)

  Kind regards
  Dieter

  I managed it successfully using balanced power management and using battery optimized for cooling method option. This setting you will find, under advanced power settings > Toshiba Power Saver utility.

• Satellite A300-1IE - CPU usage high with Bluetooth active

  Hello!

  I recently installed Windows 7 and the Toshiba Software Installer on my Satellite A300-1IE.

  I have a problem with the bluetoothmanager, it's more than double the CPU usage when turned on. When I close the CPU usage goes down.
  This is not normal?

  When the BT active CPU usage is 9 to 15% and when not 1-3%

  Seems to be high. Try an update of the Bluetooth stack.

  Ensure that you answer the question during the uninstallation, if all configurations should be removed, with Yes.

• Satellite A300-20 b and cooling problem

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300-20 b and I have a cooling problem. Since I have this laptop I ve been tracking the temperature of the CPU and found out I got the maximum temperature was about 80 c. The strange thing is that the cooler starts only when the CPU reaches this high temperature, if it isn't the cold remains off.

  Another weird thing is that once it is not blocking the cooler starts. It stops only if I restart or shut down the computer. Is this normal? Should I worry about something? Thank you very much for your answers.

  OS: Windows 7

  Have you noticed the same thing with the settings and Vista preinstalled laptop?

• Hypernating Ubuntu 8.1 + suspend problems on satellite A300-15 has

  I got a Satelite A300-15A and I installed the top Ubuntu operating system. But every time that I put it to suspend or hypernate, it starts again.
  When I press the power button I get a black screen with glitch (green stripes on top)

  Any ideas on how to fix it?

  Hello

  It is not easy to offer a solution to this. Satellite A300 is not supported with this problem and Linux, you're on your own.
  Check some Ubuntu forum. You're more likely to get good advice there.

  Otherwise, if Ubuntu works well you should be happy about it. This little problem shouldn't be that important to you.

  Hello

  Personally, I don't play game at all. About your problem, maybe you need to install x 11 Direct:

  Check if the version of counter-strike you are playing is compatible with Windows 7,
