Satellite A300 - Freeze and deform

• Satellite A300 sizzling and crackling of smoke

  Hi guys

  My apologies in advance for my noobishness. I've had a satellite A300 for a few years now. In the last 2 days I heard a cracking sound, almost static - like noise on the side of the A300. Aside, I mean specifically the part which is a kind of metal grid - as you type, the left side, the silver metal Rack that is covered by 'sticks' plastic and conforms / spans the esc, numbers, and tab keys. Sorry for that horrible description!

  Anyway - if I heard this noise, and today I opened it from its sleep and went on Mozilla and the sizzle is gone a bit messy, and what looked like dust, or at worst, smoke, was issued by the grill. I quickly turned off and shut it down.

  It does not freeze, or now or touch the grid, it was not very hot. He has not extinguished automatically either. I turned back on it and began to Mozilla and iTunes as a test and the grill has started making a loud, grinding and bad-sounding sound of Purring. No show this time, but I turned off.

  It should be noted - my battery was very low during the past 18 months and I need the laptop on the charge to use it. Although he is in charge, the battery was on 27 percent when I turned it off. When using, my cell phone is always on the charge and Hi performance. Any ideas what it is / what I need to do? Thank you!

  Hello

  In my opinion the laptop s internal cooling and grids of modules, including the cooling fans should be cleaned.
  Generally and jet of compressed air should be good enough to get the dirt and debris removed, but I don't very well if this is useful in your case of m.

  I mean your description sounds odd question, and I think that the laptop needs to be cleaned professionally.

  So I recommend you visit some city centre of technicians for laptop or the Toshiba ASP in your country to get this cooling module cleaned in most cases, this procedure is delicate because the laptop must be disassembled so don t recommend this at home because of the risk of damaging the material.

• Satellite C660 freezes and can disable it

  My laptop is Satellite C660D with windows 7.

  I had for a month when it started freezing 3/4 minutes after I logged on, being completely insensitive with the keyboard does not not or ctrl + alt + del or the touchpad, so the only thing I could do was to disable it.
  The freezing happened whenever I was on my laptop, I used system restore my laptop back to factory conditions, and he stopped freezing. It was in June, now it started to do exactly the same thing, he has done it before, freezing and be unresponsive!

  My laptop does not freeze in safe mode, no one knows what is the problem and why it continues to freeze a month after my laptop as long as the factory restore?

  Thank you

  On this virtual path, that it is not possible to provide accurate diagnosis but it must be a software related issue. perhaps is this freezing problem related to some software you have installed or perhaps Microsoft updates.

  What you can do is to start your computer in safe mode, and then set the startup option. With other words to define what applications, utility tools aor should start with Windows 7.

  Please after THAT or the instructions of THIS do. Remove check box before all the software not associated with Toshiba and that is completely useless (can be started also).

• Satellite A300-1MC and Win7/32 bit - microphone does not work

  How do I fix this sh... problem? Need ASAP!

  Furthermore, have you installed webcam application? Have you tested the cam feature?

• Satellite A300-1GN and driver Vista x 64 support

  Hello

  I own this model for 2 days (happy?).
  However he seemes logically that if this laptop can support up to 8 GB of RAM (I bought with 4 GB) should have option to install the x 64 operating system.
  It seems, but it's not like I know. There is no drivers for x 64 on the official website of Toshiba download MS Systems.
  Well, I'm able to understand that you do not want to support Win XP x 64, because this system is aging.

  I do not understand how it is possible that every major company supports Vista x 64 to their devices and Toshiba are not.

  It seems absurd that you not deliver the proper drivers and I really can't believe that.
  I am amazing and I hope that the main reason is that the product I own is a new model and drivers soon appears.

  For example, satellite A200 has x 64 support despite the fact that it is a model lower and lower...
  I hope that we can hope that our doubts will explain, and Toshiba will be slight not their longer custommers, but bows to our requests.

  If I can be wrong to seek the necessary drivers, then want to apologize for my post.
  But if I'm wrong I'll be glad to hear the rational response and make sure the drivers coming soon!

  Hi Kuba

  Satellite A300 is one of the new series of Toshiba laptop on the market right now.
  Because most of the people uses the run Vista and Win XP 32 bit OS, drivers for these operating systems must be released first.
  I m sure that the driver 64 bit Vista will follow as other as for other series of laptops

  There is therefore no reason panic buddy

  Please reinstall the display driver and give me some feedback if it worked. You could by the way check what hardware ID is the device? The hardware ID can be seen on the tab 'Detail' of the device which is not properly installed...

• Satellite A300 - HARD and the Installation of the OS disk replacement

  Hello world

  I watched a few videos online regarding how can I do to replace the two HARD drive in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG4E-04901CEN. However, I have a few inquires before that I undertake this task:

  (1) are there any recommendation to which HARD drive should I buy for this laptop. I want something affordable with speed and relatively good ability.
  (2) how I would go about installing Windows 7 OS on the new HARD drive. I have to update my BIOS and drivers when I finished installing?
  (3) are there other guides (written or video) that you would recommend that I go through before making the replacement?

  I appreciate any help on this matter.

  A few days ago a friend of mine asked me to help. HARD on its A300 disc was defective. We bought the new 250GB SATA HDD, succeeded him, and after that, I installed Win7 32 bit.
  Now the machine works perfectly.

  Do not do anything as the BIOS update. Just put the new HARD drive and launch the installation of Win7. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Here's how I installed all the stuff on A300 friends:
  -Win7
  -chipset driver
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -driver sound
  -modem driver
  -utility supervisor
  -infrared
  -patches
  -configfree
  -VAP
  Hardware - toshiba
  Control - HDMI
  -WLAN driver

  Everything works well but lacks some drivers

  Added Vista tips:
  Toshiba - help - working properly
  -Card reader - installed correctly
  -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
  Driver - Synaptics

  Win7 works well and I am very satisfied.

  If you need help more made me know.

• Satellite A300 - temperatures and overheating

  Hey there

  I own Toshiba Satellite A300 for a year. Lately, I've noticed overheating.

  Idling, the temperature the lowest I measured using HW Monitor was 60 ° C for the processor, 50 ° C for the GPU, 42 ° C to the HARD drive. When I have several applications open, it amounts to 83 ° C for the processor and 62 ° C for GPU, during execution of system witch is quite slow. Lower part of the housing is very hot same keyboard is hot and she is uncomfortable.

  Any idea where might be a problem? Should I put it in service? Thanks for the replies.

  Andrew

  Hello

  You don't have to send it to an authorized service provider, you need to clean your laptop anytime!

  I have recommended the jet of compressed air. Blow gently and shortly the depression of the air holes of the case of the machine where the hollow air flows. This could eliminate the dust from the cooling fans.
  This procedure should be done every 3-4 months to ensure reliable operation and avoid the mistakes of the system.

  I've always used compressed air jet and I never had problems yet.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300-23d and memory upgrade

  Hi all

  I want to upgrade my laptop memory 4 GB to 6 or 8, I got the Satellite A300-23d.

  What is the best memory for me? I'll get the Win7 64 bit OS
  I understand I have to do a clean install of the operating system, so my 2 Q is where can I get all the programs of Toshiba I got with the pc?

  Thannks for the help

  Hello

  Up to 8 GB of RAM according to specification for laptop computer, you can upgrade.
  You must use the RAMs 1 GB / 2 GB / 4 GB DDR2 800 MHz. If you 2x2gb for now, you can buy 4 GB of RAM additional or maybe two of them to use maximum RAM.

  Module of RAM of 4 GB compatible a part PA3670U-1M4G number.

  Win7 drivers download page you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/windows7_drivers.jsp
  Unfortunately for your models PSAGCE drivers are not available for the moment. I'm sure that the pilots will be ready for download in the next few days. From time to time to check this page and you will see when drivers will be there.

• Satellite A300-1PH and default supervisor password

  I have a laptop that I bought only last week.
  When I press F2 when the system starts, it ask for password.
  Does anyone know the default password for the Satellite A300-1PH model?

  Laptop Toshiba computers are not locked by any type of password and history is somewhat strange.
  Perhaps you should clarify this with your local dealer.
  Purchased laptop, which was in the showroom?

  Has anyone access your laptop?

• Satellite C650 - freezing and dumps

  I have a new C650 which I use to surf the internet and basic stuff, but the stupid thing keeps freezing and dumps, why and how can I stop this?

  Hi angieback,

  I agree with you, it would be interesting to know why it is happening.

  Unfortunately, I think that no one can tell you this because no one knows what things you have installed and whether you have a virus.

  In my opinion the best way to get rid of it starts HARD drive recovery. It will reinstall Windows and restore factory settings. If it s a software problem, drive HARD recovery will solve the problem of hits.

• Satellite A65 freezes and does not answer after adding RAM

  Gents,

  My laptop Satellite A-65 has been upgraded to 512 MB RAM 1024 RAM. He acknowledged additional without any problem memory (as she should be determined according to the manual).

  But unfortunately after 1 day it started suddenly stops, images on the screen freezes, laptop does not at all - only reset (press and hold the power button / stop) can help. laptop computer sometimes is able to work 2-3 hours, but still stops.

  Cover of place of memory is rather hot, fan very often work uninterruptibly. so I can't decide if the problem is in the new map memory or not enough cooling or maybe by changing the version of BIOS (or BIOS setttings) and could be memory saturates and erases itself properly (last note was found on the forumes).

  Experts, to help find the exact reason especcially if you had the same problem.

  Hello

  I m not an expert, but I recommend you remove the new memory module and run the laptop only with the standard memory module.
  If the laptop does not cling and will not freeze then it s a very clear case for me.

  Either the second module is not compatible or defective.
  In my opinion, you need to use brand modules such as Kingston for example. The quality is much better as a module without a name.
  Use additional modules recommended by Toshiba

• Satellite A300-1MC and autonomy

  Hi all

  I've had my new laptop for 2 months now and overall I am satisfied, only 2 points of clarification I need help is the following:

  (1) when I charge the battery completely and then click the icon in the lower right of that remaining battery life is 1 and a half hours...!
  I thought the average standard was 3 hours? This means that my battery is defective? If someone else has the A300-1MC, what is your life Baker?

  (2) when I start the unit takes about 1 min and a half... I uninstalled all startup applications and the disabled unnecessary applications in the Device Manager, is there anything else I can do to speed up the start to the top?

  Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  > 1) when I charge the battery completely and then click the icon in the lower right of remaining battery life is 1 and a half hours...! I thought the average standard was 3 hours? This means that my battery is defective? If someone else has the A300-1MC, what is your battery life

  Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop computer if the CD/DVD and HARD disk then runs the battery icon will automatically show a short time working.
  Also display high brightness waste energy from the battery.

  If my laptop is running on battery power, then I decrease the brightness of the screen to a lower level. This allows to use the laptop a little longer; for about 2 hours.

  But if you want to run Notepad as long on battery so I would also recommend buying a stronger battery. for example, a battery 9 cells.
