Satellite A300 - GPU problem

• Satellite A300 cpu problem

  Hi all, I had a Satellite A300 under Vista 32 bit

  I posted in this forum earlier on my reboot loop problem
  (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=77256&stqc=true)

  I finally found that my laptop is fine when it is in safe mode, or when running only on battery
  Once I plug the power that the loop comes back, I saw in another post that disable both processors in Device Manager can solve the problem, and it worked for me!

  However, I want to do a factory restore because my OS is corrupted badly enough (probably due to virus?), many services can not start and also access no internet

  Problem is when I do the factory recovery, the processor driver will probably settle at some point my laptop won't fall through the loop again and was never able to complete the recovery?

  I tried other OS like ubuntu, but problem still exist, so I don't know this isn't OS problem.

  So I would like to know:
  1. What is the difference of the CPU in operation mode/battery safe mode/AC only mode?
  2. What does the processor driver? What happens when I disabled it them?
  3. a way to set the CPU mode in the BIOS? (so I can keep the work process recovery) (I tried ' dynamic/always low' and disable "multi core processing", no help)

  I tried to fix my laptop for weeks, your help is very appreciated!

  > Problem is when I make the resumption of the factory, the processor driver will probably settle at some point my laptop won't fall through the loop again and was never able to complete the recovery?

  I think it will always be the case if you install the system using the recovery disc or own Ms.

  > 1. What is the difference of the CPU in operation mode/battery safe mode/AC only mode?

  First of all if you run the laptop computer is in safe mode, only some essential system process would load and many components non-essential are disabled.
  The processor supports also different modes (C1, C2, C3) in order to save energy for energy savings
  Each CPU has multiple power modes, and they are collectively called States C or C-modes.

  > 2. What makes the processor driver? What happens when I disabled it them?
  Its a driver essential system. Unless the driver of the CPU, the system does not recognize the CPU correctly and the processor cores.

  > . Any way to set the CPU mode in the BIOS? (so I can keep the work process recovery) (I tried ' dynamic/always low' and disable "multi core processing", no help)

  The CPU seems to be the troublemaker and I think that it should be replaced

• Satellite A300 GPU upgrade

  Hello world

  I have Satellite A300 Hi and wonder if it is possible to change a graphics card in this laptop A300 (ATI Radeon 3400HD)?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  As you can see, Cpu and Gpu upgrade is not a good idea. Even if your motherboard can handle it but the Bios is not pre-tested for her. In any case, you must contact the Asp (SAV), they can tell exactly whether it is supported or not.

• 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.

• 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

  Seems that the 64 bit Vista drivers are not available for this new series of Satellite A300-15J PSAJ4E.

  But as far as I know the laptop supports a digital media card reader that has been integrated into another series of small notebook common Multiple.
  So why you n t try some card reader controller driver Vista 64 bit published BLAH IE Satellite A210 or another series.

  I recommend you test some drivers

  Good luck

• Strange problem with ODD on Satellite A300

  I have a TOSHIBA SATELLITE A300-1EC, since a few days.

  Whenever I try to open a DVD or CD in the DVD drive, the disc is ejected.
  Please let me know the possible reasons. I have to approach the seller for repair because it is covered by the warranty or is der the possible ways I can try myself to use the CD / DVD-ROM, I mean as in checking the drivers etc.*

  Best regards Mathew

  Maybe you should offer the best explanation.

  Which player do you use?
  What happens when you put the DVD movie in the DVD player and close it?
  Usually, you should get the option to choose the player and after you click OK and film should start.
  You have any problem with original CD music and DVD movies or perhaps some self-made media?

• Satellite A300 - voltage to the Mexico problem

  Currently, I use my Satellite A300 in Europe (I bought it here too), where the voltage is 230V.
  I go to the Mexico and I would like to take this laptop with me.

  However, in Mexico, they have a different voltage - AFAIK 100-127V.
  Is it enough to buy the new adapter arriving at the Mexico?

  Thanks for the reply!

  Hello

  AFAIK all Toshiba laptops are equipped with adapters that supports an entry universal voltage 100 ~ 240V 50/60 Hz.

  As you can see, the input voltage may be between 100V and 240V. I think that you will have no problem to the Mexico ;)
