• Satellite A300-1J1 - after the installation of Kaspersky, the camera does not work

  Since the installation of Kaspersky internet security, my webcam does not work, message appears at windows startup, saying: he needs to be reinstalled. How can I do this?

  Also any idea if the sims 3 is likely to work well on this laptop?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello!

  Reinstall the webcam driver should be easy enough. You only have to download the driver for the webcam on Toshiba driver download page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  If you have downloaded the new version, you can delete the old version in Add/Remove Programs, restart the computer, and then install the new version.

  Regarding the SIMS3, you should check the system requirements for the game first. This is a fairly new game, and the Satellite A300 is not the best gaming laptop so I think that the laptop is not fast enough for this game.

• I regret that I bought a HP laptop because of the bad cooling system

  I regret that I bought a HP laptop because of the bad cooling system and thus overheating problems.

  Yes you read right. I have a HP-G42-362LA about 2 months now and I'am living in South America where temperatures are around 30 degrees Celsius. They sell laptops here too but why?

  HP has added after the type 362, WHICH culminates to Latin America, HP knows there is a problem of heating here and it isn't only the keyboard layout. People here want a laptop as a workbook.

  Why sell laptops in a country where this temperature while HP knows THEY HAVE problems with bad cooling.

  I should have better know and got another brand.

  But now I'm stuck with him and want a solution from HP.

  When you call to them, calling on everyone and pay for it.

  Bring and pretender to the store is not an option, because I will be away the laptop for a few weeks, if it returns the question is too.

  Also, I installed a more advanced OS on it, because the standard windows 7 Home Basic Spanish, is not able to process more than 3 GB. And my data is stored on the disk too.

  So I studied the problem for the past few days and came to a few tips for those who encounter the same problem.

  I have windows 7 ultimate English 64 bit installed with an i3-M370, 4 GB of RAM and a 320 GB disk@7200rpm.

  Run fast until he dies.

  Idle temperatures of 75 to 80 degrees in a room with air conditioning, free 80 to 85 degrees Celsius.

  I use the laptop for development, internet and office. So my system demands are not so high and an i3 is sufficient.

  When I'm zipping or have a few browseractivities the internal fan begins to 80 degrees and the temperature rises quickly to 90 and the system died in sleep and includes a thermal cut-out.

  It is impossible to work with. So, who needs a quick fix.

  Of course, as my old notebook I use a base with fan too, is here, no luxury but a necessity.

  That's 5 degrees less.

  I removed the RAM door and noted that the door had a closed plastic sticker, why? The hot spot has been closed!

  -Who designed this laptop I forgot to cooling, the greatest problem to laptop computers. Not really smart. -

  Detached got 2 degrees lower. It is not possible to manipulate the voltage so I went the power options in the module of windows 7 and changed my powerplan.

  Change power settings, high performance, Powerprocesmanagement, minimum 50%, 80% maximum, OK, save the changes.

  Downloaded Trottlestop 3.30 to http://www.techinferno.com/downloads/ and run

  The value clockmodulation to 75%, chipset clock mod to 75% and mark, multiplier and mark 1 less than the maximum (for example 18 becomes 17) and mark, mark powersaver, mark EIST, mark BD PROCHOT, TPL TDP value 0 and TDC to 0 and click OK, save and turn on.

  Start the utility at any time after the start.

  Now I have a temperature slowed to 55 to 60 degrees and a temperature that loop at 88 degrees. SO I cannot DO the HEAVY STUFF or the thermal shutdown active again.

  Tomorrow, I buy another base with cooling and hope I can better work with another 5 degrees less.

  Because of my settings, I lost the i3 CPU power and he likes a 1600 Mhz instead of a 2400 Mhz machine.

  And the problem still remains.

  In my opinion:

  There must be a device to cooling inside the computer laptop and coolingroom.

  In the BIOS setup, the user must be able to reduce the tension in the allowed range for this country which enjoys a warm climate. Now, this is not possible.

  In the BIOS it owes me more possible settings account for the advanced user. It can be done with authorized beaches. Now, this is not possible.

  Hope that someone has the best ideas, but in any case I hope I could help someone until we have a more stable solution.

  As promised, I would say the endresult.

  I brought my laptop to HP Service Center and they repaired it and came back after 8 days.

  HP has replaced the fan. And of course the thermal pasta...

  And now up and running at 37 degrees Celsius and before the double near the thermal shutdown.

  But I insisted on my laptop now with all the big work in 100% of cpu power to know some of it is OK before the expiry of my warranty over 5 months.

  So don't be not shy, like I did, but now at HP with this problem. No more wasting time with relocations etc.

  HP has always think it's your fault by using the wrong drivers etc, but IT IS NOT.

• Satellite Pro A300-guest 1GT - cleaning of cooling system

  I can't find any Toshiba Satellite Pro Web site service manuals.

  The problem is that the computer becomes warm during use, the cooler works on the top speed, I'm usually solve these problems by cleaning the cooling system. HP Compaq have service manuals where all wrote - what and how open, how to clean and what screwdriver to use.

  So there are available on the Web site Toshibas maintenance manuals?

  Hello

  These service manuals are not downloadable for ordinary users of my knowledge.
  Just a Toshiba authorized service partner could download this.

  However, if you want to clean the cooling modules, then I recommend using a jet of compressed air. In my case, it always helps.

• Satellite A300-16W - now blue screen on system

  I have Satellite A300-16W 21 months and so far my cooler was also changed HDD, screen was dead (had to be changed to), was to motherboard, then I had the problem with the battery charging and which had to be fixed too. Now, the whole system cracked, blue etc screen. So far, this computer was nearly 160 days for services and I'm really disappointed with toshiba, because this is the worst computer I've ever had. I lost very important data twice because this computer.

  What to do now? I think it would be fair for toshiba to give me a computer of the same price I paid for this one because it is obvious that it has and it will be a lot of major problems and failures.

  Hello

  I can understand you, Milosh. It seems that you don t luck with your Satellite A300 but I think that if an individual case. I've ever read in the forum about these problems on the Satellite A300 and friend of me has also the same laptop but without any problem.

  You know that nobody is perfect and laptop use a lot of electrical parts and no one can say how long they life.

  If you are not satisfied, you can buy a laptop. That is your choice but don t forget these things can happen with other laptops too. Of course that's not normal, but theoretically it can happen with other mobile / manufactured too.

  About your important data, I can only say, make a backup from time to time!
  Which is the most important thing you need to do. Use a good backup software Acronis True Image. Installation and configuration of such tools to take just a few minutes, but if you use them, you are on the safe side! :)

• Satellite A300 - "password" on the splash screen

  Hello, I have a problem with my Satellite A300-14 PSAJ0E-00W00PSK.

  * Screen with input "Enter password" appears every time when I turn it on can guess when I put wrong password 3 times, my laptop turns off. I had installed windows 7 with ubuntu for 2 years with no problems, but I can't boot any operating system present (even when I boot with the CD/DVD inserted with windows/ubuntu).

  * When can I get correct password? Or there is another solution to this problem? *

  Thank you for all the advice!

  I assume that your laptop is locked with BIOS password.
  BIOS password can be set only but I put t understand your situation.
  You have blocked your notebook with BIOS password or someone did it without your knowledge.
  Do you have an explanation for this situation.

  In any case, if the BIOS password is not known to you, you must contact the nearest service Toshiba and ask for help. They can remove for you.

• Can I send by Satellite A300-y00 for the recovery procedure

  I had the problem in my Satellite A300-y00, which are viruses, trojan or more than threats.
  I would like to ask if it is possible to refer to Toshiba to reformat with a new new?
  I mean will they install the same software with everything as a new included in order to remove all the threats.

  It will cost more?

  Hello

  As I m not wrong not the A300 was equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
  This means that you can grab the laptop and set it to factory settings very easy and without use of the Recovery DVD!

  Then turn on the laptop, press the F8 key and choose the option called fix my computer.
  Then, a new screen should appear and you need to choose the last option called Toshiba Recovery or something like that.
  Then follow the instructions on the screen.

  The whole HARD drive must be formatted and new operating system with all the drivers must be installed

• 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 stops when the power adapter cable

  Hi people

  When I connect the power cable for my toshiba satellite a300, it stops immediately. I can use it on battery normally without any problems.
  When I boot in safe mode, it works fine without any problems with the AC adapter plugged into the laptop.
  Operating system is Windows Vista
  What is the reason? What can I do to fix this?

  Thank you

  Can you use it for laptop with AC power only when the battery is removed?
  If so, boot up your laptop and when the operating system is loaded to put battery inside, wait a few minutes and disconnect the power supply.
  Plug it in again and let us know if the same thing will happen again.

• Satellite A300 windows on the grid does not

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite A300 only recently begun to close without warning. I first thought this may be a virus problem, but after the execution of various virus programs I excluded it as likely a cause. Thinking that the problem can be caused by a recently installed program, I did a restore of the system without result. The problem got worse for a few weeks, and after a lot of tests and trials, I now have the following problem:. The laptop runs without problem on the farm, but if I plug my adapter, it stops a few seconds. It will run on the network in SafeMode for hours, but if I try to start it with hands attached, it will go beyond the start of Toshiba for the "bars" screen and then stop. The battery is charged, but only when the laptop is turned off.

  I have already spend a lop of time on it and have tried different adapters to exclude the possibility that it may be defective. I also disassembled the unit and clean the fans, etc.

  After reading some suggestions on different forums, I'm now trying to upgrade the bios (there is one available for this model), but have now run into a brick wall. I continue to receive various error messages when I try to update the bios. 1 insyde flash can't load the driver... He told me to run as administrator (I am), and the suggestion that it is for me, it's that I can't upgrade the Bios on battery... BUT that's all that I can run. The only time that it is running on the electric network is in safe mode, and then it won't let me upgrade the Bios. Help Help Help. The laptop is about to become landfill. The only thing I haven't done is reset to the factory setting. Suggestions for my bios problem please...

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  In my opinion the update of the BIOS would not help you to solve this power off of the issue.
  Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop must turn off not with the AC adapter.

  To be honest, I think the problem might have something to do with the motherboard.

  Usually laptops would be shut down automatically due to a higher temperature, but in your case, I doubt its problem of temperature from the laptop stops immediately start the operating system.

  Back to BIOS update issue:
  As far as I know, the adapter must be connected in order to update the BIOS. In SafeMode it s not possible to update the BIOS.

  I not quite sure if faulty RAM could bring this maybe not RAM problem, but of course, you can try to start the device using a module of RAM only Mr. you test the two Rams in each slot.

  However, if anything would help him, the technician should run some diagnostics to determine the cause.

• Satellite A300 - I lost the recovery partition

  I have satellite a300 with pre loaded Vista Home premium OS, for some reason, I had to format the entire disk and I lost my operating system recovery partition.

  Can someone help me get my operating system partition?
  I had checked with service centers, they said that I can use the BONES of similar model recovery partition.

  So I ask everyone if someone can give me the score of the OS, I would be grateful to them.

  Hello!

  I think that you do not understand something wrong.
  On Toshiba laptops, there is no recovery partition, they have HDDrecovery folder that contains factory settings.
  I have a recovery partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, not a Toshiba.
  Here is a useful link to it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinRE

  HARD drive recovery file is stored on the second partition of the laptop. You can use the disk HARD recovery function if you go into the advanced boot menu, choose repair my computer and select the recovery Toshiba HDD feature.
  But I think it's too late now

  Burn you the Toshiba Recovery disk? Normally, you can burn the original image which is stored in the file on a DVD HARD drive recovery using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. Therefore, you always get a popup that you must do this or message do not forget.

  If you don't l t this and you want the Toshiba recovery disc you must order a new one. You can do so here: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  I hope I could help you. Do you have more questions?

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 - after installing the Vista SP1 no longer start

  Hello

  I brought my Satellite A300 friends tonight to upgrade Vista to Windows 7.

  The disc of Windows 7 told me before he could upgrade the Vista would need a service pack 1, so I started to install the service pack and when he went to restart mode then it spent in step 2 restart and all of a sudden the screen went black and a load of a number appeared and it goes no further the system frozed.

  Problem now is that Windows does not start and it will not work in safe mode and I'm afraid that all my friends photo and files are now gone.

  I'm empty!

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Now, what happens if you try to start Windows? You get an error message or something else?

  Normally before you install something like a Service Pack or Windows 7 you must back up all the files first and this must be done at any time normally ;)
  I think you can only recover data if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. Then, you can save the data on another computer.

  After that, you can do a clean Windows 7 or alternative facility. install Vista using Toshiba recovery disc, then Windows 7.

• Satellite L50D-B-15Z problem with cooling system

  Hi, I have a laptop about a year ago. And for 5 months, I have a problem with the fans. Out and the following message is displayed:

  WARNING: A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the power immediately and return it for service.

  The strange thing is that the first time that is spent stopped working a week, then a month and finally stopped working until 3 months there now will not start.
  I have even the implied warranty of the product, but I didn't think to send because it takes virtually every week for classes. I can use it, but if I perform actions that require superior performance as playing the games or download several videos at the same time to start warming up, getting the message and if continuous closed finally down.
  What should I do and how can I solve the problem?

  Sorry if I do not quite understand. I do not speak English.
