• Satellite A300-1EG freezes at startup

  I recently repartitioned (some partitions, including recovery, have been removed) drive and tried to install Windows 7. During installation, after choosing the installation partition Setup stopped responding (I could move the mouse pointer, but nothing else).

  I turned off laptop by pressing the power on button for 5 seconds, but now system crashes at "Toshiba Leading Innovation" screen whenever I turn it on.

  I can't access selector installation or startup, multimedia keys are flashing when you press on, lights work and respond to plug/unplug AC. Only the HHD led is turned on, but dimmed by comparing to others. Caps lock does not, laptop turns off after pressing power, without holding it.

  Before that I had some problems with the HDD, rare file system errors and Windows XP Setup was not working (frozen after Installer message determines the configuration system and constantly read disk until you restart).

  Hello

  Well, according to you the description, a HARD disk error may be possible.
  Have you tested the HARD drive?
  Isn't it?

  Then, you should do this; There is a nice drive test tool called HARD HARD drive Fitness Test.
  You can download it from various pages just google and you will find

  If the HARD drive fitness test will detect some errors then you replace the HARD drive.

  That s my personal opinion

  Hello!

  I sometimes have the problem after sleep. When I opened the laptop only can move mouse but can't open anything and Vista freeze. Must turn off the laptop and turns on again.
  I have the latest version of the BIOS.

  How to solve the problem?

  Hello

  I never had this problem on my Satellite A300, but this happens only in sleep or hibernation mode too?

  It's really hard to say why this happens but make sure that you have installed all the software fixes for Vista and maybe you should try to reinstall Vista using Toshiba recovery disc. Maybe an application of part 3 is originally this gel.

• Satellite C660 - TouchPad freeze at startup

  Hi I'm new and this is my first post so please be gentle!

  I have a Satellite C660 with windows 7 purchased as a refurb factory it is my 1st laptop, I have a problem after startup, and everything loaded on my desktop, it seems that if I use my TouchPad too early it freezes, he did it since I bought it, but I thought it was me being not used to a touchpad and the "bloatware" to start is the only way I can get the pointer to move if I have a finger from the top to the bottom of line scrolling to the right of the TouchPad horizontally or diagonally, it moves very slowly until I can be open and close a browser window, the file or even the startup window, then it will then act as usual and do not freeze again for my entire session If I leave it for five minutes at the start, it works fine, sometimes it will freeze also out of standby or hibernation, but not always.

  OK, I thought maybe it was the necessary driver update I checked in Device Manager and it said it was working properly but that of course is when the pointer is as it should be, in the Device Manager if I pilot of the touchpad/driver/update and internet search it tells me I have the drivers updated If I choose to search for a driver on my computer/let pick me from a list of device drivers that I have the following:-

  Mouse Compatible PS/2
  Synaptics PS/2 Port Compatible TouchPad
  Synaptics PS/2 Port Compatible TouchPad
  Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad

  I should have all those showing? can someone with a file of similar specifications check that for me please?

  strange thing is that if I go to TouchPad properties via the taskbar, and then click driver all options except the driver Details are grayed out and done, I can open two windows of TouchPad properties from the device and the task bar manager and have them on the screen at the same time.

  Some things I should mention are a mouse in the usb works fine, I stopped a lot of the "bloatware" and would help the useless stuff running at startup, hoping that I have disabled the function of locking of the click on the TouchPad, sound as it needs to be "warmed up" to run correctly when running properly it works fine without problem as the laptop came pre installed and only Disc I have is the recovery one create you the initial Setup!
  Any help would be appreciated!

  Hello

  First of all, I don t think that this problem is related to the installed touchpad driver but if you wish, you can install the latest touchpad driver available from the European driver Toshiba.

  Visit the European driver Toshiba page and choose:
  Computer laptop Satellite Satellite C series Satellite C660 driver Touchpad

  Now you should get all the touchpad driver available for C660 series.
  I found the driver for the touchpad Synaptics for Win7 32 bit and 64 bit.
  The latest version seems to be v15.2.11.1

  I think you should go to Panel of-> Software
  Check here if Synaptics touchpad driver appear in the list of installed software.
  If so, uninstall the present.
  Then, download and install the Synaptics v15.2.11.1 driver

  The touchpad settings could be changed in Control Panel-> mouse-> tab advanced-> button Advanced.

• Satellite A300-1IK - installation after Windows I can't use the multimedia keys

  I tried to clean my laptop, so I installed Windows7 64-bit using my code, but now that I also donwloaded all drivers, I still can't use easy media keys (as for Windows Media Player, or those who must play/stop music, ect..)

  No one knows how to fix this?

  Hi dilettafornasiero,

  I think you forgot to install Toshiba value added Package this package contains the driver for these buttons (lighted) media where you can start Windows media player, for example.

  You should check the Web from Toshiba site again and search for VAP also indicated for Satellite A300. Download and install the package and after I restarted the lighted buttons should start working.

  Check this box!

  Hello

  The forum already contains these discussions where notebooks will freeze after 5 or 10 minutes of play. Have you read them?

  Now it s not easy to say what causes this problem but first of all you need to install the latest driver of Toshiba display. Don t use non-Toshiba drivers, as they can cause the overheating!

  Also make sure that you use the latest version of the BIOS and it s useful to clean the laptop time using a jet of compressed air.

• Satellite A300 - black screen after long race

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300 1 portable PC series since 2008.

  It worked fine until the last few days. 2 days back when I started, it works fine until I go to bed (about 4-5 hours).
  "" I put my computer on and I slept, when I woke up in the morning, seen the button works / stop light is lit, "plugged in", "lit", "battery" all the lights are on but black screen of the tower.

  I moved the mouse, you press the mouse, press the SPACEBAR, enter keys on the keyboard, but nothing of this fact the live screen.
  I checked the fan works and the machine is hot normally.

  I noticed the CPU/HDD LED does not blink, the fact does not illuminate.

  The day before yesterday was also even, but after that restart was again very well.
  yesterday also repeated the same thing.
  Today also repeated the same thing.

  Please note my power saving mode: hip - turn off monitor - 1 minutes, turn the HARD drive - never.

  This setting is for last 2-3 years and normally off the monitor used to live on the movement of the mouse / key pressing.

  Can someone please help me figure out why my screen goes black after a night or more running morning.

  Thanks in advance

  Generally screen should turn off, but the laptop must continue to work.
  It is not easy to tell what happened.
  Can happen that laptop did restart because of a windows update installation?
  Some applications are active during the night? Some download or something similar?

  So if any body can help me to solve this problem, I'm happy.

  It looks like that the BIOS update has no...

  What can you do now?
  Yourself you can do nothing. The only change is the authorized service provider. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module

  Sorry mate, but in this case you need professional help.

• Satellite X 200 freezes after 15 minutes of inactivity

  I'm tired of this problem: my laptop freezes after 15 minutes of inactivity and I can get it going again to reset. The problem was solved when I reinstall Vista, but after several months my laptop started hanging up. And my laptop is unable to install Tempro 2.0.3.

  Please, help me to solve this problem and I don't want to reinstall Vista again.

  Hello

  For me it sounds like that a 3rd party software application or is causing this problem because you wrote that after Vista reinstall, the problem has been resolved.

  I put t know this software you have installed, but you need to remove all unnecessary applications as shareware or trial versions.
  Then use CCleaner to clean the registry.
  Visit the Windows update website and install all the updates that are available for your Windows.

  In the worst case, you will need to reinstall Vista again. In my opinion a reinstall from time to time is normal and I have reinstall my laptop every year. So I often have good performance.

• Satellite A300 PSAGQE - pilot after uprgading to Win 7 errors

  I have a 'Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAGQE' 2 days ago, I updated my Windows Vista to Windows 7.
  A lot of driver are ok and works without problems, but 3 drivers are makin wrong as I have noticed.

  These are;
  Toshiba Firmware link Driver ACPI\TOS1901
  Ricoh RL5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host adapt
  Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller RL5C843

  my "FN" does not work and the lights do not go!

  I searched the internet for solutions together and saw many people having the same trouble. There are problems but no solutions...

  I hope that I can help to Chester for the problems here.

  Hi Yol_Gezer,

  To be honest, for me it doesn t sound like problems because you only need new drivers for your laptop, they are listed on the page of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  You need to the card reader and driver Bluetooth I think.

  Regarding the FN and enlightenment, you must install Toshiba Value added Package. ;)

• Satellite L300 regularly freezes after BIOS update

  I've updated the latest bios for my Toshiba Satellite L300. However, after using the computer for half an hour, the computer is frozen.

  Even though I reinstalled the operating system, this problem still occurs. Can someone view please the link to the previous bios for this Toshiba L300?

  Kind regards.

  Check if there are several versions of BIOS according to the operating system that you are using as if it were with other series of satellites?
  And redefine the BIOS settins on default. This often allows too much.

  Not sure, but I think that you will not find a previous version of the BIOS on Toshiba download page and so you can ask your ASP if they can return BIOS back to a previous version.
