Satellite A300 - multimedia key starts for laptop

Hello

I recently bought a Satellite A300 and it was turn mysteriously. After an inspection, I discovered that while the computer is totally off, if I press one of the multimedia keys (the other starting on the left) the books starts as if it had hit the power button.

This happens to you one of you? How can I stop this?

By the way, I installed windows 7, which I think has nothing to do because this happens with the laptop is turned off, but who knows.

Thanks in advance.

I think it's normal, the than mine did the same thing.

When you press the Internet button, it will start Windows and start your browser.
When you press the media button, it boot Windows and start the Media Player.

I do not know how to turn it off, but it doesn't bother me anyway.

  • Satellite A300 - easy (key) does not not after SP2 update

    Satellite A300 easy (key) does not...
    I have recently upgraded my Vista SP1 to SP2 (do not know if this is the problem, but I'm pretty sure that's not)

    Yesterday, I discovered that my easy keys no longer work. Lights are out, when I press the keys, the light comes on and goes off again as they do normally, but no reaction on my screen (can not turn on any light without restarting my computer and select turned ON manually cannot transform media of windows opened by the touch and play the key do not work).

    Is it supposed to be a driver or something for this?

    Sorry for the bad English...

    Hello!

    A few days ago, I had the same problem on my laptop Qosmio. Lighting keys stopped working after installing some updates and the 3rd application programs the keys no longer works and also the lighting.
    At the end of the story, I had to reinstall Windows :(

    In any case, now, you should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. He controls these buttons that you want to say and you can find it on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    Before installing you need to remove the old version first, restart the computer, clean up your Windows with CCleaner for example, restart again and then install the new VAP.

  • Re: Satellite A300-1GN - required XP for a long time to start

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A300-1GN.
    I reinstalled from Vista to XP Home.
    After you have installed all the drivers from my system starts more than 4 minutes. I'm on SATA (no AHCI) compatibility mode.
    You have the same problem?

    I can't go because I have the blue screen to AHCI.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    If you have disabled the SATA feature then the HARD drive and the entire operating system can not be used with better performance and this could be the reason why the laptop needs a little more to start.

    But the problem is that if you allow the AHCI in the BIOS, then your operating system would not start and you need to reinstall new OS using the SATA drivers.

    Another reason why Notepad starts slowly could be a large amount of running system process in the context of the BONE.

    Factors that could affect the start-up procedure

  • Satellite A300-1 - disk HARD for XP drivers

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A300-1.
    No recovery CD were delivered by Toshiba.
    I have a laptop formatted, a valid key of XP, but I can't install it because it does not recognize the hard drive.

    Where can I find the hard disk for my A300 1 drivers.

    I'm really tired of finding a sollution for my new laptop.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are right. Recovery DVDs is not delivered because recovery image is saved on the second partition of HARD drive. After the first start, there is recall with exact explanation to create recovery DVDs using Toshiba Recovery creator tool.

    If you ignore it, now you don't have the ability to create this DVD again. Really great!

    Anyway, what you need now is driver SATA and it must be loaded at startup by using the F6 key. You can save it to diskette drive or create a clean bootable media.
    On this thread, you can find an exact explanation on laptop Windows XP Home on Satellite Pro computer installation but the principle remains the same and you can do the same on your laptop.

    Hi all
    I use Satellite A300 laptop computer with Vista preinstalled OS.

    Due to a virus problem my system got crashed upward... so need to reinstall the OS... but my VISTA key at the bottom of my laptop is not visible now... is there a way to get my product as iam key still in warranty period...
    Thanks for the help in advance

    Suneel.

    Hello!

    If reinstalling Vista using a Microsoft installation disc you n t need this product key on the underside of the laptop. This key belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and t can be used with a version of Vista that you can buy in a normal store of the computer. This is why you must use the product key that comes with the version of Vista.
    OEM versions are available for manufactured goods.

    If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk you can order directly into a new Toshiba. Akuma already post the link to the workshop.

    Hello

    To avoid errors, Toshiba has created a little reminder that will appear on the screen very often and I don't really understand why you didn t read this and take it seriously.
    Anyway, if you have installed has Vista visit the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page > support & downloads. You will find everything you need. Just choose your model of laptop.

    Before starting installation, check to see if it has listed document Instructions of facilities. If so, please check and install all the stuff following this order of installations.

    If you want to have the Satellite A300 once again I recommend to use the model of PSAG8E. I have more than a year now and I'm really happy with it.

  • Music satellite A300 PSAG4A keys doesn't work do not

    Hello

    I am new to this forum and in fact Toshiba problems in general. : P

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-PSAG4A running on Vista 32 bit. A few days ago the music keys Harman/Kardon lighting on it suddenly stopped working. When I use my cell phone, I usually put in mode 'sleep' and normally wake him using these support the keys - but for some reason, they stopped randomly light up and answer.

    I tried used - by restarting the computer laptop and test frantically buttons, but of course, they do not react. Keys and the laptop itself served very well up to now I can't think of any reason why this is happening now.

    I'm not super computer savvy but I did some reading on the subject of these keys and wanted to try to reinstall the Toshiba Value added Package method - but I couldn't find the PVAT file anywhere on my laptop.

    In addition, Toshiba does not offer support for my laptop computer series (A300-PSAG4A); their download section is only for the ST series. Please correct me if I'm wrong - I could be looking right or whatever.

    I did a system health report to check if it is a driver problem and it came with the following text:
    Error messages two affirming that "the device for the Base system device driver has not been installed" and the other saying that "the device driver for #UNKNOWN # has not been installed."

    I don't know that anyone say or if they are relevant to my problem.

    Help, please?

    > I'm not super computer savvy but I did some reading on the subject of these keys and wanted to try to reinstall the Toshiba Value added Package method - but I couldn't find the PVAT file anywhere on my laptop.

    Hi, you can download the VAP (value added package) for a Toshiba driver page.

    > Also, Toshiba does not offer support for my laptop computer series (A300-PSAG4A); their download section is only for the ST series. Please correct me if I'm wrong - I could be looking right or whatever.

    Surely, they do think you searched on a fake page the A300 PSAG4A seems to be an Australian series of Toshiba and therefore, you should check page driver Toshiba to THE.
    http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/download

    Here you should find the VAP

    Recommend to uninstall the first PPV, and after new reboot you could install the package again.

  • Satellite A300 does not start

    Hello forum members

    I had a lot of problems with my Toshiba Satellite A300 for quite awhile. I had found the solution to one of the problems through this forum, but now the problem I am facing. I can t find the solution to the problem.

    When I press the power on button, the laptop just blinks (fan runs then shuts down, as he gets power pulse. sign satellite on the left side of the laptop flashes and the laptop stops, then the laptop itself tries to start, but this goes on and for a long time.) It finally boots (not really specific time when it starts up, sometimes after an hour, 2 hours or all day) and I can use. I tried to put the laptop in hibernate mood/sleep but no use, whenever I press the power on button, I face the same problem. Once it starts, it doesn t stop and works very well.

    I can't really understand what is the problem? Your answers are really appreciated. I really have a hard time with this laptop.

    Hi and sorry for my English

    I have a Satellite A660 - 12th and recently after reinstalling windows and all the other drivers (VAP, HW, etc.), multimedia keys, are disordered, so the wireless open windows media, the Toshiba shorcut edge player on/off button on/off switch in the light of the buttons and the touchpad, switch off power switch the touchpad button and light button does nothing , volume +/-works very well. I try to reinstall the driver of the VAP, pilot HW and Flash driver cards and that do not resolve the problem, I also try to reinstall windows, still nothing.

    > I used Windows 7 Ultimate (no problems with it before)...
    It's logical, because previously you used laptop with factory settings and proper installation.
    Now, you use installation clean to the BONE and who knows how you installed all of the extra stuff.

    In any case the question confuses me, in any case. I can understand that some buttons don t work due to lack of tools but I ve never seen that buttons behave messy. Which is really strange.

    If you have the time and if you want to reinstall Win7 once again, we will send you the right installation order and you should try again.
    What do you think about this?

    The point is Toshiba doesn't provide all driver Linux for laptop, so you must look it up. Toshiba offers only Vista and XP for Satellite A300 drivers that can be downloaded on the Toshiba site.

  • Satellite A300 - 15 d: good for games?

    Hello
    I'm about to buy Satellite A300 - 15 d, and my question is:
    Is there someone at - it tested about this laptop with latest games?

    Since he gets some nice hardware (on paper), so I am abit frustrated if it runs smoothly to new games, or it to freeze or restart every 5 min. because of overheating problems.

    I can't find a good review of this book, so please if there is someone who has tested A300 - 15A with games like Crysis and Age of Conan, please can you me if this machine is stable for the games or not!

    Thanks in advance

    P.S. - Very very sorry for my bad English! : P

    Hello!

    First of all, I want to tell you, that I do not own this piece of hardware, but I would like to discuss some points with you, which can help you, I hope.

    To be honest, I don't think you'll be happy playing the high end like Crysis on this machine games. As I play this game too, I can tell, it's a killer of real hardware and even on my very good desktop PC it does not also smooth I wanted he would run.

    I don't like online RPG like Age of Conan or World of Warcraft, so have not checked this hardware configuration recommended, but everything I read it too has some powerful hardware.

    Not knowing does not, if you want to play your game with all the detail on a high and maximum or simply resolution settings happy that if games are playable, I don't know if this is the right machine for you.

    Have you already checked other series like Qosmio? Looked to me like a beautiful piece of hardware but did not have one or let me know better.

  • Satellite A300 does not start after the installation of the anti-virus

    Hello

    I brought a Satellite A300 today and loaded it up and it was fine.
    I uninstalled the google toolbar, office and land it came preinstalled with also the mcafree anti virus.
    So I could install my own anti virus.

    After that the system asked me to restart my pc I did.
    Since then, the system cross the 'Please wait' screen
    But it won't let me boot into safe mode. I tried a system restore.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    To me, it seems that you 3rd party antivirus software caused this strange and confusing problem the Vista OS installed.

    In my eyes a simply, new installation of operating system using the Toshiba Recovery disk would solve this problem.

    If you are able to start the operating system in safe mode and then try to remove your installed Antivirus software, then clean the registry and operating system using the free tool called CCLeaner and try to start the laptop again.

    Maybe it helps you too
