• How to partition Satellite A300 - 21 H with Vista?

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 21 H with Vista and dual you want to boot with ubuntu linux. At present, there are three partitions, recovery vista 1.5 GB, 150 GB C and 150 GB E (with recovery of HARD drive inside). My ubuntu, I would like to partitions / and / Home (about 150 GB). Should I delete the partition E? I have my recovery DVD's...

  What is the best approach, I think that linux is only 4 partitions.

  > Should I delete the partition E?
  If you created the recovery DVDs, you can remove HDDRecovery and use the second partition for Linux. When you want to install once again just use recovery media created Vista.

  If you change the structure of the partition, no doubt, you will not be able to use saved image in this folder.

• Satellite A300-y00 come with s-video output port?

  Satellite a300/y00 come with s-video output port?
  Where can buy the cable to this port, or I can buy anywhere or buy from toshiba dealer?

  Hello

  This seems to be an Australian series for Toshiba laptop so it was designed for the Australian market. I'm not very well if this series of portable supports the m s-video output port.
  The point is that there are different models A300 and the s-video output port has not been installed in all mobile phones of the A300.
  I found a manual and it says that the s-video, put it port depends on the model you have purchased.

  Usually, it should be placed on the left side between the vents and the output HDMI port. Check it out.
  If there is no s-video output port then the laptop does not support it.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300-211 - light button has stopped working

  Hello

  How people you?
  I have an annoying problem with my Toshiba Satellite A300-211.
  I had windows vista Home premium 32-bit installed on it but then I removed and started using windows 7 ultimate 64-bit and a result of one touch media buttons used to switch the led light on and off changed its function and began to put the sound on and off.

  When I installed the value-added package because the function key wasn't the button no longer works. It does not enable or disable the led light or the sound or no more.
  It is blinking but does not.

  Can someone help?

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall the VAP once more?
  Check it!

  Moreover, as far as I know you can configure media buttons by using the software.
  Please check the software in all programs-> Toshiba

  By the way; lighting can be turned on and off in the BIOS settings too!

• Satellite A300-1HV: light button does not work

  Hi guys,.

  I recently bought a Satellite A300-1HV, and while that in the store, the salesman showed me it was possible to turn off the light behind the function/media at the top of the keyboard buttons. It seems to do by simply pressing the first button (the mute button).

  When I got home I tried several times, and he did in fact machine do what I expected (i.e. off lighting). The manual describes the first button under the button "Mute or LED power. Later that night, I tried the button again once, but this time it acted as a mute button and either turns off the lighting. In addition, the second button (CD/DVD) no longer seems to work at all, although it lights up when you press.

  I tried the Toshiba Assist software and am able to manually turn off the lighting, but the 'Toshiba button Support' seems to have no effect on buttons. I guess this would allow me to set up manually a program runs when I press one of two buttons, but no matter what I ask it to run, it does nothing.

  It's as if there is a piece of software that should be run, leading the keys, that I do not have (or at least no longer have).

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  You can enable this back in the BIOS.
  You can access this menu by pressing the F2 key when turned on the machine.

  Select the Advanced section and turn on LED lighting.

  See you soon

• 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: DVD missing with upgrade of windows 7

  Hello

  I bought my A300 with Windows Vista on board, later I provided with the Windows 7 upgrade DVD.
  Unfortunately I lost the disc and as far as I know even if I use the Toshiba recovery solution I'll be back to Windows Vista. Y at - it no opportunity to request the delivery of wind 7 or I have to buy a new one?

  Thank you in advance!

  As far as I know it was a special offer from Toshiba at the launch of Win7. I think that you can not order more.
  What you can do now is to buy the original installation disk Microsoft Win7 and install Win7 clean version on your A300. I have the same machine and Win7 works perfectly on it. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba supports the page.

• 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 A300-1EG - dead with the graphic card pixel problems

  Hello

  Not after two months of use of a brand new Toshiba A300, I had a dead pixel.
  Its only I guess, but what intrigues me is that it could be somehow merged with disorders, that I got with my graphics card.
  I had trobule with S-video use, there was a bad image, without collors.
  Is there a chance that I can have my screen replaced?

  Im still under warranty.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Regarding the dead pixel:
  > Is there a chance that I can have my screen replaced?
  I doubt that the screen would be replaced only due to a dead pixel.

  Please check out this article from Toshiba. I found it in the page of knowledge base of Toshiba.

  I guess the A300 uses SATA HDD too but I'm not sure about the speed

  So generally you can use this disk in the PS3

• Satellite A300 - code 31 with Intel 4965AGN network adapter

  Need help with an error code 31 of fixation with my Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN network card. I restored the PC from scratch and installed the drivers, but still have the same problem. I also have a 6 AX88772A USB 2.0 Fast Etherner Adapter as part of a Toshiba port replicator that works very well. I spent the registry of all errors.

  Any advice on what I could do to finally solve this problem?

  Hello

  What drivers you have reinstalled exactly? Normally if the 31 error code appears in the Device Manager, it should be enough to reinstall the driver only. You can find it here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  You can install the driver if you go into Device Manager and select the WLAN card. Right-click on it and select Update driver. Don t forget to choose the Advanced installation where you can choose the driver yourself.

• Satellite A300 - thin light green line on screen

  Hello Roy.

  Please notify. Each switch-on, this thin line seems biased and permanent. He appeared a few days ago. Is this a failure of the chip in the graphics card?
  How can it be rectified?

  Suppose a warranty issue. Look forward to a response from forum.
  Thank you.

  Hello Roy

  Connect the external monitor to the laptop and check it out. If the line is still there, it must be because of the graphics chip. If this isn't the case, something's wrong with the display.

  Contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider as soon as possible. Certainly it comes to warranty and replacement will be free.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A300-17N - t - it have port series and how to get there?

  Hello

  To help my studies in microcontrollers, I need serial port, but I did not on the Panel of my laptop. I know that some laptop models have one on their motherboards, but is not on the Panel. If satellite A300-17N is one of them I enjoy any help and instructions how to get manually.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Satellite A300-17N doesn t have serial port and AFAIK no Satellite A300 was equipped with this port.

  But I saw a few online shops, they listed an Express card that offers the serial port (RS232). I found one on Amazon:
  http://www.Amazon.co.UK/STARTech-com-16C950-ExpressCard-serial-adapter/DP/B000PE6G04/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&QID=1300736594&SR=8-8

  I think it would be easier and less expensive way for serial port. :)
