• Satellite A300 - LED multimedia keys do not work if iTunes is reduced

  Hello

  I own Satellite A300 - 1 9 (PSAJ4E).
  Is it possible to let the LED buttons multimedia "Play/Pause", "RW" and "FF" to work even if iTunes is reduced to a minimum?
  Atm because they work only when I actually work in iTunes and the moment where I reduce iTunes taskbar it blocks for play/pause, etc!

  Thank you

  Hello Jonas

  I don't use iTunes and cannot comment on the functionality of the buttons with iTunes but I know it's Toshiba don't offer notebooks with pre-installed iTunes and these buttons are, by default, designed to work with Windows Media Player.

  You can use these buttons with other players, if possible, but Toshiba does not support the features with any other third party application. For example, I use these buttons with Winamp and everything works perfectly.

• 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 A300-1MC (PSAG8E) - get Bluetooth to work

  Hello

  I just bought a toshiba satellite a300-1mc and cannot get the bluetooth to work on it. ???

  The box says it has built in bluetooth, but even when I reinstall the bluetooth stack he will not recognize the built-in bluetooth device, it just says: connect a bluetooth device and press ok or cancel the installation? I can't take this wise because it only picks up the built-in bluetooth device?

  I checked the hardware Manager and can not still find something to do with bluetooth

  Any help would be very appreciated that I could really do with the bluetooth on my laptop.

  The box say it has bluetooth, it's why I can't work on why I can't make it work

  I'm not sure that if I deleted something... when I first got this laptop, it took about 5 minutes to start so I disabled a startup programs load... but I do not remember stop bluetooth... and I checked to see if I disabled something.

  HELP me please lol

  Rolex is right. I ve checked the specifications specification and Satellite A300-1MC is delivered without BT module. :(

  I have satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Everything works perfectly. It is very important to install all the drivers, tools and utilities, following the right installation order, so here is the list how I did it:

  Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) and clean Win7

  -Win7 (original Microsoft installation disc)
  -chipset driver
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -driver sound
  -modem driver
  -utility supervisor
  -infrared
  -patches
  -configfree
  -VAP
  Hardware - toshiba
  Control - HDMI
  -WLAN driver

  Everything works well but lacks some drivers

  Added Vista tips:
  Toshiba - help - working properly
  -Card reader - installed correctly
  -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
  Driver - Synaptics

  Win7 works well and I am very satisfied.

• 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 A300-20 b - Touchpad does not work after BIOS update

  I've updated the BIOS on my Satellite A300-20 b latest version 2.00. Update succeeded, but when I rebooted system touchpad has stopped working.

  I tried to find the solution, resettled drivers (windows XP system). In the Windows Device Manager there is no problem with Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad, I see. Software Synaptics shows no problem I can enable and disable the touchpad, but it does not work for the touchpad. I tried Linux live CD and in this system does not work as good touchpad. I think there is problem in this version of the BIOS.

  Does anyone have the same problem?

  Hey Buddy,

  Have you tried to turn the touchpad on or off if you press FN + F9? Check this please!
  Also, try to load the default settings in the BIOS.

  What happens if you connect an external mouse to the laptop? It work?

  I can t imagine that the BIOS update causing this problem. If it doesn't work, you need to contact a service provider for help. They can check the touchpad and replace.

• Re: Satellite A300-234 - product key does not work with another disk the

  Broke the new Satellite A300-234, flied Windows Vista. I did not the backup copy of the system. At the system from a disk of another laptop Toshiba A200-23d.

  The key away. What should do?

  Hello

  The point is that the product key from the underside of the laptop can t be used with another drive in Windows. It s just for the preinstalled OEM version and doesn t work with other versions.

  Normally you n t have to enter a product key if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc because it contains a picture of the factory settings and is different from a disc of Microsoft Vista.

  Anyway, as said Akuma you can order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.
  The another model of laptop recovery disk will not work because the hardware is different.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 - 10 M - adapter no longer works

  I've had my Satellite A300 - 10 M for 5 months now.

  Today the power adapter went 'pop' (literally with a ' pop' sound) and no longer works.
  Battery is fine, computer laptop is fine, it is just the power adapter.

  I have the reliability of refund thing so I phoned this number first, but they are not open on a weekend.
  Since this is a day Bank holiday here in England, I will probably be able to get through until Tuesday.

  My warranty will cover the replacement of the adapter?

  I have to send my laptop in, or will they send just the replacement AC?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Of course the warranty would cover the replacement of the power adapter.

  As far as I know that the international standard warranty covers all parts of a year long laptops.

  Your laptop is 5 months old and so the warranty should still be valid!

  Get in touch with your ASP your country and ask for help!

• Satellite A300-1EG multimedia keys don't work in Win XP

  Help me!

  Lighting does not work.
  Where can I configure the multimedia keyboard drivers?

  Maybe the necessary computer special drivers for WinXP?

  Hello

  If I m not mistaken the A300-1EG belongs to the series of PSAG4E.
  Is this good?

  The Toshiba page provides all the XP drivers but the controls are missing

  Toshiba controls is a tool that is needed to get the Toshiba control buttons work.

  In your case, I recommend checking and then reinstalling the controls of the other Satellite A300 series.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 - a RAM module will not work

  Hello guys,.

  6-8 months ago, I had a terrible accident with my laptop, I spilled:(coffe là-dessus.) Initially it has worked very well, but after a few days I just couldn't start it. When I pressed the power button, 'satellite' logo turned on, I could hear the fan but the HARD drive would not start. Tryied to clean and finally he started to :)

  Then from time to time (each is approximately 40 days) it does not start and what I've found, is that the RAM slot near the motherboard has a problem. When I remove the RAM from the slot, it works very well (but with 2 GB instead of 3 GB). A few days later, I put the second RAM and reworked for the next 40 days. Even in this way, I was satisfied after what had happened (the accident of coffee).

  The problem is that the same thing happened about 1 month ago but still every time I insert the second RAM I get the black screen, fan works and nothing more (with 1 memory it still works). Is it possible that the slot 2 is now dead, after 6 months of a semi-travail condition? Do you know how to clean it? or do something else?

  I changed the 2 RAM in both slots and I'm sure that the work of two Ram.

  Thank you and I would appreciate your help as I am a student and I use a lot of Matlab (it takes forever with only 2 GB of RAM)

  Hi creative1,.

  I think that it s not easy to say which is the main reason for this problem. Theoretically, it could be caused by the coffee that you reversed but it could also be another reason. In my view, that such a precise diagnosis can be done from an authorized service provider.

  The memory modules that you are using? Two of the ASP and pre-tested modules?

  Modules of RAM, you can test with special software of diagnosis than Memtest86. If the RAM modules are faulty, Memtest86 should acknowledge mistakes. It would be interesting to try.

  In the worst cases, the second location of memory is faulty. If the bars of memory work in the first place it seems to be the case :(
