Satellite A300 - possible port VGA - not problem of video output

I use my VGA port in two main locations, at home to connect on an old television set via a PC/TV converter and work to connect directly to a projector.

This week he suddenly stopped working on both at the same time. I tired to another laptop in the projector to work and it works great. I also tried different tracks. The problem is certainly my laptop (which is now almost 4 years).

The most likely thing seems to be what is ' t the plug itself. If I plug something inside Windows (7 Ultimate) is work that is an additional monitor, but the projector/TV no signal. I've tried all the obvious things, hit F5 makes no difference, and the Windows settings have not changed. The resolution and refresh rates are properly defined. I try to avoid the standard answers on the verification of all the things that I already checked!

Now I have a HDMI port on the side, the probability is that just buying a VGA/HDMI adapter and using this port will solve the problem? I guess if it's just a physical problem with the VGA port so it will, but the problem would be a graph problem or your motherboard, and if it is will this affect the HDMI port, but also the VGA port?

Port VGA is an analog video output. HDMI is a digital output.
Two are different and not related them to each other.

So I don't very well if a HDMI adapter-> / m VGA would work properly.
Maybe it works but only with a lower resolution. So in my opinion, FullHD is not possible. However, I think that you will need to test it with your laptop.

Usually, you can use an adapter like HDMI to DVI or DVI to HDMI smoothly.

With regard to the question of VGA output.

Well, usually the Fn + F5 should pass between the internal and external production. It should work with VGA and HDMI port. Maybe it's just a software related issue.
In your case, I will try to uninstall and update the display driver. Maybe it helps.

    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:

  • Satellite A300 - USB port and fingerprints issue

    Hello

    I'm starting this thread that I have problems with my fingerprint reader and my USB port.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-C01 laoptop. It was purchased in September of last year. I have not used it much except for the first week I had it, I've been away (Overseas), and I didn't take my laptop with me (I took a former I). There is no chance that the laptop has been used so that I was absent because I live alone and that the cell phone was simply sitting in the computer room.

    I started using it again about 3 weeks. Around a week ago, I noticed a pop-up (bottom left of the screen) telling me that a USB port had problems. I put my FlashDrive on the first USB port and at first, it was not recognized. I tried with another flash drive I have and who has been recognized. However, every time I start the computer I get who pop up telling me that there is a problem with the USB port.

    I also met a problem with the fingerprint reader. A pop up appears in the lower left side of the screen and say that the fingerprint reader was having problems. Happened since then that the problem with my USB port began to appear. About an hour ago, I checked the Device Manager and the fingerprints fingerprints/biometrics scanner does not appear in Device Manager.

    Has anyone else had this type of problem?

    What did you do to solve it?

    I would appreciate comments that I have no other choice at this time until Monday when the Toshiba support is available (they are available Monday to Friday).

    Thanks in advance,

    Deanne.

    First of all, you should try to update the chipset drivers and software of fingerprint. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    If it doesn't work you should try to update the BIOS. Check the Toshiba site for an update.

    In the worst case, you must reinstall the laptop with the Toshiba recovery disc. So you can make sure if it s a hardware issue or not.

  • Satellite A300 - USB drives do not work!

    I have a satellite A300 and it has 1 usb port on the left and 2 on the right. The one on the left works perfectly well, but both left work at all which is really irritating.

    When I try and use the 1st, a bubble pops up saying: peripheral USB not recognized and when I use the 2nd one nothing happens at all. Ive downloaded the lates bios update, but it did not work.

    Help please!

    Have you updated the chipset drivers? Here, you will also find Toshiba Europe site where you downloaded the latest version of the BIOS.

    It could also be a hardware problem, but first of all, I would like to try a recovery facility. If you have the recovery disk try this.

  • Satellite A10: RGB Port is not installed - can not use external display

    Satellite A10 the RGB PORT is not installed & cannot be used as external display. I tried to install the communication or COM 1. interrupt code. What are the possible solutions?

    Hello

    What did you mean by "not installed"?
    Generally, you don't need to install anything. You don't need any drivers for this port 3.
    Windows XP drivers should work properly.

    Please check device manager if there are errors or yellow exclamation points.
    If the problem occurs for a short time, you can try to use the WinXP restore tool.
    This tool will reduce the BONE until the start.

  • Satellite A300 - rotates but does not start

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A300. I had several probems for the boot since 2 months ago: when I want to turn on my laptop, it turns on but the screen keeps black and it does not load the screen "Toshiba Leading Innovation". 'Satellite' (to the left of the mouse) light is on (it would go only about a second then to start and then turn off) and it will turn off.

    I try again for so many times with all the possibilities: without battery, only with the power adapter, two, but it does not start. I don't know what I can do. I always Hibernate my laptop because I'm afraid of can not start it the next day.

    Could you help me? If she cares: I had to buy a new battery (not original from Toshiba) because I had to change the original. No more changes to my laptop.

    Thank you very much and sorry for my English written: S

    Diego

    Hey Buddy,

    > I had to buy a new battery (not original from Toshiba) because I had to change the original. No more changes to my laptop.
    Of course, it s always advisable using Toshiba original spare parts only, but if you notice the same problem with AC adapter only it s not related to the new battery.

    Just to make a better diagnosis: If you have connected an external monitor? The internal display is perhaps the problem and doesn't turn on and it would be useful if you are testing the situation and an external monitor.

    But this noise as a hardware problem serious and in this case, you can wait to contact an authorized service provider. Technicians professional diagnostic tools to make an accurate diagnosis and to Exchange defective equipment parts.

    Luckilly I have an iphone so managed to get on internet forums and find a solution which was to use a command in cmd.exe that fixed the problem.

    The only thing is now that I have a very basic windows Classic theme that when I try to change to Vista in the theme settings it gives the message:
    * "the theme could not load. %1 is not a valid win32 application. "

    Any help and step by step for the user base would be much appreciated! I guess it can't be that bad since Windows is still running and working properly!

    Thank you

    Hi tarmacsnortingmonster,

    That is the reason why I n t play with any 3rd themes part because I always read from time to time on various problems after installation. So I don't use Windows themes pre-installed and don t have problems.

    In any case, I think you should try a system restore to an earlier point before installing this theme.
    I hope this helps if not it is time to reinstall Windows, I think that :(

  • Satellite A300 - towers, but do not post

    Hello

    I hope that someone has had the experience of a similar question to mine, I have a * Toshiba Satellite A300 * which is a couple of years old, but has been problem free until the last two weeks.

    The question:
    -Laptop turn on but does not post, power tubes, display work etc.
    -Let the battery fully discharged and now the power button for 60 seconds will sometimes allow the laptop to work again, but this work around less frequently works all the time.
    -The problem is the same with or without battery
    -Probably adapter works as the laptop occasionally works and works of battery/power LED

    Why the laptop power it will prevent start from time to time?
    Tips or advice would be great, apparently not a major hardware problem and it certainly doesn't seem to justify a replacement yet.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Hmm... I guess that if only sometimes maybe it's a malfunction of the equipment. If your computer doesn't start it has nothing to do with Windows so it of not a software problem.

    Do you have the hardware upgrades to the last time? Perhaps the new RAM module is not compatible or something else.
    You can see the RAM modules to find errors using Memtest86.

    In the worst cases, the error is related to the motherboard and it is an expensive part of notebook.
    Is your laptop under warranty? Whether an ASP can repair free of charge.

  • Satellite A300-259 - Windows 7 not genuine

    I received my toshiba recovery media CD today and it has deleted the previous version of windows (vista) and installed windows 7.

    After all configurations, a message appears saying that windows in not authentic.
    I didn't expect this CD to remove vista entirely, but to start from the TI is out of the State of the box, but now I'm running on a different windows and may require a new product key. I tried to put the product key that is located on a label on the back of the laptop, but he says the key is invalid.

    I can't reinstall the previous version of windows that I do not have the CD but need to stick with windows 7 by the look of it.
    Want just a few solutions for this problem, should I leave it as is, contact toshiba or restart my laptop again.

    Help much appreciated.

    I have the Satellite A300 259.

    Thank you.

    > I got my Toshiba recovery media CD today and it has deleted the previous version of windows (vista) and installed windows 7.

    I guess that you have received the disk Win 7 Upgrade from Toshiba.

    > I didn't expect this CD to remove vista entirely, but to start from the TI is out of the State of the box, but now I'm running on a different windows and may require a new product key

    First of all, I guess you used the Vista which has been pre-installed by Toshiba.
    This Vista has already been activated and would not require the key of the system!
    As I know the Win 7 wouldn't too much ask for the key.

  • Satellite A300-1NO - webcam does not work, but the LED lights

    Hello!

    I have a laptop Satellite A300-1NO, with Win 7 installed. My problem is that my webcam does not work always, when I want to use it. Sometimes, it works perfectly in Skype, WLM etc... but sometimes I see a white or a black screen with a 'loading circle' in there. Blue is the LED light, I can see it in Device Manager too, but there is no picture, just 'loading '. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it, I installed the new "camera Assistant for Toshiba", without success.

    Is there any solution for this?

    > Is there any solution for this?
    I put t think there is solution for this. If I understand you right there is a problem with software pre-installed. It is not easy to say why this is happening.

    I have Satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Webcam works fine all the time.

    One more thing: have you noticed this problem in the first moments after installing Win7 or later?
    Have you installed something that may be the reason for this?

  • Satellite A300 - Chicony webcam does not work after upgrade to windows 7

    I'm frustrated so I came here to see if anyone knows a way to help solve this problem.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista 64 - bit pre-installed. After about a year or two to have the laptop, I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. In the process, I believe that the driver of my webcam (Chicony usb 2.0 camera) has been eliminated.

    When I go into the Device Manager in the Control Panel, the webcam is not listed; nor is "imaging devices."

    I tried to download the driver manually, but I get an error message "Webcam open fail." Restart the computer or the camera. »

    My computer has registered my webcam as 'unknown device '.

    If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please, I beg you, let me know.

    > My computer has registered my webcam as 'unknown device '.
    > I tried to download the driver manually, but I get an error message "Webcam open fail." Restart the computer or the camera. »

    This means that the the webcam driver is not installed correctly.
    Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and install the software/driver webcam just for this model of laptop.

    If the installation fails, restart the laptop and the tent.
    This should solve the problem.

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A300-20 b and I have a cooling problem. Since I have this laptop I ve been tracking the temperature of the CPU and found out I got the maximum temperature was about 80 c. The strange thing is that the cooler starts only when the CPU reaches this high temperature, if it isn't the cold remains off.

    Another weird thing is that once it is not blocking the cooler starts. It stops only if I restart or shut down the computer. Is this normal? Should I worry about something? Thank you very much for your answers.
