• How to install XP in Satellite A300-1BI with Vista

  Hello

  A few days ago, I bought a Satellite A300-1BI with Windows Vista preinstalled. I don't like this OS and I want to degrade for Windows XP and also install my Ubuntu Linux distribution, but I cannot install lame of them because the hard disk appears as "not connected" on men to install XP and Ubuntu... It seems that the laptop is made ONLY for Vista and I think that it's... pathetic...

  Can someone help me? I tried to search for information on the web, forums, etc., but it seems I'm the only one with this problem.

  Thank you!

  Q: if I replace the RAM to 2 modules of 2 GB of RAM this mode dual channel still & 4 GB RAM?
  -May support A300-145 4 GB RAM? and Vista 32? (Intel GM965 chipset have support 4GB RAM)

  Hello

  Satellite A300-145 was equipped with a Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset. Or I m wrong?
  AFAIK this chipset provides only the 2 GB support

  > If I replace the RAM to 2 modules of 2 GB of RAM this mode dual channel still & 4 GB RAM?
  32 bit Vista will recognize only about 3.2 GB.

• Satellite U400 - problems with the Panel, the touch and media keys

  Hello, I have the TOSHIBA Satellite U400. Everything's a lot but I have some concerns.

  1. the touch screen (media buttons on the top of the keyboard - mute-media-play/pause-stop-rewind-forward-) turn
  the computer running if you touch! How to stop that from happening? I only need to use the POWER button.
  Start button / stop is sufficient.

  2. press MUTE on the touchscreen, no its not really "mute" or "disable." Instead, she don't
  is the Tower the White Glow Light for all Touch Panel ON and OFF (including the word "SATELLITE").
  How can I make it works?

  3. When you connect to Windows, I can choose between the password or RECOGNITION of FACES. How do I
  Assign the FACIAL RECOGNITION only without having to choose it?

  Thank you

  Hello Sal

  I played around with this stuff and here is my opinion on this subject.

  (1) as far as I know there is nothing strange. I noticed the same thing on notebooks too. For example, if you want to listen to music, you can simply press PLAYER button (3rd from left) and begins at will for laptop and open windows media player. If you want to go on the internet you can simply press INTERNET ((deuxieme button on the left). Laptop will be put into construction and Internet Explore will be open.
  So there is nothing strange, and even get on my Satellite P200 and brand-new Satellite A300.
  To be honest I don't know if this can be disabled. I'll ask a friend of mine. It is monster of Toshiba and maybe he knows more about it. But this behavior is certainly not strange.

  If you want to use only the power button and then press power button to start. Do not touch the other.

  (2) Please check s operating manuals and look for info on this button. AFAIK it is clearly written Mute or LED on / off depending on the model you purchased, press this button to mute the sound or turn on or off the illumination of the logo of the brand, touchpad and buttons.
  So please do not mix anything. This button has no two options. On your model, you can disable illumination only. It is the same on my laptop. So there is nothing wrong with your laptop.

  (3) you also misunderstood this feature. If face recognition is activated the two options will be displayed. If you do not want to enter a password you can use the option of face recognition. But what you will do if for some reason your face may not be identified correctly. How you want to connect?

  So, please don't be irritated by these things, everything is OK.

• Satellite A300-16I: how to set up six buttons next to the switch ON / OFF?

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite A300-16I.
  My problem with these media keys near the keys ON / OFF, it is that they always start Windows Media Player.
  And because I rarely use this program I would set up, so that it would start Winamp.

  If anyone has any idea how it's dan I would really appreciate to hear from you.

  Yours,
  Gahivelvel

  Hello

  I think that's not possible.
  On my Toshiba laptop control buttons are preconfigured and the settings cannot be changed.

  I presume that it of the case even on your laptop.

  What OS came preinstalled on your A300?

  If you are using Windows XP, then you can view the tool called; Toshiba controls
  It s in the control panel.

  Here you can configure the buttons; CD/DVD and lighting On / OFF

• Satellite A300-1tim: - issue of the multimedia keys

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-1tim: PSAGCE-08X00GPL.
  After reinstalling Windows (Vista 32 bit), everything was fine until the moment when I wanted to turn off the backlight touch multimedia keys, those just above the keyboard (above the F1 to F12 keys).

  Mute, play/pause, stop and change of tracks in Windows Media Player buttons worked very well, except the second button - turning on WMP (but it was flashing after pressing).

  Some time ago, I had these configured buttons in a way the first person (currently silent) turned to the large backlit, second one - a shot on Winamp.

  I installed the package of added value and Toshiba Assist. Now, in Toshiba Assist, after choosing "Toshiba buttons" I only empty fields.
  When I chose to browse and dir: TBS try to choose any function (e.g. drive - disable backlit) it appears in the path and Description sections, I can type something in Option, but nothing appears in the section last but the most important: button name, has nothing to choose, blind fields on the list.

  Of course after you press the register there is no response when I press any button.
  Maybe someone has seen something like that?

  HWSetup I can turn back-lit, but this is not the point, I would do it with a single button as before.
  Value added package 1.1.19 installed with FeatureSelect.ini 1.1.14 (common failure of Toshiba) also chcked v. 1.1.14 (two versions available)
  BIOS 2.20
  Toshiba Assist 2.01.04

  Checked the registry and saw that I have all the keys in the registry:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Toshiba\TBS\DefaultSet ting\
  I don't want to dirty it so I did not change anything

  BTW, sory for my English: bravohelen:

• Keyboard Satellite A300 problem

  I saw a lot of problems of keyboard with the series 'A' here, but not like this. In the middle of a chat session my keyboard getting different letters as I type. Worse, even the key enter got transposed to a different key, the 'h' Hey. So now I can not connect to windows because all keys are flawed. I could enter the repair system that Vista comes with and set it to the American keyboard type. The same problem. I even tried to load Linux, but the problem starts when the computer does, so I can't yet start the restore CD

  Please let know us if any of you have seen this before. I'm going to call Toshiba technical support shortly, but I wanted to see if anyone of you had seen this before. Thank you very much for your help.

  Hi mate

  I think that the issue cannot be resolved using the recovery disk
  For me it seems that this problem of keyboard would also happen outside the Windows OS, it means that this has nothing to do with the software, the keyboard driver, etc.

  I think it's a hardware problem simple keyboard and I think you should ask the ASP in your country for replacement of s.

  A300 should always be covered by the guarantee, so the laptop must be set free

  Good luck and good weekend.

• Satellite P300 - problems with the buttons of enlightenment

  First of all, I would like to apologize for my bad English, I'm French actually.

  Hi, I bought a laptop Satellite P300, a couple of days, and already I have a problem with tactile keys (one on top of the keyboard).

  Actually, the only one of the left, which is supposed to turn off the sound used to keep away the keys lights and Satellite logo. One day (and I don't know why), when I pressed her, she actually cut the sound. And now, the first two keys (mute and shortcut of windows media) do not work, but the other four (Media Player control).
  I tried Toshiba Assist, and the tool for the configuration of the pushbuttons (I don't know the English name of this tool) but I couldn't set the keys, they were not on the list "button name".

  So, does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

  I apologize again for my English.

  Hello

  I assume you are using Windows Vista because you bought the laptop a couple of days and so I think that you should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This package determines the buttons of the lighting that you mean and others (for example the FN keys too).

  The latest version, you can download the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  1. download the latest PPV on the Toshiba site
  2. go in Control Panel > Add/Remove programs. Find the Toshiba value added package and remove it
  3. restart the laptop
  4. download and install CCleaner. This cool cleans up the registry of Windows and system files. He should find some registry keys of Toshiba you should remove with CCleaner.
  5 reboot the laptop
  6. install the PPV that you already downloaded
  7 restart once again

• Satellite M645 - problem with files from Ipod

  I recently had two other notebooks die on me so why I got a brand new Toshiba Satellite M645.
  I have two ipods with music on them from one of the computers.
  When we follow the ways to transfer music on my new computer that I will meet different problems with each of them.

  The first problem is on my video Ipod.
  After clicking on the hidden folders and etc when I find the music file, it shows the files for everything except music.
  Here is the list of files, it gives me

  Calendards
  contacts
  garbage
  NISAM
  Notes
  recycler
  ground
  USB 2.0 driver
  zurim

  If someone could help me with this, or maybe send me to another forum or page that might help me.

  My other is an ipod touch.

  And when going to the devices, it rises driver device USB mobile apple instead of an ipod just like my other.
  When you click on it instead of display the files it just go to the properties and has two tabs, general and material.

  Once more if anyone knows how I might be able to get these on my new computer, I would be very grateful

  That has nothing to do with Toshiba but with your Ipod.

  On the other hand; I have an iPhone and the management of the files it s similar iPod.
  All files need iTunes and using iTunes, you can control files and move between computer and ipod

  However, I recommend you to visit the forum for ipod problems

Earlier, I bought a PC laptop Toshiba-No... no problem. Everything is OK, everything works OK, Internet connection without problem.

• Satellite A500 - problem with the monitor after restoration

  Hello
  I have a Satellite A500. He has a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can not read but once the laptop to boot completely it is fine. My problem is that I wanted to do a restore, but I couldn't because the screen problem it started so I plugged into an external monitor and perform the restore. That has worked well.

  But now the laptop recognizes any my laptop screen. When you go to view it offers no other monitor choice other than external, I used for the restoration. I downloaded the display driver but nothing has changed.
  ANY IDEAS?

  Thank you

  (I have the disks for the restoration, if that helps.)

  > There a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can't read
  If I understand you right you can see when laptop starts and you see Toshiba welcome screen. Is this good?
  When you enter the BIOS settings you see thise lines too?

  Later, when you see the desktop on the external monitor, you can use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between an LCD and external monitor. Please try to use it and post comments if it works or not.

• Satellite L300: Problem with webcam

  Hello. Sorry for my English. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-w15
  I have a problem with the webcam. Tried tons of different drivers. Official drivers from this web site, drivers by number of VID/PID... nothing helps. I think that someone has tried to change firmware on webcam and set bad firmware. Can you tell what webcam is installed on this laptop? Chicony? What model? Now, the web cam code is: USB\VID_0C45 & PID_62C0 & MI_00\6 & B22C026 & 1 0000
  Search by this code, I realized it's webcam from another laptop, Toshiba l300... you can what can I do? Can I change firmware to normal? Where can I take it? For what sex cam should look for firmware...

  Windows xp. tried to reinstall windows... nothing has changed

  Can you please install original OS that you got with your laptop and check the webcam feature?
  Or you got this cam without pre-installed software?
  > I think someone tried to change firmware on webcam and set the bad firmware
  As far as I know Toshiba doesn't offer any firmware for cam, just pilot and Toshiba webcam application. No more than that.

  What operating system do you use?
  You have installed and configured? I ask this question because I don't understand how someone can have access to your laptop?
