• Satellite A300 - Graphics Driver update needed

  Hello

  I am writing this hoping someone from Toshiba will be able to help me to find and update for laptop Satellite A300, short model: PSAJ4E.
  I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) and Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) on another partition.

  I noticed I was encountering problems more often because of the graphics card is not not to date.
  I am looking for an update for the ATI Radeon HD 3650 series.
  I checked the AMD for and to update, but it seems that most cell phone manufacturers do not want to distribute updates. They had however an update for the ATI Radeon HD 3xxx series in December 2010, but the following comment wrote:

  Following books are not compatible with this version: *.

  All laptops launched after this version of the driver
  Portable computers compatible switchable graphics card using Intel® chipsets.
  * _Toshiba® portable (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these books) _ *.

  Notebooks from Panasonic® (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these laptops)

  This comment is in the following link: [AMD | http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1012ReleaseNotes.aspx]

  And before someone sent it to me in the updated drivers from Toshiba on the following link: [Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 781 & selSho rtMod = 697 & language = 13 & selOS = 30 & selType = all & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 68813 & DISO = 30 & driverLanguage = 42]

  I checked and the update on the Toshiba site is the previous update... it has the * version 8.634.1 * and AMD is at version * _8.801_* with their AMD Catalyst 10.12 software suite.

  I know laptops are not updates as much as a normal desktop pc, but it would be nice to receive updates that came out for the products that we bought.

  If possible could someone direct me, so that I can get the driver for Windows and Ubuntu?

  Kind regards

• Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) - hardware problems after I installed win7 ultimate

  Hello and good day,

  I installed win7 ultimate a few days ago, windows was able to recognize most of my material accepts my build of microphone and camera and another component, I'm not sure what it is (Windows Update automatically downloaded the driver of sound and graphics for me).

  My questions are - where you can find the remaining drivers and where can I get the preinstalled Toshiba tools and software? (The site pilot in the support page Toshiba does not include drivers and software)

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) too and installed Win7 Home premium and everything works perfectly.

  Initially, I must say that I do not know where you are looking for the drivers and tools of Toshiba and that all things because utilities are downloadable on support Toshiba & download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

  It is logical that MIC will not work if you have not installed the appropriate driver. Installing drivers only and not using Microsoft update. What you need are the real and tested and not some free drivers of the internet.

  Go to the Toshiba download page and install all the stuff following this order of installations:
  -Win7
  -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

• Why is it so slow on Satellite A300 PSAG8E SSD

  Hi, guys

  Please help me with the following question. I would like an admin to help me please, or someone very experienced, if possible.

  2 weeks ago, I bought a Satellite A300 PSAG8E. A couple of months before the purchase of this laptop, I had also bought a disc SSD OCZ 64 GB core series v2. I tried several times to install the SSD drive on the laptop, but the answer during the installation of windows and after that when using, the reader response is very, very slowly. It is still slower than with its original 250 GB drive. I compared the SSD with SISOFT SANDRA and confirmed my impression.

  The SSD was assessed at 5400 RPM, strangely the same speed as the original HD 250 GB supplied with the machine.
  I've used different windows CD (including one with SP3) and earlier with SP2, the two original windows, but nothing has changed. I then installed my SSD on my desktop computer and installation and use in the windows environment, is incredibly fast. I put it on the laptop and it's still very, very slowly.

  What is going on? Do you have any suggestions? Y at - it a bug using the SSD on my model?
  Y at - it a firmware update?
  I think it has something to do with the transfer rate of the laptop. Can you help me please?
  What can I do?

  Kind regards
  Dionisis Falireas

  Hello

  May I ask how you installed the Windows XP operating system on this new SSD?

  As suggested above the SATA drivers must be installed or included in the Win XP operating system.
  The SATA drivers are located in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
  The package contains the necessary drivers and theses drivers allow you to use the full capacity of SATA controller.
  Intel Storage Manager can be downloaded from the page of Toshiba and Intel page.

  By the way; It seems that the OCZ 64 GB SSD supports SATA II but I m quote do not know if your A300 supports SATA II or SATA only.
  If it supports only SATA, then this might be the reason why your SSD does not work with the best performance.

  Good bye

• trying to turn on my HP compaq d330 but red light flashes and a beep and nothing does not illuminate

  trying to turn on my HP compaq d330 but red light flashes and a beep and nothing comes up on help a beginner please

  You can try to remove and replace the memory and see if it works.

  If this does not work, delete all except one module of memory (if the PC has more than one) and see if the PC works normally with the chip memory. If it beeps, remove and replace it with the memory you removed and keep doing that until you find the defective memory chip.

• Satellite L300D - new drive HARD and recovery USB loading

  I have a satellite L300D. The hard drive has failed. I have the recovery on a USB part. I bought a new hard drive and that you have installed in the laptop.

  I can boot the laptop off the usb and then when I try to do recovery it asks drivers for HARD drive or he asks the recovery DVD to be installed!

  Anyone know if there is something special I need to do to the new HARD drive?

  Thank you

• 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.

• Satellite 2805-S201: AC power light flashes orange 8 times

  Hello

  I worked on a Satellite 2805-S201 and everything was fine until I put a PCMCIA wireless with 3, 3V power.
  After that, the AC power light flashes orange 8 times and recycle.

  It comes with power supply, battery, AC and no battery installed, etc. If I pull out the power plug and the battery and then put both when AC is green and the battery may charge. As soon as I push the power button, I hear a light click on the right side of the device and then it goes into the amber cycling power.

  Bulletins of support mentioned that the card could get damaged, but did not mention the unit itself.
  No, the PCMCIA card is not always connected

  Any thoughts?

  Hello

  The flashing provides a micro code which refers to the hardware failure.
  But please don't ask me what might mean this code because in my opinion, only an authorized service provider can be read and can check in his manuals and documentations.
  But it is of course, in most cases, it s a hardware problem of motherboard! ;(

  Perhaps the external PCMCIA card was not totally compatible and damages of something on the map but it's only my personal suggestion to ensure what s bad hardware fault diagnosis would be necessary.

• Satellite A300 - cannot install Ubuntu - empty flashing command

  Hello

  I want to install Ubuntu 11.10 on my Satellite A300 (psag4e), but when I insert the installation CD, boot hangs after this part of Toshiba with a flashing empty command line.

  What should I do?

  The value of the default BIOS and try again.
  Are you using the original Linux installation disc?

• Satellite Pro 6100 - problem starting (light flashing Orange)

  On my laptop Satellite Pro 6100, seeing DC IN (first on the left) flashes orange and the laptop does nothing else (no display or sound). The light flashes for 8 times, has a long pause and then starts all over again.

  I tried a different adapter with no joy. It does the same thing if you use only the battery and if you run from the adapter without the battery.

  The only time wherever it shows a different light is when you take the battery out, put back in and hold the power button. Led Slim Select Bay (second right) briefly turns green, but it turns off and the led DC IN resumption of the orange blink.

  It seems likely that it is an internal hardware problem (power supply, motherboard, etc.). Does anyone have any ideas? And as anyone knows anywhere which lists all the different orange light codes for Toshiba laptops?

  Hi André,.

  You are right in thinking that there is a hardware failure (most likely your motherboard). Flashing codes are used by service technicians to indicate the nature of the fault and I have yet to find anywhere who publishes the real meaning of these codes.

  I think it looks like a trip to the nearest Service Agent. :-(

• Satellite A300-1EG - driver Webcam open fail after Exchange of motherboard

  All greetings.

  Recently took the laptop with the service center, it changed the motherboard. Before the service center the camera worked fine, but after taking early displays an error "Webcam driver open fail." Restart the computer or the camera. "Read the posts on this topic wise anywhere to update the BIOS, I renewed, but nothing helped.

  This could be due to the fact that in the service Centre to have forgotten something to connect to the motherboard? Because in Device Manager do not see a web camera. I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 1EG PSAG4E number.

  Thanks in advance for the answer. I would like to hasten to meet to go tomorrow to the center of service or not.

  Hi kuhar2007,

  Maybe the authorized service provider forgot to plug in the power cord, but before to contact them again once you try to reinstall the driver for the webcam. You can get the latest version here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Normally the webcam should be in Device Manager after that. If this isn't the case, you must contact the ASP again. Explain the problem and they will try to help you. ;)

• Satellite A300 PSAG8E does not load

  I have a Toshiba Satalite A300 PSAG8E, which does not load.
  I was given a few days ago by a person stating that he is not working or light - vague details.

  At the reception that he turned on, asked to start windows normally or not, then started absolutely perfect, it powered by the charger, no problem.

  I let him on during some time different tasks.
  I came to him a few days later to find that he had himself set to off.

  I enabled again, how he asked to start windows normally or not. I started normally, and it came on the property.
  Since then I could not to power it on the sector.

  Why not load it now?

  Hi mate

  > Since I could not to power it on the sector.
  > Why didn't he care now?

  I m a bit but confused. What's wrong now? You are not able to feed the device or battery is not charging?

  If you are not able to turn on the unit, then you should try this:
  -Disconnect the battery and AC adapter
  -wait a while (2-3 hours)
  -connect the two parties to laptop and check again

  If your battery does not load:
  Try to update the BIOS and set its default value
  If that does not help, then the battery should be checked
  If the new battery does not solve the problem, then the motherboard must be checked and replaced if necessary.
