Satellite A300 - screen is at the lowest brightness

Hello
Can someone help me with my Satellite A300?
Where my Fn keys F6 & F7 (brightness) does not work. My screen is currently at the lowest brightness.

Thank you

Hi epdanao,

Have you installed another operating system or changed something on the installation of the software? You have any idea why FN + F6/F7 don t work anymore?

All FN keys on your computer are controlled by value added and Flash Cards Support utility package. So in your case I would recommend reinstall both applications. They can be downloaded on the official page of Toshiba for free:

I hope that helps! :)

  • Satellite A300 - grayish colors on the screen

    Where to play games on my Satellite A300 (PSAGCA-02W010) and looking at photos of all colors seem a bit dull and grayish. When I called they said them it could be "limits the display" and I could have looked but I would be charged $120 if it was because of the limitations, I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems with screens.

    It looks like my companion of hewlett packard LCD display which is very old.

    Any advice would be helpful!

    I have Satellite A300 and colors on the display are clear and bright.
    What games do you play? Something in the dark?
    Have you noticed the same thing if you use Vista OS for the daily work as Web-based applications or in the office?

    AFAIK, the chipset drivers are responsible for the usb, esata functions but you already reinstalled it. Have you tried to remove the chipset drivers in Device Manager and reinstall again? If still does not solve your problem, it may be the operating system itself. Using the preinstalled operating system or Windows disk?

  • Re: Satellite A300-243 - updated after the BIOS, it did not work

    Dear members...

    Good day...

    I have a problem with Toshiba Satellite A300-243, I installed the Bios after you download from Toshiba Web site, and when it's over, he restarted the machine and did not work, just turned on.

    So if any body can help me to solve this problem, I'm happy.

    Thank you...

    Hello

    It looks like that the BIOS update has no...

    What can you do now?
    Yourself you can do nothing. The only change is the authorized service provider. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module

    Sorry mate, but in this case you need professional help.

  • Satellite A300 - screen goes really bright

    After that I connect everything works well on my Satellite A300, but after a minute or so, the screen gets really bright, can someone there help me with this problem? Thank you.
    Games like cod4 work fine without any extra brightness.

    As far as I know Vista there are 7 levels of display brightness. To be honest, I can't imagine that is the lower, for you, too bright, but all we have own opinion on it. Just for example, for my daily work, I use level 6. I don't like the maximum level.

    So there is not much you can do. Power settings choose your preferred plan (I use BALANCED) and set the brightness of the display. This plan will be loaded whenever you start your laptop and you can work on your laptop by using the lowest level of brightness.

    That's all that I can say about it.

  • Re: satellite A300 screen turns off after the toshiba logo, will not boot from the CD/DVD

    Hello, I have this problem with Toshiba satellite A300.

    I deleted several files and folders of my drives C and E. To restart the computer, it only shows the Toshiba logo then a slightly gray white screen on a thorough inspection. Whenever I press CRL + ALT + DELETE, the computer restarts and behaves in the same way.

    I tried to use an external monitor, but there is no difference. The tent to start using a CD/DVD, same behaviour occurs, it does not start and screen remains blank after the Toshiba logo, I tried even to change g the order of boot, but in vain.

    What could happen?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It seems that you deleted system files and Windows no longer starts. Have you tried to restore the disk image factory settings or hard drive recovery? Or do copy the Windows installation... It is easier to reinstall rather fix the problem.

  • Satellite A300-215 - cannot get the mode full screen

    Hi people!

    Yesterday bought a beautiful 215 Satellite A300 - Intel Core 2 Duo / P8700 / 2.53 Ghz / 15. 4 WXGA / * Radeon HD 3650 * / 400GO
    "Works like a Ferrari, but has a problem of querky get a full screen whenever I try to play any media, for example watching footy, movies, the screen will just go *" FULL SCREEN "*: (: (, tried my best change the display resolutions in the control panel in all possible ways, but can't it upwards with a full screen full.))"

    Downloaded yet another driver nvidia video driver that corresponds with the books of Toshiba, but it does not work. The current driver I have to view it of ATI Mobility Radeon 3650, also of no assistance?

    When I try to set the resolution fpr the wmp player or player spvod to fit the entire screen, the page turns just huge, unmanageable, it's fine with laptop functions, no problem. at all, but not possible to take advantage of any media-magnified.

    Strongly, I'd appreciate it if someone could help me please solve this, thanks in advance! Soon :)

    Hi Amor,

    > Downloaded yet another driver nvidia video driver
    Are you kidding me? : D
    Why you are downloading a nVidia display driver if you have a Radeon HD 3650 graphics card?
    I put t understand this

    Anyway, you have full screen in Windows, or this only happens if you play any media?

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you have installed XP yourself or was it is preinstalled on your laptop? You should test it with OS preinstalled Toshiba, maybe that s a software problem.

    Also make sure that this latest version of the BIOS is installed and verify in the display settings, the image format Options. It must be set to full screen.

  • Satellite A300 starts spinning on the cover

    Hi all

    This is my first post here.

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 and lights up whenever I close the lid/screen of the laptop it self.
    After having reduced the media bar above the keyboard, I found that if I turn the laptop and then press on the media bar, that he turns on the laptop.

    I unplugged the cable and I can close the lid and everything is OK, as I thought it was the switch first.

    any ideas?

    Concerning

    Hello

    The control panel of the system above the keyboard contain different buttons.
    The button Mute, Media Play/Pause button etc. are available on some models and the appearance may vary.

    But as far as I know even if the laptop is powered, press the media button would be powering the laptop and start the program which allows to play CDs or DVDs: for example windows media player. This setting is configured as a default setting.

    As far as I know, you should be able to change that using the tool of Support of Toshiba Button. This utility controls the operation of the key on the computer.

    Hello

    You simply take a look in the manual of the user that was preinstalled on your laptop.
    On my laptop, the operating manual has been preloaded with too, and I could find all the necessary information concerning the upgrade of RAM.

    The manual says you can use PC2-5300 modules if the A300 would support the RS690M/PM965/GM965 chipsets. But if the laptop is equipped with Intel GL960 chipset, so you can only use the PC2-4200 modules.

    Using the Intel GL960 chipset you can extend the RAM to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB RAM)

    See you soon

  • Satellite A300 screen keeps jumping up down

    Hello

    What is on my screen continues to jump up and down, ideas, is it a problem with the video card in Satellite A300?

    What part of the screen do you mean exactly?

    Do you mean the mouse cursor or the entire screen?

    I m not very well that this could cause this problem but maybe that there s a problem driver so the first step, you should try to update the display/graphic driver.

    In addition, you can check if the same question would be visible on the external monitor.

    So just give them a call and ask for that. I m you will get a detailed response. :)

  • 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:

  • 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: Where to find the most recent 2008 GPU driver

    For new software, I need the latest drivers. Toshiba stopped at 7. XX Intel itsself provides Version 15.X.

    Y at - there a Posibility to use the integrated graphics driver intel?
    Y at - there a Posibility to change the Intel driver to be installed on the laptop?

    For me, this is no ' support' to quit to force pilots with the delivery of the laptop - systems and OS change and must be updated.

    any help?

    > Is there any Posibility to use the integrated graphics driver intel?
    > Y at - there a Posibility to change the Intel driver to be installed on the laptop?

    You can try to install the driver of graphics card in the Intel page.
    If the installation using setup.exe will not work, then try to install the driver through the Device Manager.

    Here you can choose the Advanced installation procedure which allows to point to the files in the driver downloaded from Intel page and this will force windows choose exactly this driver.
