• 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?

• Satellite A300-20 b and cooling 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.

  OS: Windows 7

  Have you noticed the same thing with the settings and Vista preinstalled laptop?

• Satellite A300 - "password" on the splash screen

  Hello, I have a problem with my Satellite A300-14 PSAJ0E-00W00PSK.

  * Screen with input "Enter password" appears every time when I turn it on can guess when I put wrong password 3 times, my laptop turns off. I had installed windows 7 with ubuntu for 2 years with no problems, but I can't boot any operating system present (even when I boot with the CD/DVD inserted with windows/ubuntu).

  * When can I get correct password? Or there is another solution to this problem? *

  Thank you for all the advice!

  I assume that your laptop is locked with BIOS password.
  BIOS password can be set only but I put t understand your situation.
  You have blocked your notebook with BIOS password or someone did it without your knowledge.
  Do you have an explanation for this situation.

  In any case, if the BIOS password is not known to you, you must contact the nearest service Toshiba and ask for help. They can remove for you.

• Satellite A500 - crackling sounds and blue screen

  Hey everybody.

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500-19w about 4 days ago (today it is Sunday, March 7, 2010).

  I had the sounds of crackling of my speakers which have been mentioned so many times in the forums, no real solution.
  I also experienced the crash of the blue screen, that's already happened 7 times while I was not strongly using my newly buy laptop.
  I'm not looking for a repair or a replacement, because I find it quite unacceptable to have to think about the errors, faults & fixes as much as the laptop is brand new.

  What I want is a refund, but I'm not sure on how to do it.

  I know that Toshiba has some sort of refund policy, but if someone can tell me exactly how it works, because I want to get rid of my laptop as soon as possible (I will not buy any more portable Toshiba, especially since I had some similar problems with my Qosmio f30).
  If someone can give me some guidance, because I don't want to be mocked or used and cheated out of refund.
  I bought my Toshiba in the Middle East (perhaps refund policies are different here).
  Thank you.

  Hi mihran.

  If you want to pay off your laptop, you should talk with your computer store where you bought it. Only the can repay your laptop and not Toshiba directly.
  Of course it is also depending on the country where you life, but normally you can pay within 14 days I think. So in your case I speak with the seller or give them a call. They explain how to do this.

  But let me give you a little advice: regarding your problems with the crackling sound and blue screen I recommend that you contact an authorized service provider or ask a new A500 (this should be possible if you have only 4 days). Generally, I can say that a friend of mine has Satellite A500 and he is quite satisfied with her. This laptop has a great design equipped with new material for a good price. :)

• 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 A300-15E overheats and turns off automatically

  Hello

  I am trying to solve a strange problem with a Toshiba Satellite A300-15E.

  For me, it's like the laptop overheating CPU. but I accept all suggestions on this subject.

  My customer told me that the laptop is very hot and it runs about 20 minutes then turns off.
  I disassembled it and clean the dust, put the thermal paste on the CPU and VGA.
  After mounting it turns on again and it stops more than a minute.

  My question is where I hurt, what I can do to solve this problem.

  10 x a lot.

• Satellite A300-1AL - keyboard and touchpad issues after change of OS

  Hello

  I'm looking for suggestions or ideas how to deal with the problem of keyboard and the touchpad, which occurred just after I installed the new operating system. I changed from Windows Vista to Windows 7 and my keyboard and touchpad become inactive after a few minutes of starting the system. It is not serious if I write something or not, the unit works for a short time, then turn off automatically. I tried to find updates the driver but failed to come through what might be the solution. It is difficult to work with the screen keyboard so I hope that you will be able to help me.

  Thank you in advance,
  perkit

  I have Satellite A300-1LI and I installed clean Win7 32-bit using the Microsoft installation disc and all devices are working properly including the keyboard and the touchpad.

  Have you installed Win7 upgrade or clean the Win7 version?
  Have you used Microsoft installation CD?
  In General, keyboard and touchpad must work without any additional driver.

• Satellite A300 - dvd, usb and card reader does not work

  Help needed please.

  Have a laptop Satellite A300, running vista.

  Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it. The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full.)

  The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card and the other usb port does not fuction.

  I have not installed or don't remember changing of settings or do whatever it is the habit.

  Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Your ad is very confused.
  > Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it.
  Well, there are several reasons for this; It would be possible that the inserted disc is not completely compatible. Try different drives from different manufacturers.
  It would also be possible that the STRANGE laser lens is dirty. In this case, you might clean using a cotton ball and alcohol tip. In my case it helped.

  > The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full).
  Did you use a compatible card? The laptop runs these cards:
  8MB - 2 GB SD card
  SDHC - 4 GB card
  -16 MB - 2 GB xD Picture card
  Memory Stick - 8MB - 256MB
  Memory Stick Pro - 256 MB - 2 GB
  MultiMediaCard - 8 MB - 1 GB
  miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32 MB - 2 GB

  I recommend also to format the card and to copy files from computer, and then test this.
  You can also reinstall and update the driver for the card reader controller...

  > The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card
  Can't believe that you must use a scanner software (must be provided with the scanner) and have to test this unit. By the way; for the most part a scanner driver must be installed in order to use this

• Satellite L405D-11V - freezes and the screen goes black when you watch the video

  OK, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I had a breakdown, basically, the computer freezes at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still ongoing, this could be at the start, or a few hours using the laptop, so I decided to ring Toshiba technology support and they arranged for my laptop to collect and be expelled for repairs.

  I was able to track repairs online via the tracking service and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, he said that they have ordered a part, it was underway and the repairs are completed.

  However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, all right, I start using the cell phone that everything is fine, so I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so I turned off now pressed the power button, hoping he wasn't that a large, I turn back to and load the video once again it freezes and the screen goes black again, after that whenever I am watching a video or a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze as before the repairs. So there is always a mistake, but I'm not sure what to do

  Its still under warranty, I bought the laptop from the Comet, but I really don't want to send the laptop for repairs again and find it comes back with the same fault, is it interesting sending distributed, maybe see if the comet will replace the laptop as its still less than a year to buy the laptop, or it'll just be useful to save all the hassle and buy a new laptop? If this fault happened to someone else, I could use you some help, and if someone could shed some light regarding what could be bad?

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  You changed something on the configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? You update a driver, or something else?
  What operating system you use on your L405D satellite?

  To be honest it is really hard to say why it happens because technicians test to check if your laptop is running correctly.

  In my opinion you should try to update the display driver. Maybe it's the origin of the problem of s
  If this isn't the case, I recommend installing Windows from Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. These parameters are pre-tested by Toshiba and should work.

  If you still have the problem, you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the online repair and according to your assignment, everything worked well during repair, so in my opinion he should t be a problem to contact guys exactly.
  Explain your very detailed problem. I think that everything can be clarified then. :)

• Satellite A300 - driver webcam and Windows7

  Hello...

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300-146, model No.: PSAJ0E, 1 GB of RAM, Intel Dual core 1.87 processor, chipset Mobile Intel (r) 965 family.

  Now I use Windows7 trial version... I can install all drivers of vista, including the driver of the webcam... I can't open the camera assistant software. If I opened, it says 'Webcam driver open fail. "Please restart camera or computer. However, I can open webcam on yahoo messenger...

  How can I open the software assistant camera...?

  Help me..

  Don't think it's really a problem?
  I doubt that this is because Windows 7 is only a trial version and it is not a version of the end.

  Toshiba is not compatible Windows 7 beta and so you should do a downgrade to Vista or XP. Then your problem should be solved.

  Good luck!

  Hello everyone

  I have a serious problem in my Satellite A300-243. I installed a driver for external keyboard using a CD and once I rebooted both keyboard and touchbpad stopped working and to make any order, when I reached the vista welcome page.
  What should I do because you know that even if I can't get into the windows to uninstall this driver.

  Any way to do during windows startup?

  Hello

  Why you installed a driver for external keyboard? I've never heard of such drivers

  Anyway, you should try to start in safe mode and then you are able to remove driver external keyboard to the list of software. After I restarted in normal mode, the keyboard and the touchpad should work properly again.

  Hello

  It sounds like this dust is in the heat sink and your laptop should be cleaned using the jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can get air to each computer dealer normally stream.
  Check this box!

  I clean my cell phone every 3-4 months and I m always asked how much dust out. I think that s important to clean but it only takes a few minutes. :)
