• 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?

• 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 (PSAJ0E) - update after the BIOS, I can't start

  Hello

  I have an A30, and I tried a bios update to 4.2 which is the latest version for my model. BIOS update went well spent, that it prompted me to restart the laptop once the process is complete, but after this, I was not able to start. I made the screen where I can enter the BIOS Setup (that I can actually do and I am able to change the settings and save them) but after that the screen goes black and it crashes.

  At first, I thought I did something wrong and upgrade does not work well, then I started looking for the bios crisis recovery methods, I found this article:
  http://CRD.Y1.cc/
  After the steps, I managed to get my USB floppy drive works and, hopefully, flashing the BIOS, but it didn't help it would always hang at the same stage.

  My laptop has a warranty expired, so I can't fix it for free, and the service will probably cost me half of its price. Is there anything else I can do to get it fixed?

  I thought to Flash an older version of bios - perhaps the last 4.2 is not really compatible with my model, but I couldn't find everything... is it possible to get an older version of bios and give it a try with a floppy drive?

  Thank you
  Anton

  *@DCRM*
  You have a laptop A300D. It s a series different and, therefore, you couldn't t use the BIOS files designed for A300 series!
  This may damage the module ROM and mobo!
  You can find the latest version of the BIOS on the Toshiba European page of the driver... otherwise, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance, or an older version of BIOS.

• Satellite A300 - starts, but I don't know why

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 and the following events occur:

  I turn off the phone properly, I close the lid, and sometimes with the valve closed the laptop starts normally, both the battery and without. I went through all the power options, and I put that closing the lid do nothing if this was the case. For some reason, Notepad starts do not know why. Perhaps, it is important to update the BIOS?

  I had one of you '? I had many laptops and never exceeded. I hope you tell me clues.
  Greetings and thank you very much.

  Hello

  Then you have already solved the problem?

  If this isn't the case, you should try to disable the wake on LAN functionality that you can find in the BIOS. In my case it worked.

• Satellite A300 starts sometimes like when you turn it on

  Hey people,

  So my sisters laptop (satellite A300) was more than heating for basically since we bought it, but now I think that has caused a serious problem.
  Now it does not start at times like when you turn the backlight only market not even turn on.

  Hard drive does nothing basically nothing just the power light comes on it is all.
  But when I remove the charger and close the lid and open it again, wait like 2 minutes it magicly towers, so it's the startup problem.

  This may have something to do with it, but when you plug the cable that the tactile area (above the keyboard) lights up if laptops or disable but don't market not turn on if not plugged Chargers... also touch dosen't work area.

  So many things hope you understand all this, thank you!

  Hello

  I think that this is related to the problem of equipment; Maybe this problem of motherboard or power suply electronics problem.
  But that's just a guess and no one here will be able to say what's going wrong with your laptop until it has been checked by a technician.

  That's why I put t think you could solve this problem, install the new OS or new BIOS.
  I therefore recommend to request a laptop technician help and equipment to check.

• Satellite A300 - 21H - means that the hidden partition?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A300 - 21H and using MS vista but will get soon dual boot ubuntu.
  When I look to the top of the size of my disk I see drive C is Go 148 and then there's an E drive also to 147 GB.
  The E drive is ntfs (contains a folder named file text and drive HARD recovery) - I assumed it was the recovery disk, but it seems pretty huge!.

  Then I looked in the manula see retrieve it should be 1.5 GB and there is also a shadow of 1.5 GB on the disk drive.
  My question is what is the E drive, I can merge with the C drive? and I can wipe and always use the 1.5 gigabytes to retrieve things? and the two backup DVD I made what they are for?

  Thanks in advance:
  Patrick

  Hey Buddy

  The book contains 3 partitions;
  A partition contains the operating system Vista
  The second partition contains the folder of HARD disk recovery. This HARD drive recovery is necessary for HARD drive recovery procedure. You can grab the laptop without using the disk. You can boot from the HARD drive and can start the HARD drive recovery process.
  But it s is strongly recommended to create a recovery disc! This could be useful if something goes wrong with the preinstalled operating system and HARD drive recovery.

  Last partition (one hidden) contains the backup files in Vista called Windows re.
  These backup files are needed to repair the operating system in critical situations
  It s no. recommended to remove, delete or merge this partition!

• Re: Satellite A300-20F - cannot find the hardware installation for Windows XP

  Hello

  Someone at - it? Please give me a link.

  Sorry for my English, I'm form Poland: P

  Hey Buddy,

  You must download the Toshiba Utilities. It seems that HWsetup is part of it, you can read in the description:
  + This program allows you to customize the settings of your hardware, depending on how you work with your computer and the devices you use. To start the utility, click the Start button and select Control Panel. In Control Panel, select the icon Configuration HW TOSHIBA. +

  You can download it from the official page of Toshiba:

• How can I configure Satellite A300-148 boot from the recovery partition?

  Hello

  I had some problems when trying to install MAC - OSX, for her, where the partition table is deleted, then I retrieve the entire score as it is, but I can not start in any case.
  Then I decide temproraly install another copy of vista drive Vista (not the partition), then set up my laptop to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall the good copy.
  My problem is, it's all here, the only problem is, I need to configure the system to boot from the recovery partition.

  My device is:
  Satellite A300-148

  Thanks to the device.
  Ahmed.

  Hello

  If you have already changed the partitions of HARD drive and deleted files from the HARD disk, then your HARD drive recovery is too bad!

  But to make sure that the HARD drive recovery is not possible please press F8 immediately after the power of the laptop. Usually a start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the option called fix my computer. Then you should be able to choose recovery option.

  But like I said that this is only possible if your HARD drive was not formatted!

  If you have formatted the HARD drive and changed partitions then you will need a Toshiba DVD recovery that you have not because you didn t he create at the beginning. Is this good? Well, then you must order the recovery DVDs if you want to retrieve the laptop to factory settings.

• Satellite A300 - is not eject the CD/DVD drive

  I have exactly the same problem with my 4 month Satellite A300. Every now and then and apparently without cause, the CD-ROM drive (Mat * a DVD - RAM) refuses to open. The little light near the eject button flickers when the button is pressed, but nothing. It will do if the drive is empty or not. Device Manager can see the disk and claims that it works correctly and that the driver is up-to-date. But if, for example, I display open with a trombone player and load a DVD, ImageBurn (which could also see the drive) calls for a communication error (e/s).

  Nothing seems to make the drive to work once he got into this State with the exception of a reboot, and even in this case we know remain 'dead' until a second reboot.

  I followed the instructions on [this site | http://www.randomfix.com/2007/04/12/windows-vista-%E2%80%93-missing-cddvd-rom-drive/] and the disc looked good for three days, then made his old trick. I checked the registry and the filters that I removed is still deleted. I uninstalled the drive via the Device Manager and let Vista find again to restart. Everything worked fine for 24 hours then the problem comes back.

  When the drive opens the button it works perfectly in all ways music - reading, writing, start, DVD...

  Very frustrating.

  The above post was originally a response on an existing thread, so I don't know where the rest disappeared. And I can't change it. This forum works as well as laptops.

• 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

  Hello

  where can I get the latest drivers for a Satellite A300?
  The toshiba driver is 2008 - now, we almost 2011.
  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.

  Good bye
