• Satellite A300-211 - ACPI overheating

  Hello

  Recently my laptop overheating to frequently. I had this problem before and I bought the cooling package and everything was fine. But now, despite the external cooling device he stil stops. I run SpeedFan to see what is causing this problem. Two hearts runs at an acceptable temperature. But there is that this thing called ACPI - Temp1. Exactly what is it? I used compressed air to clean fan and what I was able to clean with keyboard just disassembled.

  I do complete the cleaning? And last question. Is this fan the only source of cooling in my netbook
  I mean it's the only thing I should replace if cleaning does not work?

  Friend of mine has a similar problem with Satellite A300. Problem was overheating and suddenly switch offs. I disassembled the laptop and cleaned the area of cooling fan and cooling rack. It was full of dust and cooling rack was blocked by dust.

  After cleaning laptop was able to catch his breath and he has worked quietly and without compromise.
  I imagine that your laptop is also full of dust and must be cleaned but not using compressed air. Believe me, it must be disassembled cleaned in professional way.

  I must also say that the disassembly can be dangerous if you do it yourself. Something may be damaged so maybe you shouldn't do it yourself. Try to find someone who can do it for you.
  Accredited maintainer can do for you also but I can't say how much it costs. Contact and ask how it works.

• Satellite A210-19Y and overheating

  Hello!

  I had a problem with my Satellite A210 overheating for about 4 hours after I bought it. Of course, I went straight up to the place where I bought it, but they just said it was a problem laptop normal when having an AMD processor and advised that I bought an external cooler. However, the thing is that my previous 3 laptops had all AMD processors, and each of them are always works very well, even if they are aged 3 to 7 years and none of them are overheating, even if I let them run very long (like 24 hours +).

  So my question is, is it really true, I want to buy an external cooler to be able to actually use my laptop? Should not be able to run without needing "help"? Furthermore, I use only my numere on flat tables respectively to school and my home office.

  Sorry if my English is hard to understand, it isn't my mother tongue ;)

  P.S. I installed PC-Wizard to check the temperature, and 3 minutes after the start, he spends 60 ^ o ^ C and stays on that, even if the cooler is running like crazy.

  You should not need an external cooler, laptop is designed to work properly with its factory specifications.

  You should try this:

  (1) an update of the BIOS. Go to the Toshiba website and download the latest version of the BIOS.
  (2) check the dust in the radiator. You can blow off the dust with a can of compressed air

• Satellite A300-1GN and driver Vista x 64 support

  Hello

  I own this model for 2 days (happy?).
  However he seemes logically that if this laptop can support up to 8 GB of RAM (I bought with 4 GB) should have option to install the x 64 operating system.
  It seems, but it's not like I know. There is no drivers for x 64 on the official website of Toshiba download MS Systems.
  Well, I'm able to understand that you do not want to support Win XP x 64, because this system is aging.

  I do not understand how it is possible that every major company supports Vista x 64 to their devices and Toshiba are not.

  It seems absurd that you not deliver the proper drivers and I really can't believe that.
  I am amazing and I hope that the main reason is that the product I own is a new model and drivers soon appears.

  For example, satellite A200 has x 64 support despite the fact that it is a model lower and lower...
  I hope that we can hope that our doubts will explain, and Toshiba will be slight not their longer custommers, but bows to our requests.

  If I can be wrong to seek the necessary drivers, then want to apologize for my post.
  But if I'm wrong I'll be glad to hear the rational response and make sure the drivers coming soon!

  Hi Kuba

  Satellite A300 is one of the new series of Toshiba laptop on the market right now.
  Because most of the people uses the run Vista and Win XP 32 bit OS, drivers for these operating systems must be released first.
  I m sure that the driver 64 bit Vista will follow as other as for other series of laptops

  There is therefore no reason panic buddy

• Satellite A300 - HARD and the Installation of the OS disk replacement

  Hello world

  I watched a few videos online regarding how can I do to replace the two HARD drive in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG4E-04901CEN. However, I have a few inquires before that I undertake this task:

  (1) are there any recommendation to which HARD drive should I buy for this laptop. I want something affordable with speed and relatively good ability.
  (2) how I would go about installing Windows 7 OS on the new HARD drive. I have to update my BIOS and drivers when I finished installing?
  (3) are there other guides (written or video) that you would recommend that I go through before making the replacement?

  I appreciate any help on this matter.

  A few days ago a friend of mine asked me to help. HARD on its A300 disc was defective. We bought the new 250GB SATA HDD, succeeded him, and after that, I installed Win7 32 bit.
  Now the machine works perfectly.

  Do not do anything as the BIOS update. Just put the new HARD drive and launch the installation of Win7. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Here's how I installed all the stuff on A300 friends:
  -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

  Win7 works well and I am very satisfied.

• Satellite A300 sizzling and crackling of smoke

  Hi guys

  My apologies in advance for my noobishness. I've had a satellite A300 for a few years now. In the last 2 days I heard a cracking sound, almost static - like noise on the side of the A300. Aside, I mean specifically the part which is a kind of metal grid - as you type, the left side, the silver metal Rack that is covered by 'sticks' plastic and conforms / spans the esc, numbers, and tab keys. Sorry for that horrible description!

  Anyway - if I heard this noise, and today I opened it from its sleep and went on Mozilla and the sizzle is gone a bit messy, and what looked like dust, or at worst, smoke, was issued by the grill. I quickly turned off and shut it down.

  It does not freeze, or now or touch the grid, it was not very hot. He has not extinguished automatically either. I turned back on it and began to Mozilla and iTunes as a test and the grill has started making a loud, grinding and bad-sounding sound of Purring. No show this time, but I turned off.

  It should be noted - my battery was very low during the past 18 months and I need the laptop on the charge to use it. Although he is in charge, the battery was on 27 percent when I turned it off. When using, my cell phone is always on the charge and Hi performance. Any ideas what it is / what I need to do? Thank you!

  Hello

  In my opinion the laptop s internal cooling and grids of modules, including the cooling fans should be cleaned.
  Generally and jet of compressed air should be good enough to get the dirt and debris removed, but I don't very well if this is useful in your case of m.

  I mean your description sounds odd question, and I think that the laptop needs to be cleaned professionally.

  So I recommend you visit some city centre of technicians for laptop or the Toshiba ASP in your country to get this cooling module cleaned in most cases, this procedure is delicate because the laptop must be disassembled so don t recommend this at home because of the risk of damaging the material.

• Satellite A300-23d and memory upgrade

  Hi all

  I want to upgrade my laptop memory 4 GB to 6 or 8, I got the Satellite A300-23d.

  What is the best memory for me? I'll get the Win7 64 bit OS
  I understand I have to do a clean install of the operating system, so my 2 Q is where can I get all the programs of Toshiba I got with the pc?

  Thannks for the help

  Hello

  Up to 8 GB of RAM according to specification for laptop computer, you can upgrade.
  You must use the RAMs 1 GB / 2 GB / 4 GB DDR2 800 MHz. If you 2x2gb for now, you can buy 4 GB of RAM additional or maybe two of them to use maximum RAM.

  Module of RAM of 4 GB compatible a part PA3670U-1M4G number.

  Win7 drivers download page you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/windows7_drivers.jsp
  Unfortunately for your models PSAGCE drivers are not available for the moment. I'm sure that the pilots will be ready for download in the next few days. From time to time to check this page and you will see when drivers will be there.

• Satellite A300-1PH and default supervisor password

  I have a laptop that I bought only last week.
  When I press F2 when the system starts, it ask for password.
  Does anyone know the default password for the Satellite A300-1PH model?

  Laptop Toshiba computers are not locked by any type of password and history is somewhat strange.
  Perhaps you should clarify this with your local dealer.
  Purchased laptop, which was in the showroom?

  Has anyone access your laptop?

• Satellite A30 - RAM and overheating

  I have a Toshiba laptop but I'm not sure the exact model

  It says on the bottom SA30 - 203 years PSA30E - 00EU5-EN, he bought there is a little less than 2 years

  The reason for asking is that I want to improve the memory, because it is only 256 mb atm application to 224 MB!

  I have also some problems with it in this is very slow, it takes 5 minutes to start and I think it is overheating, as it regularly shuts down unless you hang the side fan a few inches on the desktop... Anyone have any ideas?

  [Edited by: admin August 24 05 18:50]

  Hello

  You will find a lot of discussions in this forum dealing with overheating and recommendations to correct the problem.

  The basic procedure is to remove the grilles of suction air of dust and debris. This can be done using a vacuum cleaner hose to vacuum debris, or by removing the CPU itself radiator and manually remove any build-up.

  Regarding the issue of the RAM, the SA30 use RAM shared for his graphics card, and this allocation will be deducted from the total RAM available in the BIOS. For a 256 MB RAM module, the proportion for the graphics card will be 32 MB that will leave 224 MB of memory for general use. It is this figure that signals the system.

• Satellite A300-1MC and autonomy

  Hi all

  I've had my new laptop for 2 months now and overall I am satisfied, only 2 points of clarification I need help is the following:

  (1) when I charge the battery completely and then click the icon in the lower right of that remaining battery life is 1 and a half hours...!
  I thought the average standard was 3 hours? This means that my battery is defective? If someone else has the A300-1MC, what is your life Baker?

  (2) when I start the unit takes about 1 min and a half... I uninstalled all startup applications and the disabled unnecessary applications in the Device Manager, is there anything else I can do to speed up the start to the top?

  Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  > 1) when I charge the battery completely and then click the icon in the lower right of remaining battery life is 1 and a half hours...! I thought the average standard was 3 hours? This means that my battery is defective? If someone else has the A300-1MC, what is your battery life

  Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop computer if the CD/DVD and HARD disk then runs the battery icon will automatically show a short time working.
  Also display high brightness waste energy from the battery.

  If my laptop is running on battery power, then I decrease the brightness of the screen to a lower level. This allows to use the laptop a little longer; for about 2 hours.

  But if you want to run Notepad as long on battery so I would also recommend buying a stronger battery. for example, a battery 9 cells.

  Good bye
