Satellite A300 think button is held down and starts (long)

Hey sorry it's long, but I'd really like some help,

OK, so I was wondering if there is a way to solve this problem...

I was on my Satellite A300 (just over a year) last night playing Left 4 Dead 2 demo using stream network and everything suddenly co-op Online camera Assistant window opens minamising Left 4 Dead 2.

I found it strange because I had closed the sidebar of popup for Camera Wizard at startup so that there would be no popup and do exactly what he did...

Then after be confused I just clicked on Left 4 Dead 2 and thought 'I'll deal with that in a sec... When Left 4 Dead 2 she maximized again, (it took a few moments where there is a black screen and about 1 second of audio loopback), I couldn't play physically, but I could watch the game in a special mode that allows to pause and let HAVE succeed for a while. Also the game in chat window has increased.

I was at the first try just click the button disable control DO but the game wouldn't answer. Then section entered the window of my cat began to fill with ' black so I tried to get rid of them. All I could do was culminating with my mouse, then more ' zaeza them would replace.

After trying for a while and Ctrl + Alt + Del Alt + F4 with no response except for the ' black poor computer must be stretched with Left 4 Dead, I decided open and Stream, Illistratror and the camera open in the background then I pressed the power button (set to stop on my computer) and waited...

Left 4 Dead 2 closed, as camera Assistant, I think... and then it froze little so I just held down the power button (sorry, I know it probably wasn't the best move) and my laptop is off...

Well, when I tried to turn it back on the screen black "Toshiba Leading Innovation" appears along with the small footer explaining what to do F2 and F12. After that, the screen switches to the small blinking text bar thing (sorry I dunno what it's called...) but the bar flashes and stays there for about 4-5 seconds and then blinks and the new, although it seems slightly duller in color) and then only once (from the computer even if the headphones are plugged) and Yes... I need to disable...

Remembering of the ' Melissa I assumed that the computer was not happy that 'u' button was held down at startup so keep in mind that the fron keys are actually removable, I (very carefully) removed the front "u". Everything looked "normal" under... (I compared it to the key 'y') and so he presses a few times and re-places of the façade. On count it... Same thing happened...

I then tried to take out the battery and then put it in to see if this would help... Again, the tone has played... I have unplugged my iPod, took on the CD and removed the memory card to see if it would help... It didn't unfortunately.

So next I tried to turn on the whist of the computer by pressing the 3 keys (I thought it might cancel the 'u' key) key maintained abd "b + n + m". The first time I did this boot manager Windows open instead of the ring. I have Windows Vista so when I tried to continue pressing "enter" nothing happened... Then I turned off the computer and tried again (this time with q + w + e as I thought maybe hold b + m starts Boot Manager). This Windows error recovery time is displayed with the options; Safe mode, Mode safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt Mode and start Windows normally. Yet once Enter would not work... And this is my time so far...

Please help if you can >: I'm afraid if I take on a Japanese person Compute they will wipe everything...

Thank you

Rochelle

(again, I'm sorry this is so long but I thought people might wan't details...)

Hello

You can try to start windows in safe mode by pressing the F8 key and then choose Safe mode.
Then windows should start only using certain necessary processes
If the history is related to the issue of software then you should be able to start safe mode

  • Satellite A300-1EC cannot load the OS and restart just /shuts down

    Can you help me with my problem of A300 PSAG0Elaptop.

    This is the case:
    before that I can still use my laptop normally without plugging the power cord but when plug the source ca the unit restarts all of a sudden. I charge the battery only when the unit is off. And now the worst case gets when I installed the recovery disk hoping would solve the problem. I can no longer load the operating system; It's just loading then it does not load and suddenly shuts down and sometimes simply frozen. I have not tried the safe mode, mode ahci, system recovery, system repair, and stil no chance.
    I brought this already at the center of ASP service and they demanded almost 1 unit brand new laptop for repair of my laptop is not advisable to send them to repair.
    I doubt that my system bios is not compatible with my vista Home premium OS, or perhaps my wife update of the bios that is not compatible in windows update. My current bios I checked is 1.4

    Given that I have no option instead of junking my laptop, I want to update or back to the original settings of the bios that can help to repair my device.
    Can you help me on how to update or revert to the original my system bios? As I can't access the windows can you teach me step by step using the usb port of my camera on system bios update? Or do you have any suggestions?

    Hey Buddy,

    First of all, the BIOS can only be updated Windows System. There is no other version that you can download on the site Web of Toshiba.

    But I doubt that this problem is caused by the BIOS. It s I knew not that it is possible to change certain values which make impossible Windows installation. With other words BIOS is secure and with all the settings, it should be possible to install Windows.
    An alternative you can press F9 in BIOS to load the default settings. That would be the best option.

    But according to your assignment, if Windows installation of recovery disc doesn t work and you are not able to charge the battery while the laptop is turned on it seems to be a hardware malfunction because seriously it has nothing to do with the software.

    So either come you into contact with the ASP to get the repaired device or you can repair yourself with original spare parts with parts ASP or second-hand on eBay or similar platforms.
    Of course, you can buy a new laptop: in case the motherboard would be defective because the motherboard is very expensive spare part, it would be the best choice in my opinion.

  • Re: Satellite A300 - 20 - p "GetProfString is down", if I install VAP

    I install my recovery disks and the mute button does not work

    And I saw the same problem in some topics here, and I have the soluition setps you give, but when I run the installer for VAP get a message 'GetProfString failed '.

    Please help me

    To be honest, I think you have misunderstood something. I have Satellite A300 too and I can confirm that after clean install of OS this mute button isn't here for the mute option, but for lighting ON / OFF.

    For silent use FN + ESC key combination. Compare also the symbols on the illuminance and ESC key and you will see that they are not the same. On the light button, it is symbol of light and ESC you will see the symbol of speakers.

    Toggle the mute option FN + ESC key combination?

  • 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.

  • Re: Satellite A300 - the recovery disc include music and programs?

    I have a Satellite A300 and were invited to "recover"my computer."

    I did not yet a recovery disk and I was wondering if the files (ie. music) would be included in the recovery, and if they were not would be removed. Also, I was wondering about the programs (ie. iTunes), it will be recovered because I do the recovery with installed disk.

    It's just a problem because I have 250GB of music and I would like to take a moment to move to my laptop hard drive and it would really screw up iTunes.

    Hello

    It s a good idea that you think about the creation of a Toshiba Recovery disk because you need so Vista doesn t start. This could happen

    In any case, the Toshiba Recovery disk, you can create with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. What does the program do?
    The recovery disk creator burn a boot drive with a factory image. This means that all the files you have stored on the computer or programs that you have installed are not on the recovery disk. The image I made is stored on the second partition of your laptop in the folder HDDrecovery.

    So before starting the recovery disk, you should back up all the files on a DVD or external HARD disk. The complete HARD disk will be formatted with the recovery disk.

    Moreover, you know the function of HARD drive recovery? It s similar to drive recovery but it formats only the first partition. You can start this feature Toshiba if you go into the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer and then choose the Toshiba Recovery option. Then you come back to factory settings.

    But the files and programs that you have installed don t affect this image. So don t you worry about this and back up your files at any time.

    I hope you understand now and if you have any other questions, please let us know!

    Good bye

    Hello

    You mean all Toshiba control buttons (IE pause, play, stop, lighting, etc.) don t work yet, you have installed the new VAP?

    One of my friends had the similar problem and he has reinstalled the VFR too.

    Something was confusing upward.

    He used the recovery disc and then everything worked again

    I don't know why this happened, but maybe it has something to do with MS updates

  • Table update do not command button is held down

    Hi guys,.

    My application gets the data and then returns it in a table that is updated after each set of data is read. This part works fine, however I also require the user to be able to hold down one of the two buttons to control the function of an actuator control (forward and backward). Explain it further, when one of these buttons are pressed a voltage is output, releasing the tension is reset. However, the key is held down the table does not continue to date, when the button is released the table then updates through all the values in the queue. I understand that this is most likely a problem with holding the button causing the other user interface events are not processed. I therefore tried to use ProcessSystemEvents(), ProcessDrawEvents(), and experiments using an async timer to control the update of the UI through PostDeferredCallback(), all this without success.

    If anyone can help with a solution that would allow me to run both of these functions required at the same time it would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance

    Ben

    Problem solved by simply swallowing the event, I am able to perform the functions desired!

    See you soon

  • Satellite A300 DVD tray will not open and cause high CPU utilization peaks

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 MM and I have a problem with the optical drive (Mat * un DVD Ram Uj880as):

    DVD - RAM plateau sometimes refuse to open. The LED lights up briefly, but still nothing. Windows recognize the drive but the plateau of refuses to open. Eject commands the position of work and management of the computer-> disk management will not work. I can open the tray manually but the optical drive will not read any cd/dvd. No error code in return.

    When that happens it cause peaks of high utilization of the processor (from 60 to 100%) in the System Idle Process. Just stop and restart it solve. After that, the laptop also runs fine and the optical drive.

    I replaced Win7 32-bit with a 64-bit version and the problem persist.

    Help, please. Thank you.

    I have the same machine with Win7 32 bit and use several players. Everything works perfectly. On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. The configuration of your laptop is not known to us, and we don t know how you set up your operating system and additional applications are preinstalled.

    Maybe stupid advice now, but you must install recovery image original Vista that you got with the functionality of your laptop and test with the factory settings. If the same problem occurs we can chat about it.

  • Re: Satellite A300-1MS - after a few minutes DNS no longer works

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A300-1 ms with Windows Vista Home Premium SP2. What happens is that after a few minutes, surfing the web, I can't navigate more unless I restart the PC. It happened with SP1, SP2, IE7, IE8 and Firefox. The only service that stop working suddenly is browsing when "http://dns_domain" is entered in the Solution Explorer. These other services running ok:
    -Skype
    -updated windows
    -update anti-virus
    -http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (using IP instead of domain)
    -nslookup, so the connection to the dns server seems to be ok
    -ping to the router

    The only solution is to restart the PC (turn on/off the network interface or reboot the router does not resolve the issue)
    This happens with the help of wi - fi and wired LAN

    Does anyone have a clue on what could happen and how to solve?
    Thank you very much for reading this post!

    Hello

    Sounds like the system service domain name (DNS) stopped working after a few minutes. Please check the Services (start > run > services.msc) if the DNS client is always started. Also, try to restart this service. It work?

    What antivirus software or security is installed? Try to update and disable the software just to test.

    Sorry, but that's all I can say at the moment.

  • Satellite 5100 503: change the HARD drive and start questions

    My hard drive in my Satellite 5100 broke down and I want to change it.

    According to various posts in the forum, it is not possible to start the 5100 from a CD when there is a (new) hard drive in the machine. And the only way to change the boot sequence is via Windows - what does more - there is no other way to change the settings of the BIOS within Windows.

    I looked in the manual - I find no mention after pressing F12 C or any other combination to change the boot sequence (of course I tried yet without result). The only thing I found possible is to press ESC + F1 for BIOS settings default _restore_. And turning the power on by pressing on the left of the space bar gives me the opportunity to Flash a new BIOS.

    Is this really so? Because that would mean I'm stuck. And in this case I will just save the money for the new hard drive and throw my laptop... (and probably by another brand next time - but I sincerely hope that is not so much...)

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards
    Thomas

    Nice. ;)
    To my knowledge, it was always possible to boot from the CD. Also, after replacing the HARD drive

    This means you have only problems with this game?
    To be honest, this game is not known to me so you checked whether it s compatible to Windows 7? Some older games is not compatible, or you need to run in compatibility mode.

    Otherwise, make sure that the last official website of Toshiba display driver is installed and update your DirectX version.
