Satellite A300 - towers, but do not post

Hello

I hope that someone has had the experience of a similar question to mine, I have a * Toshiba Satellite A300 * which is a couple of years old, but has been problem free until the last two weeks.

The question:
-Laptop turn on but does not post, power tubes, display work etc.
-Let the battery fully discharged and now the power button for 60 seconds will sometimes allow the laptop to work again, but this work around less frequently works all the time.
-The problem is the same with or without battery
-Probably adapter works as the laptop occasionally works and works of battery/power LED

Why the laptop power it will prevent start from time to time?
Tips or advice would be great, apparently not a major hardware problem and it certainly doesn't seem to justify a replacement yet.

Thank you

Hello

Hmm... I guess that if only sometimes maybe it's a malfunction of the equipment. If your computer doesn't start it has nothing to do with Windows so it of not a software problem.

Do you have the hardware upgrades to the last time? Perhaps the new RAM module is not compatible or something else.
You can see the RAM modules to find errors using Memtest86.

In the worst cases, the error is related to the motherboard and it is an expensive part of notebook.
Is your laptop under warranty? Whether an ASP can repair free of charge.

  • Satellite A300 - rotates but does not start

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A300. I had several probems for the boot since 2 months ago: when I want to turn on my laptop, it turns on but the screen keeps black and it does not load the screen "Toshiba Leading Innovation". 'Satellite' (to the left of the mouse) light is on (it would go only about a second then to start and then turn off) and it will turn off.

    I try again for so many times with all the possibilities: without battery, only with the power adapter, two, but it does not start. I don't know what I can do. I always Hibernate my laptop because I'm afraid of can not start it the next day.

    Could you help me? If she cares: I had to buy a new battery (not original from Toshiba) because I had to change the original. No more changes to my laptop.

    Thank you very much and sorry for my English written: S

    Hey Buddy,

    > I had to buy a new battery (not original from Toshiba) because I had to change the original. No more changes to my laptop.
    Of course, it s always advisable using Toshiba original spare parts only, but if you notice the same problem with AC adapter only it s not related to the new battery.

    Just to make a better diagnosis: If you have connected an external monitor? The internal display is perhaps the problem and doesn't turn on and it would be useful if you are testing the situation and an external monitor.

    But this noise as a hardware problem serious and in this case, you can wait to contact an authorized service provider. Technicians professional diagnostic tools to make an accurate diagnosis and to Exchange defective equipment parts.

  • Satellite A300 - easy (key) does not not after SP2 update

    Satellite A300 easy (key) does not...
    I have recently upgraded my Vista SP1 to SP2 (do not know if this is the problem, but I'm pretty sure that's not)

    Yesterday, I discovered that my easy keys no longer work. Lights are out, when I press the keys, the light comes on and goes off again as they do normally, but no reaction on my screen (can not turn on any light without restarting my computer and select turned ON manually cannot transform media of windows opened by the touch and play the key do not work).

    Is it supposed to be a driver or something for this?

    Sorry for the bad English...

    Hello!

    A few days ago, I had the same problem on my laptop Qosmio. Lighting keys stopped working after installing some updates and the 3rd application programs the keys no longer works and also the lighting.
    At the end of the story, I had to reinstall Windows :(

    In any case, now, you should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. He controls these buttons that you want to say and you can find it on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite A300-1NO - webcam does not work, but the LED lights

    Hello!

    I have a laptop Satellite A300-1NO, with Win 7 installed. My problem is that my webcam does not work always, when I want to use it. Sometimes, it works perfectly in Skype, WLM etc... but sometimes I see a white or a black screen with a 'loading circle' in there. Blue is the LED light, I can see it in Device Manager too, but there is no picture, just 'loading '. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it, I installed the new "camera Assistant for Toshiba", without success.

    Is there any solution for this?

    > Is there any solution for this?
    I put t think there is solution for this. If I understand you right there is a problem with software pre-installed. It is not easy to say why this is happening.

    I have Satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Webcam works fine all the time.

    One more thing: have you noticed this problem in the first moments after installing Win7 or later?
    Have you installed something that may be the reason for this?

  • Satellite A300 - S-video does not detect TV

    Dear all
    Last week, I bought your new product: Toshiba Satellite A300

    I liked its release specifications specially s-video.
    When I arrived at my house, I have it plugged into my TV:
    Bomba Toshiba 29A3MJ
    http://www.Toshiba-Gulf.com/site/product/prd_details.asp?prdid=1044&CATID=123

    I used S-Video/RCA cable:
    http://www.accessories-shop.NET/images/5FT_4_PIN_S-VIDEO_to_3_RCA_TV_male_Cable.jpg

    Then, I put the TV fashion which I usually use to another laptop.
    I kept clicking on Fn + F5 on the satellite phone without exploitation.
    Nothing has been posted on the TV screem.
    Before, I used to connect to HP Pavilion dv2000 in the same TV using the s-video and it worked fine.

    Please advice how to solve this problem.
    Best regards

    Hello

    Usually, this should work.
    Both devices must be OFF. Connect then the laptop and the TV using this cable.
    Turn on the TV and the laptop starts.

    If the use of the FN + F5 will not detect the image on the TV then I would recommend checking the settings in your graphics card properties.

    I put t know what graphics card you have, but my Satellite phone has been equipped with the Intel graphics card and I can change the settings in Control Panel-> Intel GMA graphics card.

    Maybe your laptop supports the ATI card. If these parameters were in ATI catalyst.

    PS: Check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS and the latest graphics card driver too.

  • Satellite A300: Polish character does not appear using hotkey with 'c '.

    Hey,.

    I am user of Toshiba Satellite A300 and early on, I discovered that there the combination Alt + C assigned to commissioning ATI - Catalyst Control Center. Unfortunately this combination should normally produce Polish characters 'Â' (it seems not properly on that this page is in some sort after as I copied the word - it's 'c' with stong top - here its capital version "Â" accent).

    However, the necessary character of Polish does not appear.
    I can get the capital version with Ctr + Alt + Shift + c, but no normal version.

    I guess that there must be an error in the locale so I tried to change to English and Polish with zero results.

  • Satellite A300-259 - Windows 7 not genuine

    I received my toshiba recovery media CD today and it has deleted the previous version of windows (vista) and installed windows 7.

    After all configurations, a message appears saying that windows in not authentic.
    I didn't expect this CD to remove vista entirely, but to start from the TI is out of the State of the box, but now I'm running on a different windows and may require a new product key. I tried to put the product key that is located on a label on the back of the laptop, but he says the key is invalid.

    I can't reinstall the previous version of windows that I do not have the CD but need to stick with windows 7 by the look of it.
    Want just a few solutions for this problem, should I leave it as is, contact toshiba or restart my laptop again.

    Help much appreciated.

    I have the Satellite A300 259.

    Thank you.

    > I got my Toshiba recovery media CD today and it has deleted the previous version of windows (vista) and installed windows 7.

    I guess that you have received the disk Win 7 Upgrade from Toshiba.

    > I didn't expect this CD to remove vista entirely, but to start from the TI is out of the State of the box, but now I'm running on a different windows and may require a new product key

    First of all, I guess you used the Vista which has been pre-installed by Toshiba.
    This Vista has already been activated and would not require the key of the system!
    As I know the Win 7 wouldn't too much ask for the key.

  • Satellite A300 - Chicony webcam does not work after upgrade to windows 7

    I'm frustrated so I came here to see if anyone knows a way to help solve this problem.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista 64 - bit pre-installed. After about a year or two to have the laptop, I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. In the process, I believe that the driver of my webcam (Chicony usb 2.0 camera) has been eliminated.

    When I go into the Device Manager in the Control Panel, the webcam is not listed; nor is "imaging devices."

    I tried to download the driver manually, but I get an error message "Webcam open fail." Restart the computer or the camera. »

    My computer has registered my webcam as 'unknown device '.

    If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please, I beg you, let me know.

    > My computer has registered my webcam as 'unknown device '.
    > I tried to download the driver manually, but I get an error message "Webcam open fail." Restart the computer or the camera. »

    This means that the the webcam driver is not installed correctly.
    Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and install the software/driver webcam just for this model of laptop.

    If the installation fails, restart the laptop and the tent.
    This should solve the problem.

  • 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.
