Satellite A300 - USB drives do not work!

I have a satellite A300 and it has 1 usb port on the left and 2 on the right. The one on the left works perfectly well, but both left work at all which is really irritating.

When I try and use the 1st, a bubble pops up saying: peripheral USB not recognized and when I use the 2nd one nothing happens at all. Ive downloaded the lates bios update, but it did not work.

Help please!

Have you updated the chipset drivers? Here, you will also find Toshiba Europe site where you downloaded the latest version of the BIOS.

It could also be a hardware problem, but first of all, I would like to try a recovery facility. If you have the recovery disk try this.

  • Satellite A300-1MC - WLan is not working - no network controller

    Just bought Satellite A300-1MC.
    It does not recognize Netgear wireless network (even with 'walk' "and switch alt F8 active), or a BT HomeHub network (is not 'see' their at all).

    To check device manager... can not see that there is no installed... wireless driver no wireless card doesn't seem to be listed. (Network controller has a yellow exclaim question). Network card installed is REALTEK RTL8102E PCI... which I think takes care of the wired ethernet connection).

    Any ideas how to get operating a wi - fi connection? (I have "worked around" the issue of a Wi - Fi connection using a card spare provided by NetGear USB, but I would get the internal card to work.)

    Should I have the software for the network controller? If so, what & where I get it? Or a driver for the card Wi - Fi internal? If yes what is it and where to get them?

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Well, I think you mixed with something.
    The LAN card is Realtek but the WLan card comes from Intel!

    So if you wifi card doesn't work I recommend that you download the WLan driver from this page:
    http://195.182.196.33/WLAN/?page=downloads

    Here you choose the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 driver that should work for sure.

    Good bye

  • 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 - 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 FN + F5 does not work properly

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A300, PSAGCA-09U01N.

    I would like to connect a coard S-video from my laptop on my TV, and when I press FN + F5, I don't get the icons appear along the top of my screen _anymore_.
    I always get the plug S-video works, but going from normal setting (just laptop screen) by other modes ('laptop screen + TV' etc) is very slow. Can someone please.

    Hello

    Hmm... If the icons don't appear if you press a FN key you must reinstall Toshiba value added package if you use Vista or Windows 7. You can download it on the Toshiba driver download page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    Value added package controls the FN and enlightenment for example keys in order to check this!

  • Satellite A300-V01 - webcam does not work with msn

    Hi all

    I was wondering if there was someone out there who could help me...

    I recently bought an A300/V01 and try to use the web camm for it, but whenever I open it on his own (not with msn or any other program), it freezes and will not work, and when I try to send my web cam on msn it tells me that there is no connected webcam.
    I'm pretty computer illiterate so iv tried to fix it myself but sadly failed.

    so, if there is someone out there who knows how to fix it would be great if you could help...

    Thanks xoxo

    Go to the Toshiba website and to update the camera/Webcam driver.

    Also try closing/leave the camera software help.

    You should also install Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1), if it is not installed.

    And to ensure that upgrade to the latest version of MSN Messenger.
