Satellite A300 windows on the grid does not

Hello.

I have a Satellite A300 only recently begun to close without warning. I first thought this may be a virus problem, but after the execution of various virus programs I excluded it as likely a cause. Thinking that the problem can be caused by a recently installed program, I did a restore of the system without result. The problem got worse for a few weeks, and after a lot of tests and trials, I now have the following problem:. The laptop runs without problem on the farm, but if I plug my adapter, it stops a few seconds. It will run on the network in SafeMode for hours, but if I try to start it with hands attached, it will go beyond the start of Toshiba for the "bars" screen and then stop. The battery is charged, but only when the laptop is turned off.

I have already spend a lop of time on it and have tried different adapters to exclude the possibility that it may be defective. I also disassembled the unit and clean the fans, etc.

After reading some suggestions on different forums, I'm now trying to upgrade the bios (there is one available for this model), but have now run into a brick wall. I continue to receive various error messages when I try to update the bios. 1 insyde flash can't load the driver... He told me to run as administrator (I am), and the suggestion that it is for me, it's that I can't upgrade the Bios on battery... BUT that's all that I can run. The only time that it is running on the electric network is in safe mode, and then it won't let me upgrade the Bios. Help Help Help. The laptop is about to become landfill. The only thing I haven't done is reset to the factory setting. Suggestions for my bios problem please...

Thanks in advance

Hello

In my opinion the update of the BIOS would not help you to solve this power off of the issue.
Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop must turn off not with the AC adapter.

To be honest, I think the problem might have something to do with the motherboard.

Usually laptops would be shut down automatically due to a higher temperature, but in your case, I doubt its problem of temperature from the laptop stops immediately start the operating system.

Back to BIOS update issue:
As far as I know, the adapter must be connected in order to update the BIOS. In SafeMode it s not possible to update the BIOS.

I not quite sure if faulty RAM could bring this maybe not RAM problem, but of course, you can try to start the device using a module of RAM only Mr. you test the two Rams in each slot.

However, if anything would help him, the technician should run some diagnostics to determine the cause.

  • Reduction in the size of the grid does not work

    I just installed Lightroom 5.7 on a laptop MSI Windows 8.1.

    The "-" key does not decrease the size of the grid, and or not clicking on the field to "reduce the size of the grid" in the "View" menu

    Unfortunately, 'increase the size of the grid' worked and now I'm stuck with just two images in my view of the grid.

    5.7 Lightroom works perfectly on my desktop in Windows 7.

    Yes, thank you - I didn't even know there is a slider on the toolbar, but it does not work at least.

    The grid down size menu item should also work, so I'd like to get it fixed somehow, but at least I now have a usable grid.

  • Satellite X 200-219 - the touchpad does not work as it should

    Hi all

    I recently bought a 2nd hand Toshiba Satellite x 200-219. Had some problems with it that I have overcome now, except one... The touchpad does not work as it should. I think that the cable has been damaged at some point.

    So I'm wondering if I should use the same ribbon cable to connect the keyboard to the motherboard or can I get one of a different model of PC Toshiba laptop?

    I tried searching on the net for advice but have resulted in nothing so thought I would try the forums.

    Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Lee

    I think you can use the items to the satellite X 205 series since this seems to be the same series as X 200:
    Found some related parts the touchpad:
    Satellite X 205 / X 200 touchpad Board with cable: reference number: K000047950
    Satellite part number for the TOUCH PAD FFC X 205 / X 200: K000047980

    But why you n t come into contact with a Toshiba authorized service provider in your country and order the part necessary and compatible?

  • Satellite L300 - 1-5 - the screen does not work

    Recently, I encountered a problem with my laptop, the screen does not work.
    I tested my inverter of the screen and my backlight lamp to see that if that was the problem, but they both worked perfectly, I then tried the entire screen with the parts and that worked too. (I tried in my friends Toshiba Satellite L300 - 217)

    Then I looked around online and got told to try to connect my laptop to an external monitor, so I did and the screen didn't work there either. So now I'm stuck, I have tried everything even made sure all connections aren't loose etc but it still does not.

    Anyone know what the problem with my laptop?

    Thank you, Tom

    Hey Buddy,

    > connect my laptop to an external monitor, so I did and the screen didn't work there either.
    This means that the internal monitor is ok and the reason must be the graphics card or card mother herself.

    I guess for now, you get only a screen empty and nothing happens on your laptop?

    In this case, you should contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. Just get in touch with the guys and ask for help. They can check the cell phone and fix it! ;)

  • WinHlp32.exe for Windows 8 the update does not apply to your system

    I try to install WinHlp32.exe to allow the old program help files can be read, but when I try to run 'Win8-KB917607 - x 64' stops

    with this message "the update does not apply to your system"

    I ran file system check on prompt without error and tried to re - run the program unsuccessfully.

    I would really appreciate the help

    Thank you

    It seems you must have U.S. English language pack installed and enabled in order for Windows8-RT-KB917607-x 64.msu run. Or there is a replacement winhlp32.exe solution directly.

    Hello

    I bought this laptop 5 weeks ago and now have problems with the right, click on the mouse does not work. Left click sometimes opens to the left, click on functions and leaves me is impossible to close programs or closed, double clicking in the pavement or enter does not work also.

    I tried to do a system restore to the factory, but I can not click on the next to take me through the restoration and end up having to close it via the main power switch.

    Any ideas please?

    Hello

    You have the same problems with a mouse external or just the touchpad?

    If an external mouse works correctly, you can use it to do a recovery install. This can help you to solve the problem, if this just s software.

    Not least have last but you tried to update the driver for the touchpad? You can find it on the official website of Toshiba:

  • Satellite A300-24z - VAP - illuminating buttons does not work properly

    Sorry for my English.

    I have laptop Satellite A300-24z, model number PSAG8E and Vista 32 bit.

    I try to install this driver and hit numbers are not having a light.
    I try to do this 3 times and still does not work.
    Can someone help me?

    VAP is not a pilot, but includes 7 different tools and utilities. One of them is to control and when the VAP is installed it works correctly.
    Your laptop comes with Vista preinstalled or you trying to install it on your own?

    I mean if the laptop was supplied with preinstalled Vista, everything should be OK. have you done all that can turn this option off?

  • Satellite C660 - Webcam and the microphone does not

    I had my laptop for less than a year. I've always been able to use Skype without any problems, but my built-in webcam and microphone are no longer works.

    I installed the latest driver for the webcam of the support, but the webcam still doesn't work and I installed the latest audio driver and my microphone still does not work too.

    Please, please, please can someone help?

    Hello

    And why not webcam and the microphone not work? How have you noticed this?
    I mean is webcam picture only in black or what is exactly happening? Also, what is with the microphone?

    The microphone is a part of webcam if it s enough if you reinstall the driver for the webcam. Latest version can be downloaded on the official website of Toshiba. If the driver is installed, make sure that the webcam is set as default input device. You can do this in the audio settings of Windows.

    The webcam doesn't appear in Device Manager, and it works if you start the webcam software rather Skype?

  • Problems with Satellite A300 - 1GC XP install - CD does not?

    Hello

    I have a few looks to round in various forums and found no answer to everything.

    I have the Satellite A300-1GC and had (from last night) vista on it. As caused Vista
    a lot of problems with different programs, I decided to get rid of him.

    The problem is now--if I stick my XP installation CD it it bed "press any key to boot from CD".
    Do that and then nothing happens. The CD read head stops going back and forward
    but nothing happens at all. Not even the beginning of the blue installation screen.

    Any ideas where this comes from?

    The CD-rom can also be run in AHCI mode (can a CD player what do I do?) and requires drivers?
    I have tried various CD XP - neither work. The last one I had was with SP3 and build in February 2009 so quite recent.

    Clues?

    See you soon

    Hello

    In your case the question has nothing to do with the SATA mode (AHCI mode or Compatible) but it looks like the CD/DVD drive cannot handle the Win XP disc
    Why? Who knows

    Always is it that the CD cannot be read and so the installation can not get.

    Try to copy this disc by using another computer and then you can try using the disc copied on order to install Win XP.

    Just FYI: I use TDK (CD and DVD) r discs... I am very satisfied
