• Satellite A300D-15B - obtaining a recovery after the removal of score media

  Hello

  I'm trying to find a way to get the recovery CD/DVD for a Satellite A300D-15B. Recently, it has contracted a number of virus and become non-functional. I did not know the recovery partition of HARD drive and stupidly deleted recovery option while re-installing windows. The new facility, however, don't show the good drivers (of course) and is even the wrong version of Windows Vista, so the product key does not (Enterprise vs Home Premium). How can I get new media of recovery? I tried the Toshiba Web site but I did have a lot of luck.

  Thanks much for any help!

Unfortuanetly right now it will not turn back and the costs/AC power indicator do not come. After some research, I found that remove the BIOS battery and power dissipation allowed me to turn on the machine. Are there any known issues that could be the cause?

  Second, once I had the laptop to turn on after you stop suddenly on Saturday, I found that the charger will not yet be you register as being plugged in unless I have use the folling procedure.
  (1) disconnect the power cable fuse from the transformer block
  (2) remove the battery
  3) plug into the DC Jack
  (4) plug the power cord for the transformer that causes the power led on the laptop to turn on.
  (5) reconnect the battery

  I must use this process whenever the unit is unplugged the sector or charger, which is irritating and also concern that there could be trouble on the horizon.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Hi John,.

  You wrote that your laptop runs with Windows 7 and the first question you mentioned could be linked to the operating system only. You can test one thing please? Restore factory using Toshiba recovery disc. The disc will restore original settings of the case which is pretested by Toshiba.

  If it s just a software related problem the recovery disc will resolve this problem.

  Unfortunately, it could be a malfunction of the motherboard also. Are you using the original Toshiba AC/DC adapter or 3rd party one?

• Upgrade memory on Satellite A300D-15B

  Hi all

  I'm going to upgrade the ram on my laptop 4 GB to 8 GB. First of all, I will post all the details of my laptop then explain the problem.

  (Original configuration)
  Satellite A300D-15B
  Model: PSAKCE
  BIOS ver: 3.30
  AMD Turion X 2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor ZM - 86 (ZM - 80 upgrade)
  Genuine Windows® Vista® Home Premium 32-bit
  4096 MB (2048 + 2048) PC2-6400 DDR RAM (800 MHZ)

  Then to the right, I installed Windows 7 32 bit top centuries ago and implemented at the processor level and have never had problems as I work with computers.

  I did some checking and found out that my motherboard supports up to 8 GB of ram and decided to purchase two 4 GB RAM modules. I made sure that I had good ram to my laptop.

  I upgraded the ram and it recognized without any problems and has even stated that 8 GB of ram was installed under 'System' in contol panel and in the bios. As it was a 32 bit OS it has only 3 GB of ram. So I decided to upgrade my OS to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and that's when the fun begins.

  Basically, my laptop does not start if I have more than 4 GB of RAM installed (in all configurations) and get a BSOD. I had a few different Stop error codes, but I can't seem to find a solution. Also, there is no all/many options to change in bios, so Im puzzled.

  I tested the modules of ram with Memtest several times without error and tried in different laptops without problem. I know that my computer laptop suppors the 8 GB that I had no problem running the 32 bit OS.

  All my drivers and other software are up-to-date and work very well and have installed all the updates of windows to date.
  If anyone else has had this problem and is at - it a patch/fix available?

  Any help, ideas or suggestions are welcome and I hope I can fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You are right. Your motherboard can be upgraded with RAM and max RAM for your laptop model is of 8 GB.
  This info you can find in the specifications of the laptop.

  Problem is that, for the upgrade, you must use 100% compatible modules. I'm pretty sure there must be a compatibility problem.
  Can you please tell us what modules you use (brand and specification).
  For example: module 4GB compatible for this model of laptop has part number PA3670U-1M4G.

• Satellite A300D-15B Brightness control (F6 & F7) don't work for startup

  I have a Satellite A300D-15B. I can only adjust the brightness - using the F6 and F7 keys - during the first seconds of startup upward. When I hit Fn - F6 (or F7) after that, I get the popup function, but the cursor does not move.

  It seems that the only time where I can change the brightness is during startup, which is frustrating.

  I've seen other threads that relate to this same problem in Ubuntu or XP, but I'm running Vista (6.0.6001 - SP1). I recently flashed the BIOS with the latest updates (now at the V2.90), no effect.

  Anyone have any idea?

  TIA

  Hello!

  In your case, I would try the Toshiba value added Package update. This package contains the Flash cards that offer the Hotkey function.

  On the Toshiba driver download site, you can search for this update:

• Satellite A300D-15B - upgrading Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit?

  I added an extra 4 GB of memory to my Satellite A300D-15B (PSAKCE). When I try to run the 64-bit Windows 7 update, it will fail with a blue screen.

  Is it possible to update this model for 64-bit Windows 7?

  I could not find the driver for Win 7 64 bit on the page of the Toshiba driver, but Vista 64-bit drivers should be consistent, at least most of them.

  > When I try to run the 64-bit windows update 7 it will fail with a blue screen

  To be honest, I never did upgrade of Windows that I always prefer a clean install.

• Need drivers for Win XP 64 - bit - Satellite A300D-15B

  Hello

  I recently bought a ' Satellite A300D-15B "it came with Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

  I want to install XP 64-bit. The driver page have drivers for XP, but it does not specify this time are these drivers for XP 32 - bit or 64-Bit XP.

  Can come a confirm which edition is for drivers are?

  Thanking you,

  Ganesh

  Hello

  There's no drivers 64-bit of Windows XP and I think it won't be available on the Toshiba driver page. Why?
  There are a few reasons for this.

  First of all the Vista is the disciple of Win XP and only Vista 64-bit drivers are designed for new laptops and computer equipment.

  Second, really unique operating system Win XP 64-bit. It was not so popular like Win XP 32 bit and most of the applications and software are not compatible with the XP 64 bit OS.

  I put t know many people who would like to use the 64-bit XP and maybe this is the main reason why 64-bit XP drivers are rare.

  I think that if you want to use this OS on this laptop, then you have to collect drivers 64-bit XP to your own hand.

  Good luck

• Satellite A300D-15B PSAKCE - USB message appears if BT is enabled

  Sorry if I am one of those annoying people who has posted something that's already been posted.

  A few weeks ago, my laptop series a Satellite A300D-15B (PSAKCE 00K0DEN) held to come up with a msg - "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" - when nothing is plugged into one of the USB ports (all that I then plugged in any of these works very well).

  Today, I was keen to use the bluetooth with my phone. The icon is red and blue instead of the combination of white and blue usually there when you are ready to send files. By opening the menu "Add new connection", a message pops up saying "Bluetooth is not ready." In the menu options, running a diagnosis reveals this msg: "check communication with Bluetooth device: fail.

  I turned off the Bluetooth and noticed that I stopped the message USB too - and on the activation of Bluetooth, the message would keep popping up, indicating that there is a link between them.

  I'm a noob to complete technology and I have no idea how to solve this problem, or even to grasp what the problem is to start with most websites that seem useful seem also full of jargon that I don't understand!

  I really hope someone can help as my minimum information and thanks in advance.

• Satellite A300D-15B - need for Windows 64 - bit XP SATA driver

  Hello

  Someone has drivers SATA for Win XP 64-bit for Satellite A300D-15B?

  Kind regards
  Ganesh

  Hello

  As far as I know this laptop Satellite A300D-15B was equipped with AMD chipset and therefore the SATA driver should be part of the ATI graphic driver.

  But you can also install the Win XP without the SATA drivers.
  In the BIOS, you will need to set the mode SATA from AHCI to compatible.

  Then you should be able to install Win XP on this laptop.

• Satellite A660 - 11 m - video DVD playback is quite grainy

  Not so long ago, I bought this Satellite A660 - 11 m and I am extreemly happy with it. Graphics capabilities are perfect for my games.
  One thing however, I noticed that the video playback is very grainy, especially with the DVD. I tried to use the best software like Cyberlink Power DVD DVD playback.
  Is it possible that I can improve the clarity of the video and remove the adhering and afterimage?

  Any help would be greatly apreciated.

  Thank you

  You tested it with the original or some cottages created DVD?
  Maybe you checked the first Blu - ray movies and later when you use DVD quality is not very good. ;)

• Volume of the Satellite A300D going low-high-low-high

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300D and I was listening to music through the built-in speakers and the volume seemed to go low-high-low-high (as a pulse)

  It is not that noticeable, but now I know about it.
  I'm quite get irritated with it. (I'm playing music via iTunes)

  In addition, this also happens when I use headphones, and when I play through external speakers.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  In addition,

  The button of the Player multimedia music button on the laptop itself opens Windows Media Player.

  Does anyone know how to change it to iTunes?

  Thank you!

  > I get quite irritated with it. (I'm playing music via iTunes)

  Have you noticed what playing music with MS Media Player, Win Amp or other applications?
  Do you have this notice without installation of software 3rd party such as iTunes for example?

  To be honest I have never heard of this issue, and I think that this could be linked to the gift of pre-installed software 3rd party laptop.

  > The button of the Player multimedia music button on the laptop itself opens Windows Media Player.
  > Is anyone knows how to change it to iTunes?

  As far as I know that's not possible. I use my mind Winamp buttons because I could activate this software WinAmp but it s doesn't know only not for me, it would be iTunes software supports the extension of the networks too.

• Facerecognition update for Satellite A300D-15B

  Hello

  Received today "Tempro Software Update' for Toshiba Facerecognition for my laptop A300D-15B.
  Link to download shows that "this link has been removed or had its name changed.

  Had a Toshiba alert by e-mail on 12/12/08 and downloaded this update, but decided to wait until Tempro advised me before installation.
  He tried to install, only to discover that he has not to date... REMOVED all Facerecognition and the Smartwatcher of my laptop!

  Completing the restoration of the system and have it all back, but what's going on please?...
  Y at - it updated or not?... should I install it or not?... Did I miss something here when you try to install it?

  Help, please... Confused

  Oldyorkie

  The Tempro software send a notification that the new (facial recognition) file has been downloaded in the Toshiba page.
  But that doesn t mean you HAVE to update.

  If you n t have problems with your tool and everything works great so why don't you want to be updated?

  I'm always that notice; never change a running system

• Satellite A300D-15B - SATA for XP drivers does not work

  Can someone tell me where to find the SATA XP driver for my A300D-15B? I tried the files that are part of the whole of the display:
  Txtsetup.OEM
  SiWinAcc.sys
  SilSupp.cpl
  SiiSupp.vxd
  Si3112.sys
  Si3112.mpd
  SI3112.inf

  But the hard drive was not detected during the installation of XP. I tried nlite and also using the standard XP + loading the drivers installation - neither worked.

  I now use the compatibility mode and the laptop works very well, but performance gain would be nice. If I am able to find the right driver, it is possible to change to SATA without completely reinstalling XP?

  Hello!

  Normally, it should be the Si3112.sys file.
  However, you are right with the package display. It contains the SATA drivers.

  Normally, it should work so in your case I launch the installation of XP and load the drivers with external floppy F6.

  And before you can use the SATA drivers, you must set the mode AHCI in the BIOS is not compatible.

• Satellite A300D-15B PSAKCE - cannot install the audio driver for Win XP 64 bit

  Hi all

  This is my first post here after hidden during the last week or so, my hope is that somewhere it helps and hope so!

  I have a wonderful Toshiba A300D-15B PSAKCE with RAM 4 GB/O, but I suffer from some problems RESEARCH Holy function cannot resolve. I use this laptop as a box of development for uni/work unfortunately...

  After a complete nightmare and Vista32, Vista64, I decided to go back to windows XP32, however this custom install, continues to claim a failure of a CRC file after (and Yes, that's with SATA in IDE mode and a disc of XPSP2)

  I decided that I really DON'T want to goback to Vista, so installed Windows XP64. Now the first installation is very easy, I have the basic configuration, the chipset, graphic, network, CPU, usb, fine... except basic... and that's where I lost most of my hair... SOUND!

  First try to install the results of the pilot of his failure, claiming the mmdriver.inf cannot be found or corrupted, obviously I checked, and yes there it is, downloaded pleasure the MMDRIVER. INF and placed it system32 and the installation always fails.

  I also tried a "manual installation", in .inf files... which includes pilots XP32/64 and Vista 32/64 bit drivers, still the same
  problem, the driver continues to not install. I am going bald. Exceptional drivers who moved there

  Now, as I write this, I heard the rumor that the A305D uses the same
  audio/graphics drivers... Well well... off to try something I guess...

  If there is no help or ideas, I'd appreciate it.

  Hello

  The laptop seems to use the Conexant audio chip. So, you will need the right sound driver for Win XP 64 bit.
  Unfortunately, the European driver Toshiba page provides the drivers for Win XP but I don't know if the pilots would cover the OS 64 bit as well m.

  Anyway, what you need to know, is that you will need to first install the patches Ms.
  The fix KB835221 and KB888111MS must be installed before installing the audio driver.
  If you have tried to install the driver, then remove it from the Device Manager and update Windows XP first!

  AFAIK that SP3 already contains these patches then perhaps you should install SP3 first before starting with the installation of the audio driver.
