  Can someone help me?

  Hello

  As far as I know the laptop to stand mode when the lid is closed!
  Please check your settings in Vista power options and turn off the lid closing option.

  In addition, I would recommend updating the BIOS and the driver of graphics if a newer version is available on the European driver Toshiba page.

  First of all, the day I got the machine, he spent all of a sudden, but turned back immediately and seems to be ok. Subsequently, 3 weeks later (Saturday 2 July) I was installing some software when I got an AGV virus warning, in a few moments the machine again is turned off suddenly. 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

  The laptop then charges normally, I use it to write this post.

  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.
  see you soon

  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?

• Satellite A300D - Turn off all the time

  My wife has a Satellite A300D (model PSAK4E) and it keeps closing. The two randomy and when induced under certain conditions

  Previously, I tested the HARD drive and found bad sectors then replaced with a 64 GB SSD. I tried to install Windows 7 but it kept fault towards the end. So I reset the machine without a battery and now the power button for 2 minutes to clear the memory. Installed Windows 7 + updates.

  I was worried about stopping all the time but flashed the BIOS. Flash worked.

  Laptop resets always? I have reviewed several possible causes and wanted to get other peoples ideas
  1 HARD drive - replaced and even resets
  2. battery - ran on power sector only and even resets
  3 overheating - sometimes under certain conditions (memmory tests or you try to run certain applications) or randomly (without reason)
  4. a broken circuit somewhere on the motherboard
  5 - completely new OS + software resets the laptop when using some applications from a live disk.

  Thank you inadance for the help

  Hi me_in_oz,

  Theoretically the laptop turn off itself due to a higher internal temperature to protect the equipment against damage.
  In this case, you will need to clean the laptop using jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. It is easy and takes only a few minutes to check out this article:
  [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

  Otherwise it seems to be a serious hardware problem and your laptop should be checked for professional people. Probably it s a malfunction of the motherboard

• Satellite A300D overheats whenever I run any game

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300D 18 months but 2 months now I have problems.

  Everytime I open a game my machine is warming and that in 5 minutes turn off itself. When I look at the videos my computer heats up very well and I can't bring to Toshiba Service to fix, because six monts has now im abroad. I think that if I take options down to the bottom of my screen it will be better.

  My graphics card is 128 MB, but using my ram and its 892 MB, how can I close the ram usage view? My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A300D PSAK4E, if someone help on this, I will be very happy because I am back in my country after 5 months, and up until this time I can't give my machine in i.t. for fixing.

  Hi zero_1,

  Maybe it s is not necessary that you need a professional to an authorized service and you can fix this problem yourself.

  Sometimes a notebook should be cleaned from time to time because there is a lot of dust in the cooling fans. It can be cleaned with a spray of compressed air is very easy.

• Re: New value-added Package does not work on Satellite A300D

  Hi all

  Hoping you can help me keep my good deal Toshiba Satellite A300D I ve purchased.

  I can't turn off my mouse touchpad like the disenable isn t available option. My function/hot keys also don't work.
  Called Toshiba who advised I have download the VAP via tinyurl.com what I did. Its now sitting on my desk.

  What should I do to get her active as always impossible to disable touchpad? Reboots do not solve the problem. Do I have to find a type of 'run' action to fix, and if so, how?

  Thank you very much

  Hello!

  Normally, you can disable or enable the touchpad in the Synaptics driver.
  Go to the control panel-mouse-device-online settings setting online online
  In addition, enable/disable the touchpad, you need the utility of the touchpad. You can download this package on the Toshiba site.

  Also make an update of the Hot Key utilities.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300D (PSAHCE) - the high temperature of the processor

  Hi guys.

  I have a problem that happens with my Toshiba Satellite A300D.

  I downloaded Speedfan to check the temperature of my CPU, HD, and GC and noticed that my CPU temperature is always around 80 ° c and when I have, for example, media player and Open firefox, it bypasses 90 º C. Is this normal? A lot of times if I opened a second schedule it arrives at 102º C and the CPU count starts to break down to lower the temperature. My computer also crashed several times because the CPU temperature reached 108 degrees.

  Now, what can I do? I can't control my speed of fan and the fan works only when the CPU is used: (.)
  Is it possible to put the fan runs constantly? Overclocking the processor would help with this issue? I have only a fan in my computer?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  Bad OS/software/driver may cause Cpu and Gpu fiercely because of an overload. In this case must be reinstalled or removed. In addition, cooling modules may be clogged and not provided sufficient ventilation, you must clean with a jet of compressed air to blow off the dust. The thermal paste should be replaced...

  Hello

  My Toshiba Satellite A300D 14 p restarts all the time and I can't do anything!
  I turned it off last night and today, when I pressed the power button it worked for 1-2 seconds and then again did a restart.

  My screen doesn't show anything (because it only works for 1-2 seconds).

  Any ideas?

  And last night, everything was OK?
  Have you installed anything it either on it or maybe update the BIOS?

  Unplug the AC adapter / CC, remove the battery and leave it for a while. Later, connect the power adapter only and try to turn on your laptop.

• Satellite A300D-205 - tools for the multimedia keys

  Hi guys.

  I installed windows XP for my Toshiba Satellite A300D-205 and all devices to work perfect except the media touch buttons. It works with Vista, but it does not work with XP.

  Can you give me some ideas (or tools) how to operate?

  Thank you.

• Satellite A300D - problem with installing Win7

  Hello
  A few days ago, my HARD drive was broken down. I bought a new one and tried to install Win7 Ultimate x 64 (7600) on it. But I had a hard time:
  -L'installation interrupts on the stage of "Complete installation" and the laptop turns off when the second restart proceed, before the stage when it is necessary to fill in some fields, for example the name of the computer, etc.
  So a question arises: what happened and what is required for a successful installation?

  Satellite A300D is the old model of laptop, and you can order is original Vista recovery DVD only.
  I installed Win7 32 bit on A300/A300D successfully and think that 64-bit installation should not make trouble.

• 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-16N: sound like metal with a lot of cracks

  Hallo!

  I've updated lately from Vista 32 bit to Win 7 32 bit on my Satellite A300D-16n.
  Now, I have a few sound issues - looks like metal with a lot of cracks.

  I've updated my Bios and wifi, graphics and sound driveres are also known as latest as says win7

  It seems that there is some kind of conflict beetwen pilots or problem with sound oversteer
  I don't know how to solve this problem.

  Can you help?

  Hello

  I got this Toshiba doc on the sound distortion.
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9702NO0000R01.htm

  But this is related to the Win XP you are using Win 7

  However, can be a good tip.

  Otherwise I recommend you to disable the internal microphone, I had a sort of background noise on my laptop.
  I could turn off the microphone in the control panel-> sound

  By the way; have you noticed that using headphones?

• Re: Satellite A300D - S-Video does not work

  Hello

  I got my Satellite A300D for a little while now and he likes most aspects of it. The only thing that I'm not a big fan of, is that my S-Video works at all.

  I tried FN + F5, and when I do that it doesn't do anything. When I return to FN + F5 to check if it happened, it's back to the LCD screen. I tried all the functions FN + F5, and I also tried "to connect to the external monitor" through the control panel option. I also tried restarting the laptop, turn it off, start it back up, install a driver catalyst mod, everything I could think of, but it's not going to work.

  Any help would be * EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY appreciated! *

  Please help, thanks!

  Hi guys

  The use of the s-video ports is very easy.
  First of all that the TV and the laptop must be turned off.
  Then you have to connect both devices with an s-video cable compatible.

  Note: The BIOS, please check if the right settings were selected. PAL for Europe; NTSC for North America.

  Also, make sure that you use the s-video cable to the right. With the help of cable is not compatible with the allocation of the wrong pins will create a black and white picture on TV!

• A few questions about the feature Satellite A300D - 14 p

  I have the model Satellite A300D - 14 p a month. 2-year warranty. I have a few questions and ask for help and suggestions I have to do?

  * My quality of the camera * is VERY poor, with a lot of light on, I can get image quality generally ok. Inside, next to turned on the two options, night mode, or backlight compensation, I can hardly see my face, very dark and very bad quality. Second problem, it is a blue led light, it is annoying because half of the picture is always blue, somehow made light photo half which is always blue:(((j'ai utilisé modèle portable L300 série (moins cher que le mien) with the same device and that blue light, it works perfectly :()

  * Autonomy and start up Vista OS *? In little 1.5 hour energy saving mode? Surf train and nothing else... I asked Toshiba support here in Serbia in this respect and they told me that it is normal and measure the battery life (2,... h) by specifications, this is when my screen is off and computer do nothing? They also said that starting normal time for Vista OS is maybe more around 1.45 min?

  If I install win XP is it possible to get longer battery life?

  I have to go in service Toshiba or what?

  Thank you very much and sorry if I'm boring :)))

  Nikola

  Hay Nikola

  You are not boring at all and welcome to this forum.

  I don't know where to start. ;).

  I have Satellite A300-1LI in front of me and I use it about a month now. Startup time is very interesting theme and with a good configuration, you can optimize and make much shorter as with factory setting. Please read a very interesting thread about it under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
  Do the same with your Satellite and I hope that you will be satisfied.

  Battery operating time? I have to say that information about two hours are realistic and I can confirm that. The same thing on my Satellite. But to be honest for mobile computing, it's OK. I've changed several notebooks and just business laptop Tecra had to linger battery operation. What you can do is check the Toshiba support site and look for info on the more powerful battery. I don't know, but you can use the battery (Li-ion, 9 cell, 6000mAh).

  On cam, I can't say much. It works on my Satellite on OK and I am satisfied. OK quality is not the same as for integrated cam but good external webcams it's OK.
  If you are not satisfied with trying to speak with the nearest service or try to compare it with some other Satellite by your local dealer.

  If Nikola, if you have more questions please post again.
