• Satellite L300: Should what Service I go for the Vbios update

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba L300 with GM965 and the Vbios is very old: version 1436.

  As we knew that Intel has committed that this version and the other older versions of v1668 can cause the computer crashed with BSOD Vista.

  However, I waited for a long period of Toshiba for an update of the Vbios, but it seems too hard (8 months). I asked the local service for help, but they can't do something. I wonder where can I ask for help on this problem.

  There is already good evidence on this issue from a different manufacture.

  Looking forward to a great response.

  Best wishes to all.

  Kind regards.

  I'm not sure if something like this is possible.
  You can try to update the graphic driver Intel using the driver directly from the page of Intel but VBios update is not known to me.

  However, if it is possible then an ASP in your country should be able to provide more details!

• Satellite L300 - several bad sectors on HARD drive

  Hello

  I'm very angry with my Satellite L300 - 14G. One morning, my computer refuses to boot Vista, each attempt ended with a crash and go back to the choice of startup (with 'repair my computer', 'safe mode' and 'start windows normally').

  I could save my data with a utility disk and try to "HDD Regenerator V1.71", which located a number of bad sectors on the HARD disk. I decided to put my computer as on the first day with the built-in utility.
  Two weeks ago, the same problem.

  I bought another hard drive and replaced it. Reinstalled Vista and my data... 1 month later... still the same problem (currently HDD Regenerator is scanning and find bad sectors 185!)
  I don't think that would be caused by a virus. I use Nod32 and I don't do anything illegal with my machine.

  Some mistakes seem to be generated every day... until the crash of the OS...
  Anyone have ever seen such a problem?
  (I bought in September 2008... no guarantee more for my machine)

  Let's take a look at your problem:

  -hdd went wrong and you are using a third party program to fix
  + Why don't check you with "chkdsk" and read the smart values of the disc? +
  -you bought another hard drive and after a short period of time the same failure occurs
  + was the new hard drive, a big and cheap or a little and a little expensive? +

  We will analyze what happened to your hard disks:
  -recovery written datas sectorwise back in training > bad sector crashed > and an error occurs
  -second hdd also went wrong > if this isn't a sustainable (expensive) hdd, it went bad because of operation > do you often take your laptop with you?

  This brings me to:
  -check the smart get more information
  -chech crc when reading from another source on the hard drive to verify if the hard drive or the controller or your memory gone bad
  -get a 'good' hdd or spend it on tests
  -make a recovery and everything right after a chkdsk to make sure that the file structure is ok before working with

  I never heard of a disk controller brocken on the motherboard of this distributor - but what I know...

• Satellite L300 - system crashes often

  Hello!

  Recently purchased Toshiba Satellite L300-01:00 (PSLBGE), now face the system blocks the problem.

  Laptop came without an operating system. The first thing I installed Windows XP, update BIOS version of the v1.3 to v1.6 then have to reinstall XP. After that, I installed the latest drivers from Intel and Toshiba support pages for this model, and automatic updates from Microsoft, including Service Pack 3.
  (Video chipset and Intel matrix storage drivers come from the support of Intel.) Others are from Toshiba).

  Everything seems to work without any unknown device or recognized error, but very often the programmes get stuck or any gel system. Especially when you try to read something great to drive, or how to consume more demanding the task.

  I'd appreciate any experience or suggestion.

  (With apologies for the bad English hope, that we can understand!)

  If Memtest86 goes down, I think that the RAM is faulty. You can try a different RAM in this notebook?
  Normally if Memtest86 breaks down, and the computer restarts, the module is defective and must be replaced.

  The Drive Fitness Test works on all the HARD s drive. This is not manufacturing.

  Try Linux and give us feedback. If Linux works, there is a software problem and if not you should swap the RAM.

• [SOLVED] Satellite L300 wireless dead, suddenly stop, then won't power ON

  Well, actually, that this post is NOT a question that I already found the solution, but it took me much time searching through forums (and in fact I had not found response), so I decided to post it here to help someone in the same situation later.

  Ok.. I'm all new Satellite L300 laptop a week ago, which runs under WinXP SP2. First five days, everything was OK, but then I confronted the following symptoms:

  -Material Wi - fi could disappear suddenly. After the restart, winXP found the map of wireless as a new device, but could not accept pilots (who has worked on OK again a few hours before).
  -Notebook could stop 'tough' at any time and it is not in the CPU load. After that I could not turn on again than by pressing the power button only turned on CPU cooler. I had to wait for at least 30 min power turn on the laptop again.

  So, I started to search the forums, and as a result, I was sure the reason was overheating of the CPU to 115.337%. It was strange for me that I could not find similar reports for satellite L300 on the web and even all dust cpu overheating reports for other models Toshiba II found - they all have been written on popular laptops, but I got mine just a week ago.

  Since I didn't bring my laptop to the local service center and leave it there for a long time - I decided to locate the problem myself as much as I can and I finally found the reason:

  * He was one of the two Samsung modules of 1 GB of RAM installed in notebook.*

  As I removed a suspect (2nd) - all symptoms have disappeared. As I removed another installed back suspicious as 1st - I even haven't been able to turn on the laptop. So, I deleted completely suspicious module and now I had no problem with laptop computers running more than 2 days (except the performance decreased due to the loss of memory of 50%).

  Hope this is helpful to someone who has a similar problem whose symptoms may resemble the overheating of the CPU.

  Really great job and a very nice display!

  I have a Satellite L300 too but never had any problems with it. I'll put this in my favorites because it s very useful for people who have this problem.

• Face recognition not starting not not by Satellite L300

  Just bought a Satellite L300-13r for my daughter. One of the selling points was the guarantee of face recognition. Only problem is that he isn't starting from the start. Found the software on the computer laptop-even if it has not been shown on the desktop - I had to use the search option. I signed up his face and think that I entered the settings properly, but that's all just not running at startup.

  Whenever I have run the software of Recon face manually, vista wonder confirmation that it's alright to run it. (This would have something to do with the failure to launch?).

  I am also concerned by the gfx chip. It was announced as x 3100 but I seem to have an Intel 965 chipset. Is it the same?

• Satellite L300 is dead - the battery light blinks orange 6 times

  Does anyone know what was the cause of this yellow flashing light?
  I have the same problem with a Satellite L300.

  Battery light flashes orange 6 times when I press the power button and nothing else happens. Dead laptop.
  I just picked up a service guarantee yesterday where they replaced memory card and the mother.
  He worked for 45 minutes then screen erased and won't turn on again.

  Anyone know about this problem?

  Hello

  The blink code provides some kind of clerical error, and this error is not always the same.

  Individual booklets are equiupped with different motherboards and provide different codes.

  It looks like a hardware problem and therefore, you should contact the ASP again.

  The warranty is still valid and you should take it!

  Don t waste time own investigation but get in touch with the guys again and explain your situation and that this error has occurred again.

• Satellite L300 has no sound and the modem also does not work

  I have this Toshiba Satellite L300 (PSLB8A - 1F004) an Australian model who was working perfectly until I changed the hard drive after he developed bad sectors.
  I installed Win Vista Business.

  I have all drivers (TOSAPINS file) provided with the original hard drive, but when I installed the drivers in the correct order. IE chipset, modules, audio, modem, and all the other pilots.

  There is still a little red x on the taskbar saying: "no audio output device is installed" and I also noticed that the modem is not listed in Device Manager. I also tried to replace a work from a cell phone same model modem card, but it still shows no signs of picking up the modem as well as his driver.

  I made the attempt to download the drivers from mytoshiba.com.au under the exact model and the OS and installed but nothing helps, the problem is still there.

  No sign of modem picked up and the little red x on the taskbar always shows "no audio output device is installed" and on Device Manager, is not to show the audio or modem. There is also nothing in the typical yellow marks and also I tried to show hidden devices but there is still no sign.

  Is there something else I missed that I can try again?

  WewakMaster

  I agree, with Akuma. First remove the audio controller from Device Manager (can be found under audio and game controllers).

  Then update the Vista of the State. All patches and Service Packs must be installed.
  Then, restart the device and install the driver Audio from Realtek ALC268 from here:

• Satellite L300 - PXE - E61 media test failure

  Today, while browsing the Internet, my laptop decided to randomly cut to a screen with this error message:

  I have absolutely no idea what it means, and I use never no ethernet cable because I have a Wi - Fi connection, but he is relentless. I went through F2 and F12 and all settings are perfectly fine. Order of the BIOS is fine with the HARD disc on top.

  What should I do?

  Hey Buddy,

  If you have tested the HARD drive in a box of another and external HARD drive laptop without success the case is clear: the HARD drive needs to be replaced because it s defective!

  I can understand that you want to recover your data, but what do you do if you are not able to access? In this case you need assistance, a special data recovery lab, but it is not cheap and costs hundreds of dollars.

  I m wondering that you don't have a backup. Have you never tried to do it or thought it would be useful?

  Last but not least a new HARD drive can be ordered at a service provider authorized in your country or each computer store. Satellite L300 supports SATA 2.5 hard drives.

• Win8.1 need for Satellite L300-2CR display driver

  Hello Toshiba,

  You will develop a display driver for Windows 8.1 64 bits for all Toshiba Satellite models? I have a Satellite L300 - 2CR. The paradox is that when I installed the first time Win8, the display driver for Win 7 worked, now on the second format it no longer works.

  As much as I know old machines are not supported for Win8/Win8.1.
  Each new operating system brings also new standards for hardware so new notebooks offer newer hardware and hardware platforms.

  Development costs a lot of money and time. Then do a test and support. I can't imagine that the laptop manufacturers will make for some models of laptops designed for Vista. OS support for the LDP machines is very limited.

  Maybe it sounds silly now but for me there is no sense to use Win8.1 on this old piece of hardware. Win7 32 bit is, in my opinion, best solution for you.

• Satellite L300 - upgrade from Vista Home Basic to Home Premium issues

  Hi all

  I recently got a Satellite L300 with a basic family OEM of Vista Edition version.
  I have a copy of Windows Vista: drive home edition Premium (upgrade) and decided to use it on the laptop.

  I put the disc in and followed the steps but the upgrade option is removed... It is if I use the product key provided with the disc or not.
  The laptop comes with Service Pack 1 is already installed and the drive I have is released in stores before Service Pack 1.

  My main question is really how can I get my drive to upgrade my version of Vista. I tried the Google search, this Web site, Microsoft Web site and I get the same answer.

  Basically, go into options and upgrade Express. They're all for me to buy from Microsoft that would be kinda useless as I already have a copy.
  I read something to a site that said my drive would have to have service pack disk and I've seen a site with some sort of disk editing program for Vista but I am not too keen to use it and the 'how' was not very easy to understand.

  Also, I am not too keen on appellant Toshiba or Microsoft on surcharge numbers to get something, I already bought and paid for and should be as simple as a few steps.

  Anyway hope someone can help as I really want to upgrade.

  Hello

  I understand and it is really annoying, but what to do now? the fact is that Toshiba has offered this book with some version of Vista. This version should be updated to better Microsoft security and the most recent available. Because of this Toshiba supply with the last option of SP1.

  So now, you try to install proposed update it there long and probably offered before SP1 was on the market. I understand your point of view but, in my opinion, has nothing to do with Toshiba now, and you should try to find the solution with Microsoft. For example you can also get info from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930733

  Clean Vista Home Premium can be installed without any problem. All the drivers, tools, and utilities are downloadable on Toshiba support & download page.

• What is good for Satellite L300 recovery CD?

  I recently bought "Toshiba Satellite L300" which had the Windows 7 operating system, but the recovery CD was Windows XP.
  And my hard drive was the only partition and Microsoft office was not working on this laptop and I used this CD to solve these problems.

  But I lost my previous Windows 7.

  Now, it's Windows Xp SP 3 on my computer.
  But I'm not satisfied with the XP Windows 7 fault.

  How can I get it again for free?

  Please let me know what is good for "Toshiba Satellite L300" recovery CD. ?

  > I recently bought "Toshiba Satellite L300" which had the Windows 7 operating system but the recovery CD was Windows XP.

  Hmm, that's strange, I don't have any idea of what Satellite L300 is, but generally a L300 series has been pre-installed with Vista Home Premium

  So I m wondering why Win 7 came preinstalled and why you get the Win XP Recovery disk

  Usually the L300 should be equipped with a HARD drive recovery partition containing the image of Toshiba.
  It should be able to recover the notebook using the recovery of HARD drive and this should help you to reinstall the Vista operating system.

  In my opinion that you should talk with your dealer maybe that the laptop was a replacement unit?

• Satellite L300 - upgrade to windows 7

  I have a toshiba satellite l300-1dn notebook running vista premium.
  Upgrade to windows 7, I'm worried about losing part of the toshiba programs installed on my pc.
  I wanted to do a clean install on a new drive, but do not want to lose the toshiba dvd creator and dvd ulead movie factory, which came installed as standard.

  I want to know if I lose these two programs, if I do a upgrade and clean installation
  And if I do, is there anywhere I can download these programs in safe or better yet a way to save training I use now to reinstall them later after the new installation.

  82 views and zero answers, thank you...

  To answer my own question, I lost the two programs, but found online and re-uploaded disc creator that he, ulead is gone for good.
