• Satellite L300-1AQ - how much of the necessary recovery discs?

  Dear all

  I would like to know how many drives recovery requires my laptop L300-1AQ (model number PSLB8E).

  I have a disc I made when I bought the computer but I can't start using up to this I make sure that only the disk is necessary (if more than one disk is needed and I begin the process of recovery, I believe that I have will make the computer unusable). I know that recent Toshibas are delivered with several DVDs so it certainly worth my checking before doing anything.

  Oh and the recovery partition is gone due to an 'aggressive' installation of linux, so this isn't an option for us (it's the new user is a windows user).

  I cannot find this information on the internet or in the manual, so I would be grateful if anyone out there has this information.

  Best wishes to all

  Hi DiodePrridge51b,

  Possibly 1 drive only Toshiba recovery disc creator, you need only 1 recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

  It s, always according to the model laptop and OS how many records you need, but if only 1 disc was required there s enough and begin the installation of recovery. :)

• 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?

  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 L300-1AQ - how to remove the BIOS password?

  I have a L300 who has now obtained a password from the BIOS at startup of the system he has ever had before. How can this be deleted / reset?

• Can satellite L300-1AQ - I use the L300D recovery disk?

  My son has a Satellite L300-1AQ equipped of vista. All of a sudden will load is more the laptop and automatic repair options fails too. There is a blue screen that appears, but only for a second when I try the repair option - then the laptop stops. We have no recovery disks.

  Also, I have a laptop Satellite L300D-13 s that works well and suppose I could get a drive recovery- but prob diff drivers etc.

  Can someone advise me how best to my sons laptop (Im not concerned about retrieving data as all saved already), but do not want to return to the factory settings including Vista. Do not know if using a laptop recovery disk is an option - instinctively is not as ever as simple as that.

  All advice welcome please.

  Hi mate,

  I can t imagine that the Satellite L300D recovery disc will work on Satellite L300. The hardware platform is different, because a single machine is equipped with Intel CPU and the other with AMD processor, so there's a big difference.

  In addition, in the worst case, it could be a hardware problem and in this case the recovery disk does not work

  What can you do now? I think you have to options: either you install Vista from a disk of Microsoft or order you a Toshiba Recovery disk: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  After installing the Microsoft disc, you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Then you will also get back to factory settings, but it takes more time in the recovery disk because it contains an image which already all the drivers and tools are included/installed.

  I hope I could help a bit. :)

  As I see it, * Toshiba Hdd recovery * does not solve your problem. You checked with the other memory, but it always freeze. so, I guess that a hard drive can be a troublemaker. If your laptop is still under warranty, you should contact them (SAV)

• Satellite Pro L300-1AQ only to charge the battery while the phone is in use

  I have a Toshiba SP L300-1AQ.

  In the last month we started having problems with it quit unexpectedly, even on power outlet.
  This morning I used it for about a half hour. When I started the battery level was 39% full, so I plugged it into the outlet. The fire area on the front of the laptop came and taskbar in Windows icon showed it was plugged and load (battery light was orange).

  After half an hour, I checked the battery and it was down to 16%. I turned down the brightness of the screen to try to reduce energy consumption, but less than a minute at the level of the battery was down to 15%. The toolbar icon and power lights both still power showing tasks. The power adapter was cold to the touch. I expect that it is hot. It seems to me that the power adapter does not provide enough power to run the laptop and recharge the battery. If the laptop is in sleep mode, the battery may charge.

  We need a new power adapter?

  Thank you

  Nigel

  Hello

  It's really hard to say what the reason is but first of all, I think its hardware problem and not software related.
  Maybe the card mother doesn t charge battery problem more or the AC/DC adapter is defective. So can you test another adapter AC/DC to a friend for example? It would be interesting to know because if an AC/DC adapter works it seems to be a problem with the motherboard.

  I don t have Satellite Pro L300, I only Satellite L300 but it works really well and I can t notice a problem with the battery charging. It s all ok again :)

• Updated by Satellite L300-1AQ and Win7 - a few questions

  Sorry will try this again as my original thread does not appear anywhere.

  I have a Satellite L300-1AQ and only got their hands on the disks to upgrade Toshiba Windows 7 - Vista Home Premium to Win 7 HP.

  Can I really use this to perform a new installation of Win 7 64 bit?

  That made the other disk in the pair actually? Is it fair pilots or it installs cr@pware too?

  Thank you.

  This is a very useful document for you > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9902P60000R01.htm

  You will get two discs: composite discs and upgrade.
  Start your laptop and place the composite disc and follow the on-screen menu. I think that you won't have more problems to understand how it works.

  New installation? I don't know if this will work but noted that after a new installation, you will not have the activation code valid and you'll probably version only 30 days. key down will not help you for regular activation.

• Satellite L300-1AQ - 9 Will stack need more space?

  Hi someone Genius!

  Please can you convert my confusion. My current battery is a unit of 6 in Satellite L300-1AQ. It became dead and hard to sustain for 30 minutes. I decided to replace it and ordered a new 9-cell PA3535U-1BRS battery. Now I am confused like the battery 6 cells is placed inside the rear body frame, battery 9-cell enters this model of laptop even compatibility describes it's OK for my laptop? So should I believe this Declaration of compatibility of Toshiba and stop worrying how my new battery 9 cells will welcome in the space of 6 cell battery?

  Cheers in advance and thank you for your confirmtion.
  Year s

  Hello

  Yes, probably the battery 9cell need more space under or behind your laptop battery 6 cells, but it should be.

  With battery 9-cell, your laptop will get more high, in my view, it will look like on [THIS | http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/msi_wind_9-cell_battery_1.jpg] a

  But with the battery 9 cells you have longer battery life :)

• Satellite L300-1AQ - microphone picks up all sounds

  Hello

  I installed windows 7 on Satellite L300-1AQ. everything seems to be in order except for the microphone? It captures all the sounds. I use Skype, a large part of the time. Someone had pulled in a solution for this? I see it's a pretty common problem following a search on google but still it doesn't seem to be a definitive solution. I paid up the microphone up to 100 and 40 dB in its settings, but when I try to record sounds that he came back only with nothing.

  Thank you

  Hi Dermotsull,

  Have you installed most recent the the official website of Toshiba webcam driver?

  I ask this question because the microphone is part of webcam and so this driver must be installed correctly.
  In addition, I would recommend updating the audio driver. You can find it on the Web from Toshiba site too.

• Satellite L300-1AQ connection to Toshiba Regza 37 '' LCD AV series 37AV505DB

  I think buying the Satellite L300-1AQ, how will I be able to connect to my Toshiba Regza 37 '' LCD?

  The LCD has no HDMI VGA port only 2, is a Toshiba laptop equipped with an HDMI port?
  What is the most cost-effective way on the connection of all laptops Toshiba to my LCD TV?

  Thanks for your help...

  Hello

  AFAIK the L300-1AQ supports only RGB (VGA port) port.
  This port provides only the analog signal and I doubt that you will be able to connect to the HDMI port because you cannot convert an analog signal into a digital signal.

  I put t know the other ports that is supported by the Toshiba Regza LCD 37 ", but I think that in this case, the HDMI port is not useful.

  Good bye

• Starting problems on Satellite L300-1AQ - BOOTMGR is missing

  I just tried to install AVG on my laptop.

  I then tried to update, but he told me he couldn't connect to the AVG homepage, so I tried to restart my internet connection but still no luck so I thought I'd re - boot my laptop but it does not load and I get a message saying "BOOTMGR is missing Press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart" I go to the Boot Manager menu , Choose to boot from the HARD drive, but it just guard doing the same thing over and over again.

  The model is Satellite L300-1AQ ideas?

  Update

  Ive just to speak to the Technical Department of Toshiba & because I had not got round to create backup discs he's going to charge me A £30 to provide me with new ones.

  Is there a way to get around this?

  Post edited by: MrSketch

  It s your fault if you didn't create a clean recovery disk.

  On the Toshiba laptop, you will find a Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool that allows you to create the own recovery disk.
  But if you are not able to boot into the OS, so you cannot create this disc.

  Check if you can start the recovery of HARD drive option;
  You must press F8 immediately after the laptop by pressing the power button.
  Then, you should get a menu and should choose the first option called fix my computer.

  But if this menu does not appear, then you will not be able to start the HARD drive recovery and that means you must order a recovery disc to make it work again.

• Satellite L300-1AQ - defective touchpad button

  Hello

  The left button touchpad on my laptop has stopped working properly and does not correctly seated.
  The button hinge seems disintegrated. Where can I get spare parts?

  The model is a Satellite L300-1AQ and is only 27 months old and is slightly used - surely, laptop Toshiba computers are designed to last longer than that...

  Hey Buddy,

  I agree with Timox. The best place for spare parts here an authorized service provider because they can order all the parts of Toshiba and make you a good offer.

  In your case, I recommend you guys and ask for assistance and how much it would cost, etc. Here is their list:
