Satellite L300-1BV and fatal issues with WXP

Hi guys -.

Very well. My Toshiba Satellite L300-1bv, loaded with a copy of Windows XP SP3 home edition, started having glitches and slowing down questions that grew progressively until it would completely freeze after a random interval of time. Try to boot now returns a missing hal.dll error.

I'm almost certain, given the characteristics of this that the hard drive is a failure, mainly because he began to thrash continually without reason a few months in him. On the other hand, it could be a mistake of memory through Google diagnostics.

I ve managed to install a copy of Windows XP Home SP1 edition on a new partition (the one broken leaving intact), but I don't know how long it will continue to operate in light of a possible hardware failure so I don't want to commit.

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Hello

What assistance do you have exactly?

As you say the problem could be related to a hardware (RAM, HARD disk problem) or software (missing hal.dll, corruption of the operating system) problem

If new OS installation (with all patches, service pack) no did not help, then a problem of material is possible in this case, replace defective parts
No one can say what part could be corrupted it s is necessary to test means that the RAM or HARD drive needs to be replaced and then you could test how it works

PS: there is a nice tool to drive HARD HDD Fitness called diagnosis test for google's free simply

  • 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 wireless works do not with my particular brand of modem

    Hello, I really need help here.

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite L300, and I got it since April. I can't connect wireless via the modem I have here at home (netgear DGN2000).
    I can connect to other modems however. I've updated my wireless with Atheros card, but its still does not.
    If anyone has any suggestions please please please help!

    Thank you

    If you can connect to other routers on that it is proof that your laptop WLAN module works properly.
    In my opinion you cannot connect to your one because of wrong settings on your router.

    Your laptop detects your router? Your router is visible for Satellite L300?

  • Can satellite L300-1BV - I ask Toshiba for the installation CD?

    How could I go ask Toshiba for the installation CD? My laptop (L300-1BV) came with the pre-installed operating system, so I can ask them for the CD?

    Hello

    I think you mean the Toshiba recovery disc. Is this correct?

    If yes you can create yourself Toshiba recovery disc. So start the Toshiba recovery disc creator to create this diskette.
    This disc you create operating system preinstalled with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. It s also called settings factory or let's say the same thing that you started the laptop time first.

    Normally, you get a recovery reminder message and I think that this information could be useful for you:

  • Satellite L300 Windows 7 to Vista with Toshiba Recovery CD

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 Series (2008 model) cell, which was originally Vista but I installed Windows 7 Professional on this topic. I would now like to go back to Vista.

    I noticed that the "Windows.old" folder created on the c: / drive appears to be missing a lot of files and could have been modified since the date of that its creation. I think it would be too risky to use it to recover back to Vista.

    So my question is can I use my original Toshiba Recovery DVD set to return to Vista? I want to do a full factory reset to restore my system when it was purchased with Vista.

    If the recovery DVDs is not an option and was the only is by using the Windows.old folder, if it is missing important files so she could leave my corrupt system? I don't know there is a way to get back to Vista by restoring factory somehow.

    Comments and reactions to urgent!

    Thanks in advance.

    > So my question is can I use my original Toshiba Recovery DVD set to return to Vista?
    Without a doubt. Only using original recovery disks you will have factory settings again.

    Hello

    > If you move the cover, it can cut and move the cover/screen, it may or may not come back, one day it's ok and not another

    To me, this looks like a connection problem. Maybe some loose cables etc.
    The FL inverter is one part he control the LCD backlighting.
    Perhaps this part of malfunctions, but please understand that it is not easy to say what the problem might be exactly.

    I think you should communicate with MS in your country as soon as possible. The laptop is under warranty and everything should be done for free.

  • Satellite L300 - 'W' and 'F' keys not working do not - cannot open a session

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300.
    My 'F' and 'w' keys do not work and because I have a built-in HARD drive password containing these letters, I can't start my computer.

    I got a problem "starting" a few months back, and what I had to do was restore my laptop to an earlier date. I did it through management of Boot at startup. The only thing is that I don't remember how to do it now.

    I can't find the restore disks that could come with my laptop - so the only way I can do, thanks to a Startup Manager.

    So, how do you do a system restore? or y at - it another way to solve this problem?

    Help, please! :)

    Hello

    If I understand your case, the HARD disk password has been set and now you are not able to boot the laptop because the password can not be typed due to the defective keyboard.
    Right?

    Hmm, replace the keyboard buddy I think it's just the ideal solution.
    Of course, you can try to plug an external USB keyboard but I don't know if it will generally work at the BIOS level, it should work, but in the worst case you will need a new internal keyboard m.

  • Cards and rental issues with iOS 9.3.1

    So, it seems that some iPhones have been affected by the latest 9.3.1 update when using maps and location services.

    Since my update to 9.3.1 new iOS, both of my APPS of the map no longer work.

    I went to the Verizon store and they said they had 6 other customers with the same question this week come in the store, but could not help or has a solution. They said it was a problem with the new ios

    Okay, I'll be happy to take a look with you. What seems to happen?

    Well when I enter an address in MAPS or GOOGLE MAPS at random falls a PIN for my site no where close to where I really am.

    He will say that the destination is, and then all the c apps is they state "loading".

    then the cards just freeze and there is no gps in real time or the point "you are here" never moves...

    OK, so the location is never load and if so it is not updated to become precise?

    fix

    and even when I tap on the arrow to refocus or start again the directions... just it freezes or trying to load...

    and then will never give real guidance... because my original location on maps... is leagues where I'm really... or let me down in the middle of a wooded area, etc.

    Ok thank you. I know how it is important for maps working properly! I'd be keen to have fixed too.

    I completely deleted the Google maps app and reinstalled it... with no fix... same issues

    It is a problem that we've seen happen from time to time after this update. In some cases a full restore to the factory settings and then restore a backup to the phone set. Otherwise it will be a bug problem which is released with the 9.3.2 update which should hopefully will come out soon.

    also, I backed up my phone and deleted everything with a factory reset...

    always had problems even after

    even after reset and reload the iOS again... nothing works

    OK, so it seems that yours will be the one who will have to wait for the 9.3.2 update with bug fixes for the location and accuracy.

    Therefore, it does not mater if I buy another maps application? still underway to have the same problems with the gps and location?

    You can certainly try each of them have different compatibility requirements, but we found that most of these cases concern the location services on the phone itself.

    and I can't get rid of the 9.3.1 iOS version? and go back to the old version?

    If you had a backup of an earlier version, you can restore and then use the backup of the old. Just, you lose everything that you have current data.

    Hmmm... is in fact phone... like three of my friends who have an iPhone 5, iPhone 5 c and the iPhone 6 have no problem...? ! ? ! Just me...

    It is not with all phones. It has been an intermittent case so far. There is no rhyme or reason as to why some phones have had problems with the location after the update.

    Hmmm

    If no solution... and simply live with it until a new iOS comes out, and who knows how long it will be...

    I know that the update is being developed because it contains bug fixes for a few different issues. However, I'm sorry I don't have an exact date.

    Just a question - when you deleted everything for a factory restore - did restore like NEW or from a backup?

  • Upgrading processor on Satellite L300-1BV

    I've already updated the laptop of a T1600 (Celeron), to a T3200 (Pentium Dual Core). But no one knows how far I can go to level P 478 processors?

    If so, could provide you the processor numbers?

    + The message was edited: model number changed on the subject.

    Satellite L300D-1BV is know for me. This model number is correct?

    However, in general, you should check the compatibility of the chipset.
    Where the chipset is compatible and would support the CPU, you have good chances to make it work.

    But I'm not sure if BIOS would be able to manage the new processor properly.

  • Sound and other issues with Qosmio x 300-11

    Hello

    I purchased a Qosmio x 300-11s there are a little over 2 months. I have usually more than 1 audio application on at a time, for example radio game world of warcraft, but since today if I try to run more than 1 sound application or a program like world of warcraft which runs to several sound channels at once I get nothing. The sound stops completely right, I can also hear the fan hitting the basis if I up the laptop a little on the side. In games and other things, that he also got a little slow, Warcraft as much as the drop in 50-15 FPS, but which could also be a problem in game. Did I do the fix try the sound and the fps of the laptop or is it an internal problem maybe

    The game slows down could be related to the problem I have with temperatures on my 300 x 11 s. You can download a temperature monitoring tool like HWmonitor [http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php] and [http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/] Furmark to measure the temperature of the gpu, then all running stability test mode non-plein screen and post back with the gpu reported max temperature.

    Mine will reach close to 100 c while performing this test and I bought it 3 weeks ago. I hate the idea of what it will be like when a little dust deposits on the fan
