• Satellite L300 - very slow start and freezes

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite L300, who treated me well - but more 2 months ago really slow and freezes quite often. I have anti virus, spybot etc and come up with nothing.

  Last night I tried to reformat the system by pressing 0 did not work so tried with F8 which I would like to make a longer scan but no reformatting. I am now very happy that I failed to do the reformat because I bought windows 7 after the initial purchase of the laptop.

  Any ideas anyone - or any person with same/simular problems?

  Hey,.

  This means that you have installed right now and not preinstalled version of Windows Windows 7?

  Well, in this case HARD drive recovery option is no longer available. You can do it on preinstalled only Windows.

  To format your laptop, you need Toshiba recovery disc.
  Did you create it?

• Satellite L300 - fails to start and freezes

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba L300 Salelite, comes up with the screen saying: Windows could not start because of a recent hardware or software change might be the cause, the options are to run the Startup Repair (which freezes when selected, screen goes fuzzy), or to start windows normally, which also causes screen freeze and go blurry.

  I tried to connect to an external monitor, but same thing happens.

  Op system is XP, laptop computer is about 15 months.

  Hey,.

  If startup repair freezes too I think that Windows Setup is confusing upward and you need to reinstall the system

  You have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If so, you can start to recover to factory settings. The disk will wipe the entire HARD drive and reinstalling Windows all drivers with the tools of the recovery image on the disc. Just follow the instructions on the screen, most is done automatically, should click on next sometimes all that s! :)

• Need help with the recovery of the System Satellite L300-149

  Hello

  We have a Satellite L300-149.
  Was running really slowly then wanted to reset it to factory settings.

  Doesn't the "press F12 during startup, insert the disk in" etc etc BUT have a horrible feeling that I put a disc to which belonged in fact to a different Toshiba, we used to use a U300.
  'Give' was that the manual for the U300 is now on the desktop on the Satellite :-/

  I hope that this would not be a major problem BUT the F8 key is gone now it's impossible to connect to the internet.

  I looked online and read that the L300 sometimes doesn't come with a disc that the info is kept on a separate part of the disk hard hope so I could reset it back to settings to factory again but when I click on F2 on start up and go to the option to restore it, noting happens.

  Can someone please help?

  Hello

  Forget HARD drive recovery now
  You have recovered the system using another disc and it has been removed and the HARD recovery disk image files. If this option is NOT possible!

  You reason that the L300 and all other laptop does not come with recovery discs.
  The recovery disk must be created using the recovery disk Creator called preinstalled software. But it is also NOT possible because you deleted the preinstalled system and the files that are needed for this recovery disk are no longer available!

  But if everything is working properly except the WLan FN + F8 key, then I recommend you only install the Wlan driver. I think that the key does not work because the right WLan driver is not installed.

  I think that the Satellite L300-149 supports the smart WiFi Realtek RTL8187B.
  Then install the right driver Wlan you can find here:

• Satellite L300: How to record the sound from a video without sound

  OK, yes the title of the topic is not entirely clear. Here's my situation: I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 with Vista; Realtek HD Audio Manager is installed. I would like to record the sound of a video file using Goldwave (a sound editing program); but I don't want to have to listen to the sound, while it's recording.

  On Windows XP, you used to be able to record the sound of the stereo mix, but put the speakers on mute and it would record again. Now I find that I have to turn my speakers in order to record anything on my computer. (Yes, I fiddled with all mute buttons, insured that all reading and recording devices are working and front volumes. My current solution is to plug my headphones on my laptop and to reactivate the sound from the speakers to register... and not put the headphones in my ears)

  I have now spent in the last 4 hours looking for a solution, and I must say it's especially ridiculous. I used Vista before and I've heard rumors of how many people hate, but honestly, how is it that now the audio capabilities seem to be reduced?

  Does anyone have a solution of how to record sound with the speakers on mute?

  Hello

  I also recorded the audio of a video file using another software called 32. and Win XP
  I also used the stereo mix, but to be honest I have never muted the speakers while recording.
  To be honest I n don't know if it's possible, but if you want to test, you can try the Realtek HD audio Manager in the access panel and set the speakers to cut on the first tab called speaker.
  But as I said, I've never tested and that's why I m not very good if it will work.

• Satellite L300 freezes with Windows Vista

  I use the Satellite L300 laptop with Windows Vista.
  Once the connection is freezing, so I used to do Toshiba HDD recovery and formatted and installed with its recovery tools.

  Now its connect with normal mode.
  The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
  Again, I have to forcely, I need to start with safe mode and normal mode then again once I get the same problem.

  Can someone tell me the solution?

  > The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
  Maybe some of your applications cause this problem

  I think you should check what software could cause what I mean it of not impossible that a 3rd party applications that runs in the background would be the cause of your troubles

  Of course, it could also be related to a hardware malfunction. It looks a bit like a RAM problem, but just a personal suggestion.

  > the only way I could get it at startup has been F 8 then mode.then course it would freeze after a few minutes did fix my computer and Toshiba HDD recovery

  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 L300 - after installing XP it does not find the WiFi router

  After insatlling XP SP1 and insatlling a lot of everything except drivers WLAN works. I installed the drivers and I install Atheros to manage my connections, but it seems not yet to find the wifi router.

  I use toshiba satellite l300 pslbce.
  PS! I had the laptop that works on Ubuntu berfore, worked well.

  Hello

  Have you updated XP SP2 or SP3? I m wondering that you only use the SP1 and you need to update. SP2 or later is required for some pilot applications and software.

  And where did you downloaded the Atheros driver? You must use the driver from the Web from Toshiba site. The portal of WLAN, you can find the latest drivers:

• Satellite L300 loses the IP address using the WiFi network

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite L300 and installed Windows XP. While I installed all the devices available for download drivers my wireless connection is still not working properly - the IP address shows as lost after several minutes of functioning and on several occasions the laptop froze and had to manually turn off (if the wireless connection is turned off to this isn't the case)

  You have ideas or suggestions on why this is happening?

  Thanks in advance for your support!

  Hello

  Check if the most recent BIOS is available for this model of laptop and if yes, then try to update.
  As next update Win XP to the last State. All MS patches, updates must be installed.

  I m not very well what WLan card you but you are trying to install the WiFi adapter driver on the WLan card manufacturer site.

  Finally, and especially if you lose the WLan IP address and then start the CMD (in the window RUN) and type this command:
  ipconfig / renew

• Satellite L300-1F8 freezes with Win 7 but ok under Win XP

  Hello

  made me this Satellite L300-1F8 as hand down from my sister, and first glance seems he was in working condition.
  There is no OS on it and I decided to install it with windows 7.
  It starts up fine on the disc, but after some time on the installation process, it freeze or reboot.

  The next thing I did was have it running on an Ubuntu live CD... it did boot from the live cd, but after a while it froze again. I've done a memory test and all modules are very well.
  I check the hard drive, and again, it was ok. So I tried to install Windows xp on it and to my surprise it is installed without any problem.

  Does this mean that I can just install XP on this model?

  Also, I noticed that whenever the battery (the orange on the front of the unit) light is turned on, the computer restart or hang...
  This means that this device has a power problem?

  and oh, as I currently running on Windows XP, I have updated the Bios of 1.50 to 2.20 and even once tried to install Win 7, but had the same problem again.

  I returned to Win XP and installed without a hitch.
  Here is the complete model in my unit: Satellite L300 - 1F8 PSLBGE00T004AR...

  any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you...

  Hello

  > Does that mean I can only install XP on this model?

  No, you can install any system. The hardware specifications of the Satellite L300-1F8 seems ok: processor Intel Pentium dual-core T3400, 4 GB RAM, 250GB HDD and Mobile Intel GMA 4500 M graphics card is good enough to Win 7

  I m wondering why the laptop froze running Windows 7 or Linux

  > Also, I noticed that whenever the battery (the orange on the front of the unit) light is turned on, the computer restart or hang... This means that this device has a power problem?

  Do you mean the battery indicator? The battery indicator is the 3rd left.
  The battery indicator indicates the State of charge. Green: charging completely charged and orange way.

  There are also other indicators:
  The first left is indicator DC IN which turns green when the AC adapter DC voltage. If the output of the adapter is abnormal this indicator shows no light.

  The second on the left is the led lights green when the laptop is running. If you turn off the computer in standby mode, it starts flashing orange. If the computer turns the indicator shows no light.
