• Satellite L300D has recently started to freeze

  Hello

  First time poster so hope im in the right place!

  My L300D has recently started to freeze on me, he's about right start. If I move the screen slightly it will unlock and I can work on it, but is likely to freeze again with any movement of the laptop, so the constant movement of the screen to thaw it is a bit annoying that you can imagine!

  I used compressed air to remove dust from the fans because it had seemed as if it was overheating, but that made no difference.

  Is there something simple I am missing or is this tendency to freeze a symptom of the beginning of the end for my laptop?
  If anyone has any experience of this / tips for getting on it, it would be well appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi bluekev,

  I never heard of this issue, but maybe the problem is with the LCD cable... Such a cable wouldn t be expensive and you can get it from an authorized service provider. Also guys can redeem you.

  You move only any computer laptop or screen?
  I ask this question because it could also be a HARD drive problem, but if you move only the screen I doubt

• Satellite L300D-200 - I can do a system dual boot?

  Hello

  My toshiba satellite OS is Windows Vista Home premium.
  Does anyone know if the satellite L300D can have a dual boot of Windows Vista home premium and the Linux operating system?

  Hello

  Why it shouldn't be possible to make a system dual boot?

  You can install a Linux distro without problem. What distribution do you want to install? If you want Ubuntu I can recommend the Wubi Installer. This tool is very easy to use because it installs Ubuntu as a Windows application.
  But of course you can also use another Linux distribution ;)

  Last but not least, let me give you a tip: before installing something, make sure you already burned the Toshiba recovery disc. If a problem occurs, you can restore the factory settings every time.

  Good bye

• Satellite L300D - establish wireless network card

  I need help determining what wireless card for this laptop to 11V L300D PSLC0E-00900DEN.

  I have reflected on this web site for laptop, but there isn't. The model name is different from the one on this site. I guess this laptop came with wireless built in, because he had the sticker on it. Purchased just before Christmas for my little brother for pc world.

  I can t get out that that his card bus or the express card slot or the pc card slot.

  Any help would be grateful

  This laptop Satellite L300D has a card Realtek RTL8187B WLAN.
  The laptop is listed on the download page of the Toshiba driver and the driver Realtek too. I found exactly your model.

• Satellite L300D begins only after the battery has been drained and recharged

  I have a satellite L300D that has a problem at startup. Last week, it closed but got stuck on the "Disconnect" screen for a long time. Finally I manually turn it off by holding down the power button. Don't think no more of him it happened sometimes with my computers. However, when I went to turn it back on - it was nothing. Power lights came to the front of the computer, but not to screen at all. Could not even access the BIOS. Nothing. It was like that for several days.

  Tried all the common solutions - removed battery, disconnect the power supply and press the power button - still nothing. Tried w/o - just AC, just the battery. Even stripped down to the motherboard to see if I could remove the CMOS battery and reset the CMOS but it is soldered on the motherboard. Put all back together, still nothing.

  Finally, I had to recharge my cell phone using a USB adapter and given that the computer had power I tried the usb port and it worked (for example, I could charge the phone - still no screen on the computer). The computer's battery is dead and I plugged it in. That evening, after the battery was full, I tried the computer and it has perfectly worked. Started correctly, shut it down, restarted and it was fine. Unplugged this night there and reconnected again in the morning and... nothing. Just a black screen. No BIOS.

  Killed the battery again then reloaded and now my computer is working again.

  Any ideas on what could cause this problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  In my opinion her only the only one you can is update the BIOS like Akuma suggested. This problem is not related software so that s the only option you have I think. You can download the latest version of the BIOS here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  If this is not the case, contact an authorized service provider please. Guys can fix all this hardware related problems can diagnose this problem. Maybe the motherboard or something else must be exchanged.

  Good luck! :)

• What Linux on Toshiba Satellite L300D-10 has

  Hi all.

  I have this notebook "Toshiba Satellite L300D-10 a" and I can't install any distro linux on it. Recently I have updated the BIOS to version 1.50 and now I am able to install Debian and PCLinuxOS, but again, they do not work as they should work. No supported wireless without ACPI support, can not put comp. in hibernate or sleep etc...

  Can someone tell me if there are any linux distro with which it can work with this model without any major problems?

  Thanks in advance.

  I tried Ubuntu?

• Re: Satellite L300D and Win7 - cannot find the WLAN driver

  I have the Satellite L300D (PSLC8C-06T01R) I just got this in the month; I decide to put Windows 7 on thinking there would be all the necessary drivers. Well I was wrong; Once I installed 7 we find all drives but the wireless card. I don't then told me the Vista disks would work on Windows 7 so I tried and no luck, I then put Vista on and everything was fine, then when I went to look for the driver for the wireless card in Vista, it doesn t do anything the card is always 'does not work correctly.

  Vista Atheros wireless drivers or something else on the site Web of Toshiba don t do anything.

  If anyone has the same problem made me know, or if anyone knows how to fix this or even if it is possible to find the drivers for windows 7 that would be great cuz that s my goal (Windows 7)

  Please as soon as possible I need this laptop at the University.

  For me, it makes sense to collect all relevant information before you do something again. Obviously you didn't check before installing Win7 Toshiba support page. Until that Win7 is not released Toshiba will offer no tricks of Win7.

  As I see you have Canadian cell phone model and I don't know what WLAN card is inside, but in your a story thing confused me. You have installed Vista again. I assume you have done this with original Toshiba recovery image. This recovery image is designed for certain model of laptop and contains all the necessary drivers for all hardware components. I don't understand what the problem with the wireless network card.
  I have to ask you if you have installed Vista with the Toshiba recovery image?

• Satellite L300D not start

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L300D-13 s model no PSLC8E-02p013e with Vista.
  I have experienced trouble with this boot from standby mode and you have to press the off button to turn off 2or3 times so he can start, I decided maybe a recent update may be the cause of the problem, so did a restore of the system back 3 days, this had no effect with the same startup issues so I have a 2nd restore back by week and left the laptop , I come back to her 1 hour later and found it does not start.

  I tried out the battery and power cable but nothing helped, took in my local PC shop - he belives the motherboard has gone down, but I think that he does ' t really know and wants to sell me a new one - no surprise! anyone with some advice is welcome.

  Thank you very much, Gary

  Hey Buddy,

  > He belives the motherboard has declined
  I agree with the repair shop. If the computer doesn t start even you took the battery that it seems to be a hardware malfunction (motherboard) and you can't expect exchanging the jury.

  But probably it would be better to buy a new laptop because the motherboard is a very expensive part. If you buy a new laptop, you also have a new completely new computer with warranty again. ;)

• Satellite L300D - 13 X: Vista crashes everytime during the installation of updates

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite L300D Vista HB.

  It started with the machine crashing, thought it would be OK after reinstalling operating system.
  But it hangs whenever he has installed updates.

  Anyone experienced the same problem?

  I know, I can just ignore the updates, or choose another OS, but what I would like to know if there is a general failure with this machine and updates.
  It must be some recent updates to this year, since the problem first started a few weeks ago.

  Hello

  I never had problems with the Vista updates.
  Sometimes I need to update the driver WLan driver sound to the latest version after Vista has received some updates, but the operating system has never crashed.
  But I switched to Windows 7 and now I m using the latest Win 7 OS which is much better than Vista.

  I don't know why the updates affect the mobile-specific features; m may be due to old drivers.
  Maybe you should install Vista and should update the OS before installing drivers or software

  Good luck

  I have problems to get the network adapter to work, it is a Realtek rtl8101 Family PCI - E Fast Ethernet NIC(NDIS 6.0). Of course the BONE there when I installed everything first were some pilots so I had the yellow! next to it in Device Manager.

  As far as I know on the second partition of HARD drive folder HDDRecovery is saved recovery image. When you start the installation of (F8 at startup) HARD disk recovery partition recovery image D will be installed on the C partition. In this case the D partition is not deleted. C just partition will be formatted before installation of recovery image begins.
  Just use F8 option and go fix my computer. Just follow the on-screen menu and choose the software factory default recovery option.
  > 2 If the disc is defective, how do I re - install supplied OS (vista) for a new HARD drive?
  After reading this question, I see you didn't read the document s user manuals. You need to create a recovery media (DVD recovery) and this recovery DVD you can use for recovery image installation if there is a problem with the HARD drive or you want to install original recovery image on the new HARD drive.
  3 > unrelated meanings, can I upgrade to Windows 7 (clean install) 32 or 64 bit version?
  Of course you can do it. Please visit the download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and check if all the drivers, tools and utilities are available here. Of course before doing this, create recovery DVDs.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Satellite L300D - how to restore factory default and USB key?

  Hello

  I need urgent help. I got an error on my laptop and I lost my recovery disc, so I borrowed a friends disk by mistake. I deleted the partion that everything has been installed on.
  Can someone please help urgently? I have all my files on a USB key and really need to give a presentation on my laptop by Thursday September 23. Can someone please? I read about a secret partion on laptops to default factory default

  concerning Ross

  Hi elrossco22,

  What Satellite L300D, you have exactly and are - this a European model?
  If yes try to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and choose fix my computer. Then, you can start the recovery of HARD drive feature.

  If this isn't the case, you need a new Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. You can order such a drive here but it s for European models only:

• Satellite L300D - necessary recovery image

  Hello

  I'm trying to restore my laptop to factory settings. It's a Toshiba Satellite L300D and recently it has been infected by the virus of security 2011 windows vista.
  It still works in SafeMode with networking, and safe mode but I n t want to run the risk of more. I tried years ago to make a recovery DVD, but it never worked.

  Now, I tried to retrieve from the hard drive, but he said, he cannot locate HDD 1 and recommended to try to remove the partition numbers which is something that I put t really understand.
  Anyway that I can't get back to factory settings.

  Is this what can I do to get my hands on a recovery image or address this issue. Any help welcome. Thank you

  Recovery image is designed for the specific cell phone model.
  Recovery image contains the operating system, all the drivers needed for some hardware platform and all the other extra stuff like tools and utilities.
  You can try to install this image of recovery of your brother, but I can't say for sure it will work 100%. It can happen that OS load and after a few seconds the blue screen.

  Look, if you like your laptop and you want to use some time, pay the 30 euro for the original recovery disc and problem is solved.
  Otherwise, I must say that this old L300D works well with Windows 7 then maybe it would be a good solution for install you Win7 and have much better OS than Vista old. It is, of course, the most expensive option.

  At the end is only your decision what to do.

• Re: Satellite L300D - HARD drive with unknown password recovery?

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300D of second hand to a colleague and went on to restore its framework Moose per HARD drive recovery according to the guide of Toshiba
  Link: [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm]

  I get to part 3 and find a current user name, to which the previous owner has no knowledge of, or a password in order to continue the process. Does this mean that the previous owner has locked the recovery process or there at - it a way to recover the system without the password?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  Hey,.

  Theoretically, you could ask the colleague to the password ;)
  HARD drive recovery is possible if you know the password, otherwise everyone could perform HARD drive recovery and would not be without danger.

  Alternative, you can use the Toshiba recovery disc. It will be the same as the drive HARD recovery, factory settings will be restored too.
