Satellite P300 - 18 M - HDD to the advanced format?

The P300 - 18M has two 250 GB HDDs. The Toshiba MQ01ABD laptop drive series 1 TB announced recently has a thickness of 9,5 mm and would fit into the laptop.

But uses MQ01ABD Advanced Format Technology 4 K sectors, so I'll be able to use a second draw in a P300?

Hey,.

Generally 4K drives are no problem for the computer but Windows XP doesn t supports this. So you must use Vista or better Windows 7 with advanced format HDDs.  ;)

  • Satellite P300 itself keeps restarting after the initial splash screen.

    My Satellite P300 itself keeps restarting after the initial splash screen.

    Start-up of the first screen with the F2 and F12 options down is displayed, the screen goes black, then a cursor appears in the upper left corner and flashes once or twice. Then the laptop stops and restarts and goes through the same process again and again.

    That's all with the power adapter is plugged in. If disconnected, he goes through the above process and close with no reboot.

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

  • Satellite P300-150: slow processor during the test with the id tool intel

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite P300-150 and it was working well in general... play lotro with few problems, but not in dx10 cos it chuggs as hell.

    I noticed he had a genuine problem of warhead of the crisis in the recommended settings, but thought it was just cos he couldn't do.

    But I downloaded the untilty of Intel processor id and he gave the following results... as you can see on the bottom 4 lines the processor is very upset with the expected results for the frequency and buses (fewer than half actually).

    Intel recommends if there is a huge gap, I need to contact the manufacturer... which brought me here.
    Any advice before contacting tech support directly?
    Just maybe I can play warhead after all! : o).

    Hello

    Satellite P300-150 was equipped with the Intel Core 2 Penryn T8300 processor.
    This processor supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology.

    Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows the system to dynamically adjust the tension and the processor core frequency. This means that the CPU doesn't always work with maximum performance, but only if it of needed. This helps minimize the heat dissipation and allows to secure the battery energy!

    The CPU seems to be slow check with the Intel ID tool ;)

  • Re: Satellite P300 PSPCCE - wakes up to the top by itself

    My Satellite P300 pspcce starts to turn more * on * after I manually dump it * off *.
    This happends in the minute following the judgment.

    I started noticing this after that I installed my wireless card, I turned the wake on lan/wlan function * off * in the Bios. But it does not help...

    Before installation of the Wlan card the computer woke up from his sleep too, but not when it was closed.

    I looked in properties of the Wlan card but I couldn't find any wake-up function.

    Any ideas where to look next?

    Hello

    As far as I know THAT BIOS includes more options wake up; so I also recommend disabling these options
    Wake on keyboard
    -Battery clock criticism
    - and Wake-up on LAN (but it seems that you have already disabled)

    In addition, the LAN card support a wake on LAN function in the own properties.
    You should check this in the Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab LAN card.

    Also, I read that it automatically updates windows could wake the portable computer too. Try to disable the receipt of the update and check if it would improve your situation.

  • Re: Satellite P300-150 and HDD upgrade

    Hi, my wife Laptop(P300-150) has developed a tick unit HDD1 - I would like to replace this 250 GB drive with other, larger capacity HARD drive. So my question is twofold

    (1) what is the maximum size of disk HARD of this laptop can tolerate? -500 GB?
    (2) does it matter if I buy a SATA - II - when the original disc in a SATA drive?

    Thanks in advance
    IMM

    Unfortunately there is no document where you can find this info on the maximum capacity of the HARD drive that can be used with the Satellite P300 but I m 100% sure you can use 500 GB on Satellite P300.

    I don't know if your laptop has a SATA II controller but, as far as I know, SATA II is backward compatible and I think you can use it on your laptop, but it runs with SATA that access speed.

    Upgrade disk SATA I HARD and you will be happy with it.

  • Satellite P300-220 - yellow exclamation on the sound card

    Hello

    I just lowered my Satellite p300 to XP pro, but it seems to me that I now have some problems.

    -First of all, in Device Manager, I have a line "Audio device on Bus High Definition"with a yellow"?" and a «!» I installed the audio drivers and kb888111xpsp2.exe execution but that did not solve the problem, this line does not disappear.

    D ' other hand, when I click on "my computer > properties" it is written that I had 2, RAM 96Go, but normally I have 4 GB. Is this normal? I'm a little afraid to see it and not know what to do.

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    You must install Microsoft patches:
    -KB888111
    -KB835221

    But these fixes are also part of the SP3!

    In order to solve your problem, you need to remove the audio driver and the sound card in Device Manager. I then have to install SP3.
    After SP3 has been installed, you can reinstall the sound driver

    It is important that the pilot would be installed AFTER the SP3

  • Satellite P300 with XP hangs at the screen "starting windows."

    I recently bought the Satellite P300 - 01 and had XP installed on it. I have fixed all the problems except for the question, that I'm going to start.

    When I turn on the laptop it loads everything flashes on the login screen and then hangs at 'starting windows' screen If I turn it off and then again about three times this issue finally arrives with the login screen. There was an ASP.NET account, and after the BIOS update that he disappeared, but the problem is still there? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    > There was an ASP.NET account, and he disappeared after the update of the BIOS
    The whole story is really strange

    I put t know how you installed XP on this laptop and why an ASP.NET account was created or exist, but in your case I would recommend doing so again.
    Then install all service packs, hotfixes and patches of the XP!

    Simply show words on XP on P300.
    A friend of mine has installed XP on a P300 yesterday too and the XP works well
    Everything works fine!

  • Satellite P300 - poor sound quality using the Dynadock

    I have a laptop Satellite P300, Vista and a * Dynadock VBI * port replicator.
    Except for the audio part of the dynadock works very well.
    I can edit on 2 screens.

    However, the sound is horrible. You can hear only fragments distorted healthy eating and a white noise.
    It takes the dynadock software, because the sound on the laptop is OK and if I connect speakers (Logitech) directly to the laptop, there is no distortion.

    I already downloaded the latest drivers from Toshiba, removed the old software and reinstalled with the new drivers.
    Technical support from Toshiba didn't have an answer.

    One of do you?

    Perhaps there is a ground loop?

  • Satellite P300 - display resolution incorrect if the external monitor is connected

    I wanted to use a monitor BENQ of WAP 2010 with my Satellite P300 laptop operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

    When I connect it, the display resolution changes to an unusable.
    I installed the latest ATI drivers that I downloaded from the Toshiba site. Max screen resolution is 1680 x 1050. This resolution no longer exists after the connection of the monitor.

    Also, I can't set the correct resolution for the LCD display of the laptop more.

    How set up the screen, so that the monitor displays a clone of the LCD screen for laptop and find the correct resolution?

    Hello

    > Max monitor resolution is 1680 x 1050. This resolution no longer exists after the connection of the monitor.
    Please understand that not all possible solutions are supported by a graphics card chip or a graphics card driver.
    If one of the parts mentioned would not support this resolution then you will not be able to choose and use the external monitor!

    In your case, I recommend the manual of your laptop.
    There you can find a list of available external resolutions and supported.

  • Satellite P300 - 271 - how to replace the keyboard?

    Hello
    I have a Satellite P300 - 271 and there are a few damaged keys. I bought a new keyboard for this laptop.

    Is there a caraa how do I replace the keyboard?

    Greets, Benjamin

    Hi Benjamin,

    As far as I know that these manuals are not for the public. Technicians certified for laptop only can download these manuals. You can download the normal user manual that came with your laptop.

    A friend told me to replace the keyboard to remove the keyboard first, support but it s fixed by screws on the underside. After that, you can remove the keyboard but be careful with the cable.

    Disassembly of the laptop is a little tricky. If you n t have experience with that you should ask a technician for laptop help.

  • Satellite P300-1GN: greenish tint in the upper left corner of the screen

    I recently bought a Satellite P300-1GN, best laptop, I have ever bought!

    I booted up one morning to find a greenish hue in the upper left corner of the screen, at first I thought it was a graphics issue, but after looking closely, saw there was a line of crack/straight lines in the screen itself.

    Fig 1: [http://onfinite.com/libraries/1506419/600.jpg] sorry for the bad quality, camera phone.

    Photo 2: [http://onfinite.com/libraries/1506420/600.jpg]

    Then I had a glance at the back of the laptop to see if there was marks, see if something had been abandoned or struck, but no indication of that.

    Now the crack grew, and instead of going down, it goes right through the screen :(

    Photo 3: [http://onfinite.com/libraries/1506421/600.jpg]

    Could anyone help as to what could be the cause, and if it is covered by the standard warranty 1 year?

    Hello!

    To be honest, I've never seen such a display problem, but for me it seems to be a malfunction of the internal display. Looks like the internal display is broken somehow

    I think that in this case you need professional assistance from an authorized service provider. Technicians can check the display and tell you how it happened I think.
    On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:

  • Satellite P300 - is - it normal that the buttons CD/DVD turns on the laptop?

    Hi all

    My laptop is Satellite P300 - PSPCCE. I noticed that if the laptop is off and press the CD/DVD function it turned on and play Windows media player.

    My question is - is this normal, and if this normal how to disable this option?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's definitely normal. It's not on the new Satellite P300, but also on the old models of laptops with these buttons.
    To be honest I don't know that I don't know if you can turn it off. Either the buttons are in use or not, but, as far as I know, there is no option where you can disable this option to boot the laptop but then use buttons located under the operating system.

    I'll test it on my Satellite A300.

    Whenever the ethernet cable is plugged or wifi is connected, stop work until the screen goes black but the power remains on: fan, always active LEDs. The only way to stop then is to press the power button.

    As the network is always connected, it's really annoying.
