• laptop computer connection tv s-video / rca cable

  I want to connect my laptop to my tv so I can watch movies from my laptop on my tv.

  I have an Inspiron 700 m mobile and a symphonic TV.  The TV does not have a s video port, just the rca (red, white, and yellow) port.  My laptop has s video port.  So I purchased a s-video / rca cable to connect the two, but it didn't work.  I don't think the laoptop reconizes the tv.  Every time I did something on the laptop, the TV would flicker a few times. Can someone give me instructions step by step on how to connect the two.  I'm kind of a computer dummy so I don't know much; If detailed step by step direstions would be great.  Thank you!

• Satellite P300-1FN > TV - HDMI no longer works...

  Dear someone who knows more than me on this subject, both around 6 people...

  I get bought a plasma TV 32 "Toshiba (regza I think) and Toshiba Satellite P300-1FN.
  I also bought a HDMI cable and watched dirty movies from my laptop on my phat 32 "TV for a few months now. Beautiful stuff.

  After about 1 month, 1 HDMI port has stopped working. Only, it wouldn't pick up any signal from the computer, so I remove the cable and place in the 2 HDMI port on the back of the TV. Worked well. (so I guess it isn't the cable at fault) Once again for about a month now which has stopped working too... DA-DA-DA-DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM...

  Before, when I plugged the two screens on the computer, would be black for about 3 seconds while they adjust the resolution, then the same image appears on both. Now when I plug it in, the computer screen just "don't blink" followed shortly the message on channel HDMI on TV "no video signal", if I remember correctly.

  WTF?

  Cheers, Allan.

  Wow guys thanks a lot for your hospitality and help...

• What can be done to improve the performance of the Satellite P300-150

  Hello

  I have laptop Satellite P300-150.
  It seems powerful enough but struggles with some of the latest games.
  It s not my main but game machine I m aware if he's struggling now, it won t well before he won t be able to run at all.

  And I wouldn't be able to play on the move...

  What can be done to increase the capabilities of the laptop - like tweaks, tools and upgrades?

  Thank you
  Max

  Hello

  You could improve memory to 4 GB of RAM.
  The laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB, but note that the Windows 32 bit OS (Vista & XP) will see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
  In this case, you must use the 64 bit OS to get full access to 4 GB.

  Second, you can configure laptops OS. I mean you could start the msconfig and might turn off some background process is not necessary including the performance of laptops of waste.

  Unfortunately, other upgrades are not possible (apart from HARD drive, but will not increase performance)

  See you soon

• Installation of drive HARD recovery does not start on Satellite P300-150

  I have a 2008 Satellite P300-150 I want to restore factory settings.

  I followed the steps described in the manual of s to do it from the hard disk (F8 at startup), however, when I try, a screen will appear with a warning with the topic box"system recovery options"then below says "cannot start the installed program. Click ok to turn off the computer.

  I don't know m which is better to do it now if someone could suggest another way to do this, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you

  The situation is quite simple to explain. Recovery image installation can be done on two tracks:
  -using the HARD drive recovery or
  -using the create recovery DVDs.

  I put t know if you created this disk after advice from Toshiba, but if you use for the installation of operating system.

  By the way: Satellite P300 works perfectly with Win7 32 bit, so if there is a way to install do. It works much better than original Vista.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome. ;)

• Satellite P300-21F - display drivers error in the Windows XP support site!

  Hello from Greece!

  Satellite P300-21st model PSPCCE, I bought 3 days ago and I am still installing display drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics card.

  The drivers that are provided on the official website of support are wrong, because they are for the Mobility Radeon HD 34xx/36xx series, not the 46xx series.
  Installing drivers is impossible and please give me a solution for this problem.

  I have already informed the local partner of TOSHIBA named IDEAL.

  Kind regards.

  The driver for Win XP is NOT bad!
  The fact is that the same notebook was equipped with 3 different graphics chips!

  The series of laptop Satellite P300 PSPCCE uses graphics chips: Radeon HD 34xx/36xx/46xx series

  The driver on the page is designed and compatible only with Mobility Radeon HD 34xx/36xx chip. It does not support the 46xx series.

  Unfortunately, it seems that XP driver for your graphics card is not yet out.

  Maybe you should check some 3rd party Web page for a compatible XP driver for Mobility Radeon HD 46xx

• Satellite P300: webcam driver open failed

  Hello

  I'm desperate.
  1 month ago I bought a satellite P300-190 with webcam internal.

  Everything seems to work, except the webcam.

  I get the error when you start the software: "webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.

  I read so many threads about this problem.
  I tried: update of software, of the bios, graphics card, software of the camera.
  follow-up of most of the things specified in the markets, but still the same problem.

  Is there a somewere expert who can help me solve this probem?

  Thanks in advance,
  Best regards, Jeroen.

  * Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.
  * Install the Service Pack 1 of Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
  * Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)
  * If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.
  * Try to close the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
  * To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

  If this does not work, the best option would be to backup your data and run recovery. If it still does not work, then the webcam itself may be faulty.

• Strange problem with the button "Enter" in Vista on Satellite P300-225

  A few weeks ago I don't remember exactly when, Windows Vista on my Satellite P300-225 began to spend an incorrect applications scancode when you press the Enter key. It always sends the scancode of key keyboard, even when I hit than the alphanumeric part of the keyboard. It was working properly some time ago, but suddenly, it just started acting like that. No remapping all keys.

  Since there are very few programs that Act different on these two keys, it has become quite an annoying problem.

  The strangest part of it, is that the problem seems to be somehow related to Windows Vista, as the keys are properly reported on Linux.

  If anyone has any idea, please let me know.

  > I'll give a try to uninstall the keyboard in SafeMode but.
  Please post the result.

• How do I reinstall Satellite P300-1 has 2?

  Hello! I really need help with my Satellite P300 - depending on how (with basic English) delete all my files on the computer, and then reinstall Windows Vista. I've read thorugh a lot of topics, assistance to users and others, but can find no solution at all.

  Because I know that some BIOS-based and other stuff, so I would be grateful if someone could explain to me step by step, how to formate (?) my computer everything and then reinstall Vista.

  I'm sure he was following no CD with the computer when I bought it, 70%, so in other words, I don't have any CD of Vista!

  Thanks - I'll be happy for any kind of answers that you believe can help out me

  Hello

  Just a question: have you already installed another version of Vista or not?

  In addition, I put t understand why you didn t read the user manual
  The point is that you must create a recovery disk Toshiba by yourself using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. This tool is preinstalled on your laptop and so you can create a Setup disk.

  You can boot from that disk to reinstall Vista or other, you can use HARD drive recovery. You can start it if you go into the advanced boot menu and select Repair my computer. Then follow the instructions on the screen and Windows will be automatically reinstalled. With HDD the only function the first recovery partition will be wiped off so you can back up your files on the second partition.
  Here's more information: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  But I really recommend you read the manual before doing something. It s very interesting! ;)

• Satellite P300 - ODD not recognisd in BIOS

  I have the Satellite P300 (pspcha 03n017) with DVD multi drive but I can't 'see' the DVD in BIOS.
  I reinstalled the BIOS from here, but it's still not there blinking at startup but...

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Can you please elaborate on this subject?
  Maybe exchanged for optical disc with a new drive?
  How did you notice this problem? Have you noticed that the disc is missing in Windows Explorer and Device Manager first?

  If the drive is not detected by the BIOS there are certainly a hardware problem.

• Satellite P300-27 x - issue processor upgrade

  Hello!

  I just bought my Satellite P300 - 27 X, but I discovered, that the processor is a bit slow... so now I'm looking at upgrading processor... I was looking at the dual-core intel P8700, P9500 or maybe T9300 (I generate 10W more heat)? ....

  Now, I would like to ask if its possible to upgrade processors written with? I have the same GM45 and socket BGA479... But the tension is differerent on these procesors....

  How to change that?

  Do I have to put the new bios-is there?
  What heat? I have the dissipaton of heat current OK for 2, 5 GHz processor?

  Thanks for you answers!

  Generally the CPU upgrade is not supported and I think that it is not best solution for you.
  See also http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  I think CPU on your Satellite has enough power for all operations you need. To increase the performance of laptops, increase the RAM. As I see it can be upgraded to 8 GB.

• Card VGA for Satellite P300-212

  Hello

  I need help.
  I own a Toshiba Satellite P300-212 (model No. PSPCCE - 052001 GR / series n ° 39128963W).
  Now my VGA is broken.
  Now, I want to fix, but I have different information about the 'original' built in my laptop VGA.

  1 TOSHIBA BD3 VGA/B-M96 Q - DR. A000039790
  2 TOSHIBA BD3 VGA/B-M96 H - DR. A000045290

  Which is the correct?

  The 2nd Board has 2 different numbers: 81869TBS & 98415TBS
  But the number of pieces is the same.
  Now I'm confused.

  What are the differences between the boards and which is the one I should buy?

  Thanks for the help!

  I m not an expert for this but what I've found, is to follow:

  This laptop model comes with two different graphics controllers
  -ATI M96 DDR3 (1 GB)
  -ATI M96 GDDR3 (1 GB)

  The only difference is that ATI M96 DDR3 (1 GB) doesn't have analog output (S-video/composite) TV.

  Has your computer laptop S-video port available?

• My Satellite P300 forget sometimes load the video driver

  My laptop (Satellite P300) sometimes "forget" to start to load the videodriver.
  If the resolution is by default in the Windows startup screen.
  No matter what version of Windows I have, all the drivers are up to date.

  When I restart for the most part, the problem is solved...

  To be honest I never heard of something like that. in recent years, my brother has P300. In the beginning he used with original Vista and 2 years its P300 works with Win7. No problem at all.

  I don't know which OS you are using now, but have you tried reinstalling the video driver (display)?
  I also hope that you are using driver on Toshiba download page.

• Satellite P300-1FY - BSOD right video driver problem

  Hello

  I bought this laptop a month ago to replace my old who crashed without possibility of repair and I had problems with the video drivers since then. I hoped that the problem would resolve since I am in the middle of my exams and I really have time too much more time to spend to fix it myself, and I also can not him go to the store because I need some software for my exams.

  So the problem that in my view, lies in the video drivers for the graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470. While I'm working on my laptop my screen all of a sudden turns black and my computer crashes (including the very unpleasant noise when I play music at the time) after 5 seconds it flashes live and displays a message indicating that a beelschermstuurprogramma niet Super perfect en is naked herstela. In English, it would be something like s video drivers did not work properly and have now been repaired.

  It is of course extremely irritating, but it became even more then a few weeks previously when I had a blue screen because of a similar error. What make me lose half an hour of work on my laptop. (and as someone who has had reviews knows, half an hour is not something you can always afford to lose) I ran the wizard, and he sent me to the ATI site to look for the drivers.
  The downside is that I could find many drivers, but none for the 3400 series. After an internet search for awhile I finally found some drivers for these series (or they pretend to be), however, this installer was corrupted. I also searched the Toshiba site, but I did find what I was looking for.

  The laptop also freezes from time to time without the screen turning black.

  Could someone help me with this problem?

  Louis-Philippe

  P.S.: quality of the keyboard is really bad also

  First of all, you should post the exact code of BSOD and what operating system you are using. Then, we can search for this problem and what is the reason for this on the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
  Then please send the BSOD code.

  In addition, I put t understand why you can t find a driver on the Toshiba site. Satellite P300-1FY belongs to the PSPCCE series and so I can find a display driver for XP and Vista. So where is the problem? Maybe you should try to install this driver:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  But before you install the driver, remove the old driver first. Reboot the laptop and clean your system with CCleaner. Restart the computer and then install the latest version on the Toshiba site.

  The display driver on the factory site Internet (ATI) doesn't work because it s only for cards of office and not for laptops. Then, you can t install and your laptop has only been tested with drivers of Toshiba.

  If the new driver doesn't work, you should try to update the BIOS too. You will find on the page of Toshiba.

  Good luck!!
