• 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 :(

  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 - on power turns on, but nothing happens on the screen

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P300-1F0, yesterday it was working fine, I turn it off nothing extraordinary happens.
  Although later, when I went to turn on I pressed the power button, but the screen was not working, I tried to connect an external display but nothing showed on this subject, although the power of lights was turned on, the drive CD opened and closed as normally don't and I could hear the fans work.

  That I realize windows 7 welcome sounds were not playing even after a few minutes with the laptop turned on and the laser mouse was working only for a few seconds before it shuts down.
  It was when I started to believe that this was not a screen problem, but something else.

  I have read a few forums and I tried to unplug the power cable, remove the battery, press the power button for 60 seconds and turn it on and it worked, it worked fine, I used the computer for a few hours without any problem.

  Today the same problem has occurred, and I tried to set the same way as I did yesterday, hold the power button for 60 seconds, but this time it did not work. I retried it for 3 to 5 times and nothing.
  After a few hours, leaving the computer is off, resting, I retried the process and now it worked.
  Now I'm afraid to turn off the laptop, because I need a lot of time and patience range to activate.

  What could be the problem and how do I solve it?
  Can you help me?

  cumpliments,
  Adriano

  > I have read a few forums and I tried to unplug the power cable, remove the battery, press the power button for 60 seconds and turn it on and it worked, it worked fine, I used the computer for a few hours without any problem.

  Yes, this workaround is sometimes useful to bring back the unity of life.

  > What could be the problem and how do I solve it?
  It's hard to say what causes this. Satellite P300 is an older model mobile phone, so it is possible that among the pieces of equipment begins to malfunction.
  It would be interesting to know if the use of the various modules of RAM would change the functionality of the laptop. If you have compatible RAM modules spare you can test it.

  In the worst case, it could be possible that beginning of motherboard laptop malfunction.
  It would be the worst case I hope for you that it s not mobo related issue.

  PS: Check if your BIOS is up to date. In case this is not the latest version, try to update the BIOS.

• Satellite P300-1GL battery falls to 85% when you unplug the charger

  Hello

  I had a Satellite P300-1GL for about a week and I let it charge and discharge several times. When Vista tells me that the battery is fully charged (100%) and the battery light changes from orange to white on the laptop, I unplug the charger. Then, my battery level falls almost immediately from 100% to 85%. If I plug the charger in the laptop, he noted again the battery 100%.

  Can someone help me out here?

  Thank you very much.

  Select this option.

  Hello

  As mhoffmann suggested discharge the battery fully until the laptop shuts itself. Then reconnect the AC/DC adapter and charge the battery fully. If you now disconnect the AC/DC adapter is again - reductions of up to 85% battery level?

  If so, I think that the battery must be exchanged. Contact the registered maintainer the closest that you can find on the Toshiba site and ask for a new battery. Technicians will try to help you:

• Satellite P300-1EI (PSPCCE) - how to allocate more memory to the graphics card?

  Hello

  I have a laptop toshiba satellite P300 with this graphics card: ATI mobility radeon HD 3650.
  I want to allocate more memory for this graphics card. How could I do?

  I can't do this in my bios, I don't have this option...

  Another way?

  Something like that is not possible because the graphics card driver it controls automatically.
  If the graphics card would need more graphics memory then the driver assigns the amount of necessary RAM automatically.

  Hello

  I'm a french so please forgive me for my bad English.
  I just want to know if it is possible to install Linux on my system without compromising my warranty.

  My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P300 - 19H
  The current operating system is Vista Premium Home Edition (pre-installation on my laptop)
  I paid for 3 year extended warranty, that's why I want to be sure I can install Linux.

  If it is possible, I have to take certain steps before you try to install it in a Dualboot with Vista?

  Thanks for the reply.

  Hello

  You can install Linux without losing the warranty. Toshiba doesn't support Linux on this laptop, but you can install it of course.

  If you want to do a dual boot with Vista and that you are interested in a version of Ubuntu, you should take a look at the Wubi:
  http://wubi-Installer.org/
  It is a sure way to install Ubuntu on laptop with Vista installed.

  Check it!

• Re: Satellite A65 will start not because of recovery CD formats the HARD drive?

  1. my Satellite A65 WinXP seems to be corrupted and does not start.
  2. my system is dual-boot, Windows XP (16 GB) and Xandros Linux (24 GB)
  3 Xandros boots. Windows XP has been removed from the start menu.
  4. If I run the Toshiba Recovery CD, it will enter and reformat the whole disc or only the first partition WinXP?
  5. are there instructions online for the recovery CD?

  > 4. If I run the Toshiba Recovery CD, it will seize and reformat the whole disc or only the first partition WinXP?

  Well, if you have an older version of recovery which provides two options; standard recovery and recovery expertise, so you could choose the partition on which the operating system must be installed and ONLY that partition is erased and formatted.

  But if you, recovery CD doesn t contains options then the recovery CD will format the entire HARD drive!

  So be careful
