Satellite P300-1GN - what firewire chip is?

Where can I find out what firewire chip has this laptop and do I install original drivers for it? Windows XP Device Manager says "IEEE 1394 OHCI compatible Host controller vendor" with the Microsoft drivers?

thanx

Hello!

You can find this if you install a hardware information such as Everest or PC Wizard tool. These tools can display all the information in hardware on your laptop and the two tools are free.

If the Firewire port is listed in the Device Manager correctly you n t need an additional driver.

Good bye

  • 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 P300-172 - what is my serial number

    I'm trying to download the easy cap software from a cd.
    The installation process requires me to disclose the serial number of my laptop.

    Problem is that I can't continue without entering 19-digit while my serial number has only 9.
    Is there something I'm missing here?

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    Is the "easy cap" screenshot software or hardware to capture the video? If the latter then [http://forum.easycap.co.uk]. In both cases, I doubt that is it SERVICES has a list of formats of mobile number and will make any 19 figures. But is your problem with a package of video capture as Ulead and your software has been provided as a bunch of OEM with PC from another manufacturer?

  • Install Windows 8 on Satellite P300

    As usual rushed in and installed Windows 8 on satellite P300. What error - slow, loss of functionality. How to get back to Vista was preinstalled or is there a way I can fix it to run windows 8.
    Processor Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU [email protected] 2.4 GHz, 4.00 (2.99 usable) GB RAM 32-bit system, x 64-based processor.

    Satellite P300 is plu laptop comes with Vista, but also supported for Win7. Unfortunately, it is not supported for Win8 so, in my opinion, there is no sense to install Win8 on it.

    Win7 works perfectly on this machine so if possible use Win7 on it. in case you want to use original Vista, you must install recovery using recovery DVD image. This way only to s to have factory settings once again.

    The question is: do you have the recovery disk?

  • 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

    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

  • Satellite P300 - 20 H - what should I do after HARD drive recovery?

    Hello

    I just picked up my Satellite P300 - 20 H, using HARD drive recovery,

    Any ideas as to what I should do now? Laptop backed up, HDD Recovery wiped and returned the laptop to factory default. What should I do now? I never wiped a laptop or a PC before. I did the restore via the HARD disk and all came back when I got the laptop almost 2 years ago but now I have 108 updates to windows, and my Toshiba Tempro does not work.
    I have to update all the drivers on the laptop and if so, how do I know what needs to be updated and how can I do this?

    I went to the Toshiba site and he gave me a list of the drivers available for my particular model but I am not sure how much of these driver updates, I need to actually download and update.

    If someone could help me it would be really appreciated.
    I would be delighted if someone could just explain to me, because I don't know anything about pc / laptop and just want my laptop back to power. So that everything works correctly. I read in the section of the conductors, on toshiba.com that not all windows service packs must be downloaded not all work along the coast Toshiba laptops. So im stuck if I have to download and install updates Windows 108 that are required to be installed also.

    Hope someone can help out me.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey,.

    I m wondering about your question: it seems that you have made the recovery of HARD drive but you didn t know what HDD recovery not right?
    As you have noticed, it will restore your computer back to factory settings. You have the same settings that you have purchased. It is therefore useful if Windows doesn t start more or you want to reinstall Windows.

    You can use your laptop as before: there is no difference. All Windows updates should be installed, that's very important because they are security updates day and you help protect your computer. So, start Windows updates and follow the installation.

    Site Web de Toshiba driver updates aren't important, only when you notice problems. If this isn't the case, you can forget the driver updates. ;)

  • Satellite P300 - 219 PSPCCE - what should be the optimal heat of CPU?

    Hello there;

    I use for my laptop Satellite P300-219 (PSPCCE) newly bought about a week now. When you type I can't help noticing, the place where I put my left hand, I want to say the empty space to the left of the touchpad, feels much too hot. I looked for the manual and I have learned that it is where the CPU.

    Then I searched for a way to measure the heat of CPU, and after having tested some programs with too many different measures, I led to believe that the 'CPUID hardware Manager"gives the best results, after you set the correct value TJUNCTION.

    Here are the steps I get today while typing this message:

    ACPI hardware monitor
    Temperature 0 45note ° C (112 ° F) [0xC6E] (THRM)

    Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T6400 hardware monitor
    Temperature 0 56a ° C (° F 132a) 0 x [31] (Core #0)
    Temperature 1 54a ° C (° F 129a) 0 x [33] (Core #1).

    Monitor hardware ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
    53A temperature 0 ° C (° F 127a) (GPU Core)

    Hardware Hitachi HTS543232L9S monitor
    Temperature 0 37â? Â ° C (98A? Â ° F) (0 x 25) (Assembly)

    From now you mind, windows taskbar indicates that I use roughly about 15 & 35% CPU. After a little use, I even though the CPU heats by a maximum of 69a ° C.

    The truth is, I don't know what to do with these readings, is my laptop which works very well, or he has problems? Could someone please tell me what should be the optimal level of heat for a P300, or where I can learn?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    In my opinion, everything is ok with your laptop, buddy and the temperatures are quite good. Don t be to worry about this!
    If your laptop could overheat, it would have to close or freeze immediately. If this isn't the case, everything is ok with the temperatures.

    What you can do is to change the cooling method in Windows power management. Here, you change between performance and battery optimized cooling.

    By the way: you should also clean your laptop at any time. I clean my laptop every 3-4 months using a jet of compressed air. This blows the dust from the cooling fans.
