• Satellite P300 - how to open a stuck DVD player?

  The DVD on my Satellite P300 drive just decided that she does not want to open. I tried to use a paper clip in the small hole next to the button, but that does not work either. The LED on the drive just flashes.

  Someone at - it other ideas.

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  Normally on every CD/DVD player there is a small button of relief that you can open the player with a small paper clip even the CD/DVD isn't working or the normal eject button. If you use the emergency eject button the drive opens and you can remove the CD or DVD.

  Also, check the user manual. I found this inside information. ;)

• Satellite P300 - 19 p: CD/DVD drive is trying to read the disk then ejects

  Hello

  I hope someone can help,

  I have a * Satellite P300 - 19 P *.
  I've had this laptop for 3 months and it's the last frustrating problem; occasionally when I insert a DVD or CD and close the CD tray tries to read the disc and then ejects the disc, even if I remove the drive and close the drive drawer pops out again,

  If I shut down the system and restart the problem still exists.
  I checked the drivers that are updated and the operating system is Windows Vista Home premium 32-bit.

  It is the fourth time this happens and the problem seems to fix it of self and reappears as and when!

  If anyone has had this problem or can anyone help because it makes me crazy.

  Hello!

  I think that s a problem with the CD/DVD drive.

  In your case, I would go to an ASP (authorized service provider). They should check your laptop and change the drive if necessary.
  Here, you can search an ASP:

• 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 - upgrade to larger hard drives and 7200 RPM?

  I have a Satellite P300, model PSPCCA-01W073 (sold in Australia). Machine has two 320 GB of HARD drive. Yes, it's all up to 640 GB. I upgraded to Windows 7 OS and I have dual boot in to Linux Ubuntu.

  My job is editing/processing of multimedia files big and my hard drives are overexploited, so I now I am forced to exchange large files back and fourth with various USB hard drives. If I can replace the existing readers with much larger models, then I will go ahead and do it. .. But at this point, I'm out of my depth!

  I asked the support from Toshiba if P300 supports larger disks but they will not engage all the answers outside the original specifications. They suggest that I should try Toshiba users forum for more help.

  A kind person could tell me if it is possible to run drives 320 GB and the size. Also, I believe that the existing drives are 5400 RPM. My online store parts and pieces of local computer lists a choice between Hitachi, WD, Seagate and Samsung with sizes:

  (2.5 "/ 5400 RPM") 320 GB, 500 GB, 750 GB and 1 TB as well as sizes: (2.5 "/ 7200 rpm") 500 GB, 640 GB and 750 GB.

  So my second question; y at - it no advantage or disadvantage to the superior speed of 7200 RPM.

  TIA, your help should prevent to me yet an another expensive blunder.

  Hello

  Theoretically more big hard drives must be supported and should not be a big problem to use this HARD drive as the SATA controller is not limited to any size.

  Also the use of the faster HARD drive 7200 RPM should not affect the performance of the laptop even if this HARD drive faster produce more heat

  In my opinion you can upgrade to a larger and faster HARD drive

• 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?

  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!!

• 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 - 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. ;)

• HARD drive recovery - Satellite P300-1GQ

  Is it possible to perform software factory default recovery or recovery of State out-of-box for my laptop Satellite P300-1GQ?

  I ve used Toshiba HDD Recovery Tool and it only formatted the C partition leaving unchanged D partition. Vista works well, that all data on the D partition. I could just format the partition D, but the problem, is that the titled HDD recovery folder is stored on the D partition. Back in 2009 when I bought my laptop, I created the HDD Recovery DVD s by following the instructions. I could use and format the entire hard drive, but the information that I got from tech support in my country told me that the new record of recovery disc HARD would not be created.

  I want to just wipe the drive and do a fresh install with new file recovery HARD drive on the drive D partition, in short: right now. Is it possible or not?

  > Is it possible to perform software factory default recovery or recovery of State out-of-box for my laptop Satellite P300-1GQ?

  It is possible:
  In doing a recovery of HARD drive or using the recovery disk

  As far as I know using the recovery disk disk HARD integer could be formatted and create return to the same State as at the first day of the purchase, it would mean that the folder of HARD disk recovery and HARD drive recovery option should be available even if you use the recovery disk!

  Firstly, it must ensure that your wireless network card and your WLan router would support the Draft N.

  Second, you should check if the project has been selected in the WLan card properties.

• Satellite P300 does not start because of HARD drive password

  I have a Satellite P300 laptop and it seems to be frozen.
  When I turn it on a blue box rises and requires a HARD drive password before windows turns on, but I can't type the password because there is no cursor.
  None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.

  I was wondering if I have to buy a new hard drive and if I do, can get one with more capacity that it is only 149 gb?

  I don t want to buy if its repairable,.

  Thank you

  > None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.
  Connect an external USB keyboard and check if you can type the HARD drive password.
  Generally, if you know the HARD drive password, the use of the external USB keyboard should work

  Would it be possible that your keyboard is broken?
  You can access the BIOS F2 press during the startup of the device?
