• Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE re-start when it is plugged

  I've had this laptop stored for awhile that I couldn't work through this problem, but I'll have another chance.

  The laptop is a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE.
  The problem I am haiving, is that the laptop might restart whenever I connect the PSU, but not when you use a live CD (Ubuntu).

  Let me try to Flash a BIOS replacement to see if this will fix the problem.
  Unfortunately, the necessary software to Flash the BIOS requires the laptop to be plugged.

  Is there a way around this problem?
  Can I trick the software into thinking it is plugged?
  Is there a way I can return/repair of the BIOS in a different way because obviously the problem has always been there.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Sorry mate but I'm afraid I n t m know exactly what the problem is
  You said that you can not boot from a Linux Live CD, but you can install a Windows system on this laptop?

  Why do you think the BIOS is the problem?
  Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop should power on correctly and should boot

  Can you explain the problem exactly?

• Satellite Pro A300-1E7 - cannot start the cam software

  I bought the Satellite Pro A300-1E7.
  Webcam does not work in MSN messenger video call.
  Will have problems similar to the previous posting, except that I use Zonealarm.

  I think that Zonealarm has disputed cec_main.exe in a similar way.
  I tried to follow the instructions here, but without much success.
  I removed the Camera Assistant SOftware and re-installed the driver but does not seem to have improved things.
  Now c:\program files\ software of camera for Toshiba assistant has completely disappeared and the Panel camera assistant no longer appears on the side of the desktop.

  Any ideas please?

  Hello

  I used the Zonealarm happened and I was not really satisfied, because this software locked everything and most of the applications didn't work properly even after the new configuration! Finally, I removed this software and I noticed more advantage. my laptop starts much faster!
  I think this software would lock the cam software too.

  > Now c:\program files\ software of camera for Toshiba assistant has completely disappeared and the Panel camera assistant no longer appears on the side of the desktop.
  This means that the software has been removed and is not installed correctly.
  But to be sure, check in Control Panel-> Software (Add & Remove Programs) if the webcam is installed.

  I have the internal cam of Chicony too and it s works well as part of the software Skype. I didn't test t MSN but I don t see serious reasons why it shouldn't t work.

  In my view, you must first remove the zonealarm. Then clean the OS using CCleaner. Finally, redownload the webcam software and reinstall it!

  The toolbar of the webcam is not always visible on the desktop.
  It seems that if you move it the mouse cursor to the place where the webcam tool bar was hidden.

• Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

  Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

  In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
  Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

  What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

  When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

  When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
  The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

• Satellite Pro A300 - cursor is random if the power is connected

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 running Vista Business and my synaptic touchpad cursor started becoming erratic and cannot be controlled normally.

  It is hard to move and it will open programs and the internet, etc. This happens every time power outlet is plugged but normally works on battery. I ran Malwarebytes and AVG 8 scans, but they come without any problem. I restarted mode safe (after a forced closed down) and the problem has always existed.

  Can someone throw some advice on this problem?

  Strange. I never heard a question also and now I can t say what is the reason for this, but I hope that I can help you identify the reason.

  It would be interesting to know if you have the same problem with an external mouse. You can check this please?
  You use the original from Toshiba AC adapter or another?

  Perhaps the problem can be solved if you update the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site:

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro A300-guest 1GT random freezes

  Hello, I have an A300-guest 1GT (running windows 7) for a few years now and just recently, that it started to freeze. It happens randomly and everything crashes (can't move the mouse, the keyboard does not work) only option is to press and hold the power button and stop it. What tends to happen more often when the day before, or when I do less intensive tasks (writing documents surfing).

  When it crashes the same Viewer displays only the 41 events (which is the closing force).

  I did tests of memory with memtest and windows +. A slot has a few errors and I took it, but the system still crashes. Also, I did a full format and reinstalled the update windows 7, all the drivers on the toshiba site and it still crashes. I have the speed of the fan installed to check the warm-ups, but everything is less than 40.

  Safe mode works perfectly.

  Hello

  It seems that the high temperature cannot be the problem here, but it s interesting that your memory seems to produce errors
  If its only a problem of memory, then new module to solve this problem, but it would also be possible that the location on the motherboard is affected
  In this case the motherboard needs to be replaced

  By the way: would be interesting to know if the laptop would be still freezes with new operating system preinstalled theoretically system problems could cause this gel too.

• Satellite Pro A300-1E7 - slow startup

  Hello

  It takes more than 5 minutes for my PC to boot from by pressing the button to get the Vista desktop (Business) to appear. Can anyone suggest something to improve this unusually long boot?

  Given the specification of the system, this seems a little crazy, especially when I started at the side of every portable specified and they take less than 2 minutes.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello!

  You have a lot of file and msconfig startup programs? This can cause a slow start at the top. Check it!

  More I read it in the forum, sometimes useful for uninstall TEMPRO s. trying to remove it and test it.

  Also what operating system are you using?

  Good bye

  So I recommend you to check if you have used the correct USB port!

• Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA-02000R CPU and graphics chipset mismatch

  can someone help me with the specifications of this laptop.

  When I look at the official brochure of toshiba for this product, he mentions that the Chipset of the CPU

  "Mobile Intel 965 PM Express Chipset.

  but the second video card says

  "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GM45.

  Which is true, because what I read on the site of intel GMA X 3100 is used on the mobile 965 PM Express Chipset.

  Any help will be much appreciated.

  To be honest, this unit is not known to me, but I know that some other Satellite Pro A300 supports other chipsets.
  For example:

  SATELLITE PRO A300 PSAJ1E-005008BT supports the Intel GM965 chipset and graphics chip Intel GM965
  SATELLITE PRO A300 PSAJ5E - 001001GR is supported by the chipset Intel PM965 and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470
  SATELLITE PRO A300-1E7 PSAGDE-003003EN supports the Intel PM45 Express and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 Mobile Chipset
  SATELLITE PRO A300-1HF PSAG1E-00K00SIT supports Intel GM965 and Intel GM965 graphics chip as well.
  SATELLITE PRO A300-21 b PSAGDE-01S007A3 supports the Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470.

  As you can see there are many different laptops with hardware components completely different models
  I googled too, and it seems that the PSAGDA Satellite Pro A300-02000R supports the PM of Mobile Intel 965 Express chipset and graphics ATI Mobility Radion, HD 3650 with 512 MB + Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GM45.

• Satellite Pro A300 - Wi - Fi connectivity limited after sleep mod

  I just buy a Satellite Pro A300 with Vista, but when he falls asleep or I close the lid, wake him up he cannot connect to the internet (Wi - Fi) until I reboot. I get an error message that I have "limited connectivity" to my wireless network. Can anyone help?

• Satellite Pro A300 freezes when on the internet

  Satellite Pro A300 freezes when on the internet & the only way to turn it off is to take out the battery. Bought new Dec 2010 & is under warranty - suggestions?

  Hello

  have you tried to update drivers Lan (wlan)? What browser do you use? I guess, the Internet explorer, try firefox or opera. Also, your computer may be infected with the virus, or blocked by the firewall. Have you installed software before it starts? Is this ok when you bought it? I ask you too, because you do not have a lot of information.
  It is especially the driver, software problem.

• Satellite Pro A300-28V - my bluescreens disappeared when the BIOS has been upgraded

  I'm curious to know about it. The machine is a Satellite Pro A300-28V with Vista32/Win7.
  Had problems with bluescreen dumps referring to 'iaStor.sys '. I was about to send the laptop in for repair when I made this last effort to resolve the problem. Upgrade 1.9 to 2 BIOS, 1 - Win.

  All of a sudden my system image succeeded! Even at an Iomega home network HDD. Without complex!
  No blue screen exports even at startup 'cold' (after a free night)!

  For now, I leave the computer in sleep mode while I am at work. Let's see if he managed a day without landfills.

  What is the technical difference between 1.9 and 2.1 BIOS? No idea if it's something with iaStor.sys to do?

  Hi mate

  This is really good news as your BSOD displeasured after the BIOS update.
  The BIOS give instructions to the test power - on self test (POST) and provide basic information on how to manage components of the laptop, as HDD, ODD memory, that are required to load the operating system.

  Who knows, what was changed in the update but the main thing is that all the work and the update solve your BSOD

  > No idea if she has something with iaStor.sys to do?
  iaStor.sys is part of the SATA driver who is required to recognize the HARD drive using AHCI mode.

• Satellite Pro A300 - the cursor moves continuously when connected an external mouse

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A300. When I connect a mouse directly by USB the cursor moves constantly. I also have a mouse attached via a docking station, Toshiba and that works perfectly.

  It doesn't matter what USB port I use or if the laptop is connected to the docking station or not, or if it works on AC or on battery power.

  I thought it was the mouse that was the problem, so I went and bought a new one but the problem persists.

  Actually, while I wrote this post, he has stopped doing that and then started! Very frustrating.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro A300: Bluetooth headphones sound decreases when it is connected

  Hello

  I have a pair of headphones Creative SE2300 Bluetooth that I use with my Satellite Pro A300 and its built-in bluetooth.

  They connect well and work as they should (including the A2DP and AVRCP) except that the sound cuts every 20 seconds or more for anything from a fraction of a second for a couple. Abandonment of sound is completely intermittent no apparent reason for it.

  Now earphones Creative also came with a transmitter to connect to any helmet and the connection to it works perfectly with no decline in the sound. I also connected the earphones to my phone and it used to listen to music, and once again the connection is flawless.

  So why the connection to my laptop is so bad?

  I have improved the battery Bluetooth to the last v7.00.16 (T) and my headphones are fully charged.

  Any help will be very appreciated!

  You have any other Bluetooth connections configured for example data synchronization?
