Satellite Pro A300-1PW: keyboard is distorted and descends down to the left

Hi all

I really hope someone can advise me pretty quickly. I will explain why.
I got a new laptop Satellite Pro A300-1PW this morning ready for a Christmas gift for my other half.
During the inspection, the keyboard is distorted and descends down to the left on the left side.

After running the Setup process and open Notepad, all keys seem to work and that there seems to be no flex in the keyboard, which almost seems to be made in this way.
As a Christmas gift, I really want to give him the laptop if it is a manufacturing defect.
Before I found this forum, I went and sent an email to the vendor to record the fault and possibly arrange for a replacement, but can someone please let me know if this is how this model is in fact.
I know some might think I'm too worried, but the laptop to give me some money and I want to make sure that everything is, or is not very well.

See you soon.

Hello

This problem, you can also specify with the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider. In my opinion, you should contact them and explain the situation. You might get a replacement keyboard.

  • Why my video game / its getting distorted and slowed down in the preview when imported?

    I am new to this program, but it seems powerful. However, I already got stuck before you begin to edit my video.

    Here all the information:

    I recorded a video of gameplay of Dead Space using Bandicam, a software similar to Fraps and used 48 kHz, 192 Kbps, 2 channels stereo settings for it.

    The video itself is in .avi format 1280 x 720, 59, 94fps (even if the framerate varies when I recorded the thing, between 40 to 70 Not really sure how this works but Windows tells me that his 59 fps.)

    http://oi43.tinypic.com/256cwhc.jpg

    The default setting of the sequence is:

    DVCPRO HD - 720 p - DVCPRO HD 720 p 60

    who uses 48 k as my video.

    I also tried notusing a sequence and just import the clip, but he gave the same results.

    http://oi39.tinypic.com/v2z62d.jpg

    When I play it back in VLC/Windows Media Player/MPC, it works fine, the audio and video flows as it did when I recorded it.

    Perfect. But when I import into first Pro CS5, it gets reworked in 11025hz somehow... and when I preview the he, of course, it sounds like shit.

    He is also very bad. Some sections have good framerate, others seem to operate at 10 frames per second.

    If the original file is obviously very good, however there something important in Premiere Pro.

    http://oi44.tinypic.com/2060r5.jpg

    I tried all types of different parameters of the project and sequence settings, that seem to get the same result.

    I tried to check out the FAQ and the help document, but none of them seems to cover the 11025hz question... I also tried to search the forums, with no luck.

    I am at a loss on what to do, I would be very happy for any help. I'm sure it's something simple, I missed it mucks the import to the top somehow.

    Thanks for your attention!

  • FN keys do not work on my Satellite Pro A300

    I have a Satellite Pro A300 with Windows Vista business, and some of my FN stop working.
    I have tried to re - install the package of added value, but it changed nothing.

    Can someone help me?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Not quite sure, why some of your FN buttons stopped working, but the fact is that utility support memory card Flash controls the FN keys and you should try to restart Flash cards first.

    Select all programs-> Toshiba-> Flash cards, and then restart the tool.

    Also go to Control Panel - tools and performance Information - adjust Visual effects

    Here the function "Use Visual styles on windows and buttons" option on the bottom must be enabled to allow the Flashcards software work

  • Satellite Pro A300 - touchpad failed after BIOS update

    After that good BIOS update 2.00 to 2.10 / suggest by ALERT TEMPRO - http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20091125132031.zip/ the touchpad of my Satellite Pro A300 - GR 1 stopped working.
    He appears under the name hidden in Device Manager. The State of the device - "this device is not present, is not working properly or is not all its drivers installed." (Code 24) "reinstall the driver has no effect of course. I can also access the BIOS utility when you start pressing F2.
    Running Vista Business 32-bit Edition.
    Ideas to solve the problem will be highly appreciated!

    Hello

    Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.
    And you cannot access the BIOS if you shut down the computer.

    You can use an external mouse on the laptop? Please check this too.

    I've also updated the BIOS on my Satellite A300 but I n t have a problem with the touchpad after the update.

  • Satellite Pro A300 crashes with white screen

    I have a Satellite Pro A300, AMD processor, Vista, ATI graphics card.

    The system worked fine for a year, but there are a few months, he started crashing, the screen went white, not blue, whatever it be running, like music, stopped. This can occur after several hours or minutes, or even if he is re-start. All my software is up-to-date, Microsoft and Toshiba. I rebuilt my system from scratch and the symptoms came back.

    At first I thought that this could be a heat problem, but I followed this but I don't think that's it. It crashed seconds after leaving standby mode when it has not had a chance to warm up.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Simon

    Hey Buddy,

    Theoretically, it might be an overheating problem so the screen became due white built in overheating protection...

    You should try to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  • Satellite Pro A300: XP - Internet HSDPA speed limit - only 1 MB

    Hello

    I am user of 2 different models of Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-1NT.
    I use XP Professional extracted from the original XP Recovery disk.

    When it is connected to internet provider GSM using ExpresCard HSDPA modem or HSDPA USB modem I get 1 MB speed limit control on speedtest websites (ie: speedtest.pl) and internet usage is relatively slow when comparing other computers.

    When Windows Vista was installed on the model of the A300 speed was greater than 5 MB.

    I already checked, I'm in the range of UMTS and speed on other computers (Toshiba Tecra with WinXP Pro, Toshiba A100) and M70 with Win XP Home with the same modem (Huawei) has no such speed limit

    What might be the case and the solution?

    Hello

    Have you checked the WLan performance using different WiFi standards?
    You can change the Wlan standards in Device Manager-> card Wlan-> properties-> Advanced tab.

    Check the settings there.
    I recommend using a WiFi standard 802. 11 G for example instead of B/G

    In addition, you should check if you can update the WLan driver and if the BIOS is updated.

  • Satellite Pro A300-15 t does not restart on the current after BIOS update

    Hello

    There is something wrong with my Satellite Pro A300-15 t. I made an update of the BIOS of toshiba recently with the latest Web site and it installed successfully. But after the installation, I noticed that my laptop does not restart when it is connected to the power adapter. It restarts and works perfectly when its power on the battery.

    After restart or start-up the laptop (on battery), it will be well when the adapter is connected.

    But, when I reboot when the adapter is connected, after his stop, just power light turns on for a second or two and gets off automatically. And not even the laptop starts manually by pressing the power button (LCD is turned off when the power light comes on for 2 seconds) when the adapter remains connected.

    So what I do is to pull the plug on the adapter, then start the computer manually by pressing the power button and reconnect the plug of the adapter to the laptop starts. It works well this way. Rest everything works perfectly.

    And this problem started after the update of the BIOS. Now, I don't know how to remedy the situation I don't know if there was a bug in the last update of the bios.

    Details of the update from: http://gulf.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=AE

  • How can I find this specific model is my Satellite Pro A300?

    I have a portable Satellite Pro A300.

    I need to know if I can order the good extra memory for it.

  • Are the keyboards of the Satellite Pro A300 and A300 Satellite the same?

    Hello

    For the moment, I am here in France, and I plan to buy a Satellite Pro A300 with a QWERTY keyboard (which is not exactly a problem for me at the moment). The problem starts when I return to my country where the layout of the keyboard is QWERTY. I intend to sell the laptop when I return (I love not hooked to a laptop computer for a very long time). The thing is that the Satellite A300 is officially sold in my country, but not the Satellite Pro A300. I wonder now if the keyboard for the A300 is compatible with the Pro A300 (looking at the discussions of the forum for older models suggest they are compatible, but I'm not completely sure).

    Can someone provide a definitive answer to this question of compatibility?

    Thank you!

    The button of keyboard layout doesn't depends on Satellite Pro or series of satellites, but of the country where the phone was purchased.

    Different countries need different keyboards button and that's why the buttons are assigned to different positions on the keyboard.

    But the keyboard itself could be used in Sat Pro or Satellite phone too.
