Satellite Pro A300 - 2 3 - FN + F5 broken

I work in a school and we have 20 A300 - 2 of 3 for teaching use,.
Randomly, they lose the ability of Fn + F5, if pressed that LCD is emerging normal 5 options.

Annoyingly, I can't reproduce the problem myself its just something that happens and only a reboot, the problem will be solved.
They were built between a new and all the drivers of Toshiba have been used, latest firmware etc.

I tried to restore a laptop with CD such that it was Toshiba and that didn't work either.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much

Hello

Hmmm strange you would update value supports the package and the utility Toshiba Flash Cards?
If this isn't the case, please do!

You should also update the BIOS if an older version is in use
Finally set the BIOS to default settings and save the changes

Good luck

    Hello

    Do you mean the adapter?

    I advise to use original Toshiba adapter because evil or not compatible adapter can damage the motherboard or would have an impact on the functionality of the laptop.

    Check the part number of your old sector and google for this adapter usually some online dealers should provide such part otherwise you can get in touch with a Toshiba ASP in your country to get compatible part.

    The specifications are: DC 19V 6.32 A (part PA3290E-3AC3 number)

  • Need to host key for my Satellite Pro A300

    Hello

    Is there anywhere I can get a 'Home' for my Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 button without replacing the entire keyboard? I asked around, but the stores do not have individual keys.
    My House key is broken and doesn't stay on properly and I would like a new.

    Thank you

    You are right. You cannot order a unique key. For this kind of situation the best option is eBay.
    You can buy used keyboards and it costs a few Euros.

    Last month, I sold a keyboard used for A300 on eBay and got 14 Euros. It's really cheap and you can buy it.
    When you get it, you try to fix this unique key or Exchange the entire keyboard.

    Sorry, but I don't think that there is another solution for this problem.

    "Webcam is either disabled or has failed." Please check your webcam settings '.

    I installed the new software for camera driver but still the same problem, it was working perfectly before

    Help me please thank you

    The unknown device is bound to the controller USB (USB\VID_0000)
    Webcam module is connected to the USB controller.
    That's why I'm quite sure that this unknown device is internal webcam m

    I recommend you remove the unknown device from the list of devices (mark and press DELETE)
    Then clean the registry with freeware CCLeaner tool.
    After this reboot of the laptop.
    Download webcam for Win 7 software and launch the installation.

    In case its just software problem of workaround should solve your problem

  • What model is my Satellite Pro A300?

    Labels under the laptop are completely empty.
    Looking at the Toshiba Utilities, I managed to get a number of model-part, which is PSAG1E-00F004EN

    Seeking advice for an upgrade of RAM I have been informed by more than 1 manufacturer of memory there should be 3 digits in the model number following the figures 'A300 '.

    I am told that the model number should look something like "Satellite Pro A300-XYZ..."

    Can someone tell me what this "XYZ" is based on the model-part No. PSAG1E-00F004EN?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I ve posted the answer on your other thread but here's a brief overview:

    For all those who need information on the laptop model and have the serial number please check on the card of the Toshiba unit - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails/

    By the way: this number XYZ is not so important. Part number of your machine is important. It is PSAG1E for your A300 and the part number is important for the identification of model and correct drivers download.

    So what I do now?
    Thank you

    Sounds like you have enabled autoplay
    Whenever you insert the memory key USB flash it will try and read the contents of the files on it.
    You can disable this by holding SHIFT when you insert the USB key.
    This should disable the AutoPlay option.
    Then you can go to MY computer in order to access the USB key.

    Note: pilots are zipped so you will need to decompress the content first, I installed a 3rd third party tool called WinRAR to unpack the packages unique.

  • 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 - 1 2 - HDD upgrade advice

    Hello

    I would really appreciate the help as I'm going round in circles. I have a Satellite Pro A300 - 1 2, and I want to replace the HARD drive and install Windows 7, what is the best HARD drive I can get to the laptop?

    Also, what is the maxium of RAM I can install in your laptop.

    Any advice would be great machines running lately and I think that the HARD drive has a bad sector in it.

    See you soon,.

    James

    Best HARD drive? For that matter I n t I answer. You don't have compatible HARD DRIVE but need to better. According to the specifications of the laptop your drive HARD original was 250 GB SATA HDD.
    I have my HDD Samsung A300 inside. Visit your local dealer and buy high quality with 300 or 400 GB SATA 2.5 HARD drive maybe. It will be sufficient, I think. We Toshiba, Samsung or Hitachi HARD drive. Check the price and decision.

    RAM upgrade: your laptop can handle with 4 GB of RAM. no more than that. If you have 2 GB inside buy more RAM of 2 GB module. 2 GB compatible RAM has PA3513U-1M2G part number.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A300 - how to access the installation of Vista hidden partition?

    AHOY!

    I have a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA 2000R

    It had Windows Vista installed when I got it, but after a while, had to reformat, so I did, (I want to reformat my computer every 6-12 months on average), it came only with XP disks even if he got a serial number for Vista on the underside of the laptop so I installed XP. That was about 2-3 reformats there now.

    However, so that finding drivers I've seen mention of a hidden partition to reinstall Vista (which I hope it is 64-bit) and tried to do this several times but unfortunately it does not work, I guess that maybe what XP installation I can accidentally deleted or something? (Thought they had in fact on some solid state memory which could not be written more or something.)

    * Is there a way I can access it, take another that won't cost a ridiculous amount (for example download) or a nice person enough to create an image to download on a site or something that I can download file sharing? *

    I have also a spare copy of Vista (and a bit of XP) on the drive, none of them will work?

    + Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop? Apparently it improved performance on Vista and W7 would be convenient for running on a laptop, and I have also heard say it is possible to upgrade to the full version of the preview or W7 for a minimal cost and would probably be much cheaper than other methods if possible. +

    And I'm actually quite handy with computers, so don't be afraid to throw big words at me,

    (Tried the methods found on the manual on page 3-8 ([link: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/pro/a300/psagda-02000r/download?os=22]).)

    I have European A300 and I believe that the principle on the rest of the same models.
    A300 was offered with Vista preinstalled but without recovery disc Vista. Image that contains the operating system, drivers, tools and utilities for recovery has been saved on the HARD drive and with book factory owner was able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. It works with the factory only settings.

    With preinstalled Toshiba laptop recovery disk creator owners have been able to create the recovery disk that can be used if the disk HARD recovery doesn't work anymore.
    If you don t have access to this image saved on HARD drive recovery, you must use the recovery disc. If you don t have the disc that you have a problem. Recovery image can not be downloaded. All you can download are the unique rivers, tools and utilities that you can use if you install a clean version of the OS (operating system).
    On the European models, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDrecovery.

    Anyway, A300 works with Win7 32 bit. I installed it on my machine and I m very happy with it.
    > Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop?
    I put t know who should give you this overview, but the fact is that you get it from Toshiba. You should check if you can get it in another way.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - System32\hal.dll file is corrupted or missing

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300, which says that the System32\hal.dll file is missing or corrupt.

    Is it possible to repair the file by a recovery by the laptop itself, or do I have to get a copy of Windows Vista to start over and do it this way?

    Hoping to get some possible answers to what to do.

    Thanks Christian

    Hello

    I read that some discussions in different forums and in most cases the new OS installation may solve this problem. The HAL.dll in place in C:\Windows\system32 then maybe you could solve this problem in copy this file from the Vista CD in this folder

    You could start the unit by using a Live CD (linux or windows lice CD called PartBe or WinPE)
    But the easiest solution would be to the recovery procedure

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 "Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD" upgrade

    We have a Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 (bought on 23-11-09) that came with Vista Business 32-bit installed, but has been downgraded (using the provided diskette) to Windows XP due to the demands of corporate network.

    When Windows 7 became available, I bought the DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 Toshiba provided so that if the company decided to upgrade to the new operating system, we could do it on this laptop.

    That's what I tried recently to discover that we can't do as the DVD is for Win Vista upgrade Windows 7 Pro. What is the best way to upgrade without having to buy another drive to upgrade. I have a set of recovery disks for an another Toshiba SatellitePro A300 - 2 4 which was bought about 2 months before this one. These were created using the Toshiba recovery software before any changes have been made on the laprop. Would I be able to restore the system to its state of Windows Vista using these disks and then use the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD to make the upgarde?

    Suggestions or recommendations would be greatly received.

    This upgrade package offered by Toshiba is upgraded from Vista to Win7. So if you want to use it, you must install Vista recovery image at first.

    After that, you can upgrade pre-installed Vista to Win7 following the Toshiba s implementation instructions.
    I did the same thing my Qosmio X 300.

    If you cannot use created recovery disc either s order Toshiba Vista recovery disk or (perhaps the best solution) install the clean version of Win7. A300 is fully supported for Win7 and you can download all the necessary drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.
