• Satellite Pro A300-1NT - update of the BIOS has not

  Hi, I'm an island here can someone help me solve this problem without sending it to the workshop of maintenance if possible.

  I've just updated tempro informed me a bios update. I ran the update, but it froze completely the system (Vista). I waited 15 minutes to show no sign of life (flashing lights or unlocking system) and then I turned it off thinking the thing crashed. Now, it won't turn.

  Is there a way to fix this? As it is turned on, it checks the cd player, can be resolved by updating the bios from a cd? Or a flash key?

  Help please :(

  Unfortunately, a botched BIOS update cannot be solved only by an authorized Toshiba dealer.

  (* 1) * my knowledge the CMOS battery is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced like for example on desktop PC
  (* 2) * remove the CMOS battery would NOT reset the BIOS nor would be to remove the passwords.

  If I understand your problem, you are not able to access the BIOS, but you can start the laptop and the system. Is this correct?

  You have a kind of password (user / supervisor password?)

  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.

• Re: Satellite Pro A200 - black screen after the BIOS screen

  Hello

  My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor. Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.
  I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

  If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

• Satellite Pro A300 - upgrade RAM of the former model A200

  Hello

  I need an advice. I just took a memory (Samsung) 1 GB of more old model Satellite A200 module and put it on my new model Satellite Pro A300. Here is the information about the SPD:

  _Original (which has been installed in the factory): _

  DIMM1: Kingston (2 GB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM)
  Manufacture Date week 20 / 2009
  @ 333 MHz 5-5-5-15 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) / 20-43-3-5-3-3 (RC-RFC-RRD-WR-WTR-RTP)

  According to the information provided was it a good or bad idea? I mean differences in the SPD and will this performance, stability, etc. ?

  Thanks a lot for your time!

  Hi xosman,

  According to the information that you have posted it seems that the other Satellite A200 module has the same specifications, so if your laptop works with this module it s no problem I think.

  Satellite A200 A300 using the same memory modules DDR2 so change the RAM is no problem.

• 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 - how to install the webcam?

  I got my laptop via my uni so did amyn backup discs (especially not the webcam).

  Basically my laptop is a Trojan virus on my webcam, set it and I restarted my computer. It is then flashed up on reboot that I need to install my webcam but I don't have the disk and now I can't use my webcam! What should I do?

  PS I'm not a genius with computers so please be easy on me with the language.

  Hi mate,

  If you need to reinstall the driver for the webcam you can download on the Toshiba site and all drivers for your laptop:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  I have too many Satellite Pro A300 and it s not delivered with the Toshiba Recovery disk because you create such a floppy yourself. So start the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop and you can create this disk. It contains a picture of the factory settings, and so you can restore the entire system every time.

• Satellite Pro A300 - nasal sound if the WIFI is enabled

  School, I work has recently bought some A300s, but when they turn them on, all sounds are stuttering.

  This is the jingle of Windows startup, the CD and DVD, and programs installed on the computer laptop itself. The only way I can stop the sound problems is by disabling the wireless lan. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, update the driver, replace the driver, but all without success. The school network is wireless so disable the wireless LAN cards long isn't really an option.

  Anyone got any ideas?

  Hey xarkaltos,

  It would be interesting to know what OS you are using. I have too many Satellite Pro A300 and I can t t notice nasal sound if the WIFI is enabled. My A300 works pretty well and doesn't make strange sounds.

  Maybe you have installed another OS, if you restore the OS from Toshiba by using the recovery disc or HARD drive recovery option.
  Otherwise, follow the instructions posted by Al - eX.

• Satellite Pro A300 - how to get the sound on the TV with VGA cable?

  Hello world

  I have a real problem connecting my Satellite Pro A300 to my Samsung HDTV.
  The video works fine - I used a VGA connection on the laptop and the TV.

  The problem I have is healthy.
  I want the sound either also come from the TV. I tried a jack of 3.5 m from the headphone jack of the laptop to a red and white connection RCA audio on the TV, but it doesn't seem to work.

  Does anyone have any ideas or advice?
  I need of additional drivers, etc., or do some settings need to be changed etc etc.

  Hello

  Normally, to use the 3.5 mm jack plug in the headphones, you need an adapter cable.
  At one end, it has a 3.5 mm jack and the other side to connect red and white audio RCA connections.
  Here is an example of what I mean:
  http://www.optimization-world.com/IMG/prod/3_5_mm_rca_audio.jpg

  I m using such an adapter without any problem. You n t need an additional driver, or something more. It's the same as if you were using a helmet. :)

• Satellite Pro A300 wrong interpret all THE CD/DVD

  Hello

  I need help!, I have a Satellite Pro A300 equipped with a multimode GSA - T50N (RT04), DVD player, but it does not work.

  The drive appears as DVD RW drive (e :))

  If I put a DVD or a CD player will not autorun and will, say something like 0 bytes free 645 MB (for example), when I right click on the drive icon and select Explorer, I get a message "prepare this blank disc.
  It doesn't matter what kind of media, I put in or even if its Blanck, formatted, a cd of music etc the size 0 bytes free of 645 (can be anything) is always different, but always appears the message "prepare this blank disc.

  How can I solve this that the laptop is totally useless without the player works correctly.

  Scott

  I had the same idea

  I recommend first of all remove all the system burning software.
  Go to Device Manager, and then remove the drive from CD/DVD to the list of devices. Then start the registry and go to completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  After that, restart the device and wait for the CD/DVD drive was recognized again

• 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.

• Satellite Pro A300: How to create the recovery disk

  Hello
  I just bought a Satellite Pro A300 with Windows XP.
  I want to know how I can or if I need to create a recovery disk that will reset the machine to its original state.
  The information gives instuctions on how to proceed for the Vista machines, but not for XP.

  I know that I can recover from the hidden partition, but where this is not possible, I wish I could get CD or DVD.
  There is a recovery CD included product that says only: "MS Windows XP" so I guess that it does not include drivers or Toshiba Software?

  Any help appreciated,
  Thank you
  Mick

  Hello

  Please check this box.
  Using the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator you can create the recovery disk.

  But if your laptop was already pre-installed with Windows XP and then a Recovery CD or DVD must be included.

  Have you checked all of the items in the box?

  First of all, start Notepad and press F8 immediately after that the laptop has been powered. Then choose the first option called fix my computer.
  A new window should open, and you should choose the last option called Toshiba HDD Recovery.
  Then follow the instructions on the screen.
