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:

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - difficulties in upgrading the BIOS

    Hello

    I tried to update BIOS on my new Satellite Pro A300-1EA (PSAG9E-001001EN), requested by Tempro, since version 1.50 to 1.90. The system has completely frozen during the BIOS flash, after waiting for an hour, I decided to turn the power off and pray for the best. Thank God, everything works still, but the BIOS is always v1.50, not been updated. I now read so many posts on the forum about the update of the BIOS of marbled and am now very cautious about subject to any BIOS updates at all.

    My questions are: is there about this particular update and/or with the installation of InsydeFlash problems? The BIOS updates are usually all so difficult that they have better be avoided? What are alternative means for updating BIOS, hopefully less dangerous? Also, could there be potential damage to my laptop that is associated with this is BIOS flash a miscarriage I should know about?

    Thank you very much indeed!

    You can feel happy, my friend! :)
    I m surprised that your ROM module is damaged or something. In most cases, this occurs if the computer hangs during the update.

    Let me give you some advice. You should only update the BIOS if it of needed or if you have questions-problems with the laptop. You can ignore the messages of TEMPRO if your system is working properly. For example I have never updated the BIOS if my phone goes perfect never touch a running system ;)

    If not, follow the advice posted by Akuma before update you the BIOS to close all running programs, disable the AntiVirus and firewall and connect the AC adapter.
    On my Satellite U400, I've updated the BIOS without problems.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - 13 X: Question on the product recovery disks

    I recently bought a laptop Satellite Pro A300 - 13 X with Vista Business installed.
    It came with two product recovery discs to install XP Professional.

    Given that I decided just to use XP, I followed the procedure for recovery of product and I am now running XP from the first disc. It seems to work correctly.

    I'm unable to install the second disc and I wonder where it is. It contains 7 application files 001-002-003-004 crc and tpa.

    Anyone know what to do with this drive?

    Don't know what this disc contains or how to install it, but check if everything works and if all programs and utilities are installed, which you had Windows Vista.

  • 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?

  • Re: Satellite A30 - battery starts to unload if the power is connected

    Hi all

    My Toshiba laptop Satellite A30-871 began to discharge the battery while the power is connected (the LED shows that AC is connected but laptop consumes the battery power instead of loading battery and the use of current alternative). When the laptop achieved 0% battery turns off. Remove the power plug and reconnect do not resolve the problem, while the computer is turned on, only computer shutdown will begin the battery takes over. Which means that I can use portable so that battery retains some powers. Sometimes, when the laptop is turned off and the battery is charging, battery charging LED starts to blink and I have to remove the power plug and plug back.

    I don "t think it's a bad power connector because the witness indicates the power is connected.

    I wonder if anyone has a solution for me.

    Kind regards
    Nova

    Hello

    Just a question; does the laptop functions and using only the AC adapter (without the battery)?

    If Yes, then I guess that the problem might be related to battery failure.
    Maybe a new battery could solve this problem, but as you know this is just a suggestion

  • Satellite Pro S500 - cursor jumps randomly

    I have a Satellite Pro S500. There is a problem with the keyboard. When I type (no matter if I use Word, a web browser or any other application, even if the problem seems to have been particularly serious when you type this particular message) the cursor sometimes (often) randomly climbs: it goes back a few words or it can highlight a random section of text (it also makes no difference if I use a mouse external or not or how heavy/light style typo's).

    It was suggested that this may have something to do with the sensitivity of the touchpad; However, reduce its sensitivity had no effect. It is a very annoying problem and would be grateful for any advice.

    Thank you.

    Hi ap4h,

    I think you touch the keyboard as you type so you must disable the touchpad tapping function. This can be done in the options of the touchpad driver.

  • Satellite Pro R850-15F - freezing randomly and the fan speeds up

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro R850-15F who gave me four years in refurbished condition and so it is quite old.
    I have recently installed Windows 10 and things seemed to work very well.

    However, last week, I noticed that at least once a day my laptop freezes randomly and immediately the internal fan accelerates, becomes much stronger and a cold air. Whenever this happens, I turned off the laptop and turn it back on it.

    After that, it works normally again until the next time it freezes. I don't know anything about computer hardware, but I suspect that it is a problem of series and I wanted to get some advice in case my laptop is close to dying.

    If anyone has any help or advice or suggestions to solve the problem, then I would be extremely grateful if you would contact me.

    Hope to hear from someone soon,

    Flashback

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. To me, it looks like problem with some background process that as a result of extremely high CPU usage that locks the phone whole.
    High CPU usage means more heat in such situation the fan starts to run a lot faster.

    Have you noticed this behavior with a specific action or the use of certain applications?

  • 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 L20: battery not charge when the power adapter is connected

    Hello

    all advice appreciated.

    I had a Satellite Pro L20 for about 18 months. Recently, battery does not charge when the power adapter is connected. The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile. However the ACPI often said that AC is "offline."

    There are two recent occurrences that coincide with this problem, I try to eliminate:

    1. my friends rat chewed by the feeder for pets! Power is Mobile OK insofar as he fled sector - the rat seems to have simply chewed by the outer cover (I see some threads, but I think that is just a shield, although I'm not an electrician).

    2. I put the laptop in hibernation for the first time. That seemed to mess up the system a bit, which was what initially drew my attention to the problem. This question is a bit complicated because I'm under Linux (Xubuntu).

    I updated the drivers etc from windows when I bought the laptop. Never had any problems until now and have been running linux for centuries. Also, I have mainly the laptop the power supply turned off, but do not remove the battery (is that really a problem these days?)

    I obviously need to replace the adapter, but is - it is likely (and how I can check) that the battery was borked until?

    see you soon
    Chris

    First, please check if the other are lit.
    If the AC led and power led are on the adapter sector is ok and it provides the power to the laptop.

    > The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile
    If the battery LED is yellow, this means that the battery is not fully charged and if the Green led changes then recharging is caught and the battery has been recharged.

    So I really don t see any problems with the charge process.

    Maybe the battery is old and so you cannot use it for an extended in such a case only the replacement of the battery could help.

  • Satellite L755-M1CU restarts as soon as the power supply connected

    I have an old L755 of 3 years.
    4 months, one day, the laptop just completely turns off and restarts as if nothing had happened.

    I was puzzled, but I thought that I must have accidentally hit a button that caused his restart.
    As the days have begun to spend to buy, the number of reboots has started up.

    At first it would occur once a week, then twice, until 2 months ago, when it started to happen almost every 5 or 6 hours, I used the computer. Initially, I thought that this was due to the death of laptop battery.

    So I got rid of it and started using it only on the sector without the battery shows but found that it was not feasible since there are frequent power outages in my area.

    Then I go back to work on the laptop with a trendy new inserted battery and ac, but the frequency of reboots continued until it was happening every 15 minutes.

    So I tried to boot into safe mode and everything works absolutely fine. Zero restart little matter how many time I use it. Since last week, I can no longer turn on windows normally with the power source is connected. Windows works fine if I'm on battery only.

    Even when windows is running on battery, as soon as I plug in the charger, the phone restarts. What could be the reason?

    I did some research online and found that some models of satellite have a defective capacitor installed called the NEC/Catherine causing similar problems.

    Thanks in advance guys.
    All reviews are much appreciated

    These issues are still problematic, and they should be considered. For me, this looks like electronic power supply.
    It could be that electronic power make certain thresholds for some reason any.
    To be honest, I can't imagine that you can do something. All you can do is check the usual stuff like RAM, HARD or OS disc, but it will not help you issue described.

    If everything works OK with battery power, it would be interesting to test it with the new adapter.
    It's really not easy to say what the problem is here.

    Try to contact Toshiba service nearest, to explain the situation and ask for help.

  • Satellite Pro A300-1E7 - reboots-random when it is plugged

    As the title says, I'm the random reboots when I plugged into my laptop POWER supply. It works perfectly when I run the battery.

    I also tried to see if it could restart when in the BIOS, but it seems it's OK, even if I have not tried for a long time. I think that the mobo is faulty. An update of the BIOS might help?

    Any ideas would be great, that I wouldn't throw the laptop because it is a little technical high enough Kit.

    Hey Buddy,

    I put t know what you mean with the mobo is faulty, but to me it looks like a hardware malfunction. I mean if everything works correctly in battery mode, everything seems ok and it s not a driver or software issue because it happens on the BIOS too.

    So in your case I contact nearest authorized maintainer and ask for help. Technicians can check what the problem is and fix it for you :)
