Satellite Pro A300 do not close

Sometimes when I press shut down on my laptop Satellite Pro A300-1 was 8, he spent ages on vista blue screen "Stop" and never really stops.
So I have to hold the stop button to turn it off. Is this a known problem, or any way to solve?

I'm updating in Windows Update for Vista, so don't know what the problem is.

It could be a bad driver or application.

For example, your Virus scanner might be looking for a floppy drive, when there is no joint.

Or it could be a bad mouse/scanner/printer driver.

Before you stop, close all the programs that are in the system tray.
Uninstall all the drivers you have installed recently.
Use Run-> msconfig to disable suspected programs and services at startup

  • 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 can not find USB devices

    Hello forum,.

    We have a customer who bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 with us, but he gets a strange mistake about it.
    It connects to a hub 5port Sandberg USB 2.0 to one of the usb ports, the pc detects the hub, but when it connects a /Memory stick to the hub, nothing happens.
    the hub and the memory stick works on other PCs.

    I hope someone can help.

    Best regards

    John Bork
    DANBIT A/S

    Hello

    What happens if you connect the memory stick directly without this USB hub?
    I also had a USB hub, but these hubs are a little complicated and delicate USB specification allows a certain power and according to the devices that connect, you need to use an active USB hub, that means with external power supply.

    But normally, Satellite Pro A300 should have enough USB ports if it of needed, I would recommend a USB hub with 2 or 3 maximum ports

  • Satellite Pro A300 does not

    Hey guys,.

    So my laptop hit me a few months ago and I have never anything on it. But now, I'm determined to get it sorted!

    So basically, I had my laptop connected to my printer via USB, the laptop is just frozen. Nothing was responding so I turned it off.

    Now, when I turn on the laptop, I get this message "Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer."

    Then he'll talk maybe caused by a disconnected usb device when using the laptop. Now, I don't remember exactly as it was a few months ago, but there is the very real possibility that I accidentally unplugged the laptop when I used the printer!

    I can't start the laptop at all. I get this message described above and if I click on enter I the option to run the Startup Repair (does not work, just brings me to a black screen after the attempt to load files or something) or start windows normally, just take back me to the screen on the error!

    I tried my recovery discs, I had with the laptop, but it ends as just in a black screen, no noise of a disk moving as if its launch of its application.

    If anyone had a solution to this problem, it would be great. (I said that I'd give you guys a shout before my departure for the computer Expert, which equals money, so hopefully one of you can help!)

    Thank you very much for reading!

    Rob

    You boot from the recovery disk or run it in Windows?

    You can boot from other bootable CD or DVD?

    Added additional memory (RAM)? Maybe test it with the www.memtest.org Memtest bootable CD
    You can test the hard drive as well using Hitachi Drive Fitness Test or similar bootable CD.

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E - Win 8 upgrade questions

    I decided to update my old Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E-00700TTE Vista to Windows 8.

    After two tries he has been successful. Vista made me mad, and when I decided to give my son, I wanted to work better.

    Toshiba doesn't seem to be willing to support the old models. (over 3 years).

    I can not even find this model code in the lists, the site does not seem to recognize the serial number.

    This is why all the Windows 8 upgrade tools provided are not relevant.

    I met a few minor problems before, but the Toshiba Turkey never replied messages, even those concerning the new products when I considered buying a new laptop. In the end I went for an Asus, which exceeds my expectations.

    I don't expect all support this time either, because of past experience. But I still want to try one last time.

    Is there a way to get the material in this workbook in Windows 8?

    > Is there a way to get the material in this workbook in Windows 8?

    Satellite Pro A300 is not that win 8 supported means that you will not find to win 8 drivers for this series, but of course, you can use Win 8 on this unit.

    In some cases, the municipality of Win 7 drivers would be compatible.

    Toshiba tools like VAP (value added package) to win 8 can also be used, but we must look for a Win 8 VAP released for other more recent models.

    Touchpad driver can be downloaded from the page of the Synaptics driver also other drivers like LAN or WLan can be found on chip manufacturer pages.

  • Satellite Pro A300 sleep and extended functions does not properly

    I have a new satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E - 01E00VIT, and I find this problem:

    Sometimes (not always: maybe it depends on which program is running) in trying to put the computer to sleep or into hibernation, it does not stop, but only stop the monitor (Panel), while the fan goes on and the power light is green. Of course, a lot of energy consumption of battery!

    Then there is no other way to take off the computer by pressing the power button for a long time... but this is not correct!
    NB: my computer is always connected to a local network, and generally there are some browser windows open when I put it in stand-by mode.

    How can I fix?
    jomurray

    You must update the BIOS and must always close the programs and applications that ruin on the laptop before activating the standby mode or hibernation would be.

    I found this solution in this forum, and according to some people here it has solved similar problems

  • FN keys do not work on my Satellite Pro A300

    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

    The problem is that your laptop supports the SATA HDD controller but the system OS does not contain the SATA drivers
    You can assign in the compatible SATA mode BIOS.
    This allows you to install the operating system without installation of the SATA drivers.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300 - DVD drawer will not open most of the time

    I have a portable Satellite Pro A300-1NH. The DVD drawer opens not most of the time. Sometimes it does, but most of the time it isn't.
    Sometimes, if I can get a DVD/CD in the drawer for something to burn, burning works.
    Most of the time the computer does not recognize that there is a disc, and then I can't open the drawer again to get it out.

    Can anyone tell a novice what should I do to resolve this issue please?

    It looks like a mechanical problem. You need to replace or insert a PIN or no folded into a small hole on the plateau near the exit button whenever he is stuck.

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E. Should I keep or not?

    Hello

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E. It came pre-installed with Vista and also a DVD to upgrade to windows 7 Professional (that I installed).

    I tried to start the machine this morning, but for some reason it wouldn't start. All that's happened is that the initial toshiba screen appears, followed by a black screen frozen (showing underscore in the top left corner).

    The thing is that I have seem to have been able to solve this problem, but I do not understand how and why this happened!
    The issue seems to be related to the battery. At first, I tried to boot up the laptop (with only the battery connected) however it would not start. I don't think this has nothing to do with the amount of battery charge, because it had more than enough in it. I then tried to start it with just the power cable (and no battery). For some reason any that seemed to do the trick, and the laptop has been able to start. The laptop has now also boots when battery and the attached cable.

    Why is this happening?
    I am interested to know, is because this laptop already has given me a few problems. The laptop also bought very recently, so I can still return it for a refund (which I seriously think!).

    What should I do guys? Any help/advice you give to this topic would be highly appreciated.

    Thank you
    Jay

    > All that's happened is that the initial toshiba screen appears, followed by a black screen frozen (showing underscore in the top left corner).

    Underscore flashing in the left corner means that the BIOS battery was empty or something wrong with the HARD drive (possibly BIOS didn't find the right source of start-up)

    I recommend access to BIOS and set it to the default value. Save the changes and try to start the device again.

    You should also keep the laptop connected to the mains for about 24 hours and the laptop should be ON as well.
    This will help the CMOS battery.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - Webcam does not work in Windows live messenger

    Recently bought a Satellite Pro A300, with integrated webcam. However, when I try to use the webcam in Windows live messenger it comes up with the following error messages.

    * "We couldn't start your camera. Please check that your camera is not currently being used by another program, and then try again. » *

    Also this message...

    * "Messenger is not available right now. Please try again later. (0x82000009). "

    Now, the camera is not enabled, and Messenger works normally.

    * HELP! *

    Thank you

    Folic

    When you get the message if another program uses always the camera.

    So, try to disable the webcam software and other e-mail programs in msconfig.
    Restart the laptop and if you want to use the webcam software you need to start the first webcam software.

  • Cooling fan does not work on Satellite Pro A300

    Hello world

    I was asked by a friend to repair their Satellite Pro A300, because their CPU cooling fan had stopped working even during the start of the POST and the laptop could overheat and shutdown. So I thought it might one of three things:
    # Fan is obstructed by dust or dirt
    # Rolling fan failed
    # Fan power cable was loose

    So I disassembled the laptop and cleaned the fan/radiator with compressed air and check the connection of the supply, which was solid, but this does not solve the problem, so I replaced the fan and the heatsink with another that I knew worked from the same model laptop that had a motherboard fault due to the bug of password to start random bios (out of warranty) but still no joy.

    I'm starting to believe that the fan was perfectly fine rather motherboards temperature of the processor or the sensors that control the activation of the fan has failed.
    Am I correct in thinking that it is essentially, irreparable without specialized tools and my friend will be content themselves to turn the system off each hourish or is there something else I forget?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    I m not a technician, but for me, looks like the fan connector is working properly if you already replaced the fan and therefore, it would be necessary to replace the motherboard

    That s all I can say about it having a look for second mainboard or laptop where you can get a motherboard cheap. Maybe it works. :)

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E: Touchpad not recognized using Win XP SP2

    Hi all

    I just got a Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E, which is preloaded with Vista. It is also comes with a 'product' XP SP2 recovery CD I had to use because of some software work with Vista compatibility issues.

    Unfortunately, everything works well except the Touchpad, which is not recognized by XP at all (without entries, error or not, in the Device Manager).
    The "Recovery" of XP CD installed the drivers of the Alps and the Toshiba Touchpad utility (for turning on and outside), so it seems that it is supposed to work.

    It is activated in the BIOS (which I have also flashed to the latest version, just in case) and is enabled in the software. I also rebuilt the laptop using the "Recovery" CD (the touchpad is not also recognized by starting on the CD "Recovery" which I guess uses WinPE).

    It does not work on Vista, so it shouldn't be a hardware problem.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Andy

    Hey Buddy

    Well in your case I would recommend going to the Device Manager and remove the touchpad in the list of devices.

    Then visit the European driver Toshiba page, choose your model of laptop, Win XP OS and download the driver for the Alps Electric and Synaptics touchpad.

    Install both drivers, reboot the laptop and check if your touchpad will work correctly.

    Good luck
