  Have you tried reinstalling the driver for the webcam? You can download it from the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Before installation: remove the driver current webcam and restart your computer. Try a registry cleaner like Ccleaner, then stop and try again. Now, you can install the latest driver for the webcam.

• Satellite Pro A300-1NT (Satellite Pro A300-guest 1gt)--deuxieme hard drive)

  Hi all

  Is eligible for a Satellite Pro A300-1NT (or Satellite Pro A300-guest 1GT) to add a second hard drive?

  Thank you

  Peter

  Hmm. as much as I know that you can not use a second HDD in this notebook.
  There could be a second HARD-drive Bay, but that does not mean that the use of the second HARD disk would be possible.

  What you need to know is that the A300 series was equipped with different motherboards and not all mobos provides a second HARD drive controller.
  If you want you could remove the fixed the second HARD drive Bay and could check if the connectors are available.

  If it isn't then impossible to connect and use the second HDD.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A300-guest 1GT - cleaning of cooling system

  I can't find any Toshiba Satellite Pro Web site service manuals.

  The problem is that the computer becomes warm during use, the cooler works on the top speed, I'm usually solve these problems by cleaning the cooling system. HP Compaq have service manuals where all wrote - what and how open, how to clean and what screwdriver to use.

  So there are available on the Web site Toshibas maintenance manuals?

  Hello

  These service manuals are not downloadable for ordinary users of my knowledge.
  Just a Toshiba authorized service partner could download this.

  However, if you want to clean the cooling modules, then I recommend using a jet of compressed air. In my case, it always helps.

• 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:

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro A300 - 1 G 0 - freezes on splash screen

  Running Windows 7, the laptop sometimes does no more further than the Toshiba screen, you can even not in the BIOS. I tried to update the BIOS, but without any modification.

  He exhibts only this behavior 1/5 restarts. The only resolution is to hold down the power button to turn off, and then remove the battery to perform a hard reset.
  Any solution would be welcome.
  I think that it worked well even for an upgrade to Windows 7, so I don't know which is relevant.

  Peter

  Hey Buddy,

  If your laptop freezes for the Toshiba BIOS screen, that it has nothing to do with installed software and the OS. After turning on your computer laptop it is a power on self test (POST), so it seems to be a hardware malfunction that your laptop is blocked here.

  You plug in external devices to your laptop as printer, external HARD drive, etc. If so, remove them and test it again.

  In the worst cases, you need help from an authorized service provider. Guys can check and replace the defective hardware.

• 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 :)

• Satellite Pro A300 freezes when on the internet

  Satellite Pro A300 freezes when on the internet & the only way to turn it off is to take out the battery. Bought new Dec 2010 & is under warranty - suggestions?

  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.

• Satellite Pro A300-28R: slow start and freeze on Internet Explorer

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-28R and I'm very disappointed with the performance.
  (1) from the card, it looks like a decent laptop, but with the start time of 3 minutes, 'Please wait' it's probably not impress me considering the fact that I have nothing installed yet...

  (2) I will try to uninstall applications like tempro, but still I am intrigued by the slow response on the internet pages.
  For example when I go on google and start typing something more time, the cursor freezes and I have to wait a few seconds before I'm able to see what I'm typing.
  I only bought it last Friday, and I have not used a lot, but probably a bit disappointing so far.
  Any ideas why the cursor freezes on google or on the toolbar internet explorer?

  FYI, I use Vista Business OS and Internet explore

  any help welcome

  > 1) card, it looks like a decent laptop, but with the start time of 3 minutes, 'please wait' is surely not impress me considering the fact that I have nothing installed yet...

  I'll tell you how to reduce the startup time of your laptop.
  I think you are using Vista and the Tempro should be installed too
  You have two options: either you would update the Tempro or remove the system. Both should help make the Mobile QuickStart.

  (> 2) I'll try to uninstall applications like tempro, but still I am intrigued by the slow response on the internet pages.
  For example when I go on google and start typing something more time, the cursor freezes and I have to wait a few seconds before I'm able to see what I'm typing.
  You should update right Vista in the current state, and should also check if certain unnecessary processes running in the background.
  You can do this by using the msconfig.

  In addition, you should check if your antivirus software does not slow down the system.

  Just a tip; I m using the free software Antivir. It of free and it s really nice, it doesn't have a lot of material resources.

• Satellite Pro A300: Problem with Microsoft Security Essentials

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 with XP SP3 and now deleted AVG Free and installed Microsoft Security Essentialls (MSE).

  The result is after installing MSE and begin my laptop cursor is stuck in the center of the screen and will not respond to the inputs of the mouse or the keyboard.

  In aid of F12 to get my startup options allowed me to try the Safe Mode and last known good Configuration etc but they all show the same functionality, IE freeze when the desktop appears. XP seems to be operating in the background, for example system clock stays on time, "notice" system if its wifi singal is removed etc.

  Just to make the day to try to do an OS reinstall pressing 0 to on has no effect - system just boots in XP - so I can't my recovery partition!

  I have now is not a HW problem as the /kbd cursor works if I boot into a non-windows system, for example UBUNTU CD

  Any suggestions welcome - such as can I download a recovery on antother PC CD and burn a recovery CD?

  Hello

  I have no idea what happened after installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but it seems that you are not able to access the files on the HARD drive
  I think you need to reinstall the operating system using HARD drive recovery.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=58

  But this would format the system partition :(

  In order to save the files from the HARD drive, I recommend using / boot from a bootable floppy from Win PE.
  Win PE (also called BartPE) is a thin window OS that is bootable CD and don t need to be installed on the HARD drive.

• 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. :)

• Unable to use webcam on satellite Pro A300

  Hello
  I have Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-PSAGDE, I have problem with the camera, I can't open or find him, when I open it I got a massage said

  "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

  I also got notice this strange unknown device, when I update it says "the best software for your installed isallready device.

  I have windows 7 SP1 X 86

  I have attached photos to strange unknown device, also you can AVI there is no material of the webcam!

  I'm wondring if it's related to camera problems.

  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.

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

  I have a portable Satellite Pro A300.
  There should be 3 other characters after the "A300" bit, but I can't work it out.

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

  Can anyone help?
  Thank you.

  Check the labels at the bottom of the unit.
  You will find the part model number like for example: PSAJ5E - 005001GR
  The first 6 characters (PSAJ5E) are important.
