• Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA-02000R CPU and graphics chipset mismatch

  can someone help me with the specifications of this laptop.

  When I look at the official brochure of toshiba for this product, he mentions that the Chipset of the CPU

  "Mobile Intel 965 PM Express Chipset.

  but the second video card says

  "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GM45.

  Which is true, because what I read on the site of intel GMA X 3100 is used on the mobile 965 PM Express Chipset.

  Any help will be much appreciated.

  To be honest, this unit is not known to me, but I know that some other Satellite Pro A300 supports other chipsets.
  For example:

  SATELLITE PRO A300 PSAJ1E-005008BT supports the Intel GM965 chipset and graphics chip Intel GM965
  SATELLITE PRO A300 PSAJ5E - 001001GR is supported by the chipset Intel PM965 and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470
  SATELLITE PRO A300-1E7 PSAGDE-003003EN supports the Intel PM45 Express and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 Mobile Chipset
  SATELLITE PRO A300-1HF PSAG1E-00K00SIT supports Intel GM965 and Intel GM965 graphics chip as well.
  SATELLITE PRO A300-21 b PSAGDE-01S007A3 supports the Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470.

  As you can see there are many different laptops with hardware components completely different models
  I googled too, and it seems that the PSAGDA Satellite Pro A300-02000R supports the PM of Mobile Intel 965 Express chipset and graphics ATI Mobility Radion, HD 3650 with 512 MB + Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GM45.

• Satellite Pro A300 - blue snow on screen

  After about 20 months trouble free operation, my Satellite Pro A300 has developed an intermittent failure annoyingly screen appears where a scattering of blue pixels, most noticeably on a white background. Generally any form of action (including a proverbial "click") clears the screen until the next time it happens.

  Any idea what's going on? Any help appreciated.

  > Generally any form of action (including a proverbial "click") clears the screen until the next time it happens.
  Means that they are not dead pixels or something like that in this case, it could be a graphics related issue.
  Have you tested this external monitor? Pixels appear on the second screen?
  If so, then this might be a GPU question

  But you can also check if an update of the driver can be useful of course the old driver must be uninstalled and then the new driver update must be installed.

  However, it smells like a hardware problem, so I'm not sure if a driver update that would improve

• Satellite Pro A300 crashes with white screen

  I have a Satellite Pro A300, AMD processor, Vista, ATI graphics card.

  The system worked fine for a year, but there are a few months, he started crashing, the screen went white, not blue, whatever it be running, like music, stopped. This can occur after several hours or minutes, or even if he is re-start. All my software is up-to-date, Microsoft and Toshiba. I rebuilt my system from scratch and the symptoms came back.

  At first I thought that this could be a heat problem, but I followed this but I don't think that's it. It crashed seconds after leaving standby mode when it has not had a chance to warm up.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Hey Buddy,

  Theoretically, it might be an overheating problem so the screen became due white built in overheating protection...

  You should try to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  In your case, I recommend reading this article:

• Satellite Pro A300-28R - shows horizontal stripes

  My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 sometimes displays horizontal stripes making the text unreadable images before portable crushes and I have to restart. Occurs usually when I'm on the internet. Does anyone know why this happens and how to solve?
  Once I rang Toshiba UK Technical Support and a rather impatient adviser said it was a discharge of static electricity problem, but why is it not with my laptop Pavilion?

  My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 is less than one year, but the problem occurred repeatedly. I also had to replace the power adapter already because of the cable being too steep to the piece of cylindrical shape next to the Jack. Is this all I know a question of production with this series of laptops?

  > My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 sometimes displays horizontal stripes making the text unreadable images before portable crushes and I have to restart. Occurs usually when I'm on the internet. Does anyone know why this happens and how to solve?

  These symptoms of display can be connected to a screen, graphics card driver or the graphics chip.
  First of all, you should try to update the graphics driver and should check it again.
  Secondly if this problem would appear then you must connect an external monitor to the laptop to check if the same would be visible on the external display.
  If so, the problem could be related to the graphics chip.

  It would be the worst case, a graphics chip cannot be replaced, but the whole mobo must be replaced in order to solve such a problem.

• Satellite Pro A300-28R - Windows startup with a wrong display resolution

  OK so I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-28R with Windows 7 64 bit and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics card.

  Recently, I have connected my laptop to a TV using the S-video connection. It worked well. The problem is that since then, and every time I start my laptop Windows starts with S-video of 600 x 800 display resolution.

  I tried changing the settings in the Panel and using the ATI CCC, having once selected and applied these settings, but whenever Windows starts now it starts with the above display resolution.

  As a result, I've also uninstalled and reinstalled my display driver both package Toshiba value added but the same problem persists. I searched with Google about this problem and have not been able to find something useful.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi dude

  How did you produce the video signal?
  Did you choose Office expanded or all simply the option external monitor by using the FN + F5?

  I think that you need to press once more the Fn + F5 and should switch to a view, internal laptop display.

  Please check if this could help you!

• Need driver more recent card ATI Radeon 3650 - Satellite Pro A300-1NT

  Hi all

  I'm looking for the latest drivers for ATI Radeon HD 3650 onboard Satellite Pro A300-1NT.
  During the game, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen game (2009) by Beenox Inc.... I get squares pixelated on the screen (instead of dust) and possibly a blue screen.

  I use Windows XP Pro

  * Support game * suggests upgrading driver for a newer version.

  I ask then is there latest drivers for Windows XP

  Hello

  I think you have already answered that question yourself...

  As you wrote that you can get all the drivers on the Toshiba site and if it isn t a newer driver available you can nothing more I think. Satellite A300 isn t a laptop of game performance so I think that the display drivers are not so important.

  The only way to obtain a more recent version, it's looking on external Web sites. Maybe you can get the desktop pilot working had some changes I put t know but really attention! Other drivers don't have protection against overheating and you could destroy the graphics chip. Be very careful of what you do.

  Alternatively, you can search on the Toshiba site for other models of laptops with ATI card too. Maybe, you can get a newer version

• Satellite Pro A300 - for Windows 7 power management strategy

  Hi all

  I have the following on my Satellite Pro A300 problem:

  My laptop fan works continuously, which means almost always turn. I cleaned the entire cooling with compressed air, so it is not clean, no problem with that. The reason is that in browsers when Adobe Flash Player runs, it loads the CPU and the GPU, so that the fan trying to cool the system.

  Now I ask you, is there any solution to fix this? I mean even to reduce the GPU clock speed when I do not use the graphics intensive applications.

  I use Google Chrome as default browser and the Windows 7 OS 32 bit.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  If an application load the CPU and the GPU it s normal behavior that the fan rotates and probably on top level so it s high usage. So don t you worry because everything is normal. The fan protects the equipment from overheating.

  What you can do is updated Google Chrome and Flash Player. Also try to use the most recent version, they also contain security updates.

  Last but not least, you can change the cooling method in the power management Windows (change the power plan settings). If you have installed Toshiba Value added Package, you can choose between optimized battery and a maximum Performance. Select optimized battery and fan activity will be less.

• No driver chipset Intel 6.14.10.5029 for Satellite Pro A300 PSAG1E?

  Can someone tell me why the latest drivers intel for this chipset are out for all other versions of the A300, but not this one...
  I need to install these drivers to fully activate Hardware t & so that I can play a number of games previously unsupported, but cannot install direct from Intel because they tell me that they are not certified for my laptop... also make widespread drivers available on the download page of the A300 series tell me that my system does not meet their requirements.

  Why not have Toshiba get out these drivers for this model and are there plans to release them soon? If not, is there a way I can force an installation and if I could it would be worthwhile I guess that there are compatibility issues...

  It would appreciate any help that I spent money on games that are in the compatible list Intel for their latest driver, but cannot play that Toshiba did not or varified pilots, it's aggrevating to say the least.

  Hello

  The PSAG1E is a Satellite Pro A300 model and I checked the Web from Toshiba site for display drivers on all versions of Satellite Pro A300 and I can't agree with you!

  For the Satellite Pro A300 with Intel graphics card I can find three different versions of graphic driver for XP:
  6.14.10.4953
  6.14.10.4833
  6.14.10.4096

  So please tell me where you found the 6.14.10.5029 version? I can t see the site of Toshiba for Satellite Pro A300.

  So if you want the driver you can download it from the Intel site. All that s!

• 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.

• New HARD drive installed Vista 32 bit, but need drivers for Satellite Pro A300-1MC

  "Because my recovery disks that I made 3 years ago does not, I just installed Vista 32 bit and then on the Toshiba site, where I have downloaded all the drivers available for my laptop (a Satellite Pro A300-1MC) on a USB key (that I don't have a driver to connect to broadband on my laptop) and when I tried to open on my laptop a message comes up saying" Please insert the last disk of all selfextracting and click OK to continue. "

  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?
