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

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 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.

    Hello

    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.

  • 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

  • Satellite Pro A300 (PSAG9E) - after updating BIOS Windows will not start

    Restart went well after update BIOS and Windows XP logo appears loads for a few seconds then a beep and restart - last good known or start Windows normally same effect.
    Reboot back to start - this is a new laptop - using the BIOS of Toshiba s official download site.

    Quite annoyed to try to find a way to upgrade or downgrade the BIOS.
    Took battery and RAM to see if I can delete it?

    Any ideas anyone?

    I think you mean BIOS * update * and do not upgrade ;)
    An upgrade is not possible

    However, you can try to remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour. After that, reconnect the battery and the AC adapter and try to start Windows.
    Moreover I would load the default settings in the BIOS before starting Windows.

    If it doesn't work, it seems that your ROM module needs to be reflashed. In this case an ASP can help you.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - should it BIOS for Intel virtualization technology?

    Hi all.

    Any Satellite Pro A300 has BIOS option to enable or disable the Intel virtualization technology?
    It is mentioned on this page: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/easyguard2008/EN/manageability.aspx

    I have A300-01:00 (regular Satellite, not Pro), but its T5850 has not VT is supported, so there is no option in the BIOS. Wonder what is the difference between Satellite and Satellite Pro BIOS and can I try to use Satellite Pro A300 BIOS for my A300-01:00. Of course, I'm afraid I can't :(

    Thank you, Andy

    Hello Andy

    As far as I know the BIOS is not a universal startup program and is suitable for specific hardware architecture. Because of this Toshiba doesn t offer a BIOS for several models of laptops.

    If your laptop doesn't have virtualization option then there is nothing to do. Updating the BIOS will not help any.

  • Satellite Pro A300-1 system restore has 8 Vista works not

    I wanted to use the system restore because of the attempt to reconfigure the administrator rights, its somehow deleted all my shortcuts on my menu and messed with a few things.

    However, when I try to use the system restore (I tried to use it in safemode, via cmd promp, bunch together and normal), but all seem to keep hanging in the same green page where you can read something in the sense of "system is initializing restore etc" (spend 45 minutes on this page until I get fed up and shut down the computer). I tried to use different restore points the same thing happens. He loves his work not at all.

    Can anyone help with this please?

    My laptop is a Satellite Pro A300-1 to 8.

    Hello

    You mean the Vista tool, which is located in (Start button-> all programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore) does not work and you cannot set back the Vista until the early time?

    Well, usually there's not much to do to restore the operating system to start time the point you have to play the System Restore tool and choose the restore point. Then everything should run automatically.
    If this doesn t work while something is messed up as you said in your ad above somehow deleted all your shortcuts in my menu and messed with a few things possibly operating system was messed in.

    Try to clean the operating system by using the freeware CCLeaner for example. I also use it. It s great. Repair and clean the operating system and check if it is possible to use the system again restore tool.

  • 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!

    Monsteress

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.
