• 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 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 (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.

  On the Toshiba driver European page you will always find the number pilot s versions and you can compare it with the s version of the driver installed on your laptop.

  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

• Satellite Pro A300 - touchpad failed after BIOS update

  After that good BIOS update 2.00 to 2.10 / suggest by ALERT TEMPRO - http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20091125132031.zip/ the touchpad of my Satellite Pro A300 - GR 1 stopped working.
  He appears under the name hidden in Device Manager. The State of the device - "this device is not present, is not working properly or is not all its drivers installed." (Code 24) "reinstall the driver has no effect of course. I can also access the BIOS utility when you start pressing F2.
  Running Vista Business 32-bit Edition.
  Ideas to solve the problem will be highly appreciated!

  Hello

  Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.
  And you cannot access the BIOS if you shut down the computer.

  You can use an external mouse on the laptop? Please check this too.

  I've also updated the BIOS on my Satellite A300 but I n t have a problem with the touchpad after the update.

• Satellite Pro A300-1DZ cannot find HDD after BIOS update

  Hello world

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ flea market.
  Put a new copy of Windows xp family.
  I then install all the drivers necessary own site of Toshiba and the end of it, I thought that it is perhaps a good idea to update the bios?

  OH DEAR what a big mistake.

  Now the netbook won't start windows.
  So I thought it's ok, I'll just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but he tells me that it cannot find a hard drive on my netbook?

  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm going crazy,
  Could someone tell me please how to fix this? Thanks x

  Hello

  I think the value of the option SATA AHCI and hence Windows XP mode cannot find the HARD drive.
  It's because of the SATA controller.
  You can set the SATA AHCI compatible mode mode mode and this will allow you to install Win XP on the laptop without the use of SATA drivers.

  So, you have two options if you want to install Win XP:

  -> AHCI mode, but you must include the SATA drivers
  Compatible mode-> Win XP installation possible without SATA drivers

• Satellite Pro A300-15 t does not restart on the current after BIOS update

  Hello

  There is something wrong with my Satellite Pro A300-15 t. I made an update of the BIOS of toshiba recently with the latest Web site and it installed successfully. But after the installation, I noticed that my laptop does not restart when it is connected to the power adapter. It restarts and works perfectly when its power on the battery.

  After restart or start-up the laptop (on battery), it will be well when the adapter is connected.

  But, when I reboot when the adapter is connected, after his stop, just power light turns on for a second or two and gets off automatically. And not even the laptop starts manually by pressing the power button (LCD is turned off when the power light comes on for 2 seconds) when the adapter remains connected.

  So what I do is to pull the plug on the adapter, then start the computer manually by pressing the power button and reconnect the plug of the adapter to the laptop starts. It works well this way. Rest everything works perfectly.

  And this problem started after the update of the BIOS. Now, I don't know how to remedy the situation I don't know if there was a bug in the last update of the bios.

  Details of the update from: http://gulf.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=AE

• Satellite Pro A300-257 while flashing the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a dilemma. I recently installed windows 7 on my laptop of girlfriends who is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-257, everything went well until I tried to update the Bios. I followed all instructions on the toshiba site had to put the model number in to get good bios double checked and triple checked before running the program, but when I ran the system crashed to halfway through the closed system update and now it wont even boot lights are on cd player is ROAR a few stays on black screen.

  I read many forums and it seems im not the only one with this problem.
  I just got the phone to toshiba and they say im not covered because I does not you can call and go through it with them on the phone, even if at no time did he tell me to do that I followed the instructions of there Web site.
  I also confirmed with them that I used the correct bios but they say that they are unable to prove that and I can put in the wrong information that I did not.

  In my view, there is a program that will allow me to boot from the cd so I don't have to go out and buy a reader external floppy to Flash the bios, I think that his winflash. Unfortunately, all I can find is the executable program on there website which im guessing will not start work.
  Anyone know where I can find the prog to update the bios and the bios file so I can create a cd bootable to Flash the bios.

  Any help will be appreciated with gratitude

  Thank you very much

  Hi mate

  I m afraid there is no alternative to reflash the BIOS to the traditional version of BIOS who can start the BIOS updated using an external USB drive and the floppy disk.

  The European driver Toshiba page contains only the BIOS Win-based that can be updated when the windows operating system. The traditional BIOS is not available for download. Only authorized service partners have access to this version of BIOS and that's why I don t see any alternative as to get in touch with the guys and to ask for help.

• Satellite Pro A300-28V - cannot create own recovery disks

  Have a portable Satellite Pro A300-28V with Vista Business 32. After a HARD disk recovery partition recovery, I decided to use the PC function full system backup to make a picture for later retrieval with all my current settings. Too inconvenient for factory reset default (Thunderbird 3.0 Mail, Open Office and some other small applications already running no problem for years on another computer in the office).

  The system needs 5 to 9 DVD and he wrote the first DVD. Takes about 30 minutes. Then, during the audit of this disc, it crashes. Audit bar stops at about 30% complete.
  Anyone with this experience? No, the company "Complete PC Image" works well on an OEM of Vista installation?
  Or maybe it's the DVD player in need of an update? I do not use a 3rd party burning software.

  / Sweden

  Hello

  What program you use to create your own recovery discs? For example, I mean Acronis, Norton Ghost, etc..

  In your case I would try with another program like Nero or CD Burner XP burning.
  In addition, you can try to remove upper and lower filters in the Windows registry, maybe that will work.

  Finally, and especially on the Toshiba site, you can check if there is an update to the firmware of your CD/DVD drive.
