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?

  • 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 A300-1E7 - 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 PSAGDA: webcam on Win 7 installation problems

    Hi guys,.

    its been a few weeks since the installation of Windows 7, only for the past few days have I took the trouble to install the toshiba software (don't stone me!).

    At the moment I was scratching my head when you install webcam drivers. When the installation is completed and after a reset, all he says is Webcam failed to initialize, please restart cam or computer.

    Hello

    I installed THIS version of the driver for the webcam on my Win7 preinstalled Satellite A300 and it works perfectly.

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE Touch pad and fingerprints fingerprint sensor problem

    I have been runing Windows Vista on my Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE. Because my original Windows Vista key has been blocked I did a system recovery CD Toshiba vith XP. Everything work fine except the fingerprint sensor and the touchpad. Manager access suite said he couldn't connect with equipped and the driver touch pad in the taskbar icon shows but it seems to be inactive. The touchpad does not work even though I have pres FN + F9.

    What should I do to save this problem.

    Sory for my bad English, I just form Slovenia, I hope you understand.

    Somehow the material is not properly recognized.
    It will be interesting to see if the fingerprint sensor and touchpad may work with Vista preinstalled originally.
    I think that Alex is right. Contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They should check the functionality of the hardware.

  • 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 A300-28R: 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 A300-1E7 - cannot start the cam software

    I bought the Satellite Pro A300-1E7.
    Webcam does not work in MSN messenger video call.
    Will have problems similar to the previous posting, except that I use Zonealarm.

    I think that Zonealarm has disputed cec_main.exe in a similar way.
    I tried to follow the instructions here, but without much success.
    I removed the Camera Assistant SOftware and re-installed the driver but does not seem to have improved things.
    Now c:\program files\ software of camera for Toshiba assistant has completely disappeared and the Panel camera assistant no longer appears on the side of the desktop.

    Any ideas please?

    Hello

    I used the Zonealarm happened and I was not really satisfied, because this software locked everything and most of the applications didn't work properly even after the new configuration! Finally, I removed this software and I noticed more advantage. my laptop starts much faster!
    I think this software would lock the cam software too.

    > Now c:\program files\ software of camera for Toshiba assistant has completely disappeared and the Panel camera assistant no longer appears on the side of the desktop.
    This means that the software has been removed and is not installed correctly.
    But to be sure, check in Control Panel-> Software (Add & Remove Programs) if the webcam is installed.

    I have the internal cam of Chicony too and it s works well as part of the software Skype. I didn't test t MSN but I don t see serious reasons why it shouldn't t work.

    In my view, you must first remove the zonealarm. Then clean the OS using CCleaner. Finally, redownload the webcam software and reinstall it!

    The toolbar of the webcam is not always visible on the desktop.
    It seems that if you move it the mouse cursor to the place where the webcam tool bar was hidden.

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA won't start at all after flash Bios 1.90

    I have an A300 PSAGDA-01Y00R.

    I tried to Flash the bios to version 1.90. He started the process, and when I came back an hour later the cell phone was off.

    When you turn it on, it has nothing now. I tried removing the battery and running on sector only.
    Works for keyboard (as in light) and power works, but there is absolutely no action on the screen.

    Is there anything I can try?

    Hello

    Try this;
    Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter and wait 1 hour.
    Then connect both devices and try to turn on the unit.

    If this will not help, then you will need to contact a local ASP.
    It seems that something was wrong during the BIOS update process and therefore, the laptop can not initialize correctly.

    Hello

    If a compatible SATA mode then your HARD drive will always slow down the performance of the laptop!

    You need the right SATA drivers. You can find the right SATA files in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, which can be downloaded from the Intel page.
    Notes; There are different packages that supports different chipsets.

    After the right SATA driver was selected, you can use the freeware software called nLite to build a new XP CD and include SATA files.

    Any ideas where I can find the correct one (Vista Biz operating system)?

    As far as I know the laptop must be equipped with internal Intel WLan card.
    So usually the Intel WLan driver downloaded from the Toshiba WLan portal should help you.
