• Satellite Pro A300-28V - black screen boot failure

  My three days old Satellite Pro A300 began yesterday to hang at startup in Vista. I rebooted twice with good result, but now I see only the home Toshiba screen, then it goes black with a cursor top left. I won't answer on /F12/ F8 F2 or the recovery of the DVD. Indicator LED disc is black, fan-only sound. I have connected not no matter what external monitor ever on this one.

  At the moment so it's Sunday I chose the battery and will try again in an hour or two, otherwise I contact seller tomorrow. Any ideas what's happening? BIOS crash, hard drive (after three days)?

  Hello

  You have installed Win 7 but you didn t install some tools that controls the FN keys!

  You need to install the support card Flash Utility and added value package!
  You can find that both page European driver Toshiba Satellite L500 download area!

  PS: I think you should also check the BIOS settings. Some BIOS contains an option to toggle the wifi.

  In addition, go to-> properties Device Manager card Wlan-> Advanced tab

• Satellite Pro A200-1MA: blue screen STOP: 0x000000D1 Error

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite Pro A200-1MA and Vista 32 bit. My problem is: when I work on my internet laptop notebook and use blue screen shows:

  http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00238yh0.jpg and resets.

  Sometimes not regularly, but often enough [sometimes 1 by day, other times 3 per day].
  It becomes quite boring, I can't work on a laptop without fear, I have nevery secondly it may restart and I will lose any unsaved work.

  Thanks for help.

  Hello

  Do you use the preinstalled Toshiba image?
  I ask because sometimes the BSOD can be caused by serious software problem. But to be honest, it looks like a hardware malfunction.
  In my view, the RAM modules could be affected

  I have a 6 year old using my laptop BSOD the BSOD appeared after several hours of use one I thought that it s a faulty RAM I replaced it, but the issue was not resolved finally I discovered that the temperature affected modules of RAM alone and the laptop froze and BSOD appeared
  Finally, I checked the grids of cooling and cleaned using compressed air jet that it helped

  But buddy note; This does not mean that your problem can be caused by high temperature. It s only a hypothesis, and in my opinion, a technician of the laptop should check the laptop to ensure that's exactly wrong.

  Good luck

• I can't open Firefox on my Satellite Pro A300

  Satellite Pro A300 - Windows XP - I downloaded Firefox, but when I click to open it I get the icon of the hourglass for a while but eventualy it disappears and nothing happens. I use IExplorer without any problem, but I want to use Firefox as my preferred browser.

  Can anyone suggest a solution please?

  Hello

  > I downloaded Firefox, but when I click to open it I get the icon of the hourglass for a while but eventualy it disappears and nothing happens.
  This means t t, you can launch the installation of Firefox or open Firefox as Internet Explorer?

  As writes Timox I think you should contact the Mozilla Firefox support. Who knows why the program doesn't start

  By the way, and what you can try:
  Download and install Firefox once again, it is perhaps only a corrupt file s and make sure that no firewall and AntiVirus is blocking the installation.

  Good luck! :)

• 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 - 1 H 2 - Windows does not recognize the HARD drive

  Hello

  I'm a newbie, which has probably asked bin before so if You ' l excuse me, I have a satellite pro A300 - 1 h 2.

  I got the volume of unmountable boot blue screen, then tried to adapt to a new samsung drive. I put in my windows disc it will load all the drivers, then says that there is no hard drive?
  In the bios, it recognizes it?

  Thanks if anyone can help

  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.

• Need help with the installation of Windows XP Home on my Satellite Pro A300-1DZ

  Hi all.

  I have a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ system unit, model no PSAG1E-OOFOO4EN (think they are 'o' and not '0', circle with slash through it) with WXP Pro.

  I recently contracted a virus inside and as he removed, however it is not good so I want to re - install Windows XP Home edition. I backed up the computer, I have a Windows XP Home SP2 Pro edition disk and I have my product key.
  I put the CD/DVD in BIOS to run 1 drive and tells me that I can boot from the CD, I press a button and it loads the CD, select the option where to install windows.

  BUT! I can t go further than what windows does not detect the HD said he s not now, or whatever.

  My question is this: Please can someone me step by step instructions on how to reinstall XP and a link to all the drivers I need to make it work?

  PLEEASE!

  It's simple on my PC, also, please keep in mind, I am best suited for working on cars, I'm not stupid, but my calloused hands search for computers a little more difficult than Motors please not in many computer technical terms.
  I myself am the slow education in the dark arts of computers. LOL :)

  PS. the laptop has a Vista Basic sticker on it, but it is certainly the XP pro operating system. :)

  Hi jeff

  Here's your solution:
  1. go to bios with F2 when you see the toshiba start screen.
  2. Select the arrow to the left using the "Advanced".
  3 press down until you get to "SATA Controller Mode".
  4 change, using F7/F8, Chang [AHCI] setting [compatibility].
  5. make sure the CD/DVD drive is the first to start and F10 save and exit. computer restart when you are prompted to "press any key" press a button and hey presto as before windows will start the installation, but this time you won't get windows you said:

  Set up did not find Ant hard disks installed on your computer.

  Make sure any drive HARD are powered on and properly connected to your computer and any hard disk related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or Setup program.

  implementation cannot continue press f3 to goto hell... uh I mean leaving the installation

  And you can continue on your installation of Windows XP Home edition.

  Hope I helped many other jeff's in the same boat. XD

• 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?

  Simon

  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 - no sound in Windows logo at startup

  * Satellite Pro A300-15 t model series No. 58256558W, Réf. PSAJ1E-00F00YAR *.

  The sound has suddenly stopped from the Windows Vista EMBLEM or LOGO when booting and before the logon screen comes.
  This problem started in the last 5 days. Before everything was OK.

  I did not do anything in the sound settings, and they are the default selections only.

  Hello

  Maybe you should check if the Windows Vista startup sound is not disabled.

  I found a cool site that shows you how to check it:

• Satellite Pro A300 1NT - Possible to upgrade to Windows 7?

  Hello.

  I intend to buy the Satellite Pro A300 1NT, but want to make sure that I can not upgrade to Windows 7 and more specifically the characteristics of touch screen.

  Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

  Hello!

  I think that no one can say whether the Satellite A300 compatible with Windows 7.
  Windows 7 is not on the market yet, and I think it will take a few times to release.

  And Satellite A300 doesn't have a touch screen, so I think that you cannot use these features on this laptop.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 "Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD" upgrade

  We have a Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 (bought on 23-11-09) that came with Vista Business 32-bit installed, but has been downgraded (using the provided diskette) to Windows XP due to the demands of corporate network.

  When Windows 7 became available, I bought the DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 Toshiba provided so that if the company decided to upgrade to the new operating system, we could do it on this laptop.

  That's what I tried recently to discover that we can't do as the DVD is for Win Vista upgrade Windows 7 Pro. What is the best way to upgrade without having to buy another drive to upgrade. I have a set of recovery disks for an another Toshiba SatellitePro A300 - 2 4 which was bought about 2 months before this one. These were created using the Toshiba recovery software before any changes have been made on the laprop. Would I be able to restore the system to its state of Windows Vista using these disks and then use the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD to make the upgarde?

  Suggestions or recommendations would be greatly received.

  This upgrade package offered by Toshiba is upgraded from Vista to Win7. So if you want to use it, you must install Vista recovery image at first.

  After that, you can upgrade pre-installed Vista to Win7 following the Toshiba s implementation instructions.
  I did the same thing my Qosmio X 300.

  If you cannot use created recovery disc either s order Toshiba Vista recovery disk or (perhaps the best solution) install the clean version of Win7. A300 is fully supported for Win7 and you can download all the necessary drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.

• Satellite Pro A300: No volume indicator displays on the screen

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A300 with a volume knob. When you change the volume to use, it works (even if this does not work as the starting system which is really annoying, especially when you turn it on every day in a library) However there are usually no witnesses screen to show at what level the volume is at. Once, I saw a display flag which seemed to be apart Toshiba Hot Key Utility but it disappeared again after a reboot.

  It is really impossible to do not be able to see at what level the volume is such that you change. Can someone help me out here? Brands goes for anyone who can help me unravel so volume level start!

  Hi CiRi,

  try to use the "Fn + esc" key to cut your system...
  He will remain silent even for restart the computer...

  If none of the keys have a special feature of "Fn" reinstall the 'value added package' and 'hotkeys' of the toshiba download page.
