• Satellite Pro A300 / PSAJ1E - 01000XEN won't turn on

  I have a new laptop, Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 / PSAJ1E - 01000XEN.

  After I opened the box and put it on my desk, I connect to the AC adapter and after that I tried to turn on the laptop but there is no response.

  I removed the battery and pressed the button (to remove the static). I then plugged in the power adapter and properly turned on the laptop (with no battery).
  If I stop the machine, the laptop won't turn on with the battery and the AC adapter. I have to remove the battery so that the laptop turn on.

  I think the problem is the battery or maybe the BIOS... I await your comments on this topic...

  Maybe you could get a new one?

  Hello

  In general the BSOD is a product of hardware or software problem.
  So it's not easy to say exactly what's wrong.

  Display only the questions;
  Have you tried a fresh install of the OS?
  You update all drivers (especially the graphics card driver)?
  Your BIOS is up to date?
  Have you noticed a higher internal temperature?
  The cooling modules are free of dust?

  Please check first!

• 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! :)

• 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 - 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.

• Satellite Pro A300 - I get the 'Windows search' if I left click on any folder

  I just bought a Satellite Pro A300 and it downgraded to Windows XP SP3.

  When I click the icon of any folder on my hard drive I got the "Windows Search" window instead of the folder. When I right click on any folder icon, the first item on the menu (in bold) is "search".

  How can I change the order of these items in menu so as 'Open' is the first element?

  Delete (Control Panel Add / Remove Programs) the installation of Windows Search without affecting any software I have loaded?

  Looking for Windows installation installed the likely cause of my problem?

  Thank you

  Murray

  Just solved my problem:

  1. the order of the items in the context menu of files can be changed by updating actions for file types specified in the Folder Options Menu. Select Folder Options + of + the + Tools + menu of any folder, select + File Types + and scroll to the bottom for * file *. Click on * advanced * then * New * and add * open * with * Explorer * as the program to use. Click on * OK * and * Close * and bingo! Appears in the order of the menu shortcut in XP is open before you search, but in XP Pro followed research of Open / Explore.

  2. the utility Windows search can be deleted without problem despite the warning launched - Microsoft Web site indicates the warning is simply a generic warning and it is highly unlikely that removal will affect all software installed since the loading search utility.

  3. the Windows Search utility is NOT the cause of this problem.

  Trust that the other could save hours of research that I had to do to find this solution...

• 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.

• 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.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - recovery disk will reinstall Windows OS on the new HARD drive

  Hard drive of my Satellite Pro A300 failed. It has now been replaced. I ordered a recovery disk.
  This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?

  Also, I get this message "BOOTMGR MISSING". The recovery disc will fix this problem too?
  Thanks in advance!

  > I ordered a recovery disk. This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?
  Yes. Without a doubt.

  New HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?
  If so avoid any problem.

  Moreover, A300 works perfectly and much better with Win7 32 bit.

• Satellite Pro A300-2CW - necessary with Windows XP recovery disc

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 2CW. I bought it with the software Windows XP (included in a CD), which worked perfectly for years. I reinstalled several times this year, but now the CD has deteriorated and it no longer works.

  The machine was originally WIndows Vista installed with the option to create DVD recovery and a recovery of HARD drive option, but I think that it is not possible for Windows XP.

  Do I have any options? Where could I buy the original Windows XP CD?

  Thank you

• 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!

• 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
