Satellite Pro A300D - a strange Bay for something

Hi all

I recently bought an A300D. Then I went down to the study, naturally unscrewing all the panels on the underside of the laptop.
I managed to find where the memory/Wi-Fi, and also another sign that contains the hard disk is mounted.

However, the strange thing is that it is another compartment with nothing in it, with the exception of a strange connector.
The connector doesn't seem to be for a drive hard (although there would be a sufficient margin) because it is not IDE or SATA.

I checked the user manual and the Sub panel diagram doesn't seem to indicate that it is. In fact, any sign is indicated with an explanation, except this one.

Any ideas?

See you soon,.

As far as I know on the lower side there are three covers. For RAM/WLAN, one for the HARD drive and the last is empty. Some Satellite A laptops come with two hard drives and laptops with a HARD drive, this place is empty.

Unfortunately, A300D unknown to me but it is easy to recognize if the available connector is the same as for the other HARD drive. Have you checked?

To be honest, I'm afraid, there is no connector at all and this laptop is not being upgraded with the second HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro A300D - driver for multimedia audio controller

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite pro A300D and someday the built in mic, built into the camera and the speakers stopped working.

    When I checked the Device Manager, I saw that the driver for the multimedia controller wasn't working so I uninstalled and went on the toshiba site for the installation of the new driver.
    When I watched the drivers to my computer, they have everything except this driver!

    Is there anyone who knows were I can find it?
    I use the computer to work with the music and I'll record some people soon and I really need to work!

    Best regards

    Hermann

    Hi Hemmi,

    Interesting to know is which operating system you have.
    Can you post this information?

    Generally, all the drivers are placed on the Toshiba driver download page. There is an audio driver for normal output audio (speakers) and the webcam software. The latter you must also for micro because it s a part of webcam.

  • Satellite Pro A300D - what is the model number for the keyboard?

    My husband managed to dislodge a key on my keyboard CAP and broke the clip white scissors that holds up on... (don't ask me how)

    He spoke of the authorized service center here in Norway and they sent us replacement scissors tongs (actually they sent an old non-functional keyboard), but the clips are of a different design to those on my laptop.

    I was wondering if anyone has an idea of the model/serial number of the keyboard used in the Satellite Pro A300D-151 (PSAK9E) so I can get the correct replacement part.

    I really don't want to have to replace the entire keyboard when it's just 1 scissor clips which is broken... the laptop is only 5 months old.

    Here are some pictures of the scissors clamp in question and where it attaches to the keyboard (sorry for quality)

    Thank you

    notsure

    Hello

    Boyfriend sorry but it is not possible to exchange a few individual keys on a keyboard, so in this case, you must replace the full keyboard. But normally, it shouldn't be so difficult.
    Either you exchange the keyboard yourself or you sent the laptop to the authorized service provider.

    The model number for the keyboard is not known to me but contact your ASP! They can order all the parts of Toshiba and they should know the right part number.

    Good bye

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300D - firmware for the DVD player?

    Hello

    I recently got a nice new Satellite Pro A300D of my work and was just my typical thing to go through the update of their efforts. However, when you try to update the firmware of the DVD drive for my particular model (PSAK9E-00C003EN), I realized that the firmware he suggested was wrong. After watching on my pc, I discovered that my drive is Pioneer DVD - RW DVRTD08A (1.50), but I can't find information anywhere on the net about the updates of the firmware (or the existence of this drive at all!). Could someone point me in the direction of some information and firmware more recent if it exists?

    Thanks for any info that someone has!

    Willybob

    Satellite Pro A300D was equipped of various CD/DVD players.
    On the Toshiba driver page, you can find an update of the firmware that came out for a CD/DVD drive that was not installed in your laptop and so you can not install this update.

    If you are unable to find an update of the firmware of your CD/DVD drive, then an update doesn't exist and is not necessary!

  • Satellite Pro A300D down hot and stops shortly after. Help!

    Hello together,

    3 weeks ago, I bought the Satellite Pro A300D laptop. Since the beginning, I have the problem that the laptop gets hot and stops less than an hour!

    I'm not running any application of high performance and I keep the left side of the free laptop so that the hot air can get away! I already cleaned the heatpipe using a vacuum cleaner.
    It could not be! I need the laptop for work and that it is impossible...
    What can I do? Should I send him?
    Help, I'm grateful

    There could still be dust stuck in the radiator, but you say that its only 3 weeks to dust is unlikely.

    Its under warranty, so take it to a Service Center for repair. This may have the thermal grease refreshed or something.

  • Satellite Pro A300D - how to get Vista drivers

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300D laptop a few days ago.
    The first task was to wipe Vista Home Premium there and put professional Vista I needed to connect to a domain.

    I did this and then install the drivers from the Toshiba driver download pages.
    There were a lot of riders who have failed, but I managed to fix most of the problems aside when I display the laptop to a projector, I can start cutting the bottom of the external display only.

    In any case, I am now led to believe that there is recovery of HARD drive on the disk that could give me the right drivers that they have been installed at the arrival of the laptop.
    How can I get these out of the system on a disk for example so that I can resinstall?

    Thanks for your time.

    Hello

    > Anyway, I am now led to believe that there is recovery of HARD drive on the disk that could give me the right drivers that they have been installed at the arrival of the laptop. How can I get these out of the system on a disk for example so that I can reinstall?

    I think that this is not possible because the recovery of HARD drive contains only unique image files and you will not be able to get only the unique drivers of the recovery image.

    HARD drive recovery can be used to perform a new installation of operating system from the HARD disk (without using the disc).

    The European driver Toshiba page usually contains all drivers Vista compatible and necessary for your laptop model. So I doubt that your problem with the projector might have something to do with the Vista drivers.

  • Satellite Pro A300D - missing Dolby Sound Room under WXP

    Hello

    I need help.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300D - 161 and it had Windows Vista but he crashed and installed Windows XP Professional.
    The problem is that when I got Vista sound was with Dolby Sound Room and it sounded very good.

    But now, it's offal as an old PC... maby you know a kind of drivers that can help to increase the sound of my laptop?

    I assume that you have the correct driver installed and also requires that you install official Toshiba support page.
    You must understand that this laptop is designed for Vista and better performance in any aspect that you'll probably Vista. This laptop model is also supported for WXP but of course the drivers and utilities and additional tools do not offer in so many different settings as a software designed for Vista.
    Have you tried to change the sound quality using equalizer in players you use?

    I have the Satellite A300 - 1LI running WXP and the sound is OK. The key is that the sound is strong. ;)

  • Satellite Pro A300D-140 - graphic question

    Hi all

    I wonder if someone can help me. I'm having a lot of problems with my new laptop at the moment, and I'm now about to re - format and reinstall Windows.
    The question is this: when you browse the Web site with pictures or embedded videos, display struggles to scroll to the bottom and is very 'jerky' and slow. This happens in two & Firefox Internet Explorer.
    Its not just web browsers that have the problem, Word, Excel etc. all I have this problem. I produce a lot of documents and sometimes necessary, scroll through them - and performance when you scroll is a joke!

    I contacted ATI and they have washed their hands of this issue and refuse to do something.
    I tried the latest drivers, the drivers supplied with the laptop, restored to the latest drivers, made an update of the BIOS, chipset update firmware, update driver processor etc... and nothing has worked! Have really no idea on how to move forward from this.

    Any ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated - or if someone needs additional information, I'll check this thread.

    I am running Windows XP Pro SP3

    Thank you
    Dan Smith

    I don't know if my advice can help, but you have the problem with the operating system preinstalled Toshiba?

    You tried the latest drivers from Toshiba Web site or other sites?

    As far as I know that the Satellite Pro A300D has Vista as an operating system. If you need to reinstall the operating system from the Toshiba recovery disc. There are all pilots understand.

  • Satellite Pro A300D - where can I get driver ceiling microphone?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300D. I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista, but lost my Toshiba built in software while doing so. I can access my webcam via applications such as Skype, but my microphone no longer works.

    Where can I find the driver for the webcam/microphone software that I had before the upgrade?

    Hi PyroTails,

    The built-in mic is part of the webcam, which means that you need to download the driver for the webcam that you can get here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    After installation, it should be possible to use the internal mic. :)

  • Satellite Pro A300D - black & white photo via S-video

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A300D. After months of work perfectly, it now gives me a black & white image on my screen extended through my S Video Jack, although my laptop screen is in color.

    I checked all the wires and they are fine. Did I miss something?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I had the same problem on my laptop satellite. I connected the laptop to my TV using an S-video cable and the image was just black & white.

    After reading here in the forum, I founded that I should try another cable. So I went to my local computer store and bought a high quality cable. I plugged the laptop once again on TV and everything was fine! :)

    And don t forget you check the settings of the TV in the display driver. If you have an NTSC TV, you will need to use this mode, otherwise the PAL mode.

  • Windows 7 gel - Satellite Pro A300D

    Hello

    I have recently upgraded to windows 7 on my satellite pro A300D. Everything works well except one problem. When I restart my computer after running the empty battery, the system retrieves and then shortly after that recovery of the screen freezes and I am unable to do anything else to turn again. The computer then works fine, but obviously this is not something that I want to do whenever my battery runs out.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated
