• Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) standby & hibernation fails after updating BIOS

  Hello

  I wonder if it is common that after the upgrade of the Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) of the BIOS 2.50 at BIOS 3, 70 - Win or 3, 90 - Win, do sleep modes and Hibernate the * completely locked laptop computer? *

  After the upgrade, when I try to enter sleep or hibernation, the laptop turns off the LCD and gets locked so it isn't help to press and hold the power button, open/close the cover, press Fn - F3 or F4 - Fn, the only way is to disconnect the power supply and wait until the battery runs down, or simply be very rough and * disconnect the battery *.

  While the Pro U300 is locked, I hear that HARD drive and fans are also swivel - as soon they were when entering standby or hibernation mode. Very ugly behavior - you can FRY your laptop with something like that. I thought that BIOS 3.70 was faulty but unfortunatelly version 3.90 also worthless.

  Furthermore, I can't yet understand why large (70% of the zip file) file of the package to upgrade the BIOS (3.70 and 3.90)... is the portable other flashers log file?

  Your ad, I understand that the screen does not wake up after its entry in the standby or hibernation mode.
  Am I wrong?

  I noticed that Toshiba has released a new version of the Intel graphics driver.
  At this time the update is 02/20/08 and the version is 6.14.10.4831.

  Maybe you should try to update the display driver too check to see if it would help to get rid of this annoying display problem

  I recommend to remove the old version of the graphics driver first, then install the new downloaded driver.

  Mate good luck

• Satellite Pro 4320: cannot use PCMCIA card after update BIOS 2.70

  Hello!

  I'm using the Toshiba Satellite Pro 4320 (SP 4320). With the very old BIOS (first) version 1.0, the system has worked well on LINUX (Ubuntu) and Windows XP. So I found the update of the BIOS (latest version on the toshiba Web site). I did update the BIOS version 1.0 BIOS version 2.7.

  Now, I can't use any PCMCIA card.
  Everything works fine, but I can't use two PCMCIA slots.
  The cards will be recognized, but the system says that there is a resource conflict.
  (WLAN/WiFi adapter) PCMCIA cards worked very well with the old BIOS version 1.0, but now it does not work.

  Windows XP says: 'conflict resource' and Ubuntu/Linux said after typing dmesg: "pccard gives wrong answer, for example."

  Please, help me!

  Someone got an older version of BIOS?
  My idea is to 'downgrade' the BIOS BIOS version 1.0 or version 1.x.

  I have to downgrade the BIOS to at least 2. 6.

  Bye,.
  Martin

  Have you tried installing WXP again using Toshiba Recovery CD?
  I mean it's so old model of laptop and I can't imagine that Toshiba will offer this update of the BIOS so long if there is a serious problem with it.

• 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.

• Satellite Pro A300D - 161 Video Card overclock

  Mobile this series is M - ATI HD 3650. ATI Tray Tools shows me XP
  BIOS GPU/MEM 600/500 and the current is respectivetly 297/247, 5.
  And no possibility to overclock to new values. Guys, WTF? Two times less?
  I can't even run GTA4 on medium settings as I promised before. I know this problem no drivers from ATI, but in the Toshiba power management.
  And... all of the drivers are the latest version (I just offtopically wonder why 8.479 pilot display only is not supported unlike Vista one). But even in 'Full power' mode of * Toshiba Power Saver * is not working.

  P.S. Is the full version: series Satellite Pro A300D - 161 PSAKDE OS: XP SP3

  As I see it, you must be knowledgeable and experienced with the serger. As you probably know serger don't is not taken in charge and you should not do this. It is well known that the serger on some hardware can permanently damage a component. It is very risky and you should not do this.
  Otherwise, it will void your warranty.

  If you think that Toshiba power management is responsible for this deletion Toshiba system power saving.
  You can do it whenever you want. It is part of the additional package of Toshiba.

  However, now, the sound does not seem to work properly.
  The volume on the laptop wheel itself does nothing.

  You must install the Win XP SP3!
  This package must be installed BEFORE installing the audio driver.

  Install SP3
  Then remove the audio driver (already installed) system
  Go to Device Manager and remove the sound chip of the list of devices
  Restart the device
  Now reinstall the sound card driver.

  Should work as it worked in my case as well

• 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 - 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. ;)

• Re: Satellite Pro A300D-161 - I want to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB

  Hello, I want to upgrade my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB.

  The laptop box, said the other: 2 GB DDR2 800 Mhz, but when I check the CPU - Z it says 400 Mhz

  http://img140.imageshack.us/i/cpuz1.PNG/
  http://img267.imageshack.us/i/cpuz2.PNG/

  The website of toshiba says also 800 Mhz, so wich 1 I need to buy?
  1 x 2 GB DDR2 - 400 Mhz
  or
  2 x 2 GB DDR2 - 800 Mhz

  Also, I wonder when I switch to 4 GB, the amount of memory will be dedicated to my video card?

  Thank you

  Hello

  CPU - Z is definitely wrong! Satellite Pro A300D-161 needs DDR2-800 MHz to upgrade according to the specs on the Toshiba site.
  If the information on the laptop box is correct.

  More video RAM will be assigned automatically and with 4 GB of RAM you will get more memory video too.

  Good bye

• 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 heats and turns off

  Satellite Pro A300D gets very hot and sometimes it turns off by itself. He did this recently.

  What could be the problem?

  Hello

  Usually, the notebooks of cooling modules should be good enough to ensure that the laptop could be cooled properly.
  It s not necessary to use a cooling means.

  In most cases, these cooling States blow air.
  This can be problematic, because internal notebooks cooling fans blow hot air too.

  I think you need to make sure there is enough free space around the laptop and should not use the device in his bed, sofa or on the lap. Use the laptop on the table and I think that this should help to avoid overheating more far.

  See you soon
