• Satellite Pro L300 - 152 Driver Update problems.

  Hi, I'm new to all this and just about managed to find my way to this Web site. I bought a Satellite as above new brand of PC World Business yesterday 22/10/08.
  I had horrible problems to install several updates of Windows that I finally had to install one by one with a re-boot after each update 'Important '.

  I took the laptop with Toshiba and now I'm using Tempro I 5 alerts telling me to install updates various...

  _3 updates the firmware and update of face recognition 1. _ I extracted the zip file and run the progs and get a message saying "this firmware is not compatible with the selected drive. Contact the manufacturer of your system for more information on formware updates available for this drive "."

  1 updating bios which finally ran with Windows Help and then gave the message «ROM date is not older than the date of the BIOS...» "whatever that means.

  I just bought a laptop, I didn't volunteer to become a technical wizz.
  It feels like I'm doing a work of Toshiba troubleshooting here, and I don't know what I'm doing. Can someone help me?
  Thanks, Guy

  Hey Buddy

  To be honest I don t understand why you react so panicly

  You have a laptop that has a pre-installed Vista OS.
  The fact is that this OS Vista was preinstalled on your laptop computer and for several days/weeks, Microsoft has published a large number of updates and so Vista downloaded and installed updates. But don t wonder about other updates. From time to time you will receive these patches! This is a common behavior of the OS.

  With regard to the Tempro tool;
  This tool informs you about new drivers available, tools or utilities on the Toshiba page.
  To be honest I wouldn t use it. Usually, it's really not important what and when a pilot a tool was released if your laptop runs without problem. I'm always this recommendation; never change a running system.

  Hope I could make a clarification.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro L300-1FL - WLAN network adapter does not exist

  Model: Satellite Pro L300-1FL (PSLB9E)
  Operating system: XP Pro SP2
  Wireless card: PA3616u-1mpc (atheros AR5007)

  the laptop came with pre-installed vista, everything worked very well (including wireless), although a little slowly, but decided to downgrade to xp. integrated SATA drivers into my xp with nlite installation disc. XP installed fine. visited the toshiba support site and downloaded all the drivers for xp and install.

  Despite the installation of the wireless driver there is still no present in the wireless network card device driver. It is an "unknown" device listed, which I think is the wireless card.

  at first I was not sure what card appeared so systematically installed that all options of wlan of the toshiba download page [intel/atheros/realtek], none has worked. little more digging autour and discovery was a then reinstalled atheros atheros wlan client on the toshiba site. still did not work. found a update atheros ar5007 driver installed, still no joy.

  forward wireless switch is on [the orange light] and has been throughout the process. have you tried enabling / disabling fn + F8, which doesn't do anything.

  I think I read somewhere (having read much too many post on this over the last few days!) that update the BIOS to version 2.4 can solve the problem. However the version offered for my model by the toshiba page BIOS update is 2.1 (which I've updated when you install all drivers in xp) and I'm not that eager to update the BIOS to a version that is not supported by toshiba, because I have no idea how fix an incorrect BIOS prevents starting the computer.

  When you look at the BIOS option "wake we wireless" is grayed out and not selectable. There is no other network without wire/related parameters. This might infer that the BIOS does not recognize the card wireless for some reason any. whereas he should have before, I started to lose its time, as worked it fine under vista wireless. so I think that upgrading the BIOS might have broken, although I can't be sure that I've updated the BIOS until I realize that the without wire did not work under XP, so it could have been broken before the BIOS update. Does this sound plausible? also, I have no idea how if is take to solve this - you can downgrade the BIOS?

  any help greatly appreciated - have been pulling on my hair for 2 days now and there is only so much googling, you can do before find yourself you constantly re - visiting the same sites over and over again!

  Thank you

  worried that he may have been conflict for different drivers wlan I had initially installed, so have done a complete re - format and re-installation of xp. Install the drivers, including the wlan driver atheros. but still no adapter wlan in Device Manager.

  the unknown device in the other section of the Device Manager is listed as an ethernet controller; However glancing upward from the PCI/VEN # (C & DEV_001C 168) on the basis of data from the provider PCI identifies that this is indeed the atheros card.

  This means that it is not a hardware/BIOS problem as I previously suspected. XP can 'see' the device, but for some reason, the driver won't work. Hmm

  someone at - it had a similar problem? is it just a matter of finding the "correct" driver

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro L300-156 - WLAN connection drops every 12 hours

  Hello!

  I have a short model "Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-156" (PSLB1E).

  The system state is:

  I used the recovery CD (to install Windows XP and other software on this CD).
  I've upgraded to the latest version of the BIOS (1.50, 10/07/2008) for my laptop and I downloaded all updates for Windows XP.
  I installed the latest WLAN driver for my WIFI (Realtek RTL8187B) card.

  The problem is still there:
  Every 12 hours (exactly on the minute!) drops connections.
  Not only the Internet, but the local connection.
  It is even a kind of matrices.

  Both a connection to a local computer and "mIRC" (ssh/telnet-program) to "PuTTY" (program-chat-IRC) says "network error caused abortion of software".

  These ping connections not, they die instantly in a tenth of a second.

  Hello

  I guess it can be caused by a 3rd third party tool that was installed on your laptop.

  I mean it of really strange that disconnected EXCATLY after 12 hours of use.

  "I have goggled a bit for the message: network error: Software caused connection abort."
  And found that this error is displayed if the Windows network code decides that your network connection is dead. This will happen when you remove the cable network Ethernet-connected computer, or if Windows has any other reason to believe the entire network has become unreachable.

  I think you should check the settings of your WLan router. My router refresh / disconnects after 23,59 hours to ensure that the IP address has changed.

• Satellite Pro L300 - network adapter failure

  I was running my Satellite Pro L300 on a Belkin router connected to my DELL desktopsuccessfully wireless, except that sometimes the adapter on the Satellite failed and I had to restart the portable computer to restart.

  The other day I decided to reinstall windows XP on my desktop, because he soon grindingly.
  All worlks OK and I can access the internet from the desktop and my laptop is picking up the signal from the router but will not let me connect.

  The network shows under available networks, but when I try to connect it says "windows could nto connect to the WLAN.
  The network icon has a red line through it. I updated the driver and according to copntrol Panel operation.

  Am posting this from my office

  Hello

  Try this;
  -Start the console (in run, type CMD)
  -In the DOS window type; ipconfig / renew

  This should renew all your network cards and must assign the IP again.

  Using the ipconfig command, check if the wireless adapter is listed in the list.

• Problem with satellite Pro L300 Ethernet controller

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A - 02L 001). Have'nt after being on the dial for the year last I was wireless (it worked well before that) but am now back on broadband but I don't seem to have any wireless.
  Checked the Device Manager and there is a yellow exclamation next to the ethernet controller and it seems there is no pilot, but apart from that, there is no further details. I tried to update the driver but it cannot find the driver on my computer and it will not search the Internet for this.

  I tried, but none of the drivers I downloaded seems to work...
  At the back of the computer laptop is a sticker - PA3613U-1MPC, I think it's the wifi card that is missing the driver but I can't find a driver for it for the life of me...

  Any help would be wonderful.

• Satellite Pro L300 BIOS update problem

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro L300 (PSLBHE).
  I downloaded the new bios and started the upgrade file. A window appears and shows the version of the old and new bios (v1.70-> v2.20). All in 1 min. my laptop computer screen turned black but the green light flashed HDD and does not what it is about 15 minutes. After that I pushed the power button and the judgment of the laptop. Now if I push the power button nothing happen just blank (black) screen and HARD drive flashing.
  What is the problem? What can I do? Please help me.

  Unfortunately not much. What you need is a professional help, so I recommend you contact the closest service Toshiba and ask for help. I'm sorry.

• Satellite Pro L300-128 - startup problem

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro L300-128 GB specification, that has a Celeron M550 running Windows XP and a construction date of the end of June 2008. I have a problem with the switching on of the machine if it has been turned off for a long period of time.

  Basically, if the AC cable is inserted into the computer laptop and plugged in, the green light turns on, but pressing the button it does nothing. By the process of elimination, I have found that, after a short period of time (say 15-30 minutes) if (and only if) the AC cable is then removed from the laptop, it lights up then!

  Plug the AC cable, while the laptop is on, do not cut the machine and charge the battery as usual. The battery life seems very good, if a little short (say 1.5 - 1.75 hours when used "constantly").

  If the computer is restarted, it lights again very well - if it is turned off and left for a few minutes, once again no problem. But, if she is not with the battery fully charged and left all night - it lights again in the morning.

  Now, as a new machine, I'm wondering if the battery needs a long initial load (such as a mobile phone)? Nothing is said about it in the manual. I have not yet checked if the battery down completely himself during the night. I haven't run the battery to the laptop for a long time (say all day) to 'trickle charge '. I don't know if the period from 15 to 30 minutes to get the thing started is once again because the battery is completely discharged during the night (I need to check the BIOS to see if "Wake up we LAN/wireless" is activated)-anyone know how long a fully discharged battery must be charged before that the machine will let you start it?

  Under the machine, there are two battery release buttons and it seems loose - I don't know if it's related, but can't see how. Moreover, when the question arose (during the first delivery the laptop), I removed the battery and tried power upwards of food, but nothing to do.

  I ran all the software updates (chipset etc) I can find on the download page, the BIOS version is 1.40 (last) of the factory.

  Any suggestions would be welcome before I have use the service of repair under warranty for the first time! I don't know if it is related to the fact that the power button seems to be a micro switch rather than a good button/switch in the conventional sense of the term, i.e. you can 'feel' it do something!

  Thank you very much
  Richard

  Hello

  If you have purchased a new laptop, the battery is empty and needs to be charged in the first place.
  You can also connect the adapter to the laptop while the battery is empty and the laptop should also lights up properly.
  The laptop must also run without the battery and using only the AC adapter.

  It should also be possible to put the laptop by pressing the power button for about a second, if this is not possible, a malfunction of the laptop could be possible.

  In such cases, it s always advisable to contact the local ASP for a verification of the laptop.

  I mean your laptop is under warranty and if something is not wrong with the machine so everything must be replaced free of charge

  In my opinion, the laptop must be checked!

• Satellite Pro L300 - CD burning problem

The created disc will play on the laptop, but not in my home Hi-Fi, the reader will recognize the disk, how much tracks etc. but does not play. I use discs without brand that worked with my old desktop computer Dell & Sony DVD player.

  I use usually 4 x.
  The operating system is Windows XP.
  Anyone got any ideas?
