• Satellite Pro L300 - cursor black screen flashing

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro L300 Vista.

  The customer earned him in because when it starts it goes to home Toshiba screen then goes to a black screen with cursor flashing at the top left. I connected external monitor with the same result. Swapped RAM as well.

  Have run Memtest (spent), Seagate HDD long test (past), Ultimate boot CD and Winternals without success.
  * F8 does not work * and no more than the resumption of the plant.

  Can enter the BIOS F2 and F12 no problems and the HARD drive is listed.

  I reinstalled Vista on CD and on reboot it goes back to blinking cursor. I tried booting from the Vista CD repair and system restore. FixBoot commands and FixMbr prompt as well as with the same result.
  I feel that it may be a corrupt CMOS sensor? It's like the OS installs correctly, but the computer loses his memory on reboot where the operating system?

  Is the battery CMOS easily accessible and removable on this model?

  Has anyone experienced these symptoms? Is - fixable at lower cost?

  Hello

  If you have clients, I guess you're a technician and hope you have a few pieces of equipment in your store.
  Have you tried to set the BIOS to default settings and check again?
  If possible try to exchange the HARD drive and test the functionality again.
  You can use laptop with Linux live CD (HARD drive not required)?

  To be honest that I think n problem t is ORGANIC and, in my opinion, the exchange of the CMOS battery is not necessary.

  Please test it with the new HARD drive and post comments.

• Satellite Pro L300 PSLB1E - black screen / no display

  Hello

  hope someone can point me in the right direction. I just bought a re-conditioned by Satellite Pro L300 Model PSLB1E of Dabs.com.
  He worked for about 20 minutes and then I got a blue screen error (I think that I just tried to open Windows Media Player when this happened).
  Sorry, but I didn't note down the error however seem to recall he mentioned win30.dll?

  Now, when I turn on the laptop I can hear things fan etc but there is no display on the screen.
  I don't know what to do and I have no warranty documentation.
  Suggestions this is appreciated please.

  Are you able to start, any bootable disks, Win XP, Win Vista, Linux live CD, etc.

  Please check this!

  But if you will not be able to boot from these disks, then you must contact the ASP (authorized service provider) in your country, because this problem looks a little more hardware related problem.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A - 02L 001) - remove Vista and install Windows XP

  I'm waiting for delivery of a L300. I also bought XP I want to install XP as soon as I get the L300. The laptop comes with Vista installed which I never liked.

  I intended to create a Vista recovery disc just to make sure before you start the conversion.
  I was going to do the installation of XP reformat the disk and partition of the HD.
  I was also going to download all of the drivers XP for my model on the Toshiba site, the installation then the XP installation had finished.

  Is there anything I should be aware of, or have missed?

  Hello!

  I think you are right but before doing something I will give you a few words of advice:

  Before you do something on your laptop or begin to install Windows XP, you must create the Toshiba in Windows Vista recovery disk. I know that you n t like Vista but with these discs every time you can restore your laptop factory settings. Independent that you have installed on your laptop. You must start only to drive recovery and follow the instructions on the screen. The factory settings will be restored in a few minutes and you should not install additional drivers. The disc already contains all the drivers and tools of Toshiba and so you can save a lot of time! Also if you have problems with your laptop you can test with the settings to determine if it s a software or hardware problem. As you can see it of very useful and easy the recovery disc.

  According to installing XP you need a disc of Microsoft. You must format the HARD drive and you can then create the partitions you want. In your case, I'd a partition for the system and one for your data. The point is that if you need to reinstall Windows XP at a certain point you should not back up the data first because they are already stored on the second partition and to reinstall Windows XP, you need to format only the first partition. Of course, you can do what you want, but then I install Windows on my notebooks.

  Finally and above all drivers that you find on the Australian site of Toshiba, that of right. I think that it shouldn't be a problem to install it so just download all the and the tools of Toshiba. After that, the XP installation is complete and you can do what you want.
  In addition, if you have installed all the drivers and tools for XP you can make an image of your installation. For example with Acronis True Image. Therefore, you can restore your installation of XP every time and I think it can help you save time. I have good experiences with Acronis and I do a picture of my too custom installations.

  I hope this was helpful for you and if you have any other questions, please let us know.
  Have fun with your new notebook from Toshiba! :)

  Good bye

• 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.
  Daryl in New Zealand

  You are right. This part number is WLAN Card. I put t know what operating system you use but for download driver Atheros http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads WLAN

  I hope this will help.

  What is now with LAN driver? Do you need it too?
  In any case, visit the Toshiba support page under http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/download and there you should find good LAN driver for your model of laptop.

• Re: Satellite Pro L300 - screen resolution maximum?

  I just bought an external monitor for my L300. The screen resolution is 1920 x 1080, but the maximum available on my L300 is 1280 x 800. The utility Service Station tells me that all my drivers are up to date - is there a way I can increase the graphics resolution? Any suggestions much appreciated!

  Details: Running Windows 7 Pro SP1 on a satellite Pro L300 PSLB9A - 02K 002

  Hi PeterSouthon,

  Need to unlock the other screen resolutions. Simply uncheck the option Hide modes that this monitor cannot display as you can see on [THIS | http://blog.wildvista.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Lightroom_hide_modes-340x400.png] photo.

  After unchecking this box, you should be able to use the native screen resolution of your external display.

• Satellite Pro L300-1AF fails to start

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-1AF that won't start, it stopped working a few weeks ago and I tried startup repair and things, and nothing seemed to work just kept loading a black screen with a cursor but nothing else. After a little more research, I found out how to restore to factory settings holding the 0 key etc. when I tried this he got 54% then the screen everything went black and now it used to boot. It happens with just:

  -Unable to start windows. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

  file:\Windows\system32\winload.exe
  status: 0xc000000e
  Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

  He also says to insert your installation disc, but I have not one when I bought it.

  -What this means and how can I solve this problem? I tried the factory restore and just make it even worse.

  Any help or advice would be much appreciated

  Hello
  > He also says to insert your installation disc, but I have not one when I bought it.
  That's your first problem. This model laptop was delivered without disc recovery but the preinstalled software that allows you to create a recovery media. All this is clearly described in the document s user manuals.
  Now, your original Vista operating system has disappeared. On this path virtual I can't say with certainty what the problem is, but somehow, I think the HARD drive's troublemaker.

  What to do now? First you need the Windows installation for the installation of the OS disc. Original Vista may not be used more so my advice to you is to get the Win7 32 bit install disc and try to install it on your machine. Win7 is entirely compatible, so there is no problem to install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities.

  By default the BIOS settings and try to install Win7. If the same problem recurs and Setup will stop I m afraid HARD drive is defective. If possible, try to get another HDD for testing purposes.

  You know you have to play a bit with your machine now and find out what the problem is.

• Satellite Pro L300-291 - Ok on AC, but fails on DC

  Does not work on DC. Battery is good appearently (both Win7 and HMONITOR reported as 100% - said HMONITOR there 17% wear, which is consistent with the age) works OK on AC, but do not start or run on DC and 'die' if connector ca pulled.

  Win7 detects if the battery is removed and he is happy when he is handed over.
  Panel lights are compatible with a battery in good condition - without blinking.

  This happened after that I put fully powered - off normally let it sleep.

• Satellite Pro L300 starts flashing led no-battery

  Hello world

  My Satellite Pro L300 stopped working suddenly: nothing terrible happened, such as fall or other accident, so I can't explain what went wrong.

  The situation is: I have the laptop with the battery inside and connected to the power cable. I press the power button and battery led 5 times with the orange light just flashes. It doesen't start, not even the fan, just stay still. Same thing if I disconnect the power cable.

  If I remove the battery it doesn't blink even led orange.

  Does anyone know what could have happened?

  Thank you very much and sorry for my bad English!

  Silvia

  Hello Silvia

  I can't say for sure, but power led flashing is typical when there is a problem with power supply and electronic power supply.

  If you cannot start the laptop with AC power only (remove battery) then you need professional help with this.
  Sorry, but I m afraid there is nothing you can do about it.

• My new Satellite Pro L300 will not work

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 on eBay. I connected all the cables according to the installation guide. At first he asked my details, then I logged in and it went to a pages where he says he was preparing. Then I was sent to the newspaper in the section, and the same page appeared saying that he was preparing.

  After what happens about 5 times, he went to a black screen where the only thing I could see was my mouse cursor.

  I closed and restarted, I tried to go into the settings using F12. I was not able to work at all, no matter what I do.
  Unfortunately, I don't have a CD of the OS, but it was announced as having Vista as OS and have Microsoft Office Suite on him as a built-in wireless modem, so it was supposed to be ready just to turn it on. Well I can't even turn it on.

  What should I do? How should I do?

  At first, I must say that F12 has nothing to do with all the settings.
  At this point, I recommend using the new operating system installation using the HDD recovery procedure.
  How to proceed as a result of this document, you can find > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  When the OS is installed and started up properly first thing you need to do is to create the disc of recovery facilities. "You can do it using preinstalled" Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. The shortcut is placed on the desktop.

• Satellite Pro L300 29V - hard drive is dead

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-29V only about 2 months, and suddenly the hard drive (very full) is apparently dead.

  Initially the laptop starts Windows correctly, but now the HD is not yet recognized in the BIOS. If it goes beyond the Toshiba splash screen, I get the thing PXE saying "a cable is unplugged. I tried to re-allocation of places the reader twice, but still nothing.

  It's really disturbing, because I had transferred recently practically my whole LIFE on it on other computers which many many many hours of musical recordings that I can't really afford to lose.

  I think I'll have to buy a HD dock and see if I can read and copy the data.

  Does anyone else have this problem? It is likely that the drive could have been erased?

  I should also mention that a day or two before this happened, my girlfriend was using etc. Open Mobile (Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word,) - computer I pressed the power button that normally makes hibernate - and when I turned it back, rather than resume where he left off, the computer started from zero and no work/windows were saved.

  I'm afraid that might be some stupid day, Avira, or on the Windows updates without end that has damaged something...

  EDIT: OK, I have a picture of the error I received before complete failure, but I can't download it here. Here is the text (on a blue screen):

  -----
  A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

  If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

  Check to make sure any new hardware or software is installed correctly.
  If it is a new installation, ask your hardware manufacturer or software, the windows updates, you might need.

  If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading. If you need to use safe Mote to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

  Hi mate,

  First of all, I must say that I have this Satellite L300 too. But I didn t have no problem, the HARD drive works fine for 1.5 years and I use this laptop for Internet and emails everyday. I m very satisfied.

  However, what do you hear now?

  I hope that you can copy your data to another device and you will need a new HARD drive for your Satellite Pro L300. That's fact!
  In addition, there are a few good programs that they can the recovery of data from faulty hard drives. Just search with Google, you will find some interesting links.

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro L300-software-service says I need update graphic driver

  I downloaded the software http://designbyme.lego.com/en-us/default.aspx DesignByMe

  The installation runs without a problem, but when I start the program it restarts again and again. The charge of doesn´t photo entirely, instead of this there are black spots. I have can´t click on anything that either, or near programm. I thought that maybe the installation process has not completed correctly so I downloaded the software again, but the problem is always the same. I m using a new Satellite Pro L300 28w with Windows 7 and Mozilla Firefox 3.6

  I contacted the support of lego and they replied: "probably you need to update your graphics driver. Please contact your customer computer manufacturers website for updated free"

  Is this possible and if so what edo upgrad I need?

  Hello

  I put t know if the update of your display driver can solve this problem, but if the manufacture of the software said that it s worth a try! ;)

  The update is simple enough: first download the latest version here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  If you have downloaded the latest version, remove the old first. Check the list of software in the control panel and follow the instructions on the screen. I guess you have to do a reboot and after that, you can install the downloaded version.

  Good luck! :)
