• 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 - WiFi feature has been removed

  Hi, I'm not a technique very girlie, so bear with me please :_)

  Yesterday, I received Virginmedia modem & wireless router connected. The guy on the left until I'm online but when I tried, I found that my Satellite Pro L300 wireless function has been deleted. I tried to use the rescue disk, but I get an error message saying "ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode Driver' absent." I can't even connect to the internet with an ethernet cable & when I checked the Windows my laptop's side went from 3.1 to 1.0!

  Is that what I can do to correct this situation myself or should I leave in a repair shop?

  It is indeed very frustrating.
  All responses are warmly appreciated .x

  Boarder's right. At first check if the LAN and WLAN cards are installed properly.
  Go to control panel > system > on the left side, click on Device Manager and check the entries under network adapters.

  Please report the status.

• Satellite Pro L300-21F does not start and the screen remains blank

  L300-21F is aged 18 months, so out of warranty. When you press the power button, you can hear the fan and a "click" but the hard drive does not start and the screen remains blank. The power and the battery on the headlight LEDs, but the switch light does not work. I checked the power supply and it is 19.3V and substituted a good known. Removed the battery, tried with just the power cord and still nothing. Pressing ESC or F2 when you press the button power does not bring to the top of the screen of the bios or any other message. I have concluded there is no power the jury. A friend he had its technology take a look and he concluded Council is probably a friend.

  So my questions are:
  1. He's probably right?
  2. is it a common problem with an easy solution?
  3. what else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?
  4. is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?

  Any help appreciated

  Hello

  > 1. He's probably right?

  Yes, it looks like motherboard failure

  > 2. Is this a common problem with an easy solution?

  If it's a motherboard problem, the whole motherboard is replaced. Quite expensive part...

  > 3. What else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?

  I don't think you can do anything with fried mobo

  > 4. Is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?

  Take a look at the site called irisvista.com

  The startup repair does nothing.

  Hello

  I think it might be related to high temperatures.

  Have you noticed a hot air coming from vents?

  Usually the laptop stops automatically to avoid that the pieces of equipment against damage.

  So you need to check if the vents are clogged with dust and debris in most cases you can remove it using a jet of compressed air.

• BSOD on Satellite Pro L300

  Hello world

  I've been using my * 28W Satellite Pro L300 * since 2 years now, and since the last summer he ain't no fun.

  The laptop suffers * BSOD * one after one, making the job impossible. BlueScreenView, it is especially halmacpi.dll who is responsible, and the error code is * 0 x 124 *, which is for material that I know.

  I've tried everything described on various forums, including virus and rootkit search, updated all drivers and BIOS, checked the base with SpeedFan temperature - everything seems OK, but always reappears the BSOD. I have nothing overclocked, running Windows 7 32 bit with all latest updates.

  There is no BSOD when booting in safe mode. If anyone has some thoughts on this, I'll be happy to see them!

  Hello

  Have you tested the mobile functionality with clean operating system preinstalled (original toshiba recovery image)?

• 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! :)

• Satellite M60-132 - USB stops working until you restart

  My problem looks like this:

  All USB ports die after a few minutes (time may vary, but is shortened recently) after the start. They give no error - the USB mouse stops responding, the USB drive gives stops giving "delayed write failure" or sth like that. They are all visible and OK in device (Windows XP) Manager, no problem not being reported here. They have just stop working. I tried to reinstall Windows. It is not dependent on the OS actually. For example, I can boot from a live CD of SuSe Linux and ports will also die after a few minutes - they do on any OS tested.

  Now, I have discovered (GOOGLE usb ports stops working until the reboot) that several Satellite M60 users report this problem with their old cell phones. Exactly the same thing - ports die after a certain time of start and remain that way until you restart. In one case the user writes that he bought a cardbus PCMCIA USB controller and the problem continues - the ports of the controller when dying as well as embedded.

  My idea is to try even when the PCMCIA - maybe it will work in my case (another chip etc - you have never know). And anothr one must try to connect a USB hub to the Firewire port available. There are USB to Firewire Converter cards - could work like that?

  Anyone know any solution to my problem or have an opinion on my ideas? I am looking to buy a new laptop, which I can't really afford right now...

  Hello

  To be honest I've ever read on these problems on the Satellite M60, but it can happen from time to time, because it of also a fairly old laptop.

  My friend also uses a PCMCIA card that has USB ports on his old notebook. He is quite satisfied with this solution because it don t need to each time the USB ports. Just sometimes if he's copying files on USB.
  These cards are cheap, you can get it for a few s Euro and you can buy this card where you want, for example Amazon.co.uk.

  I never heard firewire to USB ports, which is new to me and I n t have experience with this.

  Hello

  Firstly the Toshiba Power Saver requires the installation of the common Module.
  The common Module for Win XP v1.00.05 can be downloaded from the European pilot page Toshiba.

  So before installing the energy saver, install common Module, restart the computer, and then try the energy saver.

  In addition the Intel PROSet/Wireless Software can be used only with the Intel Wlan card.
  Is the laptop supports the Intel wireless network adapter?

  AFAIK the L300 series can be equipped with a Realtek, Atheros and Intel Wlan card
  Check it!

• Satellite Pro L300: x 3100 and updated updated driver chipset Intel 965 graphics

  Has anyone installed the Intel 7.15.10.1666 driver, dated 02/26/2009 for the Mobile 965 chipset? Here is their web page to download:

  http://www.Intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/

  Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 doesn't work for some reason unknown to me, with the automatic update driver Intel (download containing the executable file). Therefore, I followed the instructions for manual installation (the download with the zip file).

  My laptop works fine with this new driver, and there is a clear improvement in the transitions between images when you use the option to Windows presentation (slideshow).

  This new driver installs also 3 Intel graphics programs:
  For the management of the display function keys
  Access to the system tray
  Wizard TV

  I used Windows Defender to remove these 3 programs that load automatically at startup of the system to maintain a fast startup time and not loading unnecessary programs in memory. There is no me no problem.

  Why Toshiba has added that this to the driver download page?

  Hello

  Thanks for this second info...

  > Why Toshiba has added that this to the driver download page?
  Who knows maybe it has not been verified, approved and tested by Toshiba?

  As far as I know every phone manufacturers test and approve drivers before they will be released in the pages of pilot
  Perhaps, it has not been approved...

  However, it s good new that this driver works correctly.
  I'll check it too on my laptop.

  See you soon

  Hello

  I want to say clearly that portable computers technology design is not the same as on the desktop and if you have a good experience with desktop computers, you'll know that upgrading the graphics cards is not so problematic, but on laptops, the situation is very different.

  Laptops design and construction doesn't allow such flexibility for upgrades, upgrading the graphics card is not possible.
