• 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 U300 Expansion Chassis problem

  Hello fellow users.

  I am trying to use an expresscard with my satellite pro expansion chassis. Problem is that in Device Manager, I am getting error code 12 for PCI bridges in the chassis and the error code 31 for the PCI bridge on the card I want to use in the expansion chassis.

  I installed latest version of the BIOS but cannot solve the problem.

  Slot for Express card in my computer is fine because I use an Ethernet Express of 1 card G without problem.

  Hunting on the web, it seems that the problem is related to the BIOS being unable to handle the number of PCI bus in the system, refer to the knowledge base article 942959 Microsoft. This article explains the problem and how to Vista and W2008 reslove.

  I am running XP and work around, that they said, does not work. Upgrading to Vista is not really an option as software I want to use is not yet the version for Vista.

  My only options left at this stage are fresh install XP to see if it corrects the problem, or vista fresh install and hope I want to use drivers/software works under Vista.

  Has anyone else seen this problem, got any other suggestions.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  your problem is unusual, but what I want to know is: which model / manufacturer, what is this expansion chassis?
  It would be interesting since without knowing what we´re talking expansion chassis, it would be difficult to know where exactly the problem could be...

  Hi Barry,.

  I'd be inclined to return your laptop to an authorized Service Agent Toshiba. The OEM software should not require all the updated drivers at this early stage of his life, and the unit will be well within its warranty period.

  The closer your repairman details can be found on the Toshiba site.

• Satellite Pro C650 - what startup programs I can disable?

  After about two weeks with a new Satellite Pro C650 that I bought for my wife, a light user, she is about to pounce on me.

  Everything runs slowly. Click Start: wait. Open the control panel: wait. The time-out period is of the order of 20 to 30 seconds. Internet is often more slow - especially Internet Explorer, which often goes in a State does not. (Google Chrome run better even if it's not great either) Measures taken up to now include a defragmentation of the C: drive, which was 5% defragmented. I did a scan troubleshooting out of the control panel and it informs me that I have a lot of programs that run at startup and suggests that disable some. I had read previously that there is a problem with this Toshiba.

  The question therefore is what to disable? I don't know what most of the programs are or what they do. I'll list the programs here and then gladly take suggestions. Furthermore, BitDefender has ranked three times in the startup list. I have two of them disabled for what it's worth.

  The only apps I downloaded were BitDefender and Adobe Acrobat. McAfee antivirus has been removed. Other laptops in the House work fine with the same broadband wireless connection. Hoping someone can help and tell me what I can disable.

  The startup list:
  SAIICpl Application
  Synaptics Pointing Device Driver
  Message Center
  SmartFaceVWatcher
  Catalyst Control Center
  Nero BackItUp
  Default handler
  BitDefender 2011 (figure three times)
  Adobe Acrobat
  Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager
  All of these Toshiba applications:
  -Power Saver
  -Zoom utility
  -Flash Cards
  -ReelTime
  -TEMPRO
  -HDD SSD Alert
  -Volume regulators
  -Computer laptop registration
  -Gas station
  -Application of web camera

  Thank you.

  Hello

  First of all, you can discover yourself how unique and applications that are controlled by these applications use google for more details.

  But Nero BackItUp, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager can be disabled wihotu having issues with the laptop

  TEMPRO is a tool of Toshiba which analyzes systems and provides information on the new Toshiba driver updates
  It s your own decision whether or not you want to use
  Registration for laptop helps you to register the warranty of notebooks and Station Service provides an option to optimize the performance of laptops, but it s nice to have, but it of not very important

• Re: Satellite Pro M10 - strange Boot problem

  Hello.

  My Satellite Pro M10 has developed a strange problem. It will power with its installed hard drive.

  The yellow light beside of the plug symbol starts flashing. When there is no hard drive not connected, or another hard drive from another trendy laptop it starts fine?

  Please help, thanks in advance,

  I don't know how to help you. HARD drive changes and everything will be ok.

  Is - this original hard drive that you got with your laptop?

• Screen with Satellite Pro R50-B-14U problem

  Hello

  I was just given the Satellite Pro R50-B-14U pc.
  After I upgraded from 7 to 8. 1 and I did the updates Toshiba/windows screen randomly goes off, then on again after a second at intervals of about 1/2 hours.
  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the video drivers, but the problem persists.

  How can I fix it?
  Thank you.

  According to the specifications of the laptop you original Win8.1 DVD facilities, so I assume you are using for the installation of the OS.
  Have you noticed these problems immediately after installing the OS or later after the installation of updates?

• Satellite Pro C50-A-1E2: problem get into BIOS after the activation of the quick start

  Hello

  I own Satellite Pro C50-A-1E2.

  Default hard drive has been replaced by a v300 kingston ssd. I also enabled quick start.
  I am trying to get into the BIOS but without success.

  I tried all possible combinations (Esc, DEL, f1, f2, f8, fn + esc, f1... fn)

  I found this piece of information through Googling: "press f2, and then press power. But always without success.
  Help with my problem?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Quick start can be enabled and disabled too using the Toshiba software called Desktop Help. Within this tool, you would find the HWSetup Toshiba and this part of software must contain the quick start option.

  Check it out.

  By the way: for some series laptop, press INS key then F2 worked too.

• Satellite Pro A100 and load problems

  Hello everyone. New Member here.

  Got a huge problem with my laptop. I have a satellite pro A100-830. Part number: PSAACE-00W002EN. About 2 years ago

  I can run on the current system. But it will not work on battery. I just bought a new battery and it shows on the computer.
  I get indications are:

  battery charge amber lit.
  Light on power
  Power meter indicates the battery charge. I connected new battery and it shows 47% and now 3 hours later its still 47%
  If I unplug the power to the computer shuts down and will not work on battery.

  the AC light seems to be slightly duller than the one next to him, if that makes sense.

  Ive tried updating the BIOS etc but I'm ideas if im honest as im not a computer pro. I searched the internet but I can't find an answer

  Huge thanks in advance

  Stand by.
  We need more explanation here.

  You have the same problem with the battery and you have bought one new in the hope that everything will be OK?
  Have you noticed the same problem with the battery?
  You bought original Toshiba battery?

  In my view BIOS update won't help you much. I think electronic power is responsible for this BIOS update ahs no influence on this.

• [u] [b] Satellite pro 6100 + external projector problems [/ b] [/ u]

  Dear friends,

  I am trying to solve this problem:

  When I connect to the satellite Pro 6100 a 3rd party bCool XG1 DLP projector (a very good) I can see everything fine except DVD.

  I better explain: I can see the movies on the screen of the laptop, but nothing on the wall...

  Notice that I can look at these files directly on the screen, but on the wall...:
  MPEG files (Quick time Yes, but not WinmediaPlayer);
  AVI files (Quick time Yes, but not WinmediaPlayer);
  MOV files (Quick time Yes, but not WinmediaPlayer);

  DVD: (With Intervideo Windvd) Ok on the screen, but no output from the projector.

  Note that if I use the small window mode, the projector output image is correct except inside the window that is displayed in black (but is OK on the screen of the laptop).

  Who can help me?

  Thanks in advance.

  Stefano

  Hi Stefanohf,

  When you pass the output mode you have with keys FN and F5?

  also what settigs are set in the display driver? Right click on desktop, properties and parameters.

  go to advanced and nView. There should be active clone!

  Try this!

  Goodbye, Sam

• Satellite Pro A60 Wireless connection problem

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A60 which was connected to our main office using a Linksys Home Wireless - G USB adapt to I can share files and also connect to our connection broadband. The main office is connected directly to a G from Linksys home wireless gateway. It worked fine then for no reason (no settings have been changed or installed software) the laptop does not connect to the desktop or the internet. The software Linksys says that it is connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found. Even if he says that it is connected I can't get to the desktop.

  I tried to set up a dial-up connection independent for updating drivers etc, but after the normal dial tones, he says that it cannot connect to the remote computer.

  We tried everything that we think would be grateful for any ideas. Please speak slowly and distinctly also even if I know a little technical jargon computers is a language that I'm not still commonly!

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  It's really not easy to say what can be the problem. In my opinion, you must remove all the settings and adapter WLAN Device Manager. Restart the unit, reinstall the wireless card and make a WLAN configuration again.

  In my opinion, it is very important to know if the WIFI network of the device works correctly, and if you are able to share files between the laptop and our main office. If it works properly again check the settings on our front door.

  One is the problem with Notepad or another device. If someone of your friends has a WIFI at home, you can try to check the laptop WIFI functionality. On this way, you can be sure that if the problem is caused by your Satellite Pro.

  If you find a solution please let me know what the problem is.

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro 4270 and network problems

  I just got a laptop, Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270... I installed win 98 on it and it works beautifully.

  But then I added LAN PCMCIA card in computer and wanted to do some sufring. I encountered a problem.

  In the next devices, win98 reports error handler:
  The NDIS. VXD, NTKERN. VXD or Chargers device for this device could not load the device driver. (Code 2).

  The card is 3Com Fe575C and I downloaded the latest drivers from www.3Com.com/warranty, but that did not help. I also ran regclean and reinstalled the card after that. Always the same fault. With my own laptop (win2k pro), the card works perfectly with no additional drivers, so the map itself is not defective.

  In addition, the Win98 find PCI card when starting, but I have no driver for that... Where can I get that? It does not specify which card that is...

  Hello

  I guess it is Win 98 Second Edition You are using on the 4270.
  Please go to driver download site and download the INF-update to the PC Card controller. I think this should solve your problem.

  While you are at it download the other drivers you need more.

• On Satellite Pro L870-173 keyboard problem

  Hi, I am the owner of a laptop from the Satellite Pro L870-173.
  By writing an e-mail the keyboard functions has changed.
  Some keys have a different meaning, examples

  Space lab = o
  4 = o v4v4
  c = the optioo for a secodon display

  What can I do?
  Is originally a default keyboard?
  Do anyone have an idea?

  The system is a 6v4 - bit win8o
  The keyboard settings is always the same: German language

  Thank you very much!

  > Do someone has an idea?
  Yes, I have an idea.

  > Is originally a default keyboard?
  I m afraid, Yes.

  You can confirm my idea connection external USB keyboard to the laptop.
  In case your external keyboard would work correctly, the problem is definitely related to the internal keyboard.
