• Updating the BIOS is dead the satellite Pro P300-1AY

  Hi all

  found this forum and really hoping that he can help me!
  I bought a satellite Pro P300-1AY two years ago, it cost me £900 nr so I thought it would be worthy of a purchase.

  A year ago the USBs stopped working, I do it every working solution I could think of anything will do, finally gave up and learned to live without USBs!

  However, a few weeks ago, the laptop at the start stop, I didn't get was the black screen. Probably a video problem I did all the memory check hard drive everything else, however, it was only an intermittent problem, I found if I he tilted on the side she would begin, another thing to live with!

  But two days ago, I heard that if I've updated the BIOS, it could solve all my problems. so I went to the Toshiba site, found the BIOS updated and downloaded, but to halfway through the installation, the laptop froze and I couldn't t he put it off and had to take the battery out to turn it off!

  And ve you may have guessed, he's now won t start. Even its worst, LED lights, and if I put a disc in the cd I can hear it whirring, but that s it.

  Is - this irreparable? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?
  Ty for your time in reading :)

  Hello

  > Is it irretrievably? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?

  Well, usually the BIOS could once again be reflashed, but you would need a traditional version of the BIOS update.
  This version is available for Toshiba FSA.

  So you will need to get in touch with a local ASP technician that could reflash the Rom BIOS module.
  Eventually, after this update the specifications would be stable.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro P300-1AY - screen and keyboard issues

  Satellite Pro P300-1AY

  First and most importantly, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
  If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy solution?

  Otherwise, no idea how much it would cost for a replacement?

  Secondly, I switch to a different keyboard layout.
  Anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?

  Thanks x

  > First of all and above all, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
  > If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy fix

  Hmm. Maybe it's s inverter a FL. The FL inverter is a small part that controls the screen backlight
  Generally disassembly laptop procedure is very delicate and looks like you've never disassembled the laptop so I would not recommend to do anything which could damage the other parts get in touch with a local ASP and ask for help.
  Usually the FL inverter should not be expensive pieces but I have no idea on costs

  > Does anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?
  and once again all spare parts can be ordered from local ASP.

• Satellite Pro P300-1AY does not see wireless networks

  I have a Satellite Pro P300-1AY and the unit does not see wireless networks.
  I replaced my card and it does not solve the issue.

  I set up another type of card and those who work well, it is only when I get an Intel 5100 (512AN_MMW) the unit does not see any network.

  I use win XP. Any idea?

  Hello

  You have the latest version of the BIOS?
  If this isn't the case, then you should first update the BIOS!

  The latest version of the BIOS is on the European driver Toshiba page and it can be modified running Windows OS.
  As far as I know, you must use 2.5 or later version BIOS.

  Check it!

• Satellite Pro P300-1AY: Vista does not display computers XP network group

  On my show w Satellite Pro P300-1AY with Vista, my old XP computer is not always displayed in the list of working groups.
  On my old XP computer, I still see the new Vista computer

  Can you tell me why the Vista computer not always displays the XP computer in the network group?

  On the commputer of Vista, I traced a directory on the XP computer and it will connect even though the task force list does not show the XP computer under the list of networks

  Hello!

  Have you disabled the firewall on the XP computer?
  Maybe a 3rd party security software is blocking it.

  Check the registry and go to:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE es\lanmanserver\parameters
  In this case don't Scream no entry with the name of Hide.
  If you have such an entry, delete it.

• Satellite Pro P300-26U - can I use a second HDD?

  Satellite P300 obligations food raid0 and double HARD drive. All models? Manual of 26U don't say a word on the subject. Model as P300-1BP has double HARD drive.
  Can someone help me? I want to buy a P300-26U in Italy.

  Thank you.
  Guido

  Hi mate,

  Who said that the Satellite Pro P300 takes supported RAID? AFAIK P300 series don't have RAID controller and in the specifications detailed on the Web from Toshiba site I can't find anything about this

  Satellite P300 it of only possible to use a second HDD if it has a second HARD drive connector. You can check it if you remove the second HARD drive. If you can see a second HARD drive connector, you can use a second HDD.

• Satellite Pro P300 - 23L: can't get screen Toshiba Leading Innovation

  This is a cut and paste from a previous post, but the one I'm having a problem with today (save me typing again!):

  When I start my laptop, it stops on the first screen of the Toshiba innovation and only gives the opportunity to do two things. That's what he said to prevent the page * "Press F2 to enter Setup, F12 to access the selection of Multiboot Menu" * I tried both. I pressed F2, I press F12 and no one bothers me pst screen

  -When I press on either after the Toshiba screen is visible, they do nothing
  -If I press "F2" at the start, upward, the instructions at the bottom of the page says "Please Wait". However, I waited for hours and nothing ever happened. The "Please wait" message just sitting there.
  -If I press F12 during startup, upwards, the instructions at the bottom of the page says "press F2 SETUP, Entering boot device selection menu... "Then he is there and does anything just
  The screen Toshiba Leading Innovation remains all the time.

  I have tried removeing the battery and draining flea power - this does not solve the problem.

  When I restart the laptop, I get the situation according to the line 1 above. No amount of tap F8 does nothing... I'm still back to the page of the main Innovation of Toshiba.

  The fan works, but the HARD disk led never sparkles.

  Any suggestions please? Thank you

  Hello

  If the laptop is unable to pass the home screen Toshiba (POST-puissance on self test) then this behavior of the laptop is mainly related to a serious hardware problem.

  The defective HARD drive would not cause such a problem, because even if the HARD drive is faulty, the laptop must be able to pass such screen...

  So I guess there is something wrong with the RAM or the motherboard.
  Here you can check how to remove the RAM modules and insert the new memory:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/CRU9902O80001R01.htm

  If the problem is not related to defective RAM, then other parts like the motherboard (maybe module BIOS EPROM) must be verified... but such verification requires additional special tools and that's why I think it would be a job for a laptop technicians...

• Satellite Pro P300-1AY - where can I get new parts of keyboard?

  Hey guys,.

  I was wondering if you knew all the places where I could get a set of keys for the keyboard (as opposed to buying a new keyboard) and if possible; where I can get sets of keys for different keyboards, such as QWERTY for example.

  A big thank you in advance, Owen.

  Hey Buddy,

  You can order a new keyboard and these individual keys you want to say t can be ordered. If some individual keys n t work you need to buy a new keyboard but AFAIK it isn't so expensive.

  Simply contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask for that. There you can get a new keyboard. :)

• Satellite Pro A100-830 - can only use 3 GB of RAM under Windows 7 64-bit

  Hello

  I just upgraded my laptop Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 and also improved my ram to 4GB (2x2GB)

  Windows is to see all 4 GB but says only 3 GB is usable, because it is a 64-bit version of Windows wouldn't be able to use all the 4 GB?

  Any help appreciated

  Thank you

  Laptop specs

  Intel Core2Duo T7200 2.0 GHz
  RAM DDR2 677 MHz 4 GB
  ATI Radeon Mobility X 1600
  120 GB HD

  Hello

  Have you already checked the BIOS? How much RAM show the BIOS?
  And what kind of modules you have exactly?

  Normally, it should be possible to use full 4 GB of RAM on a 64 bit OS as your laptop also supports 4 GB.

  Maybe you should also try updating the chipset driver. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

• Satellite Pro P300 LED to the bizarre behavior

  I have a portable Satellite Pro P300-1AY, bought just for more than a year. A few hours before after saving my galleries of photos on my external hard drive, a function LED (located below the touchpad) began to blink once every 2 seconds and has done since then. I can't say I've noticed this before but maybe I'm a bit on the side hypersensitive and prudent? I've never had a system failure (yet) or any error message telling me that something is wrong in particular.

  Unfortunately I don't know quite what this led to specific standards for, no power supply mains or battery either. The hard disk activity? More likely.

  As indicated, perhaps I am worrying for no reason, but it's not something I picked up before and it doesn't seem to be anything on a Google search that describes something like that.

  I appreciate any comments on this one.

  Best regards

  Gavin

  Be cool and watch what happens the next few days.
  Let us know if the same thing will happen tomorrow.

• Satellite Pro P300 - BIOS upgrade to 64 - bit

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro P300 - 266 PSPCDE and I am very happy with him.

  Since I have a WIN7 64 bit OS, ready to use and 8 GB of RAM I need to update the BIOS to 64-bit.

  I found a WinPhlash file on the support site of Toshiba (toshiba - tro.de) bios called - 20090226124829.zip. I tried to use it as described in the Toshiba support on the use of WinPhlash (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm) page. Also, I made an exception for WinPhlash in the registry of the DEP.

  It still does not work.

  Since I am a user knowing very mediocre modern computers I guess I'm doing something wrong or I can be monitor something... can anyone please help me upgrade my system to its full capabilities?

  Thank you

  Aernout

  You don't need to upgrade BIOS. If everything works well don t change anything.
  I have Satellite P300 with preinstalled Win7 32 bit and works perfectly.

  How do your shopping with the 64-bit version?

• Satellite Pro P300 - what is the maximum RAM I can install?

  What is the maximum RAM you can install in the PSPCDA-01L00D Toshiba Satellite Pro P300?

  It is not listed in the specifications.

  Hello!

  It seems therefore that the laptop is already upgraded to the maximum RAM.

  I think that 4 GB of RAM should be sufficient for all applications on a laptop at the moment. :)

• Satellite Pro P300 - how to upgrade Intel GM965 display driver?

  Hello

  I do not found how can I update my graphics driver from the Web from Toshiba website. I found some other updates, but not this one...

  And I have a problem with a game (Starcraft II) with "igxprd32" which seems to refer to the Intel Graphics accelerator driver.

  When I go to the update site Intel it tells me:
  "A custom computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update utility is not able to update the driver. Install a generic Intel driver instead of the driver from the computer manufacturer custom can cause technical problems. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer. "

  Thanks in advance for your help

  Concerning

  (Satellite Pro P300)

  Hey,.

  I had the same problem on my Satellite Pro U300 but it of easy to solve.

  Go to Device Manager, right click on your graphics card. Select Update driver and follow the instructions in a new window. Select the Advanced installation where you can choose the directory and the driver yourself.

  But don t forget to extract the zip first, otherwise the driver will not be found. ;)

• Satellite Pro P300 - 18Q - upgrade to Windows XP

  My colleague is about to buy a new laptop Satellite Pro P300 - 18 Q and asks me to perform the downgrade it to XP.

  Are there instructions with the machine on the way to do it. ?
  I know that it comes with Vista and XP Professional as recovery on DVD media.

  Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  If this laptop comes with Windows XP Home edition recovery media, I don't understand why ask you the next question. Your colleague can decide which operating system they want to use. If he wants to use the Windows XP using WXP home edition recovery media and install the Windows XP Home edition operating system.

  Someday, if he wants to use Vista, it can install it using sent Vista recovery image.

  I hope you understand what I mean.
