Satellite Pro P300 BIOS not only flash through recovery CD en

Hi people

I tried to update my BIOS on my laptop Satellite pro P300 series, and it seems to have gone wrong. I have now read a lot about the winphlash version goes wrong. I managed to create a recovery CD, and it starts the procedure of flash and works almost to the end, but then shuts down and restarts. I have no idea how to solve this problem. I don't know that I have the correct procedure and BIOS recovery. I can boot my laptop with Ubuntu, but I really don't want to get rid of my windows installation.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello

Have you tried to Flash the BIOS in the Windows operating system?

The BIOS is focused on victory and you can Flash the ROM module using the version of the BIOS based win.

This, to a Windows operating system installed.

Found a doc HowTo very interesting on the update of the BIOS.

    Hello

    Why use this product key?

    Firstly the Toshiba recovery image is already enabled and you don t need this key more activations.

    Second, it's an OEM key and it will not work with other versions of Vista!

  • 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

    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?

  • Touchpad on Satellite Pro P300 does not work with Windows 7

    Hello

    Recently, I load Windows 7 (64-bit) on my Satellite Pro P300. I downloaded all the drivers for W7 64 bit and installed everything, fortunately, most of the time.

    The touchpad, however, is not completely functional. The upgrade page says to use the Vista drivers and did not provide any drivers for win7. Installing the Vista drivers didn't really go so well.

    In any case, the essential element of the missing features is this thing where you drag your finger up and down the right edge of the touchpad, and it scrolls for you. I can click and double click and move the slider. But I can't scroll. And it's such a pain with move the slider above the scroll bar of the application, with a big screen.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    See you soon

    If I understand you right you are missing these additional mouse settings. Am I right about that?
    Which driver you have installed?
    Perhaps Synaptics driver?

  • 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 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.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - output HDMI port does not

    Hi all

    Well it starts to drive me to distraction and Im hoping that theres someone who can put me out of my missery lol.

    I tried to connect my laptop (toshiba satellite pro p300) up to my LCD TV via the same HDMI cable that I use for my PS3 but the connector does not simply. I keep finding all these messages in various forums saying how they can't get the HDMI connection... that would be great, at least, this means that they were connected.

    Are there different links for the HDMI? The one I have is diagonal connector but the port on the laptop is more square and just doesn't fit. So, if it is not a connector, does that mean I have a funky port on the laptop.

    There is also the issue of connecting my laptop to my amp which controls the surround sound system. Which link is best to use, as there is no real connections audio output?

    See you soon

    Hello

    Can you please tell us what Satellite Pro P300 you have exactly? I mean the exact model number.
    Maybe you can also post a picture of the HDMI port. Normally there is no different HDMI port, all have the same physical size.
    I m PS3 not owner, but maybe he has a special connector. Have you tried another cable?

    Regarding the audio connection I use the normal line of output port to my external speakers. Have you tested this?

  • Satellite Pro P300 - 1 CG wakes up fashion 'sleep' when unplug USB mice

    Often, I carry my laptop from one workplace to another.
    Usually, put mode 'sleep', unplug the USB mouse and throw it in the bag.

    However, whenever I unplug the USB mouse - laptop wakes up and I have to put back to sleep.
    It's embarrassing. Is it possible to set up portable _not_ wake on USB activity?

    I found no option in Vista power settings, or in the BIOS.
    My BIOS is up-to-date (just updated, but did not help).

    I use Windows Vista Business on Toshiba Satellite Pro P300 - 1 CG.

    Hello

    > Usually put in mode 'sleep', unplug the USB mouse and throw it in the bag.
    Why you n t disconnect the mouse USB first and then put the laptop mode ensures?
    That would solve your problem ;)

    To my knowledge, the BIOS provides only the options: wake on LAN, wake-up keyboard.
    There is no options for Wake up on USB and so cannot change these settings...

  • Satellite Pro P300: external resolution 1024 x 768 instead of 1680 x 1050

    Hello

    I run my Sat P300 on XP and this laptop screen is fine (1440 x 900 pixels on radeon HD 3650).

    Now, I want to connect the laptop to an external monitor flat screen, a Samsung, which requires an optimum resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels.
    The samsung monitor works fine on my laptop more old: I close the lid of the laptop and the screen changes to the Samsung with good resolution of 1680 x 1050.

    Now, when I connect the P300 and close the lid, the screen switches to the Samsung, but the actual screen resolution is 1024 x 768, despite the fact that the 1680 x 1050 is set in the display properties windows.
    In fact, the screen is probably 1680 x 1050, but sees only the monitor 1024 x 768 (i.e. the desktop is bigger than the monitor can show, and I can push the office left/right or up/down with the mouse.

    So it appears (Hey, it's just a guess) that the radeon sends a screen 1680 x 1050 with the wrong frequency (48.2 KHz instead of 64.4 KHz as my monitor watch)!

    The Samsung drivers are installed, and I've updated the BIOS to 3.40 win, but not a solution.

    Someone at - it an idea?

    Hello!

    Have you checked the manual of the Satellite Pro P300?
    I think you should do this because there you can read why the screen resolution of 1680 x 1050 doesn t work.

    The Satellite Pro P300 supports the following screen resolutions:
    800 x 600
    1024 x 768
    1280 x 800
    1280 x 1024
    1600 x 1200
    1920 x 1440

  • Cannot install recovery image on satellite Pro P300-1EX

    Hello.

    I have never had many problems with a single laptop in my lifetime of work. I'm almost ready to throw this thing out the window. I have a satellite pro p300-1EX.

    I wanted to do an install new os just to make things a bit faster for the customer, it was 8 hours ago.

    First, I installed a Home Windows OEM pre 32B version. Then I saw that the CD would not work.

    So, Okay - I'll bring back factory default:

    (1) there is no link repair starting and pressing F8
    (2) there is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
    (3) there is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
    (4) I try to download recovery disk creator bloody software and get this - it does not work. It creates a shortcut to a file that's not here yet. TRDCLcher.exe, can you, im speechless.

    So now, I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me? I don't think so.

    So, what can I please? It was a horrible experience. Nothing works. The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it. Instealing the OEM deleted all tools by default, but I can't NOT THE DOWNLOAD.

    Please, please help me.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Maybe it sounds stupid now, but this is simply.

    Here's my explanation of how it works:
    Almost 4 or 5 years Toshiba offers laptops without recovery DVD but with recovery image stored on the HARD drive. As much I know about former Satellite/Satellite Pro P300 recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder named HDDRecvery. This model laptop was shipped with Windows Vista.

    As you know original recovery image can be installed n in two ways:
    -You can use the recovery HARD drive installation method - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    -You can use the created recovery DVD disk

    HARD drive recovery facility can be made if the laptop has only factory settings. In this case in advanced startup options (F8), you will have the option to fix my computer. If the notebk has been installed with the version of the OS or any other operating system of this option won't be available more. Because of this Toshiba has preinstalled reminder with the message for owners of laptops create recovery DVDs.

    Your questions:
    > There is no link repair starting and pressing F8
    If this laptop doesn t have to factory settings it will not appear in the advanced startup options
    > There is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
    If you have European book this model with zero will not work. It only works with the United States and Austraian mobile.
    > There is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
    I put t understand it. What happens when you start with the OEM version?
    > I am trying to download bloody recovery disc creator software
    If you have the European model of laptop, it can not be downloaded. This piece of software is included in the recovery image only.

    > So now I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me
    I understand, but at least with the original recovery DVD you can install OS and all necessary things in an hour only.
    > The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it.
    Yes. Without factory settings you will not have access to these data.

    Follow these steps:
    -start your laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings
    -set the BIOS to default settings and reboot the laptop
    -When the laptop reboots press F12 to get into the boot meny
    -When the boot menu appears on the screen put the original DVD of recovery in ODD
    -Choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER
    This will force it's STRANGE to be the first boot device and you should see process on the loading screen. Click next or OK nothing change and wait for the recovery procedure starts.

    Please try it and let me know exactly what is happening.

    I confused m do you know why?
    Because you talk about audio driver Realtek and sound chip and my knowledge, that the Satellite Pro P300 was equipped with the audio chip Conexant!

  • Satellite Pro P300 - update graphic card and CPU

    I have a Satellite Pro P300 and I was wondering if the CPU or the graphics card can be improved?

    I really like my laptop, but an upgrade is imminent and before I take the plunge I just want to see if it is all options other than a new laptop.

    Hello

    Processor and graphics card update is not supported and there is no list with compatible processors. If everything is on your own risk. In the worst case a new processor will not be recognized from the motherboard or BIOS, probably you need a new module of cooling too so I wouldn t this

    In addition, the graphics card is attached to the motherboard and cannot be exchanged.

  • Satellite Pro 4230 - does not light

    Hello
    I have the following problem:

    A Satellite Pro 4320 will not feed, DC-in light is on (green), with inserted (quite old) battery, the quickly flashes orange, (charge of compensation, according to manual) battery. If I press the power button / stop, DC-In goes off for half a second and turns on, that of all, nothing else happens.
    The power supply is 15V 4Amps one correct, I load tested it works and provides all the power, according to the specifications. It does not matter if the battery is inserted or not.

    Now the question: is this a battery problem or there is a problem with the entrails of laptops (internal DC converter)? Normally, your laptop should work on the included power supply.

    Best regards
    Nohab.

    Hey,.

    > Normally a laptop should work on the included power supply.
    You're absolutely right, mate. All cell phones work with power supply only, theoretically, a battery is not necessary. That's only important if you want to work without power, otherwise laptop mobile working with power supply only. No battery is needed.

    So my personal opinion it of a card mother dysfunction :(
