• 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 - 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. :)

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro P300 - lock when the battery power

  I have a Satellite P300 and facing an intermittent problem where keyboard and mouse lock up when battery-powered, it doesn't happen when running on the grid. The screen shows many lines top when this happens.
  I use mobile broadband [prepaid 3], but I don't think that's the rub.

  Can anyone help? PADI.

  Hi padi.

  This s really strange question...

  More details on your laptop would be interesting. You use the pre-installed Windows version or you have installed another OS?

  Theoretically, it could be a hardware malfunction or software/driver problem. In a first step, I would reinstall Windows using Toshiba recovery disc.

• Freeze screen for Satellite Pro P300 while watching the movie

  My Satellite P300 keeps freezing when I am watching videos.
  Can't even watch you tube gently or activity without intermittent freezing.

  Any help on this?

  Hello

  Do you mean the portable computer system freezes or just the movie?
  You need to restart the laptop then?

  This happens with all files film or just watching videos on the internet?
  Do you use the OS preinstalled Toshiba or did you install your own system?

• Satellite Pro P300 - how to get the original without media image?

  Hello

  I received a Satellite Pro P300 and there the for win xp recovery disk, I would go back to the installation of Vista pre installed if possible.

  The recovery on the hard disk partition is not available, so I guess, that it cannot be recovered. Is it possible to buy an original image?

  Liam is just that Win 7 is better than Vista OS.
  So if you have the ability to install Win 7 I recommend doing this instead of Vista.

  However, the Toshiba recovery disc contain only the Vista OS.

• 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 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.

  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 P300-20 q - I need 64-bit XP drivers

  Hello.
  We are dealers Italians.

  We, our customer bought a Satellite Pro P300-20 q PSPCDE-01V003IT, he needs 64-bit Windows XP to work.

  We can not find the drivers for these devices:
  Audio device on High Definition Audio (Conexant) Bus
  (AuthenTec) fingerprint sensor
  (Unknown) mass storage controller
  Device modem on Bus High Definition Audio (Conexant)
  For audio and modem we already tried the driver for XP on site support but not installed and report this error mmdriver.inf found c:\windows\system32\, even if this file is there.

  For the fingerprint sensor package install just the software but not the driver because that missed the file: atswpdrv.sys. The file is not in the package.

  For mass storage controller, none of the files of this laptop corresponds to this device.

  Also: The electric driver for XP for the Alps touchpad in the support site does not work with XP 64-bit.
  Tips for solving these problems?

  Thanks, hope to receive a reply soon because what is urgent.

  I thank once again.

  Have you checked the European Toshiba driver download site?
  Well, I think the case is clear. Support from Toshiba doesn't Windows XP 64 bit on all laptops and Satellite Pro P300 it s the same.
  I think that's bad new for you.

  The only solution is to search on the external Web site or on the site of the factory unit.
  If you n t get all the drivers it s time to install another OS.

• Satellite Pro P300 - impossible to activate the built-in microphone

  I bought a Satellite Pro P300 some 2 months and so far so good.

  It has a webcam which I really thought that I would have any use for it but now find that I have.

  The camera works fine but I cannot activate the built-in microphone.

  Can someone point me in the right direction please

  Hello

  You will need to start the webcam software if you want to use the internal microphone too.
  The point is that the internal MIC is connected with the internal webcam and webcam software handles both devices.
  Also check if the internal mic has been correctly enabled in the webcamsoftware

  In addition, I would recommend updating the audio driver.

  Best regards

• Satellite Pro P300 - 23L - horizontal lines on the taskbar

  I have a portable Satellite Pro P300 - 23L.
  Last night it suddenly appeared, about 30 horizontal thin white lines on the taskbar (actually on the bottom half inch of the screen).
  The top 3 or 4 of these lines seem to pulse in a fast and regular way.

  Now, I can barely see the icons in the taskbar, or the button to start in the lower left corner.

  I read on another forum that the problem may be due to a problem of "grounding".
  The charger plug is actually broken and repaired the wiring myself, but that some time previously, so it is possible that a connection is loose or is now was something shorting causing this effect.

  I had to order a new charger but in the meantime would appreciate any assistance in order to confirm or deny that this could be the problem.

  Any advice on how to remedy this?

  Hello

  If the problem would be with the power adapter this lines should NOT be visible using the laptop with the battery. Right?
  Therefore, it would be really interesting to know if the same lines are visible if the AC adapter is not plugged in.

  But I think that this is unrelated to the power adapter. In my opinion its a display issue or a graphics card problem.
  Therefore, you must connect an external monitor to check it out.
  If the same lines are visible on the external monitor, the graphics chip is assigned the case, it could be a display problem.

• 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 - always 1 is displayed using the numeric keypad

  Hello

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro P300, it has been the problem for free for 4 weeks.

  Now, when I try to use the numeric keypad on the keyboard what is displayed on the screen is '1' any number of type i.

  Does anyone know how can I fix?

  Hello

  I think it's a question that should be checked by a Toshiba ASP.
  I googled a bit but and someone has reported that a parameter must be changed to DMI

  I think that this can be done by a technician of ASP.
  Then you should get in touch with the guys and should ask for help and also handling

  See you soon
