  In the bios on the boot sequence, I have just put (my ssd) first HDD1, HDD2 (which is empty), then drive diskette, then LAN and cd/DVD, but when I start it, it always try first to read the cd/DVD (with the horrible sound of the cv/dvd when it tries to start on it) and finally it starts on the HARD drive.

  I am now on W10 x 64 pro, but the problem was the same with win 7 pro.

• 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 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 P300-25W - noise fan too heavy

  Hello

  I just got my Satellite Pro P300-25W and I hate the noise of the fan. Is there a way to make it less noisy race less often?
  I updated to Windows 7 and installed the drivers from the Toshiba DVD.

  In power options I selected everything to be optimized battery / record maximum power in the advanced power settings. But still, the fan runs almost all the time. I use Windows to surf a little, the CPU usage is very low (less than 10%), there is no 3D graphics movies or something goes on that would put fun on the GPU.

  It drives me crazy.
  I can do something, or should I just bought a laptop?

  I hope you can help!

  > Is it possible to make it less noisy race less often?

  There is an extra entry called Toshiba Power Saving and there you can change the performance of cooling module for battery or power mode.
  Usually, this should help

  But note; It depends on the internal temperature! Higher temperature means more rapid cooling modules
  It might be also possible that your cooling fans are full of dust and debris and prevents air circulation, remove dust and clean the fan using a jet of compressed air. Who helped in my case

• 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 - 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 - 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 - 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...

  See you soon

• 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
  2048 x 1536

  Do you not see where is the problem? ;)

  Good bye

• 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 P300-19 q - keyboard problem

  Hello

  I bought a * Satellite Pro P300-19 q * laptop and got the shipment yesterday. I am happy with the features and performance of the laptop. It has a keypad as well. The problem is the key board sinks and rises all the keys the keys (lower-right). I feel like its not secure properly. The key to this place Board feels fragile and irritating during use. Even some of my laptops at low prices to friends do not experience this problem. I can't live with it like that because it's a new laptop.
  Is there a solution to this problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Satellite Pro P300 I almost three months now and I can confirm that keyboard on this area is not stable on the other side, but it moves when I press with very great strength. Typing normal I do not use so much force and I have very sensitive keys. Just give a contact, and the symbols are on the screen. I use laptops for a year now and type on the computer keyboard is different as standard desktop with large and robust keys keyboard.

  To be honest, I don't see any problem here. Maybe you use to force much press. If you check the mechanism under the keyboard protects it's so small and sensitive, and you can press the keys very gently.

  So for me there is no problem at all. If you think that the keyboard should be more service contact stabile and explain the situation.

• Satellite Pro P300-1F1 - how to install a second HDD?

  Hello

  I would like to install a second hard drive to my Satellite Pro P300-1F1.

  I would like to know if I need a "cellar" special to set the hard drive inside the Bay? Where could I get such a thing in Germany (near Cologne)?

  On the inside of the drive Bay cover HARD are four plastic pins that are so long that it is impossible to close the cover when a hard drive is built in.
  What I have to just shorten or do I need a new cover or pins work like a kind of attachment?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Is there a connector from the HARD drive in the second span?

  If this isn't the case, then you can not install a HARD drive in any case. The second span is because he shares a common design with models that have a second HDD of the factory.

• Satellite Pro P300-1FP: need drivers Windows XP

  HI -.

  just bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1FP.

  Came with Vista installed. I would like to use XP instead.

  The aircraft crashed the first time I tried to install XP.
  I looked online and found that I needed to change the BIOS settings to work around this (SATA, "AHCI" to "compatibility").

  This and that the installation worked fine, but there are a lot of missing drivers, for example for the sounds, graphics, ethernet, wi - fi, etc..
  This leaves me in a difficult position since I am currently unable to connect to the internet to look for the missing drivers missing drivers.

  Can someone point me in the right direction?

  Thank you very much

  Alan.

  First of all he must know that your Satellite Pro P300-1FP belongs to the series of PSPC9E
