• Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) - freezes on the Welcome screen

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U300 model no notebook 01900REN PSU31E purchased as new and connected to Windows XP.

  It worked perfectly fine for about a year until very recently when it started freezing on blue welcome screen. I had to disconnect the battery because it has not proceeded past the blue welcome screen. I ran the antivirus avast but it nothing of the detected note. Now even when I disconnect and reconnect the battery the screen does not go beyond the Welcome screen blue even if the mouse is moved again, and occasionally the pointer arrow-pointer to sand-clock pointer initially and then rest as arrow-pointer changes. Pressing buttons, Ctrl + Alt + Delete, using the mouse or the battery are not any good.

  I backed up things but not until recently. Please help me, I'm an amateur like these sorts of things, I'm English teacher from teaching professional so I really need materials and capabilities of the laptop. What should I do, please help!

  Thanking you in advance,

  Hey the view,.

  Have you tried the same thing in safe mode? Go to the advanced boot menu by pressing F8, select Safe mode.
  Check it!

  It of really difficult to say why this is happening but if it doesn t work I think that it s time to reinstall Windows. So take the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot from it. If you follow the instructions on the screen you get factory in minutes! :)

• Satellite U200 - 1920x1080@64Hz on the external LCD screen resolution problem

  I am the owner of a SATELLITE U200 and I would use it with an external LCD display.

  The external monitor supports up to 1920x1080@64Hz.

  When I select the 1920x1080@64Hz option in the properties of the screen, I get an image enlarged and out of range of the scale. However, by selecting 1400x1050@60Hz seems to work very well.

  My question is: is there anyway I can get the 1920x1080@64Hz option working properly?

  It s nice that your monitor supports the screen resolution 1920 x 1080, but you should check your owner's manual.

  On page B-4, you will find a list of the supported screen resolution and I must say that the resolution 1920 x 1080 is not taken in charge.
  You can select 1920 x 1440 but not 1920 x 1080.

  Sorry, but the material doesn't supports his screen resolution.

• Satellite Pro U300 - the broken LCD screen

  Hi all

  My first post please bare with me.

  I have a Satellite Pro U300, who has a broken LCD screen.
  I have a replacement screen, but not sure how to go abouts it change places.

  Someone at - it a service manual for this model or the tricks and tips on how to disassemble the unit to swap the LCD broke with a new one?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  The service manual can be downloaded. It s not for the public and it s only for Toshiba and approved providers available I think.
  On the Toshiba site, you can download the user manual, but I doubt it would be useful for you.

  I think the best way would be if you go to an authorized service provider. The exchange of the LCD is a little tricky and you should have experience with this.
  On the Toshiba site, you can search for an ASP. I m sure that the technicians will help you. ;)

• Satellite Pro U300: Battery LED indicates low power using Linux

  Hello

  I have Satellite Pro U300 and I'm using Linux.
  I have a problem of opinion on my PC, it does not indicate that the battery is low (without flashing) and lights out.

  What this indicator a software driven or it's a hardware problem on my laptop?

  Another small problem that was Watch not remember brightness for battery mode.

  Thank you

  Hello

  > I notice a problem on my PC, it does not indicate that the battery is low (without flashing) and lights out. What this indicator a software driven or it's a hardware problem on my laptop?
  > Another small problem that was Watch not remember brightness for battery mode.

  Please don't be angry with me, but first I would not talk about problems if you use Linux on the Toshiba laptop. Is that Linux is not supported and that's why some features of laptops may not work properly.

  About the light battery;
  The LEDs are controlled by the BIOS. As you know the laptop was running Vista and so the BIOS support for Vista.
  As I said above, if you use another OS like XP or possibly Linux so some features may not work properly.

• Re: Satellite Pro U300: critical battery Vista hibernate problem

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro U300 PSU31E and have problems with the critical level of batteries and hibernation since I got it.

  It comes with Vista Business

  Critical battery level is set at 2% - is the the strage thing if I hit Hibernate mode (via the power button or start > Hibernate) it have hibernated ok - even at 2% remaining battery. However if I leave it to do this automatically (via the action of critical battery and critical battery level Windows) he died just in hibernation - looks like it ran out of power. The only way I can operate automatically through Windows is by setting the battery level critical to 8% (he dies still in hibernation on what whether it is less than 8%).

  Normally you would just say ok the critical low level must be higher but one) why when I Hibernate manually less than 8% is working perefectly and b) put 8% loses me a good a few minutes! and (c) especially the computer or the battery do not think they are flat at 8% - then, the problem is that it allows you to restart. When the computer starts less than 8%, he has already missed his firm critical point 8% so then just down and down with no further action of the battery until it dies. My XP laptop would be closed, then the computer would know the battery is flat and do not allow a restart up to the critical load of 3%.

  What is one thing Vista or Toshiba?

  Probably not the battery I have 2 with exactly the same problem

  I have all the latest drivers for the power and Vista SP1 and latest version of the BIOS

  Thank you

  Hi David

  I think it s not a Vista problem or question Satellite U300.

  The point is that the OS Vista needs a lot of resources and more energy than the older Microsoft operating systems.

  Always is it that same laptop with pre-installed Win XP would be a lot more time using the power of the battery as with Vista OS.
  Vista is a monster and he eats all the material resources.

  This means that if you use the Vista operating system, you must set the parameters of critical battery at a higher level to make sure that your laptop (Vista OS) would end Hibernate process correctly.

  I think that the last 2% of the battery power is simply not enough to put the laptop into hibernation mode.

  So don't worry, relax and enjoy your beautiful baby ;)

• Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) standby & hibernation fails after updating BIOS

  Hello

  I wonder if it is common that after the upgrade of the Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) of the BIOS 2.50 at BIOS 3, 70 - Win or 3, 90 - Win, do sleep modes and Hibernate the * completely locked laptop computer? *

  After the upgrade, when I try to enter sleep or hibernation, the laptop turns off the LCD and gets locked so it isn't help to press and hold the power button, open/close the cover, press Fn - F3 or F4 - Fn, the only way is to disconnect the power supply and wait until the battery runs down, or simply be very rough and * disconnect the battery *.

  While the Pro U300 is locked, I hear that HARD drive and fans are also swivel - as soon they were when entering standby or hibernation mode. Very ugly behavior - you can FRY your laptop with something like that. I thought that BIOS 3.70 was faulty but unfortunatelly version 3.90 also worthless.

  Furthermore, I can't yet understand why large (70% of the zip file) file of the package to upgrade the BIOS (3.70 and 3.90)... is the portable other flashers log file?

  Your ad, I understand that the screen does not wake up after its entry in the standby or hibernation mode.
  Am I wrong?

  I noticed that Toshiba has released a new version of the Intel graphics driver.
  At this time the update is 02/20/08 and the version is 6.14.10.4831.

  Maybe you should try to update the display driver too check to see if it would help to get rid of this annoying display problem

  I recommend to remove the old version of the graphics driver first, then install the new downloaded driver.

  Mate good luck

• When the capacity of the battery falls Satellite Pro U300 occasionally lose power

  Hello

  I suspect you have a defective battery (standard installed on the laptop) on my new Satellite Pro U300 - 11 k and I wonder if someone had a similar problem.
  When the power drops to 10%, my laptop occasionally loses power. In the range of less than 7% capacity always loses power, i.e. either fails to start the hibernation, or is unable to complete the process (I can always tell if power was lost during hibernation because of the characteristic of the system of protection HD sound). I did several tests, especially in the power saving mode. "High performance" mode power seems to be a little more reliable, but still fails to shut down less than 5% of the capacity. The level of Hibernate by default on the Toshiba Windows Vista pack is as low as 2%, so I can wait until it is able to work at this level.

  Overall the battery capacity is about 1 h (Media Player, fashion high performance, maximum intensity) at all about 2 to 2.5 hours (slowed or text editor, mode, brightness low power saving). Charging time is about 1 hour (seems too short). They are difficult to objectively assess that Toshiba avoids quoting the specifications of the battery, but I consider the question of the reliability of the above as being a serious (do not want to take the risk of damaging the HD). I am considering visiting the service center, but leaving both the computer and the battery with them would be a nuisance for me and I would rather avoid it if I can. I wonder if I can claim the warranty on the battery alone?

  Any suggestions would be welcome.

  Background information:
  -The U300 is a few weeks old.
  -The battery has been fully charged and discharged (approximately 15 times since purchase).
  -Cooldown takes 1 h - 1.5hrs
  -J' using Vista Business
  -J' went through the power settings to make sure they are ok and to change threshold levels
  -I am an experienced business user, I use a laptop computer at work which stops always perfectly to the power level of 3%

  Thanks for help

  Reading your post, I do see no battery issues! Everything you say is right and not a malfunction.
  Please note that the Vista operating system needs much more computing resources and the battery is much more emphasized running Vista!

  Please also note that the level and time to discharge the battery can be different! Everything depands of the use of the laptop!
  All the portable devices and parts waste the power of the battery at the same time and that's why there are differences in the discharge procedure.

  Don t be afraid and take advantage of your laptop but if you think you will need to contact the ASP in order to clarify this issue, then feel free to contact service technician.
  They should be able to help you.

• Satellite Pro U300 PSU31E - two how to adjust the fan speed

  While using the laptop the fan comes in for a few seconds and then stops again, which causes the temperature
  increase... what makes the fan?
  Throttle upward rather than stay in a slow to medium status.

  I'm running Vista Business, but I did ' t find the parameters in this regard.

  In the ACPI BIOS is not accessible, but as already posted my problem looks a bit like this:

  Re: ACPI fan on Satellite L30
  Posted the: 13-Sep-2007 22:08 reply

  The fan goes in cycles like this:
  ------------------
  Less than 50, fan
  When > 55, fan to full
  When< 55,="" fan="" on="">
  When< 50,="" fan="" off="">
  and it continues

  ------------------

  It would be much better than when he went to more than 50 years she just spend on bass, then
  It would never reach 55 and never go up.
  And the laptop would be 100 x more silent.

  Another thing: the Germany from Toshiba support page won't load at all or is the global page
  very slow, using different locations and conections. That I can not retrieve all the information to help me.
  And I do not think the University backbone or my DSL 6 Mbps at home is the problem

  Hello

  The fans begin to turn only if a certain temperature point has been reached.
  These fan table information is stored in the BIOS and cannot be changed.

  Some computers laptops satellite supports an additional option in the Toshiba HWSetup. It allows to change the CPU dynamically switchable or always low frequency mode.
  This would set the temperature to a lower level and the fans would lead occasionally.

  In any case, to my knowledge, this option is not available in the Toshiba HWSetup and not in the BIOS so I guess that it s not possible to control fan behavior.

  By the way; If you wish, you can test a tool like aSpeedFanfreeware.
  This program can control the speed of the fans according to the temperatures of the system.
  Maybe it will work on your Satellite Pro U300

  Good bye

• FN + F10/F11/F12 in Satellite Pro U300 does not work

  Guys,

  need your help...
  I have the Satellite Pro U300 series and most recently the numbers four and six obtained busted... its does not work so I try to use the superposition of numeric keypad but I have observed that after pressing FN + F11 nothing happens...

  Please help me...

  Thank you
  <>

  Hello

  When you use FN + F11 small control LED must be lit and the keypad must be enabled.
  If your laptop is preinstalled with Toshiba recovery image this option SHOULD work correctly.

  So nobody here knows what you did with your laptop and why these options are not available more.
  Before you start with advice how to get this working again once please let us know what operating system is preinstalled on your Satellite Pro U400.

• Satellite Pro U300-14R - no audio detected

  Hi all

  My Satellite Pro U300-14R detects no audio. I tried almost everything to solve this problem, including the update of the BIOS, driver sound driver chipset, etc.

  Still, there is no sound in my system. Not at all even when I load the sound system.

  I checked under sounds and Audio Devices Properties (Control Panel). Everything is disabled.

  Hope that someone would be able to help me.

  See you soon

  George

  Hey,.

  What operating system you have?

  You must install Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, because it contains important fixes for the sound card drivers.

• Satellite Pro U300 OS does not recognize PS/2 Port TouchPad

  I have a similar problem.

  My system doesn't recognize that the PS/2 Port TouchPad exists on my Satellite Pro U300. He acknowledges that it no longer works but when I go to Control Panel then mouse it does not appear in the list of devices.

  Help!

  Hello

  I m do not know what problem describe you exactly.
  Do you mean that your notebook computer touchpad no longer works, or did you mean the USB mouse?

  If you mean touchpad, so you should try to reinstall the driver for the touchpad.
  The European driver Toshiba page provides Synaptics touchpad drivers series Pro U300 for Win XP and Vista.
  But generally the operating system should automatically recognize the touchpad and touchpad should work even using the common internal Windows driver.

  Drivers designed for laptops are changed and adapted to provide performance fairly, but not to force a graphics card to run on the limit. As you probably know there are big difference between office and mobile graphics cards.

  Desktop graphics cards have no limits with cooling and drivers can be updated very often. Design of portable computers is completely different and all hardware components are placed on the square. The common problem with laptops is to design the system of cooling, small but effective.
  Because of all these reasons, display drivers must be tested and adapted by the laptop manufacturers. The main point is to protect the material. The same situation is with other manufacturers of graphics card. They don't offer drivers for laptops.

  If your graphics card will blow that will be responsible for this Toshiba or Intel?

  By the way: Satellite Pro U300 is for me a laptop of small business and certainly not designed for games. Do you agree with me?

• Satellite Pro U300 shows "Unmountable_Boot_Volume" message

  I hope someone can help me...

  I have a Satellite Pro U300 and recently she comes with a stop with the message Unmountable_Boot_Volume error screen.

  Starting the machine, told me that windows did not start properly due to a problem of HW or SW. I gives me the options to start windows normally, go back to the last good configuration known or open in safe mode, however all these lead to the error message Unmountable_Boot_Volume.

  I am responsible to ensure that all new HW or SW is installed correctly and disable them if necessary. However, I have not installed anything recently and the computer was working fine.

  The error message appears for 4 seconds, and then the computer restarts and appears with the same startup message and continues in this circle reboot after each stop error message.

  I'm not a computer whizz as you probably can, but I would be very happy if someone knows what happened to my computer!

  Sometimes the file system can get damaged due to power outages or viruses or bad RAM.

  First of all, you should check the disk for bad sectors. Run the test Advanced in DFT (it is a bootable CD or a floppy disk):
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT

  Then, try to fix the file system by plugging the drive on another PC using a USB 2.5 "SATA HDD adapter. Run CHKDSK on the drive.

  If this does not work, you can try to repair Windows by going to the Recovery Options in the Windows Start Menu (press F8 before Windows starts).
