• 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: Cannot see the HARD drive during the installation of XP

  Due to the restrictions of the network must downgrade the operating system on a new satellite Pro U300. I am unable to run the XP + sp2 cd as it says there is no hard drive installed on the machine. I guess it's because I need 3 scsi drivers or third-party raid.

  Does anyone have these or know a place where I can get my hands on them? Or am I completely off the mark that you have another solution?

  Hello

  You need the Intel Matrix Storage Management utility for the management of your local storage, including the RAID support.

  On the European driver Toshiba page I found Robson tea for Vista package which includes the Intel Matrix Storage Management utility.

  The same can be downloaded from the Intel page for the XP operating system.

  I found this on the page of Intel:
  http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Filter_Results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName = Windows * + XP + Professional & lang = eng & strOSs = 44 & submit = Go %21

  Something similar is described here in this thread.

• 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.

• 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! :)

• Can not install the latest driver from Intel on my Satellite Pro U300-10 display

  Hello

  Intel has recently, a new display driver, which I think is useful to me because it won't let me play games that require:
  Pixel Shader PS1.1
  Vertex Shader VS 1.0
  "Act of war" and others.

  The pilot is the revision of the pilot: 15.12.4.1666, March 5, 2009
  It is supossed to be the latest driver for the video card U300: MOBILE INTEL 965 Express chipset family.

  The problem is that when I try to install, I have an error that says: "not for this system, ask your provider manufacturer.

  How can I install or where I could find the solution?

  I have TOSHIBA Satellite Pro U300-10 with Windows Vista Business 32.
  MOBILE INTEL 965 Express chipset family
  MOBILE INTEL GMA X 3100

  Thank you much in advance.

  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 BIOS update BACK

  Anyone know if I can upgrade the BIOS of my Satellite Pro u300 from a floppy boot BACK, or another way to do an update without Windows? The downloaded utility seems to work only in Windows, I do not use.

  I tried to launch a live Windows CD (BartPE and Ultimate boot CD) but it does not start or shows no graphics.

  I have problems with some hardware and hopes that an update of the BIOS.

  Thank you.

  No, you can not day BACK because Toshiba driver BIOS European page provides only the version of the BIOS win.

  For an update of the BIOS BACK you would need an update of the special BIOS that is not published on the page and is available for Toshiba technicians!

• 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.

  Good bye

• Indicator of volume on a Satellite Pro U300

  Hi all

  East-indicator of volume on a satellite pro U300 exist? And if so which tool/applet/driver installs?

  Thanks in advance.
  George

  Hmm, your post is a little confusing.
  As far as I know the Satellite Pro U300 unit was equipped with the sound volume controller, and this can be found on the left side near the headphone and microphone Sockets.

  You need only an audio driver for the sound card woking... that's all

• Windows 7 on Satellite Pro U300

  Hello

  I wanted to know if someone had tried to install Windows 7 on a Satellite Pro U300.

  I've heard that there are some problems like drivers, for example. Back at the Office I had tried to install Windows 7 on a Dell desktop computer and installed successfully with no problems at all. With the exception of a few drivers without importance, everything seems to be ok and all this after a new installation of the operating system. I'm a bit on the backfoot to try such a blow on my laptop. I read somewhere in the site Web of Toshiba laptops this year buying will support Windows 7.

  I bought mine last year and it comes preinstalled with Vista professional I found so irritating performance wise and I have it downgraded to Windows XP, which always runs smooth and fine. So I was wondering, if I had to install Windows 7 on my laptop, drivers Vista will be useful or so I have to wait until I have find suitable drivers who would take time to find.

  Hoping to see your suggestions.

  Praveen

  Hello

  Of course, you could install Win 7 on this laptop
  But you won't find the official Win 7 drivers for this unit.

  You can try to install drivers from the beta version of Windows 7 that I found on the Toshiba page us but I'm not quite sure if all drivers would be compatible

  But don t give up dude. You could try to bring together pilots to hand clean looking on some 3rd party pages
  Most of the drivers for common parts must be available

  Thanks for your advice!

  Hello

  In your case I would uninstall the Realtek LAN driver.
  Can I visit the Realtek and download and reinstall the latest LAN driver.

  In addition, in the DOS command window, you can try to run this command:

• Satellite Pro U300 very slow opening programs

  Hi all

  I bought a Satellite Pro U300 in February 2008 and I only use it 3 - 4 times since then... It is very slow at the opening of the programs (I have only one statistical program installed) and Web pages and creates problems when I try to download other programs that have a different version of Windows Vista.
  I really regretted buying this phone and I'm looking for someone to sell.

  Until I do, I was wondering if I could uninstall Windows Vista and install Windows XP for example, or do anything else that would make my phone fun to use.

  Hello

  The preinstalled operating system ran slowly because many applications are running in the background.
  My laptop was slow too to experience of applications have been disabled.

  You can disable in MSCONFIG.
  Type msconfig window RUN and check the Startup tab.
  You will find the software that could slow down the operating system.

  With regard to the installation of Win XP.
  Yes, you can also install Win XP. By using the Win XP laptop should be little faster because Win XP doesn t need a lot of material resources.

• Satellite Pro U300 - it just freezes and makes a noise

  Hello!

  I think I have a very similar problem!
  Since I bought my computer happens but not on startup. When I'm with her, she just freezes, makes a loud noise and I can't do anything to turn off, I need to use the same radical technique! Hold the reset button and sometimes I need to remove my battery.
  Now, it happens almost every day.

  I don't know how to run these disc harder than self-test or BIOS, try to find out what the problem with my computer. I have a Satellite Pro U300. Could someone help me?
  I hope that we will find what's wrong.
  Ah! Now I use windows 7 and Vista and the problem happens both...

  Thanks in advance,

  Fernanda

  Hi fefalm,

  If you have this problem, because you bought your computer, why you didn t contact a service provider authorized to solve the problem or ask a seller for a replacement one?
  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact the nearest authorized service provider!

  If that happens on different operating systems, it seems to be a malfunction of the equipment. Theoretically, it could be related to the HARD drive or another part

  The HARD disk, you can test with special diagnostics as Drive Fitness Test Tools. ask Google to find.
