• 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

• Satellite Pro U300: No connection to the local network after updating BIOS 5.00 - WIN (Vista32)

  Hello!

  After the bios update newest to my Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) Lan Realtek adapter not working anymore. The map shows in Device Manager, but if I connect a cable, nothing happens (it says no cable connected).

  ipconfig-all says:

  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:
  * Ipconfig / renew *.

  PS: Try to also set the default BIOS too.

• 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

  Hello

  you say it s always in the taskbar? Check the autostart folder? Another way may be to use the microsoft sysinternal tools to remove this reminder from startup list. You can also use msconfig, but I guess you have Vista, so it would be better to use sysint...

• Computer freezes on the Welcome screen.

  The Welcome screen comes on instead of take me on my desk.  I found that I can do a ctr/alt/del and that takes me to a screen that gives me options to disconnect, change accounts, etc., and if I hit the button "Cancel" on the screen then I get on the desktop.  What is causing my computer hang up on the home screen?

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• Peut only the boot without failure; A regular boot freezes on the 'Welcome' screen and fades to black

  I use an ASUS laptop and everything was smooth until yesterday earlier.  I tried to start in class and it took a little longer (stopping at the 'Welcome' screen) but I'm starting up normal and thought nothing of him.  I'm going to the House an hour later and try to start and I can just connect to Windows 7 unless I Boot safe with networking.

  I have no idea how to fix this, I have no CD, I have no Windows CD that's at my parents (and anyway was a CD to upgrade), I spent 5 hours essentially pulling my hair out try everything last night and this morning still will not work.  I am now in safe mode.

  I would like to know all the details you guys need and how to get them and I'll probably get them to you immediately because I really need my computer today.  Thank you

  Driver card mother/Chipset should solve this problem.

• Satellite Pro U300 - how to reinstall the system from original Vista operating?

  My Satellite U300 (bought in 2008) came with Vista and a fallback to option of XP pre-installed. I drove back to XP at the time. Now, end of support from Microsoft for XP, I would like to re - install the Vista operating system.
  I have the recovery disks, but there is a wizard to help the resettlement?

  Or is there a function to restore to original factory setting, which I guess would be Vista? (I backed up all my files where a clean install is required). Any help appreciated, thanks.

  I checked the specifications of the laptop and this laptop model was offered with Vista preinstalled and DVD recovery Windows XP Home edition. In General original recovery image can be installed with the recovery disk. You got laptop with Vista pre-installed (without the Vista recovery disk) allowing you to create the Vista recovery disk using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  There is also the option of HARD drive recovery, but it works with the factory only settings. After installing WXP that this HARD drive option will not work more then now you Vista recovery DVDs. Unfortunately in your ad I didn't understand whether or not you have the Vista recovery disk.

  If so, just start your laptop and press F12. When the boot menu appears put Vista recovery disc into the optical disc drive, has chosen the CD/DVD on the list in the menu and press ENTER. ODD will start to read the recovery disc and all what you need to do is follow the menu on the screen.

• 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. ;)

• 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: Need to NDIS drivers to create a Ghost boot disk

  Anyone has any hint where to get?

  I need to create a floppy disk to boot ghost to take an image of a satellite Pro U300 but cannot find the correct drivers to NDIS.

  All current drivers are placed on the page of the Toshiba driver.
  But these drivers are designed for installation only in the windows environment.

  But if you need no special driver for the network you should take a look at the Intel page or do a search on the Microsoft pages too.

  Good luck

• Satellite P850 take about 4 minutes to start Windows after the Welcome screen

  Hey

  My SATELLITE P850 take some time after the Welcome screen to start windows, it was like this the first time that I get it.

  Any help or idea?

  thx a lot

  Have you changed anything in your system or maybe the HARD drive? Did you create a partition?
  4 min to complete the startup process is really long
  Have you installed an antivirus software? Maybe a Norton Antivirus?
  I got this software installed on my laptop and it took an eternity to boot the system.
  I replaced Norton Antivirus with free ware software called Avast!.
  Now the Windows starts for 30 sec
