Satellite U300 - F2 to enter Setup, F12 to access the selection of Multiboot Menu

Hello

I recently bought a portable Satellite U300 and sometimes when I turn on the laptop the screen message says:

Press F2 to enter Setup, F12 to access the selection of Multiboot Menu

I press F2 and F12 but there is no answer.
First of all, why I get this message on the screen instead of being connected to the laptop as she normally does?

Secondly, why the F2 and F12 does not?
I hope that someone can offer excellent advice!

Regards, Barry

Hello Barry

This menu is available on all laptops with Phoenix BIOS version. As people say this message, choose F2 or F12, but not both at the same time.

Press F2 and keep portable start it toward the low during a few seconds and the BIOS settings should appear on the screen. It is the same with F12.
Believe me, I did this 100 times on several equipped laptops BIOS Phoenix and two options appear whenever I want to use.

  • Satellite U300-11 q: don't dΘmarre without the battery

    Hi all,

    I bought the model Satellite U300-11 q about a month ago, and I have the following problem: if I have it on current alternative, and I do not have the battery, it is dΘmarre! In fact, it loads the BIOS and just before it starts to load Windows (Vista) it shuts down, as if someone unplug it from the power supply. The strange thing is that after all attempts of 5-6 in the line, it starts, and it turns that I use.

    Any idea on what is happening?

    Thanks in advance!

    The laptop must begin properly with battery and without the battery.
    There should be no problem!

    If the laptop does not start successfully without the battery, then there's something wrong. In this case, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for a control.
    The guarantee must be valid if the laptop is only one month. So everything should be done for free!

  • Satellite U300-13U - iTunes has detected a problem with the audio configuration

    Please can someone help me? I have a laptop U300-13U and that you have installed iTunes on it. However, when I open iTunes I get an error message saying 'iTunes has detected a problem with the audio configuration and may not play correctly' which is an understatement - it does not at all!

    I uninstalled, reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime, but in vain. I have searched and exhausted the iTunes support boards but have nowhere either. The sound is fine as I can read CDs with no problems at all. The only suggestion I can get is that there may be a problem with the audio device magnet is not Apple and vice versa.

    Does anyone have AN idea at all as to what might be going on here? I'm completely out of my depth, I'm just a simple girl who wants to play his music!

    Thank you so much.

    Hello

    I don t use iTunes so I m not an expert player but first of all, you must give us some important information:
    -What operating system do you use?
    -Are you using the factory settings (Toshiba Recovery disk) or your own version of Windows
    -Do you have the yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager?

    OK, iTunes says that there is an audio configuration problem so do you trying to update the audio driver? If this isn't the case, you should try it.
    See the Web from Toshiba site for an update and see what happens. Then validate your result:

  • Satellite L670-1HJ-speakers interns are not silent during the selection of line output

    I want to use an external set of speakers, but when plugged, selection of output in the Realtek HD Audio Manager disables the internal speakers, instead only reduce their volume a little. Selection headset does not switch their stop, but this causes audio being sent to the levels of helmet, which sounds terrible on normal speakers and is therefore not an option.

    Is there a way I can get it to turn them off when you use output line too or just disable the internal speakers in total?

    Have you checked all the available sound settings?
    Open the properties of the sound > playback devices and try to disable the speakers out there.

    I only helmet and, unfortunately, can not test it for you, but there must be an option where you can turn off the internal speakers.

  • Satellite U300 - I get BSOD memory dump problem

    Hello

    Can anyone help? I got my U300 for a week and the first time I turned it on it had problems in Vista Setup process.
    He seemed to recover. I now get the dreaded blue screen with dump of memory on this subject, saying I have to restart the pc.

    Then it takes ages to restart because the hard drive light blinks and then turns off.

    Do you think I should contact Toshiba I installed virtually any software on it? or would u reinstalled Windows?

    See you soon
    Becks

    First, you must use the Toshiba Recovery CD to reinstall the OS in this Satellite U300.
    Eventually it s something wrong with the OS installed and the new facility could help to solve this problem.

    But if the same thing will happen after the installation of the new operating system, then you should contact the ASP in your country for a control of the laptop.

  • Satellite U300 - Play/Pause key media with Winamp

    Hello!

    I recently received a Satellite U300. Windows XP SP3. Media at the top of the keyboard control keys are recognized fine in Winamp 5.5 except the button Play/Pause. I tried to use other programs, but nothing seems to recognize the presses of the button play/pause, while all others (including the volume knob) are recognized as standard multimedia keys. I was wondering if the key on my laptop may be broken or if this was due to the installation of the given key.

    Also, I was wondering if it was possible to prevent wheel volume adjust the volume of the main system, or making set set small increments - at present rotating adjusts the Winamp both volumes of main system at the same time.

    Thank you!

    > I was wondering if the key on my laptop may be broken or if this was due to the installation of the given key.

    It s not a fault and the keys are definitely not broken.
    Usually, these controls Toshiba Utilities are designed to control the software like Windows Media Player (CD) or WinDVD (DVD).
    Other 3rd party applications may have problems using these buttons because of the compatibility issue. But once again; This is not a fault.

  • Upgrade memory 667 Mhz for Satellite U300

    Hello

    I have a new Satellite u300-11v and I was hoping to upgrade the memory standard modules of current 2 x 1 GB 2 x 2 GB ddr800 for a max speed of memory. However, after looking at intels site for specifications of the chipset for my machine (its got an intel mobile GM965 chipset) it seems that it will only support up to 667 mhz RAM modules.

    Reading a little further, I think that if I have a memory at 667 mhz bus it can only be reached through the module 1 x 2 GB at 667 mhz. Currently I put 2 x 2 GB 667 modules in the machine, the default memory bus at 533 mhz.
    I watched chipset specs of your laptop (945GM) while I was on the site intels and your in the same boat as me.

    Heres so the dilemma: you have just 1 x 2 GB 667 MHz memory to get this speed little extra memory or go for 2 x 2 GB to the slowest to 533 mhz to accommodate all these massive windows page file.

    For me, have family Vista premium running on a machine that can bring together only a bus 533 mhz memory with 4 GB of ram is not acceptable while I will now go back to XP pro which is not so heavy on resources.

    Did you really notice the difference between the memory 533 MHz bus and memory 667 MHz modules?

    Of course, there is a small difference in performance, but you will never get a performance gain by using the modules of 667 MHz instead of 553 Mhz modules.

  • Problem with HDD Protection - Satellite U300 - 14 p

    I just bought my Satellite U300 - 14 p and installed windows XP SP3 0.5508 (deletion of Vista that comes with it), with a custom windows XP, boot disk [nLite 1.4.1 | http://www.nliteos.com/index.html] (to include the SATA driver and set up my preferences, such as themes, etc.).

    I followed the instructions (installation order) that are on the Drivers Toshiba Download Page and everything goes well until the moment of the installation "TOSHIBA HDD Protection"(v2.0.1.7)", where I get the error message:

    "TOSHIBA HDD Protection only is not supported on this model".

    Because I downloaded the driver for Windows XP and my computer model (Satellite U300 - 14 p) I do not understand what the problem is.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi mate,

    you already updated your BIOS version? It could be that the BIOS does not correctly both support it s worthy to try.

    Otherwise I wouldn know why this error message is displayed.

  • Satellite U300 - How can I take it apart?

    Hello all, it seems that my machine is running hotter and hotter (temperature of base) and the fan is all the time.

    In my view, the machine would benefit from a good old clean inside the dust.
    I scoured the web for a (detailed that I'm not an expert) disassemble the guide to open it and clean it, but I failed to find it.

    Is anyone aware of a guide on how to do it on this machine?

    Thank you

    Hello!

    I put t know how to disassemble the Satellite U300, but these technical manuals are not for the public. Only an authorized service provider has such manuals.
    Maybe you will find a work around in the internet, but don t forget that laptop disassembly is a little tricky and you delete a large number of parts and screws.
    In my opinion it's better, you go to an ASP.

    But if you want to clean the laptop, you can use compressed air jet. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.
    Check it!

  • Re-setup of Satellite U300-PSU30E

    Hi all!

    I'm sorry if I make a double thread, but I could not seem to be able to find relevant information in other threads. If anyone knows please give me a link to my question.

    I have a Satellite U300 with Windows Vista Home Edition. It's been several months and I want to do a cleaning and replacement is my best choice. When I skipped this step, I discovered that my laptop has two a hidden to recovery and a dvd recovery partition. I found nothing in the Handbook for the recovery process. So my question is I need the CD and the partition to restore my computer to original state or I only need one of them?

    Any assistance or sharing of experience would be really appreciated!

    If you talk about this WinRE 1.5 GB partition I can tell that this partition belongs to Vista and it is typical of Vista. If you want to know more about that please Google around. You can find a lot of useful pages with detailed information on its use.
