Satellite U300 - gel on the homepage

Hi all!

I have a problem with my old Satellite U300 for 2 years.
Never had any problems with it, except last year when it started to freeze on the Toshiba homepage.

I push the power button, then the disc hard starts but stops immediately and is stuck at the home page.

Hotline of Toshiba told me that it was a problem of use of the area of energy and the battery at the same time at the launch of the computer.
So I tried their stuff. Removed the sector of energy and the battery for 20 seconds and try to restart the toshiba.
Sometimes, it works. Sometimes it takes 3 restarts to make it work.
Does anyone have another idea about the origin of the problem?

I have not reinstalled vista again because I said it was not the problem.
Thanks a lot for your answers

Hello

May I ask which welcome page you mean exactly? Do you hear the Windows Welcome page or the Toshiba BIOS screen if you have turned on the laptop?

To be honest, if you reinstalled Vista using Toshiba recovery disk it doesn t seem to be a software problem so I think it has something to do with the material

    I am using Toshiba Satellite U300-15 q and it has a vga output, so I bought a cable and a box that transfers analog signal to VGA to hdmi digital so that I can connect to my Sony TV are 32 '.

    But if I connect it it says on the tv in video format not supported in yellow letters.

  • Strange devices satellite U300-15 after the new installation of 64 bit Vista

    I just got my Toshiba Satellite U300-159 (model No. PSU30E-07901NN5)

    It was a display model used in the store where I bought, so I wanted to do a clean install.
    Using the recovery cd did not work. (Something about some files than couln can't be read).
    It is a really bothers me not at all because I want to run it with a clean Vista anyway, so I jumped into a Vista Home Premium 64-Bit UK + SP1 and installed it.

    After that the installation was done, I ran windows update to get a little more drivers for the few items that not have installed correctly.

    After that almost everything worked very well.

    Except:
    I had two entries in the called Device Manager device Base System. They are found under 'other devices '.
    I have looked around the site of toshiba for the drivers, but can't find anything that seemed as if it was the thing that I was missing.
    (Actually I'm not sure I've found the correct support page. I learned to http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp and was able to select 3 versions of U300. U300 - ST3091, ST3092-U300, U300-ST3094)

    Everything on the PC works well: card reader, bluetooth, graphics card, wireless + LAN cable, keyboard shortcuts, sounds etc.
    The only thing that is not working is when I put it in mode "Eve". The screen goes black, the powerled stays on and the fans continue to operate. It is not possible to bring him back again if.

    Does anyone have an idea where to find these drivers?
    Or maybe just sort the problem of sleep difficulty?

    I reinstalled using the recovery CD and choose another language and thus skip the defective cd.
    But the sleep problem was still there.

    An update of the bios, mentioned in this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=32002&tstart=15 solved the problem.

    I have always an idea that both devices are well...

  • Re: Satellite U300 hibernates when the battery is very low

    Hello

    I bought my satellite U300 141 two weeks ago.
    The computer is not put into hibernation when the battery is very low.

    I checked the settings of vista, default 2% of the battery capacity, the laptop must Hibernate. But mine is not.
    But I noticed that the battery level does not fall below 5%. I tried to change the setting of vista from 2% to 5%, but it has no effect.

    Telephone toshiba support told me to update the package of the value 'stretched out' or something like that, but it has no impact too.
    the problem is still there.

    Anyone have an answer?
    I also tried to update the BIOS, but during the upgrade process, the software told me that I can't because I'm not the administrator of the computer, I am sure I am.

    so, if someone can help me please...

    Please check first if hibernation was enabled in Vista power options.
    Then you can assign to hibernation level up to 10%

    Maybe then your laptop will be able to enter hibernation mode

  • Satellite U300 - Internet Explorer 7 stops when closing a tab

    Hi all!!

    I have a new laptop Satellite U300 and since the first day I bought it, I have a problem with Internet Explorer 7 (Vista). Whenever I get close a tab it will stop automatically.

    The same thing happens when I open two windows of IE.
    When I close a tab in one of them, the two windows stops.
    I tried and installed all updates from Microsoft, but not solve them.

    Can someone get a hint what to do?

    Thnaks

    Hello

    You cannot close the tab if only a tab appears in the window of IE 7.

    Start multiple tabs in a single window of IE 7 and then try the CTRL + W key combination.
    This will work and will close the tabs only until a tab is

  • Would Satellite U300-11V running Vista Home Premium 64?

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U300-11V

    The laptop came with Vista Home Premium (32) and I would like to upgrade to the 64-bit version and I wonder if my hardware is actually compatible with it.

    I tried the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor, but that had nothing to do with 32 vs 64...

    You can find the full specifications of my laptop to the:
    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=132428&disc _ MODEL = 1 & service = UK & tab = 2 #2

    Any suggestion would be deeply appreciated

    Kind regards
    R

    Of course, it s compatible with Vista 64 bit OS.
    Satellite U300-11V belongs to the series of PSU30E.
    I checked the European driver Toshiba page if a 64 bit Vista drivers are available, but unfortunately, they are not released.

    However, you would be able to install Vista 64-bit on your laptop, but you have to collect the drivers Vista 64 bit unique from other series of laptop.

    Several series of laptops are equipped with the same features and sometimes, you can use the same drivers on different laptops.

  • Satellite U300 unable to operate after the Vista upgrade installation

    A couple of days, I did a Windows Vista upgrade on my laptop Satellite U300 and since that time, my computer does not work. He tried to self-diagnose this himself, he told me to shut down the computer and restart. I do that and then the! 0xc0190036! 4099/69249 (Security-Licensing-SLC-Component-SKU-Home...) appears with a black background. I tried to launch the product recovery disc but computer wouldn't it.

    Can someone offer me some tips?

    Kind regards

    Barry

    Hello

    It's very strange
    How have you tried to install the operating system recovery disc?

    Boot you from the CD and have you followed the instructions on the screen?
    Or what is exactly happening?

    Usually, the recovery disk must format the whole HARD drive and the laptop to the factory settings.
    In addition, the Vista is already activated and it s not necessary to put keys series.

    I see in the error message something about safety licenses. I m not very well what this may be, but perhaps could be a problem with activation, who knows?  :|
    But as I said above, the Vista on the recovery disk is already enabled.

  • Need recommendation about the hardware upgrade - Satellite U300-130

    Hello seniors and technical experts.
    I have Satellite U300-130 notebook. Then I put my Satellite U300-130 with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM and also I cannot add new hard drive. I mean I have 2 HDD in my laptop. Please need advice because I am not a technical person.

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with the user above. You can use up to 4 GB of DDR2 RAM in your laptop, new DDR2 modules are not possible. I have good experiences with the manufacturing of Kingston.

    As far as I know Satellite U300 doesn t support two hard drives are not possible in Satellite U300. You can only exchange the current model with a bigger. ;)

  • Satellite U300-15s - WARNING: Impossible to be able to control the Volume.

    Here are once again this return number...
    I have 100 forums comments, tried several methods but without success.

    First of all, some background: I have a Satellite U300-15 s, I had to install under XP SP2 for business purposes (sold with Vista). The audio chip is a Realtek ALC268. I reformatted the whole drive, wipping on the Vista recovery partition. My XP SP2 is a Version 5.1 (serial number 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301 - 1519: Service Pack 2) in English (menus in French). The sound worked under Vista. I installed all the Windows XP drivers supplied by Toshiba on their web site. I updated the BIOS to the version of 15/12/08. When I use the sound mute button, I see the changing icon to mute to mute not (and vice versa).

    For the audio drivers, once I discovered this problem, I tried:
    -install directly from Realtek drivers out of their website (version 2.12) (uninstall the toshiba drivers, reboot, install the realtek drivers, reboot)
    -install the KB888111 and KB198658 (uninstall the audio drivers, install 1 KB, reboot, install second KB, restart, install the audio drivers toshiba, reboot)

    Indeed, I tried to reinstall the drivers 10' th time, including multi reboot.

    Does anyone of you have an idea?

    Hello

    The right question is known to me because I had also after installing Win XP.

    The problem is that you need to install MS patches first;
    * KB835221 * and * KB888111 *.

    All laptops with Realtek audio chip needs these patches from Microsoft!
    After installing the MS patches, you should follow with the audio driver installation.

    Secondly, please follow the order of driver installation mentioned in the installation instructions txt file that is located on the European driver Toshiba page!

    Last but not least, you should know that the softwarw controls Toshiba is also responsible for Volume control, don t forget to reinstall.

    Oh. I forgot to mention that your Satellite U300-15 s belongs to the series of PSU30E!
    Choose this option in the form of driver download.

  • Satellite U300-14 b: can I use the graphics driver for the Intel page?

    My Satellite U300-14 b (VIsta 32 bit Home Premium, 2 GB) has a 'Mobile GM945 Express Chipset Intel'. Download from Toshiba site, says I've got the latest driver, namely 7.14.10.1263 dated 04/25/07.

    The Intel site lists their latest driver such as in date 7.14.10.1364 dated 11/12/07.

    I want to try the latest version of the driver to help solve a problem of occasional crash / restart when Vista wakes from sleep. I am told that the graphics drivers are often to blame and should therefore be updated.

    Can I safely updated with version 11/12/07, or I risk of problems? Not sure if Toshiba are just slow to release the updated driver, or if there is a better reason that they did not?

    Well, usually you can use the graphic driver directly from Intel page but I found several threads here in the forum that said that the chart non-Toshiba drivers can be installed and used only at your own risk

    > want to try the latest version of the driver to help solve a problem of occasional crash / restart when Vista wakes from sleep
    Hmm perhaps this problem could be related to the graphics driver, but I recommend you to update to Vista and install all THE patches for Vista.

  • 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.
