Should I really Satellite A300?

I thought that I was the proud owner of an A300: Intel 2 x 2, 66 GHz, 4 GB, 2 x 500 GB HHD, ATI HD4650m 1 GB, 17 ". Try to find a driver for XP SATA, I noticed that all the Satellite has a short-series format as by PS_ * A * _ *. Mine is by PS_ * P * _CCE. According to the format system, which would imply that it is a series of Satellite P. But the label clearly A300-23F. I also started to doubt the info on the label, cause SATA XP for the A300 driver does not include the AHCI Intel ICH9M-E/M, which - depending on the direction of Vista system - is the controller being used.

1: I have an A - or a P-series?

2: is there a driver available for my controller ICH9M-E/M SATA for XP?

Gr.,
Rob

Hello

Satellite A300-23F belongs to the PSAGCE series.
So at the bottom of the device, you should see the number of model for example like this: PSAGCE-0CN00JRU

If your model number starts with PSPCCE-xxxxxxxx so it's not A300 but P300.

The SATA for Satellite P300 series drivers are placed in the package Intel Robson!
(file-> Winall\driver)
You can find it on the European driver Toshiba page!

  • Satellite A300 - screen goes really bright

    After that I connect everything works well on my Satellite A300, but after a minute or so, the screen gets really bright, can someone there help me with this problem? Thank you.
    Games like cod4 work fine without any extra brightness.

    As far as I know Vista there are 7 levels of display brightness. To be honest, I can't imagine that is the lower, for you, too bright, but all we have own opinion on it. Just for example, for my daily work, I use level 6. I don't like the maximum level.

    So there is not much you can do. Power settings choose your preferred plan (I use BALANCED) and set the brightness of the display. This plan will be loaded whenever you start your laptop and you can work on your laptop by using the lowest level of brightness.

    That's all that I can say about it.

    Please note that the features of laptops Toshibas controls most of the pre-installed software and if you would like to uninstall these applications then some of these features will not work.

    In addition it s not necessary to do a clean install, if you don t want to use some software just remove from the system by using the options in the Windows system!

  • Satellite A300 restarts randomly when it is plugged in power chords

    I know it has been on many topics and forums before but-

    Satellite A300 Toshiba registered repairman after only another technician claimed the question was the motherboard.

    So a new hard drive had to be replaced (it was old age) by registered repairer.

    Graphics card died - map is part of the motherboard = motherboard replaced.

    Supposed to win - phone to make sure everything is well = "there still the issue."

    QUESTION = RANDOM COMPUTER RESTARTS WHEN THE POWER CORD IS PLUGGED

    Don't forget not that the shop has been informed of the initial question
    1. phone call.
    2. by myself (wife) when I dropped the camera repair
    3. in the drop by my husband via phone
    4. by myself at diagnosis
    5 once again by my man when diagnostics
    6. by my man when he discussed the hard drive with 2 people at the store options
    7. after replacing hard drive
    8. by myself when new montherboard was "mandatory".
    9. my man at the same point

    So you can imagine today is both 10th, 11th and 12th, the store has been said that they do not listen

    I got to say REGISTERED REPAIRER WHAT TOSHIBA to TROUBLE THE PROBLEM!

    NOW for my NEXT question.

    On all THE forums I have read about it, I always come back to the same answer - replace NEC/CATHERINE Proadlizer

    However, in looking at the published images and instructions I now get the image that this is part of the motherboard also. This is why I wonder how actually to our brand new motherboard installed days ago!

    If the capacitor is part of the motherboard I think which was replaced why this question is STILL being implemented?

    If not where is it located?

    At our graphics card on the old Board REALLY dead?
    Or was this like the last technician and as demonstrated - surprisingly not listening?

    All related information (and directions to give the tech) would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    I'm really sorry to hear that you have such problems after Exchange of motherboard and I really don't understand why service is not properly check and test the features of the laptop.
    To discuss these issues is quite complicated because we can only speculate what may be the problem and no one can say with certainty why this happens.

    In my opinion all you can do is to do some tests and try to do a rational conclusion, but in the end service should solve the problem.

    Just a few questions about described:
    Everything is OK is when you use the power supply battery?
    How it works with power supply current when the battery is removed?
    Start the machine and enter the BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and check if computer laptop turns off again?
    What operating system do you use? Are you using the original OS that you got with the A300 or clean install of the OS?

  • Recovery Disc Creator Error - Satellite A300-1GN

    First of all, sorry for my English, but it is not my mother tongue. On my problrm, short and simple technique:
    I use Toshiba Satellite A300-1GN with Vista 32 bit. I tried to create a recovery using Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator disc.

    I inserted a new DVD disc in the DVD burner and program was working fine but suddenly that he will miss just give an error with something like that 'there was an error in the calibration of reinforcement sector. "Error code: 0E01B5-26-00037304"

    What's wrong?

    What should I do to create the disc of tha? I can only add, that I turned my system of any virus just as it was said in manual Toshiba, but it did not help.

    Pleas, help.

    Hello

    I agree with the codes for the TDKs are not bad and I had a very good experience with these media.
    I tried to burn the recovery disk using another brand and I've damaged 3 DVD + R discs
    Then I went to the TDK DVD - R and it is ok

    I think that questions is related to the question of the compatibility between the discs and the STRANGE...
    So it of really worth to test different media!

    Good luck

    Hi mate

    To be honest I wonder about these questions.
    Windows 7 is fully supported and normally you should get no problems with Windows 7 running on Satellite A300.

    The Windows 7 drivers are available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. T
    for this I put t expect serious problems.

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask the people here in the community. :)

  • Satellite A300: cannot start: blocked by Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility

    {SUMMARY: "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility" appears every time you start, requesting a non-existent password.} How to get rid of this request? }

    This one is a little weird. We have a Tosh Satellite A300-193 mobile (Code manufacturer: PSAJ1E-01000XEN) purchased from July 2008 (via Getech educational scheme). We have (had) Kaspersky Anti-virus on this subject, but since his license has expired (and they didn't really like it), I was going to remove and install Avast.

    Kasperky removal instructions involve have their tool "kavremove" who say their instructions must be run in safe mode. So, after downloading the tool, I pressed F8 to boot into safe mode...

    ... And that's where things went wrong. Instead of typical black screen startup options screen, I got a splash screen at the level type, with a request for password of "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility. We have never set a password on this computer, and I've never seen this particular screen before. After three bad guess (of course they're wrong!, and it does not matter if I leave the field blank), the unit turns off.

    Now when I turn it on, it just goes right to the request for password of Phoenix: I hit F2, F12, F8 or whatever it is. I can't establish why it should do, or how I can possibly bypass it. None of my password guess work (of course).

    I googled for hours (literally), closes the thing, I could find were instructions in [a post on the forum USA | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Windows-Vista-Windows-XP/Satellite-A205-Cannot-Access-BIOS/m-p/123075#M7749]. It was a partial solution: we can start the machine with this procedure (phew!).

    Unfortunately, it is not a permanent solution. After EACH stop, at the next start-up presents impossible demand "password." So it comes to pull the battery (again), to the phase of "discharging", battery, turn on and - it boots. Or at least, he has every time so far.

    This is going to be extremely painful. Any tips or to tackle the problem of pointers, which would be welcome. I will never see this request for password "Setup Utility".

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I think the password loss is the BIOS password.
    I m wondering why this password is displayed when starting if you have not set it

    However, the point is that the BIOS password can be removed if you n t know this password.
    Unknown BIOS password can be removed by a Toshiba authorized service partner.

  • Satellite A300 - pad touch dead after update BIOS 2.20

    Hello

    exact model is Satellite A300 PSAGCA-06M01N under Win XP.

    I had a problem with the webcam, and I read in the forum that it can be solved by a BIOS update. so, I advanced and downloaded the latest version of the BIOS on the site of toshiba, especially for my laptop model. It went quite well with no error.

    However when the computer restarts after that the BIOS updated my touchpad no longer works.
    I went to Device Manager and could still see the Synaptics touchpad device and it says "this device is functioning correctly. but its completely dead and will not respond with the 2 keys. before I updated the BIOS I never had any problems with it.

    I tried FN + F9, nothing helps. plugged in a USB mouse and it works without any problem. In fact, when I plugged in the mouse the synaptics software says "Deactivation of the key because of the external pointing device" for the device driver for the touchpad works.

    If I remove the mouse, it will say the touchpad is restored, but it still doesn't work. restarted several times and still the same problem. went into BIOS and chose "default" not still a no go.

    Can someone offer any advice or ideas please?
    I really need the touchpad for the way I use the laptop...

    Hello

    In many cases, the touchpad (pointing device) can be enabled and disabled in the BIOS.
    I think you should check if this option is available in BIOS and if so, check whether it should be enabled.

  • Satellite A300 has a bad power plug overheating easily and freezes a lot

    I got my Satellite A300 about 10 months ago. There always have a badly taken power.
    A little tugging or pulling up to my laptop, the power cable when falls.
    Is intended for it be loose? Does anyone else have this problem?
    I don't know if I should use my warranty to have it checked.

    I also overheating, blacken and freezing problems.

    Hello Teresah

    I wonder really after that 10 months you did nothing to solve this power plug the question.
    Why don't you contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider? I guess that laptop has guaranteed valid and these issues can be fixed for free.

    Be careful with this stuff power and contact the service as soon as possible. I don't know where you live but the complete list of all authorized Toshiba service providers you can find on the Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > download & support > find an ASP.

    With the service guys, you can also discuss abut all other issues you mentioned in this announcement.
    I am also owners A300 and use my laptop about a year now. I use my laptop every day for my work and it runs more than 8 hours a day. So far, I did not notice any hardware or software problem. I ve defined the parameters of power management the balanced diet combined with the minimum level set in the cooling method option. Laptop runs quiet and, at the same time, has enough power for my daily activities as Internet, office applications and Skype.

    It is not easy to say what the problem with your laptop, but I recommend you contact the closest service Toshiba and to clarify these issues.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite A300-1GN and driver Vista x 64 support

    Hello

    I own this model for 2 days (happy?).
    However he seemes logically that if this laptop can support up to 8 GB of RAM (I bought with 4 GB) should have option to install the x 64 operating system.
    It seems, but it's not like I know. There is no drivers for x 64 on the official website of Toshiba download MS Systems.
    Well, I'm able to understand that you do not want to support Win XP x 64, because this system is aging.

    I do not understand how it is possible that every major company supports Vista x 64 to their devices and Toshiba are not.

    It seems absurd that you not deliver the proper drivers and I really can't believe that.
    I am amazing and I hope that the main reason is that the product I own is a new model and drivers soon appears.

    For example, satellite A200 has x 64 support despite the fact that it is a model lower and lower...
    I hope that we can hope that our doubts will explain, and Toshiba will be slight not their longer custommers, but bows to our requests.

    If I can be wrong to seek the necessary drivers, then want to apologize for my post.
    But if I'm wrong I'll be glad to hear the rational response and make sure the drivers coming soon!

    Hi Kuba

    Satellite A300 is one of the new series of Toshiba laptop on the market right now.
    Because most of the people uses the run Vista and Win XP 32 bit OS, drivers for these operating systems must be released first.
    I m sure that the driver 64 bit Vista will follow as other as for other series of laptops

    There is therefore no reason panic buddy

  • Impossible to install Vista on Satellite A300 PSAGCE - not ACPI compliant

    Hello

    I'm recovering the laptop from a friend.
    He has installed Windows XP on its Satellite A300 PSAGCE and concluded that of course XP 32-bit Windows does not support the full functionality of the laptop.

    Now I wanted to reinstall Vista that came with it. I have two recovery DVD but when I wanted to start them (them two DVDs) I always get the error message that the system is not fully ACPI-compatible.

    Now of course this laptop should work with Vista and the provided restore DVD should work as well, no?
    I tried to download a Bios nw, but it seems 1.10 is the most recent.

    I also can't find all the ACPI settings in the BIOS that I could activate.

    Could someone help me?
    It is really urgent and driving me crazy!

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Strange! Usually, if you have created the DVD recovery Toshiba using the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator then everything should work correctly and you should be able to install Vista on this A300!

    I put t know if you have changed something in the BIOS or elsewhere, but you should access the BIOS and should define the default settings.
    Then try to boot from the recovery DVD Toshiba again.

  • The function key does not work on Satellite A300 (PSAG4E)

    Hello!

    I have laptop Satellite A300-PSAG4E
    I had installed sp3 WinXPPro on it. All great, but some problems with keys appeared.
    First - 6 functional keys above main keyboard (1 - light (?), 2 - multimedia player (?), 3 - play/pause, 4 - stop, 5 - prev, 6 - then) just change light when they pressed, but in OS, there is no action.
    Second - by pressing the Fn key and, e.g. F2 cause no action

    All drivers and programs has been downloaded and installed from toshiba support center. Should what information I provide to solve this problem?

    Hey,.

    What you mean exactly if you write about the replacement of the lamp if you press the buttons of enlightenment? Change the color or what's happening exactly on the laptop?
    Normally the buttons of the illumination and the XP to Toshiba control controls pilot, utilities, etc.

    Using the FN + F2 key combination you can change between the profiles of different powers. Therefore, you need Toshiba Power Saver that can be downloaded on the page of Toshiba. It s really a tool where you can adjust the power and cooling settings.
