• Satellite Pro A300: No volume indicator displays on the screen

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A300 with a volume knob. When you change the volume to use, it works (even if this does not work as the starting system which is really annoying, especially when you turn it on every day in a library) However there are usually no witnesses screen to show at what level the volume is at. Once, I saw a display flag which seemed to be apart Toshiba Hot Key Utility but it disappeared again after a reboot.

  It is really impossible to do not be able to see at what level the volume is such that you change. Can someone help me out here? Brands goes for anyone who can help me unravel so volume level start!

  Hi CiRi,

  try to use the "Fn + esc" key to cut your system...
  He will remain silent even for restart the computer...

  If none of the keys have a special feature of "Fn" reinstall the 'value added package' and 'hotkeys' of the toshiba download page.

• Satellite Pro A300 - overheating

  Hello

  It's been a year and a half I got my Satellite Pro A300. A week ago, it started overheating very badly. Low CPU usage, it maintains its normal temperature of 55 - 60 c (given the weather was hot).
  However, if I try to do something heavy CPU, lets the temperature of 100 ° C in a few minutes and the laptop stops. The fan works, except that it does not seem to generate as usual, as a powerful airflow which made me think it was clogged. I disassembled the laptop, but I couldn't get to the cooling unit because of three cables from the motherboard to the plastic shell, who of the White T, shaped connectors for the life of me I couldn't get out, even a little bit. I cleaned up what I could with compressed air and a little dust was allowed, however, the fan/radiator wasn't blocked at all.

  After put back together there no significant difference.
  I am sure that it is a new phenomenon that I did turn the machine much warmer weather in the worst conditions with loads CPU near 100% without any problems. I checked all the settings, just in case something has mitigated the fan, but the public electricity of standby service is set to "Maximum Performance".

  I appreciate the ideas and help, even a few tips on how to disconnect the cables from the motherboard.
  Thanks in advance.

  I imagine that there is a lot of dust inside and maybe is time for professional cleaning. You can contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. The guy he takes apart the whole notebook and remove all dust placed between the vents.

  In any case, try to use your laptop with power management balanced which will reduce the performance of the processor, but your laptop will have enough power for normal operations.

  In General, I think that your laptop must be properly cleaned.

• Satellite Pro A300-257 while flashing the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a dilemma. I recently installed windows 7 on my laptop of girlfriends who is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-257, everything went well until I tried to update the Bios. I followed all instructions on the toshiba site had to put the model number in to get good bios double checked and triple checked before running the program, but when I ran the system crashed to halfway through the closed system update and now it wont even boot lights are on cd player is ROAR a few stays on black screen.

  I read many forums and it seems im not the only one with this problem.
  I just got the phone to toshiba and they say im not covered because I does not you can call and go through it with them on the phone, even if at no time did he tell me to do that I followed the instructions of there Web site.
  I also confirmed with them that I used the correct bios but they say that they are unable to prove that and I can put in the wrong information that I did not.

  In my view, there is a program that will allow me to boot from the cd so I don't have to go out and buy a reader external floppy to Flash the bios, I think that his winflash. Unfortunately, all I can find is the executable program on there website which im guessing will not start work.
  Anyone know where I can find the prog to update the bios and the bios file so I can create a cd bootable to Flash the bios.

  Any help will be appreciated with gratitude

  Thank you very much

  Hi mate

  I m afraid there is no alternative to reflash the BIOS to the traditional version of BIOS who can start the BIOS updated using an external USB drive and the floppy disk.

  The European driver Toshiba page contains only the BIOS Win-based that can be updated when the windows operating system. The traditional BIOS is not available for download. Only authorized service partners have access to this version of BIOS and that's why I don t see any alternative as to get in touch with the guys and to ask for help.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - DVD drawer will not open most of the time

  I have a portable Satellite Pro A300-1NH. The DVD drawer opens not most of the time. Sometimes it does, but most of the time it isn't.
  Sometimes, if I can get a DVD/CD in the drawer for something to burn, burning works.
  Most of the time the computer does not recognize that there is a disc, and then I can't open the drawer again to get it out.

  Can anyone tell a novice what should I do to resolve this issue please?

  It looks like a mechanical problem. You need to replace or insert a PIN or no folded into a small hole on the plateau near the exit button whenever he is stuck.

• How can I check if the Satellite Pro A300-1 GR drivers are up to date

  Hello!
  How can I check easily at any time if the drivers of my Satellite Pro A300 - GR 1 are updated? I already thank you for your support.

  Hello

  On the Toshiba driver European page you will always find the number pilot s versions and you can compare it with the s version of the driver installed on your laptop.

  In addition the [Toshiba Tempro | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/TEMPO_RELEASE/] application keep you abreast of software updates and the latest Toshiba driver as soon as they come out on the European driver Toshiba page.

  But just a hint; If your laptop works without problem, then I would not change anything in the operating system. I'm always that notice; never change a running system ;)

  Good bye

• Cooling fan does not work on Satellite Pro A300

  Hello world

  I was asked by a friend to repair their Satellite Pro A300, because their CPU cooling fan had stopped working even during the start of the POST and the laptop could overheat and shutdown. So I thought it might one of three things:
  # Fan is obstructed by dust or dirt
  # Rolling fan failed
  # Fan power cable was loose

  So I disassembled the laptop and cleaned the fan/radiator with compressed air and check the connection of the supply, which was solid, but this does not solve the problem, so I replaced the fan and the heatsink with another that I knew worked from the same model laptop that had a motherboard fault due to the bug of password to start random bios (out of warranty) but still no joy.

  I'm starting to believe that the fan was perfectly fine rather motherboards temperature of the processor or the sensors that control the activation of the fan has failed.
  Am I correct in thinking that it is essentially, irreparable without specialized tools and my friend will be content themselves to turn the system off each hourish or is there something else I forget?

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  I m not a technician, but for me, looks like the fan connector is working properly if you already replaced the fan and therefore, it would be necessary to replace the motherboard

  That s all I can say about it having a look for second mainboard or laptop where you can get a motherboard cheap. Maybe it works. :)

• Module need Bluetooth for Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4

  Hello world

  I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a * module Bluetooth * which would be compatible with my Satellite Pro * A300/2 4 * portable. I'd get a small dongle but I was hoping to get something that was out of the way and view and no need to connect and reconnect when necessary. The model above mine (Satellite Pro A300-28R) _ has Bluetooth but I can't find more information.

  Can just install the module form of the model above on mine? My laptop has bluetooth program already installed on it.

  Thank you

  + Bam +.

  Hello

  A300 - 2C4 does not support the internal BT module
  I'm not very well if the motherboard supports a miniPCI for BT m module slot
  Usually it should support, but I recommend to ask the technician ASP in your country.
  Here, you can order the necessary BT miniPCI module and could request the installation

  I would not recommend upgrading yourself because you will need to disassemble the laptop and this means you lose the warranty!

• No driver chipset Intel 6.14.10.5029 for Satellite Pro A300 PSAG1E?

  Can someone tell me why the latest drivers intel for this chipset are out for all other versions of the A300, but not this one...
  I need to install these drivers to fully activate Hardware t & so that I can play a number of games previously unsupported, but cannot install direct from Intel because they tell me that they are not certified for my laptop... also make widespread drivers available on the download page of the A300 series tell me that my system does not meet their requirements.

  Why not have Toshiba get out these drivers for this model and are there plans to release them soon? If not, is there a way I can force an installation and if I could it would be worthwhile I guess that there are compatibility issues...

  It would appreciate any help that I spent money on games that are in the compatible list Intel for their latest driver, but cannot play that Toshiba did not or varified pilots, it's aggrevating to say the least.

  Hello

  The PSAG1E is a Satellite Pro A300 model and I checked the Web from Toshiba site for display drivers on all versions of Satellite Pro A300 and I can't agree with you!

  For the Satellite Pro A300 with Intel graphics card I can find three different versions of graphic driver for XP:
  6.14.10.4953
  6.14.10.4833
  6.14.10.4096

  So please tell me where you found the 6.14.10.5029 version? I can t see the site of Toshiba for Satellite Pro A300.

  So if you want the driver you can download it from the Intel site. All that s!
