• Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - difficulties in upgrading the BIOS

  Hello

  I tried to update BIOS on my new Satellite Pro A300-1EA (PSAG9E-001001EN), requested by Tempro, since version 1.50 to 1.90. The system has completely frozen during the BIOS flash, after waiting for an hour, I decided to turn the power off and pray for the best. Thank God, everything works still, but the BIOS is always v1.50, not been updated. I now read so many posts on the forum about the update of the BIOS of marbled and am now very cautious about subject to any BIOS updates at all.

  My questions are: is there about this particular update and/or with the installation of InsydeFlash problems? The BIOS updates are usually all so difficult that they have better be avoided? What are alternative means for updating BIOS, hopefully less dangerous? Also, could there be potential damage to my laptop that is associated with this is BIOS flash a miscarriage I should know about?

  Thank you very much indeed!

  You can feel happy, my friend! :)
  I m surprised that your ROM module is damaged or something. In most cases, this occurs if the computer hangs during the update.

  Let me give you some advice. You should only update the BIOS if it of needed or if you have questions-problems with the laptop. You can ignore the messages of TEMPRO if your system is working properly. For example I have never updated the BIOS if my phone goes perfect never touch a running system ;)

  If not, follow the advice posted by Akuma before update you the BIOS to close all running programs, disable the AntiVirus and firewall and connect the AC adapter.
  On my Satellite U400, I've updated the BIOS without problems.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA: can I use faster and bigger HARD drive?

  So this may seem like a stupid question, but if I intend to spend of the installed 160 GB 5400 RPM HDD of the Satellite Pro A300 1EA to a 7200 RPM drive HARD (do not know the ability yet) and I was wondering how to make recovery disks (downgrade from Vista professional and XP Professional) coming with the work of the laptop with the HARD disk that does not part of factory as drives for my understanding restore the system...

  The size of the drive HARD replacement has something to do with the thing?
  If the replacement HARD drive is also 160 GB system see the difference? And even if it was smaller or larger the system see the difference?

  I have not even bought the laptop but will soon and it is a little urgent.

  Computer thanks Fellows ahead! :)

  * Oh... It seems that this question has already been answered... a little research has ever killed forum person huh... but if someone has vital information about the issue... Please let me know! :)*

  Hello

  I think that he should t be a problem with an upgrade to a faster and bigger HARD drive.
  But before you switch the HARD disk, you must create the Toshiba Recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
  After the recovery disk has been created, you can move the hard drives.

  Best regards

• Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - wireless connection, drop all the time

  Hi, I have a problem with my wireless connection fall all the time on my Satellite Pro A300 1EA.

  It happened earlier, but I've fiddled about a little with change of drivers and the removal of the connection settings for the registry and it then worked fine for months, until yesterday.

  There were several updates for Windows installed yesterday, but none of them have been updated driver for the wireless card, and they don't look like they should cause problems. The fact that the problem happened before makes me think that the updates can be anything to do with it.

  I use the * Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 * for Vista 32 - bit version 12.2.0.11.3 drivers from the Toshiba download page.

  Other computers on the same access point have no problem, so I think it is specific to this laptop. The connection speed is normally 6 Mbps, but I cannot even check e-mail now without the abandonment of the connection.

  Laptop will be thrown against a wall soon if no one can help you.

  Thanks in advance.

  Edit: I've already made sure power settings are at maximum to the WLAN card, even if on battery, or what power management.

  Hello

  Have you tried to use the Windows System Restore feature? After that your WLAN should work fine again.

  In addition, I can recommend the latest WLAN driver in the Intel page, it s version 12.4.xxxx. I installed the driver on my Qosmio laptop and don t have any problems with it: [www.intel.com].

  If you have any other questions, please let us know!

• Need for clarification in regards if you upgrade memory and HDD invalidates the warranty/support Dell

  Hello!

  I bought a Dell Inspiron 15 at the end of January. I told the sales guy cat exactly what I needed for and what my budget was. Well, based on his advice, I ended up raising my budget so I could have the best possible computer for my use.

  Now, normally, I don't buy a computer on mine, but the person I usually consult wasn't available, so I thought, Hey, the Dell guy cat must know what he's talking about.

  The computer he sold me a * disk drive (5200 rpm, I think). I told him that I wanted it for the recording software. After I bought it (buyer's remorse), several people told me that he should have sold me an SSD.

  Okay - Here's my thing: I can go buy a SSD and install it. But cancel my expensive service plan and a guarantee that I have? In addition, tech support plan? And regardless if it's a Dell hardrive and I can someone have set up here, or that I have to send the laptop back and have Dell to install one of their SSD to preserve the warranty and service plan?

  Thank you.

  With Dell, you are allowed to replace serviceable by the user on your computer without to as voiding the warranty.  Examples being the hard drives, memory, graphics cards, etc.  If ever you have a problem and need to send the unit for repair, you will need to replace your Dell parts provided those and Dell will only be guaranteed components provided by them.

  Also, you are more then welcome to install yourself, however if damage you something during the installation it will invalidate your guarantee that you caused the damage.

  Yes TLDR you can install anything you want.

• The upgrade chart/processor Intel on Satellite Pro M70

  OK, let's go with my first assignment. I bought a Satellite Pro M70, a year ago. It has a graphics chip (intel gtl 950?), I just would like to know, if it is possible to install a graphics card, ati or nvidia.

  Furthermore, is it possible to upgrade the processor? and what about warranty if the upgrade and installation of all this?

  Here, I'm going with my first reply you ;)

  No, it is not possible to s. The technology of the laptop is different as desktop computers and therefore you will not be able to update the graphics card.

• Official release of the drivers XP and Vista for Satellite Pro P100 - 465 PSPAEE

  When will it be available for XP and Vista for the PSPAEE drivers? Currently there are drivers for the PSPA4E, some of whom work, others do not, no operating system. Yes the laptop is preinstalled with the Vista Upgrade and pilots work, but two of the pilot applications are blocked by Defender (NDSTRay / ConfigFree and VolControl). I couldn't get no option to allow to these (not yet classified MS so they are locked) told me to disable Defender technical support!
  I tried a clean install of my own version of Vista business and had problems of drivers with that as well.

  I would like to run XP until Vista is, shall we say, more effective I would use drivers specifically for her, so time would be very useful.

  I would also like to know why there is a where a finger scanner could go under the 0 on the keypad, and a blocked stop lower PCMCIA port (PCI-E?) when any of these are available as an upgrade option? I missed these upgrade options or is it a case of recycled from another model, they exist? If the latter then it is quite cheap for a new machine :)

  Hello

  We have all the users here can suggest only it seems that Vista and XP drivers are already available for Satellite Pro P100 PSPA4E
  So in my opinion the next drivers for the next series should follow in the near future

  I don t see it differently as to wait

  Of course, you can test different drivers from different series as Sat P100.
  Many laptop models use the same devices and therefore different unique pilots could be compatible

• The maximum size of HDD for Satellite Pro 6000?

  Hi, I am trying to install a 60 GB hard drive, but it is shaped, and it stops at the instalation of Windows XP Pro.

  Is there a size limit of HD?

  Thank you
  Ronaldo

  Hello

  It stops without any error message? If this isn't the case, then try another copy of Windows XP since the Satellite Pro 6000 shouldn´t have problems with this drive. I had 2 years a similar machine and I also got a 60 GB Toshiba HARD drive installed. It worked like a charm, so I can't imagine that the hard drive could be the problem.

  See you soon

• Extension of memory and HDD on Satellite 1805-s203

  Satellite 1805-s203
  Intel Celeron 800 MHz
  128 MB expandable to 512 MB
  15 GB HARD DRIVE

  I recently installed at 256 MB of memory and it seems that the memory slots. To develop my memory 512 MB what should I remove the memory of 128 MB and replace it with a 256?
  Addition, how else can in I put this laptop? I could increase the HARD drive? How could I increase it with 512 MB of memory?

  Hello

  It is not easy to find specific info on older models of laptops. According to the mobile news it can handle with max 512 MB of RAM. Compatible RAM module is KTT-SO815/256 256 MB memory-(Kingston). With the help of two of them you can have max RAM and laptop will go much quicker.

  Disk HARD is not easy to say with certainty, but I think that you can pass to 30 or even 60 GB, but 30 should not be a problem.
  Good bye

• After that v1.90 updated by Satellite Pro A300-1EA BIOS won't boot to the top

  Thanks for any response.

  Hello

  It will be interesting to know if your laptop will again works well with the factory settings.

  Try to start the installation of recovery to see if the menu on the right will appear on-screen.

• Wireless is on but Satellite Pro A300-1EA says it is OFF

  I got this computer from April will be no problem.

  My wireless is on (on the switch key and func) but my computer does not connect to a network, the icon has a red x through it, and when I try and diagose I continues to told to turn on wireless. I rebooted the countless times, I haven't downloaded new software or run updates since the last time it worked. I checked the Device Manager, the drivers are up to date and there is no conflict of interest. I tried of diabling the software anti vrius but this did not help.

  I am currently connected via an Ethernet cable. It happened once before, but after several hours it started working again. No luck today.
  Connectivity doctor acknowledges that the switch is on - but when I dianose tells me to switch on the wireless.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  Maybe you need to reinstall just the Wlan driver again. that's certainly worth a try
  Go to Device Manager and uninstall the driver WLan
  Then restart the laptop and after windows has started again, try to install the latest WLan driver. After this procedure, restart the laptop.

  In addition, back to Device Manager and check the Wlan card properties.
  There is an Advanced tab. You will find lots of different options and that there could be an option that enables / disables the NIC wireless also.

  Finally and check if there is no conflict between the WLan Atheros WLan configuration and settings Windows WLan configuration tools.
  If you use Atheros Wlan and Wlan Windows settings should be disabled (unmarked).
