The water went in the Satellite P300-133

Nice day!

I have a problem because my neighbors in upper flat. They got their apartment flooded because of heating does not, and water entered my laptop Toshiba Satellite P300 133 ruin.

I went to the authorized service center, they diagnosted motherboard full failure and now want to totally replace and want to charge me 400 usd for motherboard, 130 for labour and 110 for the possible change of keyboard.

The questions are:

-a complete failure of the motherboard under this scenario is realistic?
-is it possible to get cheaper motherboard (maybe used) you?
There's something that can be changed under standard warranty? (it's still about it)

Kind regards
Tigran

Hi Tigran,

Oh, really not good news of s but I think that this could happen from time to time...

> complete failure of the motherboard under this scenario is realistic?
That s very realistic! Friend of me has had the same problem and the authorized service provider also exchanged the motherboard together because it of not possible to Exchange only a few unique pieces on a motherboard.

> is it possible to get cheaper motherboard (maybe used) you?
What you mean? Here you can talk only with normal users and I don t see anyone Toshiba directly here.
The only option is to order a motherboard of second hand on eBay

> is there something that can be changed under standard warranty? (it's still about it)
I doubt that
I mean that s your own faulty and is not a problem of Toshiba. I know that of difficult to hear, but this fact s.

Finally and most importantly, I think that the prices are ok, because the motherboard is a very expensive part and it also takes a long time to exchange it. This can done in a few minutes, so t he s a bit more expensive.

  • XP installs - ntdlr.dll missing on the Satellite P300-133

    We bought the satellite P300 with preinstalled Vista. It worked fine except for some major programs for hardware configuration in our society.

    So, we tried to install XP Professional on the primary partition that has been formatted before that. The blue screen where XP installs its files (after you have created the partition and formatting it) on the end to 99%, it says 'missing ntdlr.dll '.

    We first tought it has something to do with the SATA compatibility mode which we configured in the BIOS to cause driver AHCI missing on the XP CD. Then, we did a backup CD with nLite with the SATA drivers installed and run the AHCI mode.

    The same problem at the same point. I DIND'T try with another copy of XP but I know that it (a month old scratch free original CD) works very well because I installed it on another laptop front.

    The only thing that is strange od these partitions are mixed to the top. The partition where Vista was before is now D, it is also the reader where we tried to install XP, C is not the car with all the previous system backups and F it seams to be the Vista installation files.

    Please any suggestions, its very urgent
    We need this computer next week.

  • Satellite P300 - 133 WiFi card - upgrade to N

    Hello
    My laptop Satellite P300-133 was delivered with a WiFi Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card.
    It has facilitated access to the PC card.

    I have acquired a new worthy of the N standard wireless router.
    It works very well with existing under the standard G laptop card.
    New Satellite P300 models are standard h.

    I would like to know if there is a map for the Satellite P300-133 that I can use to replace the original card for laptop with a corresponding also to the N standard.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is has some network cards wireless standard 802.11 Draft N but also as far as I know the project WLan N needs 3-wire antenna.

    The other WLan standards such as 802.11 A, B or G need 2 antenna son and I imagine that the laptop has been delivered with 2 wired antenna and therefore the Draft N will not work in your notebook.

    However, you can try some external wireless network cards that would favour the Draft N

  • Clock speed of the Radeon HD 4650 in the Satellite P300-23F

    Hi all!

    I am interested by the Satellite P300-23F because of its nice, these two drives huge CPU and - finally and above all - good price. But I can't estimate exactly its graphics performance, because I could not find information about the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 used in this book's exact clock speeds.
    Did someone already has a P300-23F? If you do, could you please read the core and the memory clocks the GPU with a tool such as the CCC or GPU - Z? Perhaps you have also information about the temperatures of the CPU and HARD drive and also on the performance of the HARD drive?

    Thank you...

    Hello

    To be honest I m P300 owner but not the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 is known as M96 ATI with DDR3 (1 GB) of graphics ram.
    I think that it s is not easy to say some details about the exact chip GPU clock speed because it of always different. It depends on the use of the laptop and the temperature.
    You must know that the performance of the GPU are controlled by the graphics driver and if the temperature increases to a critical level, that the pilot might slow down the chip so decreases the heat dissipation.

    The temperature of the processor and HARD drive depends on the use of the laptop too.
    If you run games high performance, then the temperature increases to a higher level and would be higher than the execution of only a few common tools such as MS Office Word for example.

    However maybe someone could put some values and details, it would be really interesting.

  • Peripheral Bluetooth appears only not on the Satellite P300-11W

    Hello

    I just bought the Satellite P300-11W (Win Vista Prem) and tried for a weekend to set up the bluetooth device.

    I installed the BT-monitor for several times.
    I can't find my internal bluetooth device in Device Manager. Therefore, I can't use bluetooth.
    Who else has this problem? What can I do?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    In my opinion, your laptop supports BT
    Check the labels at the bottom of the unit.
    If your laptop model supports the internal BT module while there should be a label of BT.

    If you want to use the BT, he should be allowed first.
    Have you enabled the BT?

    Please check if the Fn + F8 key combination allows the BT and if a BT icon appears in the taskbar.

  • Satellite P300-133 - problem installing Win Xp

    Hello

    I have a problem installing win xp to Satellite p300-133.
    To resolve this problem, I have tried the solutions:
    switch to ahci mode in bios and incorporating storage drivers compatibility intel to the installation cd xp with nlite, but none of them solved the problem.

    Laptop computer starts from the cd of xp and xp installation says "program Setup inspects your hardware configuration" and then a blank black screen comes.
    After that, the installation does nothing and waits indefinitely.

    Any ideas on this problem? Thank you.

    Hello

    > switch to compatibility ahci mode in the bios and the integration of the storage drivers Intel to xp with nlite installation cd, but none of them solved the problem.

    The two methods are good!
    You can install the Win XP without drivers Intel Storage Manager (SATA drivers) but in this case the SATA mode must be on compatible mode.
    It works for sure!

    The second method is the installation of the SATA drivers with nLite (drivers can be integrated into the new drive Win XP).

    I put t understand why this doesn t work on your laptop. I think it's a problem with your Win XP drive. Contains this Win XP SP2 or SP3?
    If this isn't the case, then you should use nLite to include min the Win XP SP2.

  • Satellite P300 - 133 PSPC4E - fan does not stop

    I have the toshiba p300-133. He is fan of still being run. It doesn't stop.

    CPUs are about 36-37 degrees centigrade.
    GPU is about 50-52.

    Are these normal?
    If this is not the case, what can I do heat from the GPU to the bottom?

    Enter the advanced power settings and in the power settings Toshiba set to optimized cooling battery method. It should slow down the activity of the fan.
    One last thing: don't expect your P300 will work absolutely quiet and no fan activity.

  • Can I switch the RAM to 8 GB on Satellite P300-133

    Hello!

    I see that the new P300 have the ability to support up to 8 GB of ram...
    This also applies to my P300-133 I use Vistax64?

    Thank you very much!!!

    Hmmm. I put t think you will be able to install and use the 8 GB of RAM.
    As far as I know the laptop s RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB (2 x 2 GB)

    I think that the same information might you find in the user manual.

  • Satellite P300-133 - how to use the internet connection via BlueTooth

    Hello

    I finally solve my problem with the synchronization via bluetooth between my P300-133 and my [HTC | http://www.htc.com/europe/product.aspx?id=15674] with Windows Mobile 5 - with step by step instructions of Toshiba.

    But I don't know how to use the Internet via BT, I tried many ways, one of them was to create a PAN with P300 as server - correctly connected HTC to P300, but it seams I can share internet with P300 as a gateway. And I want to do the opposite - get internet from my mobile to the computer (while she is away from all the cables). I'm not sure this PAN in the right way...

    The question of the other and less important is to be able to share that connection with your laptop via bluetooth - I guess that this must be done through Pan

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    I doubt that there is something wrong with your laptop.
    The laptop is connected to the local network?
    If yes then the wake up on LAN option might be the reason why the laptop powers on himself

    So to access the BIOS and disable this option;
    In addition, I recommend disabling in device-> Advanced tab-> LAN Properties Manager.

    Last but not least, you should check if scheduled tasks are not defined which could power the laptop as well

  • Touchpad on the Satellite P300 problem - 15 d

    Hello world!!

    I bought a Satellite P300 - 15 d and I am experiencing some problems with the touchpad.

    I simply turn on the pc, and sometimes the touchpad doesn't work, sometimes not.

    I tried the FN + F9 key, but it just doesn't work. Even the touchpad appears in the list of system devices.

    I find that the web and this Toshiba forum supported by aid, but I've not found anything related.

    Please help me!

    Look like a hardware problem that should be checked by a technician or an authorized service provider.

    If I were you I would click [here: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_whitepaper.jsp?service=EU&WHITEPAPER_ID=0 000000871], look for the nearest ASP in your country and send my machine to them to fix this.

  • A few quick questions about the Satellite P300 - 18 M

    Hello

    I am about to order a Satellite P300 - 18 M and have just a few questions about this:

    (Although these may apply for other similar Satellite/Equium P300.)

    Is the touchpad made by / to use the Alps or Synaptics driver?

    It has the Wireless N network card, is the map made by Intel or Realtec?

    And also, someone has experience with face recognition software to connect?

    If so, does it take a lot of time to initalise?

    Thanks in advance,
    Jack

    Hello

    The P300 - 18M belongs to the PSPCCE series.
    It uses the two touchpad drivers. Synaptics & Alps Electric
    There is an Intel 802.11agn minicards WLan installed

    The face recognition is a nice tool but local to be illuminated and you must take your face the right of the post sometimes it of not very easy

    But if you face is recognized correctly that the connection should work properly
