Updating the BIOS is dead the satellite Pro P300-1AY

Hi all

found this forum and really hoping that he can help me!
I bought a satellite Pro P300-1AY two years ago, it cost me £900 nr so I thought it would be worthy of a purchase.

A year ago the USBs stopped working, I do it every working solution I could think of anything will do, finally gave up and learned to live without USBs!

However, a few weeks ago, the laptop at the start stop, I didn't get was the black screen. Probably a video problem I did all the memory check hard drive everything else, however, it was only an intermittent problem, I found if I he tilted on the side she would begin, another thing to live with!

But two days ago, I heard that if I've updated the BIOS, it could solve all my problems. so I went to the Toshiba site, found the BIOS updated and downloaded, but to halfway through the installation, the laptop froze and I couldn't t he put it off and had to take the battery out to turn it off!

And ve you may have guessed, he's now won t start. Even its worst, LED lights, and if I put a disc in the cd I can hear it whirring, but that s it.

Is - this irreparable? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?
Ty for your time in reading :)

Hello

> Is it irretrievably? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?

Well, usually the BIOS could once again be reflashed, but you would need a traditional version of the BIOS update.
This version is available for Toshiba FSA.

So you will need to get in touch with a local ASP technician that could reflash the Rom BIOS module.
Eventually, after this update the specifications would be stable.

Good luck

  • Satellite Pro P300-1AY does not see wireless networks

    I have a Satellite Pro P300-1AY and the unit does not see wireless networks.
    I replaced my card and it does not solve the issue.

    I set up another type of card and those who work well, it is only when I get an Intel 5100 (512AN_MMW) the unit does not see any network.

    I use win XP. Any idea?

    Hello

    You have the latest version of the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then you should first update the BIOS!

    The latest version of the BIOS is on the European driver Toshiba page and it can be modified running Windows OS.
    As far as I know, you must use 2.5 or later version BIOS.

  • Satellite Pro P300-1AY - screen and keyboard issues

    Satellite Pro P300-1AY

    First and most importantly, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
    If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy solution?

    Otherwise, no idea how much it would cost for a replacement?

    Secondly, I switch to a different keyboard layout.
    Anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?

    Thanks x

    > First of all and above all, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
    > If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy fix

    Hmm. Maybe it's s inverter a FL. The FL inverter is a small part that controls the screen backlight
    Generally disassembly laptop procedure is very delicate and looks like you've never disassembled the laptop so I would not recommend to do anything which could damage the other parts get in touch with a local ASP and ask for help.
    Usually the FL inverter should not be expensive pieces but I have no idea on costs

    > Does anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?
    and once again all spare parts can be ordered from local ASP.

  • LAN causing the reboot of the Satellite Pro P300

    Hi all

    I have a user who has a Satellite of 300 Pro who works OK as he got.
    Recently, he told me that the laptop keeps restarting. I checked the phone and made sure it is turn off the laptop, which he was doing. I went into the BIOS to see if Wake on LAN is turned on, it wasn't.

    What is happening is the closure of visits of the user (Win XP with latest updates) the laptop does stop, but after about 2-3 minutes fires back up.
    Until I log a service call, I wanted to make sure that I had covered all the possibilities?

    Any suggestions?
    Thank you
    Murray

    The laptop turns on if the LAN cable is not connected?

    Alternatively, you can try to disable Wake up on LAN option in the properties of the LAN card.
    (Device-> LAN card Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab)

    Check how it will work

  • Satellite Pro P300-1AY - where can I get new parts of keyboard?

    Hey guys,.

    I was wondering if you knew all the places where I could get a set of keys for the keyboard (as opposed to buying a new keyboard) and if possible; where I can get sets of keys for different keyboards, such as QWERTY for example.

    A big thank you in advance, Owen.

    Hey Buddy,

    You can order a new keyboard and these individual keys you want to say t can be ordered. If some individual keys n t work you need to buy a new keyboard but AFAIK it isn't so expensive.

    Simply contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask for that. There you can get a new keyboard. :)

  • Satellite Pro P300-1AY - can it be upgraded to DDR3 RAM?

    I currently have 3 072 (2 048 + 1 024) MB | maximum extension: 8 192 MB / technology: DDR2 RAM (800 MHz)

    And I was wondering if it could be upgraded to 4 096 (2 048 + 2 048) MB / DDR3 RAM (1066 MHz).

    Hello!

    No, you can upgrade to t mobile with DDR3 RAM. The point is that these modules do not fit into the RAM slots, and they have different specifications.

    If you want to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB, you must purchase DDR2-RAM. You can buy each desired production, but I have good experiences with the Kingston modules.

    And you already know the requirements for the 4 GB? You need a 64 bit OS to use it! ;)

  • Satellite Pro P300 BIOS not only flash through recovery CD en

    Hi people

    I tried to update my BIOS on my laptop Satellite pro P300 series, and it seems to have gone wrong. I have now read a lot about the winphlash version goes wrong. I managed to create a recovery CD, and it starts the procedure of flash and works almost to the end, but then shuts down and restarts. I have no idea how to solve this problem. I don't know that I have the correct procedure and BIOS recovery. I can boot my laptop with Ubuntu, but I really don't want to get rid of my windows installation.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Have you tried to Flash the BIOS in the Windows operating system?

    The BIOS is focused on victory and you can Flash the ROM module using the version of the BIOS based win.

    This, to a Windows operating system installed.

    Found a doc HowTo very interesting on the update of the BIOS.

  • Satellite Pro P300 restarts a few minutes after the stop

    Hello

    I'm unable to download the update of the BIOS for a Toshiba Satellite Pro P300 PSPCDE (WIN 3.00), the reason being that I wonder a user name and password to download the file!

    The laptop has this annoying problem to revive a few minutes after the laptop has stopped, and that's why I want to update the BIOS to see if it suits him. Laptop is running XP Pro (downgraded from Vista).

    Ideas how I can get the update of the BIOS and will it solve the strange rebooting problem?

    Paul

    Where are you trying to download the BIOS?
    I always download my updates on the official website of Toshiba and if it doesn't work maybe you should wait a day.
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    To be honest, I doubt that the BIOS update will solve this problem. I often read about this problem and you can solve if you disable the wake on LAN function in the BIOS and Windows (properties of the wireless network card).

  • Satellite Pro P300 LED to the bizarre behavior

    I have a portable Satellite Pro P300-1AY, bought just for more than a year. A few hours before after saving my galleries of photos on my external hard drive, a function LED (located below the touchpad) began to blink once every 2 seconds and has done since then. I can't say I've noticed this before but maybe I'm a bit on the side hypersensitive and prudent? I've never had a system failure (yet) or any error message telling me that something is wrong in particular.

    Unfortunately I don't know quite what this led to specific standards for, no power supply mains or battery either. The hard disk activity? More likely.

    As indicated, perhaps I am worrying for no reason, but it's not something I picked up before and it doesn't seem to be anything on a Google search that describes something like that.

    I appreciate any comments on this one.

    Best regards

  • Satellite Pro P300 - 13 M - how to replace the network card?

    Hello I have the Satellite Pro P300 - 13M.

    My sister fell on my UTP cable and so he was taken out by force and because of that "holding-pings" on the front of the port are bent or broken, so whenever I put in a cable with traction slightess or accidental poke I'm new offline...

    I'm out of my warranty period, is it possible to fix this? Can I replace it myself?
    USB network adapters are a viable solution to replace if I can't replace it?

    Help > _

    To resolve this issue, you must replace the motherboard. The network card or a network location is soldered on the motherboard and cannot be traded.

    In addition, it would be not covered by warranty. This isn't a matter of Toshiba, this is caused by the customer.

    However, if you want to repair you must contact an ASP or search you on eBay for a card mother of second hand.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - 13 m - boot problem: black screen with 3 beeps

    Hello

    Satellite Pro P300 - 13 m, I bought a few weeks ago and in time, I had about 5 - 6 times the same rear screen when I tried to start the system. When he does this notebook gives 3 loud beeps (not sure what that actually means).

    When he does this I have to press the power button for 5 seconds and after several times doing this that it will show the Welcome screen toshiba... then sometimes it will automatically restart again and I get this annoying black screen again. Most of the time when I wait about 10 minutes and try to do as well the system starts as usual... Yes... very strange thing here.

    To be honest, I don't want to send the laptop for Toshiba once again, as I could use for my business...

    Then. What could this be? I've already updated the latest version of the BIOS.

    Thnx in advance

  • Satellite Pro P300-1EC - cannot get wireless to work

    Hello!

    First of all. Excuse me for my English!

    TEC Spec.

    Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1EC
    Intel WiFi Link 5100
    Windows XP Pro SP3

    I have a big problem. I can't get the wireless LAN working properly.
    And the customer has purchased this computer because his old computer stopped working with WLAN...

    I tried everything I can. And I am a person of educated tech, so I think I should have the knowledge of this, but I do not have.

    Short version.

    1. install the latest drivers. (Also tried more aged)
    2 restart the computer.
    3 WNIC takes about 10 min to find WLAN.
    4. While working perfect with 130Mbps on project N.
    5.i can user logout and change and all.
    6. when I restart I'm back at number 3.

    Long version:

    I installed XP pro since the XP downgrade Cd included and wireless drivers wasn't on that CD so I downloaded them. (And Yes. "This is the correct drivers.)
    After that I installed the driver and restart my computer, I could not find wireless networks. Kind of weird because I have 4 routers/points of WLAN on my company with the range 60-100% and about 3 other public routers without security. I tried to update the drivers to windows update, and WU has found an update for me. I installed driver and the wireless highlight function. I scream YES and restart the computer. Then it stopped working. N° !!!
    I was a little tired on the problem and began installing some other computers that I bought and when I looked the Toshiba computer that I saw that it was connected to my WLAN. Weird, but I thought it worked then I restart the computer again and then his does not work... again! Now, I have analyzedthe problem and it's like that.

    When I start the computer the my WNIC does not any WLAN.
    About 10 min (10m32s) after starting the wireless started working.
    I am able to disconnect and change the user and it still works, but as soon as I restart the computer it stops and I have to wait another 10 minutes. And so on.

    Anyone been trough something like this even if it is not not toshiba or my model?

    Hello

    What is the Satellite Pro P300 - 1EC BIOS is up-to-date?
    Please check everything first.

    You said you are using Draft N did you tried to establish the WiFi connection using other standard WLan as 802.11 A or G?

    I also recommend changing the WiFi channel and try other channels.

    In addition, you can change a WLan option that affects the WLan functionality. You can find these settings in the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab

  • Satellite Pro P300: external resolution 1024 x 768 instead of 1680 x 1050

    Hello

    I run my Sat P300 on XP and this laptop screen is fine (1440 x 900 pixels on radeon HD 3650).

    Now, I want to connect the laptop to an external monitor flat screen, a Samsung, which requires an optimum resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels.
    The samsung monitor works fine on my laptop more old: I close the lid of the laptop and the screen changes to the Samsung with good resolution of 1680 x 1050.

    Now, when I connect the P300 and close the lid, the screen switches to the Samsung, but the actual screen resolution is 1024 x 768, despite the fact that the 1680 x 1050 is set in the display properties windows.
    In fact, the screen is probably 1680 x 1050, but sees only the monitor 1024 x 768 (i.e. the desktop is bigger than the monitor can show, and I can push the office left/right or up/down with the mouse.

    So it appears (Hey, it's just a guess) that the radeon sends a screen 1680 x 1050 with the wrong frequency (48.2 KHz instead of 64.4 KHz as my monitor watch)!

    The Samsung drivers are installed, and I've updated the BIOS to 3.40 win, but not a solution.

    Someone at - it an idea?

    Hello!

    Have you checked the manual of the Satellite Pro P300?
    I think you should do this because there you can read why the screen resolution of 1680 x 1050 doesn t work.

    The Satellite Pro P300 supports the following screen resolutions:
    800 x 600
    1024 x 768
    1280 x 800
    1280 x 1024
    1600 x 1200
    1920 x 1440
    2048 x 1536

    Do you not see where is the problem? ;)

    I confused m do you know why?
    Because you talk about audio driver Realtek and sound chip and my knowledge, that the Satellite Pro P300 was equipped with the audio chip Conexant!
