Satellite A300D-15B PSAKCE - USB message appears if BT is enabled

Sorry if I'm one of those annoying people who has been posted something that's already been posted.
A couple of weeks ago, my laptop a Satellite A300D-15B series (PSAKCE 00K0DEN) kept coming up with a msg - "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" - when nothing was plugged into any of the USB ports (anything I subsequently plugged in any of them works fine).
Today, I was wanting to use bluetooth with my phone. The icon is red and blue as opposed to the white and blue combination it usually has when ready to send files. On opening the 'add new connection' menu, a msg popped up saying "Bluetooth not ready". On the options menu, running a diagnostics reveals this msg: "Check communication with Bluetooth device: Fail".
I disabled Bluetooth and noticed that I stopped getting the USB message too - and on enabling Bluetooth, the message would keep cropping up, indicating that there would be a link between them.
I am a complete technology noob and I have no idea how to fix this, or even grasp what the problem is to start with, and most internet sites that seem helpful also seem full of jargon I can't understand!
I really hope someone can help based on my minimal information, and thanks in advance.

Hi,
a possible fix maybe to uninstall all your USB devices in Device Manager (under Windows XP, I don't know the compartment name under other MS operating systems).
It helped me, when I was using a usb hub and switched the devices on it's ports very often. After some time, some of the devices stopped being recognized by the system and I got the "unrecognized device plugged in" message instead.
The uninstallation of the USB components also removes any profiles that Windows created for a particular device (at least that was the explanation that I've found somewhere in the Internet).
If this doesn't help (Windows should reinstall all the drivers after you -> restart your computer), try maybe to uninstall the BlueTooth devices the same way. Write if you have any progress / solution for/with the problem.

Satellite A300D-15B PSAKCE - Cannot install the Win XP 64bit sound driver

Hello all,
This is my first post here after lurking for the last week or two, My hope is that somewhere here there is help and hence hope!
I have a wonderful Toshiba A300D-15B PSAKCE with 4GB/O RAM, however I am suffering from some problems that the holy SEARCH function cannot solve. I use this laptop as a development box for uni/work alas...
After an absolute nightmare with Vista32 and Vista64 I decided to go back to windows XP32, however this wont install, keeps claiming a CRC file failure after (and yes this is with the SATA in IDE mode and with an XPSP2 disk)
I decided that I really DONT want to goback to Vista, so installed Windows XP64. Now the initial Instal goes very easy, I have the basic setup, the chipset, graphics, network, processor, usb, pretty much the basic... except... and this is where I have lost most of my hair.... SOUND!
Firstly attempting to install the sound driver results in Failure, claiming the mmdriver.inf cannot be found or corrupt, obviously I checked, and yes there it is, for the sake of it downloaded the MMDRIVER.INF and placed it system32, and still the install fails.
I have also tried a "Manual Install", from the .inf files... this includes the XP32/64 drivers and the Vista 32/64 bit drivers, still the same
problem, driver continues to fail install. I am becoming increasingly bald. Outstanding Drivers that WONT install
*-Audio Device on High Defninition Audio Bus*
*-Mass Storage Controller*
*-Modem Device on High Defninition Audio Bus*
*-USB Device*
If the following is any help, (Sandra 2008)
*-Disk Controller*
(AMD(ATI) SB700 SATA Controller [IDE Mode])
*-Disk Controller*
(Toshiba SB700 IDE)
*-Audio Device*
(Toshiba IXP High Definition Audio Controller)
*-Audio Codec*
(Conexant Systems 5051h)
*-Audio Device*
(AMD (ATI) RV635 Audio device [Radeon HD 3600 Series]
Now, as I write this I have heard rumor that the A305D uses the same
audio/graphics drivers.... well.... off to try something I guess...
if there is any help or ideas I would appreciate it.

Thanks Jaba
Initially I attempted to locate the MS patches you mentioned, KB835221 and KB888111 respectively, alas there were none available that I could find for XP64, also at the time of tapping this message theres no XPSP3 for XP64 bit either.
Lucky for me I logged into my MSDN account and downloaded XP+XPSP3 tore the house up looking for a CDR... anyway long story short.... solved all the problems with the required updates of SP3, I now have my Toshiba A300D-15B all singing 'n dancing laptop setup completely with XP32.
Had to take a hit on the RAM though, gonnna have to go on with only 3.2GB instead of 4GB,
arguably when one counts the memory foot-print that vista ultimate 64 had used I am probalby still on a winner here in memory avaiable terms LOL!
thanks again! much help!

Satellite A300D-15B - Upgrade from Windows 7 32bit to 64bit?

I've added an extra 4GB of memory to my Satellite A300D-15B (PSAKCE). When I try to run the Windows 7 64bit upgrade it fails with a blue screen.
Is it possible to upgrade this model to 64 bit Windows 7?

Hi ronchennells,
Theoretically it should be possible to upgrade to Windows 7 64bit You can do/install everything what you want but the important point is drivers
On the official Toshiba website there are no Windows 7 64bit drivers but you can try the Vista 64bit drivers. Normally they are compatible
Generally speaking its not necessary to upgrade to 4GB RAM or more for using Windows 7 64bit. You can also use the 64bit version with 2GB only.
What happens if you start the upgrade with original memory module only?

Memory upgrade on Satellite A300D-15B

Hi all,
I am having upgrading the ram on my laptop from 4gb to 8gb. First I will post the full details of my laptop then explain the problem.
(Original Configuration)
Satellite A300D-15B
Model : PSAKCE
Bios Ver: 3.30
AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor ZM-86 (Upgraded from ZM-80)
Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit
4096 MB (2048 +2048) PC2-6400 DDR RAM (800MHZ)
Right then, I installed Windows 7 32bit on it ages ago and upgraded the CPU and have never had any issues as i work with computers.
I did some checking and found out my Motherboard supports uo to 8gb of ram and decided to buy two 4gb ram modules. I made sure I got the correct ram for my laptop.
I upgraded the ram and it recognised it without any issue and even stated that 8gb of ram was installed under 'System'in contol panel and in the bios. As it was a 32bit OS it only utilised 3gb of the ram. I then decided to upgrade my OS to Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and thats when the fun began.
Basically my laptop will not boot if I have more than 4gb of ram installed (In any configuration) and get a BSOD. I have had a few different Stop Error codes but I cant seem to find a solution. Also there arent any/many options to change in the bios so Im stumped.
I have tested the ram modules with Memtest several times without error and have also tried them in different laptops without issue. I know my laptop suppors the 8gb as I had no issues running the 32bit OS.
All my drivers and other software are to date and work fine and have installed all windows updates to date.
Has anyone else had this issue and is there a patch/fix available?
Any help, ideas or suggestions are welcome and hopefully I can sort this problem out. Many thanks in advance.
Melchius

Hi there,
The Ram I bought is the correct to the letter and is as follows:
Komputerbay DDR2 PC2-6400 @ 800Mhz - 2 x4gb modules.
It has exactly the same Cas latency and timing settings aswell.
You mentioned that it booted fine in 32bit as it didnt address the full 8gb but now on the 64bit OS I have 1 x 4gb module installed and it is recognised without any issues,.
If the ram wasnt compatible in any way then I should be getting some errors or something to indicate a problem.
It also wouldnt boot/run properly with just 1 of the 4gb modules installed on either 32/64bit OS's, which isnt the case at all. I am certain that the ram itself isnt the issue.
I also tried installing 1 x 2gb and 1 x 4gb module for a total of 6gb and I managed to get windows to load (once) but it then stopped responding. Im not very keen on spending loads of money on another 8gb of ram from Kingston or Crucial if the same thing is going to happen, which I fully expect it will.
Thanks for the suggestions though, any other ideas?
Melchius
Also worth mentioning that the ram that came with the laptop wasnt even Toshiba brand, it is Samsung ram so maybe they should make a list of all the compatible makes for their laptops or maybe not lock their bios's to the point that the end user is so limited.

Satellite A300D-15B - Switched off and charging issue

Hi
I have a Satellite A300D-15B, running Windows 7 32bit, which bought quite recently used. I have encountered a couple of problems which I hope someone can help me with!
Firstly, the day I got the machine, it switched suddenly, but turned back on immediately and seemed to be ok. Afterwards, 3 weeks later (saturday 2nd July) I was installing some software when I got a virus warning from AGV, within a few moments the machine again turned off suddenly. Unfortuanetly this time it would not turn back on and the charge/AC supply lights would not come on. After doing some research I found that disconnecting the BIOS battery and dissipating the power enabled me to turn the machine on. Is there any known issues which could be causing this?
Secondly, once I had got the laptop to turn on after the sudden shutdown on staurday, I have found the charger still wont register as being plugged in unless i use the folling procedure.
1) diconnect the mains fuse cable from the transformer block
2) remove the battery
3) plug in the DC jack
4) reconnect the mains cable to the transformer which causes the mains light on the laptop to turn on.
5) reconnect the battery
The laptop then charges normally, I am using it to write this post.
I have to use this process everytime the machine is unplugged from the the mains or charger, which is irritating and also a worry that there could be big problems on the horizon.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
cheers
John

Hi
I upgraded it to 7, the first time it shut down was the first time it was switched on after the recovery disc had been used. Could that be an out of date driver on original settings? Then upgrading to 7 giving similar problems?
I upgraded to 7 not a fresh install, which I never usually do.
The charger is a genuine unit not a 3rd party, I won't use them as I've had issues in the past. I'm just concerned it's a mainboard problem given the shutdown and subsequent strange charging behaviour. Do these have EEPROM's in the chargers and maybe clearing the CMOS has caused a recognition problem?
Cheers

Satellite A300D-15b: Where to get Chicony cam software for Win7

I have recently done a clean install of windows 7 64bit on my Satellite A300D-15b and was wondering were i can download the Chicony camera assistant software from?
Cheers Avo

Hi Avo,
If you cant find Windows 7 driver at the moment you should try the Vista driver. I have also Satellite A300D and Im still using the Vista driver for Chicony webcam it works really well.
You can download the driver here:

Win 7 32-64 bit drivers for Satellite A300D-17G PSAKCE

hello, everybody!
I've read previous topics regarding win 7 drivers for A300, though I'd like to consult on my own problem. I've got A300D.
Toshiba drivers page offers very limited list of drivers for Satellite A300D-17G PSAKCE.
http://ru.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=RU
Why?
Where shall I get the rest?
No matter for 32 or 64 bit. I'll be happy with any of them.
Thanx in advance!

Everything depands on drivers what you really need...
You should check the device manager.
If there are some unknown devices then use the workaround in the HowTo in order to find such driver.
To be honest there are no many different devices.
WLan, Bluetooth, touchpad are not notebooks specific
Wlan driver can be downloaded from here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
Also Toshiba tools like VAP (value added package) Flash Card support utility and similar can be installed on different notebook models
So I dont think that this is little extreme

Satellite A300D-15B - Webcam won't work after Windows 7 upgrade

My webcam doesnt work after Windows 7 upgrade. I have installed the drivers but still having no luck

Hi
The webcam is listed in device manager under the Imaging devices
There you should see USB Video Device.
If its not listed there, then I think that the device malfunctions or its disconnected.
The webcam is an usb device and its connected to USB controller.
I read in different threads that in some cases the cable could be loose and therefore the webcam would not be listed in device manager.
I such case the display lid needs to be disassembled and the cables should be checked.
In my opinion its a job for an technician.

Re: Satellite A300D-15B - slow start up

Hi,
1) I recently bought the current laptop and it takes a really long time to start up and be able to work with. After that it works perfectly fine. Actualy the time it needs to start up is exactly 3 minutes. Any recommendations? I really need help.
2) Is there any chance that I can install a copy of windows XP on this machine?
Thanks in advance
Nicos

Hello Nicos
Yesterday I have made start up test with my brand new Satellite A300-1IA (PSAGCE). The result is very interesting. I have checked the time from pressing power button to the point where all stuff are load and desktop ready for use.
So there is the whole story:
I have installed factory image to get Factory settings again. When the configuration was finished notebook needs 2 minutes and 40 seconds for start.
So the next step was update check. Microsoft offers 22 updates and 108 MB data that can be installed. Ok I have installed all this and restarted notebook several times. After update installation notebook needs 3 minutes and 12 seconds for boot up.
What a difference. What you think?
The last step was my own Vista configuration:
-removing all useless software from the system
-removing preinstalled antivir application and installation of Avira Antivir software (for me definitely the best one because it doesnt need so many resources)
-disabling start up for all processes that I dont need (MSCONFIG)
-disabling all hardware components I dont need in device manager (modem, multicard reader, PCMCIA slot, firewire)
After doing all this Satellite A300-1IA needs for start up 1 minute and 15 seconds only.
I think it is good time for Vista. What do you think about this start up time?
BTW: my brother has NOD32 but I dont like it.

Satellite A300D-15B - Screen turns between on and off

Hi, I've been having some problems with my laptop's screen; it's an on-off thing, however during these past few days it has become worse.
Whenever I tilt my laptop screen past a certain point, it turns black. However if you shine a bright lamp at the screen, you can still see and tell that the screen is still on, just very very very dark. However if you tilt the screen forward again, it comes back on / light backs up.
Sometimes, it's more troublesome and it requires me to repeatedly and simultaneously tilt the screen forwards and backwards before the screen comes back on.
As mentioned, it's worse now as the tilt angle of the screen has to be low for it to stay on (as opposed to before where the angle of the screen for it to stay lit was okay as it didn't require me to kind of bend over), tilt it any further back and it turns black again. Any ideas for a self fix? I called up Comet (the store where I bought this laptop from) regarding a repair and was quoted a waiting time of 21 days maximum; I would gladly send it in as it saves the self hassle but I need my laptop for these next 2 months for work and studying.
Thanks

Hi buddy,
I agree with the user above. Theoretically the internal LCD cable could be the reason only for this issue. If it works only on a certain point, it seems to be a loose connection of this cable.
You should ask an authorized service provider. The guys can order a new cable and exchange it.
I believe such a cable isnt so expensive
By the way: Here you can search for nearest authorized service provider:

Does anyone know where I can buy a caddy / tray in the UK so I can fit a second hard drive into the empty bay in my laptop?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
Such HDD caddy that you mean you can get from an authorized service provider. They sell all original Toshiba spare parts and there you can buy one.

No bootable device message appears on my Satellite P850-30P

my laptop model is: SATELLITE P850-30P
When i turn on my laptop, it displays something very similar texts as follow:
"Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 082)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
For Realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI-E Ethernet Controller v.105 (071227)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
I read that i should try to get into bios, however, i cant get into bios. i have tried f2, del, esc, f12 (default key to get into bios for my laptop) I have also tRied Fn f2, Fn f12. none works.
I havE tried taken out th harddrive and repeat th same trials as above, still cant get into bios.
i have also tried taking the battery out and press the start button for 30 second, and replace the battery. still no luck.
i havE also triEd connEcting my external harddisk via usb but stillthE sAme messages.
Could someone please help?

The F2 button is the right one!
You have to press F2 while powering on the unit!
As mentioned by BobRock; press it several times in the row!
In some cases you need to press INS button and then F2 to access the BIOS. This is required for some units when supervisor password has been set.
By the way: the PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable message appears because the notebook tried to boot from LAN. Usually this happens in case the HDD cannot be found. Mostly because of HDD hardware problem

HT3986 a message appears telling me that i need a usb drive (even when I have one)

a message appears telling me that i need a usb drive (even when I have one)

This message could refer to the Windows drivers which can be on an USB drive you create or a Windows installation ISO on a USB drive
From the manual
You can download the Windows support software and copy a Windows 7 ISO image to a USB flash drive.
To install Windows 7 with a USB flash drive, you need the following: An ISO image of Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate downloaded from Microsoft.
A USB flash drive with 4 GB or more.
Boot Camp Assistant erases the flash drive, and copies to it the Windows 7 ISO image and software drivers that let Windows work with your Mac hardware

When I try to connect a USB cable a message appears on the screen

When I try to connect a USB cable a message appears on the screen saying that one or more USB devices are consuming to much energy and due to this the USB port were deactivated.
What should I do to solve this problem?
Do not forget is only a merely USB cable from a texas calculator, I have experienced to with an USB extension, and the same problem appears, I have tried to connect directly a USB memory stick and the IMAC do not recognise is presence, or appears thesame mesage as with the cable.

Updated information:
I have perfomed as rkaufmann87 instruct me but without any success.
Then I made some more tests:
I have tried to connect three diferent types (Ipad usb cable; TI-Nspire CX CAS usb cable and an ordinary extension usb cable) of usb connectors cables and all of them with the same behaviour.
Viewing the IMAC from backside and looking to the usb ports from the left to the rigth the behaviour of the USB ports are diferent.
the two first more to the left when we try to connect a USB cable, a message appears on the screen, sayng that USB devices are consuming to much energy and due to this the USB port were deactivated (This is more or less the translation from Portuguese language).
The ones more to the rigth nothing happens, simply are dead, no message and no charge the IPAD, no connect the USB stick.
I really need yuor support, this IMAC is from November 2012.
