Equium A300D-13x stucks on installation screen

I recently sent my laptop (Equium A300D-13x) back to Toshiba to be repaired as it was overheating and cutting out.
It came back today and when I turned it on I got the screen where I was asked if I wanted to go into safe mode or start Windows normally.
Then it goes to a screen where it says, *Finishing the installation may take several minutes.
Please do not interrupt or shutdown the computer!*
I've been waiting all day now and I'm still stuck on this screen.
Has anyone had the same problem? And if so, how can I fix it?

Hi
Ive recovered my notebook many times and the installation went always troublefree.
But of course such installation issue could happen always and I think you should simply repeat this procedure.
If you dont have Toshiba Recovery disk then try to recover the notebook using the HDD recovery option.
Just press F8 while notebook powering up.
Then choose Repair my computer. Then a new window will appear and you could select the new option called Toshiba HDD.
Check it out!

Equium A300D-13X: Cannot open Amyuni Document Converter 2.10

I have a Toshiba Equium A300D-13X on which I've installed Family Tree programme.
When I open the programme it tells me it cannot open Amyuni Document Converter 2.10 Kernel Mode Print Driver.
Does that mean I have to buy that PDF programme or is there something else I can use.

Hi
First of all this issue has nothing do with your notebook but with an 3rd party application which you have installed on the A300D notebook.
So Im wonder why you post this here in the Toshiba forum
Anyway Ive googled a little bit for details about Amyuni PDF Converter and found out that this is a tool which converts every windows document into the PDF format.
In you case I would recommend searching in the web for this application and to download and to install the print driver which belongs to this Amyuni PDF Converter software.
Good luck

Equium A300d-13x - Media buttons suddenly stoped working

I am using an Equium A300d-13x toshiba laptop and the led media control touch panel suddenly stoped working
What shuld i do?

Hi
Did you install some 3rd party tools like Virtual Machine or Virtual PC or similar?
Such tools affect the multimedia buttons and could disable the functionality!
Otherwise there is something wrong with the operating system.
Possibly some registry keys or files are wrong, damage, etc
You could try to clean the OS using CCLeaner before you would install the VAP again.
This should be tried out.

Recovery help needed for Equium A300D-13X

Hi all,
After experiencing too many problems to list with my Equium A 300D 13X, both hardware and software, I decided to go ahead with a complete restoration to factory settings.
My first step was to create 2 dvd recovery discs, using the Toshiba recovery disc creator.
As far as I can tell, both recovery disc's were successfully created, insofar as the recovery disc creator said as such.
Not knowing what step to take next, I started the laptop with the fist of the two recovery disc within the disc drive, thinking this would reset the laptop to it's factory settings, however it did not.
Now when I start up the laptop I get the following message;
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
which restarts the laptop again displaying the above message.
Pressing F8 on start up does nothing.
Pressing F12, multi boot selection, brings up a Boot Menu with 3 options;
HDD1: TOSHIBA MK2046GSX-(S1)
CD/DVD: MAT****ADVD-RAM UJ-850S-(PM)
LAN: Marvell Yukon 88E8040T
If I select the CD/DVD option, a black screen with the text ;
Windows is loading files
is shown. I'am guessing this is the correct path to recovery,
however after the following recovery utility screens regarding language selection etc, a text filled dialogue box
X:\windows\systems32\cmd.exe
runs through, but ultimately becomes static at the line:
Copying F:\06948XSP.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 1/6
without successfully finishing the recovery process.
Any help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Kev.

What to say buddy you have done everything correctly.
The recover disk has been created successfully (did you see a message saying this??).
Booting from recovery disk should start the recovery procedure and you should follow the installation on the screen.
Usually this should function.
The error; BOOTMGR is missing says that boot manager on HDD has been deleted and its not possible to boot from HDD.
You should boot from CD as you did; pressing F12 choosing CD/DVD drive
Try to format the HDD again using another Windows CD.
In such case you will need to set SATA mode to compatible in BIOS and then you could boot from WinXP CD.
After that try the recovery disk again

Equium A300D-13X - overheating

The processor temperature gets over 80 C and sometimes shutdown.
I've already cleanned the fan and is working fine.
Anyone has a solution ?

Dear Jack,
Thank you in advance for your help, I have decided to contact you because I need some expert advice and you are the top rated user in this form.
Recently I tried to update the bios on my equium PSM77E, it rebooted after flash but it turned itself off immediately.
I have tried to turn it on again, the power light comes on for a split second and then it turns itself off again, there is nothing on screen.
no other lights comes on, it does not recognize the AC adaptor nor the battery.
Some times, it stays on for 1 second, I could hear the fan begining to turn, and then it goes off again, still nothing on screen.
What should I do ? I hear it is possible to replace the bios chip....
Please advise how I could fix this, I have a small budget.
Thanks.
Kenny, Northern Ireland.

Stuck in installation screen.

Hello,
I originally had installed 10.4 with no problems except for the lacking of a classic environment. When I had to get into classic to retrieve my old files, I couldn't so I decided to try and reinstall 10.4. Having problems with the second install disc, I ended up having to buy a new version of 10.4(this one came with a dvd installer disc). Installation of the OSX DVD is fine when I hold in the c key, but whenever I try and start up it goes back into the old installer asking me to insert "disc 2". For whatever reason I can't cancel out of it. Is there another way to cancel installer? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi shelf,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
Unfortunately you do not give us any information about your system. Please fill in your system's details in "My public profile" in the right sidebar of this page. We need to know as much as possible about your system in order to help (especially: exact type of Mac you use, current system version, RAM, 3rd-party cards)!
The only way to reinstall Classic is through the disks that originally came with your computer. Depending on what version they are there are different procedures:
Using Restore Discs with Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.3
Using Restore discs with computers that ship with Mac OS X 10.3.4 through 10.3.7
Using Restore discs with computers that ship with Mac OS X 10.3.7 or later
Mac OS X: Reinstalling Mac OS 9 or recovering from a software restore
Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3: How to perform Mac OS 9 clean installation with Restore CDs
Most likely you will have to reformat the hard disk using the OS 9 install CD (you have to do that if you have no OS 9 hardware drivers installed), so troubleshooting your current situation does not make much sense.

Built-in microphone not working on Equium A300D

I have Toshiba Equium A300D 13X with vista 32-bit, I cant get the built in microphone to work.
All the speakers and the webcam seem to work and I have tried to update the drivers from this website but nothing fixes the mic problems.
Can you help?

Hi
Why are you sure that the internal microphone does not work?
How did you test this?
The internal microphone belongs to the internal webcam.
You can increase the mic volume in webcam software settings.
Start webcam software -> settings -> audio tab
There you should increase the mic volume to max.
The option Audio Device should contain something like Microphone (Conexant High definition). Audio Compressor -> No compress

Need WXP drivers for my Equium A300D

Model number - PSAK2E - 001003KS
Serial - 58316186w
Hi all!
I have purchased a Equium A300D-13x today and I have taken Vista off of it and installed WXP home+SP2. All is not well! I am still in need of a few drivers, the machine runs on a AMD turion and I cannot find chipset drivers for it anywhere! Also its running a AMD graphics card, once again I cannot find compatible drivers for that.
The only chipset drivers available from what I saw was the Intel ones.
I hope you can help!

Equium A300D - Poor signal strength on built in wireless

I've had my Toshiba Equium A300D-13X for a few years now. I also have Sky ADSL Broadband for a few years. My signal from the router (netgear) up until a couple of months ago has been fine. The router is situated in my hall and I use my laptop mainly in the lounge which is through just one wall, 3 or 4 metres away. The strength showing on the wireless icon in the toolbar used to be 4 or 5 bars at least but now the best I get is 3 bars strength and my connection is variable with WebPages taking longer to load.
Has anyone experienced this? Could there be something wrong with the internal wireless aerial?
Any advice would be great.

Nothing changed with the laptop or router that I know of. The only change during this time is we now have a Kodak Wireless Printer installed. But with that I have never even been able to connect this wirelessly to my Toshiba and I have to use USB cable when I print. Although it will connect and print wirelessly on my fiance's Asus laptop. Would this cause a lack of strength? I almost always sit right next to where the printer is situated.

Windows installation interrupted as Equium A300D shuts down by itself

Dear all,
I have had my Toshiba Equium A300D for 2 years now. During this time, it works normally, occasionally shuts down by itself maye because it was too hot.
Recently, it tried to install updates from Windows but never successful. I left the computer to update for the whole night and it was still 2 out of 12 updates ... all the time so I always had to shut the computer down by pressing the power key.
I was unable to change the setting to update Windows automatically because everytime I tried to do that it froze. Most other commands became nonresponsive even viewing pictures.
It was until my computer was unable to connect to a certain wireless network while other devices can that I decided to reinstall Windows completely. It was installing normally but it got too hot and the computer shuts itself again!!!
I tried to install again and it shut itself down again, but I got into the final stage of set up so when I turned it on again, it was still "finihing the installation may take several mins. lease do not interrupt or shut down the computer". I left it on for several hours but it didnt move to any different stage. Before the computer shuts itself down I think I got to the stage after this.
I tried to press F8 to begin a new installation but it only got into this screen.
What can I do?
Please help me! Thank you a lot in advance!
I am in Germany at the moment but I live and bought this computer from the UK.

I accidentally threw away my Toshiba box without checking what was inside when I moved out last year and I wasnt sure if there was any disk so I dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk.
I was installing using Toshiba Recovery inside the laptop, not with an external Windows disk.
Can I download it somewhere on the Toshiba website?

Equium A300D - Blank Screen

Hi,
Hope somebody can help,
My Equium A300D won't boot - screen is completely blank.
Power and all lights come on as normal and stay on
Caps lock light flashes once - then nothing
Hard drive light flashes once - then nothing
Fans are spinning inside
It does not get to the BIOS screen - nothing comes up at all.
I have tried another hard drive (not sure why as it doesn't get to the BIOS screen!)
tried it with/without the battery
tried pressing various keys (F2 etc) on boot up
tried with an external monitor - nothing
opened it up and disconnected the BIOS battery (only for 10 mins though - should I leave it for longer??)
Any suggestions - machine is out of warranty ?
R.

Hello
First of all I recommend this articlen in your case:
[Which steps should be followed if your Toshiba notebook doesn't start?|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=21]
If it doesnt work it seems to be a hardware malfunction. It could be mainboard or CPU issue Who knows and its hard o say in this case. A notebook technician can check this and give you a detailed answer.
Furthermore you can find a list of all service provider on official Toshiba page.

Equium A300D - After BIOS update screen is blank

Hi there, I did a bios update on my Equium A300D-PSAK2E, and its bricked my laptop! When it rebooted after update screen is blank!
Is there any kind of way to launch a bios recovery by pressing certain keys on power on with the bios image on a usb stick?
Kind Regards
Dan

Try connecting an external screen to your laptop such as a monitor. When you start up usually the laptop starts and the monitor has to be selected to PC a couple of times as the monitor seems to default to AV1. Also try Fn+F5 to alternate between laptop and monitor and vice versa.
Enter the BIOS page by the following:-
Start, All programs, TOSHIBA, Utilities, HW setup, etc

Equium A300D-16C turns on but the screen shows nothing/stays black

Hi there, I have a Toshiba Equium A300D-16C laptop.
It was fine until now...
When I press the power button, my laptop turns on but the screen remains black / off.
HDD indicator doesn't flash or anything ... ( in case this helps )
I've also tried to remove the battery, hold the power button for 30s and plug the power cord back in... Same thing laptop turns on but screen is black.
I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
I haven't changed anything inside my laptop or unscrewed it.
PS:
I quite often kept my laptop on the bed/pillow so it may have something to do with overheating or something.
How did I get to this point:
Yesterday my laptop was fine, there was nothing wrong with it... I switched it off at night but when I tried to switch it back on this morning that's where I faced this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Rejanu.

Hello
> I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
Its very good that you have this test with an external monitor because so you could make sure its not related to internal monitor and its working properly.
Well, you have tried a lot so my personal opinion is its a serious hardware malfunction It could be related to mainboard or CPU in my opinion
I think such hardware diagnostic can only be done from an authorized service provider. I think you should contact the guys. They can help you to get rid of this problem :)

Equium A300D will not power on or boot up - stuck on standby/sleep

Hi
Toshiba support people,
I have a Toshiba Equium A300D that has suddenly decided to not power on - I have held down the power on/off button, held down control alt del, turned
it over to look for a reset button and found no button at all on the back - do not know if there is any other key command I can use to get it to boot up -
Can any one out there suggest what I can do?
Its like as if it is trapped in sleep mode.
The equium light is not on either or the touch pad stuff will not light up...
Thanks,
Barbara

Try this:
Remove the battery, disconnect the AC adaptor
Then wait several minutes (~30min) and connect both parts again.
Then try to power up the machine.
Check it out and post the results.
