Equium L300 PSLB2E - Which drivers do I install?

Hi
I just went through a file system breakdown and I'm trying to put the PC back to a working state. I don't have a system recovery disc at hand (I know I should, so don't lecture me about it I'm doing this as a favour for my mother in law, it's her PC).
I just managed to reinstall windows with a disc from another system (heresy, sure, but I'll work my way around it -- and I do have a legal license key anyway ), and now I want to install the right drivers, but there are too many options [here|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU] and the user's manual does not tell me the exact device models I have in the box. Is there a better way to verify the exact devices I have on this PC (besides opening it up)? Does the windows "Device Manager" give me the exact model as it 'reads' from the hardware or is that information just based on the currently installed driver?
I'm not in the same country where the PC was bought, so ordering a recovery disc is a lot more cumbersome than it would usually be.
Thanks for the attention

Look on the Base of the laptop, you will see a Serial Sticker with the model number (PSxxxx-xxxxxx).
Select that model number on that Drivers page, and simply download the drivers for your Operating System.
You can identify the Device in Device Manager by right-clicking the device, select Properties, go to the Details Tab, select Hardware ID's, then go to http://www.pcidatabase.com/ and enter the VEN and DEV numbers.

Is Satellite L300 the same as Equium L300?

Are the the same or not?
I am a fan of Toshiba.
1 year ago I bought a Toshiba L30-105 which in my opinion was good enough for my work. It was only ATI X200m, 80GB and I upgraded memory to 2Gb bus 667Mhz memory which work perfectly (Ram 667Mhz, GPU 333Mhz).
1 week ago, I decided to buy a new laptop to meet me working practices and I decided to by Toshiba Equium L300-146, which is new and cheap (350). However, I am totally disappointed about it. It has a better CPU than L30 and bigger harddrive, nevertheless, in spite of the fact that a 1Gb 667Mhz module was given, the computer can only work at bus 533Mhz (tested by CPUId 1.45). I also tested the GPU clock, which is worse than ATI X200m. Before I bought this laptop, by googling on the internet, I saw people say x3100 is better than Ati X200m and has Memclock/GPUclock worked at 400MHz. On this L300, it is even worse than Intel Chipset GMA950. I am really disappointed from what I found out. Also, L300 has lower WIndows Experiences Index than L30.
It is too late for me to change a new computer now. However, I write this to hope that TOSHIBA would have new BIOS upgrade so that the computer will fully supply Dram Bus 667MHZ and better Mem/GPU clock which is as shown on Intel website.

Thank you for your reply. I understand what you mean as I am not a normal user. I know what to do to boost up the computer performance.
For the software, I already used msconfig to turn off stuff I don't want and updated the newest drivers for it (At the moment, on Support site, Toshiba still hasn't updated the newest graphics/raid drivers for Vista which were out on Intel site on 25/04/2008 so I had to install manually). I also added another 1Gb Ram bus 667MHz from Huyndai (same made) but the bus just run at 533MHz
In the UK, Satelite L30-105 was sold with Windows Vista Home Basic and when I upgraded it to Vista Home Premium, it still had better performance than the current Equium L300-146. As I mentioned, I am really disappointed about the fact that L300 doesn't support performance as it should do with its technologies it has. What do you think if you buy a laptop with Ram bus 667MHz but only runs at 533Mhz and X3100 bus 400Mhz only runs at 200Mhz. I have also discover that it doesn't support Vista 64Bit whereas Intel T2370 has EM64 on it.
As I cannot get help from Toshiba Support Service (they never answer the problems like this), I think it is better to express my feeling here. Again, I only wish that new BIOS version will be supported soon.
Thanks a lot.

Equium L300 - FN button controls are not working

Hello everyone!
I have Toshiba Equium L300 laptop which comes up with Windows Vista.
I installed Windows XP on it got all the drivers from Toshiba website but the FN button is not working.
I cant use any controls relating to this button on my keyboard.
Can anybody help me? How can I get this button working?

Equium L300: cannot get a wireless connection

Hi all
I purchased an Equium L300 PSLB2E and cannot get a wireless connection. I have checked the network adapters and it tells me the Realtek RTL8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC ( NDIS 6.0 ) is working.
I have tried the FN+F8 but do not get any symbol for Wi Fi.
I have the Wireless switch to the fornt of the unit switched on.
Any help much appreciated.

Try again!
If the WLan card (device) will not appear in the Network adapters then you should take your Recovery DVD and should set the notebook back to the factory settings.
By the way; there is a Toshiba tool called *WPS Library*.
The WPS Library is needed for using ConfigFree and wireless connection.
Try to reinstall it too.
Good luck

T410 - Install NVIDIA & Intel HD drivers, or just install Optimus drivers?

Hi Folks,
I'm entirely confused about which drivers I should install. Do I install NVIDIA and Intel HD drivers separately? Or, do I just install Optimus drivers when they come out? Or do I install all 3?
thanks,
alex
T410 2516-CTO
Optimus graphics, NVIDIA NVS 3100M with integrated intel HD

I would like to share with you that you need to update both drivers, first you need to update the Intel HD and then NVIDIA graphics software of your notebook from the below mentioned web link.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?
After this, please restart the notebook and check if the issue resolved.

Equium M40x-189 - What drivers/utilities I need to install?

Dear All,
Equium m40x-189
Reloaded Windows XP, but havent found the Toshiba Utilities and drivers disk that must have come with the lappy, not a lot works and in Device Manager there are a load of devices with yellow alerts.
The internal wireless is not seeable, nor is a wireless card slotted into the PCMI expansion slot on the side.
These are just the first things I noticed were not available. Need wireless to get to the internet to register Windies.
I am not sure which drivers/utilities I need to download and install from the Toshiba download drivers web site.
Is there such a thing as a list or instructions any where that details what drivers/utilities are required to make all the 'bits' work on a newly Windows loaded laptop.?
Any help would be of immense value.
Best regards
Mark

Hi
As you already said on the Toshiba European driver download page you can download all necessary drivers and tools for your notebook.
Furthermore on the website you will find the installation instructions document. Use this list as a recommended driver and software installation order.
I think this is such a list that you mean so check this!!!
Last but not least I think must install every driver and download on the Toshiba page because they are necessary for a properly working notebook.
If you have more questions, please let us know.

Equium L300 - Will not install anything other than Microsoft downloads

Equium L300 updated with Windows 7. I am a novice where PCs are concerned so any help welcomed. My notebook will not install "programmes" (eg Java AVG etc etc) It down loads, ask to run then nothing happens. It used to ! .
I have tried just about everything I can think of but now can't see the wood for the trees. I stand to lose 50 after trying to update my sat nav!

Thanks for your reply(s)... you may think "moron" but where is setup.exe. I have turned of Firewall and uninstalled Norton and previously AVG.
It seems that if the "programme" eg adobe, Google Earth is in my PC already it will install .New things seem to be the problem. I installed Windows 7 But I seem to remember that I had this prob before with XP and foolishly thought that it would resolve it's self.
I am terrible for looking into the background and checking and un checking things I know nothing about could it be something as simple as that ?
what would happen if I used the recovery discs!!?? and how do I do it safely
Sorry to be so thick ......woman driver !!!!!!!!!!!!

For example, for the bluetooth and wlan drivers, there are 2 drivers to choose from, MediaTek(Ralink) 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) Adapter and Mediatek 802.11 Wireless LAN Adapter Driver, same for the bluetooth and other drivers. Can you please assist me which drivers is compatible or which drivers do I need to install at my laptop? Or how will I know which drivers I need to install. Thanks!

Hi:
Looking at another forum post regarding that model, it indicated that your model has an Atheros wireless/bluetooth card.
So, you would need to install these wireless and bluetooth drivers...

N200 Which Drivers for a clean install?

Laptop is an n200 0769-eug. Windows Vista Label - XP Pro install.
This Laptop developed an issue and refused to boot into windows. Attempts to use the recovery program resulted in even the recovery program disappearing! Using the Lenovo button just results in a cycle of restarting without ever getting anywhere.
So I formated C: and did a fresh install of XP. (No recovery discs were available)
Now at least it boots to windows desktop.
Now I need to install all the drivers. Trouble is which ones and in which order.
Entering the serial no on the lenovo site produces a list of drivers but there are different options for some eg Intel video or nvidia video, and a choice of three different wireless drivers.
The Lenovo site also listed the shipped items as follows ....

Go to Solution.

Here is your driver page:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67855
You have Intel graphics chipset.
I usually install in this order:
Chipset driver (Intel inf)
System Interface Driver
Graphics
Audio
Lan
Wireless Lan ( Intel Wireless LAN (abg))
Card Reader
Touchpad
Modem
Bluetooth
Power Management (If it is not working correctly)
Hotkey Utility
Fingerprint Reader (if you have one)
Others as you see fit. (Usb Registry Patch, Wake on Lan, PC DR, System Toolbox)
When you open the downloaded file, it will unpack into a folder.
Pay attention to the instructions that should pop up after unpacking!
Reboot after each driver install.
This would be my strategy for a clean install.
I hope it works for you!

Equium L300 CD/DVD Drive no longer reads disks

There is already a thread with a similar problem to this with a different model, but it seems to have died.
The CD/DVD drive on my Equium L300-148 now refuses to read disks. It seems to burn them still, which is strange.
That must mean the laser has not burnt out, and the drivers seem to be working correctly.
I can see the drive in Explorer and I can eject it with the context menu.
I have tried a "Disable" then "Enable" in the Device Manager, but I have not tried uninstalling the drive then restarting.
Any help would be apreciated.

Hello
To make things clear: there are no much options you can try. You can try to remove optical disc drive from device manager and restart the notebook. The drive will be recognized automatically and the drive will be ready for use.
Can you tell us more about this issue?
Which formats you have tried to open? DVD movies, music CDs, different data files?
Is there some error message?
If you don't have external HDD you can save all important data onto empty DVD medias.
Of course the best way to check functionality is to set factory settings again, but if you don't want to do this it makes things more complicated.
What you can do is to contact nearest service provider. They can install recovery image on separate HDD and test the functionality. If there is some serious problem the drive will be replaced for free (if the warranty is still valid).

Can't boot EQUIUM L300 using recovery disk

Hi,
I am looking at a friends L300 and it begins to boot Vista and gives the 'WINDOWS ERROR RECOVERY' window. When you continue with the repair option the laptop then continues to 'load the windows files' and moves onto the next part which shows Microsoft Corparation with the loading bar.
After about 40 to 50 seconds everything stops.
I have purchased a recovery disk (as the owner does not have one/did not create one) from Toshiba using the serial number on the base PSLB2E-003004KS. When I load from the recovery disk I get exactly the same result as above.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks for reading.
Andrew

Equium L300-146 (PSLB2E-003004KS)
So the recovery appears to run to completion and then Windows won't boot. Is that what happens, Andrew?
Be sure there are no peripherals connected to the computer.
Otherwise, I can only imagine a hardware or BIOS problem.
Can't hurt to flash the BIOS.

The drivers won't install

The drivers won't install>Hi
I have a very old MP3 player which I recently started using again. It is around 5 or 6 years old and I think the model name is just Creative ZEN. The model number is DAP-HD005.
Following a hardware failure on my old PC a couple of months ago, I have recently got? a new PC, which runs on Windows 7 (64 bit). The old PC was about 5 years old and ran Windows XP. I have just tried to installm the software that came with the product on the installation disc but it won't load. I have also tried to find anything on theCreative site that will help, but nothing I have downloaded has so far solved the problem. I understand that the player is so old it is unlikely to be supported, but I wondered if there is some generic software that I have missed that I can install which will allow my PC to recognise the player.
Failing this, is gthere a way to make the player work with a Macbook? I tried to install the software on my wife's Macbook, but it wouldn't even try to run.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

You should be able to use compatabilty mode for XP to install this [url="http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=00098">driver[/url]. It may freeze during the install & not progress but if it does & it lasts longer than 0mins exit it & reboot anyway. Then connect the player. Others have used this method & have been using their older players. I used this method on my Vista comp to install an older nomad player. Download the driver rightclick on the driver choose properties>compatabilty>Xp>then Ok. Then run the file & follow the instructions.

[nForce] Drivers Won't Install

I have a K7N2 Delta2 motherboard. It has a NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset. I am trying to install the drivers for these integrated components:
NVIDIA nForce2 AGP Host to PCI Bridge
NVIDIA nForce2 Memory Controller
NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 Memory Controller
NVIDIA MCP2S Parallel ATA Controller (v2.6)
NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management
I also had problems installing the Ethernet drivers, but they installed successfully recently. I am trying to install the latest 5.10 nForce2 drivers. On all the components above, I get the following error message.
An error occured during the installation of this device
Access is denied.
I am logged in as a member of the Administrators group. I also tried it as Administrator. I cannot get these drivers to install. Any ideas?
My computer specs:
AMD Athlon 1200Mhz
K7N2 Delta2 motherboard with the latest BIOS flash (W6570NMS V11.5)
Kingston ValueRam 512MB 400Mhz CL3
NVIDIA GeForce2 Pro AGP video card (don't remember what brand, maybe MSI)
Windows XP Professional with SP2 downloaded and installed
anything else needed?

OK, I booted into safe mode, removed the old VIA drivers from the %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder, and then saw that the nForce2 drivers from a previous install were in Add & Remove Programs. I believe that to be my entire problem. So I uninstalled all NVIDIA drivers. Rebooted into Safe Mode. Installed all the 5.10 drivers with success, excluding the sound driver cuz I don't need it. Rebooted. Windows hangs during loading screen. Reset, then I hit F8 and choose Last Known Good Configuration. Remove all NVIDIA drivers again. Reboot into Safe Mode. Install one driver at a time and reboot inbetween. System hangs because of the IDE driver. So, choose Last Known Good Configuration again, uninstall all NVIDIA drivers, reboot to Safe Mode, reinstall all drivers but IDE, then boot Windows normally. Needed to install display driver, as I have a NVIDIA card. Did that, disabled nwiz and NvMcTray in msconfig as I always do. Reboot. My SYSTEM registry hive is corrupted. So after wiping Linux (which I never use anyway cuz my modem is not Linux compatible) off my other drive and installing Windows and the Internet on it, I found out how to take the registry from a previous Restore Point and copy it to the config folder. Did that, booted to that drive, had to uninstall and reinstall all NVIDIA drivers again, but it works now. I don't have tons of System devices like you Fredrik, but I do have 3 Motherboard resources, which is weird. Whatever. Thanks for all your help, guys

G60-235dx no audio seen and drivers refuse to install

what can I do to get audio back? I have had a HD failure and reinstalled the OS when it finished I see nothing but red x at speaker and no audio seen.

Quote from: Bigglesw0rth on 16-December-07, 09:48:28
The system stats are irrelevant. The mobo is in the subject. 7125-60 is the exact model.
Windows install (the whole XP line) only needs two files in the initial phase of install (after F6). This is simply so the installer itself can see the RAID. After that (directly after the format if you choose to format) and right before the install starts loading all the files it needs before the first restart, it will access teh floppy to get the rest of what it needs for XP itself to be able to see the RAID. That is what is not happening.
In Xp Pro (non Media Center Edition), the second access of the floppy after the format goes though perfectly fine. In Media Center Edition it tried to access teh floppy, then simply refuses to load the files off teh floppy.
Its pissing me off at this point. Right now my theory is that some sort of asinine protection Microsoft "protection" (possibly driver sig) is blocking the drivers from loading, and XP MCE is loading its own non-working retarded drivers.
Ive tried slipstreaming and it didnt work the first time. I dont have vmware to test it on and I dont want to screw up too many DVDs, and simply using XP Pro is not a solution, its a 'i give up' stage.
Hi,
A couple of thoughts:
1) When you load the initial driver floppy (F6), does it give you a choice of which drivers to load? Typically, when I've had to do the F6 thing, there'd be multiple sets of drivers, and I'd get a menu and have to select the correct one. If so, was there a menu item specifically for XP Media Edition (or whatever it's called)?
2) Are you by any chance using a USB floppy drive? There's a reference here to an MS KB article (916916) about compatible USB floppies:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.intel/msg/df7b2411c347566f
but, I searched the MS KB, and couldn't find that article.
