Fan is working so fast on Satellite A300D

Hi everybody!
My machine is Satellite A300D 17-F with Vista!
For a long time it had a problem which is about HDD because of the bad sectors. I guess I solved it with a program named maxtor blast4. I have set up it to xp sp3 and it became more fast.
But fan! Fan is working so fast :) I try power saver driver but it was not set up.
What can I do??

If you want to slow down fun speed change cooling method option to min level.
This option you can find in Toshiba power saver tool.

  • Battery discharges very fast on Satellite A300D-17F

    Hi brothers!
    I set up windows 7 on my notebook. It is so useful and fast but today an issue.
    About battery. A warning that like this "changing your battery may helpful".
    It is discharging the power very fast.
    So what should I do? (A300D-17F and used one year only)

    Hi
    You should know that the battery working time depends on the notebook usage. Running powerful applications and the high usage of HDD, graphic card, CPU, ODD or high display brightest decreases the battery working time!
    At the other hand the battery performance will decrease during the time this means the older the battery is the lower would be the performance
    My old battery is dead I can use the notebook only for 1 min with battery power.
    In such cases only the battery replacement can help.

  • Satellite A300D - Upgrading from Vista - "Setup.exe has stopped working"

    Hello,
    I am using Satellite A300D with Vista and I have been trying to upgrade to Windows 7 using the Toshiba Upgrader.
    After choosing the language and proceeding with other steps, it asks me to uninstall a bunch of programs. Some are uninstalled just fine but when it comes four other programs it says "Setup.exe has stopped working" and it does not uninstall.
    I have tried uninstalling them manually but I got the same message.
    These programs are;
    Atheros Driver Installation Program
    Toshiba Hardware Setup
    Toshiba Supervisor Password
    Realtek High Definiton Audio Driver
    As a result I cannot proceed with the upgrade.
    Anyone know what the issue might be?
    thanks in advance,
    Can - TR

    I am having the exact same problem. I have the toshiba satellite 350D. I am only stuck at the atheros driver installation program. As soon as it's supposed to be uninstalled I receive the " setup.exe. has stopped working" I tried uninstalling manually as well and get the same message.
    I think the only fix would be to reinstall vista and then try upgrading to windows 7 again. I would like to stay away from reformatting though.
    I would love an answer to this question as well!! (frustrating)

  • Display driver for Satellite A300D doesn't work

    Hi all,
    At first, please, sorry for my English :)
    So, I have big problem with my graphic card.

    So Ive reinstalled my Windows Vista, but graphic driver (downloaded from official website) dont works. I downloaded drivers from similar website...same problem....Vista, XP...no function.
    Help me someone please (and dont recommend me other systems, like Linux etc... ;-) Thanks!!!

    Hi
    The Toshiba ATI graphic card driver from the Toshiba European drive page works!
    I dont know what you did and what notebook you have but usually there are different A300D series and you should firstly ensure that you have chosen the right series in the driver download form before you would download any drivers!!
    After you have downloaded the driver, unzip it and then execute the setup file.

  • Satellite A300D-135 - BIOS - System Configuration Data Read Error

    After Booting a Satellite A300D-135 laptop the following error message appears:
    <Several BIOS messages >
    3070M Extended RAM Passed
    512 KB L2 Cache
    System BIOS shadowed
    Video BIOS shadowed
    ATAPI CD-ROM: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H
    Fixed Disk 0: TOSHIBA MK2546GSX
    Mouse initialized
    ERROR
    System Configuration Data Read Error
    Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to Setup
    After pressing F1 the machine boots Windows just fine, but the error message is quite irritating while it comes with a loud BEEP
    I've tried the following things so far (in this particular order):
    - Loaded BIOS defaults
    - Flashed the BIOS with latest BIOS (2.80) for this model type
    - Reinstalled windows with HDD format
    All of these haven't worked.
    I've seen the same message appearing on several places on the internet (on different laptops with a Phoenix BIOS in common), but until now I haven't been able to find a working solution.
    It might me a hardware issue, but all devices (vga, soiund, lan, wifi, usb, hdd) seem to work just fine in Windows, so this doesn't seem the issue). Another solution that is mentioned in some forums is replacing the cell battery. But because the laptop keeps time properly I don't think this is the case either.
    Any ideas ?
    Regards,
    GJ

    Hi buddy,
    It seems that the power on self test has detected a hardware error... :(
    I think such a problem like this you cant solve with loading the default settings in BIOS or with an update because its hardware based error.
    In your case I would contact an authorized service provider. The guys can check your notebook because they have special diagnostic tools for Toshiba notebooks and access to all Toshiba databases I think.
    You can find a list of them here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Find an authorized service provider
    Usually they work really fast and you will have a short repair time I think. In my case it did take only one week until I got my notebook back. :)

  • 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 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.

    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.

  • Few questions about Satellite A300D-14P functionality

    I have model Satellite A300D-14P for one month. Warranty 2 yrs. I have few questions, and asking for help, and suggestions what I should do?
    *My camera quality * is VERY poor, Only with very much light on, I can get generally ok picture quality. Indoor, beside turned on both options, night mode or backlight compensation I hardly can see my face, very dark and poor quality. Second problem is blue led light, it is annoying because half of picture is always blue, somehow that light taking half picture which is always blue:((( I used notebook model from L300 series ( cheaper than mine) with same camera and that blue light, it is working perfectly :(
    *Battery life and start up Vista OS*? ??In power save mode hardly 1.5h ??? Just surfing and nothing else....I asked Toshiba support here in Serbia about that and they told me that it is normal, and measuring of battery life (2, ...h) by specifications, is when my display is off and computer don't do anything ??? They also told me that normal start up time for Vista OS is around 1.45min maybe more???
    If I install win XP is it possible to get battery life longer?
    Do I need to go in Toshiba service or what?
    Thank you very much and sorry if I am boring :))))
    Nikola

    Hay Nikola
    You are not boring at all and welcome on this forum.
    I don't know where to start. ;).
    I have Satellite A300-1LI in front of me and I use it about a month now. Start-up time is very interesting theme and with right configuration you can optimise it and make it much shorter as with factory setting. Please read one very interesting thread about it under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
    Do the same with your Satellite and I hope you will be satisfied.
    Battery running time? I must say that information about two hours is realistic and I can confirm it. The same on my Satellite. But to be honest for mobile computing it is OK. I have changed several notebooks and just business notebook Tecra has had linger battery running time. What you can do is to check Toshiba support site and pick up info about more powerful battery. I am not sure but you can use Battery Pack (Li-Ion, 9 Cell, 6000mAh).
    About cam I cannot say much. On my Satellite it works OK and I am satisfied. OK the quality is not the same like on good external webcams but for integrated cam it is OK.
    If you are not satisfied try to talk with nearest service or try to compare it with some other Satellite by your local dealer.
    So Nikola, if you have more questions please post again.

  • Intel SpeedStep and Fan not working

    Hello,
    I have an older Toshiba laptop: Satellite M30 (PSM30C-7100K).  A couple of years ago I had replaced the motherboard but have not noticed until now that the fan is never on and that the CPU is always stuck at 600MHz (Capable of 1.6GHz).  I have tried the following with no results:
    -  Testing the fan which works when tested on another motherboard
    -  Using the windows PC diagnostic utility - which shows everything as PASS
    -  I made sure that the DMI information was updated on the motherboard (Satellite M30) and now my restore DVD works
    -  I have the latest BIOS update 1.7
    -  I have tried all the BIOS setting for the speedstep functions (Always High, Dynamically Switchable etc.)
    -  I have tried CPU-Z and PRIME 95 to load and monitor the CPU frequency - with no increase in frequency
    I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions, since I think I have exhausted all the standard options?
    Does anyone have any info on the PC diag (DOS based) utility that can be used via a serial cable to test this toshiba motherboard?  I found this as a troubleshooting option in the service manual I found on the internet.
    Are the motherboard schematics available?  This unit is old so it might be an option from the Toshiba side.
    Any feedback or advice is welcome.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi! Here's a program I use. Please be careful down loading software programs from the internet. I try hard to make sure I post a healthy site. There is a new thing out there. It's called a down load manager. It's showing up every where. I have tried to get help here on the forum to inform our members. Down load manager will put all kinds of crap on your PC. I post my little warning every chance I get. So far I haven't gotten any response from members or staff. I just keep giving the warning.

     PS When down loading software, always save it before running it. That way you should see if your down loading some thing different than you intended If you want to help me get staff's attention, it would be apreciated. Attached screen shots tell  the story. Some times I just shake my head and wonder why no one listens to Dokie!!

  • Satellite A300D restarts all the time

    Hi,
    My Toshiba Satellite A300D 14P restarts all the time and i cant do anything!
    I turned it off last night and today when i pressed the power button it worked for 1-2 secs and then did a restart again and again.
    My display doesn't show anything (because it works only for 1-2 secs).
    Any ideas?

    On this virtual way it is not easy to say what the problem is and Im afraid you need professional help with this issue. Maybe you should contact nearest Toshiba service provider and let them check your notebook.
    Problem is that your options are very limited and all you can try is to check if notebook will starts with or without RAM, HDD or battery. Problem is that nothing is shown on the screen and you dont have even access to BIOS settings.
    It must be some serious hardware related issue.

  • PresarioCQ62 wont come on no lights,sounds,zip. fan quit working few week be4 mite help answer?

    My Compaq presario CQ62 219 WM does not come on, no lights sounds nothing, the fan quit working a while back but it would auto shut down at 92 deg. occasionally, so it didn't run hot very often at all. Then one day the screen just went black with a cursor at the top left corner and wouldn't do anything, wouldn't let me turn it off or on, nothing at all and I had to let the battery die and now it don't do anything. The power cord works fine for another HP laptop I have, I have switched the hard drive and ram sticks and it didn't change anything, not even the power light that is supposed to be on at all times when the cord is plugged in don't come on... any help please? I have too much tied up into this notebook wih programs and such to lose it all, just to name a couple I have adobe creative suite 5, microsoft office pro, and others (I need these programs for my college classes ASAP I can not afford to re-buy the programs). I mean really the battery went out on it just 10 days before the initial 1 year waranty ran out luckily and then 10 days after it ran out of waranty the fan went out.. I am not so worried about having to replace the fan it is rather cheap on Ebayonly like 9.49 I believe it was, and not to mention other than it breaking down on me just as the waranty went I really liked this notebook as it was plenty fast enough and worked well with my assignments for college and such as well as all the other gaming and hobbies I have on the notebook.. I had planned to buy upgrades from tthis site and build it up some as I'll be needing a bigger one once I graduate and start using it for my carreer (bachelors in technoligy in web design and I plan to add to that with a few other associates and such to exspand my opertunities for a while all in computer/internet/graphics/gaming areas of study). I built my first desktop PC from several PC's each having something wrong with them I bought them cheap and combind them into a somewhat super computer (at least for a 15 year old it was nice PC to get started with), I never was tought anything to do it I just read up n studied a lil online and hammer down self taught Thanks in advance

    Hey there,
    I would first try a hard reset to see if it bring the computer back to life.
    To Perform A Hard Reset
    Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for 5 seconds)
    Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
    Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook. There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
    Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
    Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.
    This will completely remove all power from the computer and then reintroduce the power, which sometimes resolves these types of issues. Are you about to see the power on screen or get into the BIOS when you turn it on?
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • Satellite A300D-126 - Need drivers for Windows 7

    Hello everyone.
    We have two problems with two drivers so:
    Display driver 8.634.1 - don't work zoom settings. New Catalyst 9.11 does not help me.
    Sound Driver 4.98.6.61 - failed instaled.

    What to do ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi mate,
    First of all you cant use Windows XP drivers on Windows 7. This will not work.
    You wrote about different drivers for Vista and XP Ok, the most Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7 but Satellite A300D is Windows 7 supported. That means you can already get Windows 7 drivers on the Toshiba page:
