Increase ram Satellite Pro L300 PSLB1A-01L019 what type? and can't find 2nd slot!

I am wanting to increase ram in my Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB1A-01L019. it has 1gb of ram at the moment. 2.00GHz and CPU 550.
I opened the back of the laptop and found 1 slot but can't find the other one -where is it?! and how do I get at it?
Also wondering if it matters what type of ram I get DDR2 PC2-5300 or DDR2 PC2-6400- what is the difference? and does it matter what brand of ram -would any of these be ok?

Satellite Pro L300 PSLB1A: Recovery disk not working - 0xc000000f error

I get error 0xc000000f when restarting and if i try the recovery disk i get error error: 10-FC12-0241
operating system is vista business and laptop is toshiba L300 PSLB1A - 02S008

Hi
You mean you cannot boot the notebook using the Toshiba Recovery disk which you have created?
Go to the BIOS and check if the CD/DVD drive is recognized. It should be listed on the first BIOS page.
If the CD/DVD drive is not listed then you should set the SATA mode to compatible and should save the changes.
After that try to boot again from the Recovery disk.
I also searched on the Toshiba European driver page for some info and found some details;
There is a firmware update for CD/DVD drive TS-L633A and TS-L633P.
This Firmware solve "Sometime not able to writing on DVD+R media".
The issue happens only DVD+R media, other kind of media have no problem.

Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A-02L001) - Remove Vista and install Windows XP

I am awaiting delivery of a L300. I also bought XP as I want to instal XP as soon as I get the L300. The laptop comes with Vista installed which I have never liked.
I was intending to create a Vista recovery disk just to be safe before I start the conversion.
I was going to let the XP installation disc reformat and partition the HD.
I was also going to download all the XP drivers for my model from the Toshiba website, then instal them once the XP installation had completed.
Is there anything I should be aware of, or have missed?

Hi!
I think you are right but before you do something let me give you some words of advices:
Before you do something on your notebook or start to install Windows XP you should create the Toshiba recovery disk of Windows Vista. I know that you dont like Vista but with these disks you can every time restore the factory settings of your notebook. Independent on that you have installed on your notebook. You must only boot from the recovery disk and follow the screen instructions. The factory settings will be restored in few minutes and you must not install additional drivers. The disk contains already all drivers and tools from Toshiba and so you can save a lot of time!!! Furthermore if you get some problems with your notebook you can test it with factory settings to determine if its a software or hardware problem. As you can see its very useful and easy the recovery disk.
According the XP installation you need a Microsoft disk. You should format the HDD and then you can create the partitions as you want. In your case I would make one partition for the system and a second one for your data. The point is if you have to reinstall Windows XP at some point you must not backup the data first because they are already stored on the second partition and for reinstall Windows XP you must only format the first partition. Of course you can do what you want but so I install Windows on my notebooks.
Last but not least the drivers you can get from the Toshiba Australian website, thats right. I think it should not be a problem to install it so just download all and the Toshiba tools. After this the installation of XP is complete and you can do what you want.
By the way, if you have installed all drivers and tools for XP you can make an image of your installation. For example with Acronis True Image. So you can restore your XP installation at every time and I think this can help you to save time. I have good experience with Acronis and I make an image of my custom installations too.
I hope that was useful for you and if you have more questions, please let us know.
Have fun with your new Toshiba notebook! :)
Bye

Satellite Pro L300 -software-service says I need update for graphics driver

I downloaded the DesignByMe software from http://designbyme.lego.com/en-us/default.aspx
The installation run without problems, but when I want to start the program it restarts over and over again. The picture doesnt load fully, instead there are black spots. I cant click on anything nor close to programm .I thought maybe the installing process didnot finish properly so I downloaded the software again but the problem is still the same. Im using a new Satellite Pro L300 28w with Windows 7 and Mozilla Firefox 3.6
I contacted the lego support and they answered: "You most likely need to update your graphics driver. Please contact your computer manufacturers customer service or website for a free upgrade"
Is this likely and if so which upgrad edo I need?

Hi
I dont know if updating your display driver can solve this problem but if the manufacture of the software says that its worth a try!!! ;)
The update is pretty easy: Firstly download the latest version here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
If you have downloaded the latest version, remove the old one firstly. Check the software list in control panel and follow the screen instructions. I assume you have to make one restart and after this you can install the downloaded version.
Good luck! :)

I've got some questions about Satellite Pro L300

1.) How could I Update my Bios? I find the zip- File but no further Information how it works?
2.) I want to update for more memory. 2GB are less for fast working. Where could I find Informations about the memory controller- e.g. Voltage, Timings... for pass new memory of 4GB.
3.) My PSSD1E shows me in Windows7 - Systems Hardware one empty SATA- Controller.
Is it possible to take it optional for an outgoing connection- eg SATA-OUT for extrenal device?
Sorry for my worst english.

Satellite Pro L300 is offered with several different hardware configurations. I dont know which one do you have and there is no sense to discuss about this without exact notebook info.
If you want to have general conversation here than dont claim about this forum.
To get some precise answers inform us about exact notebook model.
One more time:
1
For all new notebook models Toshiba offers Win update only. That means BIOS update can be done under running operating system. For more details check Toshiba document.
2
What you need is just part number of compatible RAM modules. All other information is not so relevant for you. If you want to get this info post exact notebook model.
You can test what you want but fact is that Toshiba offers list of compatible RAMs you can use with your notebook. All listed RAMs are tested. Other way you can visit KINGSTON page to check their list of compatible models for different Toshiba notebook models. Kingston offers high quality products and all listed RAMs are tested too.
Who knows which RAMs you have used for your tests? Maybe some cheap no-name products. Many people have used such RAMs and at the end nothing worked.
3
Why you complicate the whole situation? For external devices you have available ports. For internal device you have ports on the motherboard. End of the story.
And yes, visit your local dealer ant talk with him, especially about question number 3.

Satellite Pro L300-1FN does not boot - hangs at BIOS splash screen

My Satellite pro L300-1FN is refusing to boot up. When switched on the laptop displays the toshiba/insyde H20 BIOS splash screen and the "Press F2 go to Setup Utility, F12 go to boot menu" message and flashes the hard disk access light but does not attempt to continue loading. I have left the bios at the splash screen but it does nothing for many hours on AC or runs the battery flat while on battery.
Is there a way of re-setting the BIOS on this unit? If it were a desktop unit I would remove the CMOS battery to force a BIOS reset but this is impossible on a laptop. The hard disk is fine as I have connected it to another system to remove valuable data.

*I managed to fix this issue* ,,, thanks to some other dudes on other forums
What i did was Format a Floppy disk as MS-DOS boot using a Windows XP PC and USB floppy drive, then downloaded the latest BIOS for my L300-1BW laptop model, copied *.fd bios image to the floppy disk and renamed it to BIOS.fd.
Connect FDD to the toshiba laptop with out AC connected. Held Power button for 12 seconds, connected AC adapter, then held Fn+F, powered on , and kept the Fn+F keys held down for about 10 seconds into the reading of the floppy drive just to be sure, then let go. The screen was black throughout the process. I left this for a few minutes, or until it had finished, the laptop rebooted itself, and voila, it now goes passed the TOSHIBA POST logo screen :)
I hope this helps others with Toshiba Laptops. should work for any Toshiba laptop.

Satellite Pro L300 1AI LCD screen backlight not working

Hi All,
I have a Satellite Pro L300 1AI running Windows Vista the computer boots up and works fine but the backlight on the screen does not appear to be working.
Are there any settings in Vista that can affect this (other than the Fn key command on the keyboard and the settings in Control Panel)? Strangely it only seems to have happened since i installed Skype but I can't see how that could possibly affect it.
Any help is gratefully appriciated...

Hi
Whats wrong exactly? Is notebooks display brightness too low?
Do you see everything on the screen like behind a thick fog?
Well, usually the FL inverter controls the display backlight and if the FL inverter starts to malfunction then you would get the problem like this one.
There is no other solution as to replace this FL inverter.
Its a tiny part behind the display frame I think its a job for an ASP technician

8 questions from new owner of Satellite Pro L300

Hello all forum users!
I bought a new Toshiba laptop, the Satellite Pro L300, and have until 14 January to test it - if it looks like it isn't working properly I'll return it to the store where I purchased it.
Here's a list of questions I have:
1. Every time I turn on the laptop or it comes out of suspended or hibernation mode, and when I turn it off, the cd/dvd drive makes a loud mechanical clunky noise.
It sounds to me like the carriage that carries the laser and optics is running into a mechanical stop.
Is this normal?
2. There is one hot subpixel on the display (blue) and according to the Toshiba info in the box, this is normal and is not cause for return.
Should I be concerned about this?
3. When I run the memory test at system boot, it states that it will start windows automatically at test termination, and show me the results of the test.
It runs the test, starts Vista, but I don't see any results report.
Where do I find this report?
Is there a known problem with this test?
4. The Toshiba utility program to perform diagnostics from within Vista does not work. Every time I run the test (PCdiag.exe) I get a Vista error message saying a fault was found in KERNEL32.dll.
Where can I get a fix for this?
I've already installed the updated files on Toshiba's web site for the 'Value Added Pack', which is where this utility is located, but still get the error message.
5. I would like to access the bios settings at boot, but haven't found the way to do it yet.
F2 gives me a menu for memory test or normal system boot.
Esc doesn't get me into bios setup either.
There is a Toshiba bios utility I can run from Vista, and from what I see any bios firmware upgrades are also to be done through Vista.
Is there a way to access bios at boot?
6. I would like to run XP on this system and understood that this model (Pro L300 PSLB1E) was XP compatible, and that I should be able to download all drivers from Toshiba to run on XP.
Has anyone done this?
7. The laptop installed and configured Vista basic when I did the first power on, but the license sticker on the bottom of the laptop has a product key for 'Vista Business OEMAct'. I was sold this laptop as having Vista Business with the option to downgrade to XP Pro. The box didn't come with any cds or dvds, and no manuals explaining how to install Vista Business.
This is enough reason to return the laptop to the store where I bought it, which is a hassle I would prefer to avoid if I can install Vista Business.
Can anyone help me understand what is happening here?
8. Is there a way to contact technical support by email?
Thanks in advance to anybody that can answer any of the above questions!

> 1. Every time I turn on the laptop or it comes out of suspended or hibernation mode, and when I turn it off, the cd/dvd drive makes a loud mechanical clunky noise.
My CD/DVD drives make similar noise too from time to time. Not always but sometimes. I think this appears because the drives laser lens calibrates in the right position.
> 2. There is one hot subpixel on the display (blue) and according to the Toshiba info in the box, this is normal and is not cause for return.
Well, you need an certain amount of dead pixels to get a screen replacement
Please check this FAQ:

> 3. When I run the memory test at system boot, it states that it will start windows automatically at test termination, and show me the results of the test.
There is no problem. I believe you mean the memory test while POST (power on self test). If there would be a memory fault then your notebook would not boot up properly.
> 4. The Toshiba utility program to perform diagnostics from within Vista does not work. Every time I run the test (PCdiag.exe) I get a Vista error message saying a fault was found in KERNEL32.dll.
Hmm the Value Added Package contains the PC diagnostic tool for Vista. I would recommend removing the old VAP and reinstalling the new downloaded from the page.
> 5. I would like to access the bios settings at boot, but haven't found the way to do it yet. F2 gives me a menu for memory test or normal system boot. Esc doesn't get me into bios setup either. There is a Toshiba bios utility I can run from Vista, and from what I see any bios firmware upgrades are also to be done through Vista.
The notebook seems to use the Phoenix BIOS and therefore pressing the F2 button should enable the BIOS. Press the F2 immediately after notebook has been powered up.
> 6. I would like to run XP on this system and understood that this model (Pro L300 PSLB1E) was XP compatible, and that I should be able to download all drivers from Toshiba to run on XP.
Such XP drivers are placed on the Toshiba European page.
>7. The laptop installed and configured Vista basic when I did the first power on, but the license sticker on the bottom of the laptop has a product key for 'Vista Business OEMAct'. I was sold this laptop as having Vista Business with the option to downgrade to XP Pro. The box didn't come with any cds or dvds, and no manuals explaining how to install Vista Business.
Never hear that this notebook would be delivered with Vista business As far as I know this series has been preinstalled with Vista Home Premium
> 8. Is there a way to contact technical support by email?
If you have some problems with your notebook you can contact your ASP in your country.

Satellite Pro L300 1AD Can't install display driver on Windows XP

I just installed XP on my Satellite pro because my internet modem doesnt work with Vista.
I went on the main Toshiba website to install the display drivers but they wont install, it keeps bringing up the message "this driver is not for this computer please contact manufacturer".
I dont understand why because all the other drivers I downloaded off the same page work, its just the display one. Does anyone know whats wrong?

Have you downloaded the newest driver for Satellite Pro L300?
On the Toshiba website its version 6.14.10.4953.
Alternative you can try the drivers from Intel but normally the Toshiba driver should work.
I always use the Toshiba driver and never had problems.
By the way, I looked on this Toshiba website:

Satellite Pro L300/L300D series wont start properly

Hi guys
I got a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300/L300D series and basically one day the laptop just stopped working and whenever I turned it on I just got to this blank page saying press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart the system. So I tried to reboot it pressing F12 and using a new copy of Vista Ultimate. However when I come to install Vista on the drive it states that there is no drive present on the system.
Does anyone have any idea how I can overcome this problem, your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

>What do I need to do and how can i create a partition if the computer wont start.
Can you please explain this again? It sounds pretty illogic to me. If your computer wants start how you can try to install OS?
Sorry my friend but now I am asking myself do we understand us correctly or I write about thing A and you write answer about something that I can define as thing B.
Again:
Start your notebook and press F12 to enter boot device options
Put Vista installations DVD into optical disc drive
Choose CD/DVD drive in the list and press ENTER
Installations DVD will load (Windows is loading files...)
Follow the menu on the screen
When the stage with partitions is shown on the bottom right side (Drive options advanced)
The additional menu on the bottom will be shown
Delete all listed partitions/partition
Use option NEW and create new one
Try to install Vista on this new created partition.
Can you do this or not?

Satellite Pro L300-EZ1004X - TouchPad stopped working, BIOS update does not help

I have a Satellite Pro L300-EZ1004X laptop. Few days ago TouchPad stopped working. This is not a Fn + F9 issue.
In Device Manager it looks like hidden device and has (!) on it. Re-installing Synaptics drivers, updating them, removing the device in Safe Mode - nothing works. (TouchPad did not work in Safe Mode). One of the forums mentioned BIOS update. For some strange reason the latest BIOS for this specific laptop is from 2008 (ver. 1.5). Other L300 laptops have option to update BIOS to ver. 2.20 (2010) but not mine! I tried to load it (ver. 2.20)from Windows and from boot disk without success. I installed BIOS ver. 1.5. After reboot - keyboard stop working! And TouchPad ... still dead and still appears as hidden device. Using external mouse I restarted the laptop and get into the BIOS settings. In Advanced Settings disabled TouchPad completely. KEYBOARD START WORKING IN WINDOWS!!!
Any suggestions on how to make this TouchPad to work? Or how to get newer BIOS for this Laptop?
Thank you in advance!

Sounds like it has died, you can purchase a new one from a parts supplier and pay someone to install it or if you are any good with such things you can try to do it yourself. I suggest just sticking with the external mouse.

CPU upgrade of my Satellite Pro L300-152

hello
my laptop is a :
Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-152
Model no. PSLB1E-01R015EN
Celeron 560 2.13GHz
Can someone tell me which CPU I can safely upgrade this with, I use it in a fairly cool environment and would like just a few more 100mhz from it.
Thank you for your support

Before we start discussion about CPU upgrade check please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
My personal opinion is that CPU upgrade will not help much and you will not realize some big difference in notebook performance. In my opinion you need more RAM or better and faster SSD. This brings better and more performance than some CPU with 100mhz more than old one.

Satellite Pro L300 - Keyboard and touchpad issues

Hi
I have just baught my GF a refurbed Toshiba laptop for her 21st birthday from a reliable source, its a Satellite Pro L300.
I started it up did all the setup stuff it told me to only to find that the touchpad and keyboard will not work AT ALL.
The keyboard caps lock key doesn't even light up when I press it,
I've downloaded all the latest drivers for EVERYTHING inc. the touchpad, this has made no difference,
I'm running out of ideas fast and coming to terms with the fact that the keyboard and touchpad might be faulty and as a result ill have to give my GF a faulty laptop for hewr 21st, not happy :(
Does any1 have any ideas?
Thanks :)
Edit: OK, very odd, right after i sent this message i tried the keyboard one more time and it works fine?
Could it be something 2 do with the downloading of the VAP package?
The touch pad is still knackered even when i try the fn + f9 combo?
2nd Edit: Ok now the keyboard has stopped working again!
WHAT ON EARTH!?

Hi
Looks like a keyboard issue. who knows why it doesnt work looks like something would be wrong
I recommend visiting your dealer and asking for replacement
Otherwise you could contact the ASP in your country for a fix
I think this is everything what you could do
Good luck
