My Satellite L300D-10Q never picks up a wireless connection

I have ConfigFree on the laptop and my Netgear router is turned on, but my laptop never picks up anything?
It says the laptop has wireless integrated and the switch is turned on with an orange light indicating that.
Any help please?

I had a similar problem on my L300D-13S, which I bought 2 days ago. After a few phone calls to several tech support guys (3 at Toshiba and one at my ISP), we got the problem sorted - someone at the factory had forgotten to install the wireless driver for the card.
The good news was that the driver is sitting in the Toshiba folder, ready to install, so hopefully you will be in the same position. As I type, I don't recall the exact location, but no doubt the tech support number at Toshiba will be able to point you in its direction.
Hoep this helps ! :-)

My IMac is no longer picking up my wireless connection.

My IMac all of a sudden is no longer picking up the wireless connection. It works with the ethernet cable attached. My I-phone picks up the wireless, and I have worked with my internet service provider and they can't help me. They said it was the router, but the I-phone works wirelessly here at home.
Any suggestions?
I will be deeply grateful. Thanks!

What version of OS X?
This is beyond my experience, but appears to be a solution for Snow Leopard.

Though you didn't happen to mention recently upgrading your OS X version so I'm not sure what would have caused this change.
Also, here is another form thread regarding this problem. Someone fixed it by shutting off the router!

Satellite L10: I want to install a wireless connection - How?

i have a satellite L10....and i want to install a wireless connection...on the help pages on config free it's said that the alternative "fast connecting" will appear after you install the toshiba wireless projector...what is that? and se anyone know how i can do this without getting myself more confused??

Hi
This is Toshiba wireless projector:
http://www.projectorcentral.com/wi-fi_toshiba_tlp-t501.htm
Like you can see its not a fast connecting Wireless card or something like that.
First of all it would be very interesting to know the detailed name of your unit because I dont know if your notebook has a wireless card or if its possible to upgrade the unit with the miniPCI wireless card.
If your notebook has a wireless card so you should need to enable the wireless antenna. The switch you should find at the unit side. Furthermore choose the wifi with the key combination FN+F8.
Well, now you need a AccesPoint in your neighborhood. If there is a one available so you should see it. Go to network connections. There you should select the wireless network and refresh network list.
But if you dont have a wireless card so you have to upgrade your notebook with the minPCI card, or USB wireless stick or a PCMCIA wireless card
Best regards

Realtek rtl8187b Wlan does not work on Satellite L300D-10Q

Every time I turn my laptop off next time I turn it on it will not connect to my router. I have to remove the driver and then reinstall the hardware. Can anyone help?

Done both and no firewall being used. It works the first time but then after you close the laptop and reopen it, it finds the router but only local connection.
Have to unistall and then find new hardware for it work again.

My wireless does not work on my ipad or my iphone. It is connected and laptop and kindle both work. Any idea why my apple products are not picking up the wireless? They did in the past up until 2 days ago.

My iphone and iPad suddently stopped picking up my wireless connection. Other products are able to connect (laptop and kindle). Any suggestions?

Try resetting your wireless router by unplugging the router from the power for about 30 seconds then plugging it back in.

Satellite U920T - dropping wireless connection

My Satellite U920T seems to sporadically drop its wireless connection and reverts to 'limited' connection which provides no internet access. This is the case on both my home and work wireless networks.
Can anyone offer any advice please?
Thank you

Do you use original preinstalled OS that you got with your notebook?
Is latest WLAN driver installed?
Is the situation the same when you use it with battery or AC power supply?
For testing purposes have you tried to restart your home router and check if the same will happen again?

Satellite L300D - Recovery image needed

Hello
I am trying to restore my laptop to factory settings. It is a Toshiba Satellite L300D and it has recently become infected with the windows vista security 2011 virus.
It still works in safe mode, and safe mode with networking but I dont want to risk it any more. I tried years ago to make a recovery DVD but it never worked.
Now I tried to recover from the Hard drive but it said it cannot locate HDD 1 and recommended trying to remove numbers from the partition which is something I dont really understand.
Either way I cannot recover to factory settings.
Is there anything I can do to get my hands on a recovery image or sort this out. Any help welcome. Thank you

Recovery image is designed for specific notebook model.
Recovery image contains operating system, all necessary drivers for certain hardware platform and all other additional stuff like tools and utilities.
You can try to install this recovery image from your brother but I cannot say for sure it will work 100%. It can happen that OS loads and after few seconds blue screen will be shown.
Look, if you like your notebook and you want to use it sometime, pay this 30 euro for original recovery disc and problem is solved.
Other way I must say that this old L300D runs well with Windows 7 so maybe it would be good solution for you to install Win7 and have much better OS than old Vista. This is, of course, more expensive option.
At the end it is only your decision what to do.

I have Satellite L300D and Ii have had about a year but I never tried burning DVDs.

Can anyone help me please have tried everything restoring my factory settings to when I first bought the laptop as new and still no joy desperately need help.
Any answers lol ?

Lot of people have problem installing WXP on new notebook because of missing SATA driver. Without this driver HDD will not be recognized properly and WXP installation cannot start because of missing HDD.
To avoid this SATA settings in BIOS can be changed from AHCI to compatibility. This is OK but HDD will not run on default speed and with full performance. So it is better to install WXP with SATA driver and AHCI settings.
Now when the WXP is installed you cannot change this BIOS settings. it will probably end with blue screen at start up. So if you want to have well working WXP on your notebook you must install WXP again (AHCI mode in BIOS).
In this forum you can find hundreds of threads with good explanation how to do this.
If this will help with DVD I don't know but I don't see any reason why you should not be able to use optical disc drive for burning DVDs.
I have Satellite A300 with WXP Sp3 and NERO. It burns all empty medias.

Need graphic card XP driver for Satellite L300D-043

Hi Everyone !
Here's one you never heard before - I toasted the OS on this Toshiba L300D-043 that is really a PSLC8C-043019 from it's bloody useless VISTA down to XP and I managed to dig up enough drivers for everything except the video card in it.
Now I show it as a ATI Radeon 3100 series, at least thats what the windows 7 install says it is .....
So one again the hunt continues .... does anyone know what other series of laptops has the same video chipset and it will install happilly on this PC?
I went to ATI and found the chipset and got told by the site they don''t provide it for the mobility series .... thanks ATI !
Once again, I need the XP version of a ATI video driver that will run on a Toshiba D300L-043 that used to be Vista and now runs XP Pro instead!!
Thanks for your help !!
Cheers'
Dave

Satellite L300D BSOD after upgrading to Windows 7

I've had this laptop (Satellite L300D) for a bit more than a year with windows vista (32-bit) running and there have been no problems. However, i just recently upgraded to Windows 7 (x64) and have gotten problems since the first reboot.
On the first reboot after windows 7 installation, the computer simply turned off after the "Starting Windows" screen. Powering it up again took me to system repair where it performed a system restore and i was able to boot successfully again. I thought the problem had something to do with the automatic updates so i disabled them and tried to reboot to see if the problem was fixed. This time, after the "Starting Windows" screen i got a Fatal System Error BSOD. After multiple reboot attempts and multiple system repair attempts (which usually said it failed) it successfully booted up again.
This problem has been going for about 3 weeks now and it's quite irritating. The results from the system repair claims that a "Boot Critical File is Corrupt" but it does boot up eventually after multiple attempts to boot. It also has a habit of turning itself off randomly while running (happens about once or twice a day). So as of now, everytime i try to start my comp it either turns off after the startup screen or gives the BSOD and restarts and the only way to get it working seems to be to keep attempting to boot and hope for a successful boot up (this eventually happens after a few failed attempts).
I did a bit of research on this and came to [this|http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?modelFilter=L300D-ST3501&rpn=PSLC8U&category=&selCategory=3&moid=222 1251&os=&ct=DL&selFamily=1073768663] page. I think that's exactly what my problem is (need to update BIOS) but as i understand the windows install for that is only for xp/2000/vista and i'm unable to use the second option of booting from disc as i get the BSOD before it gets to that point. Should i try the windows install option even though i'm running windows 7 or is there some other way to update the BIOS? Or am i completely off and the problem is with something else?
I wasn't sure what information i should add to this post so if any further information is required please let me know.
Thanks in advance
Edit: Oops, just realised the page i linked doesn't link to exactly what i had opened. I'm talking about the "Critical BIOS updates for 64-bit Windows 7" under "Support Bulletin"

Hi
First of all it would be interesting to know which BSOD code you get exactly. Can you post this useful information? Normally on the Microsoft Knowledge Base you can find additional informations about the most BSOD codes and so you can start to fix this issue.
BSOD are often related to drivers or RAM/HDD. Latter you can check with special diagnostic tools, Memtest86 for RAM and Drive Fitness Test for HDD. Both tools are freeware and you can find it by using Google. You can download an iso image of them to create a bootable media where you can start the test.
Regarding your BIOS update: I dont know which L300D you have exactly but according the Toshiba website it shows a BIOS update also for Windows 7 64bit. You can try to install it.

Satellite L300D-21P - Installation of Windows Vista 32bit failed

Hi!
I have recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300D-21P and now I wanted to install Windows Vista Business 32bit.
But the installation always stops at the point where the screen says "Completing installation ... ".
Do you have any idea what I have to do to solve this problem?
Thank you very much for your answers!
Greetz
Stefan

If you are using the Toshiba Recovery disk then you dont need to install SATA drivers.
If you are using Microsoft disk then you will need the SATA drivers.
But if the error message says that the installation is complete then the HDD has been recognized properly and you should not need the SATA drivers in such case.
> From where do I get the SATA-drivers?
It looks like your notebook supports AMD CPU and ATI chipset.
Graphic card driver contains the chipset driver and the necessary SATA drivers.
The graphic card driver contains the different folder and the drivers are placed in folder:
Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\Filter\NB

Satellite L300D - Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

Hello
I have Satellite L300D and I want to upgrade my operating system with windows 7. There is one link given but its not working the link is "http://www.toshiba.eu/windows7-upgrade"
So can any body help me?
thank you

Hi buddy,
The website that you mean is not available anymore because there was an upgrade offer for certain notebooks but this offer isnt available anymore.
So if you want to upgrade to Windows 7 you have to purchase a Microsoft Windows 7 disk, then you can start with Windows 7 upgrade.
If you have more questions, please let us know.

Satellite L300D-11A - DVD-drive issue and Blue Screen

Hi
I'm going out of my mind :o//
My Satellite L300D-11A was delivered with a Windows Vista Home Premium, but I recently made a clean installation of the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits.
Since then I have had problems with "Blue screen error's" comming randomly. Have purchased and installed a Registry clean up program, but that did not fix the problem. Any one else with that problem - and a possible solution.
And now for my big problem. My CD and DVD drive is driving me crazy ;o) It's a Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-850S ATA and from my search on the internet I have found that a lot of other Mat****a owners have had the same or similar problem(s). My drive will not regonize or play/read from CD's. DVD with movies or programs I can play. Burning CD's is not possible and burning DVD's is sometimes working, and other times not.
I have read about the different fixes that is posted - also here on the Toshiba forum - Non of the suggested solutions is working for me - any new solutions that I could try.
Seriously thinking about buying a external USB DVD drive/burner - but can someone please tell me why Toshiba does not get the fingers out off their B** and find a solution like it seams Sony has done.
Look forward to any reply ;o))
Someone once told me about this quote - "Don't wish it was easier - work on getting clever !" I need your help to get clever ;o))

> But I do not now how/where to get the registration keys! I have tried looking for them.
Are you talking about *Upper/Lower Filters* ?
Follow these instructions for clearing the Upper/Lower Filters:
Click on Start --> Run --> and type in 'regedit' followed by the enter key
Expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key (looks like a folder) by double clicking it (or clicking the "+" next to it.)
Expand the "SYSTEM" Key
Expand the "CurrentControlSet" Key
Expand the "Control" Key
Expand the "Class" Key
Please look for a key containing the following string of letter and numbers:{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
High light this key by left clicking once on it
On the right hand side you are looking for "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters" under the "Name" column, once you find these please delete them by right clicking on them and choosing "delete"
Please exit the registry by clicking on the "X" in the top right hand corner of the screen
Reboot your computer

Cannot connect to wireless on Satellite L300D-13S

Bought this new laptop Satellite L300D-13S
The wireless doesn't seem to work, the switch and light are on and the divice manger shows theres nothing wrong with the driver my hub seems to be working fine with my older laptop etc so i think my hubs ok. Is this a commen problem?
Its a BT home Hub if that helps and if i use the cable from the hub to the laptop it works fine and conects up with out a problem, please help

Hello,
To connect your notebook to the router wirelessly should not be big problem. The principle on all Toshiba notebooks is the same.
At first be sure the WLAN card is installed properly. The status can be checked in device manager.
Be sure the WLAN card is also enabled properly Move the WLAN switch to ON position (WLAN LED must be ON). After doing this use FN+F8 key combination and be sure option ON is chosen.
So now the WLAN card should be enabled properly.
Click on START > Connect To and Connect to a network window will be shown. On the right side click on refresh button and hopefully available WLANs will be listed. If your favourite WLAN is listed there click on it and then on Connect button. On the next step enter WLAN key (if the network is encrypted) and you should have connect to the router.
If the WLAN is not visible then it can be because of false settings on the router. If your router is not so old check WLAN settings there and enable automatic mode (data transfer speed). Maybe your old notebook has WLAN card A/B and new one runs on G (54 MBit/s transfer speed). Be sure this mode is enabled too.

I need to identify my Satellite L300-10Q in order to upgrade it

Hello,
I have an aging Satellite laptop I was considering to upgrade. Unfortunately I can't find reliable information about it. I tried to find the model in different Toshiba european websites using the automatic search, the serial number and the manual searching to no avail.
My model doesn't appear in the support sections nor the discontinued products sections, although I cand find pretty older models in the latter.
These are the model, part number and serial numbers I have:
Model: Satellite L300-10Q
Part Number: PSLB0E-00901VCE
Serial Number: 38212076Q
The "closest" model I've found is the "Satellite Pro L300-10P" in the Spanish website
http://www.toshiba.es/discontinued-products/satellite-pro-l300-10p/
It has the same hardware specifications than my laptop, the only difference I found in the description is the OS version. It seems that this model is limited to 2Gb of RAM at max (already preinstalled).
Do you think that my device could have that same limitation? Is there any other site to look for my laptop specifications?
I mean, a reliable one (I can find my model using Google, but the results are all prehistoric advertisements of vendors that copypasted the (who knows its origin) same information.
Also, is it possible to replace the original HDD with a SSD? I think the interface is SATA (150 MB/s), maybe it's not worth it.
Thank you in advance... and excuse my poor writing skills in english.
Regards

> Do you think that my device could have that same limitation? Is there any other site to look for my laptop specifications?
Why you dont install some hardware diagnostic tools like Everest Home Edit or the Sandra Sisoft to get all the details about your hardware parts?
Both tools are freeware and can be downloaded from different pages.
Such tools help you to identify the built in parts and you could also get information about the hardware properties: i.e chipset, CPU, HDD controller (SATA), etc
By the way; the chipset seems to be the Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset and such chipset supports max 2GB RAM
