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. I have Toshiba Satellite A300D (AMD Athlon Dual Core QL-62 (2.0GHz), 2GB DDR2 (800MHz), 250GB (5400rpm) SATA, 15.4" Wide XGA CSV HB, DVD-Super-Multi (+-R DL), ATI M82XT (256MB), Realtek 802.11 (b/g) 13ch-RTL8187B,Bluetooth,,integr. 1.3Mpix WebCam/Mic w/o auto macro,,,,10/100MBit BTO, 6 Cell BTO, 6 buttons BTO,,Works&Office_HST_Trial_DB,Vista 32bit Home Premium)...
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 P300D-13N and XP Installation Issues (Sata-Driver)

Hi,
I have some issues with my XP-Downgrade.
I already tried integrating the Intel Storage Manager drivers into my XP-CD but unfortunately it didn't work.
Probably because i've been integrating ALL drivers, that were available and not just the one that should work for my chipset.
Anyway, in one of the threads in this forum there is a link to [THIS How To|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm] and I think I found my problem...
[Here|http://s5.directupload.net/images/080904/2eptrpzs.jpg] is a screenshot of my device manager (sorry for it being in german) of the pre-installed Vista.
As you can see, there is no information about the controller-Version.
So my question is, WHAT chipset is built into my laptop, because due to the fact that the Intel drivers do not work AND there is no information about any Intel Drive-Controller, I have no idea, which drivers i have to integrate into the XP-CD to get my XP-Installation to work. :(
Help :(
Thank you
Laptop: Satellite P300D-13N PSPDCE

Of course... I didn't want to bore you with the details... but I can do that ;)
I couldn't find any Chipset drivers on amd.com OR the toshiba website so I googled for the chipset and found [This Driver|http://eu.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=883&CategoryID=1&Deta ilName=Driver&MenuID=123&LanID=4] on the ECS-Elitegroup website.
I don't know why AMD doesn't upload this driver on their website, because I don't think I am the only one, who needed this SATA-Driver... ;)
Anyway, with the chipset-driver on my HDD, I created an XP-BootCD. I didn't know which driver (there are 3 or so in the package you can download on the ECS-Website), so I put *all* of them in the CD, which worked just fine. I think the *ahcix86.inf* in *\1_chipset_XP3264\XP3264\RAID7xx\x86\ i* is the important file for WinXP to load, but I'm not sure...
PS: The original catalyst drivers from ati.com do NOT work but the ones you can find [here|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU] work fine ;) Just telling you so you don't try 3 different versions from ati.com before you try the toshiba-drivers... like i did :D

Where can I get WinXP SATA driver for Satellite L30?

I have a Satellite L30-10X with preinstalled Windows Vista and plan to downgrade OS to Windows XP Pro, but it needs special SATA driver at the early installation phase. Going to create an "unattended" Windows distributive using nLite, but cannot find such a driver at the download page.
So please help...

I think the sata driver you need is "Silicon Image Sil 3112". You can find it with Google, and then integrate into WinXP with nLite.

How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C

How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C so i can do nlite

Hi
Your notebook seems to be a Satellite L300-03C PSLB8C-03C01X.
As already suggested in your first thread visit the Toshiba Canada page and choose this notebook model on the driver page.
http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_bymodel.asp
Then download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (SATA) - Floppy drive image. Its for Vista but the files in this package should work with Win XP too.
Include these files using nLite in order to create new Win XP disk containing the SATA drivers.
Finally use this disk for booting.

Re: Satellite L300-1A8 - SATA and sound driver

I had to change SATA from AHCI to compatible, because I wanted to install Windows XP on my L300. Is there any way to install SATA driver under existing OS?
And one more problem. I cannot install the sound driver.
Installation passes ok, but after restarting there is no sound or even installed sound card in device manager, and there is still by the PCI device.
Need help as soon as possible

> {quote:title=SoGood wrote:}{quote}well, first, I have tried to install WXP SP3 with integrated SATA drivers,but I got the blue screen after loading of drivers...I didn't pressed F6, mabe that was a problem...
Yes, that was the problem.
If you install Windows XP and you hade set the SATA mode to AHCI, you must press F6 to load the drivers.
Download the drivers and copy it on an external FDD.
But there is an other option. You can use nLite: http://www.nliteos.com
nLite is a tool for pre-installationd Windows configuration an component removal at your choice. You can also integrate the SATA drivers, Service Packs, etc. So must not press F6 and not use an external FDD.
By the way, it's normal when your laptop is a little bit slower, because the SATA drivers are missing.

Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D-14P

Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D-14P?
...thx for any info and/or help...

Hello
Just to clarify something:
- if you want to install WXP but not changing BIOS settings (leave it to AHCI mode) at the beginning of installations procedure you must load SATA driver pressing F6. Thats only way to install WXP successfully
- you can install WXP without SATA driver but you must change the settings to Compatibility. Everything will work well but if you change the settings to ACHI back you will get BSOD every time when you try to start WXP
If you want to install SATA driver please install WXP using SATA driver before the WXP installation starts.

Satellite A300D-15B - Switched off and charging issue

Hi
I have a Satellite A300D-15B, running Windows 7 32bit, which bought quite recently used. I have encountered a couple of problems which I hope someone can help me with!
Firstly, the day I got the machine, it switched suddenly, but turned back on immediately and seemed to be ok. Afterwards, 3 weeks later (saturday 2nd July) I was installing some software when I got a virus warning from AGV, within a few moments the machine again turned off suddenly. Unfortuanetly this time it would not turn back on and the charge/AC supply lights would not come on. After doing some research I found that disconnecting the BIOS battery and dissipating the power enabled me to turn the machine on. Is there any known issues which could be causing this?
Secondly, once I had got the laptop to turn on after the sudden shutdown on staurday, I have found the charger still wont register as being plugged in unless i use the folling procedure.
1) diconnect the mains fuse cable from the transformer block
2) remove the battery
3) plug in the DC jack
4) reconnect the mains cable to the transformer which causes the mains light on the laptop to turn on.
5) reconnect the battery
The laptop then charges normally, I am using it to write this post.
I have to use this process everytime the machine is unplugged from the the mains or charger, which is irritating and also a worry that there could be big problems on the horizon.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
cheers
John

Hi
I upgraded it to 7, the first time it shut down was the first time it was switched on after the recovery disc had been used. Could that be an out of date driver on original settings? Then upgrading to 7 giving similar problems?
I upgraded to 7 not a fresh install, which I never usually do.
The charger is a genuine unit not a 3rd party, I won't use them as I've had issues in the past. I'm just concerned it's a mainboard problem given the shutdown and subsequent strange charging behaviour. Do these have EEPROM's in the chargers and maybe clearing the CMOS has caused a recognition problem?
Cheers

Satellite A300D-15b: Where to get Chicony cam software for Win7

I have recently done a clean install of windows 7 64bit on my Satellite A300D-15b and was wondering were i can download the Chicony camera assistant software from?
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.
You can download the driver here:

Toshiba Satellite M35X-S114 Hard Drive Replacement

I have a Toshiba Satellite M35X-S114, and the hard drive is broken. The hard drive model is MK4025GAS. Where can I buy it? Can I find cheaper one interchangable?

You can use any parallel ATA drive that is jumper selectable as 'master'. Cable select only drives won't work. Local stores like BestBuy usually have a selection of replacement notebook drives although the PATA drives are getting harder to find with the spreading use of SATA drives. To the best I can determine, your notebook has 48-bit LBA which would allow any size drive available. There are a number of online vendors as well as local sources. I've used NewEgg successfully in the past.

Win 7 32-64 bit drivers for Satellite A300D-17G PSAKCE

hello, everybody!
I've read previous topics regarding win 7 drivers for A300, though I'd like to consult on my own problem. I've got A300D.
Toshiba drivers page offers very limited list of drivers for Satellite A300D-17G PSAKCE.
http://ru.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=RU
Why?
Where shall I get the rest?
No matter for 32 or 64 bit. I'll be happy with any of them.
Thanx in advance!

Everything depands on drivers what you really need...
You should check the device manager.
If there are some unknown devices then use the workaround in the HowTo in order to find such driver.
To be honest there are no many different devices.
WLan, Bluetooth, touchpad are not notebooks specific
Wlan driver can be downloaded from here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
Also Toshiba tools like VAP (value added package) Flash Card support utility and similar can be installed on different notebook models
So I dont think that this is little extreme

Satellite A300D-16N: sound like metalic with a lot of cracks

hallo!
I've upgraded lately from Vista 32bit to Win 7 32 bit on my Satellite A300D-16n.
Now I have some sound problems - it sounds like metalic with a lot of cracks.
I've upgraded my Bios and sound driveres, graphics and wifi are also as latest as win7 says
It seams that there is some kind of conflict beetwen drivers or problem with sound oversteering
I don't know how to fix this.
Can You help ??

> Few days ago I've uninstalled the soundcard and reinstalled it again, the sound was quite ok till next reboot.
Well, maybe the Windows OS has taken the old driver
The driver is from Conexant
Check the newest Conexant sound driver released for other notebooks; i.e Satellite L650D

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.
