Satelite A300 - Unknown Model

Hi,
I have a Satellite A300 but do not know the rest of the model code. The guy I got it from removed the serial sticker. When I try to download drivers I can choose between:
Satellite A300-ST3511
Satellite A300-ST3512
Satellite A300-ST4002
Satellite A300-ST4505
Satellite A300-ST6511
In Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers. I can see my laptop, and it only says A300 at model.
When I go to Control Panel > System and Security > System. All I can see there is what cpu I have (Intel Pentium Dual CPU T3200.
Any help would be much appreciated with identifying this laptop or getting the right drivers for it.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply
I have been there, but I do not know what my short model number is.
And if I search without it I get like 100 different drivers and have no clue which is compatible or the ideal for my machine. if I just search the A300 I get 100 different drivers, no idea how to know which ones I must download.
And If i search different short model numbers I get either less or more results and that tells me that some of that 100 drivers will not be compatible with my specific machine.
Is there any way to find my short model number?
Thanks
Pieter

Satelite A300-1GN and Vista x64 driver support

Hi,
I am (happy?) owner of this model for 2 days.
However it seemes logically that if this notebook can support up to 8GB RAM (i bought with 4GB) there should be possibility to install x64 operating system.
It seems, but it's not like I see. There are no drivers for x64 MS Systems on Toshiba official website to download.
Well, I am able to understand you do not want to support Win XP x64, because this system is getting older.
I can not understand how it's possible that every large company supports Vista x64 for their devices and Toshiba do not.
It seems perverse that you do not deliver suitable drivers and I really can't believe that.
I am wonder and i hope the main reason is that product I own is a new model and the drivers appears soon.
E.g. Satelite A200 has x64 support despite its a lower and weaker model...
I hope we can expect that our doubts will be explaining, and Toshiba will not slight their custommers longer, but will incline to our requests.
If I am mistaking of looking for needed drivers, then want to apologize for my post,
but if I am not wrong I will be satisfied to hear rational answer and ensure that the drivers will comming soon!
regards
Kuba

Well I really hope it will be.
Mabye can you tell me how long does it usually take to support the drivers for 64bit systems for new model by toshiba?
If I will have to wait e.g. 2 years there will be no sense to wait for them. If does it usually take about few months I will be waiting carefully.
Or mabye somebody can give me advice if there is a sense trying to find needed drivers on devics producers sites?
Finally my question is, if models having nearly the same devices and configurations like sat a300-1GN and sat a300-15B are probably using the same drivers?
If there are the same graphic cards the same webcam the same loudspeaker? :)
Is there any sense to try drivers for this devices for sat a200 series?
I am sure i will try to install Vista x64 for few days so i am satisfied for all tips i will get here.
Greetings,
Kuba

Looking for model from unknown model number?

hello
when i am browsing toshiba support, my model doesnt show up in the lists, i know only that it is from the toshiba tecra m10 series, ptmb3u-0hv01f model.
is it a s1001, s3412, sp2901, 12e, 16a, 12e, 105 or whatever model??
i understand that there are many variations to a model, but why the lack of information on this model?
please tell me which model i have, so that i can find the support i need.
regards

M10-Sxxxx (PTMB3U-0HV01F)
That one may have been specially made for a big-box store chain.
Models in the same part-number family use essentially the same drivers and utilities and differ only in details. Compare the specs of these examples with yours.
M10-S1001 (PTMB3U-00X00X) - Go here.
M10-S3412 (PTMB3U-0D2061) - Go here.
M10-S3452 (PTMB3U-0L9068) - Go here

Unknown model number - website autodetect fails

I have a brand new X200 with the model number 7455-3GG, but i can't find it on the support & drivers page either using autodetect nor by manually selecting - it's simple not on the list.
I suspect it gives me truobles using systemupdate.
How hould I proceed - take a wild guess and update my modelnumber using the flash utility
or
contact Lenovo to have the model put onto the list
Thanks,
Kaare

Hi krubak welcome to the user community.
I think that's a Northern European model, and you are right, it is not yet listed on the support page.
I suggest you select Type: 7455 and Model: All models.
The only thing you will be missing is a short description of your exact configuration, but you know that anyway!
The support pages, such as the drivers and software page are the same for all X200's.
You could drop Lenovo a line alerting them that the 3GG model is missing. I'm sure it will be added soon.
Question for you: Are you saying Lenovo System Update fails, and you suspect it is related to the 3GG model not being on the support page?
If Lenovo System Update fails, give us some more info about the failure mode.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

*runned quick tests and advanced then then i tried exercise one*
*HTS5425K95A00*
*one or more corrupted sectors*
*tried Sector Repair*
*Failure Code*
*0x70*
*meaning:*
+The following table defines all the currently supported DFT error codes. For example if during testing of your hard drive DFT reports a error code of 0x70 as shown on page 14, this indicates that your hard disk drive has problems reading one or more of its sectors. In most of these cases the drive can heal itself of these errors. To do this first back-up all your data from the problem drive ( if possible ) then run DFT again and select either the Erase Disk or Sector Repair option which is under the Utility heading. If you already have a backup of the data on the hard disk or the data isnt important you can opt to run Erase Disk/Sector Repair from the Test Result screen. Once the selected operation has completed you can then run one of the test options Quick or Advance to confirm that the drive has been healed. The result code, which should be displayed, is 0x00 if the test returns another code then you should check with your drive/system vendor if the drive can be return for warranty replacement.+

Weird problem with A300 and external drive

Info about my comp: A300-29U model Windows 7 ATI Edition (32) SATA Unknown External Drive ----- Ok, so yesterday I plugged in my external drive as usual to check some music. Everything was ok and I went to sleep. This morning when I woke up and tried that again the computer doesn't see external drive. You hear that sound when you turn it on/off, but it doesn't show or even do auto-run of my external drive. I changed 3 new USB cables and plugged in into 3 differen USB Hubs and everything is the same... I checked in Device Manager, it says that device is working fine, but I have 2 Base Missing Driver errors. I suppose that's for this external drive, but I don't have a clue how to fix it. I downloaded new chipset/bios drivers and have a fresh Avira installed. Any tips?

If you have a two devices banged out, deleted them and restart. It should auto detect the devices and load the driver. I had a problem like this. That worked for me.
What kind of hard drive is it.

A300-ST4505 Problem

I’m having trouble with my new A300-ST4505 model computer. It’s barely a month old but apparently, my find/search feature on my Internet Explorer continues to pop up for unknown reasons, preventing me from utilizing the Internet. Even when I close the IE, and try to reopen, a bigger Search box opens, further preventing me from using the Internet. Please help, so that I can use my internet. Thanks for any assistance any of you can provided.

The small Search box on IE continues to pop up and when I close IE, a bigger search box inside of IE comes up and it won't allow me to even click on IE nor Firefox. I can't click on the address bar to type in a website or anything
I really can't visualize what you're looking at.
If resetting IE7 doesn't fix it, you must have some uninvited company on that machine.

Waiting for new charger for my Satellite A300

I dont know if I am onto the right place for my problem.
I bought a Toshiba laptop on 9th September 2009. Model: Toshiba Satelite A300-1RY.
Everything has been going fine with the laptop since date of purchase, except for the fact that it is so slow to start up and shut down although I am told this is normal on Toshiba laptops, until last week when the charger stopped working on it. It was working fine and then next thing I know my laptop shuts itself down and wont start up again, I tried the charger on 4 plug sockets and it wouldnt work on any of them.
I brought the laptop and charger into my local branch of the shop it was bought in. It was tried in a plug socket there and wouldnt work so they said it is definitely the charger that isnt working. I was told it would be sent off to Toshiba and they would send out a new one and I could pick it up in the store within a few days.
That was on the 22nd May. I still hadnt received any update from them so I called them yesterday to check. Firstly I was told that it was sent off for repair after I was told I would be getting a new one. Then I was told it wasnt even covered in my warranty but it was going to be repaired as a gesture of goodwill. Then I was told that it hadnt been looked at at all because the man I left the charger with had taken the serial number down wrong, and I wasnt told this until I rang nearly 2 weeks later to look for an update.
I am absolutely furious to be told that my charger isnt included in my warranty. I was told when I bought the computer it had a full one year warranty. I explained to the man I bought it off that I hadnt a clue about laptops and had never bought one or used one before so he recommended I buy an extra 2 year warranty which cost me a lot of money on top of what I was after forking out for the laptop. I was told this covers anything that goes wrong with my laptop for the next 3 years and after that if anything goes wrong it would be time to get a new one anyway. So to be told now that actually very little is covered in this warranty has really infuriated me. DID are adamant this is not the case and this is not what they sell. If this wasnt the case I would not have wasted the money on extra warranties if they do nothing to help me when things go wrong.
The fact that the charger has stopped working after just 9 months was a total surprise in the first place, and then to be told yesterday that it isnt covered by its original one year warranty was just a total shock for me.
I am really angry about the whole matter, especially due to the fact that after nearly 2 weeks of waiting for updates I am now told this, and also the fact that when I left the charger into shop I was told it was no problem and I would have a new one within a few days.

I am not 100% sure but I think one year warranty is for whole product including AC adaptor.
As I can see problem is guy that works by your local dealer.
What you have done is right and probably I would do the same but you can try to ask them who is Toshiba service provider they are working with and try to contact them directly.
Explain the situation and try to clarify this with Toshiba service provider directly. Be cool on the phone or directly in service. Take the bill with you where they can see the date of purchase.
I believe they will help you with this.

What is the part number of MB of Satellite A300-1L0 PSAGCE

Hi
I've got Toshiba A300-1L0 Model NO.PSAGCE-03100UGR.
But there is a problem with graphic adapter ATI 3450 (M82 chipset). After installing proper drivers I got blue screen when Windows starts - and it is written that file ati2....dll gives the problem. The same situation happens both on Windows XP and VISTA.
What is the part number of mentioned notebook mainboard? I'm planning of selling every part of this notebook that is why I would like to know the part number.

Hi
Not sure exactly if the part number is the same but the PT10G_6050A2171501_MB_A03 motherboard is compatible with Satellite A300-1QD, A300-1GC and A300-1L0
But I dont know why the part number is so important you can describe the motherboard as a mobo for Satellite A300 PSAGCE series.
There are different Satellite A300-xxx which belongs to the PSAGCE family and this motherboard would be compatible with all these notebooks

Unknown firewire device

Hello,
I've had some recent freezes (usually during logout from one account to another or shutting down). After a hard reboot, startup is long and external drives will not mount at times. After, switching cables and ports for the external drives (2 firewire, 1 usb (timemachine) it seemed to alleviate the problem but not entirely. After checking system profiler, my firewire bus lists my 2 external drives plus this:
Unknown Device:
Manufacturer: Unknown
Model: Unknown
Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
Connection Speed: Unknown
After ejecting the existing firewire drives, profiler still says this 'unkown device' is on the firewire bus.
Could this be related to recent freezes and drives not mounting properly?
Any thoughts would be appreciated -- thanks much.
Quad g5
6GB RAM

Hi. Seem to remember some discussion a while back about it being a good idea to disconnect any FW400 devices and reset the FireWire bus before any heavy FW800 work, such as cloning - because the combined FW800/400 bus on the G5 can get stuck at the 400 speed...
Anyway, after the hard Shutdowns, you could try running Disk Utility > Verify Disk to check for directory problems - if any are found you can use the 10.5 retail disk in this process
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1018.html
and reset the FireWire (last bit on the page here)

Good Luck.

Satellite A300-146 - CD/DVD read and write issue

I have Toshiba Satellite A300-146, Model no : PSAJ0E, 1GB RAM, Intel Dual core 1.87 processor, Mobile Intel(R) 965 chipset family
I'm using windows7 RC version.
My DVD recorder is not working properly.
*1) Not reading 700 mb CD and not reading most DVDs.*
Few months ago, It read sony DVDs, read all CDs and dint read some local DVDs. Now it is not reading sony DVD and and all the CDs I used. But reads local DVDs..
*2) Some times it may write DVDs but most of the time its not writing DVDs. Nero 7 showing 100% but the DVD is not written anything.*
I'm using Vista drivers for my Window 7 OS...
3.Should I install windows 7 drivers..?
4.Is there any specific drivers for DVD drive.?
Experts or those who recovered from the same problem. Please Help me.
thanks in advance.

Hi
Maybe your CD/DVD drive is getting faulty... What do you think?
But before you think about a new drive you should remove the upper- and lowerfilters in registry. You can follow the workaround from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
Make also sure that the lens from CD/DVD drive is clean. You can use a microfiber cloth to clean it. This cloth doesnt scratch the lens.
Check this!!!
Last but not least there are no special drivers for CD/DVD drive. Its a part of Windows and cant be updated.
