Satellite A300-15C - WLan crashes using BT and WLan simultaneously

Hello,
I bought notebook Toshiba Satellite A300-15C last month.
I run Wifi and Bluetooth simultaneouly. Connecting by Wifi was crashing.
Then I disable Bluetooth and it was working perfectly.
How can I change Bluetooth frequency or why it is not working simultaneouly with Bluetooth?
I have notebook less than 10 meters from Access Point with 8.5dBi Outdoor Antenna and signal is not.
Other Access Point is 20 meters from antenna and it is working with full speed.
Why signal is not?
I have Windows Vista Home Premium with latest drivers.

Hi
What do you mean by crashing??
> Other Access Point is 20 meters from antenna and it is working with full speed
Does it mean that you can receive the WLan signals from another access point correctly using the BT and WLan together???
If this is the case then it could be a compatibility issue with your another WLan router.
Im not quite sure what WLan card you have, but I would recommend updating the WLan driver firstly and the BIOS if available.

Mute or LED On/Off button issue on Satellite A300-15C

Hi
I have a simmilar problem. I have Toshiba Satellite A300-15C notebook.
Until recently the multimedia keys worked fine. I have assigned some exe file to the second to left key, and been happily using the lights on/off button to switch the dimmer.exe, but a few days ago the dimmer key stopped turning the lights and instead acts as a mute/unmute key. I have doublechecked the TBS and the key is still associated to the dimmer.exe . I have even tried associating the key to another function, but it still just mutes/unmutes the sound. Have you got any idea as to what might be causing this problem and how can I fix it?
And no, apart from random Vista updates I haven't installed anything new since before the dimmer key started acting wierd...

Hi,
I've done everything following the steps from Raver's post and now I have a new problem:
The Toshiba Button Support doesn't display any buttons.
http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/3052/19004197nq4.jpg
It should look like that, but instead it has neither the Mute, nor the CD/DVD button, it's empty... I have tried following the advice from the last post from this topic:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-euro...ssageID=135421
But the TBS just assigns the Dimmer.exe to no button, since no button is selected. Have you got any idea what should I do next? (and yes, I'm sure I have installed the VAP for Windows Vista 32 bit for Sattelite A300)

Does Satellite A300-15C comes with Vista DVD

Hello
I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-15C to some queries:
Is this kind comes with Windows Vista DVD?

Hi
The newest Toshiba notebooks seem to be delivered with the Toshiba HDD image.
This means that the Vista and all other drivers, tools and utilities are already preinstalled on the HDD and the image is placed on another partition.
You can burn this image on the DVD to get a Recovery DVD.
As Im not mistaken there should be preinstalled Toshiba software called Recovery Disk Creator. This tool can be used to create a Recovery DVD.
So once again; the notebooks are not delivered with the Vista DVD.

Extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C

Hi
I am new here so sorry if I posted it under wrong thread.
I want to buy extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C (1+1 standard warranty) so I wanna ask which warranty package gives the longest protection for this model.
2+2 is the longest? ID: SE5054I-PDB.
Secondly, and more importantly, the laptop is more than 1 year old. When i was buying it, in retail store they told me that the extended warranty can be activated at any time, but now I see that there is this 30 days deadline policy. Is there any way how to overcome?
Thanks

Hello Pingo
You must understand that this forum is user-to-user forum and what you need is expert advice. So I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and order best extended warranty option.
At first you can visit Toshiba support page and pick up some info about warranty options.
The link is http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Peripherals & Services
On the same page under Support & Download > Find an ASP you can find address and phone number of your nearest ASP.

QT SDK. Use encoder and decoder simultaneously

We develop a software for video conversion. When we tried to convert QT DV to QT DV with different settings the SDK don't work properly. I guess that some conflict occurs when we use encoder and decoder simultaneously.
Is is known bug? Is there any workaround?

Satellite A300 thinks button is held down and won't start up (long)

Hey sorry this is so long but I would really love some help,
Ok so I was just wondering if there is a way to fix this...
I was on my Satellite A300 (just over a year old) last night playing the Left 4 Dead 2 Demo using the Stream network and all of a sudden in Online Co-op the Camera Assistant Window opened minamising Left 4 Dead 2.
I thought this strange because I had closed the side popup bar for Camera Assistant on startup so that it wouldn't popup and do exactly what it did....
So after being confused I just clicked back onto Left 4 Dead 2 and thought "I'll deal with that in a sec"... When Left 4 Dead 2 did maximise again, (it took a few moments where there was a black screen and about 1 second of audio looping), I couldn't physically play but I could watch the game in a special mode that lets you take a break and let AI take over for a while. Also the in game chat box was up.
I was at first just trying to click the button to turn off AI control but the game wouldn't respond. Then my chat box's typing section started filling up with 'u's so I tried to get rid of them. All I could do was high-light them with my mouse and then more 'u's would replace them.
After trying Alt+F4 for a while and Ctrl+Alt+Del with no responce except for the 'u's I decided the poor computer must be strained with Left 4 Dead open and Stream, Illistratror and the Camera open in the background so I pressed the power button (set to shut down on my computer) and waited...
Left 4 Dead 2 closed, as did Camera Assistant I think... and then it kind of froze so I just held down the power button (sorry I know that probably wasn't the best move) and my laptop turned off...
Well when I tried to turn it back on the Black "Toshiba Leading Innovation" screen pops up along with the little footer explaining what F2 and F12 do. After that the screen switches to the little blinking text bar thing (sorry I don't know what it's actually called...) but the bar flashes on and remains there for about 4-5 seconds and then flashes off and on again, although it seems slightly duller in colour) and then a single tone plays (from the computer even if earphones are plugged in) and yeah... I have to turn it back off...
Remembering about the 'u's I assumed the computer was not happy that the 'u' button was being held down on startup so remembering that the fron of the keys are actually removable I (very carefully) removed the 'u' faceplate.It all looked 'normal' underneath... (I compared it to the 'y' button) and so pressed it a few times and re-placed the faceplate. Turned on the compter... Same thing happened...
I then tried taking out the battery and then putting it back in to see if that would help... Again, the tone played... I took unpluged my iPod, Took out the CD, and removed the Memory Card to see if that would help... It didn't unfortunately.
So next I tried turning on the computer whist pressing 3 keys (I thought it might cancel out the 'u' key) abd held down 'b+n+m'. The first time I did this Windows Boot Manager opened instead of the beeping. I only have Windows Vista so when I tried to continue by pressing 'enter' nothing happened... So I turned off the computer and tried again (this time with q+w+e as I thought maybe holding b+m starts Boot Manager). This time Windows Error Recovery displayed with the options; Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with Command Prompt and Start Windows Normally. Again Enter wouldn't work... And thats my sistuation so far...
Please help if you can >: I'm scared if I take it to a Japanese Compute Person they'll wipe everything...
Thankyou,
Rochelle
(again I am sorry this is so long but I thought people might wan't specifics...)

hi Ellehcore,
sure it is always the hardware.... nope!
deinstall the webcam software and/or shutdown the webcam service
this will prevent the software to show up in your game...
but with this extended problems you should ask a servicepartner for assistance....
or simply recover the system...

Satellite A300-Y00 - How to use a joystick for Games?

How can I connect my Satellite A300/y00 with joystick so I can play games without keyboard because its very hard to use?
Which one should i get, ps2 alike joystick or xbox joystick since xbox for microsoft and im using microsoft software such vista...??
But my laptop has something called game controller in control panel, does it mean i still install the software in order to use the joystick??
Thanx

Hi Mickey
I see youve got many questions and most questions can be answered by device (joystick) manufacturer
The point is that most gamepads or joysticks can be connected to USB port (like USB mouse). In most cases its not necessary to install any drivers because its a plug-and-play device (simply connect and use)
But different manufacturers provides own drivers together with the own products
In such cases such drivers should be installed too

Re: Satellite A300-1L0 (PSAGCE) crashes

Hey all!
recently my A300 started to crash randomly. First, the original WinVista crashed, so I installed a clean version of Win7 with recent drivers. Now the notebook crashes 1-2 min after booting or reactivation from standby-mode. But this only happens when the notebook is still cold, i.e. when the notebook was turned off for a longer period of time.
Now, what I did:
- re-installed Win7 64bit SP1 with recent drivers on a new harddrive
- Win7 Memcheck: No problems found
- Memtest86+: No problems found
Nevertheless, the problem persists. The Win7 event logger isn't much of a help. It only lists the error that the system has been shut down unexpectedly but provides no specific error code.
Any ideas how to solve that problem? Thanks a lot in advance!
Max

Thanks for your quick reply. I did run a clean Win7 SP1 (naked).
What I already tried:
1. just the drivers provided by Win7 Ultimate (Win7 recognized most of the hardware and had drivers for it, except for the Ricoh Card Reader).
2. recent drivers from the Toshiba Support Site.
3. Updated drivers from the respective manufacturer's site (Intel, Realtek, ATI)
None of these configurations worked.
I'll try installing the original Vista from the recovery-DVD. Maybe this will provide another hint..
Any other ideas? Do A300-Notebooks have some "general hardware issues" like these crashes on startup if cold?
Thanks a lot!

Satellite A300-1ND - can I use SATA2 HDD?

Hi.
Is there reason to upgrade A300-1NDs SATA HDD to SATA2 HDD? I know that SATA2 is faster and is backward compatible with SATA, but dont know if laptop would be able to use full speed of SATA2.
thx all

SATA1 is limited to about 150MBytes/sec (1.2MBits/sec taking into account the overheads).
Only the super fast 10,000RPM WD Raptors and similar HDD's can get near 150MB/sec. A normal 2.5" 5400RPM/7200RPM HDD will only reach about 60MB/sec -> 90MB/sec.
So installing a SATA2 HDD wont have any benefit.
To take advantage of SATA2, you would need to install a new generation SSD (for example Toshiba's new 512GB SSD) which are known to reach about 280MB/sec.
(most current/cheap SSD's are not much faster than normal HDD's)

Satellite A300-1mz Can I use the recovery disks after a HDD upgrade?

I'm upgrading the hard drive of my *toshiba a300-1mz*, but I'd be sure that I can use the *recovery disks* maked at the first boots for the s.o. (vista)
I expect your support...
thank you very much...

> how can I be sure that the disk is properly recognized before I buy it???
What do you mean exactly? Did you mean the HDD???
The A300 supports and 2.5 SATA HDD and all 2.5 HDD should be recognized properly since the SATA HDD controller hasnt any limitations.
Bye

Satellite A300-1MC is slow using the Win XP

I've just recently spent 400 odd quid on this laptop.
Hated Vista and installed with XP Pro.
However I find when I get my 'login' screen on XP, my desktop comes up and it takes a decade before I can start any applications like Firefox etc (egg timer etc). In fact its probably the same speed as my old Satellite 1900D (thats 8 years old). But once it all loads up its 'pretty' quick but not lightning fast.
I've defragged after the countless windows updates and it seems to be quicker. But quite disappointed still. Any thoughts?
Virus scanner is Mcafee Total internet
I've also played about with 'startup' thru MSCONFIG and got rid of stuff I dont need, but still no avail.
Is the A300 really that slow? I dont have any dodgy applications just normal office 2003 and as said above Mcafee
Any advice on disabling some files that I dont need thats within the Toshiba system that could possibly slow it down?

Hi
I have followed that link from the other thread directed to intel and copied ALL the zip files I needed onto floppy. Installing windows I have pressed the F6 key and now the laptop is asking me for many options of INTEL ICH etc controllers in fact theres 14 of them! There is no indication of which one to pick, so I picked ALL of them and lo and behold windows booted up and I got as far as enter the country etc.
The laptop then automatically reboots after I enter all the above country info and I get the toshiba splash screen and then the windows screen. For a split second I see a blue screen but then the pc goes blank and goes back to the Toshiba splash screen. Now it continuously loops back and forth without getting anywhere.
If you can shed some light that would be great.
Thanks for your time and patience.

IMac crashing using yosemite and tom tom device

When i disconnect my Tom Tom Go 5000 device by either switching it off or pulling the USB plug out the iMac crashes. The Tom Tom device connects using the MyDrive web application so the Tom Tom connects via the Net through the USB hub so there is no way to eject the device other than switching off. This all used to work ok but since updating to Yosemite it now crashes the Mac each time i disconnect. Does anyone else have this problem.

Hi, I got the fix for the problem through discussion on the Tom Tom support site. The fix that worked for me (and others) is you need to repair permissions on your Mac os hard drive. If your not sure how to do this;
launch disk utility from the utilities folder in applications on Mac.
click on the HD icon and select Repair Disk Permissions. This will probably find a few things that need repairing but that apparently is standard.
Once you've done the repair you will need to reboot Mac then you should be able to plug and unplug Tom Tom without Mac crashing.

Satellite M30X-122: How to use headphone and speaker at the same time?

Hi,
is there any possiblity to use the headphone and the speaker at the same time?
When I plug the head phones in the socket, the speaker is swtiched off now.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
Unfortunately there is no way to use both the headphones and the speakers at the same time. This is because tghere is as physical disconnection of the current to the internal speakers when you plug in the headphones. It is not software controlled. The only way of bypassing this would be to dismantle the headphone socket and permanently solder the connections which are broken when you insert the headphone socket.
regards,

Ability to use airport and ethernet simultaneously

On my old MBP I was able to bring up both the ethernet and the airport at the same time (on different networks). I migrated everything over to my new MBP and now I can only have one or the other connect. The second connects, but never gets an IP address (both use DHCP). By turning off one or the other I can switch between interfaces, but never have them both alive at the same time. One is connected to a 10. network, one connected to a 192.168 net. I have tried creating a new location with just the two interfaces in there but the outcome is exactly the same.
Is there a limitation on the new MBP that does not allow both interfaces to be alive at the same time? I use this to connect to my work network on the physical interface and connect to my home wireless for local printing and NAS support.
Thanks

There should not be anything inherent to the new computer or OS that will disallow this. What happens if you assign manual IP address for the Ethernet interface?
If you used migration assistant to transfer over your data and settings - that may have messed up some things. Is it possible to verify if it works like before on a clean OSX install?
