Satellite A300/300D frozen, can't do anything

I am using a Toshiba Satellite A300/300D and just used a external DVD-writer for the first time with the laptop, all was fine disc burned successful but when I took disc out and went too open internet page the laptop I couldn't do anything.
Keys, power button, mouse pad nothing happening. All has frozen.
Please Help!
Can't even turn off.

Just press power button and keep it down few seconds. It will force notebook to switch-off.
Then press it again and start notebook. I hope you will be able to use it again.
Method described by vmanto will not end with losing everything on HDD. it has nothing to do with saved data on HDD but you will lose all data saved in RAM at this moment.

  • Satellite A300-1NO - How can I record sound?

    Hello. I've got a Satellite A300-1NO machine, but I don't know how to set my sound card, because I want to record any sound that my sound card plays. For example listening an internet radio and record a track from it.
    I can only set my microphone to record it, and can't see any more opportunity. Waveout or anything else....How could i solve this problem? I've got the 6.0.1.5599 sound driver.

    Hello
    If you want to record the sound that plays the sound card you need an additional program. So its not possible to record sound only with the sound driver.
    There are many programs that can do this. I have good experience with No23 Recorder. Use Google to find it. Its freeware and easy to use.
    Furthermore there are some programs that streams internet radio and record it too. But I dont use such a program but Google can help you to find one.

  • HT201263 Ipod frozen can't do anything to it Please help

    My Ipod is frozen on a black screen with the white "wheel" spinning in the center.  I can't do anything to it, all it does is cycle through on. see apple screen for a few second, then back to black screen with white while spinning the the center until it shuts itself off and restarts that whole thing again. I can't reset, restore and my computer doesn't recognize the ipod and I get an error message that itunes can''t connect to ipod because the screen is locked.  Is the ipod ruined? is there anything I can do to get it running again?

    Try what you have not yet tried of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Frozen -- Can't do anything!

    As of last night, the only thing that works on my computer is the cursor and the magnification of the dock icons. I can't select, highlight, or open anything. It's all frozen. Manually restarting doesn't help, and I obviously can't access any sort disk repair since nothing will open. Help!

    Boy am I embarrassed. When I took your advice and ran in safe mode, I noticed I still couldn't select anything, so it got me thinking.... maybe it's as simple as my mouse. I plugged in another mouse and, sure enough, the left button on my mighty mouse must have suddenly broken. Thanks for the advice. In its own indirect way, it helped solve the problem!

  • Satellite A300-1N9 - Where can I download Windows 7 drivers and tools?

    Welcome
    At the outset I want to thank you for any help or steer me to an idea about the drivers for this model, for a moment I will describe what exactly it.
    I bought this laptop with Vista I got him a CD with the system and on this record were already drivers and add-ons to your laptop or other cool things such as Toshiba drivers for camera, Bluetooth, Synaptics, dvd software, and a program or driver I do not know exactly what it is, but such a cool thing that allows you to set the lights on the whole panel, including a laptop with the word "Satellite". Everything fits nicely, but only with Vista that I got on the board from Toshiba.
    Now, I went on Windows 7 As for the fundamental drivers that have them from the manufacturer Toshiba eg driver webcam or mouse. But the more I depend on these great things that I had under Vista, even though that panel backlighting laptop.
    Does anyone have any idea on this that all additives in the CD that I got, where it is Vista, you can somehow extract these extras, or is a site where you can download it all, or a list of these additives to Win match 7
    Thanks in advance again for any help.
    Yours

    Hi
    First of all you can download all drivers and tools from the Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
    For the illumination buttons and illuminated Satellite you have to install Toshiba Value Added Package. It activates also all functions on the FN keys.
    As far as I know the illumination can also be turned on/off in BIOS. Check this!!!
    The webcam driver is also listed on the Toshiba page and touchpad driver to enable virtual scrolling.
    I hope I could help you a little bit! :)

  • Firefox Frozen- Can't do ANYTHING. Can't Disable Addons etc

    Hello, I took your advice, I have uninstalled, ReInstalled, I RESET Firefox through the HELP Menu- and that did not seem to help or do anything. When I start up Firefox- Sometimes I will be able to cllick and open a COUPLE 2-5 web links, then it freezes, and others I can't click any links before it Freezes. It appears to let me move ok on Craigslist, but not many other Pages- if I go to Yahoo it freezes instantly, same w/ G4 etc.
    PLEASE HELP- I miss Firefox, and IE is not what I want to use. Can someone there link into my PC and take a look at it with me? I work as a Help Desk Rep so I will be able to follow along with any thing you need me to do. I'll be free almost any day/ime this week, but the sooner the better. You can reach me at: [email protected] or call me at 571-244-6734
    Please help- Thank you, Hope to hear back from you soon.

    Hi,
    If you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related processes/files in all the different configuration modules/areas of the security software like process monitoring, sub/spawned process control, virtualization etc., in addition to the security software's main configuration panel. Instead create new fully allowed/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes in all the different modules/panels. Even otherwise, some security software may also ask again when Firefox and/or its sub processes are started, and you may be able to allow/trust at that time. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].
    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls AV/Firewalls Configuration]
    You can also try to check by temporarily disabling any security software, [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off turn on the Windows firewall] and browse known safe sites.

  • Satellite A300-N20 (PSAGUE) - Can I upgrade 5in1 card reader?

    Hello
    Is it possible to somehow "upgrade" 5 in 1 card reader in order to read Memory stick duo *PRO*, as for now this reader reads only memory stick duo (which is not in use any more with sony photo/cameras).
    Thanx

    Hello
    The card reader on a notebook cant be upgraded. As far as I know its soldered on the mainboard and so its not possible to exchange it with another model.
    So if you want to read cards they are not supported from the internal card reader you have to buy an external reader. I have also such an external card reader from Kingston. It was very cheap and can read all available cards.

  • Firefox is frozen, can't click anything

    Firefox will not load, and I am unable to click "restart firefox" or any other buttons on the application. I'm on a mac. Tried deleting/re-installing/restarting computer, but nothing worked. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Kevin

    I guess it's progress to get 10 minutes...
    When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment -- and displays the Mozilla Crash Reporter. You can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" (especially the last section) for steps to get those crash report IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.

  • CD/DVD drive does not work - error code 39 on Satellite A300

    Good evening.
    I've encountered a problem with my Satellite A300.
    I can't get the disk drive to function.
    Device manager says the driver is current. But also says it is corrupt "code 39".
    I have tried downloading new drivers from Toshibas website but they all come up as code 39 unable to install. The first I noticed it was last night when I was installing Norton 360. I had the cd it worked once then nothing.
    Has anyone ran across this before?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    I had the same issue and I found a solution here in the forum.
    The problem is that your Windows registry is muddled up.
    You should firstly access the device manager and should remove the CD/DVD drive from the device list.
    Secondly you have to start the registry and have to remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Finally reboot the notebook and test the CD/DVD drive again!
    Bye

  • How can I install windows XP on my Satellite A300-129

    Hello,
    Since a few days I have bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-129. I'm very satisfied with the laptop, though I don't like to work with Vista so i would prefer to reformate the laptop and install Windows XP Professional(32 or 64 bits, dunno yet).
    However I don't know if i have to do anything special for it, because this is my first notebook I've got and I only once had a laptop with drivers on a CD. Now i'm switching operating system i think i need some driver disc's for my webcam and stuff like that.
    I hope some1 can help me :)
    Thanks alot
    BTW I'm dutch, so sorry for my English.

    > And i've got a legit license of XP Pro, though i dont understand what u mean with the sata driver things. Do u mean i need to ADD the drivers on the current Disc with windows XP?
    The point is that your Windows XP CD does not contain the SATA drivers which are necessary to recognize the HDD during the XP setup procedure.
    So you will have to include the SATA driver pressing the F6 button while the XP setup is loading. For this procedure an external FDD drive is necessary.
    If you dont have a external USB FDD drive then you could create an Win XP CD and could include the SATA drivers using the free software called nLite.
    One note; Use the forums search function for searching on other threads about the nLite and how to create such CD. I remember there are many threads in the forum about this theme.
    Cheers

  • Satellite A300 - I can't find the recovery disk creator

    Hi everybody!
    Need some help with my Satellite A300. I lost the optical recovery disc I burned when the laptop was new. Now when I'm trying to burn a new recovery disc I can't find the Recovery Disc Creator - not on the desktop or in the Start meny. I still have the folder with all the recovery files left - a folder named HDDRecovery with size 4.5 GB. The problem is to find out how to burn the disc.
    Can anyone help?
    //iMate, Sweden

    Hello
    F8 will works just if you didnt change anything with first partition and if you still use factory settings.
    "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" cannot be gone for no reason. Either you have removed it from the system or you have installed own Vista OS.
    I don't want to speculate why you cannot use F8 anymore but fact is that for new Vista installation you need recovery DVD.
    You can order one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Satellite A300-15M - Can I install a second HDD?

    Hi there.
    I own a SatelliteA300-15M. I bought the laptop 2 years ago. I have already 250GB hard drive which came with the laptop. Recently I got my laptop serviced from local shop. I noticed that it has an additional slot for another hard drive. I saw a post that some of the A300/A305 laptops have the space for second hard drive but not the connectors.
    If anyone owns A300-15M can they please tell me if i can install a second internal hard drive in my model? Is there a sure way to find if I can really install a second hard drive?

    Hello
    > but not the connectors.
    So the case is claer: If you dont have a second SATA connector, you cant install a second HDD.
    Check also the forum regarding such questions. The point is that one notebook series (e. g. Satellite A300) is always equipped with the same case but the hardware is different. So not all models have the same features. ;)
