Satellite A300 - Cannot use WLan

Hi
I have a Toshiba Laptop A300 and did a reboot / clean laptop with rescue disk from Toshiba
Vista Home 32 bit x86
All went fine with reinstall + vista SP 1 + office ...
But no wireless Lan possible / via cable I have internet.
Following steps followed
- Removed Realtek family fast ethernet RTL8101 / NCDIS6
- Reinstalled and got error code 10
- Went to the website Realtek downloaded again and reinstalled
- No more error driver working fine but still no wireless network detected or even able to setup as
I only have possibility to chosse broadband or via dialup in network manager
- Next I read on a post that the free norton antivirus was blocking so I removed symantec + Norton antivirus
- Still no luck with wireless
- When I push F8 wireless is on and button under keyboard with wireless is also enabled
I am out of ideas can anybody pls assist
Thank you very much

Please send us exact model name and model number so we can check notebook specification and see which WLAN card is inside.
>... clean laptop with rescue disk from Toshiba Vista Home 32 bit x86
Original Toshiba recovery image contains right WLAN driver so Im a bit confused after reading this.
Is some unknown device listed in device manager?
Which devices are listed under network adapters?

  • Win7 on Satellite A300 - cannot get FN keys to work

    Hi every body
    I really need your help guys I really need FN keys job
    I recently formatted my Satellite A300 laptop with Windows 7 32bit and the function keys doesnt work. I downloaded VAP from your site also I tried downloading flash card utility from the other Toshiba types list.
    When I try to install it on my Toshiba it kept saying to me invalid serial no.
    Why is that >> also still FN keys doesnt work. Please help me. What should I do?
    Sometimes when I push FN+ brighten it works but nothing appears on my laptop as it used to when I had xp also I bought my Toshiba from UAE.

    Hello
    I have satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32bit. Everything works perfectly. It is very important to install all drivers, tools and utilities following right installation order so here is the list how I have done this:
    Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) and clean Win7
    -Win7 (original Microsoft install disc)
    -chipset driver
    -storage manager
    -display driver
    -sound driver
    -modem driver
    -supervisor utility
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    -toshiba hardware setup
    -HDMI control
    -WLAN driver
    Everything works well but missing some drivers
    Added Vista stuff:
    -Toshiba assist - work properly
    -Card reader - installed properly
    -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - work properly.
    -Synaptics driver
    Win7 runs well and I am very satisfied with it.

  • Satellite A300 : cannot boot : blocked by Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility

    This one is a bit bizarre. We have a Tosh Satellite A300-193 Laptop (Manufacturer Code: PSAJ1E-01000XEN) purchased July 2008, which my daughter uses for work. We have Kaspersky anti-virus on it, but since its license had expired (and we didn't really like it), I was going to remove it and install Avast.
    Kasperky's removal instructions involve getting their "kavremove" tool which their instructions say should be run from safe mode. So, having downloaded the tool, I pressed F8 to boot to safe mode. ...
    That's when things went wrong. Instead of the typical black boot-options screen, I got a password request from "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility". We have never set up a password on this machine, and I have never seen this particular screen before. After three wrong guesses (!), the machine powers off.
    Now when I turn it on, it goes straight to this Phoenix password request: I don't touch F2, F12, F8, or anything. I cannot work out why it should do this, nor how I can possibly by-pass it. None of my password guesses work (of course). My daughter is a primary school teacher with a school inspection looming in a week: while she has most of her work on a USB stick, there is data on this machine she really needs. Needless to say, tensions are rising.
    I have googled all evening, so I know there is no point asking about passwords. But can anyone point me in a helpful direction? I'm baffled and at a loss. Grateful for any help (or hope!).

    Hi,
    Which steps/procedure in that other thread you linked did you do to make it boot without asking for the BIOS password?
    I looked through that message briefly, and what I didn't see is that after you get it to boot, you should probably go into the BIOS and reset the BIOS settings to default. 
    Another possibility is that the BIOS firmware itself may be corrupted, causing it to think that there's a BIOS password set.  If that's the case, you may need to try to flash the BIOS with a known good BIOS, maybe booting from floppy or CD to do the BIOS flash.

  • Satellite A300 - Cannot install operating system

    I just bought a notebook Satellite A300.
    At the begining it had no operating system, but the one at the store installed me Windows 7 ultimate (trial).
    Now i have problems installing other system.
    It shows me an error and one more thing. When i bought the notebook it had no cd-s, no drivers, nothing, it is ok?
    Please respond me, I don't know what to do.

    Hallo Alexandra
    I have the same notebook model and at first I want to say that you got good choice. Satellite A300 is supported for WXP, Vista and for newest Win7 too. I have tested performance with all three operating systems and to be honest, best performance is under Win7.
    So I recommend you to install Win7. I can help you with exact, step-by-step guideline.
    If you want to install WXP you MUST use WXP SP2 or WXP with SP3. Your notebook has SATA HDD inside and when WXP installation starts you must load SATA driver (F6 option when WXP installation starts). This SATA driver can be loaded with floppy disc. Other way you must create WXP installations CD with integrated SATA driver. For this purposes you can use nLite software. It can be a little bit complicated.
    Using Win7 you don't need this SATA driver.
    Please let me know your opinion about all this.
    At the end I must say that you should maybe look forward and learn to use newest operating system and newest compatible software. We all like WXP but it is time to say goodbye. Do you agree with me?

  • Satellite A300 cannot turn on when AC adaptor connected

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A300 when the notebook is connected to power adapter I have no possibility to turn it on, it goes only 2-3 sec. on an after it goes down.
    When Toshiba is turned on with the battery supply and I tried to connect power adapter it goes also down.
    I have no problems with charging itself but only with operating with power adapter.
    Please help me what can I do with this issue, does anybody has similar problem?

    Hi!
    For me it sounds like a hardware malfunction of the mainboard if the AC/DC adaptor is connected and notebook is turned on
    Im not sure but the best way would be if you go to the nearest authorized service provider with the AC/DC adaptor. The technicians can check your notebook and exchange the mainboard if its really necessary. The guys are very friendly and useful!
    Here you can search for the nearest ASP:

  • Cannot use WLAN connection with my Satellite Pro A100

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-830
    Netgear DG834G
    Can not use wireless connection. While using "Config Free" to find wireless device the popup 'this connection is controlled by other software'. I do not know what it means and which software controls the connection. I have other laptop which is duly connected by wireless connection. I am ok with wired connection.
    I do not know much about technicalities and thus seek help if any reader can.
    Thanks
    Kris

    >Can not use wireless connection. While using "Config Free" to find wireless device the popup 'this connection is controlled by other software'
    You should not use the ConfigFree for the Wlan configuration but either the own Vista configuration options or the WLan configuration tool like Intel ProSet Utility or Atheros Clint Utility. It depends on the WLan card what utility can be used.
    Intel card -> Intel ProSet Utility; Atheros WLan card -> Atheros Clint Utility
    I assume the message +this connection is controlled by other software+ appears because one of the options mentioned above controls the WLan.

  • Cannot use WLAN on my Satellite 5105-s501

    Hi,
    I've just acquired this computer.
    I'm not sure if the 5105 s501 is the L series - I can't find any information anywhere, perhaps someone could push me in the right direction.
    I can't get the wireless to work. I can connect to the internet via a cable but nowhere in the control panel etc does it say anything about wireless. Fn + f8 does nothing. Should the intel driver in the device manager say something about wireless? There is a flashing red light when the wireless is switched on.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Colin

    You have old Satellite 5105-s501.
    All you need to know about your old notebook you can find on Toshiba US support page > HERE .
    At first open device manager and check under network adapters if the WLAN card is installed properly.

  • Cannot connenct Satellite L300-A13 using Wlan

    I recently formatted my computer and now the wireless card wont work.
    When i put it on it still shows its off and wont show any connections.
    I had some missing drivers after i formatted it but i see the wireless card under network adpters in device manager.
    What could be wrong?
    I dont have a cd for the drivers because my computer didnt come with one.

    Hi
    > dont have a cd for the drivers because my computer didnt come with one.
    Recovery disk didnt come with the notebook because there was a opportunity to create a recovery disk! The preinstalled Toshiba recovery disk creator would create a recovery disk ell, now its too late because you have formatted the HDD
    Back to your Wlan issue you should ensure that the Wlan card is enabled properly!
    The Wlan led should be ON and additionally you should use the key combination FN + F8 to enable the WLan.
    Did you do that? If not do this!

  • Re: Satellite A300 Cannot install Win XP because HDD is not visible

    Hi
    i tryed to install windows xp after windows 7 but instalation of Xp cant find hard disk.
    Someone told me i should install sata drivers can anyone help me?
    A300 Psag0e

    As I said there are a lot of threads about that check also the HowTo & FAQ are of this forum.
    SATA driver is a part of Intel Storage Manger it can be downloaded from the Toshiba European driver page
    You can attach the SATA drivers into the Win XP CD using the nLite software too.
    Its for free
    But the easiest way is to change the BIOS settings as mentioned above

  • After some upgrades on my Satellite P200 cannot use HD-DVD Player

    Since I upgraded my PC Satellite P200 (BIOS, Driver ATI HD2600, Package VAP and HD-DVD Player), I can no longer read my HD-DVDs
    Error message is: "Unable to send the video to an external device. Please turn off the display device."
    I had no problem before the upgrades.
    I have no problem with my DVD player on medias.
    What happens?
    My drive is a HDDVD SD-L802B.

    I installed on my PC (P200-1DE / PSPB6E / OS Vista) proposed TEMPO software.
    This software referred me to the site Toshiba and proposed several updates to:
    - The BIOS (2008)
    - HD2600 Drivers ATI card (2008)
    - HD DVD Player
    - VAP Package
    At this time, I try to find the references on the site, but I am surprised ; they are no longer in the "Downloads & Drivers BIOS site TOSHIBA
    I downloaded the drivers on my PC.
    I can give you the exact references tonight (I write on another PC).
    Were there any problems in the proposed updates on the period of November 2007 to the end of February 2008 ...
    Besides, the problem of reading the HD DVD, I have not noticed any major problems except perhaps:
    - I start a bit slower (It seems to me that this is the connection to the Internet via WiFi, which slowed the start)
    - an error when burning a CD
    - a problem of installing software as the DVD no longer wanted to stop rotating; I had to stop and to do again PC installation
    Do I go back? ...
    I made a Ghost of my machine before these updates, but if it is a problem of BIOS, I think I will not be able to do

  • Satellite A300 - Cannot start Windows and cannot repair it

    hey
    first i must say my englisch is not the best ;)
    But i hope u undersrand my problem and can help me plz
    Today i bought a A300 notebook
    I have formatiert the second hard drive
    Now i can start windows and i can't repair my system and install new windows
    Please help me !!!!!
    and sorry again for my bad englisch ^^

    To be honest I dont understand your question
    If you have formatted the second HDD this should not be a problem to start Windows.
    Have you burned the recovery disk? Then boot from it and install the notebook.

  • Satellite A200: Cannot use external USB devices properly

    I encountered a problem with my Toshiba notebook and i can't fix it and I am in need your help please..
    The problem is that when i connect a USB portable device (external USB harddisk , iPod ,Flash memory ..etc) with more than 8GB of Memory..
    It's not properly installed in device manager and appears under "universal serial bus controller ".
    But it doesn't say that it's an unknown device. It appears normally with its name, but it's not properly installed (it doesn't say that either ) where it is supposed to be under a specific category (harddisk under "disk drives" , camera under "imaging devices " and so on )
    And i can't use the device because the HDD doesn't appear in "My computer" and my iPod can't be used
    I'd like to inform you that this problem is with all USB devices with more than 8GB of memory.
    Not just one device. I tried many devices to make sure that it's not a problem with the device.
    So it's a problem with my laptop and i installed Windows many times with no progress.
    Thanks for your help in advance ..

    Is it XP or Vista?
    If its XP, ensure you have at least Service Pack 2.
    This hotfix may help XP see high capacity media:

    but that wouldn't really affect external USB HDD's.

  • 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.
    Ales Pospichal

    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.

  • Cannot use webcam on my Satellite A300

    Hi there
    I have installed Windows 7 home premium in my laptop (it had windows Vista) and ever since I can't use my webcam.
    It doesn't appear in device manager and I have install and uninstall many times the drivers but every time I see the message that says that the camera is either disconnected or destroyed and restart the camera or the computer.
    Is there a way to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance.....
    My laptop is Satellite A300-20W with model number PSAGCE-09N00DGE and serial number 29353297Q

    > i want to know if the problem can be easily solved so i can solve it or it is difficult...if it is difficult or i need to exchange camera i won't do anything..
    Its always difficult to disassemble the notebook. Its not like a disassembling of desktop PCs. If you never disassembled such notebook, I would not recommend doing this because you could damage other parts. I think you should ask an specialist to check if the cable is lose or not.
    > how can i install the original vista recovery image??
    Well, you have to use the Toshiba Recovery disk. If you did not create such disk, then you will need to order such disk from Toshiba. Check some threads in the Product Recovery forum.
    > do i need to remove windows 7
    Yes, the recovery disk will format the whole HDD and would remove also the Win 7 system. All your data would be deleted so backup the data before doing such things.
