Satellite A300 PSAGQE - Driver errors after uprgading to Win 7

I have "Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAGQE" 2 days ago I updated my Windows Vista to Windows 7.
Many Driver are ok and working without trouble but 3 drivers are makin trouble as I have noticed.
This are;
Toshiba Firmware Linkage Driver ACPI\TOS1901
Ricoh RL5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter
Ricoh RL5C843 SD/MMC Host Controller
my "FN" is not working and the LED lights are not going on!!!
I searched the whole internet for solutions and saw many people having the same trouble. There are problems but non solutions...
I hope I can fiend help for this problmes here.

Hi Yol_Gezer,
To be honest for me it doesnt sound like problems because you need only new drivers for your notebook they are listed on the Toshiba page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
You need the card reader and Bluetooth driver I think.
Regarding the FN and illumination You should install Toshiba Value Added Package. ;)

Toshiba Satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds!!

my laptop satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds of booting , i dont know why ?? and i searched for support in the website and didn't find it in the model list, also i don't know why ???!!
i want to know why it shuts down , and how can i communicate with support

Yours would not appear to be a US model. We need the Part Number for your laptop, like PSAG8U-05K02C. You can find this on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your laptop. As well, what country was it originally purchased in. In addition, what is your operating system version, like Windows Vista 32bit?

Satellite A300 - touch pad dead after BIOS 2.20 update

Hi,
exact model is Satellite A300 PSAGCA-06M01N running Win XP.
i had a problem with the webcam, and i read in the forum that it may be solved by a BIOS update. so i went ahead and downloaded the latest BIOS from the toshiba website specifically for my laptop model. it went completely well with no errors.
however when the computer restarted after the BIOS update my touchpad doesn't work anymore.
i went to the Device Manager and could still see the Synaptics touchpad device and it says "This device is working properly". but its totally dead and will not respond including the 2 buttons. before i updated the BIOS i had never had any problems with it.
Tried FN+F9 to no avail. plugged in a USB mouse and it works with no problems. In fact, when i plugged in the mouse the synaptics software said " Disabling the touch pad due to external pointing device" so the device driver for the touchpad is working.
if i remove the mouse it will say the touch pad is restored but it is still not working. rebooted many times and still the same problem. went into the BIOS and selected "Default" still a no go.
Can someone offer any advice or ideas please?
I really need the touch pad for the way i use the laptop...

Hi,
thank you for your reply. i already checked the BIOS setting for "Pointing Devices" and made sure its enabled. its the only setting in there that relates to the touch pad. just to make sure though i disabled it and then rebooted, after which i rebooted again and enabled it to no effect. i know this is not an isolated instance, as my search has turned up some with exactly the same problem. I'm really disappointed with Toshiba.
regards,

Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) - Hardware problems after installing win7 ultimate

Hello and good day,
I've installed win7 ultimate a few days ago and windows managed to recognize most of my hardware accept my build in mic and camera and another component I am not sure about what it is (Windows update automatically downloaded the sound and graphics driver for me).
My questions are - where can find the remaining drivers and where can I get the preinstalled Toshiba tools and software? (The driver site in the Toshiba support page does not include those drivers and software)
Thank you very much
Roi Ben Simon

Hi
I have Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) too and installed Win7 Home premium and everything works perfect.
At first I must say that I don't know where you have searched drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities because all stuff is downloadable on Toshiba support & download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
It is logic that mic will not work if you didn't installed proper driver. Install drivers alone and not using Microsoft update. What you need are real and tested drivers and not some free drivers from internet.
Go to Toshiba download page and install all stuff following this installations order:
-Win7
-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

Satellite A300 - Hard drive sound

Hi everyone,
Just got a Satellite A300 out of the box and I was surprise that I can hear the hard drive spin. Is this normal ? My old machine didn't have this constant sort of hushing sound.....
Thanks for any reply
Otherwise nice machine

Hello Lodnar
I really do not know what you want to read here. Either contact your local dealer or nearest authorized service provider and clarify this. Any kind of discussion here will not help much. Do not waste your time and clarify this as soon as possible.

Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA -02Y010 - Error: Webcam driver open failed

Problem:
Recieve error every time I try to use Camera Assistance Software for Toshiba: Webcam driver open failed. Please restart camera or computer. Web cam also does not work in Skype. It seems that this is a very common problem with the A300s series, yet there is no clear solution out there.
Hardware
Series: A300
Model: PSAGCA -02Y010
Software
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba: 1.7.175.0123
Details
I recently did a clean install of Windows 7, updating from Windows Vista. I never used the web cam on Windows Vista, so I can't testify as to whether the web camera was workin correctly or not. However, when I tried to use it with Skype, it did not work. I reinstalled the driver that I backed up before I installed the new operating system, but it did not work. The web cam doesn't show up at all in Device Manager - even when set to display hidden devices. Trying to add new hardware through the control panel fails to detect the web camera at all. I have restarted after every install/repair of the driver.
Steps Taken
Reinstalled backuped drivers
I used third party software (Double Driver) to back up and reinstall the drivers for the web camera after I installed Windows 7. Double Driver claimed there was no device to install the driver for. I manually copied the files into the Camera Assistance folder and overwrote the existing ones. The files I copied were:
casflr.cat
oem34.inf
restore.ini
UVCFTR_S.SYS
Reinstalled Drivers from Toshiba Website
Extensive goolging has only turned up recommendations to uninstall and reinstall drivers. I was unable to find any drivers specifically for windows 7 64-bit, but I did try those for my model of laptop for Windows Vista 64-bit - no luck. I tried installing Camera Assistance Software for Toshiba, which as far as I can tell, includes the driver - it only gives me the error described above.
I also tried locating a generic Windows 7 driver for the web camera - I was unable to find one.
Check Registry Value Is Correct
I have also tried checked the registry value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/ControlSet001/Enum/USB/SN001/ClassUID matches the value in C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\driver\64bit\casflr.inf as and C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\driver\32bit\casflr.inf recommended by some article recommend.
Please, I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out here. I have exhausted all the options I can think of.
Likely Solution:
I encountered a thread post that suggested a loose wire was responsible and that the camera would work when the lid was almost closed. I tried this and the camera suddenly appeared in device manager. However, I still can't get it to work with Camera Assistant Software or Skype.

Hi - I'm a newbie to this forum.
I have an A300 Satellite Pro - not even 2 years old.
In the last 2 days I have 2 problems that I think are possibly related.
1. Like others on here I now cannot get my internal webcam to work. I get the 'webcam driver open failed' message. I have read some forums etc and today I have:
a) loaded most recent BIOS,
b) reloaded the webcam software drivers (the most recent seems to be from 2008!)
c) restarted my laptop about 20 times
Nothing works
2. In the last 2 days for the first time I keep getting the 'USB device not recognised' message that annoyingly crops up about every 10 seconds. I am assuming that the webcam is connected to a USB port (internal) and is no longer being recognised. Based on Google advice in various forums I have also:
1) Turned off the AC power supply
2.) Taken out the laptop battery and waited 5 mins - this apparently resets the BIOS
3) tried using device manager in various ways
Nothing bloody works!!
Maybe the hardware is damaged but I doubt it - I have not dropped the laptop, I always pack it carefully in a padded rucksack. It has always worked fine until 2 days ago.

Satellite Pro A300 - Webcam driver fails to start under Win 7

Recently purchased a Sat Pro A300 and immediately upgraded from Vista Bus to Win7 Pro.
Didn't try to use webcam before upgrade.
Post-upgrade, after downloading and installing Chicony webcam software from Toshiba, continually get message "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer".
Camera appears in Device Manager and says driver is a Microsoft driver v 6.1.7600.16385 dated 21/6/06 (very pre-Win7!).
Have tried unistalling/reinstalling camera assistant software with and without first uninstalling camera in Device Manager, but same error message comes back every time. I'd much appreciate some suggestions re a fix.

Hi
In your case I would try to install the latest webcam driver from Toshiba. Install this driver and try it again. Make also sure that latest BIOS version is installed for your notebook.
Furthermore it would be interesting to know if the same problem occurs on Vista. You should try it with factory settings. So you can identify if its a hardware or software problem.

Satellite L30-10Y: Checksum error after upgrading to 2Gb RAM

Hi
I have a Satellite L30-10Y ^ months ago I upraded the RAM to 1.5Gb by adding a 1Gb RAM card to the 512Mb card supplied this worked fine.
I also upraded my sons Hi-Grade lapto with exactly the same specification of RAM which also worked fine. So I decided to up grade my L30 10Y with another card of the same specification to bring it upto 2 Gb as specified by TOSHIBA.
I booted the computer to find the hay presto after the start screen The Following message appeared *"_The file is possibly corrupt.
The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum_"* The computer then froze and I turned it off.
Checks I made Tried both cards in both slots No change, 1 card in both slots (one slot empty) Works fine. Other card in both slots(works Fine) Sons Card in my computer both slots (works fine) All three cards and 512mb card in all configuration of both slots and cards(works fine). All three 1gb cards in all configerations of cards and slots back to error message and some time 1 long beep and 2 short ones.
Yes the cards were installed properly. Cannot alter anything to do with BIOS although this can be accssed. Cannot run from dvd drive although I can select it.
Went back to 1.5Gb and reinstalled all OS from Toshiba recovery disk tried all over again same results. Running windows vista home basic, Bios is the latest download. RAM is compatible. Sons cheep Hi-Grade accepts all RAM in all Configurations no bother OS windows XP.
Can anyone think of anything I have not tried or should I just go and by a hi-grade computer?

Hi Eldorado
Thanks for your reply, 2 of these modules were bought 6 months ago from the same company at the same time (company Offtek) who do a computer scan and provide the modules specific to your computer, and even then I checked the specification of the modules against the upgrade that Toshiba who also scanned my computer on registration and the modules are DDR2 533MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM . The Third module came from the same company with the same specification.
I am very sure that all three modules will be compatible to the computer, and the specifications does not require the modules are matched pairs like the old sd ram. So what we have is a computer that will run two completely differnt modules of different sizes made by different manufacturers possibly slightly different specs, but will not run two modules from the same manufacturer made at the same time with exactly the same spec.(Must be a break through of innovation for Toshiba!)
I think the beeps may have been a little misleading as these did not accord every time I started the computer over the many tests I did, I still have to look up what these codes signify. I tried looking in the Toshiba knowledge database but I think it's empty or they just don't have any knowledge complete waste of time or I don't know how to use it.
My next step its to contact Offtek and see what they suggest, Find out what the Header checksum is and what it is supposed to report and find out what the computed checksum is and why it does not match. One more thing I did notice that in the BIOS it did not report the full 2048mb it only reported 1984mb of RAM but I think this may be that video memory uses part of this. *_Unless someone out there knows something different_*

Satellite L675D: Blue Screen error after upgrading to Windows 8

Hello,
I've recently upgraded my Toshiba laptop to Windows 8 and every time I use it, after 5-10 minutes, I get a blue screen page of error and the laptop restarts.
The problem is really annoying.
I've discovered that if I don't plug in the battery charger, the laptop works normally, but I'd like to solve the problem properly.
What should I do?

> I've installed Windows 8 Pro with a regular activation key: I had Windows 7 before and I simply updated it to Windows 8. >I don't know about the drivers.. I think that may be the problem, but I also reckon the drivers are ok! Do you know a good way to check it out? Or where I can find the proper drivers?
Windows 8 drivers for Satellite L675D dont exist on Toshiba EU driver page. The L675D series does not support Windows 8.
However, even if the drivers are not available and Windows 8 is not supported, it should not be a big problem to run this system on the Satellite L675D.
You said that you simply updated the Win 7 to Win 8.
Maybe you should try a clean installation of Windows 8?
I think its worth a try in case its an software problem.
By the way: I assume this kind of problem did not appear using Windows 7. Right?

Hard Drive errors after update attempt

I have a Macbook with Mac OSX 10.5.7. 2.2 GHz Intel core duo 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM Western Digital 320GB Hard drive
I attempted updating to the newest version and the computer froze part way through. When I tried to restart I got the daisy wheel running on the grey screen, but would not go further. So i put in the Install Disc, and hit power button and shift key. I got as far as Installer, but when I got the window that asked where to install the OS, there were no choices in the window.
I then removed the disc and tried to boot up, which it did. All the data is there, but I did lose my desktop customization. All applications launch OK (I have tried about a third) except Safari. Safari will not launch.
Based on another post in the forum, i went to Disk Utility and tried to Repair the disk. It failed due to a "Invalid Node Structure". So I tried to Repair Disk Permissions (also based on a forum post). That ran OK, but now the Repair Disk button is grayed out. And when I try to Verify Disk, I get the following:
SMART Status is verified, Partition Map Scheme is GUID.
In the History Window:
Performing Live Verification
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume
Checking Extents Overflow file
Checking Catalog file
(the next three lines are in red letters)
Invalid Node Structure
The volume MacHD needs to be repaired
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed
I have also found that there is no longer an administrator for the computer. It is actually my daughter's, and both she and I have (used to have) administrator privileges. Now in Accounts we are both listed as Standard users. I tried to update software. When asked to give my password, it said I was not an administrator (Using the correct password). Neither would my daughter's password work. The laptop does not think we are administrators.
So now the computer is running, and all data is still on it. But I cannot launch Safari. And I cannot update software (as there is no administrator).
(I have seen some posts suggesting third party software which may fix my disk. But they cost $100 and I can buy a new hard drive for 60 to 80.)
Has anyone a clue as to what went wrong? More important- does anyone know how to fix it??
Many thanks in advance.
Mark

After I erase the hard drive (I assume one pass of writing zeros is good enough, 7 passes not needed?) do I turn off the laptop, then turn on and insert the Install Disk? Will there be a prompt telling me when to put in the disk? Or do I put in the disc right after erasing?
One pass is fine. If you've previously backed up your hard drive to an external hard drive using SuperDuper!, which is what I use and recommend, or another program, if it created a bootable drive, you want to boot off of it, bring up SuperDuper! and copy the drive back to the internal hard drive. SuperDuper also makes the drive bootable. When done, reboot, and you should be all set. If you're using Time Machine, you'll want to install the operating system, then restore the Time Machine backup. SuperDuper! is available from http://www.shirt-pocket.com/superduper/superduperdescription.html
Finally- should I update the OS? Is there a problem with the newest update that caused this crash, or was it just a spurious glitch/bad luck?
I've been running 10.5.8 for awhile with no issues, and would recommend moving to it.

Satellite C660-26G - unexpected error after removing USB stick

Hello all, i am in need of help here.
I have a Satellite C660-26G, 2 days old and a USB memory stick has been removed from the laptop while it was working, and I believe caused some sort of corruption.
The machine starts, passes the logo, and the windows loading bar in white comes along bottom of the screen. It freezes about 1/3rd of the way along, and then throws up an error screen stating the following:
"Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB drive while the drive is in use .... and so on ...."
It states to plug it back in and restart the machine.
I have tried this and always the same, i have even plugged it into both ports available, and to no avail, the same problem exists.
Now searching the forum I thought nothing more of restoring to the factory settings as there were no physical discs supplied with the new machine.
Using the reboot and F8 method results in no action and same error in the end.
Bottom of the error screen states;
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred.
Please help ???

Hi
Whether this issue has any relation to the incident with you USB stick or not (I don't think so since modern OS'es simply aren't so unstable) it still seems your unit is in need of professional attention.
This is not something that is possible to fix without further hardware diagnosis.
I would suggest to call your local support or talk to your dealer about how to get your unit to service.

Installed Arch on external usb drive: Drive errors after reboot

I installed Arch on my external usb hard drive and everything seemed to be working fine. After rebooting though, I had a bunch of filesytem errors (ext3) and the system was unstable. I am guessing that this has to do with the unloading of the usb modules at shutdown. If this happens to early, then the root drive doesn't have a chance to shutdown properly, hence the filesystem errors.
Anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks!

EtreCheck looks at your log files for any kernel I/O errors. That is what it is reporting. EtreCheck just reports what it finds and tries to avoid judgements exception the most extreme cases. The drive might be OK. I am seeing more reports of this than I would have expected. It may just be a problem with Yosemite. It really prefers SSD disks in all cases. On my own machine, I have seen a slow external drive exhibit classic failure symptoms and sounds when connected via USB2. But then when I switched to FW800, it was fine. Other people are reporting that when they downgraded back to Mavericks, their disk errors went away.
So, I don't have a good answer for you. The drive might be bad, and it might be fine. Yosemite is definitely having problems with it. You may experience performance problems with that drive attached.

Hard Drive Error after Erasing - "No Such File or Directory"

I have a Western Digital My Passport 400GB external HD (bought in April 09). It's been working great but I had it on FAT formatting and let's just say transfers are slow. I borrowed another external drive to back everything up so I could reformat this drive to Mac OS.
Problem came after I backed up everything...I ran Disk Utility to erase the HD and format it in Mac OS Extended (journaled). It successfully erased the Hard Drive on All Zeros, taking 6 days, 5 hours, 50 minutes. Then when it tried to partition, I got the error No Such File or Directory. Here's the log:
"Preparing to zero disk : “Untitled”
Secure Erase completed successfully in 6 days, 5 hours, 50 minutes.
Preparing to erase : “Untitled”
Creating Partition Map
Disk Erase failed with the error:
No such file or directory
Erase complete."
So now the hard drive icon doesn't show up on my desktop, but is recognized in DU (without a volume however). Therefore there is no Mount Point and the drive remains unformatted. Any attempt in DU to partition or erase yields the same error message. Searched these discussions for days now without any luck. Please help!

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
I'm not following your problem description .... You said that you successfully erased the hard drive. The next step would be to partition it by giving it a name (you can give it a name under partition or under the erase function) - don't leave it as 'untitled', using Mac OS extended (journaled), a partition size, and ensure under options it says Apple partition map. There are no erasures involved when you partition the drive, which is where I'm confused over your problem description.

Hard Drive error after upgrade to Mavericks

Trying to upgrade my girlfriends MacBook to Mavericks from Lion.
After starting the installer an "Install Failed" message came up saying there was an error with the Hard Drive and it couldn't be repaired. It said to backup all data, whipe the hard drive and try agian.
Thankfully the hard drive was already backed up, but I can't whipe the hard drive. When i go into disk utility and click erase it gives me an error saying the disk can't be unmounted. All this happens while running the Mavericks installer. It also happens in the Lion recovery software.
I should mention there is a boot camp partition running Windows 7, however I am no longer able to access that either.
So to summarize, I can't run Lion or Windows 7, I can't install Mavericks or reinstall Lion, and I can't re-format the hard drive and start again.
Theory i had was using target disk mode and attempting to erase the drive that way, but I'm not sure how i would go about reinstalling Lion or Mavericks if i did that.
Any suggestions would be grealty appreciated! Thanks!

What exactly crashes? iPhoto upgrades to a library or the application?
What format is the external HD?

Re: Satellite A40 - hard drive error - won't boot

My friend bought this laptop in April 2007 and was very happy with it until about a month ago when it stopped booting into windows xp.
On starting she now gets the message
"PXE-E61 media test failure - check cable"
"PXE-M0F exiting intel boot agent"
"insert system disk in drive"
"Press any key when ready"
and then the laptop won't boot into windows.
I thought that the hard drive may have come loose, so I took it out and refitted it, but to no avail.
I have also tried to reinstall with the recovery CD's but get the following error message
"status
GDISK (E) no such fixed disk 1"
this is followed by ***ERROR***
error number 11030
message invalid destination drive
X;
I ran a Toshiba (or it might have been Hitachi) disk checking utility which I burned to a cd and ran on boot up.
This said that there were problems on Toshiba MK4025GAS, which is the hard drive. the details match up with what it actually says on the drive.
The BIOS can see the drive to boot to as it is listed as the master, with the cd drive as the secondary.
Therefore, is it the case that the drive is broken. If so - can it be repaired or is there another solution.
I have tried googling the error message and there are conflicting messages regarding this issue, so your help would be much appreciated.
It seems crazy that the drive can break after only 18 months - was there a faulty batch?
If this is the case does Toshiba offer a replacement or is it going to cost a bundle?
Thank you
Nashy
Message was edited by: Nashy - sorry - it was bought in 2007 NOT 2006

As Im not mistaken the Sat A40 supports the IDE HDD controller and therefore you would need an IDE 2.5 HDD. But I would not recommend buying an HDD bigger than 120GB because there is a tiny risk that the BIOS would not recognize the HDD properly.
