Satellite A300 - Stripe on the bottom of the monitor

Hello,
I don't why the graphic at the bottom of my monitor is completely ruined. At the bottom of the monitor it appears a 3-cm large, white and flashing stripe (half transparent, half composed of parallel tiny black horizontal lines) extending for all the width of the monitor. Plus there's a very narrow light blue, vertical line, also extending for all the height of the monitor.
Below you can find are the details of my computer.
Could anyone suggest me how to proceed please?

Hi andre.bo,
Can you notice the same problem on an external monitor? I had a similar issue but after I tested an external monitor I noticed, that it was only related to the internal monitor and not the graphic card.
Check this!!!
Furthermore you can get all original Toshiba spare parts from an authorized service provider and the guys can fix this problem too! :)

Satellite A300-21H - What the hidden partition means?

Hi,
I have a Satellite A300-21H and using MS vista but will be getting dual boot ubuntu soon.
When i look up my disk size i see C drive is 148GB and then there is an E drive also at 147GB.
The E drive is ntfs ( contains a folder called HDD recovery and text file ) - i assumed this was the recovery disk but it seems rather huge!.
Then i looked into the manula to see the recover should only be 1.5GB and there is a hidden 1.5GB drive on the disk also.
My question is what is the E drive, can i merge it with the C drive? and can i wipe it and still use the 1.5 GB to recover things? and The two back up DVD's i made what are they for?
Thanks in advance:
Patrick

Hi buddy
The notebook contains 3 partitions;
One partition contains the Vista OS
The second partition contains the HDD recovery folder. This HDD recovery folder is needed for HDD recovery procedure. You can recover the notebook without using the disk. You can boot from the HDD and can start the HDD recovery process.
But its strongly recommended to create a recovery disk! This could be helpful if something will go wrong with the preinstalled OS and the HDD recovery.
Last partition (the hidden one) contains the Vista backup files called WinRE.
This backup files are needed in order to repair the OS in critical situations
Its no recommended to remove, delete or merge this partition!

Satellite A300-247 - Logo of the model always turned off

Hello
have a problem that I bought the computer Toshiba Satellite A300-247.
The logo Satellite was always on fire Ohcshio off or how do it would be always a crush

Hi!
To be honest I dont know what you mean exactly. Do you mean the illumination logo on the keyboard?
As far as I know the illumination of the notebook (multimedia keys, etc.) controls the Value Added Package so I think you should reinstall this tool. You can find it on the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/ => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Before you install the newest version you should remove the old version first and then restart the notebook. Now you can install the new VAP.
By the way, did you install some Windows updates? I had a problem with the illumination after I installed some Windows updates.

I cannot find a way to boot Satellite A300 from USB

Hi,
I need some advice please.
I have recently upgraded from an Equium A210-1c4 to a Satellite A300-1BZ.
The equium booted from USB no problem.
How do I set the A300 to boot from USB?

I tried that... it just boots to the HDD.
The DOS option menu from F12 lists only HDD1, CD/DVD and LAN - not USB ??
The BIOS boot options only list the same??
Is there an option to "enable" usb for the boot options?
Is there a bios upgrade from 2.7 that allows the USB to boot?

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 - 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.

Satellite A300 - After BIOS update black screen

Hello all,
I just applied the BIOS update on my Satellite A300. After the update successful, the system does a reboot. Now when I try to power it up I get no display, I can hear the hear running, the CD Drive reading the DVD, led blinking.
The Toshiba ASP tolled me (phone call) the mainboard should be replaced after a unsuccessful bios update, but it's very expensive for me, :(
Please can you tell me if they are any way to fix it without mainboard replacement? The bios is a Insyde and according to the website the bios has bios [Recovery Technology|http://www.insydesw.com/press/2008/press_060308.htm]. I guess that the ASP doesn't know that.
Please can you tell me how to start the recovery procedure if it's possible (key combination?),
Any help about fixing the laptop without mainboard replacement will be much appreciated.

There are cases when the chip that containes the bios is removed from the motherboard and with a memory writing device (special to do this) it is posible to rewrite the bios(in my country, Romania it is not possible at the Toshiba Service, they change the motherboard wich cost 400-500 euro, but there are guys in electronics who do things like this...).
This is the happy case to rewrite, when this is possible. But there are exceptions when you can't do anything and you have to change the motherboard.(bad bios update coud burn your entire motherboard or several components /parts).
In what I've read " For example, on other manufactures PC compatible systems with Award BIOS and AMI BIOS there is dedicated small area, often about 8 kiB or so, called bootblock which starts first" , if your bios si from award or ami they have lets say a small progam which starts first, checks if bios is oki then is booting normal , if not it tries to recover it and boot.
In your case this is not possible even if you have the specific computer with that kind of bios because the screen doesn't start.
*Your case is simillar to mine* so you could hope that your video card is broken and not your motherboard.
My advice to you is to go to the service and diagnostic the problem and see what is the solution.

I spent too much time (almost 2 days) at trying and reading forum, so I think that it would be useful to share my experiment, especially because it's a frequent problem.

Performance in compatibility is really poor (slowness at copying big files, windows takes so long to start up, CPU consumption), it’s 20 times better with SATA.<br />

Re: Satellite A300-1MZ hot area near the touchpad

Hi all.
I've a *Satellite A300-1MZ*
I'd know what lies beneath the touchpad. The area becomes hot enough.
I'd like to know also what is positioned in the bottom left of the notebook, the area becomes a bit hot after a couple of hours of use.
If possible,attached me a pattern that will show me the placement of all components of the notebook.
Thanks
p.s.the cpu temperatures are regular: about *42-45* with normal usage

If you see WLAN switch on the left it does not mean the WLAN card is also placed there.
On the right side is placed main HDD. On the left is additional one.
Your notebook is delivered with one HDD and this means just right side will be/should be more warm than left. Remove cover placed under the left side and you will see there is nothing inside.
Just for your info: WLAN card on Satellite A300 is placed under the keyboard (in the middle) and not near the WLAN switch.

Hello
Im wondering that you want to upgrade to 8GB RAM... Normally 3 or 4GB should be more as enough for all applicaions at the moment.
Anyway, as Jayjay said its not possible to upgrade to 8GB. A friend of me has a Satellite A300 and the user manual says that it can upgrade to 4GB or 2GB (depending on the chipset). So if you have a PM965/GM965/RS690M chipset you can upgrade it to 4GB. Otherwise you can only use up to 2GB.
I have upgraded my Toshiba notebook with Kingston RAM. This is high quality RAM and has a good compatibility. I never had problems with such modules.

If I have a box with a title strip at the bottom, how do I make the strip pop up on mouse over

So I am building a website for my company and Ive hit a brick wall on something that I know I could make work correct but I dont have the time and dont want to contiue to waste time experimenting. I have been using adobe flash and I know how to use it but not on this level I guess, I have got it to work in some cases but seems like it would be the worst to edit if needed.
Im trying to make a box (button) that has a visible title strip at the bottom of it. When you mouse over the title slides up and it shows information, which you can click to go to a link or mouse out and it will go back down. Ive been trying everything and something always seems to not go just right. I need it to be fluid, for I will be doing it to 6 boxes in a row on the landing page of the site. Please let me know if anyone knows what Im talking about or can help in any way possible! There is an example on the sony site near the bottom with 4 boxes. http://www.sony.com/index.php
Also, If anyone were to know the answer to the Q above, What would be the best template to start in for this?
Thanks, T

Consider something like a JavaScript library for your tabs. You can do it yourself with standard jQuery effects easily (http://learn.jquery.com/effects/intro-to-effects/) or even use something premade as a wrapper if you really choose like jQuery UI (http://jqueryui.com/toggle/). Simple things like revealing content via a tab should be done in a modern way.
The content of the tabs can be SWFs if you really have some serious animations/etc they can exist inside there.

Re: How to use the second hard drive in Satellite A300?

I have been given a second hand Satellite A300 that was being thrown out due to a faulty DVD.
I fixed the DVD and have a perfect working system.
On opening the case I discovered it has 2 x 250GB hard drives. I checked CMOS and the 2 drives show. Yet, Vista only shows the one drive.
Excuse my ignorance but how do I access the second drive?

I have Satellite A300 with two hard drives and each HDD has other operating system. Both HDDs are recognized properly.
I dont know what is wrong there but both HDDs should be recognized automatically.
Try to set BIOS to default settings and check it again.
Try to start bootable Microsoft installation disc and check if both HDDs are shown in setup.
I just hope there is no some hardware problem.

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
