Satellite A300 - What is new in Bios version 2.20

Hi!
Does anybody know what's now in bios version 2.20?
I just found it on the support site, but I can't find any details about it? I's funny, that there's no information about these upgrades....

Hi
I didnt find any details on the Toshiba European driver page
But I visited the Toshiba US driver page and there you could find the details of BIOS versions for A300 for example;
According to the Toshiba US page this is the change history of BIOS version 2.20 - 2010/01/19
Blocked the eSATA boot function.
Changed the HDD password algorithm.

When updating apps in iTunes there is no more description what's "new in this version"...

Hi
I regulary update my collection of apps via iTunes on my Macbook Pro and then sync back to my iPhone and iPad. When I check out the website of a specific app (https://itunes.apple.com/.../app/.../id) in a browser or in the update tab on my iPad/iPhone I can find a description of what's new in the current version of the app. This used to be also a helpful feature in iTunes but it's gon with iTunes 11. Strange but when updating apps in iTunes there is mostly no more description what's "new in this version"...

I did download these. Tarascon Adult Emergency Medicine, Scanner 911, Angry Birds, Cut the rope, Epicurious, Home Away, Nike Running, etc...
I occationally sync it with my computer. I wonder if I can delete them from there?

Many people have reported that this issue could be solved by BIOS and nVidia driver update!
This is also mentioned here in this Toshiba FAQ:

Ovi Maps 3.6.688 - what's new in this version?

Hi, since today my C6-01 Ovi Store is showing an update for Ovi Maps: 3.6.688.
Does anybody know what's new in this release? I would like to know before I update my phone.
Cheers!

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 - My laptop stucks on BIOS when USB is inserted

Hello!
I am experiencing an issue with my Toshiba Satellite A300. I had burned linux on a usb and i tried to boot from usb.So when the laptop opened i inserted the usb and pressed F12. The pc just stuck on Toshiba - Leading Innovation Screen.In the past i was doing the same thing and it was working just fine.
Now,i can't boot from usb.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Are you sure that the bootable USB flash drive has been created properly?
Did you test an bootable USB windows environment?
Test this.
Furthermore disable the USB Device Legacy Support in BIOS and test the USB booting once again.
By the way: from my knowledge the USB flash drive needs to be connected before powering up the notebook in order to be able to choose USB bootable device.

E9280t can't boot with USB 3.0 cards (multiple vendors tried) New e9280t BIOS version needed

Hello...
I purchased a new e9280t last year from the HP Website complete with 9 gb memory (now 16), Blu-ray/DVD writer & reader, Hauppauge Digital TV tuner, ATI Radeon 4850 Dual Monitor video card, etc... SInce then I've added more memory and a 3 port Firewire 400/800 card. Its running Win 7 Pro (sp1) and the BIOS is v5.29.
I purchased a external USB 3.0 WD drive (3 TB) and a StarTech USB 3.0 card (Amazon.com). After installing the USB 3.0 card, the system would power on for one second and die and then do it again a couple seconds later and the cycle continued until the power cord was pulled. I then pulled the USB 2.0 card and tried again only to have the same results. The only cards that remained in the system during the testing was the ATI card and the Hauppuage TV Card.
Thinking the problem was with the USB 3.0 card, I purchased another vendor's (Rocketfish from BestBuy) and installed it. The same problem as with the other USB 3.0 card, the system won't start.
No driver software or any other changes were made to the system before installation attempts (per vendor's installation instructions).
Since the failures all occur during the initial power up sequence and that the cards were tried with and without having power connected to them, that the problem is only correctable with a BIOS upgrade for the TRUCKEE motherboard. I could be wrong but I'm going on 30 years of hardware experience as my framework for that opinion.
If anyone else has this same problem, It would be good to rally around and see if HP notices us.
Thanks,
Norm
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Greetings,
I have tried multiple vendors and have yet to find a USB 3 card that will allow the computer to boot (for more than a 1/10th of a second).
I've tried removing every card in the system except the the display card and no go. Two of the cards removed had power connectors to them and the third did not. So even after removing those cards along with disconnecting one of the two internal hard drives, I'm certain its not a power issue. As to what it might be, I don't know.
If anyone else has been able to get a USB 3 card to work in that system, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Norm

[RX9800PRO-TD128] What is new in the "version 2" of this card?

I will buy these card (i live in Spain), but in the store (http://www.alternate.es) appears a new version of this card ("version 2") that is cheaper.
What´s the difference between the old and the new versions?
Thank You!

See it by yourself:
http://www.alternate.es -> Hardware (in the left side) -> Gráficas -> Tarjetas gráficas AGP -> ATI.
And then you will see two graphic cards:
RX9800Pro-TD128
(salida de TV, DVI, Retail) 229€
(Tech. info here: http://www3.alternate.es/cgi-bin/info/showtechdata.pl?artnr=j9gn52 )
RX9800Pro-TD128
(TV-Out, DVI, Version 2, Retail) 214€
(Tech info here: http://www3.alternate.es/cgi-bin/info/showtechdata.pl?artnr=j9gn54 )
It´s posible that this last card will haves a 128bit memories, but if somebody knows this thing sure...
Thanks for your help

Satellite P750 - What is my Windows 7 version: 32bit or 64bit?

I'm trying to download the latest version of Java, but I don't know if the Windows 7 that came installed is 32 or 64 bit. Can anyone help?

As Paolo already wrote open system information and there you can see which version of Windows is installed on your notebook.

So what's new in version 1.1?

I juz upgraded my nano to the latest version, version 1.1 today. So, I was wondering what's new in this version? As usual, Apple didn't say what's been fixed/added to the new version. So, I was hopin' someone might know and share with us all the knowledge.
Apple really should provide a changelog for any future updates.

There are never any details with the update on what the the bug fixes are but the major change in 1.1 from the previous version is to enable the iPod for the use of rental movies. As for the changelog idea, you can leave feedback/feature requests at this link: Apple Product Feedback
