Satellite L300-11M and Hardware Upgrade

Hi to all.
I have Toshiba Satellite L300-11M, but my video card is very slow and i can't play games good. So I wanna upgrade it trought buy new video card. But i don't know is my laptopl support AGP slot or only PCI? So what;s best video card from N-VIDIA who support?
Please help me. Thank you.

To be honest I doubt such external graphic card would be really helpful.
According to this article you can connect it to a USB port and in my opinion the USB 2.0 speed is not good enough to transmit a huge amount of data which accrues while playing a game
However, I never tested it so I cannot provide any details.

Satellite L300 - 'W' and 'F' Keys not working - can't log

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300.
My 'F' and 'w' keys arent working, and because I have a Built-in HDD user password of which contains those letters, I can not start up my computer.
I had a 'startup' problem a couple of months back, and what I had to do was restore my laptop to a previous date. I did this through Boot management during startup. The only thing is I cant remember how to do it now.
I cant find any restoration disks that may have come with my laptop- so the only way I can do it is through boot management.
So, how do you do a system restore? or is there another way of fixing this problem?.
Please help!! :)

Hello
If W and F key dont work I would recommend replacing the keyboard or use an external one. In my opinion its the best choice because you also need the keys for typing letters or emails
You can get a new keyboard from an authorized service provider in your country.
> I cant find any restoration disks that may have come with my laptop
I think you should read the user manual because you have to create this disk yourself ;)

Satellite A505-S6973 and OS Upgrade

Fellow toshiba laptop users,
I'm here tonight to find out, my laptop has the touchpad and quickplay buttons and I was wondering if I were to upgrade my pc to Windows 7 would i be able to use all these features (plus eco utility and pc health monitor).
I ask this question because currently my pc has, what is supposed to be a 500Gb harddisk, 317 GB hard disk space available but i barely have information or documents stored on my system. I can understand i have programs installed but still to occupy that amount.
So, long story short, if i were to remove and install the Windows 7 operating system, and i installed the toshibha value added package and eco utility programs would that be all I would need to dload and install because i like this pc.
Also can anyone with a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 tell me if they can the feel the breeze coming out of their laptop because my fan seems to blow slow and the temperature on my system is always high, currently FAN SPEED 90% and CPU TEMPERATURE 64%, and I hav my system configured to use low power.
I appreciated any and all comments, suggestions and advice...

I don't have US notebook model and cannot answer to your second question but I know for sure that Win7 works well on Satellite A500.
Two months ago I had friends Satellite A500 at home. Originally it was preinstalled with Vista.
I made two experiments to see how it works with Win7. At first I have upgraded it with Toshiba upgrade kit and everything was OK.
With clean OS installation everything was OK too.
Before you start Win7 installation please check Toshiba support page to be sure which version is fully supported. Here in Europe only Win7 64bit is fully supported.

Cluster and Hardware Upgrade

My plans are to upgrade our GroupWise cluster from OES2 to OES11 onto new hardware. The current hardware is on a SAN Array. Don't know if doing an inplace upgrade and then migrate to new hardware, or is there a rolling upgrade process. Any advice or direction to articles would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks

As you're definitely going to chnage the hardware anyways, do a rolling
upgrade. No point in touching the old nodes.
Should be very well documented.

PeopleSoft and Hardware Upgrade

We are currently looking to do some upgrading from Tools 8.49 to Tools 8.50, from Financials 9.0 to 9.1, and from Oracle 10gR2 to 11gR2.
In addition to all of this we are looking to change our RDBMS hardware as well. We are looking at going from a Sun V490 to a Sun M4000.
I am wondering if anyone out there is running the PeopleSoft system on a Sun M4000, and if there were/are issues with this platform. Has the hardware been proven to be a good fit for the DB and PeopleSoft?
Thanks in advance for any input.

Looks like a big bang.
Furthermore, the performance also will may be here, see the following :

Satellite A65-S1062 and procesor upgrade

Hi!
I have Toshiba Satellite A65-S1062. What is the best processor I can install?

Its very difficult upgrading the CPU, I found this article that will explain it: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

CS6, eLearning suite, Technical Communication Suite: licenses and hardware upgrade.

In my PC I have installed:
Creative Suite Master Collection 6.0
eLearning Suite 6.1
Technical Communication Suite 4.0
I'm upgrading my HDD to a new SSD disk (cloning) and putting it into a newer PC
The old disk will be erased.
Am I going to have any problem with my Adobe licenses?
Do I have to do anything?
Thanks
Patrick

>It will most likely not clone properly for at least the Adobe products... they need to be installed.
could you please elaborate on this? the product is already installed and a cloned disk is an exact copy.
>Deactivate the old installation and uninstall it so that it does not transfer to the new drive. Re-install using the installation files.
Yes I know I can do this. I'm trying to avoid uninstalling/reinstalling everything. As I see it I just probably need to cycle deactivate/clone/activate.
But I need more than just a guess.
Thanks.

Satellite L300-1AQ and Wireless 'Lock Up' issue

On occasions the little wireless icon on the taskbar displays a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it and internet ceases operation (other computers in the house work fine so its not the router). Moving the cursor over the icon or right clicking show no messages instantly though after probably a minute or two it says 'limited connectivity or 'repair..
Because the icon is so slow and unresponsive I usually turn off the computer - this takes far longer than normal to log off and shut down.
On restarting the laptop the internet will not work - there is a red cross on the wireless icon. Right click on this and repair shows option 'turn on wireless utility' and when selected it reconnects. The wireless switch on the laptop is left on all the time.
This occasional lock up and required reboot is a nuisance, but I am asking what is the problem and how can I rectify it?
Thanks

Hey,
As Tonny wrote make sure that you are using latest BIOS and WLAN version. Please check this on the Toshiba page first!
If new driver version doesnt help it seems to be a hardware malfunction but its not easy to say what is causing this The WLAN card can be replaced in few minutes from a notebook technician but in my opinion it could be also a problem of the WLAN antennas or mainboard. Its hard to say so the notebook should be checked from a authorized Toshiba technician.

How can I unistall Vista from Satellite L300-11Q and install Windows XP

Hello!
Help please: How can I unistall Windows Vista from my notebook and install Windows XP?
Should I do something with discs and BIOS before it, or I can just format disc C and then install XP from CD-disc?
How can I make a recovery disc before uninstalling Vista?
Thank you very much!

Greetings,
I had such a hard time finding exact information on downgrading Vista to XP recently, I'm posting this on several different threads in hopes I can save others some time and effort; sorry for cross-posting.
When installing XP over Vista, instead of worrying over getting Intel Matrix Storage, streamlining a CD with it and SPII, blah, blah, blah, why not just go into BIOS at startup and switch the SATA setting under Advanced Disk Management from (whatever the default is) to "Compliant"? This allows the XP install to see the drive as an IDE, (actually ATA), and POOF! Your problems are solved with a LOT less hassle. (The XP install disk DOES have to have Service Pack II on it.)
I just did this over the past weekend, and it worked great. (Actually I didn't have much of a choice, as the processor on my Toshiba is an AMD, not Intel, so all the downloading and configuring CD's with matrx storage in the world wouldn't have done me a bit of good; the AMD processor "chipset" is contained within the graphics driver setup.)
Save yourselves a lot of time and headaches and forget the whole matrix storage thing. As far as I can tell it would also work with an Intel processor, but since you can "turn SATA off", IMHO it's a huge waste of time mucking around with the matrix storage. If you want full SATA configuration after all's said and done, you can always go back in and turn the BIOS switch back to SATA after you have XP up and running and have just used the executable to install the matrix drivers.
Cheers,
Kutsavi

Hi
I had a message that my webcam is locked by another application.
This has appeared because I started the Skype and the Skype has used the webcam while I trying to start the webcam software.
Solution was to disable the webcam software and Skype in msconfig.
Then I rebooted the notebook. Now if I want to use the webcam software I have to start the webcam software firstly. Then a webcam icon appears in the task bar and I can use the webcam without any error messages.

You must not shutdown your notebook.

Satellite L300 - Is overheating and shuts down

I've just got my laptop back after getting it fixed (new HDD & BIOS/FW update according to the sheet that came with it). But now another problem has developed with the laptop overheating & auto shutting down a lot as a result.
Is there any way to check that the fan is actually working inside as I think that it might not be?

Hello
Maybe you have to clean the notebook. What do you think about this?
I have Satellite L300 too and I clean it every 3 months. Im wondering how much dust comes out if I clean it using compressed air spray. This is very nice to clean the notebook because I dont have to disassemble the notebook and it takes only few minutes.
Compressed air spray you can buy from every computer shop so check this!!
Last but not least did you install the correct BIOS for your L300? Because on the Toshiba driver download page you can choose between different L300 models.

Satellite L300-1BW - Is very slow

Hi, everyone!
Recently, I bought TOSHIBA SATELLITE L300-1BW (PSLB8E)
Link: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?service=UK&userAction=SMP_RESU LTS_PAGE&partNumber=PSLB8E-03F007EN&serialNumber=Y8805872q&USER_ACTION=Serial %20number
I need this for my study and home using. Computer working VERY slowly. Now I have a Windows XP Pro SP3 64-bit version. Programs what I have only Ms Office, Skype, Nero, antivirus - BitDefender. I do not play any games. Application Im using for my study only - Ms Word.
My computer was checked in service center and no any faults were wound - no any sofware and hardware damages, viruses, no any manufacture faults. Owners of these model please give me advice what to do. I stucked!
Do I need to install Windows XP 32bit or install Windows 2000 or any hardware upgrade (memory ... whatever)? I don`t want be disappointed by TOSHIBA!
Ill appreciate any HELP!

Hi buddy,
Can you be a little bit more detailed, please? What do you understand with very slow?
How long it takes to startup Windows?
How long it takes to start an application?
I have to say that Windows XP 64bit wasnt popular and there is no official support from Toshiba for this OS. If you want to use Windows XP, I can recommend installing the 32bit version.
Have you tested your notebook with factory settings? Does it work properly with preinstalled OS from Toshiba?
Im also Satellite L300 owner and I use the preinstalled Windows XP 32bit from Toshiba. Im very satisfied with this notebook, its pretty fast and need few energy. :)

Since I installed a printer software Satellite L300 has stopped working

Hello there!
I'm new here so not really sure if I'm posting in the right place. Mods, please feel free to move to the relevant section, thank you.
OK I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 Laptop and ever since I installed a printer software on Wednesday night, my laptop has suddenly stopped working!
Ever since Thursday night, I have been trying to get it working but I'm faced with this message:
when i load it up it goes to Windows error recovery:
'windows has failed to start.a recent hardware or software change might be the cause
if windows files have been damaged or configured incorrectly,startup repair can help diagnose and fix the problem.if power was interrupted during startup,choose start windows normally'
then it gives two options: Launch startup repair (recomended)
start windows normally
==========
-so i click launch startup repair (reccomended)
-then a scren loads up called 'system recovery options'.. it says: select an operating system to repair and click next.only windows vista operating systems are listed and can be repaired
if you do not see your operating system listed, click load drivers to load drivers for your hard disks'.....
but nothing comes up so i click load drivers and it just gives me loads of random folders...and i haven't a clue which ones to load
========
5 years ago Report Abuse
Additional Details
so i just click 'next'
========
then i have 5 options:
-startup repair
-system restore
-windows complete pc restore
-windows memory diagnostic tool
-command prompt
==========
startup repair says it cannot manually fix any problems
-system restore just says your computer is in a limited state and performing this action cannot be changed...but there is no option to do so
-windows comple pc restore says i need to insert a backup disk which I dont have
windows memory diagnostics tool says that windows is preventing this
============
but on the system resotre it tells me to type something like: rstrui.exe /OFFLINE:C:\Windows
but i don't know where...i typed it in the command prompt but don't understand how to use it
=========
i also tried to click start windows normally but it won't work

If the problem is installed software, start notebook in safe mode and try to start system restore from there.
Please let me know which options are available. Can you roll back OS few days back?
Are some restore points listed there?
