Satellite L300-17L PSLBCE

I recently inquired on where to get support and drivers for this newly bought laptop and was correctly directed. Thanks.
The problem I have is that when I try to install some of the utilities that I got for this laptop I get an error message of a missing module. I dont know where to find it. For instance, the Power Saver that I downloaded doesn't even install. When I start to install I get the following message;
A fatal error has occured. This program will be terminated. Code: 0x2
I get this message despite formatting my computer several times. What could be the problem?
Please help.

Satellite L300-17L
When you look up the Toshiba drivers and utilities here, you'll need to look up the Satellite L300 with Short Model No. PSLBCE.
when I try to install some of the utilities that I got for this laptop I get an error message of a missing module.
Tell us at least what version of Windows you use. That laptop apparently starts life with none.

Re: Satellite L300-17l - Toshiba Power Saver gives me error after install

When I bought my L300-17l all drivers from Toshiba drivers download pafe worked ok.
Recently I reinstalled my XP OS and now I started installing again all the drivers. LAN was ok, WLAN was ok, Display driver was ok.
But when I get to install Toshiba Power Saver ( URL: [http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/pwrsav-en-20080519172104.zip] ) it gives me this error ( it shows the error either after I click finish on the instalation or before installing has begun, as you can see on this screenshot ) - [http://www.picvalley.net/v.php?p=u/2381/9078672171740560287.JPG]
I tried later this - i go ot control panel and open Toshiba Power Saver, but then it gives me another error - " CANNOT open because you do not have access rights to use "TOSHIBA Power Saver".
I reinstalled again my XP and it still gives me this error....I wonder what the problem could be....PLS help me

Hi
Satellite L300-17L belongs to the PSLBCE series.
I chosen this model number and found exactly the same power saver which you have tried to install.
Therefore I assume you have chosen the right Power Saver Utility for this notebook model.
But did you install also the Common Module?
This software should be installed firstly before any other tools installation.
Did you update the Win XP to the latest state?

Satellite L300-17L - don't see any wireless networks detected

Hello all,
I just bought a Satellite L300 - 17L. All drivers seem to work except for the wireless card.
First, I installed the driver pointed by this site but I discovered that the card is actually an Intel Pro 3945 card, not Realtek as specified in the driver section.
Now I installed the driver for the INTEL PRO 3945ABG, version 11.5.1.15 and also the PRO Set utility, and I don't see any wireless networks detected.
I have a colleague that sees many networks using the same adapter but on a other Laptop.
I also tested the switch on the Laptop and it is on.
Did you experience this kind of problems on your system ? Please help me because I am really sad because of this issue.
Thanks & Best regards
Valentin

Hi
As far as I know this notebook was equipped with the Intel 11a/b/g WLan card.
You should firstly check if the WLan router and the WLan card use the same WLan standard.
In the WLan card properties (in device manger) you could check this settings choosing Advanced tab.
I would also recommend checking if the WLan was enabled properly
Bye

Sound drivers for Satellite L300-17l don't work

I have installed XP Sp2 on my Satellite L300-17l. I downloaded the drivers I need from Toshiba official site. The display and WLan and Lan drivers were ok but the sound driver does not work. After installing the sound driver windows says "Your new hardware was installed but may not work properly".
I have tried 2 versions of the driver that are in the official site but neither one worked. I started to worry if the sound hardware on my new notebook is ok at all?
Any solutions ? I can't get the problem for couple of days now..need help dudesa

Before you would install the sound driver you should firstly install the
AUDIO Patch *KB835221* and *KB888111*.
These are Microsoft hotfixes. Search in the net for the download
After installation reboot the OS and then try to reinstall the sound driver again.

Satellite L300-17N (PSLBCE) - Wireless Card is not working

Hello,
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 (PSLBCE) which came without any OS and dirvers. I installed WXP PRO SP2 on it and downloaded all drivers from Toshiba site. Everything was installed ok and working except the WLAN card. The WLAN card it's a Realtek RTL8187B but it's not recognized by my laptop: If I check the device manager it does not appear (it only appears 'Network Controller' with yellow mark). Then I went to Realtek website and download new drivers from there and installed again....also with these dirvers the WLAN card still not recognized.
Any idea what coud be the problem? I'm sure I downloaded the correct dirvers from Toshiba website and also from Realtek site...but none of them helped. The chipset drivers were also installed and also the latest BIOS version (my BIOS version is newer that the one on the toshiba website with the drivers for this model)
Can it be a conflict with other dirvers or with WXP PRO SP2?
Thank you

Hi buddy
The Satellite L300-17N does not support the Realtek RTL8187B but Intel 11a/b/g (13ch) - Golan Wlan card.
I would recommend visiting the Toshiba European WLan portal and would recommend downloading and installing the Intel WLan driver from here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads
There you could try the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 driver package!!!
I would appreciate your feedback

Satellite L300-17L is putting itself on stand by all the time without any reason

Hello Eldorado,
i am sorry that this is not a question in connection to the topic, but i have L300 - 17L laptop and from time to time it is shutting down (more specifically putting it self on stand by) without any reason.
It is not the cooler or anything else..
The battery is full, and that is happening while i am writing or working on the laptop generally!
The local service says that is nothing wrong with the laptop, i am so nervous, i cannot work , it is interrupting my work ..
PLEASE HELP ME! thank you

Hi
So what happens exactly?
Does the notebook shuts down or goes into standby mode?
You said it happens from time to time this means that it would not be easy to replicated this issue and I think the technician was not able to replicate this is it right?
What applications are running if this happens?
Did you try to restore the notebook back to factory settings using the HDD recovery or Recovery disk? Do this!
Check also if your BIOS is up to date!

Satellite L300 - After XP installation it can't find the WiFi router

After insatlling XP SP1 and insatlling many drivers all except for WLAN works. I did install the drivers and i did install Atheros for managing my connections, but It seems not to even find the wifi router.
I'm using toshiba satellite l300 pslbce.
PS! I had the laptop running on Ubuntu berfore, worked fine.

Yes, installing SP2 is very important on newer laptops since so much changed from SP1 to SP2
Here is some info found on Wiki:
SP2 added new functionality to Windows XP, including an enhanced firewall, *improved Wi-Fi support*, such as WPA encryption compatibility, with a wizard utility, a pop-up ad blocker for Internet Explorer 6, and Bluetooth support.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP#Service_Pack_2
Going from SP2 to SP3 is not a big step, but since SP3 is basically a compilation of hotfixes since SP2, you should install SP3 as well for security reasons.

Satellite L300 BIOS update problem: "That BIOS is not for your notebook PC"

I got Satellite L300 notebook and I want to update it's BIOS (current v1.50), so I've downloaded bios update v1.60-WIN and when I run extracted PS10160M.exe file - I get a message that "That BIOS is not for your notebook PC".
What I'm I doing wrong?
ps: that BIOS update was automatically suggested after registration on Toshiba website via serial number.
UPD: seems like autosuggestion fail: Manual search shows that 1.60-win bios update not suitable for Satellite L300 PSLBCE model. :-(

Did you download the BIOS for the PSLBCE model?
You cannot use the BIOS from other L300 models, for example PSLB0E.
If you installed Windows yourself using a generic Windows Disc, you will need to install the Value Added Package from the Toshiba website. The BIOS Update requires the TVAP package to detect the machine properly.

Memory upgrade on Satellite L300

I purchased a satellite L300 in august 08 in Australia. It came with a single 1Gb memory module which is now inadequate.
I obtained 2 x 2Gb modules but cannot get it to work with both fitted. Bios reports 4Gb fitted but Vista reboots the first time then blue screens. Ubuntu Linux hangs after loading HAL.
If only one module fitted it works OK and it does not matter which module is used.
Any info on this would be most appreciated.

Hi
Either the chipset is not able to handle 4GB RAM or there is a compatibility issues between both modules.
This is nothing unusual and happens very often that both modules cannot work together.
In your case I recommend testing other modules.
PS: Be sure that BIOS is up to date... if it's not up to date, then update it and then test both modules again...

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?

Satellite L300 1BD - VGA output is not working

Hello.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 1BD (Model PSLB8E). I was usinng the VGA output to connect to my LG tv. It worked fine until last week. All of a sudden the TV doesn't get reckognized by the laptop anymore. The TV says that no external device is connected. I have tried different things: starting up with the TV connected and not connected through the VGA cable, pressing the FN+F5 button, removing the battery and pressing the powerbutton, checked for the latest videodriver, removed the existing driver and installed it again...unfortunately without any result. I also tried to hook the TV up with a different VGA cable, but no result. It's not the TV, because i did try to hook the laptop up to a TFT monitor and it didn't work as well. Tested the VGA cable with my friends laptop: it works perfect.
The strange thing is: if i hook the TV up to the laptop, i can hear the laptop is making the 'new hardware detected' sound and the laptopscreen even turns black for a second, then everything appears back on the laptopscreen. If i check the graphic properties with the rightclick on my desktop, i can see that they are no set for 'clone device'. As if the laptop knows, something is connected, but just can't transfer the image to the TV screen.
The graphic adapter is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset family.
The OS is Vista Home Basic (32).
It's a shame the VGA output seems to be out of order since i watch tons of video's and movies through my laptop on the TV screen. I don't know if this could be a software or a hardware malfunction. If anyone has an idea or some clue, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Marcin.

Hi,
I would like to give my 2 cents to this post (and the answers from Toshiba):

I have exactly the same L300 19F with the same graphic adapter, only with Windows 7 Ultimate (32) and was watching DVD's through my Toshiba TFT TV-set/VGA Monitor for a couple of years as well as all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. The same as the gentleman who started this thread I checked everything there is to check: my laptop/another screen, another laptop/my screen, drivers, new cable, even installed the (original and licensed) W7 OS again etc. etc. etc. TO NO AVAIL !!!
Since this is the first time that I can't solve a technical computer problem in more then 25 years I got mad and started to think what the heck I did different over the last few weeks, and now I think I know the culprit.
One day, a few months ago, I saw a warning in my screen to flash my BIOS with a new upgrade from the Toshiba website. Having seen that message for several months I did not give it much attention because everything worked fine, and the reason given for the update was a quote "password protection update" unquote, a function I don't use anyway and that's why I didn't run that fast.
After a while I decided to flash the BIOS, just to get rid of the annoying message and now I am quite sure that it really did kill my VGA output capabilities.
So, instead of the nice "Check your Power Cord" and "Go to the Official Toshiba Dealership" hints, maybe there is some technical solution. Maybe there might even be a nice technical Toshiba person have a look into the BIOS update and what the heck the differences are with the old one.
At the very least you could offer a "downdate" of the current valid BIOS for this type, because everything used to work pretty good and, as a 25 year long time customer of Toshiba laptops, I could be entitled to a little better (quality) answer.......
My friend Marcinondrums and I still have hopes.
Thank you !!

Windows XP installation on Satellite L300 11G

Hello,
I have a problem installing windows XP on my Toshiba Satellite L300 11G.
It does not recognize the SATA HDD. SO I downloaded the files that were needed (Intel Storage....) and then I get an error: iaStor is corrupted. I am pretty new in computing so I do not know if I downloaded the right thing. Please if someone could guide me trough and give me a link to download the correct file.
And does that message come only if I fail in choosing the correct driver when asked?? Or is there something else I am doing wrong...??
Please help. I am trying to fix this for several days, and I bought my laptop a few days ago and I need it for business. I would appreciate your help a lot.
Thanks.

Come on buddy... Please dont mix everything!!!
*_Regarding the Toshiba Vista Recovery CD:_*
If you want to create the Toshiba Vista Recovery DVD and want to burn the preinstalled Toshiba image on a DVD then use the Recovery Disc Creator tool.
And YES, the user manual contains the info how to do this because Ive checked it and found the needed info!!!
*_Regarding the new XP installation_*
If you want to install the XP OS on this notebook, then you have to include the SATA driver like described by Gipsyman above!!!
The XP OS installation will format the HDD or partition and will erase the installed operating system.
Therefore it would be advisable and recommended to create the Toshiba recovery DVD firstly before installing the XP.
I think this should be clear.

Is graphic card upgrade on Satellite L300-21W possible?

Hi!
I`m thinking to buy Toshiba Satellite L300-21W but i wat to play some games on it like Cod2 but I think that her serial graphic card is weak so my question is:
" CAN I REPLACE GRAPHIC CARD WITH BETTER ONE OR NOT( and with which one if you know)!?!?!??!"
Thank you!

As far as I know graphic card on mobile computers cannot be upgraded. This is also described in follow document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
So if you want to play different games with your notebook pick up info about models with better graphic cards.
I can recommend you to check Satellite A300/A350 notebook models.
Talk with your local dealer.

Memory upgrade problem on Satellite L300

My laptop is a Satellite L300 PSLB8A-047004. I purchased a kit of 2 x 2GB modules and inserted carefully following the instructions (they clicked into place). On restart the Power light was lit, the fan was on but no further activity, and the display remained black, no disk activity. Originally there was 1-off 1GB PC2-6400S module installed and Ive checked that the new ones are PC2-6400S. I took them out and put them back in but same result. When I put the original module back in it worked fine.
I then tried just one of the new modules in place of the original one but no luck so the original module is now back in and all seems OK.
Any suggestions please? If there was module damage from being handled then the original 1GB module should also be damaged as its the one thats been handled the most.
Kev.

This is typical behaviour by compatibility problems. Which modules you have, I mean who is manufacturer?
I recommend you to use high quality products from Kingston or Toshiba. For more info about compatible modules for your notebook visit http://www.kingston.com/worldwide/default.asp
