Satellite L300-1AQ - Charger from L450-11V compatible?

I have a Satellite L300-1AQ laptop supplied with a PA3468E-1AC3 charger. I have recently bought a L450-11V laptop supplied with a PA3715E-1AC3 charger.
Does anyone know what the differences are between these chargers as they both have the same output voltage and current ratings, and, will they damage my laptops if swapped?

Hi panetony,
If both chargers have the same output voltage and ampere you can use it, of course.
Only the exact voltage is important but an higher ampere is no problem.

Hi
Did you try to reinstall the Toshiba BT stack?
Usually this should help to get rid of this error message.
Here you can download the newest BT stack:

Remove firstly the old BT software from the system and after new reboot install the BT downloaded from the Toshiba BT page.

Hi
Here once again the link posted by Paolo:
+*Windows 7 upgrade: Step-by-step Upgrade Guide*+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9902P60000R01.htm
You need two disks:
- Toshiba Windows 7 Driver and Software Upgrade disc
- Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade CD
Here the whole procedure:
+Upgrade Guide with Toshiba Win7 Driver Upgrade DVD and Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade+
1. Toshiba recommends a clean installation of Microsoft Windows Vista.
Please store all your Data to an external HDD or other storage Media and recover your notebook.
2. After this, the drivers for the upgrade can be installed. Please insert the Toshiba Windows 7 Driver and Software Upgrade disc.
This disc contains a tool which automatically uninstalls all spuriously moduls and afterwards it installs all necessary drivers for Windows 7.
While this process is running, the computer may reboot sometimes.
If any messages appear on the screen, please follow them and take actions if needed.
3. If the driver installation is completed, please insert the Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade CD and start the Upgrade.

Satellite L300-1AQ - Slow Boot Time

I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago. It takes over 3 minutes to boot to complete desktop which I think is very poor. A friend has one non-Toshiba which has a lower spec and this takes a minute. My Son's Toshiba (again lower spec) takes 1.5 minutes. I already exchanged this laptop but the replacement is just as bad - even from new without installing any extra software. I contacted helpdesk but they were not much help telling me to use MSCONFIG and Google which apps could be disabled - I tried a few but it made no difference. Most of the time is spent with a 'please wait' screen showing
In my opinion a core 2 processor (T5800) with 2GB RAM should not take this long. If I can't get any help from Toshiba or on here then I will be getting a refund on this machine - much as I otherwise like it - as 3 minutes to ready is completely unacceptable especially when lower spec machines are so much quicker.

Hi,
I registered today to this forum only to answer this topic, because I think I have the right answer and I was so desperate because of the same problem.
As a gift to myself for New Year I bought Toshiba Satellite L300-1AM (4GB RAM, Dual-core T2300 processor at 2GHz, 250 GB HDD).
Imagine my frustration when I found, after installing Windows XP with programs I need, that:
- boot-up time was 3min 20sec (I measured this time from the moment when I press power button till the hourglass mouse pointer goes back to arrow on desktop)
- HDD performance was pretty bad (copying from disk to disk was 2-3 slower than on my old laptop, opening folder with many files in it took ages)
- backup software PowerQuest Drive Image needed 7 hours to make a backup image of C partition.
I tried every advice that I found (msconfig tweaks, disabling services, uninstalling antivirus etc) but only managed to speed up boot up for 2-3 seconds.
In desperation I tried new BIOS update from Toshiba support site:
03/02/09 BIOS Update Toshiba OS independent 1.60-WIN World Wide
I was a little bit afraid to do this, since I never flashed a BIOS before, but was so furious with my new laptop misbehaving, that I took the chance.
I still can not figure out what BIOS upgrade has to do with boot-up speed and HDD performance, but it definitely did the miracle in my case!
Boot-up time is now 35 sec (unbelievable!!!) and HDD benchmark performance more than doubled. PowerQuest now needs only 20 min to make image of C partition.
My BIOS version before the BIOS upgrade was 1.40. Upgrade is really easy and painless, just starting .exe file directly from Windows XP.
Please let me know if this helps in your case.
Best regards,
Vladan

Satellite L300-1AQ - Password Utility and Firmware installation issue

Hi
I have recently reinstalled Vista after crash of the first and then installation of linux.
Now I have installed most of the Toshiba services packages back on my notebook Sat L300 1AQ but the firmware and password utilities are not getting installed back.
Firmware shows error message of available target is not available.
Password utility shows the serial is not correct.
don't understand why these error messages come and how can I deal with this.
Thanks
Anees

Hi
Firmware update should be done only if you would notice some problems with the ODD (CD/DVD drive)
Furthermore the notebook has been equipped with different drives and the firmware published on the Toshiba page seems to be designed only for some certain ODDs.
So if the notebook uses other ODD then the firmware update would be not supported.
Check More info on the driver page to get some details about the firmware update and what ODDs are supported!
Im not quite sure why the Supervisor Password Utility couldnt be installed but I think the message: wrong serial will appear only if you tried to install a tool which was not designed for this notebook model or for the OS.
The L300-1AQ seems to belong to the PSLB8E series and you should ensure that you have chosen the right model on the driver page.
PS: be sure that VAP has been installed firstly!

Satellite L300-1AQ - Connection to TV using 3RCA Component cable

Just got the above cable from EBAY - it has the 15 pin 'D' connector which fits the computer external monitor socket and on the other end 2 'phono' type plugs (red, green and blue).
Problem is I can't get it to work. My medion 32" LCD has the coloured inputs and I have tried all the external input options but no luck. The cable supplier says the laptop should support "component video out" but nowhere can I find any reference to this in my laptop literature.
Help please!
All that happens when I connect the laptop to TV is the laptop display changes resolution the the TV says "Not Support". Yes I tried all the F5 output options too.

Yes it has - 3 colour phono type sockets (red green and blue). This was used by my son's xbox. I tried the monitor input (15 pin 'D' connector) this works but whatever setting and resolution I try the picture is always stretched to fit the wide screen and it looks strange. I am unable to find any setting on the tv or laptop that fixes this

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.

TV connection to Satellite L300

Is it possible to connect a CRT TV to the Satellite L300 using lead from the external display connection to the TV AV3 Video socket (yellow)? I am not having much success. What settings do I need ? I am using a Panasonic Quintrix 100Mhz TV and I am told by the manufacturer that it should work.

Satallite Pro L300-1AQ wont charge battery while laptop is in use

I have a Toshiba SP L300-1AQ.
In the last month we have started having problems with it shutting down unexpectedly, even when on mains power.
This morning I used it for about half an hour. When I started the battery level was 39% full, so I plugged it into the mains. The mains light on the front of the laptop came on and the task bar icon in Windows showed that it was plugged in and charging (battery light was orange).
After half an hour I checked the battery level and it was down to 16%. I turned down the brightness of the screen to try to reduce power usage, but within a minute the battery level was down to 15%. The task bar icon and power light both still showing mains power. The power adapter was cold to the touch. I would have expected it to be warm. It seems to me the power adapter is not providing enough power to run the laptop and charge the battery. If the laptop is in sleep mode the battery will charge.
Do we need a new power adapter?
Thanks
Nigel

Hi
Its really hard to say what the reason is but first of all I think its hardware issue and not software related.
Maybe the mainboard doesnt charge the battery problem anymore or the AC/DC adaptor is faulty. So can you test another AC/DC adaptor from a friend for example? This would be interesting to know because if another AC/DC adaptor works it seems to be a problem of the mainboard.
I dont have Satellite Pro L300, I have only Satellite L300 but it works really good and I cant notice a problem with charging the battery. Its all ok as yet :)

WLAN driver for Satellite L300-11V

Have just bought a Satellite L300-11V from Currys and cant connect it to wireless in House.
My old laptop does it perfectly. I just searched in Google and it appears Toshiba have been shipping laptops without the appropriate drivers installed.
Can someone help me? I dont understand drivers and am doing to take this back to currys for a refund and buy another brand if this cant be fixed quickly.
Toshiba technical helpline is 1.50 a minute and I cant afford to pay when the fault is one of Toshibas own making. Would rather take it back for full returned is there anything I can do to activate the wireless driver?
Any help greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi
If Im not completely mistaken the notebook has been equiuped with the Realtek WLan card and therefore you should download and reinstall the Realtek WLan driver from the Toshiba page!
The L300-11V belongs to the PSLB0E series.
Choose it and download the driver from the driver page!

Satellite L300 - Can I purchase Windows 7 from Microsoft

My Satellite L300 came with Vista Home Premium. I formatted the drive and installed Windows XP to enable me to run a software not compatible with Vista.
Now Windows wants me to activate the OS.
I now want to purchase Windows 7 from Microsoft.
Will I be able to install Windows 7? or will the Vista product key tied to the system reject the installation?

> Will I be able to install Windows 7?
Definitely. Ive installed Win7 32bit on friends L300 and it works perfectly. Much better than Vista.
For Win7 activation you need valid product key that you can get from Microsoft. Vista key placed at the sticker will not help you at all.

Satellite L300 - Charger causes freezing

I have Satellite L300 with Windows 7 64bit running. Computer works great without charger. Charger charges battery ok with system shut down. Charger charges battery ok when running in safe mode.
OS reinstalled and drivers updated that can be when laptop is running on battery.
If startup with charger plugged in will boot all the way up to end of welcome screen then freezes. What exactly changes at this point? Running on battery is fine untill charger is plugged in then freezes immediately. Laptop cannot or willnot run without battery on charger--freezes at welcome. Battery charger not problem as identical results with new identical charger.
Toshiba Techn suggested reinstall OS and drivers -DONE- no difference nothing that some changes may not be done in safe mode or without charger attatched. In reading forums searching for solutions I note that many suffer this problem with no definitive solution coming to hand. Toshiba seem extremely shy to attack this problem in general and my experience with them on phone seemed to have my mate ducking and diving.
To me the issue seems to be in the power distribution (hardware or software) but I have reached a stage someone with superior knowledge has to take my hand to guide me. Can anyone assist.

Hi buddy,
I assume you are using an original Toshiba AC/DC adapter, right? Or do you use a 3rd party charger?
I think only Toshiba knows what at this point where notebook freezes will be accessed...
Have you reinstalled Windows from Toshiba recovery disk or is it your own Windows 7 installation?
If yes I would try installing Windows from Toshiba recovery disk to make sure the problem is not software or driver related. Toshiba recovery disk contains an image of factory settings with all drivers and tools.
This means if the same error occurs after recovery installation its a hardware malfunction :(

Satellite L300 - Upgrade from Vista Home Basic to Home Premium issues

Hi all,
I just recently got a Satellite L300 with an OEM version of Vista Home Basic.
I have a copy of Windows Vista: Home Premium (upgrade) disc and decided to use it on the laptop.
I put the disc in, and followed the steps however the upgrade option is blanked out... This is if I use the product key provided with the disc or not.
The laptop came with Service Pack 1 already installed and the disc I own was released into the shops before Service Pack 1.
My main question really is how can I get my disc to upgrade my version of Vista. I have tried searching Google, this website, Microsoft's website and I keep getting the same answer.
Basically go through options and do anytime upgrade. All of these are for me to buy from Microsoft which would be kind of pointless as I already have a copy.
I did read something at on a site that stated my disc would have to have the service pack on the disk and I seen a website with some kind of disc editing program for Vista but im not too keen on using it and the 'how to' wasn't very easy to understand.
Also, im not too keen on calling either Toshiba or Microsoft on premium rate numbers for help with something I have already bought and paid for and should be as simple as a few steps.
Anyway hope someone can help because I would really like to upgrade.

Hello
I understand you and it is really annoying but what to do now? the fact is that Toshiba has offered this notebook with certain Vista version. This version must be offered with best and latest available Microsoft security updates. Due to this Toshiba offers it with latest SP1 option.
So now you try to install update offered long time ago and probably offered before SP1 was on the market. I understand your point of view but, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with Toshiba now, and you should try to find solution with Microsoft. For example you can also pick up info from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930733
Clean Vista Home Premium can be installed without any problems. All drivers, tools and utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba support & download page.

Satellite L300-1DN: battery does not charge

Hi,
i bought a Toshiba Satellite L300-1DN less than a week ago and its worked fantastically.
This morning i was using it, battery go low so i plugged it in to charge, which naturally when fine and charged up.
Went out in the afternoon, came home and started using it again.
When the battery got low i plugged it in and about 10 mins later realised it was still getting very very low and did not display it to be plugged in!
I figured the wire had came out the adapter as it does, but it hadn't.
Ive tried it now in 3 different plug sockets with the laptop on and off but it will not charge!
Is it a charger problem or laptop problem?
Thanks :D

Hi
Can you start the notebook with AC/DC adaptor only?
If yes it seems to be a problem of your notebook (maybe the mainboard) because the AC/DC adaptor works properly (you can start the notebook with AC/DC adaptor only).
So you should contact the nearest authorized service provider. They can check the notebook and exchange the mainboard if its necessary.

Satellite L300 does't run after BIOS update from V2.10 to V2.20

Hi
I just installed BIOS V2.20 over the Bios V2.10 for my Toshi Satellite L300 over Windows XP.
Afterwerwards the Machine starts and shows just the XP starting window and the restart that I have the options save restart or normal restatr.
Nothing runs any more? Even starting from Windows-CD has no effect.
Who can help?

Thanks for you suggestions, but F2 did not help.
I performed the Bios update because on the website of Toshiba, there was written, hat the update increases function of the system.
I just called the update service. They mentioned I should reinstall Win XP, because my Computer starts, but Windows is not starting.
