Satellite L300-29X - How to connect to television?

I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-29X with a mini-VGA output and would like to connect it to my television, preferably through the DVI-I dual analogue/digital input, but cannot find a cable that will do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I live in the UK and as such, only have access to UK based retailers and do not want to pay the exorbitant costs of importing from overseas.
If all else fails, I could connect through the SCART input on my TV, but again, could anyone point me in the right direction of a cable that could do this?
Cheers in advance for any help.

I've also just noticed my TV has a 9-pin RS232 input as well if that is any help?

OK, I think I know what I need now, obviously I've been getting myself confused somewhere.
I must have read something somewhere about mini-VGA ports and got my wires crossed, so to speak. I tried a VGA cable from an old monitor and it fits nicely, it's just that my laptop doesn't have the bits for the screws to go into, so I presume that is the only difference that makes it "mini".
Anyway, thanks for all the help guys and hopefully once I can locate the correct cable and adapter, I'll be able to watch my new star trek film boxset on a decent size screen! Good Times! :-D

Satellite L300-19U - How can I reinstall Vista without working DVD drive?

Hello
I have a big problem with my notebook Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.
I did installed 1month ago Windows XP on it and now is my DVD-ROM broken, it didn't read DVD just CD's. So I can't use my Vista recovery DVD to reinstall Vista. Did anyone had the same problem?
I heard there is a partition (hiden) where the recovery is on it. How I can find this partition? And if I find her, can I boot directly from the partition to recover Vista? If no,is there a other chance to recover it?
Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

Hi!
The hidden partition that you mean is a Windows Vista feature but you cant restore Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.
Restoring Vista without recovery disk is only possible if Vista is still installed on it. Then you can go in the advanced boot menu and select repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
But as I said only possible with installed Vista.
Just one question: Why do you dont go to an authorized service provider? If your notebook is still under warranty you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should only take few days and then you are able to install Vista again! :)

Re: Satellite L300-18D - How can I get a Vista Restore disk?

Hi everyone
My laptop (Satellite L300-18D) was seriously infected by viruses, everything corrupted. I need to resinstall Vista but don't have the restore disk. After searching around I managd to download a restore disk from some site, but when I used this disk, it gave me an error code which meant the product key was wrong. I used the product key from the bottom of the laptop (I trust this is an OEM). So I guess I need a restore disk that will work with my OEM product key.
How can I get this restore disk that will work with my OEM licence?
Also, I tried to install XP on my laptop, but it kept giving me a message saying it could not detect the hard disk, there is nothing wrong with the hard disk, I have tested it on another laptop. Is there any sort of barrier o installing XP on this laptop which came with Vista originally. Is there a security meassure somewhere that stoped me from installing XP?
Thanks in advance

Hi
The original Toshiba recovery disk can be purchased here:

Its not expensive as far as I know its about 30Euros

Satellite L300-110 - How to recover without loosing data on the HDD?

Hello all
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-110
The question is how can I recover my laptop with the recovery DVD without lose any data located in the hard disk drive?

Hello
A recovery installation from the recovery disk without loosing data on the HDD isnt possible. If you use the Toshiba recovery disk the whole HDD will be formatted so you must backup the data first.
The only way I know is to use the HDD recovery function in the advanced boot menu. The HDD recovery function formats only the first partition of the notebook and all data that you have stored on the second partition are available after recovery.

Satellite A205: Dynadock - How to connect to LCD TV with HDMI to DVI cable

I recently purchased this product and had a problem when connecting it to my LCD TV.
I used a HDMI to DVI cable to connect it to the TV. Only a small portion of the full display shows on the TV.
I have adjusted all setting on the laptop (Satellite A205) but it only adjusts the laptop screen, not the TV.
I also used the adaptor to VGA, plugged it into the computer input on TV, same effect. I can use VGA output on side of laptop to TV ok.
Any ideas on how to adjust dynadock output settings?

First of all it would be interesting to know what dynadock you have exactly; one with DVI port or one with VGA port?
>I have adjusted all setting on the laptop (Satellite A205) but it only adjusts the laptop screen, not the TV.
You should know that the dynadock has a own built-in graphics controller and video drivers to control the video stream.
Therefore you should change the settings directly in the dynadock settings and not on the laptop!!!

Satellite L300-19J - How can I change the warranty registration details?

I live in Romania and I bought my Toshiba L300-19J from Romania on the 9th of February.
I have registered my Standard Warranty upon installing Windows. When trying to also register the International Warranty Extension, I noticed that there are some problems with my registration.
1. I have received a registration ticket via e-mail. If I click the link in that e-mail for registering the warranty extension, I am redirected to the UK Toshiba site, instead of Romanian one. The real problem is not the language, but the fact that the notebook model that I have is produced exclusively for Romania, so it is not available for selection in the drop-down menu available on the UK site.
2. If i visit www.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails and enter the serial number of my laptop, it shows that it is registered, but the purchase date is shown as 2008-10-29 (which is one day after the production date). I have no idea why it shows like this and what this means, nor do I know if there is a way to change that information.
3. If I try to use the Romanian Toshiba website for warranty registration, it says that my serial number is already registered.
Now the question: is there any way for me to see / edit the registration details? The confirmation e-mail I got contains very few information about the registration.
Thank you.

Hello
As far as I know you cannot edit registrations data. What you can do it to contact Toshiba and explain the situation.
For contact use follow mail address: [email protected]
You must contact Toshiba in your country. Contact details can be found at http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/contact_toshiba.jsp
Good luck!

Satellite L300-217 - Can't connect to WLAN

I can see the SKY network I am trying to connect to (5 bars). _I cannot connect_ (despite having the network encryption key).The error message is "user timed out" (it hardly thinks about it when I press connect)
I have an old WPA wireless network connection through Virgin which I CANNOT remove. I hit remove and it disappears for a few seconds then comes back. SKY seem to think this is the problem
I have updated both my Realtek and Atheros wireless network adapters
Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Macius,
Thanks for your note, I only just read it. I managed to resolve the problem. I have put some detail below just in case anyone has a similar problem.
I had 2 pieces of legacy Virgin software running which I was unaware of. By pure luck, I hovered over one of them in the system tray which was "Wireless Broadband Manager". Having uninstalled them both I was then able to "connect" to my SKY broadband WLAN.
This didn't allow me to actually bring down any pages so I went to "Network Sharing Centre" > "Manage Wireless Networks" > highlighted my SKY network > "Adapter Properties" > highlighted Internet Protocol Version 4 > and changed settings to "Obtain IP address automatically and Obtain DNS automatically".
I presume the Virgin software was monopolising my broadband connection and preventing me from connecting automatically to any other network.
Thanks for the replies I really appreciate it.

Satellite L300-19Y - Can I connect it to a TV?

It's just the standard laptop package.

oldish tv, has female S-socket (4 pin), and female yellow video phono, red + white audio phonos.
What I dont know, is - laptop handbook says 15 pin output is a monitor port, so is this a VGA output with TV-out functionality?
All the cable suppliers say....
"Ensure TV-Out function from the computer or laptop to function correctly"
"Works with laptops and desktops with VGA cards that have a TV-Out function through the VGA connector."

Satellite 1135-S1553 without S-Video Out Port - How to connect TV

I have a laptop Satellite 1135-S1553, how to connect it to TV without having S-Video Out Port in my laptop?

Are you 100% sure that your notebook doesnt support the s-video OUT port?
According to [this page |http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_tourView.jsp?moid=434998&rpn=PS113U&ct=PT&so id=660059] the notebook Sat 1153-S1553 supports this port at the back side.

How to connect my Satellite L300 to the TV?

Hi...
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-2C4 and wish to connect it to my Toshiba 32HV10E plazma
The tv have a hdmi input, so I bought VGA adaptor and connect it to the computer
Unfortunately it doesnt work.
The computer can recognise the tv but not the same with the plazma
Anyone?

I agree with Tom.
Problem is that your notebook has external monitor port only and can send video signal only. Many TVs have such port but I dont know if this plazma TV has such port too.
As Tom already wrote try with VGA adapter.
> The computer can recognise the tv but not the same with the plazma
To be honest this sentence is not so clear to me.

Hi
Please check in your graphic card settings if the option: Full Screen (no border) has been chosen.
This can be found in Aspect Ration Options.
Ive got a U400 with Intel graphic chip and this option is available there.
Furthermore some notebooks support an additional BIOS option where the screen could be set to full screen (no borders)

Re: How to connect camcorder to my Satellite L300-1AD?

Hi everyone
I hope someone out there can help me - my problem is driving me mad!!
I have a Satellite L300 1AD(?) laptop and I am trying to connect my camcorder to it so that I can watch and edit my holiday videos. Apparently I can't use a USB cable and need an "i link" cable or firewire cable. However, I can't find where to connect it onto the PC. Also there are so many different "pin" variations.
Am I able to do this at all? I know I am female but I consider myself to be quite good usually at things like this. If you need anymore info please let me know.
Please help - I am getting desperate?? I want to see the koalas and kangaroos in Oz!!
Thanks in anticipation

Hello
Your notebook model is not known to me but if your notebook doesnt have firewire port (i-LINK) you must use expresscard solution.
It is something like cards shown on http://www.synchrotech.com/products-expc/expresscard-firewire_00.html
Talk with your local dealer. Explain exactly what you want to do and I hope he can helps you.
