Satellite L300 does not have sound and modem is also not working

I have this Toshiba Satellite L300 (PSLB8A--1F004) an Australian model which was working perfectly well until I changed the harddrive after it developed bad sectors.
I have installed Win Vista Business.
I have all the drivers (TOSAPINS folder) that came with the original harddrive but when I did installed the drivers by following the correct order. i.e chipset, display, common modules, audio, modem and all other drivers.
There is still a little red x on the taskbar saying " No audio output device is installed" and also I noticed that the modem is not listed under device manager. I have also tried replacing a working modem card from a same model laptop but it is still not showing any signs of picking up the modem as well as sound driver.
I made attemp to download drivers from mytoshiba.com.au under the exact model and OS and installed but to no avail the problem is still there.
No sign of modem picked up and the little red x on taskbar still says " No audio output device is installed" and on device manager its not showing the audio or modem. there is also nothing in yellow exlamation marks and also I've tried to view hidden devices but still there is no sign.
Is there any thing else that I've missed out that I can try again?

No I dont have the vista service pack and the internet speed at my end is too slow to download it.
So I have tried installing windows 7 but the problem still remains.
I have now removed win7 and have installed WIndows XP SP3 but there is still no sign of audio so Im stuck with win XP SP3 and trying to find solutions now.
I think the problem may have been caused when I upgrade the bios...and Im still looking for ways to downgrade the bios to its original bios to confirm this.

  • Satellite L300 - Wireless not working at all

    Hi everyone,
    Im new here and my name is Jodie. My husband and I bought new laptops a couple of weeks ago, the Satellite L300.
    On my husbands one the wireless just stopped working, the switch is on but no light is on. I've tried FN and F8 is says the wireless is not working. I then checked in the device manager under netwrok adapters to see if it said the same as mine and the Wireless Adapter has vanished? It's the Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Netwrok Adapter.
    Can anyone help? Can't bellieve this has happened and they are only 2 weeks old :(
    Thanks Guys
    Jodie

    >Can't bellieve this has happened and they are only 2 weeks old
    I understand what you mean but if you check this forum and all questions here your problem is not so complicated. You cannot even imagine which problems people have with notebooks. Sometimes I ask myself what people do with notebooks. :)
    Back to your problem: Jodie if there is no way to get WLAN to work I recommend you to use most radical but most effective way to test WLAN functionality install OS again using HDD recovery image. After doing this you will have factory state and all hardware components should be installed properly.
    Enable WLAN using WLAN switch, be sure WLAN is enabled with FN+F8 and scan the area.
    It must work.

  • Does iMovie have Sound and Video Effects?

    Before i begin filming my college film i wanted to ask and see if imovie has sound and video effects. what i mean is like, say in the film a gun is shot, well does imovie have a shot going off sound? are there sound effects? or am i asking in the wrong place and see if garageband has these?
    also, video effects? i know imovie has like sepia and black and white tones among others but can i add other types of effects? if so, what kinds?
    thanks!

    you're looking for specific effects for your specific needs.. why not launching iM on your MacBook.. and look for your own..???
    BEFORE doing a "serious" project, I would allway do some test/dummy projects, just to get comfortable with some software ...
    plus:
    the two additional audio tracks allow easiely to place small audio snippets, downloaded from anywhere in the web to your movie.. if you need explosions, gunshots, lightsabres, whatever, the iNet is full of sources...
    plus:
    you can teach iM lots of new tricks by installing/purchasing 3rd party plug-ins, if you need very special effects , iM does not support out-of-the-box.

  • Toshiba DVD Player on Satellite U300 does not work

    I have a new Sat U300 and the Toshiba DVD player refuses to work a, the message is that a module is missing.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    wheres the problem. Uninstall the current installed version and reinstall the Toshiba HD-DVD player. It would be the best if you look at the [Toshiba Driver Download Site|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp] for updates of this program.
    If this does not help, backup all your files and perform a full system recovery, which should really help.
    Otherwise, give some feedback here.
    bye

  • FN+F8 on my Satellite L505 does not work, I can't enable WLAN card

    I'm enjoying my notebook until yesteday, suddenly it can't conntect to wifi, when i check "manage wireless network" it says "currently not enabled.
    The only way i know to enable it is to press FN + F8 keys to turn my wireless on...but whenever i press FN the f8 key does not appear on the screen...please help!

    All Programs -> Toshiba -> Flashcards -> TfcConf -> and run TfcConf
    That program will have an option that will say something like "Enable Mouse" (I don't have it in English but you will find out) and depending on the time you put flashcards will appear if you put the mouse on them

  • CD/DVD drive of Satellite A30 does not work properly

    I have a satellite A30 - 921, but for some reason the cd/dvd has stopped working. In Drivers folder it says "driver corrupt/missing. (Error code 39). It will not roll-back or update either. Do i need to download the driver ( it is Toshiba dvd-rom SD-R6112) again & if so how/where? I cant use the recovery or installation disc as it wont read the drive. Any ideas pls.

    So, you want to tell that your CD/DVD-drive is defective and you cannot read from it nor recover your system.
    To download drivers you should take a look here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Otherwise I suggest you to bring your machine to an authorized service partner for a hardwarecheckup. If your drive is really defective then it should be replaced.
    If you need some help to find a service partner, then click on this link to find the nearest available ASP in your country:

  • Wifi adapter of Satellite M30 does not work anymore

    During these last couple of days the wifi adapter in my Satellite M30 have had a way of dying once a day.
    The first time I still had a light and I could see when I turned it on and off. When that didn't help to get it going again, I decided to reboot and the wifi died completely.
    Later, when I did a scan for hardware changes in the Device Manager, the adapter popped back up in the list of devices again and worked just fine.
    At least up until today. A couple of hours ago it died again for no obvious reason and now I simply cannot get it back at all.
    I might mention that yesterday the light didn't come back on after I did that scan for hardware changes and got it to work again.
    When I tried to update the drivers it keep telling me that the drivers are already up to date and now I don't know what to do.
    Is this a hardware problem and what can I do about it?
    This laptop was 4 years and well used just a few days ago btw, but it never been taken apart and I've never had to send it in for service.
    I would appreciate any help I can get.
    Christa

    Hi there,
    thats definetly a hardware problem and it can only be resolved by exchanging the wireless LAN card. You can check if it works under linux (just download some live-CD e.g. knoppix, and let the OS recognise the wifi card - if it wont recognise then its definetly broken).
    You could also contact an Authorized Service Provider and ask them for a hardware checkup but I guess they will charge you for that.
    You have the choice... :)

  • Satellite A100 does not work anymore

    Hi,
    I bought a broken laptop and when I boot it up, I get very little:
    all i get is 2 blue lights and a couple of red ones above the keyboars for around 1 tenth of a second.
    I was thinking of resetting the bios.
    I disassembled it and could not feel any heat going to processor but the board must work as the wireless card switch lights up along with start key but no fans or nothing else.
    please help

    First of all, I wonder why you bought a broken machine when youre not able to fix it.
    If youre not a technician then sell the machine and buy a working one because no one here would exactly could tell you what to do or how to fix it.
    The only posts would be like: "send the machine to an service partner" or "change the mainboard" or "sell the machine" , "throw the machine into trash"
    I would assume that the mainboard is defective and needs to be replaced. I already replaced some mainboards on toshibas and its not that easy like some people think. You need some experience and often its not only the mainboard which is faulty, sometimes there is more then you assume.
    I hope you get it fixed. Good luck.

  • Re: TouchPad on Satellite L30 does not work anymore

    Yesterday when I connected my Notebook L30 to a projector , the windows hanged and after that the Pointing Device on the Touch Pad isnt working, I tried to install Synaptics also but no gain from it.
    Please Help me !

    Hi there,
    did you already tried the key combination FN-F9?? This key combination reactivates the touchpad in case of deactivation.
    Otherwise, backup all you important data and recover your machine since it would be the last solution to make the touchpad working again.

  • I have no sound for games in my iPad. I have tried the reset but it does not work. The speakers work as I have sound for music and videos.

    I have no sound for games in my iPad. I have tried the reset but it does not work. The speakers work as I have sound for music and videos.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

    iPhone: Can’t hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1630
    http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

  • When I open firefox before connecting (via 56k modem) or if I leave a previous section open, disconnect and then reconnect, firfox does not work, it remains offline, even though internet is connected. I have to close firefox and reopen

    Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

    I have a 2011 tahoe.  My bluetooth functioned properly until I updated my iPhone.  Now the iPhone connects to the Tahoe but when I try to call a number it does not work.  Either it cals the number and has no outgoing or incoming sound or it just says it iis unable to complete the call.

    I would check with the Auto dealer where the vehicle was purchased to check and see when the bluetooth software was last updated on your vehicle. With the vehicle being a 2011 and if the software has not been updated since the dropping of IOS 7 then obviously there will be software incompatibilities.
    Good luck.

  • Satellite L300 (PSLB8C-0H901X) does not work

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB8C-0H901X, does not work, no power, no POST, nothing, Get power and charge lamp when pluged in nothing else, any known issues? Any fixes, Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hmm sounds like a serious hardware issue.
    If you are a lucky man the issue could be related to RAM module.
    The RAM modules can be replaced easily. The memory bay is placed at the bottom of the unit secured by one screw.
    But the question is if its really related to RAM.
    Well, you will know this if you would replace/check this
    Otherwise I recommend asking an professional notebook technician for a help

    I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips.

    The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

  • My ringer does not work on my phone (not sure what happened, didn't smash it, nor did it fall to the ground), and I have been on silent/vibrate mode for a few months now. Unfortunately I am unable to listen to music without headphones, or get on speaker.

    I can hear sounds when I plug in to headphones or on bluetooth (streaming audio from my car).
    Can anyone help?
    I have the iphone 4s.
    Thank you!

    Hey Chris,
    Unfortunately the ringer does not work - which causes the speaker to not work when it's switched on to ring mode, unless I'm on bluetooth. It has recently stopped working and I've had this phone for 2 years.
