Satellite P300-1FN TV - HDMI stopped working...

Dear Anybody who knows more than me about this, so around 6billion people...
I recetly purchased both a Toshiba 32'' plasma TV (regza i think) and Toshiba Satellite P300-1FN.
I also purchased a HDMI cable and have been watching filthy movies from my laptop on my phat 32'' TV for a couple of months now. Lovely stuff.
After around 1 month, the HDMI port 1 stopped working. It just wouldn't pick up any signal from the computer, so i remove the cable and placed it in the HDMI port 2 on the back of the TV. Worked fine. (so i guess it's not the cable at fault) Again for about a month, now that's stopped working too...DA-DA-DA-DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM...
Before, when i plugged it into the computer, both screens would turn black for around 3 seconds while they adjust the resolution, then the same image would appear on both. Now when i plug it in, the computer screen just 'blinks' followed shortly by the message on the relative HDMI TV channel 'no video signal', if i remember correctly.
WTF??
Cheers, Allan.

Hi
Please don't be mad on me but you must understand it is user-to-user forum and if someone can help will probably write something and try to help. There is no reason for comments like the last one.
Anyway, I have good experience with HDMI and connection to the TV. I have Satellite P200D and Satellite A300, both with HDMI port. I have used both of them with my BRAVIA LCD TV and it works properly. Brothers Satellite P300-1GL doesnt made problems either.
So it is not easy to say what is wrong there but I can say that this behaviour is definitely not normal.
In my opinion you should contact nearest Toshiba service and let them check your notebook.
What else you can do? Not much, just test it eventually with some other LCD TV to see if the same happen.
Sorry for this late posting.
Lets see if someone else has some comment to this.

Satellite P300: Display Driver has stopped working using external monitor

I have a number of these Satellite P300 PSPCCA-OC201Y and recently bought external monitors for them.
Since then we seem to be getting "Display Driver has stopped working and has recovered" messages, then after about 5 of these, it crashes.
Starting with one machine, I have updated display drivers, bios was current, all to no avail.
I then did a complete system restore back to original. Has not solved the problem.
Any ideas?

hi Keven Dickenson,
as you said you restored the system and still there is no way to get things work it may be a hardware issue...
i my opinion you should consult a servicepartner to check this out...
is there any of the machines working with the external monitor at all?
if none of them is able to connect to ext. display maybe your installation has a problem or the monitor is faulty...
try it with another monitor and recover one system to factory installation....

Function Buttons dont work on my Satellite P300-1FN

Hi,
I am having problems with the Function Buttons on my Satellite P300-1FN Laptop.
I recently installed Vista SP2 and flashed the BIOS and now the buttons have stopped working and LEDs lighting them wont turn off when the Mute or LED On/Off button is pressed. I have installed the newest Value Added Package but that has not helped. I have had this problem before without SP2 or the new BIOS installed and found that going in the BIOS and resetting it to default would work but it hasn't this time.

If I am remembering well in Toshiba HWSetup tool must be one tab for this button.
Check please what options is defined there.
Try to change it.
Please post the results.

HDMI stopped working on my HD DVR yet AGAIN!

I've been a FiOS Internet customer for years now and I love it! However, it's been less than a month since I signed up for FiOS TV and I'm already repenting for it. I signed up because of the "superior" HD delivered via Fiber Optics etc. Yet from the first day, the technician warned me that the HDMI will not work because of a BUG in the motorola DVR and there is no solution for it. If it works, great, if not, sorry about your luck!
Well, day 2 and the HDMI stopped working, green screen on my 61" Panasonic LCD HDTV and all kinds of messages! FiOS TV support were lame, but they came back to replace the HD DVR. I come home to find the technician replace the box with a similar defective piece and hook up the system using component for video and composite for audio! HORRORS! The sound quality had degraded beyond recognition, and the picture quality on my large screen was noticably bad.
After many hours, and many phone calls with the tech support, I was assured that Verizon/Motorola was releasing a firmware upgrade that would fix the HDMI malfunction. I waited for April 14th, (the upgrade release date) but there was nothing different. Finally, they sent another technician with a "new and improved" box that would work! No such luck. He went on to prove that my HDMI cable that had worked flawlessly with DirecTV for 2 years, was faulty. So he replaced the HDMI cable, got the box to work and was off.
Well, 2 days later, back to square one. Green screen. HDMI integrity compromised message etc. By now I was so frustrated that I was ready to cancel the stinking "superior" HD from FiOS. More phone calls, no progress. This time round they had the nerve to tell me that my TV was defective and I should contact Panasonic to figure out why HDMI does not work! Talk about shifting blame from this faulty buggy DVR to a TV that has worked flawlessly for years with DirectTV and DVD players etc.
As I read this forum and others on the net, it seems that this issue has bugged customers since 2005! Pretty much every other DVR out there is either superior or has more hard disk space than the verizon motorola box! Has anyone else here had these issues? I've tried looking at the other threads, but the forum does not allow me to reply to those so I can't find if anyone has actually seen Verizon do anything about this defective DVR nonsense. I feel I've been cheated into paying top dollar for an obsolete piece of junk. Please help if you can. A very frustrated and sitting-on-the-fence customer!

Also, blaming Mototola for the issue is not the solution to the problem. If Verizon is using Motorola DVR's and charging it's customers for those boxes, then it's Verizon's problem. Verizon should push motorola to get their crap working. I'm not a motorola customer. I'm a FiOS TV customer. As far as I'm concerned it's Verizon that's supplying us defective DVR's and causing us heartburn over the issue. It's not our job to get mororola to fix the DVR, it's Verizon's job to do that.

Satellite P300-1FN: CD/DVD drive issue - cannot read game DVD

Hi,
My brand new Satellite P300-1FN loaded some software ok using DVD drive but now when I put any disc in it doesn't auto run but the disc seems to run up and then a pop up window informs me after going Computer -> DVD drive to get access - Burn a Disc and wants to format.

Enter Control panel > "Auto play" and define what should happen if you insert Software and games media.

HDMI stopped working - "compromised" - happened for the 2nd time

I have a Motorola set top box Model: QIP7232-P2. I have an older Sony HDTV (circa 2004) with only one HDMI input. I have 3 different things that use HDMI including the cable box. When I got the 3rd, I bought a cheap HDMI switch off ebay and hooked it up to my TV
Shortly after I got my HDMI switch my previous set top box stopped working (no HDMI video, but had audio via HDMI, and component video still worked) and Verizon support didn't know what to do so they sent me a new box.
After that I blamed the switch and decided to just swap cables by hand instead. Today I was swapping cables in and out again and the same thing happened. An error message came up that said the HDMI was compromised and I should just use component cables.
I see this thread from 2009 which seems similar: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-TV-Technical-Assistance/HDMI-stopped-working-on-my-HD-DVR-yet-AGAI...
Are people still having this problem, or is it because I have such an old TV? Do newer TVs work better?
Rebooting and resetting the box doesn't seem to get it back into a working state. Is there any way to get it back to a working state? Am I stuck using component cables unless/until I replace the box, and then back in the same pit the next time a cable gets pulled out?

1. I've used one of the HDMI switches in the past. It was highly rated on Amazon, and wasn't cheap. It still caused weird and unpredictable problems. Unless you want to spend the money for a high quality switch, I would suggest not using them. You may get lucky, but I don't trust them.
2. Turn both the TV and the source off before you remove or insert an HDMI cable. There are some who say that's not necessary. I prefer to be safe.

Cannot boot the Satellite P300-1FN - nothing happens

Hi all
I recently re-installed windows 7 on my Satellite P300-1FN and after some minor glitches it was running fine.
I stalled some drivers and updates then it prompted me to restart.
I turned it off and left it while I had lunch then tried to boot it and nothing happened.
I mean nothing, not even the light for mains power comes on. I put the battery in which I know has at least half a charge and nothing.
Changed the fuse again nothing. What is this about?
It's completely dead.
Any help appreciated.
G

>I mean nothing, not even the light for mains power comes on.
Sounds not good man
Sounds like CPU or motherboard issue because no LEDs are on.
But try this;
Disconnect Ac adaptor, remove the battery, wait some time (2-4 hours) and connect both parts again.
Check if you could power up the unit.
If this would not be possible then I would recommend contacting an professional ASP technician
Sorry but this is everything what I can suggest

Satellite 1130-Z24,system has stopped working altogether

Hi
My system has stopped working altogether, since it was dropped, only from a small distance though. When connected to AC power, the light work, so I suspect power is getting to it, and I suspect I have damaged either the motherboard or power supply, but I am hoping something simple. Has anybody any manuals showing how to dismantle the satellite 1130, or any other suggestions.
Kind Rgrds
Chris

Hello Chris
Unfortunately there is no official document how to disassemble/assemble your Satellite. In my opinion the best solution is to contact service partner in your country.
I am pretty sure that they can help you. Who knows which hardware part is damaged.
Good luck!

Satellite U300-130 - TosBtMng has stopped working after Nokia PC Suite installation

I've got the same problem too... with Toshiba Satellite U300-130.
Bluetooth had worked pretty well before I installed Nokia PC Suite for my mobile on my PC (the newest version 7.1.26.0 from website).
To be correct, at first I even managed to maintain a Bluetooth connection between PC and Nokia and ran syncronisation of contacts. I made several attempts but each time syncronisation run ended with message "PC coudn't get answer from your Nokia".
After rebooting, my PC went crazy and started issuing message "TosBtMng has stopped working" and it restarted every time I ask it to close.
Installation of new version of BT Stack (6.40) didn't fix this error.
Please help

Hi there
I answered an existing thread with the same problem, but no-one can help apparently.
Anyway,,, I can at least help you with getting rid of the looping setup. You need to rename the directory with the Toshiba bluetooth stack.
I also have Nokia syncing and it worked fine until recently. - I have to say I think the problem relates to a Windows auto upgrade.
How to solve this is a different matter. At this moment I have given up. The Toshiba bluetooth stack disabled.

Macbook Air (mid 2012) Thunderbolt to HDMI Stopped working

Hey Guys,
I have searched this issue and have found several threads some 50+ pages long but I could not find a soluition. I currently have a macbook air 13" mid 2012 model.
Problem: I was using a thunderbolt to HDMI cable to watch movies on my SONY Bravia tv and it was working fine one day and after I updated my software to mac OS X 10.7.5 it stopped working. All i get on my TV is "no signal" and the screen on my MBA starts to flash blue every now and then.
I took it into the genius bar and they plugged it in to their system and it seemed to work, so the guy said to get a new cord.
I ordered a new cord and tried it at home and its still not working. After searching the forums I see that alot of others seem to be having the same issues and I am pretty sure its related to a software issue seen in the thread below.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3196192?start=75&tstart=0
Anyone have a similar issue and found a fix??

A new Mac is in warranty for 1 year from the date of purchase. Why not use it?
You may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.
All hardware related issues should be brought to the attention of Apple.

Satellite Pro L500 - Webcam has stopped working

The built-in Web Camera on my Satellite Pro L500 has stopped working with the following message:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Toshiba\Toshiba Web Camera Application\TWebCamera.exe
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
The Event log points to microsoft.vc80.openMP.......
Could someone please tell me how to fix the web Camera. I very rarely use it so I do not know exactly when it stopped working.
Thanks.

Thanks to TwoLags & PauPau.
Yes, I did think @ re-installing the driver but wanted to see what others think about it as I am quite new to Toshiba and was not sure if I could selectively install applications from recovery DVDs.
Removing the old driver and re-installing the one downloaded from TOSH has solved the problem During the re-install, I noticed it re-install MS Visual C++2005 redistributable. THIS IS THE culprit. This litttle bit of software comes bundled with many apps and I guess this was got installed with one of the new apps that I installed recently and must have messed up the original settings.
Thank you all, thw WebCam is back in action.

Satellite Pro L300-EZ1004X - TouchPad stopped working, BIOS update does not help

I have a Satellite Pro L300-EZ1004X laptop. Few days ago TouchPad stopped working. This is not a Fn + F9 issue.
In Device Manager it looks like hidden device and has (!) on it. Re-installing Synaptics drivers, updating them, removing the device in Safe Mode - nothing works. (TouchPad did not work in Safe Mode). One of the forums mentioned BIOS update. For some strange reason the latest BIOS for this specific laptop is from 2008 (ver. 1.5). Other L300 laptops have option to update BIOS to ver. 2.20 (2010) but not mine! I tried to load it (ver. 2.20)from Windows and from boot disk without success. I installed BIOS ver. 1.5. After reboot - keyboard stop working! And TouchPad ... still dead and still appears as hidden device. Using external mouse I restarted the laptop and get into the BIOS settings. In Advanced Settings disabled TouchPad completely. KEYBOARD START WORKING IN WINDOWS!!!
Any suggestions on how to make this TouchPad to work? Or how to get newer BIOS for this Laptop?
Thank you in advance!

Sounds like it has died, you can purchase a new one from a parts supplier and pay someone to install it or if you are any good with such things you can try to do it yourself. I suggest just sticking with the external mouse.

Satellite L500-13W - FN Key Stop Working

Hello Everyone
I have a problem, suddenly, without doing anything, my *FN keys stop working*. First the luminosity adjustment still worked without appearing the bar on the top of the screen, but when I reboot the computer not even that works, nothing related with the FN key works.
My biggest problem is that my computer is a Toshiba Satellite L500-13W and *i can only activate Wireless pressing FN+F8*. I can't stay with this problem much more. I already looked in this forum and in other sites but none of the solutions have solved my problem.
I hope you can help me.
Thanks in Advance.

Oh I forgot to say, I am using Windows Vista 32 bit

Hi
> I don't understand why so many people have this problem
I cant imagine that many people have this problem. To be honest I have two notebooks, Satellite A300 and Qosmio F50. On both notebooks I installed Windows 7 and after installing VAP and Flash Cards support utility the FN keys worked fine. Also on Vista I never had a problem, all is working fine.
Anyway, I think you have tried everything so the last chance is reinstalling Vista using Toshiba recovery disk. After this the FN keys should work again.
Check this!!!

Toshiba-Satellite Laptop Model C655-55225 stopped working after 90 days

I purchased a Toshiba - Satellite Laptop on 9/30/2011, it completely stopped working on 1/5/12. The laptop was not even used until 12/25/11, as it was a Christmas present for my husband. I called Customer Service at Best Buy because Toshiba Customer Service has been of no help, only to be told to call Toshiba. When I called Toshiba the first time they had us run some diagnostics on the laptop, which did not help at all. The computer will not even power up. Please keep in mind this laptop was gently used and well taken care of for the two weeks it was in use. There were no bumps, drops, virus or spills. I have spent a small fortune on products at Best Buy this holiday season and this is how they treat their customers? They offered no suggestions or help at all with a product they sold or offered to intercede with Toshiba. I can tell you with all certainty I will never buy another Toshiba product nor darken a BestBuy entryway. The customer service is equally awful with both companies.

Did they give you any other reason why they wouldn't send it out? It is a pretty common procedure to send it out under manufacturers warranty and I am surprised they would shoot you down. Did you talk to geeksquad or just customer service?

Satellite A205 - SD Card reader stopped working after Win 7 upgrade

Satellite A205-SP5818
I recently upgraded to Windows 7, and, among other things, the SD Card reader stopped working. I already downloaded and installed the driver offered in this site: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2190493& rpn=PSAE3U&modelFilter=&selCategory=3&selFamily=10 73768663 (it's the next-to-last driver shown) but it went from not working all together to making funny noices when I insert the SD card... and then not working.
Any ideas of other drivers that might work, or any kind of other solution?
Thanks.

Hi
Try to remove eh SD card controller from the device list.
Then reboot the unit.
After that windows will ask you for an driver.
You can download this driver:
[SD Driver, Flash Memory v2.0.0.7|http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/driver_cardreader_ti_25844A.exe]
You should unzip this package and has to point the driver files in this folder
This should helps to get the SD card reader working again
