Satellite P300 starts not immediately

Hello,
my Satellite P300 starts not immediately. I have to push the start button ca. 20 or 30 times.
Any results?

Hello
I have Satellite Pro P300 in front of me. I use it almost 4 weeks now and I press the start button very gently and keep it down for second or two and notebook start properly every time I want to start it.
Do not press the button quickly several times but gently and keep it down for second or two.

  • Satellite P300 does not charge

    Hello there.
    I have Toshiba Satellite P300. It's nearly 4 years old.
    However, 3 months ago it has started not to charge battery. I removed battery and left computer only with adaptor.
    Now it does not charge at one, i have to wait until electricity or smth will reach some level to start computer.
    So, please, help if anybody has had some alike problem or knows the reason and what to do.
    Maybe its adaptor problem, or something wrong with connection between adaptor and pc. I don't know and have no money yet to check it.
    Does anybody know what's wrong? Thanks.

    Hi
    Such issues can be related to different reasons;
    - AC adaptor issue
    - Motherboard issue (Im thinking especially about power supply electronic issue)
    But I dont think it could be an AC adaptor malfunction because the notebook can power up after a specific power level has been reached or the notebook can boot up after a longer time being connected to AC adaptor. Is it right?
    Well, it sounds like an mobo issue but this is just an suggestion
    The parts should be checked firstly before replacing

  • Satellite P300-19P not able to capture audio using Chicony Cam software

    Hey,
    I recently upgraded to windows 7 from vista and since then i have not been able to capture audio with the camera assistant software.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, repairing the program, changing the audio settings, running in compatibility mode, i have practically exhausted everything i can think of.
    Can anybody help at all?

    (if any other info is required then please ask me)

    Hi
    You mean you are not able to record the audio using the internal microphone.
    Is it right?
    In your case I would recommend checking the audio device settings inside the camsoftware.
    In settings -> audio tab (last tab) you will find the necessary settings.
    The audio device field should contain the microphone (2 Realtek high definition device) and the audio volume option should be set to max (to right).

  • Failure to turn Satellite P300 off

    When I try to turn off my notebook (Satellite P300 with Windows Vista Home), i.e. to complete the session and remove power, the notebook reboots rather than turns off.
    How can I correct this defect?

    Satellite P300 is not the newest notebook model and I presume you got it for a while?
    Since when you have noticed this issue?
    Have you installed some Microsoft updates before this starts to happen?
    Try to define power button as switch notebook off and test if the same will happen again.

  • Satellite P300 recently stopped charging when switched on

    My Toshiba P-300 has recently stopped charging when switched on.
    I have no concept as to how this has happened.
    It will charge fine when the laptop is either in sleep or switched off, but once it has been turned on it will not remain charging.
    Anybody know what's causing the problem, or has anyone else encountered this before.
    How was it solved?
    Thanks

    You must understand that charging process works automatically and it is controlled by power supply electronic. I dont know why this happen and answer to this can give you service provider after notebook check.
    Anyway, Satellite P300 is not the newest notebook model and described issue can be related to defective battery.
    When the notebook is ON and OS loaded remove battery for few seconds and put it back. Will charging procedure start or not?

  • Strange keyboard issue on a Satellite P300

    Hi,
    Since a week i have a problem with my keyboard on my P300.
    The keyboard doesn't work when the power supply is on. The keyboard is inactive on vista and in the BIOS.
    When i cut the power and the PC is on battery the keyboard is OK.
    Do you have any infomations about this problem ?
    Thanks.
    oliv

    Hi Oliv
    Such issue is not known to me and I think it must be hardware related issue.
    What you can do about it? Not much except to try with BIOS update but I dont think it will help.
    Satellite P300 is not the newest notebook model. Since when you have noticed such strange keyboard behaviour?
    To be honest I think you should contact Toshiba service in your country. Let them check keyboard and keyboard controller using diagnostic tools. They can tell you what the problem is and how to fix it.

  • Windows 8 upgrade on Satellite P300 - possible?

    I want my P300 upgrade to windows 8. Is this possible, and easy to do ?
    Thank you.

    Yes, it is possible to install Win 8 but since the Satellite P300 is not a part of the Win8 supported notebook models, you will not find Win 8 drivers.
    You will have to search and collect such drivers at your own hand
    So this can be a little bit problem but its definitely possible to use Win 8
    recommend checkign this pages:

  • Satellite P300 - is there a backlight for the keyboard?

    Hi - does anyone know if the Satellite P300 has a back light for the keyboard? I am assuming it does as the keys are shiny black but cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn it on. Any assistance is appreciated.

    As far as I know illuminated keyboard will be offered with new notebook series A500 and P500.
    I am 100% sure Satellite P300 has not such keyboard.
    You can check specifications for different Satellite /Satellite pro P300 models and you will see that nowhere is mentioned such keyboard.

  • Re: Satellite P300 - POST screen blank on booting up and very slow start up

    Hi,
    I have a laptop Satellite P300. On booting up vista the microsoft logo comes up and then when the POST screen should be showing me what the bios is checking the screen is blank.
    It remains blank for 5 to 10 mins then the pointer appears then it finally goes to the desktop.
    I suspect the bios is hanging on something but I can't see cos the screen is blank. I suspect there is a setting somewhere. I can enter the bios but can't find anything in there.
    Also regards to the extremely slow boot, I have disabled nearly all the start up programs but it has made no difference.
    Has anyone any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Everything runs slowly but finally the Windows OS boots up properly. Right?
    Hmm. you can access the BIOS press F2 immediately after power button has been pressed.
    This should allow you to access the BIOS. There you should press F9 to set the BIOS to default settings. Save the changes and reboot the unit again.
    Additionally I would recommend checking the HDD. You could use a tool called Drive Fitness Test. This tool can be downloaded for free (google for that).
    By the way; did you try to recover the notebook using recover disk?
    Maybe you should try this but note; this would format the HDD so backup the date before starting recovery.

  • DVD ROM is not working on Satellite P300

    Im running Vista Home premium and my DVD drive (TS-L633A) is not working on a Satellite P300-18M
    when I check in device manager the dvd has a '!' next to it and a error message of 'Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)'
    I have tried downloading the latest drivers from the toshiba site and reinstalling it but it still fails. I have removed it from device manager and restarted the laptop but still no joy.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hey,
    I agree what Horwath wrote. I had the same problem few days ago and so I removed the upper and lower filters in registry and restarted the computer. After this I was able again to use my CD/DVD drive :)
    I hope it works for you too and any feedback would be nice!

  • Satellite P300-13M won't start at all

    Hello everybody,
    my Satellite P300 - 13M with product number PSPC4E won't start at all!
    When I put down my screen, it automatically goes in hibernation mode. But the last time I did this was just too much apparently.. I've ejected my battery and put the adapter in to see if it would start. Negative. I've put the battery back and ejected the adapter. Negative. I've connected both the battery and adapter. Negative, no result at all.
    Does this mean the end of my laptop?
    Please help me as fast you guys can because this is my only working laptop.
    Many thanks
    Ps if you want specifications, then i cannot give you them. I don't know the specs by heart.

    On this virtual way it is not easy to say what is wrong there but if there is no reaction at all Im afraid mainboard is death.
    In my opinion repair is probably not the solution. New motherboard costs a lot of money. Either you can find used one, maybe refurbished and exchange it or sell notebook on eBay and buy new one.

  • Satellite P300 keeps restarting itself after initial start up screen.

    My Satellite P300 keeps restarting itself after the initial start up screen.
    The initial start up screen with the F2 & F12 options at the bottom appears, the screen then goes black, then a cursor appears in the top left hand corner and flashes a couple of times. Then the laptop shuts down and restarts itself and goes through the same process over and over.
    This is all with the power adaptor plugged in. If unplugged, it will go through the above mentioned process and shut itself down with no restart.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    F8 is not listed in this meny, just F2 and F12 but F8 should help you to enter Advanced boot options .
    Can you please give an answer to C3POs question?
    Have you made some hardware upgrades in the past (RAM, HDD)?
    Have you changed anything?

    I removed the HDD and tried put different one (from working laptop) - still not working
    I removed the memory and tried put different one (from working laptop) - still no working
    I've got no idea what is it causing the trouble.
    I've got this laptop about a 2 months.
    Thanks.

    Hello
    Sounds like a hardware issue...
    You could try to remove the battery and AC/DC adaptor. Wait one hour and then connect both devices again.
    If it doesnt work you need professional help from an authorized service provider. The technicians can check your notebook and tell you what part must be replaced.

    SATELLITE P300-13J
    Tryed to download bios, and 30sc power button trick still nothing changes

    > when i restart my laptop , first of all it says , plugged in not charging after a minute of 2 it says no accu detected
    You should use the battery which was explicitly designed for this notebook model. Some retailers sells not genuine parts, also batteries and the mentioned problems can appear if you would use of not fully compatible battery pack.
    At the other hand, if you purchased compatible battery, it may take some time to detect the empty battery. You should connect the AC adaptor and should charge the battery for a longer period of time.
    If the battery would not be detected, even if the AC adaptor was connected for 2-4 hours, the battery should be replaced.
