Satellite Pro A300-1EA webcam not working

Hi,
About a month ago my webcam stopped working. I tried various solutions and then formatted my hard drive, installing a 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. I still can't get the webcam to work. Could you please advise?
Kind regards,
Witek

reinstall the webcam software which you can find on the Toshiba EU driver page...
this should fix the issue...

Satellite Pro A300 - FN Key not working with xp downgrade

I have just purchased a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 and downgraded the o/s to XP.
There is a problem with the FN key on the keyboard, it does not function. I dont know if this has something to do with the xp downgrade?
Any ideas please?

If you have downgraded to Windows XP with the Microsoft disk you must install the Toshiba utilities and Hotkey Utility.
This is necessary for the FN keys in Windows XP so check the Toshiba website for these utilities:

Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - Difficulties in BIOS update

Hi there,
I attempted to update BIOS on my new Satellite Pro A300-1EA (PSAG9E-001001EN) as prompted by Tempro, from version 1.50 to 1.90. The system froze completely during BIOS flash, after waiting for 1 hr, I decided to turn off the power and pray for the best. Thank heavens, everything still works, but the BIOS is still v1.50, not been updated. I have now read so many posts on the forum regarding blotched BIOS update and am now very cautious regarding undergoing any BIOS updates at all.
My questions are: Are there any issues regarding this particular update and/or with the InsydeFlash facility? Are BIOS updates all generally so tricky that they best be avoided? What are the alternative ways to update BIOS, hopefully less dangerous? Also, could there be any potential damage to my laptop related to this miscarried BIOS flash that I should be aware of?
Many thanks indeed!
Monsteress

You can feel you lucky, buddy! :)
Im surprised that your ROM module is not damaged or something else. In most cases this happens if the computer freezes during the update.
Let me give you a word of advice. You should only update the BIOS if its necessary or you have problems/issues with the notebook. You can ignore the messages from TEMPRO if your system runs properly. For example I never update the BIOS if my notebook runs perfect Never touch a running system ;)
Otherwise follow the tips posted by Akuma Before you update the BIOS close all running programs, disable AntiVirus and Firewall and connect the AC/DC adaptor.
On my Satellite U400 I have updated the BIOS without problems.

Satellite Pro A300-1DZ does not find HDD after BIOS update

Hi everyone,
I have recently purchased a secondhand Satellite Pro A300 1DZ.
Put a fresh copy of Windows xp home on it.
I then went on to install all the drivers needed from Toshiba's own site and at the end of this I thought it may be a good idea to update the bios????
OH DEAR what a big mistake.
Now the netbook will NOT start windows.
So I thought thats ok I will just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but it is telling me it cannot find a hard disk on my netbook?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am going crazy,
Could someone please tell me how to fix this? Thank you x

Hi
I think the option SATA mode has been set to AHCI and therefore the Windows XP cannot find the HDD.
This is because of the SATA controller.
You can set the SATA mode from AHCI mode to compatible mode and this will allows you to install the Win XP on the notebook without the usage of SATA drivers.
So, youve got two options if you want to install Win XP:
AHCI mode -> but you have to include SATA drivers
Compatible mode -> Win XP installation possible without the SATA drivers

Satellite Pro M30 graphics card not working when driver is installed

Hi all,
Im having problem with my nvidia Geforce FX Go5200, in a Satellite Pro M30 laptop, (Intel Pentium M processor 1.7 GHz, 512 Ram). This card was working fine suddenly the notebook stops.
I have formatted the notebook and installed Win XP PRO. After installing the VGA driver I restarted the notebook but black screen started coming up right after the Win XP splash screen appears. The notebook continues to start up but no screen.
It starts just fine in safe mode. I get my best screen by simply disabling the geforce card or uninstalling the driver. I tried to install a new driver for the VGA from the Toshiba download site but same problem appears. I have also tried updating BIOS but nothing happens.
Anyone can help me?
[email protected]

It is very strange issue. It will be really interesting to know if this happen when you use delivered recovery installations CD.
Anyway I presume there is some problem with LCD display. In safe mode the desktop is shown in lowers resolution but when OS starts the resolution will be adapted for standard one (1280x800) and obviously there is the problem.
I am not technician but I recommend you to contact service partner. As far as I know they use special tools and programs for display tests. They can tell you more.

Problem with Macbook Pro early 2011, webcam not working in any apps and windows 7 or 8 on bootcamp, keyboard backlight not working?

Hi Guys
I recently bought a second hand early 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inch and are having 2 problems. The first is that none of the apps detects my webcam at all, the second is, i have Windows 8 installed on bootcamp but are unable to get the keyboard backlight to work in 7 or 8. The backlight works perfect in os x 10.8.5 though. I need a little bit of help guys.....

Go to Apple Menu / About This Mac. Click on More Info ... next on System Report. In the left hand column, under Hardware, select USB. The right side will show the USB Device Tree. Look through that and check for "Built-in iSight". That is your camera. If it is not listed the camera is not working.
For backlighting, try this: go to System Preferences / Keyboard. Uncheck "Adjust keyboard lighting in low light".

Satellite Pro A10 - some keys not working with new keyboard

i fitted into my other A10 and all keys work so keyboard is fine.
All works ok with usb keyboard. Had motherboard out all seems ok.
Any help plz
chris....

Hi
Why do you think that the motherboard is ok?
Maybe its a keyboard controller issue
Did you check if the cable was connected properly?
In my opinion if you are 100% sure that the keyboard is ok then the issue must be related to the motherboard because there is no other part which is placed between the keyboard and mobo.
Bye

Satellite Pro A210 DVD Drive not working - error code 39

Hi All
My Satellite Pro A210 dvd drive is not loading.
When I looked into it it showed an error code 39.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it's still not working.
Any ideas?

Hi
From my knowledge the error message 39 appears if the CD/DVD drive is not visible in the My Computer.
You can try this workaround:
Go to device manager and delete the CD/DVD drive from the device list.
Then go to registry (regedit) and remove the upper and lower filters from the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Then reboot the unit and test it again
I think this should help!

Satellite Pro 6100: Fn keys not working

Hello,
Ive got a Satellite Pro 6100 notebook. Im having trouble using the secondary function keys (im not sure what they're called!). When I press the function (Fn) button, the light below the F10 button come on as it should, but when i press any of the F buttons i.e brightness up/down, nothing works!
I had a quick look at some of the keyboard help and troubleshooter in control panel which suggested the driver may be incorrect so i tried looking for an updated driver, but windows said i have the latest driver.
Does anybody else have this problem with the SP6100? Can it be fixed? If so how?!
Any help would be great.
Thanks - Kavi.

Hi
Even the Windows said you use the latest drivers, you should reinstall the drivers.
Firstly remove the Hotkey Utility Emulator for Display Devices from Add & remove programs.
The reinstall the common modules and Hotkey Utility Emulator for Display Devices.
Hope it helps pleas let us known if it will work or not

Satellite Pro U200: VGA output not working properly when AC adapter was connected

Hi,
I have a problem with vga output. When I'm working on battery and connect my notebook to external monitor it's ok, but when I connect AC adaptor then start waving also bluetooth and wlan does not work properly. In other case when I remove battery from notebook and connect AC adaptor it works properly.
thanks in advance

As long as you use a CRT you should set the refresh rate new, at least 85Hz. Standard is 60Hz as far as I know, and that hurts in your eyes.
The wireless lan behaviour is quite normal as long as your not right next to the access point. On battery power the wireless lan card reduces its energy consumption thus the connection will be poor if you dont have a perfect signal. You can turn this off in the iNTEL Pro/SET wireless software, where you can configure the adaptor. Try to change the powersafe mode to manual and full power, this should solve your problem.

Satellite Pro M10 Fn-F5 not working after login???

Im hoping someone can help me. Im totally confused.
Im running a projector off of a Satellite Pro M10. The Fn-F5 works perfectly all the way up until the CTRL - ALT - DEL prompt. Even at this point I can still Fn - F5 and flip through the settings. As soon as I login the FN - F5 doesnt do anything? I have removed all the monitors, reinstalled the video card with the latest driver and installed the Device Function key utility from the website?
I am assuming it must be something with the display settings once the user logs in but I cant work it out? I have tried taking the setting down to the basic 16bit and 800 x 600 but it makes no difference?
Any help or pointers would helpful?
Thanks
Mark

Hi
Sorry but you posting is a little be confused.
The FN+F5 combination allows you to switch between display devices. You can choose an external monitor, TV etc.
If you want to use the FN keys you have to install the Driver for Toshiba Display Devices Change Utility (Display Device Change) and the Hotkey Utilities for Display Devices.
These both applications are responsible for the correctly usage of the FN+F5 option.
The display graphic driver has nothing to do with the FN+F5 keys.

Wireless is ON but Satellite Pro A300-1EA says it's OFF

I have had this computer since April will no problems.
My wireless is on (on switch and func key) but my computer will not connect to a network, the icon has a red cross through it and when I try and diagose I keep being told to switch wireless on. I have restarted countless times, I have not downloaded any new software or run any updates since the last time it worked. I have checked the device manager, the drivers are up to date and there are no conflicts. I have tried diabling the anti vrius software but this has not helped.
I am currently connected through an ethnet cable. This has happened once before but after several hours it started working again. No such luck today.
The connectivity doctor acknowledges that the switch is on - but when I dianose I'm told to switch on the wireless.
Please help!??

Hi
Maybe you should simply reinstall the Wlan driver again. thats definitely worth a try
Go to device manger and uninstall the WLan driver
Then reboot the notebook and after windows has booted again, try to install the newest WLan driver. After this procedure reboot the notebook.
Furthermore go to device manager again and check the Wlan card properties.
There is a tab called Advanced. There you can find many different options and there could be an option which enables/disables the Wlan card too.
Last but not least check if there is no conflict between the WLan configuration tools like Atheros WLan configuration and the Windows WLan settings.
If you are using Atheros Wlan tool then Windows Wlan settings should be disabled (unmarked).

After v1.90 BIOS update Satellite Pro A300-1EA wont boot up

I have just upgraded my laptop to the new BIOS as stated in the title but after doing it my computer now wont boot up at all. I just get a blue screen with it asking me to do a CHKDSK because there might be a virus or that the hard drive isn't connected properly (when it is), and it just keeps rebooting.
It wont start in safe mode either. Anyone else had the same problem and if so, how do I get my laptop back?? :(
Thanks for any replies.

Please don't be mad on me but I think you really didn't read users manuals you got with your notebook. There is exactly described how you can have factory settings again.
So, now you are 100% sure that recovery image is not on the HDD but you don't know how to have factory settings again. Strange.
Remove battery, connect AC adapter only and disconnect all attached external devices.
Start your notebook and enter BIOS settings. Set it to default settings and try to start OS again.
What happen exactly?

Cooling fan is not working on Satellite Pro A300

Hi Everyone
I was asked by a friend to repair their Satellite Pro A300, as their CPU Cooling Fan had stopped working even during POST bootup and the laptop would overheat and shutdown. So I thought it could one of three things:
# Fan is clogged with dust or dirt
# Fan bearing has failed
# Fan power cable was loose
So I disassembled the laptop and cleaned the fan/heatsink using compressed air and checked the power connection which was solid, but this did not solve the problem, so I replaced the fan and heatsink with another one that I knew worked from the same model laptop that had a fault motherboard because of the random bios boot-up password bug (out of warranty) but still no joy.
I am beginning to believe that the fan was perfectly fine rather the motherboards cpu temperature sensor(s) that control the fan activation has failed.
Am I correct, in thinking that this is basically, irreparable without specialised tools and my friend will have content themselves with turning the system off every hourish or is there something else I am overlooking?
Thank you, for any help.

Hello
Im not a technician but for me it sounds like that fan connector is malfunctioning if you have already replaced the fan and therefore it would be necessary to replace the mainboard
Thats everything what I can say about this Have a look for second mainboard or notebook where you can get a cheap mainboard. Maybe it works. :)
