Satellite Pro A300 - After standby the mouse stops working

Hi all,
Really hope you can help me out wiht this problem as I believe I have tried anything I know and my next step is formating the whole computer again and still not knowing if it will work this time, as this is what I just did, when upgrading to win 7.
I have 2 problems:
When computer goes on standby and I start it backup - the mouse stops working, unless i move it to another usb-port. I get a message aswell about usb can perform faster...
Another problem is a program freezing at this point aswell, this program is Oracle JDeveloper, do not know if this has any relevance??
I have tried updating EVERY driver from toshibas webpage- theese problems still occur...
Please help!
Would rather not format again...!

Hi
Can you please tell us what Windows 7 version you have installed? I mean if you have 32bit or 64bit.
Is this right that you are using an external mouse?
Does the touchpad work after standby mode? If yes I think its something wrong with the external mouse maybe.
By the way: Make sure that you are using newest BIOS version. You can find it on the Toshiba page.
And regarding the Oracle question I think you should contact the Oracle support directly. ;)

Satellite Pro A300 - I get the "Windows search" if I left click any folder

I have just purchased a Satellite Pro A300 and downgraded it to Windows XP SP3.
When I left-click any folder icon on my hard drive I get the 'Windows Search' window displayed instead of opening the folder. When I right-click any folder icon, the first item in the menu (bolded) is 'Search'.
How can I change the order of these menu items so as 'Open' is the first item?
Can I remove (Control Panel-Add or Remove Programs) the Windows Search facility without affecting any software I have loaded?
Is having the Windows Search facility installed the likely cause of my problem?
Thanks,
Murray

Have just solved my own problem:
1. The order of items in the shortcut menu for Folders can be changed by updating the actions for specified file types in the Folder Options Menu. Select +Folder Options+ from the +Tools+ menu of any folder, select +File Types+ and scroll down to *Folder*. Click *Advanced* then click *New* and add *Open* with *Explorer* as the program to use. Click *OK* and *Close* and bingo! Appears the order of the short-cut menu in XP is Open before search, but in XP Pro is Search followed by Open/Explore.
2. The Windows Search utility can be safely removed despite the warning issued - the Microsoft website indicates the warning is simply a generic warning and it is highly unlikely that removal will affect any software installed since the Search utility was loaded.
3. The Windows Search utility was NOT the cause of this problem.
Trust this might save others the hours of research I had to do to find this solution ...

Satellite Pro A300-1A8 Vista system restore not working

I wanted to use system restore due to attempting to reconfigure administrator rights, its somehow deleted all my shortcuts on my menu and messed about with a few things.
However when i try to use system restore (i have attempted to use it in safe mode, via cmd promp, both together and normal boot), yet all seem to stay hanging in the same green page where it reads something along the lines of 'system is initialising restore etc' (spending 45 mins on this page before i get fed up and shut down the computer). I have tried using different restore points but the same occurs. It like its not working at all.
Can anyone help with this please?
My laptop is a Satellite Pro A300-1A8.

Hi
You mean the Vista tool which can be found in (Start button -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore) does not work and you cannot set back the Vista to the early time point?
Well, usually there is no much to do to restore the OS to the early time point you have to star the system restore tool and have to choose the restore point. Then everything should run automatically.
If this doesnt work then something is messed up as you said in your posting above somehow deleted all your shortcuts on my menu and messed about with a few things possibly the OS has been messed to.
Try to clean the OS using the free software for example CCLeaner. I use it too. Its great. Repair and clean the OS and check if its possible to use the system restore tool again.
I found also this MS page:
[System Restore: frequently asked questions|http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/517d3b8e-3379-46c1-b479-05b30d6fb3f01033.mspx#EIEAC]

Satellite Pro A300-2C5 stopped working

Hi,
I have a problem with my Toshiba Pro A300-2C5.
It has stopped working today.
I poured a tea over it but removed is as quick as possibe but some water got inside of my laptop.
It was working for a while, I switched it off and switched it on again one hour later but unfortunately it stopped working.
When I try to switch it on, the syptoms are as follow:
- the only light which lights is a power light
- the screen does not work at all (it remains black and switched off)
- fan is working
- it seems hard disc does not work at all so Windows don't start
- keyboard does not work, when I hit tke keys nothing happenes, I tested Caps Lock key but it does not flash
- computer does not read my camera memory card
What shoul I do to make it working again? :(
Any help appreciated.
K.

Hi
The malfunction can be related to different notebook parts in worst case the spilled fluid damages the motherboard and you will need to replace the part.
In best case it could be an RAM fault as happens to a friend of mine.
He spilled coke on the keyboard and after a while the notebook could not power up.
We checked the RAM modules and replaced the two modules with new RAMs and this fixed the issue
You can try this too maybe it helps otherwise all other parts needs to be checked by an ASP technician.

Satellite Pro A300-1GT - Error message when starting webcam

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-1GT. The problem is that the camera does not work. When I start software it writes that I should restart camera or computer. I'm having Windows 7 and I serched the internet for solutions but I find just a discusions with the same problem without solutions.
Sory for may bad English.

Hi
The cam is not listed in device manager; neither as unknown device nor as USB device?
Well, I read here in the forum that internal webcam is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard and sometimes the connection is loose and therefore the cam cannot be recognized by system.
I think in such case the notebook needs to be disassembled and the connection should be checked. But this seems to be a job for technicians

Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE re-booting when plugged in

I have had this laptop put away for a while as I couldn't work through this problem, but I'm having another try.
The laptop is a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE.
The problem I am haiving is that the laptop would re-boot whenever I connect the PSU, but not when using a live CD (Ubuntu).
I would like to try and flash a replacement BIOS to see if that will solve the problem.
Unfortunately the software needed to flash the BIOS requires the laptop to be plugged in.
Is there any way around this problem?
Can I fool the software into thinking it is plugged in?
Is there a way I can revert/repair the BIOS in any other way as obviously the problem hasn't always been there.
Thanks

So once again: notebook runs fine using battery power but reboot always (in the loop????) when AC adaptor is connected. But using Live CD the notebook runs ok even if the AC adaptor is connected.
Right???
>> I think it may be a BIOS issue because the laptop will run without an issue when booting a live cd, even when it is plugged in.
If the unit runs ok using Live CD, then this means that this cannot be BIOS issue because BIOS does not depend on installed system.
Therefore in my opinion its definitely not a BIOS problem.
I think you should firstly disable the automatic reboot when an system crashes Win 7 is configured to restart immediately when a BSOD happens and this happens too fast to see the error I think you mean this by automatic reboot
Disable this by following way:
1)Control Panel -> System & Security -> System -> click the Advanced system settings
2)Locate the Startup and Recovery section near the bottom of the window and click Settings button.
3)In the Startup and Recovery window, uncheck the check box next to Automatically restart.
4)Now click OK and restart the unit
In my opinion the system crashed and therefore the notebook reboots

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:

Bluetooth Mouse stops working after software updates

Hello,
I've been using a Bluetooth mouse with my X220 Tablet for several months now. After fiddling with device manager to ensure that the Thinkpad Bluetooth device does not have the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" setting set, things were working perfectly.
However, after running through some windows & Lenovo updates, the mouse now seems to work for a while, but after any idle time, the mouse stops working. Turning the mouse off & back on seems to cause it to reconnect, and it works until the next time it goes idle for 2 minutes.
I've gone through device manager, and made sure both the Bluetooth & USB Root devices are set not to power down (per http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Bluetooth-mouse-stops-working-from-time-to-tim... ), but still no luck.
The software updates applied from the Lenovo System Update tool were:
ThinkPad Power Management Driver: 1.67.04.05
ThinkPad Power Manager: 6.64.4
Lenovo Solution Center: 2.4.002
Intel G1/G2 Display Driver: 9.17.10.3347
Also, some windows updates which don't seem related (mostly security), but I can lookup the list of KB numbers if helpful.
Are there any known issues with the power manager updates that might affect this? If so, what's the best way to revert to the last working version?
Thanks!

Try doing a PRAM reset and see if that helps, also put in new batteries as that may make a difference.

Keystrokes with mouse stopped working in InDesign CC

Sorry if this has been already asked, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
About midway through the day yesterday, keyboards shortcuts in conjunction with the mouse stopped working for me in InDesign CC.
Specifically the option-click or command-click to click and duplicate items or to link items quit.
I don't know if I inadvertently hit some key to get this to stop working or what happened, but I haven't found a way to get it back. These still work in other programs, including CS6.
Any hints on how I can get these functions back?
Thanks.

Michael,
I am embarrassed to say that I was trying to make Korean work for a Chinese font. Yes, I am an idiot. I rarely, but sometimes get going too fast and fail to pay attention to which country the customer request originated. In this case it was Korea and upon placing the Korean font style it worked fine. Thanks you for addressing my issue and taking the time to help me.

Why does Satellite Pro A300 not start when the power button is pressed?

Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 will not start correctly when the power button is pressed. The situation is this: When I press the power button the Toshiba opening picture (Leading Innovation) appears and disappers quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. Then there is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation underneath. And nothing happens however long I wait.
In order to get on with the starting proces I then shut down the computer by pressing down the power button until the computer stops. ("The hard way to shut down")
Now I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then the computer starts normally with the Toshiba opening picture and after a few seconds I am asked to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.
What shall I do to get a normal start procedure?

When notebook starts normally (after choosing normal mode) shut down your notebook properly using START > Shut down option. Next start should be normal.
When the OS is switched down on irregular way you will be always asked how to start it again (safe or normal mode).
The same happen on my Satellite A300.

Satellite Pro A300 standby and hibernate functions not working properly

I have a new satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E - 01E00VIT, and I'm finding this problem:
Sometimes, (not always: may be it depends on which program is running) when trying to put the computer in stand-by or in hibernate mode, it doesn't stop, but only shuts down the monitor (panel), while the fan goes on running and the power light is green. Obviously, lots of battery energy consumption!
Then there is no other way of resuming than shutting down the computer by holding down the power button long time... but this is not correct!
NB: my computer is always connected to a lan, and generally there are some browser windows open when I put it in stand-by mode.
How can I fix this?

Generally you are right but the point is that you have said that this issue doesnt happen always but sometimes.
> Sometimes, (not always: may be it depends on which program is running) when trying to put the computer in stand-by or in hibernate mode, it doesn't stop
Fact is that some single applications which are running can prevent the execution of standby mode or hibernation mode.
Therefore if you are running such programs you will have to close it firstly.
I dont say that this must be done with all applications. ;)

Satellite Pro A300 - Cursor constantly moves when external mouse connected

Hi there
I have a Satellite Pro A300. When I attach a mouse directly by USB the cursor is constantly moving. I also have a mouse attached via a Toshiba docking station and that works perfectly.
It doesn't matter which USB port I use or whether the laptop is connected to the docking station or not, or whether it is running on mains or battery power.
I thought it was the mouse that was the problem so I went and bought a new one but the problem is persisting.
Actually, while I have been writing this post, it has stopped doing it and then started again! Very frustrating.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Susib

Hi
How about the touchpad does the cursor moves and jumps using the touchpad?
Try to disable the touchpad while using the USB mouse check if you can notice a difference
How about BIOS?
Do you have the latest version installed?

Cooling behavior after BIOS Flash - Satellite Pro A300

Hello everybody,
I have two laptops, Satellite Pro A300 and Satellite A300. Both have the same configuration, C2D E8300,2GB,ATI 3650 512MB and so on.....
Today I flashed BIOS to the latest version (from V3.90 to V4.20) on both of them. On the version 3.90 cooling was OK, fan worked only when it was necessary. But now after flashing the BIOS fan works permanently, it does not stop.
What I did make, in Vista's Power Options under Toshiba Power Saver I changed the Cooling Method from Maximum Performance to Battery Optimized, the cooling reversed to the normal operation, but the cover (keyboard area) became hot a little bit.
My question is, what is the problem with cooling in the new version (v4.20)? And how to solve this problem?
Again, problem didn't exist before BIOS flashing and the problem is on both computers.
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Osman

Hi mate
Thanks for the feedback
> So what do you recommend me, to stay on Battery Optimized mode? Generally speaking, what's the difference between Maximum Performance and Battery Optimized modes in Power Saver?
Usually its advisable to use the Battery Optimized mode only when the AC adaptor is not connected to the notebook and the notebook uses only the battery power.
In such case the notebook does not waste the power using Battery Optimized mode and you could use the notebook much longer using battery only.
Using Battery Optimized mode the CPU and cooling modules run with lowest performance and the CPU does not create high heat dissipation.
This leads to a lower internal temperature and lower usage of cooling modules.
Bye

Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E doesn't wake up from standby correctly

I have a new Toshiba Satellite Pro A300/ PSAJ1E - 018006EN with similar problems too.
When mine goes into sleep mode it will not re-start unless the power button is pressed 'numerous' times, eventually it powers up, but in safe mode and everything that was being worked on is lost.

I too have a new satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E - 01E00VIT, and I'm finding a similar problem.
Sometimes, (not always: may be it depends on which program is running) when trying to put the computer in stand-by or in hibernate mode, it doesn't stop, but only suts down the monitor (panel), while the fan goes on running and the power light is green.
Then there is no other way of resuming than shutting down the computer by holding down the power button long time... but this is not correct!
NB: my computer is always connected to a lan, and generally there are some browser windows open when I put it in stand-by mode.
