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.
How can I fix this?

My Pc doesn't wake up from standby (845PE Max2)

Hi,
I have Windows Xp Pro installed and when I stand by my computer I can't get it to wake up successfuly. The PC is powered up when I press the power button, but I don't get any video signal or USB power (both my keyboard and mouse are connected to USB ports, and they don't get power after waking up).
Any clue on this? What should I do to make it work?
And could it have something to do with installed software? Besides the drivers for the hardware on the end of this message, I have Norton Internet Security 2003 (antivirus + firewall), Nero ImageDrive and Daemon Tools (these are tools similar to VirtualCD, thus making new cd/dvd drives available on my system).
Best regards,

Hi,
I own a Chieftec full tower black case that came with a 360W power supply from Chieftec (with PFC). I know this isn't a "top of the line" power supply, but I think it is enough to handle my system.
Besides the power issue, what could influence this? I know that my PC handled well the standby feature, but this was before I made some changes (moved a CD burner to the Intel IDE bus and placed a hard drive on the Promise controller, replacing the CD burner).
Best regards,

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.

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 PSAGDA-02000R CPU and video card chipset mismatch

can anyone help me with the specs on this laptop.
When I look at the official toshiba brochure for this product it mentions that the CPU Chipset is
"Mobile Intel 965PM Express Chipset"
but the second video card says
"Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GM45"
Which is correct because what I've read on the intel website, the GMA X3100 is used on the mobile 965PM Express Chipset.
Any help will be much appreciated.

To be honest this unit is not known to me but I know that some other Satellite Pro A300 supports other chipsets;
For example:
SATELLITE PRO A300 PSAJ1E-005008BT supports Intel GM965 chipset and Intel GM965 graphic chip
SATELLITE PRO A300 PSAJ5E-001001GR supports Intel PM965 chipset and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470
SATELLITE PRO A300-1E7 PSAGDE-003003EN supports Intel Mobile PM45 Express Chipset and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470
SATELLITE PRO A300-1HF PSAG1E-00K00SIT supports Intel GM965 and Intel GM965 graphic chip as well.
SATELLITE PRO A300-21B PSAGDE-01S007A3 supports Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470.
As you see there are many different notebook models with completely different hardware components
I googled too and it seems that the Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA-02000R supports Mobile Intel 965PM Express chipset and graphic card ATI Mobility Radion, HD 3650 with 512MB + Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GM45.

Satellite Pro A300 - shutdown issue

I have a brand new Satellite Pro A300-15V, which I have downgraded from Vista Business to XP Professional, using the original recovery disc.
Now I have problem shutting down the computer. When I click "Turn Off" it just shuts down and then restarts after a minute or two. Also, I can't bring it back from hibernation unless I shut it down on the button first.
Can anyone help, pls?

Hi guys
Im not 100% sure if my advice could help you but what you should do is firstly BIOS update to the latest version. Ive noticed that new BIOS were released last week for some A300 notebooks series.
After the BIOS update disable the WakeUp on LAN settings in the BIOS.
You could also disable the options like: "Wakeup on keyboard" and "Critical battery WakeUp"
*@cfrigerio:*
It seems youve already disabled this function but please check also the LAN card setting in the device manager -> LAn card properties -> Advanced tab.
There should be an option likes Wakeup on link, Wakeup using APM mode, etc
Disable these options!
Furthermore please check if any 3rd party applications dont wakeup the notebook.
Sometimes the scheduled tasks could be responsible for the irregular waking ups.
Good luck

Satellite A300-1NO - Wakes up from standby mode

Hi all!
I have got a Satellite A300-1NO with Win XP pro.
The problem is, that the laptop wakes up from standby mode automatically after about 5 minutes.
I tried to unplug all cables (LAN, usb, etc) but the power plug, but it's the same result.
So what can cause this? What should I try?
thanks.

You should disable the Wake up on LAN function in BIOS and Windows.
Check the BIOS for this option!
You can disable this feature in Windows if you right click on the network card > properties > advanced > wake on LAN
I hope it works for you.

Satellite Pro A300-2CW - Need Recovery disks with Windows XP

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 2CW. I bought it with Software Windows XP (included in a CD), which worked perfectly for years. I have reinstalled it several times during this years, but now the CD has deteriorated and it doesn't work anymore.
Originally the machine had WIndows Vista installed with DVD recovery creation option and a HDD recovery option, but I think this is not possible for Windows XP.
Do I have any options?Where could I buy the original Windows XP CD?
Thank you

Hi
You can try to order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
Other way you can install own WXP version. All WXP drivers, tools ad utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba download page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

Re: Satellite Pro A300 - shutdown commands mixup

*Satellite Pro A300-15T Model Serial No. 58256558W, Part No. PSAJ1E-00F00YAR*
1.It has been observed that when shutdown command is given, sometimes the laptop goes to restart mode and logon screen appears after restart.
2. When the sleep mode command is given, sometimes it does not go to sleep mode but rather goes to logoff mode and logon screen appears.
Why the laptop is not properly executing the commands related to sleep, shutdown and restart.
I have not changed any settings of the power buttons.

Hello
Has your notebook factory settings or you have installed own operating system?
How you give these commands especially command for sleep mode?
In front of me I have Satellite Pro A300 with original preinstalled Vista. Everything works well.
Using FN+F3 notebook switch in sleep mode.
Using FN+F4 notebook switch into hibernation mode.
I have tested options for power button and closing lid too. No problems at all.

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?
Check this!

Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9C-01500Y - FSB question

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on possibly upgrading my new [Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9C-01500Y|http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en&section=1&group=1&product=8270&p art=8813#spectop] to a different model.
I do not use this system for gaming or anything like that, mostly Office 2007, web browsing, media and programs like Photoshop and Dreamweaver. Nothing too high end.
My model has 800MHz, but after looking at a few different models I see that for $100 or so I can get a higher FSB speed (1066MHz) Like the model [PSAG9C-01J00Y|http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en&section=1&group=1&product=8270&p art=9131#spectop] which has a little faster CPU as well.
One of the things I have noticed as well is the max Ram for my system is 8GB and most others are only 4GB. I will not be using 64 bit windows, so it doesn't matter anyway.
I would mainly like to know if it is worth worrying about the FSB. I understand how FSB works and what it does, I am just not sure if i need to worry about it.
Any advice or suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
In your case the FSB speed is not really important if you want to use your notebook only for Office 2007, web browsing or webdesign.
The higher FSB is useful if you want to use high performance memory modules with higher speed.
For example; youve got FSB of 533Mhz and memory modules of 800Mhz the inserted memory modules would NOT run at 800Mhz because the lower FSB would slow down the memory speed.
But as I said a higher FSB is not really important if you dont use the notebook for high-end gaming.

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

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 crashes with blank screen

I have a Satellite Pro A300, AMD CPU, ATI graphics, Vista.
The system worked fine for a year but a few months ago it started crashing, the screen went blank, not blue, anything running, like music, stopped. This can happen after several hours or minutes, or even whilst it is re-booting. All my software is up-to-date, both from Microsoft and Toshiba. I have rebuilt my system from scratch and the symptoms came back.
At first I thought this might be a heat problem but I have monitored this but I don't think this is it. It has crashed seconds after leaving sleep mode when it has not had a chance to warm up.
Anybody got any ideas?
Simon

Hi buddy,
Theoretically it could be an overheating problem so the screen went blank due built in overheat protection...
You should try to clean your notebook using compressed air spray. This could blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators and therefore its not necessary to disassemble the notebook.
In your case I would recommend reading this article:

Re: Satellite Pro A300 - DVD drawer does not open most of the time

I have a Satellite Pro A300-1NH laptop. The DVD drawer does not open most of the time. Occasionally it does, but most of the time it does not.
Sometimes if I manage to get a DVD/CD into the drawer to burn something to, the burn works.
Most of the time the computer does not recognise that there is a disc there, and then I can't open the drawer again to get it out.
Can anyone tell a novice what I need to do to sort this out please?

Have you noticed this when you try to open drawer using eject button in the drawer itself?
Almost every player has integrated eject button. Can the drawer be opened using this eject button?
