Satellite Pro P300 - unable to activate the inbuilt microphone

I purchased a Satellite Pro P300 some 2 months ago and to date all is well.
It has a webcam which I really thought I would not have any use for it but now find that I have.
The camera works fine but I am unable to activate the inbuilt microphone.
Can someone point me in the right direction please

Hi
You have to start the webcam software if you want to use the internal mic too.
The point is that the internal microphone is connected with the internal webcam and the webcam software controls the both devices.
Please check also if the internal mic was enabled in the webcamsoftware correctly
Furthermore I would recommend updating the sound driver.
Best regards

Satellite Pro P300 - How to obtain the factory image without media?

Hello
I have been given a Satellite Pro P300 and it has the recovery disc for win xp, I would like to go back to the pre installed Vista intallation if possible.
The recover partition on the hard drive isnt available so i assume it cant be recovered. Is it possible to purchase a factory image?

Liam is right Win 7 is better than Vista OS.
So if you have a possibility to install Win 7 I recommend doing this instead of Vista.
However, the Toshiba recovery disk contain just Vista OS.

Hi and welcome to Toshiba support forum.
At first tell us please which Satellite Pro do you have exactly.
Which operating system do you use?
What is wrong with webcam?
Every notebook model is delivered with preinstalled OS and webcam should work properly.
I presume you should have Win7 64bit, right?

Satellite Pro P300-26U - Can I use a second HDD?

Satellite P300 family support raid0 and double HDD. All model? User manual of 26U don't say any word about this. Model like P300-1BP has double HDD.
Can someone help me? I want to buy a P300-26U in Italy.
Thanks.
Guido

Hi
The Satellite P300 series doesnt support RAID!
There is NO RAID controller on the motherboard.
But you are right; the Satellite Pro P300-BP supports 2 HDDs but this does not meant that it would support RAID!
Furthermore you should know that P300 series supports different hardware specifications.
This means that not all P300 would be able to use 2 HDDs!!!
It could be possible that Satellite Pro P300-26U is not able to use 2 HDDs even though the Satellite Pro P300-BP support 2 HDDs.

Satellite Pro P300 has just died on me

Hi,
Yesterday my Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC1E) simply died on me...no battery charging lights nothing. Nothing happens when I press the ON button it is DEAD.
The battery was ok last time used, the adapter is still giving me nearly 20volts.
I took the laptop apart to check the DC in connector, thats ok.
I assume after some research its a motherboard fault. Typically my warranty ran out 2 months ago!!
Cost of a new replacement motherboard so far quoted is 180, not too eager to spend that as I have a tax bill to pay at the end of this month!
Any ideas to what the problem could be?
I have found a mobo on eBay which is a p300-1a8 going for a song but would that be compatible?
What are all the variations in the motherboards?
Would any other motherboard be compatible?
Any ideas, suggestions would be much appreciated and I thank anyone in advance for any ideas.
Cheers
Steve

Yes and no.
You can also imagine that different P300 notebooks have also different ports. Some of them have HDMI some probably not. There is also the difference.
Different ports, different processor or different graphic card. Maybe some models don't have even webcam and missing controller on motherboard.
So, if you want to have identical hardware configuration please be sure you use motherboard with the same model number.

Satellite Pro P300 - HDMI output port doesn't fit

Hello All,
Well this is starting to drive me to distraction and Im hoping theres someone who can put me out my missery lol.
I have been trying to hook my laptop (toshiba satellite pro p300) up to my LCD TV via the same HDMI cable I use for my PS3 but the connector just wont fit. I keep finding all these posts in various forums saying how they cant get sound out the HDMI connection...that would be great, as at least that means they have them connected.
Are there different connections for HDMI? The one I have is diagonal connector but the port on the laptop is more square, and just doesnt fit. So if there isnt a connector, does that mean I have a funky port, on the laptop.
There is also the matter of connection my laptop to my amp that controls the surround sound system. What connection is best to use, as there is no real audio out connections?
Cheers

Hi
Can you please tell us what Satellite Pro P300 you have exactly? I mean the exact model number.
Maybe you can also post a picture of the HDMI port. Normally there are no different HDMI ports, all have the same physical dimension.
Im not PS3 owner but maybe it has a special connector. Have you tried another cable?
Regarding the audio connection I use the normal line out port for my external speakers. Did you test this?

Satellite Pro P300-1CG wakes up from sleep mode when unplug USB mouse

I often transport my laptop from one working place to another.
Usually put it into sleep mode, unplug the USB mouse and lay in the bag.
However every time I unplug the USB mouse - the laptop wakes up and I have to put it into sleep again.
This is annoying. Is there any way to set up laptop _not_ to wake up on USB activity?
I didn't find any option in power settings of Vista, neither in BIOS.
My BIOS is up to date (just updated, but didn't help).
I use Windows Vista Business on Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1CG.

Hi
> Usually put it into sleep mode, unplug the USB mouse and lay in the bag.
Why you dont unplug the USB mouse firstly and then put the notebook into the sleep mode?
This would solve your issue ;)
From my knowledge the BIOS provides only the options: Wake-up on keyboard and Wake up on LAN.
There are no options for Wake up on USB and therefore such settings cannot be changed...
Cheers

Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC5E) - Webcam driver open fail on Windows 7

I've installed the RC of Windows 7 64 Bit on my Satellite Pro P300-PSPC5E and I'm experiencing problems with the configuration of my webcam and microphone.
I've tried to install the camera assistant software, 64-bit (windows vista) to configure the webcam but I keep getting an error with 'Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.' neither of a camera or computer restart work. I do get picture in Skype but I can not edit settings or so (dark picture) and the microphone is way more silent then it was on windows XP, although it's set on the maximum sound.
Is there a solution for this problem? I hope so :)

Hi
I think there is no solution for this problem at the moment because you are using a Release Candidate of Windows 7 and at the moment there are no official drivers for Windows 7 available.
You have already tried the Windows Vista driver so thats all what you can do. Alternative you visit the Toshiba US page (http://www.csd.toshiba.com) and search for Windows 7 beta driver. Maybe it works.
Good luck! :)

Recovery CD for XP in combination with dual HDD on Satellite Pro P300

On my Satellite Pro P300 there are two harddisks, both 160 GB.
At the moment Windows Vista Business is installed, as it was preinstalled.
On the first disk there are 3 partitions, one EISA-partition, one Vista boot-partition and one partition for HHDRecovery (contains image for Vista Product Recovery).
In Vista there is an option for Complete PC Backup. This provides the possibility to completely restore Vista to the situation at the time of the backup.
I made a Full PC Backup of the complete first hard drive (3 partitions) and saved it on the second harddrive.
Now I want to use the provided Toshiba Product Recovery for Windows XP to install Windows XP on the laptop.
I assume that the first harddrive will be completely overwritten, but I am not sure if the second drive will also be overwritten.
Does anybody know if my data on the second drive will be lost when i use the Product Recovery for XP?
I would like to preserve the data on the second drive, because it gives me the option to restore the laptop to the situation with Vista without reinstalling/activating all applications.
Also all my personal files are on that drive.

Normally it would be no problem to temporarily remove the second harddisk.
But I am not sure if my warranty will be void after that; the machine is only a few weeks old.
If the warranty is still valid after removing and reinstalling the second harddisk, I will try that option.
I just wonder if anybody knows for a fact that it does not write the second harddisk.
As you said, I also assume that it will not write the second harddisk, but I just want to be sure.

"Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"

Hello everyone!
We had a computer crash while we were working on Final Cut Pro and backing up some media to a hard drive.
Since then, whenever we "capture' video footage and hit the escape key to stop capturing - we get -
"Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"
We reinstalled the Final Cut Pro software all over again thinking that maybe the software got corrupted and we also rectified any disk permissions for the hard drives.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You eventually want to figure out how that happened and make sure you fix it.

You reformatted the external drive, yes? You might not have used the correct initialization setting. Should be Macintosh HFS, journalling is optional. Or you have a drive formatted for Winderz.
Aside from incorrect drive formatting, we have seen this error if the capture is incomplete or improperly terminated.
It's not an FCP issue, it's hardware.

Hi All Unable to activate the adobe form help me in solving this

Hi All,
I very new to adobe forms. I was trying to create a simple adobe form and was unable to activate the form the error which it displays as>
Invalid HTTP connection :ADS Can anyone help me what should be done to activate it ....
Regards,

Seems like there is a problem in configuring your ADS RFC connection.
Go the transaction SM59 ( Maintain RFC connection ) there search for RFC Destination ADS of type G and test it.
If it doesn't works fine then report to your IT guy.

I purchased an itunes gift card and I am unable to activate the card and I have misplaced my reciept, what should I do to activate my gift card?

Very very likely that tax is applicable and tax is more than $0.01. You need to add a payment method for the tax. If you add a credit card, the girft card balance will be used up first.

I am unable to activate the webisite links on the Macworld

Using either Safari or Chrome, I am unable to activate the links on the Macworld and Adobe websites. Clicking on the kinks does nothing. Seems to only occur on these two websites.
If I right click on the link I can choose new tb or new page and it works. Any ideas?

I have the same issue with Safari 6.0.4 and ML 10.8.3 with MacWorld. Unable to figure it out. The Adobe site seems to be fine for me though.

I have an iMac G5 OS 10.5.6. How do I activate the external microphone port? In gen. pref. 'sound' there is no option for the external port.

Your audio settings may have been changed.
Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
Quit Audio MIDI Setup.
