Toshiba Satellite A300D-158 (PSAKCE-00Q00MRV). Bios corrupted

Hi.
I've tried to update bios, but all crushed.
I've find information about restore bios, but I can't find BIOS files for A300D on official site.
Could anybody help me?
Thanks.

  • Win 7 32-64 bit drivers for Satellite A300D-17G PSAKCE

    hello, everybody!
    I've read previous topics regarding win 7 drivers for A300, though I'd like to consult on my own problem. I've got A300D.
    Toshiba drivers page offers very limited list of drivers for Satellite A300D-17G PSAKCE.
    http://ru.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=RU
    Why?
    Where shall I get the rest?
    No matter for 32 or 64 bit. I'll be happy with any of them.
    Thanx in advance!

    Everything depands on drivers what you really need...
    You should check the device manager.
    If there are some unknown devices then use the workaround in the HowTo in order to find such driver.
    To be honest there are no many different devices.
    WLan, Bluetooth, touchpad are not notebooks specific
    Wlan driver can be downloaded from here:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
    Also Toshiba tools like VAP (value added package) Flash Card support utility and similar can be installed on different notebook models
    So I dont think that this is little extreme

  • Satellite A300D-15B PSAKCE - Cannot install the Win XP 64bit sound driver

    Hello all,
    This is my first post here after lurking for the last week or two, My hope is that somewhere here there is help and hence hope!
    I have a wonderful Toshiba A300D-15B PSAKCE with 4GB/O RAM, however I am suffering from some problems that the holy SEARCH function cannot solve. I use this laptop as a development box for uni/work alas...
    After an absolute nightmare with Vista32 and Vista64 I decided to go back to windows XP32, however this wont install, keeps claiming a CRC file failure after (and yes this is with the SATA in IDE mode and with an XPSP2 disk)
    I decided that I really DONT want to goback to Vista, so installed Windows XP64. Now the initial Instal goes very easy, I have the basic setup, the chipset, graphics, network, processor, usb, pretty much the basic... except... and this is where I have lost most of my hair.... SOUND!
    Firstly attempting to install the sound driver results in Failure, claiming the mmdriver.inf cannot be found or corrupt, obviously I checked, and yes there it is, for the sake of it downloaded the MMDRIVER.INF and placed it system32, and still the install fails.
    I have also tried a "Manual Install", from the .inf files... this includes the XP32/64 drivers and the Vista 32/64 bit drivers, still the same
    problem, driver continues to fail install. I am becoming increasingly bald. Outstanding Drivers that WONT install

    Now, as I write this I have heard rumor that the A305D uses the same
    audio/graphics drivers.... well.... off to try something I guess...
    if there is any help or ideas I would appreciate it.

    Thanks Jaba
    Initially I attempted to locate the MS patches you mentioned, KB835221 and KB888111 respectively, alas there were none available that I could find for XP64, also at the time of tapping this message theres no XPSP3 for XP64 bit either.
    Lucky for me I logged into my MSDN account and downloaded XP+XPSP3 tore the house up looking for a CDR... anyway long story short.... solved all the problems with the required updates of SP3, I now have my Toshiba A300D-15B all singing 'n dancing laptop setup completely with XP32.
    Had to take a hit on the RAM though, gonnna have to go on with only 3.2GB instead of 4GB,
    arguably when one counts the memory foot-print that vista ultimate 64 had used I am probalby still on a winner here in memory avaiable terms LOL!
    thanks again! much help!

  • Satellite A300D-15B PSAKCE - USB message appears if BT is enabled

    Sorry if I'm one of those annoying people who has been posted something that's already been posted.
    A couple of weeks ago, my laptop a Satellite A300D-15B series (PSAKCE 00K0DEN) kept coming up with a msg - "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" - when nothing was plugged into any of the USB ports (anything I subsequently plugged in any of them works fine).
    Today, I was wanting to use bluetooth with my phone. The icon is red and blue as opposed to the white and blue combination it usually has when ready to send files. On opening the 'add new connection' menu, a msg popped up saying "Bluetooth not ready". On the options menu, running a diagnostics reveals this msg: "Check communication with Bluetooth device: Fail".
    I disabled Bluetooth and noticed that I stopped getting the USB message too - and on enabling Bluetooth, the message would keep cropping up, indicating that there would be a link between them.
    I am a complete technology noob and I have no idea how to fix this, or even grasp what the problem is to start with, and most internet sites that seem helpful also seem full of jargon I can't understand!
    I really hope someone can help based on my minimal information, and thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    a possible fix maybe to uninstall all your USB devices in Device Manager (under Windows XP, I don't know the compartment name under other MS operating systems).
    It helped me, when I was using a usb hub and switched the devices on it's ports very often. After some time, some of the devices stopped being recognized by the system and I got the "unrecognized device plugged in" message instead.
    The uninstallation of the USB components also removes any profiles that Windows created for a particular device (at least that was the explanation that I've found somewhere in the Internet).
    If this doesn't help (Windows should reinstall all the drivers after you -> restart your computer), try maybe to uninstall the BlueTooth devices the same way. Write if you have any progress / solution for/with the problem.

    My laptop A300D toshiba satellite

    Hi
    You mean you are not able to recover the notebook using the HDD recovery procedure?
    You can start the HDD procedure pressing F8, choosing option Repair my Computer.
    Then a new window should appear and there you could choose a new option called Toshiba HDD recovery.
    If this is not possible then I believe that you have no other choice as reinstall the OS using an installation disk (Microsoft or Toshiba).
    If you dont have such disk then you order it from this website:

  • Satellite A300D-15B - Upgrade from Windows 7 32bit to 64bit?

    I've added an extra 4GB of memory to my Satellite A300D-15B (PSAKCE). When I try to run the Windows 7 64bit upgrade it fails with a blue screen.
    Is it possible to upgrade this model to 64 bit Windows 7?

    Hi ronchennells,
    Theoretically it should be possible to upgrade to Windows 7 64bit You can do/install everything what you want but the important point is drivers
    On the official Toshiba website there are no Windows 7 64bit drivers but you can try the Vista 64bit drivers. Normally they are compatible
    Generally speaking its not necessary to upgrade to 4GB RAM or more for using Windows 7 64bit. You can also use the 64bit version with 2GB only.
    What happens if you start the upgrade with original memory module only?

  • Satellite A300D restarts all the time

    Hi,
    My Toshiba Satellite A300D 14P restarts all the time and i cant do anything!
    I turned it off last night and today when i pressed the power button it worked for 1-2 secs and then did a restart again and again.
    My display doesn't show anything (because it works only for 1-2 secs).
    Any ideas?

    On this virtual way it is not easy to say what the problem is and Im afraid you need professional help with this issue. Maybe you should contact nearest Toshiba service provider and let them check your notebook.
    Problem is that your options are very limited and all you can try is to check if notebook will starts with or without RAM, HDD or battery. Problem is that nothing is shown on the screen and you dont have even access to BIOS settings.
    It must be some serious hardware related issue.

    Toshiba USA has not supplied a full set of Windows XP drivers for your model. This is most likely your problem. Toshiba laptops are very finicky about only working properly with the Toshiba supplied drivers, not those from the chipmaker or Windows Update. Unfortunately, after checking the Toshiba Asia, Australia, Europe and India sites, none of them have XP drivers for your model.
    Perhaps the best solution would have been to use Windows 7 - XP Mode. This is a free option if you have Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate editions. If XP Mode works for your purposes, you could just have used Windows Anytime Upgrade, to upgrade the Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit edition your system came with to upgrade your system.
    However, as you have installed Windows XP, you have probably wiped out the Toshiba Recovery partition that was on your hard drive. So, unless you made a set of Toshiba Recovery Media, as per the directions on pages 74-75 of your L755 User Manual, you may want to order a set of recovery media from Toshiba.
    Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

  • Satellite A660-158 - Can't start Windows

    Toshiba Satellite A660-158
    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660-158. He served me less than a week. I think it's the broken hard drive.
    My problem:
    Once I start the computer, it booted and worked for a while, but suddenly there was an error reading that I didn't have time. Computer was restarted. And does not load ... Before the boot mode does not reach. But the initial test (with logo) has been successful. Takes a long time and eventually gives an error:
    Unable to start Windows. Maybe it was because of the recent small difference is the hardware configuration or software. To fix this error:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer (The complete drive was not)
    2. Choose the language settings, and then click Next.
    3. Select "Repair your computer".
    If this disc is missing, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer (He turned and said to bear the service center, but I do not have this capability).
    Status: 0xc000000e
    Details: Failed to boot menu, since the required device is inaccessible.
    Please help me! Idon't know what me do(
    Please write to E-Mail: [email protected]

    Hey,
    And why do you think the hard drive is defective?
    Have you already tried the Repair your computer option? Usually with this option you can restore factory settings in few minutes.
    Furthermore if you have the Toshiba recovery disk you can also restore factory settings from this disk. Just boot from it and follow the screen instructions. You have to make few clicks only, the installation with all drivers and tools happen automatically.
    If you have more questions, please let us know! :)

  • Display driver for Satellite A300D doesn't work

    Hi all,
    At first, please, sorry for my English :)
    So, I have big problem with my graphic card. I have Toshiba Satellite A300D (AMD Athlon Dual Core QL-62 (2.0GHz), 2GB DDR2 (800MHz), 250GB (5400rpm) SATA, 15.4" Wide XGA CSV HB, DVD-Super-Multi (+-R DL), ATI M82XT (256MB), Realtek 802.11 (b/g) 13ch-RTL8187B,Bluetooth,,integr. 1.3Mpix WebCam/Mic w/o auto macro,,,,10/100MBit BTO, 6 Cell BTO, 6 buttons BTO,,Works&Office_HST_Trial_DB,Vista 32bit Home Premium)...
    So Ive reinstalled my Windows Vista, but graphic driver (downloaded from official website) dont works. I downloaded drivers from similar website...same problem....Vista, XP...no function.
    Help me someone please (and dont recommend me other systems, like Linux etc... ;-) Thanks!!!

    Hi
    The Toshiba ATI graphic card driver from the Toshiba European drive page works!
    I dont know what you did and what notebook you have but usually there are different A300D series and you should firstly ensure that you have chosen the right series in the driver download form before you would download any drivers!!
    After you have downloaded the driver, unzip it and then execute the setup file.

  • Satellite A300D-135 - BIOS - System Configuration Data Read Error

    After Booting a Satellite A300D-135 laptop the following error message appears:
    <Several BIOS messages >
    3070M Extended RAM Passed
    512 KB L2 Cache
    System BIOS shadowed
    Video BIOS shadowed
    ATAPI CD-ROM: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H
    Fixed Disk 0: TOSHIBA MK2546GSX
    Mouse initialized
    ERROR
    System Configuration Data Read Error
    Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to Setup
    After pressing F1 the machine boots Windows just fine, but the error message is quite irritating while it comes with a loud BEEP
    I've tried the following things so far (in this particular order):
    - Loaded BIOS defaults
    - Flashed the BIOS with latest BIOS (2.80) for this model type
    - Reinstalled windows with HDD format
    All of these haven't worked.
    I've seen the same message appearing on several places on the internet (on different laptops with a Phoenix BIOS in common), but until now I haven't been able to find a working solution.
    It might me a hardware issue, but all devices (vga, soiund, lan, wifi, usb, hdd) seem to work just fine in Windows, so this doesn't seem the issue). Another solution that is mentioned in some forums is replacing the cell battery. But because the laptop keeps time properly I don't think this is the case either.
    Any ideas ?
    Regards,
    GJ

    Hi buddy,
    It seems that the power on self test has detected a hardware error... :(
    I think such a problem like this you cant solve with loading the default settings in BIOS or with an update because its hardware based error.
    In your case I would contact an authorized service provider. The guys can check your notebook because they have special diagnostic tools for Toshiba notebooks and access to all Toshiba databases I think.
    You can find a list of them here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Find an authorized service provider
    Usually they work really fast and you will have a short repair time I think. In my case it did take only one week until I got my notebook back. :)
