Expensive satellite C875-136 - replacement motherboard

Hello

December 20, 2012, for my daughter, I bought a Toshiba Satellite C875-136. I paid 599.25

Last week the computer stop working (for me it was the motherboard).

I called Toshiba in my country: france. They said they had a partner for the products of the thesis: TYPES for Transfer from Toshiba support me the CONTROLS support

They said that I need to send to us the computer and the cost of troubleshooting research was 79.90.
So I sent my computer to this company.

This morning I received by mail a repair proposal for 864! (just to change the motherboard)
More expensive than a new PC!

I'm very surprised, when I called the first time the technician told me that a card mother estimate could cost 130.

It was my first Toshiba computer. He was 18 months old... and it was a "small" computer cheapy, not a computer gamer.

PS: I called Toshiba France, for us, there is no problem with the price of theses.

> This morning I received by mail a repair proposal for 864! (just to change the motherboard)

Wow! 864 for new motherboard is a costly business, but on the other hand, the motherboard went the more expensive laptop.
I guess a new motherboard costs between 300-380 series of laptop computer.

However, I think that 864 total includes the costs of additional services like the full replacement procedure, etc...

But of course, you can get a new laptop for 864 and I guess that it s not worth to replace the motherboard if the warranty isn't valid anymore.

    Hello

    The point is that you have installed the BT tools and software in disorder

    To get the BT working, you need to first install the Realtek Wireless LAN Driver then the
    Driver Realtek Bluetooth package filter then battery Toshiba BT
    The reason is that mobile use a WLan / BT combo card.

    The application of the monitor BT transforms the Bluetooth module power in conjunction with the Bluetooth stack.
    If its not really necessary get the BT working.

    Here you can find the BT portal, including the BT stack!

  • Satellite M40-136: network card is damage

    Hello

    I have a satellite M40-136, which is a little more than 2 years. I have cable broadband installed and this had led me to discover that I have a problem with my network card (a Marvell Yukon map I think).

    I had guys on the network at work to check the laptop and they say either the network adapter connection is loose or the card is damaged.
    I rang one of their guys said tech that I need a new main board because the network cards are integrated on all laptops and PC WORLD.

    Is this correct? If it is then it will cost an arm and a leg to fix it.

    Nicky

    Well, that's good.
    Map of LAN (RJ45) is soldered on the motherboard.
    Perhaps an independent technician with experience might be able to solve this problem, but in general, the motherboard should be replaced.

    The motherboard is one of the expensive parts and you are right; the new Council is costing a fortune

  • Satellite M40 - 136 product dvd recovery

    Hello

    I have problems with my laptop Satellite M40 136 I bought a year ago. If I close down the machine when I then turned it on it would give me a screen saying there is a problem in Windows and gave me the option 'Start windows normally', 'start with the last successful settings', 'start in safe mode', 'start in safe mode with networking' or 'start in safe mode with command prompt '. It would usually take several attempts before that Windows would fire up ok, any option to choose. However yesterday any have repeatedly tried it would not be in windows.

    I decided that I need to use the dvd - rom product recovery is a relocation complete (fortunately I had saved my personal files). I did it, but at the end when he says 'ctrl-alt-del"to restart, reboot I got the same message"problem going into windows"with the same options. I repeated the recovery process 2 more times with no luck.

    This morning, he did go further and asked me to go through the installation process of Windows (i.e. giving the phone a name, asking if I wanted to save the machine with toshiba/microsoft etc.) However he then pop up with the message "problem going into windows" with the options that I mentioned earlier. I choose any option that he ends up back on the same screen.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    HI Nicky,

    It is possible that you have a problem with your hard drive. The operating system will always be usually resident in the same sectors of the hard drive even after a re-installation using your recovery CD, the same sectors of the hard drive will be used to store the files of the OS.

    I suggest that you try to run a CHKDSK/F on your hard drive to see what it brings. Of course id there are lots of bad sectors then will consider you replacing the hard drive.

    Kind regards

  • Replacement motherboard for HP A6030N?

    Hi all

    I am using A6030N desktop for five years, had to let it stay on for almost two years.

    But this desktop computer little worked fantastically til last week.

    Its motherboard might have been fried, but I'm not sure. Here are the symptoms.

    (1) whenever the power cord is connected, everything is turned on even if I did not press the power switch.

    Swapping 2) power supply card and remove switch power connector has not helped. Whatever I do, he repeated #1.

    I was looking for a replacement motherboard, Nettle3-GL8E(ECS MCP61PM-HM), but the lowest price was $ 60, quite expensive for the old model.

    I'm not good in material stuffs, I have no idea what to do. Yes, is there an alternative AM2 Motherboard recommendable for this office? Or is it safe to use any motherboard AM2 running? There will not be any problem of BIOS?

    Please let me know

    Thank you!

    The other disadvantage is that the background shield of basket I/O (where the audio and other ports are) will not match. This means that the desktop computer PC will always be open to the back of the motherboard for dust to enter.  It is not a big problem if you want to combine a system.

    Any Micro-ATX: 24,4 cm (9.6 inches) motherboard x 24.4 cm (9.6 inches) will adapt and sealants should correspond to those in the case. Make sure that the power supply in the original system has all the required connectors for the new mobo...

  • Satellite C875: Changes in Windows recovery after update to 8.1 Windows

    For days now with no success, I tried to update Windows 8 (64-bit) for Windows 8.1 a Satellite C875-153 (PSCBCE-03H002FR)
    I open a new thread as none of yarns available on this forum helped me, or my research on the web.

    * 1 error *-I have ' sort of ' figure is:
    -> * 8.1 Windows update fails with error 0xC1900101 - 0 x 30018 *.

    I followed all the steps, in the proper order, this guide from Toshiba, but it did not help to resolve the error:

    I then followed the recommendation of this thread and has been 'temporarily' able to update OS Win 8.1:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=296594

    Step that worked for me was to remove the network cable during installation windows 8.1 as suggested by user "RandyRoberts".

    * 2nd error: *.

    *-> Windows 8.1 hangs and the system has attempted to restore changes to Windows 8 *.
    By disconnecting the network cable, I was able to complete the update of Windows 8.1 and run it temporarily.

    As soon as I reconnect the network cable and reconnect on the web, the computer crashes and restarts.
    I guess Windows 8.1 strives to check license status and then refuse to turn it on.
    Windows ends up trying to restore changes and back to Windows 8.

    He hangs on reboot and refuses to recharge the previous operating system (Windows 8), leaving me on a screen with the options of couple. At this stage, I can only get the picture of the plant to be able to restart the system.

    These measurements were made on an OS freshly reinstalled with no additional software.
    All updates and the steps have been followed and recheck several times. I'm runnning last BIOS available.
    I have already backed up all my data and burned the recovery disks.

    Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

  • Shortcut keys do not work on my Satellite L550D - 136 (PSLXSE)

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L550D - 136 PSLXSE

    I wanted to work with the keys Fn + f (f1 etc.) numbers

    But they do not work. I've already updated my Windown and I already updated the package of service evaluated.

    What can I do, they work?

    By the way: the keys have no mechanical defects.

    Thank you

    Hello guys

    I put t really know what you are doing with your laptops. Each new laptop comes with the pre-installed operating system clean (recovery image) and FN (Flash cards) keys SHOULD work correctly.
    Later, when you install your own stuff or configure OS, something can go wrong, and cards flash may stop working. On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem.

    Of course, you can try to fix this resettlement package added. This software contains cards Flash utility and it should work again. Before install VAP remove preinstalled version and restart your laptop.
    I put t know which type of installation of Windows you have installed, but anything is possible may be responsible for the non working flash cards.

    In the end, if you will not be able to fix it, to save all your data and install recovery disk HARD recovery plant using image - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    Wth all factory settings will be OK again.

  • Cannot start up satellite M40 136

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M40 136 2.5 years old. I used it yesterday and then closed the lid then it shut down as usual. About half an hour later, I realized that I had to check a file so I opened the lid and normally he would back automatically, but it didn't. I pressed the button, which is surrounded by an LED, I think than orange means it's pending otherwise it is blue.

    When I pressed on it, he showed the light orange for about 2 seconds and then nothing for 5 seconds and then blue for 5 seconds. For these last 5 seconds the machine looks like it, he's trying to start, but then it off immediately. I tried and tried again, but it does the same thing. I tried to use the power cable. I managed to put the recovery DVDs during the 5 seconds, the blue light is on and I press the 'C' button, but it does not work.

    Does anyone have an idea on what I can do to get the machine to boot?

    Nicky

    Plug the laptop! Remove the battery and the AC adapter.
    Then wait about 30 min, then insert the battery and connect the AC to the laptop.
    Check if the mobile feed.

    If this isn't the case,-> contact ASP (certified partner) in your country, because the strange behavior of cell phone looks like a serious problem that cannot be solved by a common user!

  • Satellite L550D-136 - Recvovery HDD after reloading the Image

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L550D-136.
    For the backup of my custemised system I'm building a Windows 7 image backup.
    Can I use the Toshiba HARD drive recovery tool after reloading my own image?

    Frankl

    Your customized backup is based on the factory settings?

    To be honest I was not testing in the past, but be careful with this stuff. Create recovery DVDs using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. If something goes wrong and you want to still have factory settings once you can use this DVD for installing recovery image.

    As far as I know Satellite P300/P300D comes with Vista and not with Win7 for Win7 installation drive recovery HARD work not at all. You can install Vista, maybe, but certainly not Win7.

    Because of this, I assume that you have installed your own version of Win7. Can you confirm this?

    Is that HARD drive recovery facility (F8 > fix my computer) works with the installation of recovery only (out of the box).
