How to disassemble, repair and improve Toshiba laptops.

I was looking for info on how to upgrade the HDD on my Satellite 1800 814 when I came across this site so thought that I post here for everyone. It seems to be exactly what I searched, and not only for the Satellite, but for other models as well.

I apologize if it's been posted here before, but I think it is worth a second mention anyway.

Hello

I agree with Sam. If the laptop is under a valid warranty so the best way is to contact the Toshiba service partner.

  • How to reinstall Vista on PC Toshiba laptop with new hard drive?

    Hard drive from my Toshiba laptop of sisters died as well as its internal fan and she asked me to fix it, well I got a new hard drive and replaced the dead with a new internal fan and works perfectly fine with a Linux Live CD. However, she had previously Vista Home Premium installed on it, and there was no installation CD, just 2 recovery discs. Now, I was wondering where I could get an iso image of vista UNACTIVATED so I can use his legitimate product for her key. (I also have a week to achieve and I repair to other computers as well, which are not a problem, so time is of the essence)

    Also, I have no money and can't afford to get a Best Buy installation CD, as the operating system has already been installed on the laptop/OEM computer. If that would be legal so getting an online and burning a black CD and use it to get Vista on this new hard drive of his?

    In addition, I know how to install its drivers, and upgrade from SP1 to SP2 via Windows Update Manager, all I need is a vista installation CD Home premium to get his computer upward and execution of how she wants to.

    most of the computers unless asked when bought normally come with the version of vista 32 bit

  • How will I know if my Toshiba laptop is HDCP. I just bought this year 2013.

    I must now before I have to rent or buy a movie from iTunes. I have windows 8

    usually anxiety HDCP (copy of the HD protection) also known as protected
    path of the video has more to do with the output from one device to another, say a
    HDMI port on your laptop computer to a port HDMI on your TV.
     
    If you play ON your laptop, as long as you have a video driver certified,
    You should be ok.
     
    If you want to use an external monitor/TV, it's more complicated, and
    depends on the TV, but usually HDMI to HDMI is within the guidelines.

  • How can I uninstall PC games Toshiba laptop Windows 8 OS?

    At the age of 73, I have absolutely no interest in the applications of games that have been installed on my laptop. I tried to uninstall, right click on each application, clicking the option to uninstall at the bottom of the page. Which brings me to the page of the Control Panel, but not lists not gaming applications in Control Panel files, nor it accentuates what Microsoft in Control Panel file which contains games. For this purpose there is no mention as to what file to uninstall. Has anyone successfully uninstalled apps "games"? If this isn't the case, Microsoft, you could do us a real favor by issuing an update that would solve the problem for those who want to uninstall the games feature. Thanks in advance for any helpful information. Jim

    You can try the following open file Explorer, my computer, check the two programs, programs (86 for the games you want to uninstall, once found open, open each games separately, and click on uninstall.) This should take care of your problem. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

    The above opinion is mine and mine nothing and does not necessarily reflect that of Microsoft, it is

    employees, or any other Member of this forum.

    I'll add, do so at your own risk if you have never done such a thing. You must shoot the laptop a little to reach the fan.

  • system repair and recovery

    How the system repair and recovery is possible in windows vista Home premium which is preinstalled on toshiba satellite model? because I havn't windows disk.

    For a startup repair disk:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Here are the various ways to reinstall Vista:

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    Control Panel - mouse - Touchpad is here

    Panel of configuration-device - mouse and pointing devices Manager - double click on info pilot.

    If no joy go to Toshiba Support and download the latest drivers for your version of Windows and 32 or 64-bit.

    Go here and put in your info model and search for the drivers for your system

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS ADMIN

    =========================================

    It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: you mainly want to update or reinstall the touchpad drivers
    and ALSO to get the Toshiba value added Package for your version IF it is there.

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.

    I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed and would like to change to Windows 7 32 bit.  How can I do this?

    Original title: Harold

    Usually this is impossible on computers with Windows 7.  In almost all cases, you need to go to the store, buy Windows 7 32-bit and use the CD to install it on your computer.  This also requires the deletion of your system, you will need to reinstall all your programs and settings.

  • How to disassemble laptop Satellite of S70 - A?

    From my experience, most Toshiba laptop require a strip on the keyboard to remove before proceeding with the maintenance of the laptop. In these series, I think that this is not the case. I tried to remove the undercarriage of the laptop, but there seems to be something holding down.

    I also tried to remove the keyboard, but nothing is done, he didn't budge.

    How this approach?

    Please don't get me wrong, but why you want to disassemble your laptop?
    I assume that your laptop is fairly new and with a valid warranty. Computer laptop disassembly will void the warranty.
