Satellite L25-S119 - needs work pressure

Hello

This is a strange appearance, one for you. About 2 weeks back, I noticed that my internal clock has stopped holding time. Initially, it was a minor annoyance, but as it got progressively worse so did everything else on the computer. No videos or music would go without stuttering, programs to always take to load and run, Web pages would take more time to connect, start/stop incredibly long, 6 second ads on Hulu lasted 12 minutes, etc. etc.

Around the reading on the net I found the culprit most likely to be the cmos battery. After replacement not once but twice and see the same thing, I started to look elsewhere for a cause.

It is then that I discovered something odd. If I hold mobile such as my left hand puts pressure on the underside of the laptop between pc card and the fan, the computer returns to normal operation. The clock ticks away as it has been manufactured in Switzerland and everything works great.

Remove this pressure and the seconds ticking grind to stop and I'm back in hell. I looked at the motherboard (I'm skilled enough to tear this sucker at this point) but nothing seems loose or hanging, no component dislodged or move when I push on them. There is no cracks on the Board, and nothing grows really down when I push on this issue (with the exception of this plastic thingy around the modem card).

I tried wedging of the strips of cardboard in there and put together, but unfortunately only this pressure with my fingers under the round is played. Since I can't keep it all the time and started to hurt as it's my wrist, does anyone have an idea what the hell is going on and what I can do about it (in addition to getting a new laptop as support # 800 suggested).

Thank you

Dan

Well buddy L25 is a former who knows what could be wrong with the motherboard
Maybe it s not a very affected mother board, but the HARD drive?
I put t he thinks that mobo if your operating system is running slowly, in my opinion if the mobo would be defective, then the laptop would not initialize or could not answer

What do you think of this?

    Model - PSL2XU D 00500

    My HARD drive is a Toshiba 60 GB 5400 RPM (MK-6026GAX) hard disk.

    Would be it someone please let me know where I can find the HARD drive diagnostic software appropriate to the hard drive of this model. I suspect that it starts to develop problems and run a check until I have look at the controller.

    Hey Buddy,

    Google can answer this question too... ;)

    There are a lot of diagnostics for your HARD drive. You can use the Drive Fitness Test of Hitachi for example. It creates a boot disk where you can boot from to start the test.

    An alternative look at HD Tune. It s Windows based but can check bad sectors too. In addition it allows to test the speed of the HARD drive.

    Hello. I am originally from Poland but I have American type of toshiba and its imposible to do. Everyone says that it is not in Poland. Can someone help me? Who have to drive someone?

    I can just confirm that you can't get media us recovery by the partner in your country. Maybe you can order the United States directly, but I'm really skeptical about it.

    Best solution for you is to install the full version of Microsoft and download all the drivers, tools and utilities in the United States download page.

    What I have to do is disable the adapter, turn it on, then re-boot.
    If I turned off the computer, I di everything again.

    > after a windows update, cannot use wi - fi on the front button
    Do you mean the button that launches Internet Explorer?

    Is this right?

    I put t know how you have connected the laptop to your router, but usually, if you own Windows WLan zero configuration then you should make sure that the parameters to a called + connect when this network is in range. +

  • Satellite L25 - S1192 AC adapter compatibility

    I took my Satellite L25 in the shop that fixed it and when I arrived it houses its fine, but I think the store gave me the wrong adapter because my machine does not (no light). The they gave me the back is a model API1AD43 number. Can someone tell me the right manufacturer / model of AC adapter / CC should I have?

    Hey Buddy,

    they gave you the wrong AC adapter. You need an AC with an output of 19V with 6. 3 and when Googling for HQ you actually, I found that the adapter a 19V but just 4. exit 7A. It is not enough ampere for your machine, must return to this store and ask them for an AC adapter with an output of 19 VOLT with 6.3 amps.

  • Satellite L25 does burn the DVD-R

    Hello

    I am not very computer so I hope it's a simple question. I have a Satellite L25 with a DVD-ROM.
    I am trying to record a video on a disc. It works when I save it to a CD - RW, but it does not seem to recognize the a DVD-R disc that I bought a whole bunch of today.

    Have I bought the hard drive or is there something in my computer that should be adjusted?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Karen

    Hello

    I found information that on some laptops Satellite L25 there was only a CD-RW/DVD-Rom drive installed. In this case, you can only burn the CD and read only DVD-ROMS.
    In this case, all ok on your laptop. You must use compatible support

  • Symbol does not appear when I use the hotkeys on Satellite L25

    Hello
    I have a Satellite L25. I have a little problem. Before when I used a few hotkeys (such as Fn + Esc) there was a sign on the screen (for example, that there was a cross sign of the sound or it was a volume). Now these signs do not appear, but access keys still work.
    Is that everyone knows what it takes to make such signs appear?
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Not easy to say why it is not.
    Maybe there is something wrong in the registry, but in my opinion this isn't a serious problem.
    All functions work correctly and in my opinion, you should not be angry about this.
    But if you want, you can refresh the driver. Maybe it helps.

    This unit was designed for the American market. In this case, you should check the site Web of Toshiba us for the necessary driver.

  • Satellite L25-S1192: WLan disconnect when moving from router

    I looked in the nets, and I can't find an answer to my exact problem.

    I have a laptop Satellite L25-S1192 and XP running.
    My problem is the Wi - Fi works very well until I'm 10-15 feet away from the router.

    Once I get beyond that point, I lose the connection even if when I display the network connections it shows that I'm still have an excellent signal and always connected. Other laptops work in the House and I did several other tests to rule out the router.
    I updated the driver but nothing seems to help.

    Given that the connection is working near the top which tells me the settings are correct.

    What Miss me?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hello

    In my view there is nothing wrong.
    The WiFi signal seems to be too low and therefore the WiFi disconnects.

    I think that this happens when you run Notepad with battery operation. Right?

    Well, you can go to Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab Wlan card
    There you can check if the WiFi network is set to mode harder

    It's strange, but you should try to reinstall the laptop with the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Maybe you should first check the Toshiba website for a new driver and BIOS:

  • Satellite A60 - sound stopped working

    Satellite A60 - sound stopped working. Download driver toshiba web site - click on the sound icon's new sound update and it worked, but disappeared whenever I restarted.

    Clicked the icon of installshield and starts to install, but then an error message saying 0 x 80040303, unknown error, the Setup program ends - this happens every time.

    Tried to download any other updates, but he says that I register my cell phone, I'm sure I did and doesn't let me do once again because it is more than 6 months.

    Help!

    Hello

    Try to restore the operating system to an earlier time when everything works well. On this path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. Try also to remove sound card since the Device Manager, and then restart the device.

    All the drivers for your device, you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
