Satellite L455D - cannot open the lid

I got a Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976 laptop for about 2 years. The other day when I went to check the daily messages, the cover has come practically out of it! I had left the laptop the night before waiting for things to download, because it takes forever for this laptop to do anything. I ve done before without incident, so I didn t expect something. Its perfectly fine opening (although the bottom, a keyboard and trackpad felt hot enough to burn me), but when I closed there was a sound of cracking type and closed the lid twisted.
A little freaked out by the break at random, I turned it around look at the back.

There was a piece of metal that comes out like a thumb at the back and a small piece of broken metal fell. I can t even open it now. I guess a part inside the laptop has melted and he does.

Is that what someone else had a problem like this or know what to do to get it resolved?

I n t have problem in the past but I think that laptop must be disassembled and checked what is the problem.
It is not easy to discuss these issues on virtual path.
The question is what you can do now. You can try laptop disassembly only, but if you n t have experience with this, it can be quite risky. Small error can ends with racks made of plastic broken or laptop Briefcase.

I don t know buddy, maybe you should seek professional help and communicate with the service of Toshiba.

What do you think of all this?

  • Satellite A300 - cannot open the SD card

    Hello

Please note that the same card get identified in the external as usual card and card reader work entirely respective mobile (for micro SD) and the camera (SD).

    Please suggest me how to fix card reader?

    Thanks in advance.

    Dimitri.

    Hi smarjit1,

    Have you tried different SD cards or just this one SD card? The SD card is probably the problem, what do you think?

    In addition, I would like to try an update card reader driver. The most recent driver, you can download on the official website of Toshiba:

  • Satellite P200: Cannot open the Power Saver - fatal error in Windows XP Home edition

    Hello

    I just installed XP and I came across a problem that is boring. When I finished to install Power Saver and the driver, I got a message saying fatal error and I thought it was because I haven't restarted. Then, after only a day or 2 later I went to the energy saver and he said cannot open because you don't have access rights to "Toshiba Power Saver.

    Is there a solution to this
    Neo-Tech

    Hello

    I put t know if this is a solution but try my proposal:
    First of all, remember that you are registered as an administrator or make sure that you have administrator rights.

    Remove your old system energy saving. You must remove the driver and utility.
    Then reinstall the computer and clean the registry using the freeware like CCleaner.

    Then install the driver of saver of power and after reboot the new install standby power plant.

    I hope it helps

    What can I do?

    Hello!

    I never heard of this issue, but try to update the BIOS as Akuma said. It s worth a try! On the Toshiba site, you can search for an update of the BIOS:

    In the worst cases, you should try to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc.

  • Satellite 1110: cannot close the lid without insisting on the cover

    Hello

    I have a problem with my screen before covering. Plastic, which is around the screen, separated on one side, and I cannot shut down the computer without insisting on the cover.

    It is difficult to describe? Y at - it the possibility to solve the problem of the screen? All ideas are welcome.

    Christoph

    Hello Christoph

    In my opinion, you should be careful with these plastic parts. In my view, it is part of the very sensitive laptop and it will be perhaps better to contact the Service partner. I put t think there is a big problem.

    Probably just the fasteners should be placed to the right.

  • Satellite A300-M01 - fingerprint - cannot open the sensor with Win XP

    I got a Satellite A300-M01 with Windows Vista but my my software is very slow, so I'm a Windows XP Installer to put in. After that, the fingerprint reader no longer works the registration of fingerprints he'll only say 'Cannot open the sensor' and if you access the service of this device it says "specified device instance handle does not match this device."

    I already downloaded the driver for this sensor of isd.toshiba.com.au, but after the installation, the problem is the same. Any info is much appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • Satellite A200-27U not wakes up after hibernation when you open the lid

    I just bought a new Satellite A200 27U which goes a lot so far.
    However, I have configured in hibernation mode when I close the lid.

    I can't resume automatically hibernate when I open the lid.
    I have to press the power button.
    Is this normal, should resume automatically?

    If yes how to do it do?

    It is the same with my Satellite P200 and I think it's normal. It is the same on my second laptop preinstalled WXP.
    Putting into service is not automatically and after you open the laptop I have to press power button / stop too.
    But it is not so problematic. What do you think?

    You use Windows XP Home or Vista edition?

  • Satellite A100-049 - how can you stop it turn on when you open the lid?

    I don't see any option to stop this in the BIOS or otherwise but it annoyingly turns on when you open the lid. I stopped it turn off when you close the lid, but prefer that he remained turned off when you open the lid.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    I assume you are using the Vista operating system.
    Have you checked the Power Options OS located in the control panel? Do it!

    But a question; Why you use n t stop him if you n t want to turn on the laptop by opening the cover.

  • Satellite L10-202 begins after hibernation without opening the lid

    Hello

    I have problem with start up after hibernation. When I close the lid computers go into hibernation. It's OK. But when I opened the lid it starts. Sometimes I don't even open the cover. I just take over and it starts.

    It is not critical, but it's very uncomfortable because when it is in hibernation, and I take it and move in a purse or bag it lights. Is it possible to configure something he'll start when I press the power button / stop and not when I open the lid?

    Hello

    As far as I know the Toshiba Power saver is responsible for the hibernation and the day before.
    In this case, I recommend first reinstall the Toshiba Power saver.
    Check it out.

  • Cannot open the application "Mail" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported

    I work on a MacBook Pro mid 2012

    Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz

    OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

    The Mail app suddenly quit and when I tried to resume, I got this message

    "Cannot open the application"Mail"because the PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

    This also happens with the "Maps" app

    All Mac software are up to date, but "Mail" has been working fine since my last update that was awhile ago.

    I am confused to say the least. Suggestions? Thank you!

    If you do a Get Info (command - I) on Mail and Maps applications, what version numbers do you see?

    Try a reboot.

    Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

    Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Isolate a problem by using a different user account

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  • Tecra R850 starts when you open the lid

    Hello

    I recently bought a 2nd hand Toshiba Tecra R850.

    Is it normal for the laptop start loading Windows, open the lid?

    I always perform a clean shutdown when I won't be using the laptop - and I always waited to push the button to start.

    So is it normal for the laptop to start when I open the lid? Is there a substitution?

    Thank you
    Brian

    I can answer myself. I went to the BIOS and there is an option for the laptop to start automatically on opening the lid. I put this to disabled.
