• How to change the motherboard on my Satellite L655D password?

  I need to change the password on my laptop Toshiba Satellite L655d motherboard, but I don't know where I can.
  I'll be very grateful if someone can help me.

  Concerning

  Full Saravia

  Password motherboard, you mean the BIOS password. Right?

  First of all, he must know the old password you?
  If you do not know the old password to the BIOS, you will not be able to remove this
  In this case, you will need to contact the ASP from Toshiba (service) in your country.
  The technician would be able to remove an unknown password.

• Cannot get Satellite L655D-S5050 reinstall W7 with discs of Geek Squad

  Hello

  My Toshiba Satellite L655D with Win7 nephews got so slow, it was also sending emails to his Contacts without him do. So I tried to use the Geek Squad 3 DVD they did for us when we bought the laptop year ago & a Windows recovery environment. DVD to do a re-install any new form. I changed the boot order of HD on DVD/CD 1 1.

  Nothing would happen, but laptop would stop running. I think that the nephew tried to reinstall it with Toshiba assistant. So I can't little anyone get laptop to re - install the operating system. Nothing I can do I guess. can I purchase Microsoft Win 7 Ultimate DVD and do a clean install?

  Thank you

  Hello Paul

  I can't tell what the problem is here, but you should be able to install the OS by using Toshiba recovery disks created. Please try again after these steps:
  Several departures from the F12 key for laptop and press
  Menu of start-up must be indicated on the screen
  Put the recovery disc number 1 into the optical disc drive
  On the list, select the CD/DVD drive with the arrow keys and press ENTER

  What happen when you try to do this?

• Satellite L655D-s5050: PXE - MOF: exit Intel PXE ROM. No boot device

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite L655D-s5050 running windows.
  When I put the power, instead of get a toshiba logo, I get a black screen with the command prompt and a few seconds later the following messages:

  Intel UNDI, PXE - 2.0 (build 083)
  Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation

  For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.0.1.9 (15/12/09)

  Check the connection of the cable!
  PXE - MOF: Exit Intel PXE ROM.
  No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.

  When I insert a bootable Windows 7 DVD, the installation process runs very slowly and never ends...

  How can I fixed this problem, if you have an idea, please share it with me.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Message PXE is a typical sign of a malfunction of the HARD drive.
  Why? Because the laptop is trying to boot from LAN.
  Why LAN?
  Because other bootable devices have not been found.

  I would recommend so check the first page of the BIOS. If the HARD drive is not listed, this means that the HARD drive is faulty and should be replaced.

• Satellite L655D-S5050 - cannot install Win 8 due to lack of driver SATA HDD

  Hello!

  I would like to reinstall the operating system on my laptop.

  I've never had problems with this before. I am trying to install Windows 8.
  And the problem is that it asks me the HARD disk driver.
  First of all, I changed in the BIOS in compatibility mode.
  And that did not help.

  Then I downloaded the drivers for my laptop chipset on the Internet, but it did not help.
  Then I thought it might be a problem with the HARD drive. So I formatted completely. But it did not help either.

  Where can be a problem? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?
  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think that the Satellite L655D - S5050 (PSK2LU) supports graphics AMD (ATI) and chipset.
  This means that the ATI driver package contain the SATA driver files.
  I found the driver on the Toshiba page here we [Satellite L655D-S5055 | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2711088& rpn = PSK2LU & modelFilter = L655D-S5055 & SelCategorie = 2756709 & selFamily = 1073768663]

  By the way: why n t make a Win 7 to 8 upgrade as described here:

• Looking for accessories for a Satellite L655D-S5151

  I'm looking for some accessories for my Satellite L655D-S5151. The newsletter that Toshiba continues to send to me is always on new laptops. I don't need a new laptop that I just bought it. I need accessories for the one I have.

  Now I'm looking for two things:

  A graphics tablet that I can use for tracing/drawing/note taking which would be compatible with Tablet PC Input Panel and art including OpenOffice Draw programs.

  Something to replace notebooks. Something handheld or slightly larger with a database of address/phone number would be nice. I would like to be able to download the notes from the device to the laptop. I didn't need anything else. No games, camera or phone. It should be relatively inexpensive. I thought I'd do a PDA, but apparently they are obsolete. Does anyone have any suggestions? Google was not helpful.

  Windows 7 Home Premium SP1

  How about something like an Android Tablet?

• Satellite L655D crashes on Windows startup screen and does not start

  Hi, I hope someone can help me.

  Portable Satellite L655D age of 18 months of my daughter began to hang on the black 'starting windows' screen, when it stays until it turns off after several minutes. I didn't spend this stage for several days, and the machine seems completely unusable.

  I then turn off by pressing the power button for a few seconds, I can then select F12 with the option to start in safe mode, but the laptop never makes it in safemode, it real just data on a screen black for a few seconds and then it crashes with the message "Please wait".

  Others that look, I'm not able to go beyond these screens.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks, Darren

  Hello

  Did you create a recovery disk?
  In this case, you could use this drive in order to reinstall windows on the laptop system.

  Another possibility is to drive HARD recovery. Press the power button, F8 and choose fix my computer. Now choose HARD drive recovery.

  I hope that you can do this

• How to connect Cam to video for Satellite L655D?

  My daughter has a Toshiba Satellite L655D and wants to get video footage, that she turned on a Sony DCR-HC51 camcorder on his system. The camera supports the DV iLink s400 with a 4 pin firewire IEEE1394 connector. Computer laptop but does not seem to have any firewire connectivity. Does anyone know please how to convert either the iLink USB or any other method to achieve this.

  Thanks in advance for any help with this.

  Hey Buddy,

  I n t have experience with firewire connection but I found on some converter USB Firewire online stores
  This means that you can plug the cable from the camera and then via the USB port you can connect it to your computer. It should work

  Just check a few online shops or contact your local authorized service provider. I'm sure they can order these accessories for you. :)

• Re: Satellite C850 unbootable - broken HARD drive

  Hello people,

  I bought a * Toshiba Satellite C850 - 1F2 * with * + Windows 8 + *.
  After installation, the upgrade to * + Windows 8.1 + * and setting up everything, the whole machine worked well enough.

  BUT since yesterday, the laptop no longer starts!
  When I turn it on, the HARD drive is click and click and the system tries to boot from DVD, USB, HARD drive, IPv4, IPV6, and then he said, that there is no boot device.

  Unfortunately, I tried to do the + restore Windows 8 - backup - DVD + this weekend!
  Huh!

  Well, I have one more * + Windows-7-DVD original and license + *, which would be good as well (I used it in recent years).
  * YET *, I can't install * + Windows 7 + *.
  He says something like that, that this system is not available for Secure Boot +.

  I read about 'Secure Boot'.
  So I pressed F2, turned on the laptop and managed with this BIOS.
  It's a * + InsydeH20 Rev 3.7 + *.
  * BUT *, when I go to "Boot Mode" I don't see myself, this option is grayed out and I cannot change the UEFI Boot + to ++ CSM Boot +.

  Even changing the HARD drive made no difference.
  I put in my old HDD with Windows 7 installed (which works in the other laptop), but the system does not start, because it is + not suitable for Secure Boot +.

  * Then, of WHAT NOW? *
  I mean, we can't really politics of Toshiba, you need to take your laptop, if the HARD drive breaks, it can?
  Because I create the rescue-DVD, I just my DVD of Windows 7 and an another HARD drive and installed Windows 7.

  I have to buy another license of Windows 8 and an another disk to reinstall Windows 8 (suitable for Secure Boot)?
  Would it even work like that?
  Or is it possible to upgrade the BIOS for it, I can then change boot UEFI to CSM Boot?
  Or is there another chance, to use my other HDD with Windows 7, or at least a new HARD clean disk, on which I can then install my Windows 7 operating system?

  I hope someone can give me good advice, what to do now... without throwing the Toshiba laptop ;)

  Thanks in advance!

  > I hope that someone can give me good advice, what to do now... without throwing the Toshiba laptop
  Let's start with this sentence. You must not throw your laptop. There's always a last stage that can be done and in your case, you can contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
  This model of laptop is fairly new, so I can imagine that the warranty is still valid, so I think you should contact the service and ask if you can get a new HARD drive for free. I mean why not if the warranty is still valid.

• Re: My Satellite M60 unbootable

  Hello

  Can someone help me? I have a Toshiba Satellite M60-164 which was working fine, but now the laptop seems to like his death. He won the boot t upward, even when plugged into the charger. The light on the real charger lights up but none of the lights on the laptop turns on and it doesn't seem to add any charge in the battery, but it won t work out on the power supply.

  He had a new charger, about 15 months ago and was fine until today.

  That means he s the charger or the battery or the laptop?

  Any help would be most appreciated.
  Thank you, Danny.

  Remove the battery and leave the laptop without power for a while. Only connect the power supply and try to start your laptop.
  If nothing happens I have fear of damage serious there and you should contact the nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer.

• My Satellite 1670 unbootable.

  HY everybody.
  I'm in trouble, plese help me. I need my 1670 Satellite old but still good, but there is a strange problem. When I plug the power (also without battery) the led starts to Flash. And I can't do nothing. What can I do? Subsequently, where can I buy a main board replacement for my Satellite, on the line? How much it will cost?

  Hello

  This does not seem very well! The LED emits a flashing Code. Only, this could be interpreted by a technician from Toshiba! You could ask a calculation by a Toshiba Service partner or searching the Internet on a used Board or an another Satellite 1670! I don't know the price!

  So good luck!

• Satellite L655D-011-HDD/SSD Alert, HARD drive failure?

  I have an old L655D-011 of 6 months and yesterday it started to appear with the message to back up my files because there is a problem with my HARD drive. Well, after having a technical support in the past, I don't give that easily and simply run my laptop to the nearest authorized service center. Instead, I help out.

  I did the BIOS update finally. No change in question.
  Finally had time to create a recovery media. No problem with that at all.
  I reformatted. No change in question.
  Checked the health monitor. It shows that my HARD drive is "good". Yet, when I double-click the icon, I get a pop - up with the following message:

  "Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert."

  Disk0

  Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict which monitors the status of operation of the HARD drive. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a back-up to the date of your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new replacement if necessary. »

  So, after that I decided to run a CHKDSK /f /r. Result: 'windows replaced bad clusters in file name \hiberfil.sys 44990.'

  I should be good to go, right? N ° same problem with the precaution of backing up my files.

  But this isn't good, is it? If my HARD drive is about to fail why monitor health show that everything is "good"? There is no problem with gel, pxe.boot errors, rattling disc, unusual vibrations or read/write failures.

  So, my questions (after all the above and see other threads to ask questions about HARD drive failure messages) are: were there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly? Are failure drives hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)? The health monitor working correctly?

  In my opinion your questions cannot be answered simply.
  > Are there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly?
  How many people must confirm that they have the same problem? I guess this happens from time to time, but you cannot say that this problem is known.
  You will always find people who noticed the same issue and not on Toshiba forum only, but on all the forums where people discuss cell phones in general.
  > Is the disk failure hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)?
  How to check or confirm this?

  You know, during the first backup all your important data, watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the info appears again and again, contact the nearest service Toshiba and let them Exchange the HARD drive.
  The guarantee is valid and it will be free of charge.

• Satellite A205 unbootable after Pixela ImageMixer 3 installed

  Help!

  I got my Satellite (A205 S5804) for a year and a half, and it's been great... until last night. I bought a Canon camcorder and went to install the Pixela ImageMixer 3. After following the instructions in the installation screen it recommended to do a reboot. The pc off and then restarted in this spiral without end of "diagnostics of system recovery. I ran the utility, and it can correct itself (I think something in the registry may have got damaged/overwritten during installation?). Safe mode does not work. Nothing works.

  I can get a DOS prompt, which takes me to the "X:\~~~" and I don't know what the player 'X' is supposed to represent. Now I curse me not to do a system recovery disk. I have files I want to try to get off there before I do something drastic like a complete reformat of HD.

  Can I do to bypass this system recovery loop? I'll have to reformat and start over?

  Hello!

  It is really hard to tell if the Pixela ImageMixer or not. It could be also a virus or something else.

  In any case, for the moment, it seems you have to recovery of the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc or HARD drive recovery option.
  If you don t have the Toshiba Recovery disk, you can get one from an authorized service I think. You must therefore contact the ASP and ask for it.

  If you want to save your files on the HARD disk, you must put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. You can then save it on another computer or laptop.

  Good bye
