Why Toshiba do not release publicly their Service manuals

Last year, I bought a Toshiba Equium A60. Last week, does not have the backlight on the monitor. While I'm not really complaining that light is gone that I find it amazing that Toshiba seems not to publish their service manuals. I am a fairly experienced technical person and so I prefer not having to pay Toshiba to take the laptop and replace a light bulb. Before I do this, it would be extremelly useful if I could just have a service manual to refer to.

I also have another laptop manufacturing. When the HARD drive failed on that I went to the Web site, easily located the correct and downloaded maintenance manual.

(Of course if Toshiba Customer Service help me so apologies in advance!)

Hi jim

It seems that only the service guys are able to use these internal documents.
I think that it is not possible to download these documents, because information is not communicated to everyone.
Of course, you find a lot of information on hard drives, memory, LED, etc in the manual which is preinstalled on your laptop.

I would recommend asking the service partner in your country for a retail or / and assistance.

  • Why VMWare is not to update their training materials?

    Hello

    I noticed that VMWare training materials do not conform to the version of vSphere product lates, but reviews are on the latest vSphere product!

    I attend new courses, upgrade to VCP4 VCP3. While I'm looking and reading, I saw most of the blogers and in the VMWare community, they recommend to prepare for the exam with the final documentation produced...

    So, if the review is based on the latest version of the product, why the Materils training always focus on version 4.0? Should not be the latest version. !!

    Thank you

    S.Hussain

    As I said, it is normally "latest version as the course is released", to give you a few examples, What's New is based on 4.0, Performance management and troubleshooting based on the 4.0 Update 1, install configure manage comes from the 4.1.

  • Why Toshiba do not allow you to configure laptops online?

    I can't find the Toshiba laptop I want with the specifications I need retailers. #For example, I would like a Satellite x 200 with 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, as shown here: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/seriesHomepage.do?service=EU&SERIES_ID=131319 and, ideally, I would just have a HDD instead of two (if that is possible) and a Vista 64 bit if OS is available as an option.

    ... But no retailers do one with a 2.2 GHz CPU Core2Duo.
    TOSHIBA could offer online store of configuration that alow you to create your own computer with specifications according to you AND by cutting out the man in the middle (retailer) for cheaper laptops.

    What do you think?

    Thank you

  • Why is Microsoft so lazy? No Service Pack 3 for Vista. No Service Pack 2 for Windows 7, but now don't want to buy Windows 8? No thanks.

    I had to reinstall Vista last night after my computer started to report that there is no bootable devices found. It took most of the day to complete the fresh install. I had to download and install the Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2, which took about an hour each. And then finally, Windows update started downloading another 115 separate updates. Who has 'more' of time to install.

    Why Microsoft does not release a Service Pack 3 for Vista? Or better yet, why do they not release something like "Windows Vista: Final Edition" that you can buy and it just install and done with it.
    Why a company that rakes in billions of dollars in software sales annually manage their software products at the end of life so sloppily?
    Windows 8 is already gone gold and I have heard nothing about when will be released Windows 7 Service Pack 2. It seems that Microsoft always has an eye on the future, but never on the present. Always eager to make new sales but never the support of existing products.
    When a product reaches a number of updates, a Service Pack must certainly be considered. And a final edition that integrates all product Service Packs must be taken into account. It would make life so much easier.

    If you want to provide information back to Microsoft, see the information here:

  • Why have they not on Toshiba AC100 - Android Market?

    Hello.

    Many programs are now obtained from the Android Market.
    And it's practical and above all safe.
    Automatically updates the old programs.
    Recently, many cases of headaches - virus for Android programs!

    Why Toshiba believes that it is not necessary on this unit?

    I agree with you. The lack of access to the Android market is the major drawback of the AC100 (and plussusceptibles the main reason of its sales representatives call the existence of niche). However, since the AC100 deviate much from googles requirements for the market, not all can be attributed to Toshiba. However, it would be Toshiba to renegotiate with Google, since now, allowes for apps market segmentation it would be possible to cover a stranger like the AC100 too. (Of course I understand the developers too, who do not want to have problems with their applications handle, because they don't work well on the features of the app was not ment for). My solution is use to limit my self to 2 alternative markets that I download apps and run the Antivirus program in addition 2. I doubt I doublecheck, for example by downloading the app for my HTC Legend and compare related version numbers and rights to the demands of the app.
    Uncomfortable, but I guess to have a system which covers my functional needs.

    Ciritical applications, like the Webbrowser(Opera/Firefox) I'm updating on the site of the seller (via PC update), since navigation with a stale version with well known security holes, there's nothing I'd like some advice.

    Toshiba, can I ask to provide at least an easy way to update the browser and the Flash Player (is it so difficult to put several important and security sensitive applications (browser, Flash Player, pdf-Reader and may also mail and office) in the Toshiba market with their latest versions (opera is in the T.Market 10.1 beta - 11 something later Dolphin Browser is like 1.0 which is a latest 4.0)) 6.1)? Currently, I have not found a way to get the latest updates of Adobe flash player. For Adobe reader, I can download from the adobe site, but for the flash player, it does not work that way.-(())

  • Satellite L870-165 does not work after having been repaired by their service

    Warranty Toshiba Laptop does not work after having been repaired by their service twice.
    Model: Satellite L870-165

    Computer does not start, rest with black screen showing: No bootable device - please restart your system

    After restarting the same thing happening again.
    I called incident phone Toshiba and after trying several options, I said take it for repair service.
    Told me first of all it was the hard drive, then called me to indicate this resettlement and ultimately it was the motherboard, what would have changed. The next day, being chosen computer repair returned to give exactly the same mistake, due to a malfunction only one night.

    After another call to 902 Toshiba warranty service, I went back to take the service, this time I changed the hard drive. When I arrived home the computer does not start only once, again gives the same error.

    I think this team comes with a default factory that his solution is not easy, because even the technical service told me I didn't know what to do with it.

    Sorry to hear all this. Unfortunately, we can not help you much so try please clarify this service. They help you with your laptop even if all must be exchanged.

  • Why Apple does not provide a 10 W charger with the air of the iPad 2 when the barn of the computer and hundreds of people on the web say he needs a 12 W charger because Apple has changed their software and 10 W very slow iPad charges.

    Why Apple does not provide a 10W for I pad air 2 charger when the barn of the computer and hundreds of people on the web say that the 10 W does not work and it takes a 12 W charger.  Burning of the computer told me that Apple has changed their software on the iPad and now requires a 12 W charger.

    A charger 10W works perfectly well. A 12W charger can be slightly faster to load under certain conditions.

  • Why HP will not be on an update of their Intel HD 3000 graphics card?

    Hey everybody!

    I like to play world of Warcraft on my DV7 portable entertainment and they just made an update of last week.  Now they tell me that my graphics card is outdated.  I went on the Intel site and there has been some updates since the last time that my graphics card has been updated in 2011.

    I read that you can do an update from the Intel site since HP customizes all their ups drivers and I don't understand why HP did not actually updates the graphics card so long when they prefetch wow on their laptops.    The game world is constantly evolving and needs these updates to continue to play without any problems.

    Does anyone have a solution to my problem or suggestions?

    Thank you!

    First do me a favor and just to be sure, look in under Graphics Device Manager and tell me what you see. If it is switchable, you will have two devices it. You must also have a nVidia or AMD Catalyst Control Center in the programs list. If you have any of these, then you have no switchable graphics and we can proceed to install the latest drivers from Intel.

    This is the driver package you need:

    Drivers you need

    It gives instructions on how to make the 'force' or manual installation of the graphics driver.

    http://www.Intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-022355.htm

    As stated in the pick instructions the pilots .zip version. They were dated August 2013 and later for the HD 3000. I have looked at some sites WOW talk about new updates and you don't be surprised if the update of the pilots is not all you need. There is an exchange of views that the game may have gotten too demanding for integrated video chips and your Intel HD 3000 can be up to manipulate the game more playable resolutions and with decent video features. But before we go there we will try update the driver. Don't forget that you understand before you pull the trigger on this. Post back if you need help most.

  • Why lately company does not release smartphones with screens 4 inches?

    Good evening!

    Why lately company does not release smartphones with screens 4 inches? Me as a person with small hands, it is very difficult to work with models even 4.3 inches.

    Now, I have Sony Xperia P. Very comfortable: fit to display me size metal case. Everything is fine except for the inserts in plastic (lower part). Shabby paint with these pads. Now, the phone looks not very nice. So I thought to change towards a new model. Because the phone close to 3 years.

    Expected to soon release a smartphone with a diagonal of 4 inches? (And in a metal box).
    Thanks in advance for your answer.

  • Why Microsoft did not recognize or set the iexplore.exe virus?

    After cold boot my Toshiba Satellite laptop computer with Vista, pane the Task Manager process shows no instance of iexplore.exe. However, after using the computer for a while (using Outlook, Crome, Excel etc) my system slowly grinds almost to a halt several instances of iexplore.exe appear in the process pane, each consumer of 15 to 25% of the total of processor cycles. This becomes worse and worse until the system becomes unusable.

    I belong to several thousand users of Windows who is plagued by the iexplore.exe virus. I used 5 different virus/malware removers (including MS Security Essentials and MSERT.exe), but they do not solve this problem.
    Why Microsoft did not recognize this virus dangerous and done something to remove it? (ODILE. EXE does not help).  Only users that I found on the web that have to get rid of this nasty virus are those who reformatted their hard drives.  Microsoft can surely do better than that.
    Has anyone found a solution that actually works?  (A lot of the fixes suggested on the net "seem" to work for a few hours or a day or two, but then the virus appears again upward and consumes most or all of the cycles CPU).
    I'm surprised that Microsoft do not have a solution to the problem. If you have a solution that really works, please let me know. Thank you.

    And you think this is a virus why? I admit it could be a root kit, but I suspect that a program you use called IExplore to launch a URL, but fails to launch a browser window, that is why tasks of runaways.

    However, if you believe that it is through a virus or root kit:

  • Why Adobe does not use the codec x264vfw open source for things like. AVI?

    Well we all know who wants to work with the x264vfw that does work in Premiere Elements.

    But I think Adobe might have to operate with the open source x264vfw or AVC-Intra coding Manager.

    I'm still wonder as to why it would work when I re - encode with another program to h264 in MP4 but again?

    Adobe goes really easy and messing with us. because they say there is support for h264 but only for MP4 and the other...

    Why they do not add. Support AVI, which goes to support of Adobe because I can't enter the livechat... because it is only of the week...

    This Codec the H264, X 264 and STROKE-1 are the most used codecs today, in my opinion, so I don't know why they don't sit their dev on it.

    It does not work on their $ 600 Application named Premiere Pro is something I do not understand...

    For me its amazing if I'm honest.

    Now, I want to know why adobe is such a service at this point.

    They all scream it, but Adobe does nothing.

    If someone knows a solution without re-encoding or FFMPEG, because it works well with my Variable rate in Premiere Elements let me know.

    Also, I want a response from Adobe, why they do nothing.

    I tried to put in plugins x264vfw .dll file or the folder, but the problem is not resolved.

    I sit to keep quiet for a while behind that and see how much son he existing... and it is more frustrating.
