Try running this. You may have to download it from another computer and transfer it via burned cd or flash drive. It's called MalwareBytes. Free to scan but if you want it for real time protection against harmful site, then you need to buy the 30 to 40 $ version. Here is the link

Should have the license number on the back of the machine. I think you can use almost any Windows CD to relaod Windows then use the code on the back of the computer to register it (pretty sure, but not positive). If you bought this new you might get in touch with the manufacturer for more info.

Yes, down load the driver from another computer.
You can download any/all the Windows XP or Vista device drivers for your model laptop from the Toshiba WEB site from their download page. Make sure you enter the model of your laptop so you can get the correct drivers. Use this link :-

there area couple of ways that this can be done but before you do anything make sure that you have a windows installation cd, if you dont try and get one. one thing that could be done is you could format the drive in the recovery console using the fdisk command (must know how to operate a command prompt), or you could boot off of a windows installation disk and format that partition, and then follow the rest of the steps to reinstall windows. also if you need to get files off of the computer you can simply download a program called bart pe, it is a very small operating system that you put on a cd and boot off of. it gives you a GUI so you can backup all the files that you need without having to boot into windows and have trouble.

Hi,

The first step would be to swap Charger. Use this charger in a different model and make sure that the charger is working.

Then, make sure Battery is working. Remove the battery and then plug in the notebook with the help of charger directly. If you do not face any problem, then it confirm that the Battery needs to be replaced unless we need to further investigate.

-Have you ever noticed of the system date/time being changed automatically?
-If it is set to power saver scheme, for how long it runs on battery, without the charger/adopter?
Please try the following:

Run the laptop off battery in power saver mode, it should run for about two hours. When the battery charge is about to completely drain out. Shut down it. Connect your adaptor, fully charge the battery, without switching on the laptop. This procedure will recallibrate the battery.

When the battery is fully charged again, start your laptop off the battery, and check if it improved anything, or remained the same. There is a application called vista Battery Saver available for extending battery power in Windows Vista.
It disables all the power eating applications that Vista features like the Aero interface. It also automatically switches back to a different power plan as soon as you plug your laptop back in.


You can try it from the following link

The observations I am able to make about your problem is this:

1 Your computer seems to work fine in power saving mode - This implies that your battery is not causing the trouble. Also you did replaced your battery with no positive results.

2 Your computer seems to work fine when plugged in and the battery seems to charge properly - This implies that the charger is fine.


So there is only one thing that is causing the trouble - The OS itself. If possible try a fresh install of Vista, and please try to avoid Aero themes or sidebars. This things eat up a lot of battery power
If it does not solve the issue, the next step would be to Install Windows.

If problem still persists, then It's a Hardware problem. However, that would be the Last step.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Toshiba does not support XP with your model. You will need to do a google search for your hardware and see if the manufatcurer of the device carries a driver for your needs.

The satellite is very similar to a Toshiba laptop, Instead of typing step by step with out any pics, i thought it would be better to show step by stpm in pics. below you will see a link to the process.

That state might called comatose, during the shut down the battery gone low, so the system is in a hang state, after recharging to its full, then you power it on and the system try to recall the last status,sometimes needs reset and the system will work, other trick is remove the battery and PSU then push power switch several times to drain residual power and attach the battery and turn power on.If this will not work, the bios might be need reset, in this case you must claim your warranty service.

Install printer as a network(TCP/IP) printer instead of LPT1.

try turning off and then remove battery and plug in a/c cord.turn back on..still nothing let me knowRICHARDM69

1.Did you transfer the Display Mode from the laptops LCD screen, to an External Monitor?
You have a 'Hot Key' to do this.
Press the Fn key down, hold it down, then press the F5 key. (I would choose the -> TV Only option)

(If you do not have the User Manual for your Toshiba Satellite A135-S2266, here is Toshiba Support, and the manual,
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=1596140&rpn=PSAD6U&modelFilter=A135-S2266&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768663

I suggest you go up to the right, and click on -> Printer Friendly Version. It will then come up in another window, and it's a PDF file download. Watch the blue loading bar down at the right, and let this file FULLY download, before looking through it)

2.To change the Resolution, start with changing it in Windows.

Right-click on an empty space on your desktop screen. Go down and Left-click on Properties.
In the Display Properties window, Left-click on the -> Settings, tab.

Down on the left you will see Screen Resolution. Write down what it is now. In case you can increase the screen resolution, and it turns out to not be correct, you have the original screen resolution value to return to.

(You Left-click on the slider arrow. HOLD the mouse button down, slide it to the right for increased resolution, to the left for decreased resolution. Once you have the resolution you desire, go down to the right, and click on Apply. Then go down on the left, and click on OK)

Your HDTV also has a guide for changing resolution. I would use care with both the laptop, and the HDTV as, if you change the native resolution too far, (Laptop won't support your change), you'll be looking at a garbled mess.

Hello,

Please try to clean your DVD Disk Drive using a CD or DVD Disk Cleaner to clean the laser lens of the DVD Disk Drive like dust, dirt and other small particles that causes the lens hard to read or eventually not read the laser lens. IF you don't have a Disk cleaner you can find it in any computer shop or video shop in your place.

Thanks
