20 Most Recent Toshiba Satellite A205-S5812 Notebook Questions & Answers

you can try a couple of things, on the back of the router is a small reset button, you will need a pen or pencil to push this button, hold it in for 10 sec. or so, until the router resets, and try to connect then, or unplug router, leave off for 10-15 sec. plug back in and wait fir it to reset this way, or a more involved way is to go to your DOS or command prompt window, type in this as follows

ipconfig /release

(wait a few seconds for this to do its thing)

ipconfig /renew
(if this doesnt work ask your parents if they put a block on the router)

Hiya..just my opinion..forget media centre, download VLC player..It will ask if you want it as your default media plater..Say Yes (it plays all formats) if that doesn`t solve the missing DVD player, update your drivers from the Toshiba site. Failing THAT.. Google " CD/DVD run repair" I have had the same problem and there are a few free programs to fix problems. Just ideas of the top of my head . good luck Pete [email protected]

If the boot password is set and you do not remember (?) it, you must take the machine to a Toshiba Service Center to have the password erased. It will cost you something if the machine is out of warranty. You may be asked to show proof of ownership.

Click Start - My Computer then Right click on the DVD drive - click on Properties - Click on Hardware tab - click on the DVD drive to highlight this drive then click Properties - then click DVD Region tab.
Now you can change the region.
It shows the current Region - Enter a new Region and click OK

If you have run out of Region changes, please let me know and I can advise you how to get around this problem.

1. Take the battery out of the laptop & try to turn on the laptop using power adapter only. If the computer turns on, then the battery is defective & needs to be replaced.
2. Make sure the power adapter is not defective. Test the output voltage of the power adapter using a voltmeter. Compare the voltmeter reading to the nominal value written on the adapter or the laptop.
3. Make sure the DC jack is not loose or broken. A loose DC jack will need to be re-soldered. A broken one will need to be replaced.
4. If you have another processor which is compatible with your laptop's model, try swapping processors & test to see if the laptop will work.
5. The power button could be bad.
6. The motherboard could be defective & needs to be replaced.

If I could know the Reason why do you need to do so wd be better.
but with Laptops, to reset Bios is not a good idea, better is to get them upgraded with the same version.
Else first try loading optimum defaults

Open the memory cover under the laptop and locate 2 solder connections marked by XXX....place a small screwdriver on the 2 contacts while turning on the laptop and that's it.

There is NO way that it can be fixed OTHER than returning it to the manufacturers or agent. They have proprietory Software Challenge Codes and this will do the job. However they cahrge for this usually around $125. Also one must provide proof of purchace and ownership. You can also find places online too, however they also cost.

It's hard to find a step by step instruction on how to replace a busted backlight because of different model concerns.

If somehow you manage to get through on your lcd mainframe with careful disassembly of the back cover.. then you should watch this. A 2 part recorded video on how to remove a backlight inverter for a laptop. And a video on how to Install a laptop inverter here are the 3 links:

Why would you want to disable it? Chances are it is a SATA HDD installed.

The simplest way to remove a BIOS password is to simply remove the CMOS battery wait for a few minutes and then put it back in, it will do that for you. Since you have a laptop it may be a bit difficult to do that as the CMOS is on the motherboard.

Charger is faulty, must get new one.
