My Toshiba Satellite A135-S2246 CD/DVD isn't working properly?

If you don't know the password to the BIOS - you're screwed. There's absolutely no way to recover it back. You may take it to a computer repair shop or Toshiba Repair place and let them reset the BIOS Password.

To reset the BIOS password read the information from this link.

In case of your laptop the easiest method would be using software from Hiren's Boot CD as it's pretty hard to open it up and reach for the CMOS battery or the jumper.

Most toshiba will boot if you press F12 and a boot screen will appear . the bios is most of the time acessed through F1 or F2 try that and let me know what happens

If you forgot bios passord


I have a Satellite A135-S2356 that had the same problem. I tried the solution from PCTServices above and it worked great.

"Power unit off. Disconnect AC power. Remove battery. Remove the memory cover screw, memory cover and the memory modules. Peel back mylar from JOPEN1 solder pad. Short JOPEN1 solder pads for 30 seconds. Replace mylar. Replace memory modules. Replace battery. Power up unit. If all is well, replace memory cover and screw."
Just short the two little solder pads and it worked great!

hi good day,

in this situation you need to reformat and reprogram your laptop just to make sure all drivers are working.

hello there,  mu first question would be, "how old is the laptop" followed by "did it never dropped?"
after this my first guess is that there is a missing connection.
if not your motherboard is done and you need to change the laptop.

Try cleaning the lense / As well install correct driver also; If nothing works out best alternative is to replace the CD/DVD rom with new or working once.

i have the same issue before. i have all the drivers that will work for windows xp. hit me back if youre problem is still not fixed.
