20 Most Recent Toshiba Satellite C655-S5082 Laptop Questions & Answers

Ran into this 1 before a few times on the 600 series Cs, once was a driver issue from a virus left unrepaired and the second time was a bios error which required me to obtain the bios update and reflash the bios, not an easy project at all, but watch the youtube how to videos and im sure you could handle it :).

Using a volt meter check the output of your adapter. If not within specs it is no good.

some laptops will run with out battery and at some point replace it.

What lg device is it that you're trying to pair with the laptop?

Check that your drivers for your touchpad aren't missing/corrupted and update them if necessary under the Devices menu. If that doesn't work, back up your work and do a system restore. If -that- doesn't work, you need to call in for repair service and I'd suggest getting a USB mouse in the meantime.

Of course, if you have the software or are able to find the correct drivers that are compatible with your Operating System. You need touse a USB cable, or an Ethernet cable. If it has wireless communication capabilities then you can also connect it to the computer through the wireless.

Is there a bent pin in the dc jack on the computer? Did you get the right charger? Is the DC jack on the computer loose?

Make sure the wireless driver is installed. You can download the wireless and 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. Please click on this link: - http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp

It isn't the government. It is a SCAM!Even if you pay the extortion money, nothing changes.I received this information from another expert, in an alike problem.The solution is to remove the internet access to the computer.Then put the Restoration disk in your optical drive. (CD/DVD drive)When asked choose Full Install. Destructive Installation.The computer will go back to day 1 from the factory.ALL personal information will be lost.ALL installed, or downloaded programs, will be lost.Regards,joecoolvette

you may need to enter the bios setup and change the setup for the hard drive from sata to ide connection then it should recognize the new hard drive then simply install windows to your new h/d

If you have HDMI out on your laptop, it should send the sound and picture to your TV (make sure appropriate drivers are installed). If you only have VGA out, then it will not send sound. Tthe only other option is if your TV has Audio IN (either 3.5mm headphone jack, or RCA Left/Right), then you could connect the headphone jack of your laptop to the TV that way.

If your laptop appears to boot up and the hard disk LEDflashes, then the problem is probably a back light fault. This can be a faultyinverter or a faulty CCFL lamp.

Look at the transformer/power pack and somewhere it will tell you the volts, amps and watts. My dell 15.4" PC takes a "65 watt" power pack. Get an inverter thet is at least twice as big in my opinion.
A standard size is 300 watts. I would be sure it has at least one USB charger as well. They start at about $25.00 and go up.

Here are three at random.

Have a safe trip!

Sounds like you have a BIOS problem, it needs to be flashed to the latest BIOS version, you have to check your manufacturer's support website and download the correct one for your specific hardware and model.

Good luck!

Could be also a defective LCD backlight lamp.
Please refer to the following article for some tips on diagnosing & fixing this issue:

Most of the time, the bios password can not be reset unless you pull out the CMOS battery and do a reset switch.
Shortly, you will need to bring it to someone if you aren't comfortable opening the laptop. If you are comfortable, open it up, remove all the screws and pieces and then when you get to the motherboard (big green thing with a bunch of electronic looking things soldered to it), find a battery that looks like a watch battery. Carefully remove it and let it sit for at least 24 hours (with no other power sources connected) and that should clear it out.
