This is an old laptop and it wasn't design for Vista and windows & .., but you can try to install it by the device itself...So, either identify the device (wifi card name ) by the properties in the device manager ..or use this program to do that and usually offers links for drivers..if they are available ..
if not...you will have to see if there is any driver available by the wifi card itself ..Otherwise if you need this operation system and the wireless feature you will have to change the card with one from another model that has drivers...
This is the program I mentioned...Its called EVEREST and will analize and identify all about you computer ..devices by factory name and serial ...and will also give options for driver location on the bottom of the page on each device ..if available ..

Go to this page, select the 'Downloads' tab, set the second drowpdown menu under 'Refine Search by:' to 'Display', and see if any of the drivers made available there suits your needs.
Just my 2 cents...

All IDE hard drives are cross compatable. I would think you have eaither bent a pin inside the carriage compartment or your IDE adapter is either not pushed on the new HD good or is bad.

Check the RAM. Reseat the RAM card.

Either the HDD controller is bad or the HDDs you used have bad sectors.HDD regenerator software alot of times will correct the bad sectors and then the OS will install correctly and function smoothly.

the infra red i dont know anything about, sorry. the power settings, most of the time are in control pannel .
if you haven't already solved your problem, try going thru
'control pannel', then ' performance & maintenance',
then 'power options'. anyway, thats where mine are located so maybe you'll get lucky and solve one issue. good luck!

i found driver from this site, http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=380604&rpn=PT930U&modelFilter=M1&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768664

Sounds like the power adapter/charger module inside the laptop.
Laptops not so easy to trouble shoot as desktops.
Might be a USB short if that makes it worse?

I assume everyone else can - if so try these suggestions
This is quite a long reply and may appear very technical - however, have a read through and see what you can do Answer.The following assums that your wireless connection is working and other PCs are able to connect:
There could be quite a lot of reasons you are not getting a connection to the wireless - some common issues

1. The wireless is switched off
2. Firewall may be blocking
3. Remove profile
4. Something else on the PC blocking

so quite a few things to check - so lets start in order

1. Wireless Switch:- Most laptops have a wireless switch - some use a physical switch, other use a combination of the FN key + one of the F keys to toggle on/off - make sure this is on
2. Firewall:- The firewall my be blocking access - try to disable the firewall. Often programs like Norton, Mcafee etc, when the subscription runs out can cause issues and need to be uninstalled, to uninstal you may need to use the removal tool available on thier websites. One of the ways to test this, is to do a PING test. Press the "Windows key" {bottom left of the keyboard} and at the same time press the "R key", now in the search box that appears - type "CMD", a black box will now appear on your screen, in that box type the following "ping google.com" if you get 4 replies then you can access the internet and your firewall may well be blocking the access try disabling the firewall.
3. Remove wireless profiles http://mgmcc.forumotion.net/networking-tutorials-f17/removing-an-existing-wireless-profile-t109.htm
4. Safemode:- Try to boot the PC into "safe mode with networking". To do this switch the PC on and now as it starts keep tapping the F8 key untill a menu appears, from that menu choose "safe mode with networking". If you can now connect to the internet,then there is something blocking your access on the PC when it starts normally - post back a comment and if that's the case, We can try doing a "clean boot" and try to identify the startup or process that is causing the issue

A very useful tool to use for wireless issues is xirrus, http://www.xirrus.com/library/wifitools.php If you can copy the program onto the PC thats not working and install and run, this test if your adapter is working and also will display all the networks broadcasting in your area. Which will prove the hardware works.

you need to replace speakers

Sounds like power supply is bad. You will have to take it to a pc repair shop. If there is no sign at all like any green lights or even amber it needs to be repaired if possible. Hope this answers your question.

a little hard to understand your question, but i think i know where you're going with it.....so i will give it a shot....assuming you are running Vista, go to Start>Control Panel>Network and Internet>Network and Sharing Center>Manage Network Connections>then Right click your connection type, select "properties", highlight "Internet Protocal Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), hit the properties tab, and check the box to obtain IP and Server addresses automatically

no you just put new hdd and run recovery

you need to install another window the window will no start.

The hinge can't be repaired, but it can be replaced. It's feasible to do it yourself if you're tech savy. Just look online for guides that show you how to replace the hinge on any laptop and you should get an idea how to do the replacement step by step for this specific model. Most hinge mechanisms use the same system. I work for Computer Repair NYC and i have to fix this problem a lot, you can get the hinge on ebay.
