Hi,

To get into the BIOS of Toshiba notebooks, switch the machine off, then while holding down the ESC key, swtich the unit on. It will then ask you if you want to go to the BIOS. It might be that you set a password in the "Toshiba Settings" in the Control Panel. You'll have to disable this for the boot password to stop the password prompts. Now if you are unable to remove the password by the above method then we need to follow some technical stuff in the BIOS. Please follow the detailed article pasted bellow before you go ahead with removing or disabling the boot password from CMOS or BIOS. http://www.dewassoc.com/support/bios/bios_password.htm Thanks for contacting Fixya.

install properly the program of fingerprint scanner...

If your laptop has a recovery partition, boot from the recovery partition and repair windows. If not, attempt to obtain Windows recovery disks or a fresh copy of Windows to install on your laptop and reformat the Hard-Drive. When formatting a hard drive for windows, NTFS is the standard and recommended format.

push it in and it that doesnt work disassemble the tray and check for jams or email toshiba and give address and they will come fix it

It all depends on what you paid for it. Here is a link to one that I found just by going thru google. Its less then $100.00: http://base.google.com/base/a/309518/D18098966066436576899 Its also easy to install as well so for less then $100.00 you can have a great working laptop again.

Hi there.
There are a couple of ways to open the CD/DVD tray.
Firstly you can right click on the CD/DVD icon in my computer/computer and select eject from the sub menu, or if you look very close at the CD/DVD drive near the eject button for a very small hole, if you see one get a paperclip, straighten it out and push one end in the hole until the tray ejects.


Good luck and thanks for choosing FixYa!!

Issue: A "Password =" prompt may be displayed when the computer is turned on, even though no power-on password has been set. If this happens, there is no password that will satisfy the password request. If the computer is turned off and back on again, it is very likely that the same password prompt will appear. The computer will be unusable until this problem is resolved.
If the problem has not happened yet, you can prevent it from happening in the future by upgrading the BIOS to the newest version.
The occurrence of this problem on any particular computer is unpredictable -- it may never happen, but it could happen any time that the computer is turned on. If this problem does occur, it will be necessary to send the computer to a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider.

Resolution: If this problem has not yet occurred on your computer, download and install the latest BIOS version. Newer BIOS versions display a power-on password prompt only when a power-on password has actually been set via the BIOS Setup program.
The latest version of the computer's BIOS may be found at pcsupport.toshiba.com.
For more help, see Support Bulletin 98081213 Obtaining downloads and support docs from the Toshiba Support website.
If the problem has already occurred on your computer, then please make arrangements with a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider to have this problem resolved. Toshiba will cover the cost of this repair under warranty until Dec 31, 2010.

First try to reseat the memory, if it is still showing the same amount, then you may have a bad stick of memory, remove both and insert 1 stick into Dimm 1 slot and see if it still registers 894, then put the other in the same slot and see what it registers. Then try in the Dimm2 slot and see if you get a different reading Depending on the manufacturer, it may only show that amount since Windows shows memory different that the memory manufacturer.

Hope this helps.

sure..www.toshiba.com in the support and downloads section

This type of problem happens a lot. Usually its associated with heat and dirt(dust). A good cleaning will increase your air flow and probably fix your problem.

Either way you MUST see whats happening inside...it can certainly be insects clogging critical areas...I've seen it before.

Password recovery tools are software tools designed to guess your password. Many of them work by making super-fast guess after guess until the password is discovered. They can sometimes be difficult to use but if you really need in and there's no hope of remembering the password

its a driver issue most likly down to vista (as always) have you tried the latest updates from the microsoft website yet?

Keep your finger on the powerbutton for at least 10 seconds that should shut it off.

If that doesn't do it remove the battery from the bottom.

Now try restarting it and see what happens.

First try downloading the latest graphics and sound drivers for windows xp for your hardware.  They should be available from Toshiba's website look for a support section.
