If you run into the error "This device cannot start. Code 10 (often followed by a driver identifier, for example "This device cannot start. Code 10 in audio driver"), here is what it means. The Windows error "This device cannot start. Code 10 or "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" is a hardware error that most commonly means that you have a bad, missing, or incompatible device driver. So, for example, "This device cannot start. Code 10 in audio driver" means that you have a bad or missing or incompatible driver for your sound card. The technical explanation for this message, according to Microsoft, is this: "If the device has a FailReasonString value in its hardware key, that string appears as the error message. The driver or enumerator puts this registry string value there. If there is no FailReasonString in the hardware key, you receive the following error message: This device cannot start. (Code 10)" What does that mean in plain English? It means that if the device which is throwing the error has added its own custom error text to your Windows system when the device was installed, then when the device encounters an error, you will see the custom error message specific to that device. But if it doesn't have its own custom error message, then Windows uses its own generic error message for devices, which is "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" Microsoft recommends that when this happens, you click "Update Driver" to update the drivers for the device. You can also start the Windows troubleshooting wizard by going to the general properties tab of the device, and clicking on "Troubleshoot". Before doing this, be sure that you have the correct and most up-to-date versions of the driver(s) for that device. You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the device, using the disk which came with it. Finally, you can go to the website of the device's manufacturer, and check their downloads or support section for current, up-to-date drivers. Go to Toshiba support site look for Toshiba Satellite A135 drivers, download the one for your windows 32 or 64 bit install, restart and off you go. Regards, Mike

have you tryed going into your display settings?

Try connecting at different times of the day. It may not be a problem with your ISP not you. There are certain times of the day when my connection drops by 90%. My hardware is the same so its just down to a local bottle neck. Connect your ISP. If you run Speedtest or another connection testing application you can get some stats on how fast your connection is running. With this information you can contact your ISP. http://www.speedtest.net/

The keyboard and touchpad each have separate ribbon connectors that can get disconnected from the motherboard. After gaining access by undoing case screws, the repair is easy remembering to push in the flat retaining bar that keeps the ribbon connectors tight against the motherboard.

I believe you will need a Bluetooth adapter for that.Only $4

Does your computer have bluetooth software? You can look in Control Panel for the Bluetooth software click to open go to settings. If you do not have it you can get a bluetooth USB device.

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. Please click on this link and follow myinstructions to identify the fault and possible fix :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3598095-faulty_laptop_lcd_screen

Either your motherboard, CPU, or GPU have fried. You can try to re-seat your ram but if there is no beep/beeps and nothing but a power light, and fan running for a couple seconds those are the only options. If your handy you might get lucky and get it to work for a little (as long as you have thermal paste) Remove heatsink, & fan, then the CPU blow out the connections with compressed air (to go the extra mile electronic cleaner) then let dry for a few hours reassemble, hoping for the best the whole time mind you.

If you are not using your laptop on a flat surface, it may beobstructing the cooling vents on the bottom of the laptop. Your laptop fanmay be faulty and not spinning freely, in this case replace the fan.
Check the fan and heat sink assembly and remove the dust, loosen the dust anduse a can of compressed air to clear away the dust. A laptop fanassisted cooling pad may solve your problem

It could end up being a hard drive problem, or a power supply problem. Make sure your power cord is plugged in completely to your laptop when you turn it on. To verify you have a successful power connection, remove the battery from the laptop and just use the power cord. If it does not come on at all when you are just using the power cord, try wiggling around the connection. Most power cords have a light that comes on when it is plugged into the wall. If you do not see a light, try a different outlet. If you still do not have a light, you may want to try replacing the power cord.

Hello

OK, the best and easiest way of doing this will be to go to your nearest computer store and buy yourself an blue tooth adapter. This adapter works on the same principle as a flash drive. You plug the adapter into your USB port and enables your laptop to be blue tooth capable.
This adapter will cost you round about $10.


Please feel free to let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind regards
Andrea

Hi kipspal2,

You can adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad according to your requirement. Just follow the instructions below:
1) Click on Start.
2) Go to Control Panel
3) Double Click on 'Mouse'.



4) The Mouse Properties dialogue box pops up.
5) In the pointer options tab, under Motion, there will be a slider under 'Select a pointer speed'.



6) Move the slider with your mouse towards 'Slow'. Now you will notice that when you move your mouse, the sensitivity has decreased.
7) Apply the settings and Click OK.

Hope this information was helpful.

Thank you for using fixya,
