Hi charles1700m,

There are 2 options if you want to Restore the laptop to its factory settings. You can either use the Recovery Disk if you have one or use the Hard Disk Recover. I've posted here the guide on how to do a Hard Disk Recovery. Just follow the instructions on the manual.

Manual 1 and Manual 2

Rate me if this helps so that I can help others. Thanks for using Fixya.

Is the battery charged? Might be a defective charger.

sounds like windows is corrupt. in a worst case scenario, you might need to reload the OS. can you boot into safe mode by pressing f5 during the startup? if it does the same thing in safe mode, you'll need to find your system restore disks and boot to them and then you can try to do a repair install of the OS. if it doesn't work, i would recommend a clean install.

Can you reboot and get into windows or is now corrupt?

What do you mean by 'uninstalled XP'??

You cant uninstall it unless you format the drive, in which case the recovery discs are now probably useless as they rely on a folder on the HDD called i386.

Recovery discs normally dont have the OS on them, they rely on the I386 folder to gather info about the computer and then restores it to the state when it was new.

If you can acess the system, reboot and go into the bios and change the boot sequence to CD, then insert the first recovery disc. then save the settings and the computer will reboot and start the recovery process again, this should clear up the error.

If it does not it will be because the i386 folder is missing in which case you can either explore the recovery discs for it or you will have to buy a copy of Windows XP.

Hi, Exists a formula that is that of the memory(report) ram base multiplies for 4 and this way the interval is placed in: I initiate + Panel of control + system + avanced + performance (setting) + Label Advanced + virtual memory (chance) + custom size (initial size = memory base) (Max. size = base memory x 4)

Well first off is do you hear any sounds indicating its been detected?if not its possible the card reader may need a driver update, which you can do by going to the device manager and locating the removable media device click on it and select update. after that it may work, also check for lights near the card reader slot. (btw its also possible to connect your camera via usb camera try it first its easier)

Hi, according to what you indicate in 2 occasions utilizastes the DVDs given for toshiba and they operated correctly and already not, it is possible that your equipment has gone to guarantee and they have replaced the card mother and they forgot to do the DMI to him in order that it recognizes the discs of recovery, they can do alone it in an ASP, for what I recommend you go to the nearby.

some problem with ur key board..try to open it and clean it if possible...

Look over your keyboard very carefully and make sure none of the keys are stuck.

possible that keyboard electrical connector or other connector was inadvertently disconnected. must open case and investigate further.

no there is not a order for that but you can try one by one like that you'll see if that is detected or not so if any one is not detected or does what it was on the first time may be there is a bad one so try it

Try pressing the following 2 keys simultaneously- Fn & F5. Do this only once. If this doesn't fix the problem, be sure to hit both of them simultaneously 1 more time to set the machine back in it's original state. What you are doing is switching between the internal monitor and an external monitor, should you ever have a reason to attach one.
