Sounds like you need to change the CMOS Battery. Most times you will have to disassemble the laptop to get to it. It is on the motherboard somewhere. Looks like a silver nickel and once you see it pop it out with a flat head screw driver. The normal size is CR2032 but check yours. They can be purchased at Walmart, your grocery store or drug store for less than $5.00

REplace the flexible cable that feeds the screen from the motherboard if it is damaged or just plug the cable in as it may not be connecting properly.

Toshiba laptop L505 won't turn on

Remove main battery and turn on, next! check the power supply for correct voltage, if okay! sub the ram out one out a time and power on and repeat. If still no result, the DC jack in the laptop is a common issue, suggest a professional to assess.

Sony IFC-218 clock radio runs 8-9 minutes fast

Hold the 'Clock' button until the display flashes. It will first show the year, next press on 'Clock' with show the month, then the day, then the time. Use + and - to set your time and press 'Clock' again.

Don't expect this clock to set the time by itself. It is not an atomic clock.

    The fan on my satellite L645D-S4050 runs constantly and drains the battery very quickly. Battery life is about an hour as opposed to the advertised 4 hours. I have seen mention of installing and...

    First Visit http://support.toshiba.com up top Click "Download" and search out your Toshiba Model Laptop. You could try a BIOS upgrade for it, it won't hurt anything, but I seriously doubt your fan is draining the battery that fast, even if it does run all the time. It's possible there is dust in there causing the fan to run all the time, or your power management settings need adjusting. Although the BIOS upgrade, if applicable, may help the fan, and should, frankly, be run anyway if available. I'd be seeking another battery to try, or maybe just buy a new one. If you get 4 hours you're good to go, from my experience laptop batteries die and just need replacing.

    Toshiba a60-155. keep getting press f1 setup screen. have to enter date. keys 1 and 2 don't seem to work. can I bypass this page

    Don't think you can bypass this thing because the RTC (Real Time Clock) battery is, most likely, dead. But if you can replace the just the keyboard, then you'll still have a working computer. I'd leave the RTC battery alone and use software (such as Atomic Clock Sync) to set the date and time automatically every time the computer boots into Windows.
