It it normal, especially flash videos.

2007 PC it is so is not too old. the new PC in the box (NIB) the papers in the box told you to charge it first. for 12 hour , or over night did you do that? both batteries, in the PC must be charged first; and the big battery loves to fail if abused. even 2 years old . abuse is over or under charged. most times modern PCs avoid the overcharge act. but under charged is easy, just throw the PC in a closet fore 2 years and bingo, battery is bad or degraded huge.

Question edited to remove phone number. Never do that!! We have 12 million views here a year or which 5% are scammers. Question moved from Toshiba Televisions to computers. Take it to a computer shop and they will take it apart and fix the motherboard to remove the BIOS Password.

You can put a Power On Password of your Toshiba, this will prevent unauthorized access to youe laptop. If you forget this password then you will have problems unlocking your Toshiba.
The Power on Password is configured in the BIOS under sercuity settings.
You can also put a password on the hard drive and if your Toshiba is stolen and they remove the hard drive out of your Toshiba into another laptop they cannot get access to the data on your hard drive.
NOTE if you forget the hard disk password you will not be able to access your hard disk.

Check out either the audio drivers (start > settings > control panel > system > hardware > device manager >check for exclamation mark in front of the audio device) and update if nessersary,
Or the audio mixer levels from the audio related icon at the taskbar. In case it's missing go start > settings > control panel >sound devices > mark the checkbox "volume icon at the taskbar"

After the above you will be able to hear audio from your computer but in case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post.

Normally every Lap is coming wit internal mic; so

1- Simply check your mic is mute or not

2 - Check your mic volume

3 - Use sound recorder that comings with windows (just record & play)

4 - Use an external MIC (known as working) with sound recorder

5 - Check in control panel->sound and audio device --> default recording device and Voice recoding device as your system’s built-in audio device (some times it’s changing when we installing b-tooth deice)

6 - Check device manager --> under sound audio controller for any issues

7 – Uninstall & install completely your Audio Device driver with default settings.

** If you didn’t solve your prob; my advice is take your lap to a good technician with component level Repair skills.

Thank you & Best Regards

try to update your media player.if possible windows media player 11. If still it doesnt work try to check your direct X installed components. Try to update it also. next try to check your display driver settings maybe your display driver isn't working. check it by running the run command and type dxdiag to check your computer system go to the display settings and check if there are any installed driver.

You need to update the dvd softwear. Check the default settings for playback of media,if it is set to windows media it won't work if you hav'nt installed the correct updates. Choose the Toshiba dvd player as the default player and it should work. If you prefer windows media then you can get the updated codecs from ' free-codecs.com ' Easier still,try uninstalling your windows media player and installing windows media 11, this will usually resolve the problem.

Go to Toshiba Support online and enter your model number under product support. Download the drivers for the dvd drive.
Follow instructions in this article & this article to update the drivers.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

I had this problem for a LOONNGG time. I couldnt figure out what the heck was going on or why it was overheating. I almost resorted to buying a new computer, but thankfully I didnt. About 1am this morning it did it to me again. So i decided to clean the bottom and make sure it was clean. I cleaned it, and just out of curiousity, took apart the exhaust fan housing, and O. M. G. was there a TON of dust and junk in there. It took me about 45 minutes to clean it out thuroughly because I am not very computer savy when it comes to taking them apart and putting them back together correctly. But I would be my paycheck that if you took of your exaust fan housing, and then the individual covers for the fan and inspected the fans, and the exhaust ports themselves, you will find your problem. Since i cleaned it, it hasnt turned off once and the fans hardly run at all! I hope this helps guys!

Download the 8187b drivers from Realtek's site. You then need to go in and edit the .inf file to read like this:

;;****************************************************************************
;; IDs for 98SE/ME/2K/XP
;;****************************************************************************
[Realtek]
%RTL8187B.DeviceDesc% = RTL8187B.ndi, USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8197&REV_0200
%RTL8187B.DeviceDesc% = RTL8187B.ndi, USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8189&REV_0200

After the edit, install as usual from the device manager.

The error could be connected to the advanced system care. Have you uninstalled any protective software lately?
It would seem that as the computer is starting it is trying to load a program that is either corrupt or missing, generally a program like reg cleaner or other utility program.
If its a case you have removed a program, try installing it and see if that works.
Get another copy of the advanced sys care program and reinstall that.
If this doesn't work, get back to me.

I have a Satellite A135-S2356 that had the same problem. I tried the solution from PCTServices above and it worked great.

"Power unit off. Disconnect AC power. Remove battery. Remove the memory cover screw, memory cover and the memory modules. Peel back mylar from JOPEN1 solder pad. Short JOPEN1 solder pads for 30 seconds. Replace mylar. Replace memory modules. Replace battery. Power up unit. If all is well, replace memory cover and screw."
Just short the two little solder pads and it worked great! I thought I would have to send it back to the manufacture but I am back in buisness. Thanks for the help.

You might be able to log in as the Administrator. On the logon screen press Ctrl+Alt+Del and hold. It will give you a window to input username and password. Type in "Administrator" and leave the password blank. If that doesn't work, you can try a couple other generic passwords. If that doesn't work either, you can try logging on as "Guest" in the same fashion.

If neither of those options work, you will most likely need to reinstall windows, but there is a way to save all your files before you do that.
