There are several things you can try. First, I would recommend resetting the router by unplugging the power cord than reconnecting. Many times, that solution works. Next, right click on the network connection icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen (normally it looks like two monitor screens). It should bring up a list of choices one of which is connect to internet. When you click on that, it should show all the wireless networks available in your area. Your wireless network should be listed too, show highlight that by left clicking on it, then, at the bottom of that screen, there should be a button that says "connect". Click on that, and you should be able to connect. When you were connected using an ethernet cable, were there any connectivity problems(e.g. losing your internet connection)? If so, you may have to upgrade the firmware to your wireless router. For that you would have to contact the manufacturer's technical support people and they can assist you with downloading the file. Good luck!

What's your problem?When I try to boot my Toshiba L455-S5975 all I can get is a black screen and a blinking cursor. What can I do to solve this problem?

Try turning on your laptop and then pressing the f8 key repeatedly, then you should be presented with a set of options, one of these should be safe mode, unless you are trying to factory reset, but anyway if that doesnt work you could try turning it on but pressing 0 (zero) instread of the f8 key

I am in need of a repair manual for a Toshiba Satellite L455-S5975 laptop in order to replace the LCD screen. I have searched everywhere, but no luck. Does anyone have a source? Thank you.

Not sure if you will find one... Process on toshibas is:

Pop top cover (sometimes also secured with a few screws on side or bottom of laptop) near monitor base above keyboard to access LCD cable and mount screws
Unplug cable and remove monitor mounting screws (Under plate, on back where cables plugin, and sometimes on bottom)
Take monitor (on flat surface) and remove screw covers with needle so you can put them back on later.
Remove all screws
Use plastic credit card and run around outside lip of screen case until removed
Remove LCD mounting screws
Remove LCD and inverter
Remove LCD brackets and inverter from panel
Replace panel and start working backwords.

My Toshiba Satellite L455-S5975 will not stay on. The machine will power up because I can hear it but the screen will remain black, then the system will shut down. Can someone help?

There is probably a short or your version of your laptop crashed. You might want to take it in and get disgnostics run on it. Hope this helps!!
