20 Most Recent Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5904 Laptop Questions & Answers

Have this check to your nearest brand service center. There might be problems on the video card. This might be due to excessive heat that is frying the parts of the laptop. This is a common problem for Toshiba laptops. Kindly check the exhaust if there is a clogging dirt, this is the main reason of excessive heating aside from the prolong use of your laptop. My best advise is go to the nearest service center.

Yes it is possible. There is a memory card slot, from that you can easily import photos in Windows and then print them to your printer.

Had same issue, i replaced both the cable and the screen with 2 new screen and cables but still had the issue. my guess is its the connector on the motherboard where you plug in the LCD cable because my webcam dont even work (dont see it in device manager and my cam gets its power from the lcd cable)..

When you say power supply do you mean the power adapter? If so it is a very cheap thing to test and not a bad idea. You can also try taking the battery out and just trying plugging the laptop in without the battery and see if the laptop comes on without the battery in it at all.

All drivers are available at toshiba.com

Hope that helps.

If you checked with external monitor, the inverter board sits under the screen housing is more than likely the problem, failing that! the lamp inside the screen housing, either way a computer tech is recommended.

There are two ways to reset your Toshiba Laptop to factory settings.
First is using Recovery Media Disc and the second is the hidden partition on your hard drive.

If you're going to use Recovery Media Disc follow these steps:

If you have two or more recovery media disc try to insert first the disc that has a label of 1 of 2 or 1 of 3. Then turn of your laptop.
Make sure that the disc is inside. After that try to find the letter "C" key on your keyboard. Now turn on your laptop and keep tapping the letter "C" key. If you have successfully accessed the Boot Menu choose Toshiba Recovery Wizard.
After choosing the Toshiba Recovery Wizard there will be a big warning screen that will appear choose the option yes and after that you will have a series of option. Remember to choose always the first option after the big warning screen appears.

That's it. You will have a message that the Windows is initializing files.
That process will take 1-2 hours for it to finish.

Hidden Partition on the Hard Drive.

Turn on the laptop and as soon as the laptop turns on press and hold down the number 0 key (the number 0 it should be on the top of the keyboard beside the number 9 key) keep 0 pressed until Toshiba leading innovation appears. Usually you will have a beeping sound when you are trying to access the System Recovery of the Hard Drive. That's an indication that you have successfully accessed the Systrem Recovery of the laptop.
Wait for the screen that say Windows is loading files.
After that you will see a big warning screen the choose yes and
Choose 1st option always.
Cx able to initialize the partition.
Disconnect cables and turn off the wireless switch.
Recovery would take 1-2 hours for it to finish.

I did met with some similar situations in the past.
I think you should have the CPU fan checked or you may also require an external fan so as to cool down the processing unit.

The problem in fact is being caused by the overheating of the processing unit.

try turning it off and turning it back on with cord charger plugged in... it could have low battery charge or is burning up. make sure its cooled off and when using it use it on a hard surface.

you dont need to buy anything from radio shack, the inverter that you have will be just fine. i have used smaller and im sure cheaper inverters with no problem. i keep my company laptop constantly plugged in and charging all day everyday running service calls.

It is memory related issue.
First check in back side of laptop and refix RAM memory .
Also you have remove bugs in harddisk for that boot your laptop with recovery disk or bootable winxp disk then enter in recovery console mode then type in prompt "chkdsk /r" then press "y' then it fix error on harddisk.
For refix RAM you have open 1 small plate in back side of laptop it is for RAM module.

if it fades to white or grey or black, you are experiencing a GPU issue with the graphics processor on the motherboard. many different manufacturers are experiencing this with AMD boards. the only option is to contact your manufacturer and see if they any limited service enhancements like HP does.


good luck!

Recovery Disc has preinstalled Windows Vista. So don't worry. the Recovery disc came with the laptop do the rest job. only notice not to put laptop on soft surface like bed or a movinf table. plz ensure that laptop is in hard surface like table.

try to remove the battery fact then open it.. if the same problem..

check the inverter of your pc.. try ot use safe mode. restart your computer then press f8 select safe mode
