On some models of TOSHIBA laptops you can access the system restore partition by tapping on the 'zero' (0) during boot.

This will erase EVERYTHING on your drive and reset it to a "out of the box" state. So be sure to back up anything you want to keep before doing a system restore.

The keyboard is actually probably the easiest part of the laptop to replace...if you can find one.

Here is your manual with the parts list:

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.

I doubt a Windows 8 driver will work in your case. I would use Windows 7 or 10. You may need to use a USB graphics adapter in place of the internal. Many USB video adapters are more useful for that sort of thing.

What version of windows?

Do you still hear (feel) that the cooling fans are working ? Maybe the fans are clogged by dust and the processors are overheating! Try a vacuum fast clean on the exhaust hot air holes, it can help!

Hi, You need to set your bios power management. Press F2 after pushing the power button then find power management and set disable for a wake up with any keys

I have had even new sticks of ram not work in one machine, but are fine in another. Put the old ram back in and make sure everything works like you want, then try the ram again. If they are still giving problems, unfortunately it looks like even more ram is your solution.

gmail works of the speed of your connection if your d-link is faulty it will course connection problems try another router or connect straight to your modem [if your on cable] if adsl try doing a speedtest first.

Try opening Device Manager in Control Panel and deleting the driver. Reboot, plug the mouse in again and see if that works.
Alternatively try restoring your PC to before your last update.

Remove the battery and see if it starts up fine, if not then try the following: 1. Unplug your charger cord. 2. Remove the battery. 3. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds or longer 4. Now plug back in the power/charger cord. 5. Now put the battery back in. 6. See if it starts up now, laptops often get stuck in hibernate mode.

May be a faulty wifi card. But check Adapter settings in control panel to ensure wifi card is "enabled" and check device manager to ensure correct wifi driver is installed.
