I have a Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5934 notebook with Windows Vista Home Premium. I use Verizon wireless broadband to access the Internet. I can connect to the internet using their USB modems just fine, but I can't access the Internet via Verizon's 4G 4510L MiFi hotspot router. The router shows 5 bars signal from the cell tower, and my computer shows 5 bars from and connects to the MiFi router, but I have no Internet access! My wife has an old Compaq Presario mini-tower running Windows XP. It shows a 5 bar signal from the MiFi and has very good Internet access using a USB wireless adapter. After more than a dozen very long calls with Verizon tech suppor, the problem persists. I installed the USB wireless adapter from my wife's XP computer in my Vista computer, and I have the same problem: Good signals, connected, but no Internet access. It seems like the problem has something to do with my Toshiba Satellite notebook not being able to properly communicate with the MiFi and/or Internet Is anybody else having this problem? What do I need to do to determine what's wrong with my Toshiba, and how to fix it? Thanks!

Toshiba satellite l305d-s5934 Won't charge battery dont power On

POWER SUPPLY & BATTERY PROBLEM
If the laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

How can I restore my Toshiba L305D-S5895 laptop from the recovery disks when the laptop don't even turn on to windows or recognize the HDD? Please help or is the HDD wiped clean somehow? I have windows...

You should be able to boot the computer from the operating system recovery disk. Most likely your harddrive crashed, or one of (many) other issues. It could have just erased your MBR, in which case you can boot with a live cd and recover most (if not all) of your data.

I have a toshiba satellite L305d-S5934 laptop and when i turn it on all i get is a black screen and sound from when its coming on but nothing shows on the screen how can i fix that

Look carefully at the screen, you should see some very faint images while its booting up. IF this is the case you need to replace the inverter.
