Toshiba Satelite A65-S1762 hard drive problem

Try www.ebay.com type make and model of laptop and scroll through the list of parts, may find what you are looking for.

Hi

Remove the battery from the motherboard.
Try google to find exactly the location for this battery

Easy. Your HDD is located in front of the battery pack - to the side. The door is held in by one screw, and the HDD is held to a bracket by 2 screws. Any 2.5", 9.5mm height ATA IDE drives will do. Make sure you don't lose the door, bracket, and screws.

look for a wi-fi switch/button that enable or disable the wifi also check fn key combination

Just google the site of Toshiba.com and the they provide drivers you want .

Good luck;

Dont forget to rate:

Yes, you need to flip your laptop over and look for a removable compartment that requires you to unscrew a screw. Once you get the cover removed, you will see slots with either one or two memory modules installed. If one is installed, then you can add the additional memory module in the empty slot. If you have 2 already installed, then you will need to remove one and install your new module, which would only give you a total of 768 megs. Just slip the new memory in and press it down towards the motherboard and start your laptop..

Hi,
On most sytems the setup can be accessed by pressing either DEL, F2 or F1 shortly after turning on the computer.
Let me know if you have tried this or not.
Best wishes,

Take the laptop *and* your DVDs/CDs to a qualified technician.
It seems like the drive is "intermittently" failing, and needs to be replaced.

Hi there, it sound like a computer virus or trogan virus; it is a malicious program. You need to use an Anti-Virus or Anti-trogan program to get rid of it.

It could also be software problem like a corrupted file in your Operating System.

You should first format your hard drive and try it first and see what happens.
By formatting your hard drive, and re installing your Operating System, should correct the problem.

If not use the Anti-virus or Anti trogan program.

Sounds like video problem.

My wife has one of these and it died.

One file came up corrupt and then after I restored it the system would just drop power without warning.

Then would hang in safemode at an ATI sys file for the video.

It's on the mainboard. These also have built in RAM problems too.

You can try to remove any additional RAM you may have added in the bottom slot and try to boot.

My best advice is get a $20 best buy/staples 2.5" USB HDD enclosure and throw the HDD in there and toss the leftovers on Ebay with an explanation.

You'll get $100-150 for it to help buy yourself a new one.

Sell the LCD as one deal, the keyboard another, AC adapter another and so on. You'll get more that way.

I'd go Fujitsu. Toshiba used to be good but they went to **** to compete with HP/Compaq and sell at Walmart.

Gateway is also decent. The key is newer laptops run too hot and end up toast in a year or two.

Buy something a little less frantic in the GhZ dept. and it will last longer.

Pushing a laptop for gaming or 3D graphics is hardly it's best use. Manufacturers are too busy adding flashy selling points instead of practical features like lighter weight and longer battery life.
