Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5983 Sorry if this is choppy but I kept getting use only legal characters and I can't seem to figure out what it is referring to I looked into the reflow process but when I dismantled the laptop GPU was locked in with a plastic lock. My question is if I can remove the GPU just like the CPU cant I just buy the GPU and replace it Do I really need to buy a whole new motherboard if the GPU in NOT soldered to the MB? Thank you for listen to me ramble and in advance for any assistance.

The GPU in every laptop is soldered in place, if you have a lot of experience with reflowing then you can try to pull the GPU and replace it but a lot of the time it's actually more cost effective to get a replacement MB and sell the one that's having issues. Because the GPU may not be the only part that has gone out or it maybe another part that has gone out and is keeping the GPU from powering or outputting signals

Testimonial: "I wish I would have taken pictures of it before I put it back together to show what I am talking about. Am I looking at the wrong thing then as it is not soldered to the motherboard, you can use a quarter and unscrew the housing from the GPU. Maybe I am just confused. Thanks for the input"

SOURCE: Can I connect my LG

Ok in order to hook up the laptop to the TV you have 2 options
First option.
Buy something like this
http://www.amazon.com/Sewell-Converter-All-One-Cable/dp/B003BVVYSM it will directly interface your laptop with your tv. The benefit will be you will get sound to your tv from the laptop

second option.
you will need a vga to hdmi cable like this one
avatar23454_5.jpg
you can buy this here
now this option will only let you have just the video from your laptop on the television because a VGA cable is a video only cable and port.
I hope this helps you.

Toshiba satellite l505D-s5983 Keeps freezing and going unresponsive

This sounds like ram memory issue, remove one stick of ram and power up, no change, remove second piece and replace the first, if this works the memory stick in your hand is defective.

I connect my Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5983 to my Dynex flat screen tv and if so what cable do I need? Thanks

In order to connect your laptop to your tv's display you will need a VGA to component or composite cable. The VGA part is connected to your laptop on the left side next to the network jack and then the composite or component part to the corresponding inputs on your tv. Here's a site that sells them just to give you an idea of what you will need. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10235&cs_id=1023503&p_id=2170&seq=1&format=2
You should be able to find a similar cable at your local electronics store.

Try a different mouse, that would prove where the problem lies. Looks to me like the mouse is failing.
