I have a Toshiba laptop that when it changes pages I get this flash that looks like a neg. photo, any suggestions on what is going on?

1) Remove ALL power. Remove the AC adapter (Charger), and Battery.

2) Suggest lay a soft Static Free cloth, on the table you're working on. Helps prevent scratching the table, and laptop.

Use a multi-compartment container for the various screws you will remove.
Label each compartment for the area the screw/s come out of.
SOME screws look VERY similar to other screws.
Advise DO NOT mix them up.

You're going to remove the Top Cover. BEFORE this is removed you're going to need your ESD wrist str-ap on.

Electro Static Discharge

Your body carries Static electricity. Static WILL fry out, (Short Circuit), the delicate hardware components in a computer.
Wear an ESD wrist strap, have it's alligator clip attached to a good ground source; and your laptop is safe from Static.

Average cost is $3 to $6. Here is but one example,

The Processor (CPU) is the MOST susceptible hardware component to Static Shock!

Don't wear an ESD wrist strap, and have it's alligator clip attached to a good ground source; and you can use your laptop for an expensive doorstop, or conversation piece. (Oh that? Yeah, Static got it")

Remove ALL power. Remove the AC adapter (Charger), and Battery.
Go to Step 1 and follow through to Step 17 on Page 3.

The Keyboard Bezel has to be removed,
Keyboard,
Display Assembly,
Top Cover. (Palm Rest Cover),
plus the other components to facilitate removal of the above.

In Step 17 you see the Speakers. They are a large unit that can only be accessed for removal, after removing the Top Cover.
Look for a part number on them. It is a Toshiba part number.

Put Toshiba + part number, in your browser search bar, and look for replacements. (No -> + )

Just for a point;

The above speakers look similar (To me), to the ones in the Irisvista link. (Pictorial disassembly guide)
Searching just now out of curiosity, I saw different styles shown, for the Satellite A205.

Point being I would want to see a PHOTO of what was being sold, to see if it is the right one. A lot of ads for Toshiba Satellite A205 speakers, didn't post a photo.

Could be different speaker examples for the different model numbers, of the model series.
(A205 is the Model Series. The number/letters after that designate the Model Number)

Seems that Toshiba STSA205 is the number, but you will know when you remove the speakers.

Have you tried another Cord with the EXACT same power specs? Remove the battery. Has the cord/charger/transformer been damaged? Has the AC jack been damaged? Due to pulling on the cord while plugged in? At the AC jack "wiggle" the plug a bit to see if the plug and AC jack are making a good connection or Loose. Sounds like a loose AC connection.

1) Make SURE you remove ALL power before removing the Harddrive.
Remove the AC adapter (Charger) and Battery.

The only solution is go to www.pwcrack.com check the top part of the page click "bios" scroll down to Toshiba and click, next scroll down the page for your model, Toshiba Satellite 4060CDT- Parallel Security Access Key- $39.50 click it so the right part is sent to you.

How to get to the CMOS battery

The Toshiba Satellite A215-S4747 Notebook PC's CMOS battery, is soldered to a bracket on the bottom of the motherboard.
The laptop has to be completely disassembled to access it.

In this photo showing the bottom of the motherboard, the CMOS battery is in the middle,

Go to the 11th line down. The one that starts with Satellite A10
Go across and click on A215

This is a PDF file. It may take up to 30 seconds before you see the first page, and additional time to fully download.
Suggest you let the file download all the way before looking through it.

1) Remove ALL power to the laptop. Remove the AC adapter (Charger) and Battery

2) Observe Anti-Static Precautions
Suggest you bu and wear an ESD wrist strap, and connect the alligator clip to a good ground source.
Average price is around $3 to $6.

3) Use a multi-compartment container for the various screws you will remove.
Mark each compartment for the area the screws come out of.
There may be as many as 60 screws and 12 different types.
Do Not mix them up.

(You can use a clean egg carton in a pinch. Mark each egg holder)

It's a White wire, and a Black wire.

I have no idea why it's named a COAX cable (Coaxial cable) since there are TWO separate wires,
and no shielding on the wires. (Just plastic insulation over the wire)

Hi There, try booting in safe mode to download your photos to a flash drive or cd. When you first turn on laptop, and see the curser upper left side of screen, keep pushing "f8" to enter safe mode boot. Select "safe mode with networking" and continue on to save pics. Good Luck...

This, is a link to Toshiba Tecra A2 disassembly guide, with photos and instructions. The Satellite A55 uses the same disassembly instructions.

I don't have any information on a users guide at present, but will post back when I do.

This sounds like microsoft have updated updated windows quietly and in dooing so have broken the drivers for the card reader or dvd - another alternative is your onboard memory is faulty - the first should be easy to fix - go to the toshiba driver page here ->
www.toshiba.com
and look for the downloads pages for your machine - see if there are new driver packages and install them. If this does not fix the problem then I suggest downloading a small memory testing program - available from many places - just google - and check your system memory for faults.
if it does show faulting then contact toshiba for replacement memory if its still warrantied or take it to a reputable dealer if not

hope this helps - cheers

hi
