SKYPE MICROPHONE PROBLEM
If the person cannot hear you then, either your microphonedriver not installed or not working OR the microphone is not configured inSkype.
To test your microphone then click on Start - All Programs - Accessories -Entertainment - Sound recorder. Then record your voice and then play it back.If this is OK then the microphone need to be configured in Skype.
To configure the microphone - Open Skype - Tools - Options -Audio Settings for the Microphone THEN click on Save.

Try to upgrade sound driver first. If still your mic on mainboad is not working. just use addon usb sound card for your laptop.

Check which microphone device u have set up. Try changing it around. Also try just speaking closer to the microphone and into the mic. Some mics just are not good.

I would suggest you get the main board checked. I can understand if replacing the screen thrice hasn't resolved the issue then either the cables / the main board must be the issue.

Try to update the BIOS by checking the manufacturer's website for any BIOS update.

Choose the OS you are using and check if there are any BIOS updates recently.

else try to press F2 as soon as you turn on the laptop and enter into the BIOS set up.
There's an option to restore defaults. Once this is done Save changes and the system boots.

Restart the system and the AC adapter will be detected.

Ok, if you have never replaced a laptop screen before, you might not want to do this one first. It appears that the screws on the face of the screen have to come off first. They are under the rubber footies. After screws are out, tape them to a piece of paper, and label what they were for. Do this for all screws you remove, After screws are out, you will open the screen as far as it will go without forcing it. Using a plastic card, or similar PLASTIC tool, slide into the crack around the perimeter of the screen facia. You will hear "pops" as the snap clips are opened. The lower case of the laptop may also need to be removed. This repair is best left to someone with experience, so be careful to remember what screws go where. This is very important as a long screw in the wrong place will destroy your machine. Check out this page that sells parts for this machine:
http://www.laptoprepairparts.com/html/LRsearchmodelresults.asp?brand=toshiba&model=a355d-&txt=Satellite A355D series (A355D-S6881, A355D-S68811, A355D-S6885, A355D-S6887, A355D-S6889, A355D-S6921, A355D-S6922, A355D-S69221, A355D-S6930, A355D-S69301)

you will need to copy and paste since the website uses spaces, and the models were truncated. Without seeing the actual device in person, it would be difficult to walk you through it. Just remember how you took it apart, tape screws to paper with descriptions on where they went, protect against static, dust, water, and always use plastic tools to avoid scratches.

The battery seem to be bad, if it is under 1 yr it is in warranty.

Thanks
