i tried to figrue out where the cmos jumper is ,but dint find it ,please help
 
Reboot the laptop. Hold the left shift key down while the system is booting. If that doesn't work, type in their back door password Toshiba.

Toshiba has nothing on their web site about a model SA50 Does it say anything else? Is it A sattellite, Sattellite Pro, what? I need more info.
 
I'm a Toshiba laptop repair technician. On the bottom of the laptop is the Toshiba tag where the actual model name/number will be found. What is the exact wording of the password request that you are getting?

Of the sattelites sold in the US, only A65's and M35X models have the 109 sub model.Is there an authorized toshiba service center anywhere near you? That is a boot password request from the bios. The method of clearing that will require a technician to get it done on the A65. The M35X may have to go to the Toshiba main service center, I don't remember for sure just now. The Toshiba Customer Service phone number is 1-800-457-7777. Perhaps they can be of more help than I am.
 
On that Toshiba tag on the bottom there should be the model/ part number and serial number. The model part number starts with a "P" and could be "PASxxxU-XXXX" where the "x" is numbers and the "X" would numbers and letters combined. What is that model part number?
 
Iberger. That's why I couldn't find it eh? I was not using the global/European site. I'll defer to your expertise, and bow out of this one<g>

nah this i am in the middle east , and i saw under the laptop it says about the site , toshiba-europe.com but i checked the site i dint find anything usefull

can anyone tell me how to find the bios battery , or how big it is in shape or a picture may help too
 
the bios battery is soldered to the mainboard, about 8mm diameter, round, about 3mm thick. At least thats the setup for the last year or so.
 
damn first of all i live in a remote area , i took this pc to a small computer shop but they said they dont deal with laptops, toshiba doesnt have a outlet here ,

maybe they have a out let in the city
plus sending it to them will take a lot of money and also it will be weeks before i will get it back,
 
Dude you have a computer. Use it. There are tons of companies offering service on Toshiba products, including laptops. These took me 2 whole minutes to find. and I'm in California.

Request help

Dear Sir/Madam

Few days before I have bought a Laptop “Toshiba Satellite A215-S4747” hoping to print label on my personal DVDs using “labelflash functionality”. I have studied before in the specification of this brand that this function exists in these models. But I have problem using this ability of my Laptop. In the “Ulead DVD MovieFactory for Toshiba” there is not any printer installed on my DVD drive! I continued the steps in the link bellow but there is not “<D> HL-DT DVD RAM GSA“ printer on my laptop.


Is this means that there is special diver or software to install this printer and use them!?
If it is true please send me the link of driver or program to download it!

I will appreciate if you help me in this regard!

Best regards
Roya
