I will be returning my A505-S6005. Help me to avoid the restocking fee by reading this list.

About five days ago I bought a Toshiba A505-S6005 laptop at Best Buy. I am so sorry I did because this computer has been a pain in the **bleep** since day one. I have numerous problems or errors with the unit, but the system still works (to a point) and I would think that a Geek Squad agent would deem it as operational and I would be subject to a restocking fee. Here is a list of issues I have seen or experienced with it. Maybe someone can really attest that it is indeed defective and I can get all of my refund.
List of errors or issues.
1. Very slow startup. (This is a Core i3, but it does not seem like it. I think I would get better performance from a cheapie Celeron)
2. Stuttering audio at startup and while playing media..(online media, videos, music, and normal Windows Operations, Windows Media Center)
3. Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered error. Experienced numerous times during startup or restarts
4. Completely blank screen while running on battery. Plugged in and it did not help. (After turning it on for the day) No backlight or anything. As if screen is off.
5. Acronis True Image cannot find any Hard Disk Drives when running the recovery manager from the bootable CD or within the Windows recovery methods. (have followed advice of forum posters, all of which have failed. Have also tried to generate a system report which also failed.)
6. Very noisy DVD/CD drive when burning discs (Makes extremely loud vibrating sound)
7. Problems with camera sensing light in well lit room. (not sure if this is an issue or not) although it does not hapen all the time.
I think this is everything I have experienced so far. I am not sure if there are other issues or not. But there might very well may be.

I agree, go bring it back to them. If its within 14days they should not ask for a restocking fee.

  • This community is great -- very helpful. What is the best way to read "word" docs on my brand new iPad 2? Is there an app for that?

    This community is great -- very helpful. What is the best way to read "word" docs on my brand new iPad 2? Is there an app for that?

    If you're just reading them from email attachments, you can just open it to "view" the document.
    However, if you wish to do editing and work, you'll need an application. I use Documents to Go, but there are other versions that people are happy with - do a search in the App store for "office suite" or "word processing".
    The next challenge is getting docs back and forth. Doc2Go and others have their own ways to physically sync docs when connected to a computer; you can also email changed/revised/new documents from the iPad to yourself. However, I use a "cloud service" called DropBox that stores docs in the cloud (so I can get to them anywhere) - I paid for the Premium version of Docs2Go to allow that kind of syncing.

  • App Store, Pages 5.0, Evernote, and other Apps will not fully function after installing Mavericks. What is the issue and how can this be solved?

    Hello all, I could use some serious help on some major issues I have been having after installing Mavericks on my system (specs stated below). Never has a mac felt ever so rebelious and broken before in my lifelong period of using these systems. Anyway, after installing system 10.9, I had opened the mac App Store upon seeing that applications such as my iWork suite all had free updates. However, when I would attempt to navigate to the updates window, it would not respond to my various attempts. I then tried to get there by the system's menu bar and to my dismay, nothing would work when I clicked on it, not even the apple logo menu. I later quit the application using Command-Q and opened up the App Store by the apple menu option 'Software Update...' instead. Though it looked promising since the updates window did open, all update buttons or even '...more' info buttons were unresponsive.  These same problems persisted even after restarting my computer. I had also attempted to see if repairing definitions would help by booting from the recovery start-disk and using disk utility but the repairs it carried out apparently had nothing to do with my issue. Finally, I was able to update to the new iWorks suite (which interestingly did not replace the iWorks '09 suite) by following the notification that asked about allowing automatic updates which I did.
    Once trying to use Pages 5.0, I soon noticed that all I could do was merely type in a new document and change various options via key commands. Neither the inspector or top bar menus would respond to any place I click. Similarly, Evernote only starts up on the last used note and merely allows me to scroll through it. The top bar menus, the note select pane, and even clicking inside the note to input text are all not functioning and uninfluenced by any mouse clicks.
    I have noticed other apps that will not respond to any sort of input, but I still have not explored all applications to know what the issues of each may be. However there are some applications that work such as Safari, Google Chrome, dolphin, iWork '09 including Pages '09, and others.
    I do hope that I can avoid rolling back my system, but in the meantime, it has been quite the obticle course to use my computer for all of my school purposes.
    Any help is very much appreciated,
    Thank you!

    I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

  • Can someone from Verizon help me? Wheres the shredded Constitution tab on this site? Is it on same page as burning US flag?

    Can some one help. There are multiple tabs on this site about privacy but i cant find the one with the shredded Constitution, the burning US flag and the video of the board of dictators/directors giving the finger to 110 million loyal paying customers.

    The quote is from the ultimate American Mr. Ben Franklin. didnt mean to question your motives but the fact that you found my question hilarious was upsetting. thank you for your service. I believe the oath  says enemies not terrorist.  i've been preaching for years that Big Brothers is watching everything we do. this is no suprise to me but it will be to millions of the sleeping hoard. the feds just opened a multi billion dollar NSA complex in the Nevada desert that houses the largest computer system in history for the sole purpose of collecting and analysing all the data they have on the citizenry. that money came from congress which they confiscated from us. Congress is acting suprised by this scandal but certain senators came out today to say this is no big deal its been going on for 7 yrs.and they were advised. they are co-conspiritors with the current and former prez in shredding the Constitution that they also took an oath to defend. be careful what you post about your arms, they are monitoring this discussion tonite because they know verizon customers are mad and they know where we all are, don't kid yourself that verizons not giving them your personal info and passwords. hell even the liberals are mad about this.

    Your best bet is to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
    If you don't have the recovery partition and you didn't burn recovery discs, then order the discs from Toshiba.

  • Recovery For A505-s6005

    I bought the new a505-s6005 and have already partitioned the hard disk with out creating the recovery disk...can I now create the recovery disk and will the recovery disk restore the out of the box settings if I try to recover it...and also is creating recovery disk using the bundled recovery disk creator is ok or should i use another software...THANK YOU
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    the recovery media software is on there for that reason. as long as you didnt do any damage to the recovery partitions you will still be able to make your recovery media. you should always make the media before you repartition the HDD because if you mess up the recovery partition you will have to get a set of recovery media from toshiba for $25. the only way to know is to try to run the recovery media creator and see if it will let you create the discs.

  • My ipod classic just froze on me and will not even reset.  All I'm getting on the display is a red circle with an x in the middle.  HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    My ipod classic just froze on me and will not even reset.  All I'm getting on the display is a read circle with a red x in the middle.  HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to restore it and instead get the red X symbol, it's a very good indication of a damaged hard drive inside of your iPod. This means you'll need to take or send your iPod in for repair or replacement.

  • Inconsistent delivery balance after return with restocking fee

    My client does not like the work around she must use to delete negative delivery balances after returns are processed with a restocking fee. Here is her description of the problem:
    1. We receive this unit back from customer. When a return is created the unit is received back into stock and cost account is credited.
    2. We revised the unit and decided to accept the return but charge a 10% restocking fee which means we will give back to the customer only 90% of what he paid for the unit.
    When a credit memo is created, the customer receives the credit and the revenue account is debited. Also the base return document is closed.
    3. However the system indicates that there is a negative delivery amount of $509 (On the BP master screen)  We donu2019t want to see that balance; there is no document open linked to that balance.
    If I do the same process, but add the total credit amount to the unit price directly the system does not show this negative balance even though the total amount of the return document is different than the total amount of the credit memo.
    In order for me to clear that balance, I needed to create a return, copy it to a credit memo, and create an invoice to offset the invoice.
    Is ther a better way to do this?

    The proper way to do it would be full credit plus new service invoice to complete this transaction.  The restocking fee s a new charge to customer.  That process will reflect the true financial transaction.
    Thanks,
    Gordon

  • F4 help on fields in the table

    Hi guyz,
    I have created table with 4 fields
    1.client
    2.language
    3.name
    4.text
    now I want f4 button next to all the fields , if I click on client all  client numbers should display and if I click language all possible languages should display , same for all other fields.
    I have done using search help but that bringing all the entries in table.
    Plz advise.
    regards

    Hi,
    If you use a standard data element for the table field a search help will automatiocally be assigned to it, to check whether a search help is already assigned to a element you can click on the Entry help/check tab of the table. if you find this statement -  Input help implemented with check table, there it means it already has a search help.
    If you creating data elements of your own then you need to create a search help in SE11and assign it manually to the field which you want to have an F4 help.
    To know how to create a search help visit the below link:

  • TS3048 Wireless keyboard turns on but can not type.  Can not do any of the trouble shooting I read about because I can not type my password .... Please Help

    The Apple wireless keyboard will not work.  Batteries are new, light is on & goes into search mode.  Worked fine yesterday, today - wont type.  Can not do any of the troubleshooting I read about online because I can not type my login.  Is there a lock key I may have hit by accident and can unlock?  The bluetooth is working because my wireless mouse works...Please Help

    I was just researching the same problem and found this info :
    "I figured it out, i had "mouse keys" on.
    To fix go to Preferences>Universal>Mouse> MouseKeys and click off"
    sure enough I had the 'mousekeys' on and turning it off - keyboard now working
    hope this works for you

    Looks like this issue is the same as the one tracked in:

    Also, the thread http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=55897 discusses the topic "SJS8EA: how to add netbeans4.1 update center" ; users can add nb41 update center to jse and download and install the modules from netbeans update center. Users can also obtain the nbms directly from netbeans.org and other third party vendors and apply them to jse using "manually downloaded modules" option in autoupdate client. Of course, users should ensure that the downloaded modules are compatible with the version of nb a given jse version is based on.
