Satellite C855D-S5351 - Downgrading W8 to W7 - Driver problem

Hi Friends,
Im a new forum member- I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5351 with W8 factory.
I hate W8.
I have a W7 distribution cd, so I setting the hd and went to installed W7 in.
All was ok, but the drivers went away in this process.
I have a wireless usb adapter and with its down all drivers amd and instelled it, but the LAN internal controler dont work ever idont "see". Already Im working with my usd adapter but I want to make to work the internal controler. Something may help me ?
. Thanks.

I presume you have US notebook model so if you need drivers you should be able to find them on http://support.toshiba.com/drivers
This notebook model is not known to me but what you can try is to check US forum and ask if someone has this notebook model and installed Win7 on it.
Do you know which LAN device is installed? Is it listed as unknown device in device manager?

Satellite C855D-S5302 problem with win8

I recently bought new Satellite C855D-S5302 after retiring my 12 year old Satellite after excellent service. BUT this new one comes with Windows 8 installed and that is just not cutting it for me.
Often when moving the cursor to the left, the charms screen pops up and the cursor goes nowhere until I click elsewhere. It has frozen several times so I had to restart by holding the power button down, and it doesn´t work as well with my Motorola Razr smartphone as the old XP did. I believe MS are trying to copy the Android OS but they do it terribly. Anyway, I have been searching for a way to downgrade my NEW computer to Windows 7 or something else, but haven´t found a way to do that. And according to Toshiba homepage, this model hasn´t been qualified to run Win8. So what should I do? Return the computer to the supplier? And tell everyone not to buy Toshiba? I´d rather not but I am running out of options.
Is there an Operating system available from Android for this computer?
Please help me.

SATELLITE C855D-S5320 Help me please!

Hi I'm new here, a student, and recently my parents bought me a Toshiba SATELLITE C855D-S5320 for my birthday a month ago from Walmart.com. It runs Windows 8.It worked just fine for 3 weeks until yesterday.
Yesterday, I started my laptop and I had to go run an errand. When I came back and restarted the laptop again, this booting message showed up: "CHECKING MEDIA FAIL" then this follows "NO BOOTABLE DEVICE -- PLEASE RESTART THE SYSTEM"
I don't have any clue about laptops, hard disk drives, recovery disks, etc. I can't return this laptop to Walmart because it's too late. 15 days have already passed so I can't refund or return it. I don't know what's warranty but I doubt this laptop had it. I looked all over the internet and forums for help. I did try the F12 button to make sure that it is booting from HDD but the laptop still showing the same messages and is not booting up.
1. HDD/SSD
2. USB
3. ODD
4. LAN
I pressed F2 while it powered up and in the Setup Utility, the CPU type, CPU speed, HDD/SSD, ODD,Total Memory Size, System BIOS Version, and EC Version are all in gray text.
I'm really confused and scared. This is a brand new laptop and I can't return it or refund it. My parents are mad at me because they think I messed it up but I'm telling the truth, I didn't do anything! Our family doesn't have a lot of money and we're going a bit of bad luck nowadays so I really don't want my folks to spend more of their money on me or trouble them more.
This is my computer brand: http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/C850/C855D-S5320/
I really really appreciate it if anyone can help!

Hello --
I'n not really replying but I'm new here and can't figure out how the heck
else to post a question!
I also have a C855D-S5320 laptop. Now, when it hibernates and I touch
a key, it doesn't bring up the log-in screen. It just brings up a blank screen.
So, I have to use the power key and turn the laptop ALL the way off.
Once it has been completely turned off it brings up the log-in screen
and everything is fine.
I tried removing the battery but that didn't fix it. Other than this issue,
it works fine, and it's only 3-4 months old. Thanks, if you have any
ideas!

Satellite C855D-16J - How do I get Windows 8 back to normal?

It's a long story how this all happened.
Basically, it all started when I decided to give Ubuntu a go.
After going through with the setup and completing the installation, I'd realised I'd made a terrible mistake; I'd wiped my hard drive entirely.
Next I had to spend hours looking for a method to reinstall Windows 8. I found a helpful post on some forum and burned a Windows 8 recovery ISO to my USB stick.
Installation was successful and I got Windows 8 back, or so I'd thought...
It turns out I only had an evaluation version. On my desktop it says the following;
'Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation'
Windows License valid for 90 days
Build 9200'
I thought that if I could use the product key that's hidden in the BIOS, using Keyfinder, I could get it working again with [ this|http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only] , but nope. I got the error: 'This product key cannot be used to install retail version of windows 8'
My laptop, a Toshiba Satellite C855D-16J, came preinstalled with Windows 8. I'd like to know how to get this thing working again.
I don't have any money to spend(not that I should need to spend anything) and would like help urgently, please. Some ISO or key or anything. It's enough to lose my files, I don't want to be stuck with laptop I can't use
Thank you.

Hmmm... stupid situation now.
If I understand you right you didnt create recovery media. Thats your biggest mistake.
Problem is that recovery image is not for public usage and cannot be downloaded anywhere.
You have two possibilities now:
1/to install own OS version
2/to order original recovery disc (link is posted by Tom)
I must also say that order is not for free and costs about 30 Euros but believe me it is best solution for you. Using this disc you will have factory settings again and preinstalled OS version will be activated.

Satellite C855D - Computer thinks key Num 9 is pressed

Such a weird issue, I hope someone can help. So this started happening on a monday after leaving the laptop off since saturday; everything working perfectly - no issues at all.After turning on the machine and booting normally into windows, I noticed when opening the start menu, the number 9 started repeating in the search box as if the key was being held down; I thought obviously the physical key might be stuck; I pressed the 9 key and it felt normal, nothing obstructing it and it wasn't stuck (the same for the 9 on the number keypad), yet the number 9 kept repeating. I rebooted the computer and tried to enter into safe mode, but the keyboard was not responding, both the caps and num lock lights where on but hitting F8 key or any other key (enter, arrow keys etc.) did not work and could not select anything in the boot menu. It was then I noticed that the same thing was happening immediately after turning on the laptop, I could not enter into the bios setup so it went straight to the windows boot menu. I got the idea to try to boot without the laptop keyboard physically connected to the motherboard and rule out any hardware problems with the keyboard; so I powered off the machine, disconnected and removed the keyboard and powered it back and let it boot normally ... I could not believe it, it kept happening, even without any input device connected to the system, the key is still acting as if pressed ... I already tried updating the bios to latest version but didn't resolve the issue; this happens even with a dos boot disk, the number 9 repeats at the c:\ prompt without any keyboard connected, so it's not a windows problem; I think it must be a firmware or hardware controller issue. Please, any help is greatly appreciated!Has anyone else experienced this ‘phantom key press’ issue?---Satellite C855D-S5320Windows 7 (downgraded from W8)

Open the Character Map (charmap.exe) and locate the character. You should be able to copy it from there and paste it into your document.
A faster way is to depress the Alt key and press 40 on your numeric keypad. I'm going to do that now right here: (

Satellite C855D-S5106 - when lid is closed/reopened, backlight resumes, picture does not.

Win. 7 Ult. 64-bit, Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5106, all BIOS and display drivers updated... Things to note: This NOT an issue with sleep or hibernation, or waking up from such states, as it wakes up just fine. It is also not a BIOS or drivers issue. I have it set in Power Settings that closing the lid does nothing. Yet whenever I open the lid after it has been closed, the backlight comes back on, but the picture does not. To get the picture to return, I either have to put the laptop to sleep and then wake it back up again, or, more convieniently, by using a program called Hotkeycontrol to set a custom hotkey to turn the the display on and off, and this works every time. I had this problem a couple years ago (a recent Windows repair "corrected" this solution), and I vaguely remember the solution being to change something display or policy-related, like, change it so that the lid closing action action looks for a trigger related to volume or a sound device, to act as an inactive placeholder of sorts, instead of what it really tries to do, which causes the problem in the first place, as weird as that seems. Unfortunately, that's about all I can remember, as it's been so long since I had to do it. All the Googling I do just brings me to posts about changing power settings again, or updating various BIOS and display drivers (when it's not bringing me to questions about waking up from sleep or hibernation, that is), which I've already done, and I know not to be the solution in this instance. I'm trying to remember where I went to make the changes, but I'm blanking out completely, sadly. Here is a minute-long video of exactly what is happening to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alhg_zbmKZ4 If any of this sounds or looks at all (even remotely) familiar, the help would be very much appreciated.

This model shipped with Windows 8 and support.toshiba.com seems to have very limited Windows 7 driver support (e.g. no chipset drivers, display drivers, or power utilities.)
If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, contact support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 457-7777.

Satellite C855D-135 - Corrupt BIOS, black screen, keyboard is not working

Hello everybody.
I have been having some issues with my Toshiba Satellite C855D-135 laptop. I had to change my internal hard drive, so I decided to install windows 7 on it (I used to have windows 8 but don't have the CD and I couldn't find the licence key sticker.),
So I went into the BIOS to switch it from UEFI to CSM, but something went wrong at that point and it seems to have corrupted the bios.
I think I have bricked it, but some things still work.
When I turn it on:
- the screen stays black (Yes, I have tried it on a different screen)
- the keyboard doesn't seem to be working (the leds don't turn on when I press caps lock)
- the fan works fine
- cd reader works fine
- When I plug in a USB stick, it flashes quickly once, so that seems to be working
- When I removed the memory bar, the computer did it's series of beeps
- I tried removing the battery, unplugging it and pressing on the power button for ages. (no luck)
- I have tried removing the CMOS battery to revert the bios to default. (no luck)
- I tried flashing the bios on a USB stick, until I realised the keyboard wasn't working and that it was all in vain.
- I tried putting the bios update on a CD, and it spun for a while, but nothing happened in the end. I tried putting these files on the CD:
- IBIOS.BAT
- C8610.FD (in the Win8 folder)
- C610.FD (in the WIN7 folder)
- I tried renaming C8610.FD to BIOS.FD
I have run out of ideas now.
Could anybody help me? Pretty please?
I hope it's not the motherboard that's broken, coz I really don't have enough money to send it off to be repaired.

The whole story sounds very strange to me I never heard about that fact that changing the boot mode from UEFI to CSM would affect the BIOS.
In my opinion there is some serious hardware problem. As you already assumed, it could be probably a motherboard fault.
I would recommend you to ask some technicians for some hardware diagnostic tests to perform an motherboard check in order to be 100% sure about the fault.
If you dont have enough money and the motherboard is really affected you could try to get some 2nd hand part

Satellite C855d-10W- Cannot install Win7 due to missing ODD

Hello,
I've just bought Toshiba Satellite C855d-10w 2 days ago, but I can't seem to install Windows 7 OS.
It doesn't even want to start, as it shows me that a CD/DVD driver is missing

I can only find the drivers which I would have installed after the installation of the OS.
Now I am running on Ubuntu, everything works perfectly except the wireless connection (the wireless button is not recognized by the system),
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance

No audio output device is installed - Satellite C855D-S5950 - Windows 8 64-bit

Toshiba laptop
Model: Satellite C855D-S5950
P/N: PSCBQU-03G03E
OS: Windows 8 64bit
RAM: 4GB.
Hello,
I have my friend’s Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5950 with Windows 8 (64bit) that about a year old. Some months ago the sound stopped working. He asked me to take a look at it. I have researched this issue and found others have encountered his problem as well.
Currently, the sound icon has a red x, “No audio output device is installed.”
Things I have tried so far to try to fix this:
I went to the Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers. I have "Realtek High Definition Audio" listed with the little yellow caution icons on them. I have tried to disable, then enable it. I have tried to uninstall the sound driver from the Device Manager. I would restart the laptop, and let the driver reinstall itself, to no effect. I have tried downloading the latest drivers from the Toshiba website. I have tried un-installing the driver while in safe mode from the Device Manager. As well as from Programs and Features. There were no positive change to the audio though, still the same message. The Realtek driver won't finish installing and throws the error: "Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure!! [Error Code: 0x000000FF]"
I have gone to Control Panel > Sound, under both the Playback and Recording tabs, it says "No audio devices are installed."
My friend was previously unaware of how to restart or shut down his Windows 8 laptop (as was I until I started investigating this problem for him). I mention this because there are no useful System Restore points to go back to for him.
I have also tried Using the Toshiba Application Installer as well to re-install the driver after un-installing the Realtek Audio driver from Add/Remove Programs. I went to Desktop Assist >Support Recovery > Toshiba Application Installer.
Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.6743
It loads most of the way then I get:
"Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure!! [Error Code: 0x000000FF]"
I have also tried the following links for additional troubleshooting:

It was also suggested in the above thread I remove the Microsoft UAA Driver, but could not find this driver on my friend’s system.
Plugging in headphones, toggling the speaker volume controls on the keyboard has had no effect.
My friend has also misplaced his install discs, so I am looking for any solution which does not require the install discs.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Recovery media is created from the hard drive. You can make it using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. You can also perform a full system reset to factory defaults using the information on the hard drive without using external recovery media. That sounds like the best course of action now. To do so, use Windows+C > Settings > Power > SHIFT + Restart > Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.

Satellite C855D-S5303 No Bootable Device

I'm working on a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5303 that fails to boot into Windows 8 and instead, gives a message on the screen, "No bootable device -- please restart system." I searched the forums and read a lot of posts regarding this issue and it seems that it's pretty common.
The HDD is detected in the BIOS as well as in the hard drive checking programs found on the latest Hirens cd. I ran Seagate Seatools long test yesterday afternoon before leaving work and returned to find that the Seatools testing screen was still up but nothing was happening. Nothing was "clickable" on the screen so I had no option but to do a hard shut down. I restarted Seatools but it behaved the same way. After doing that, I decided to try to recover the owner's files. When I connected it to my other computer and looked at the drive, there wasn't an operating system on the drive anywhere. In fact, all that was listed on the drive was what is pictured in the attached screenshot.
Seems like whatever wiped out the drive also took out the operating system too. All that's pictured in the screenshot are "hidden". I've never seen a "DONOTPRESENT" type of file either. I'm pretty certain the drive is bad in spite of it being seen by various programs. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the missing operating system, the remaining hidden files found, and the donotpresent files.
Thanks for reading.

Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. You can obtain that from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 57 of the User's Guide.

Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320 recovery help!

All the pc does is go to the Toshiba Splash screen, and then a blue screen that says "Recovery your PC needs to be repaired. A required device isn't connected or can't be accesed. Error code: 0x0000185.
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media contact your system administrator or PC manufactuer." I have tried resetting the firmware and also holding down 0 like Toshiba instructs. However, after I select yes to get into the HDD recovery, the screen flashes white and then goes right back to the same recovery screen no matter what I do. It's very irritating when I can't even get recovery to work -___-. Someone please help me out? I don't have any recovery disks, etc.

To restore your laptop back to it's "ORIGINAL FACTORY SPECS" you must 1st access "Boot Options" on your Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320, or similar model & here's what worked for me. Start the laptop while tapping the "F12" key. This will open your boot options menu. At the very bottom of the list is an option called "HDD Recover"...click on it if you want to be able to access your "Advance System Recovery Options" where you'll be given new options allowing you to restore your laptop back to it's original factory specs. Please don't forget to give me "Kudos" by clicking onto my Kudos button next to my post if my solution was able to help you in any way...thanks.~: ) (((A+ Discount Computer Repair, Alb, NM)))

Where can I buy a keyboard for Satellite C855D?

Hello
Sorry for my english's mystake, i'm french.
So,
i've broken the keyboard of my laptop (Satellite C855D) with water.
I took it of and i use now a USB keyboard.
I'm looking to buy a new keyboard but the prices are expensive
. I was thinking that maybe, here, you could give me a website where i can buy a good keyboard not too expansive.
Can someone help me?
Thank you.
Matt

> Which website should i use?
Sorry mate but I really dont understand why you asking for something like that?
There are millions of online dealers who offer notebook parts in different countries.
Choose the best, for you available in *YOUR* country.
I dont know if the best offer for you means the cheapest offer for me the best offer isnt the cheapest one.
I prefer online dealers with good reputation and not with the cheapest price.
>and, if "Such keyboards are used by different notebook manufacturers", how do i surch for it?
Search simply for Satellite C855 / C855D / C850 keyboard
Then you will get some google hits providing the compatible part!
> Using the number writtent in the back? Cause, when i use this number "H000040810" to search on internet, i only have websites that work with toshiba.
Of course you will get ONLY the keyboards used by Toshiba because these are Toshiba part numbers!
If you would contact the authorized service provider in YOUR country, you will get the original part.
