A505-S6980 sound trouble.

Okay, after my dad messed around with the sound on my new A505-S6980 after the speakers cut out, they finally started working again. Now, every time I click something, it makes a sound that sounds as if it were a sound that was programmed into the computer, but it wasn't making that sound before. What do I do to fix this?

In which program? Does it happen in, for instance, an Office program?
Or in a browser? Are you talking about clicking on a link?

A505-S6980 will boot but not go to Windows 7

Hi --
I bought a new Toshiba laptop and gave my previous laptop (A505-S6980) to one of my high school students who could not afford one. He has to do an online course that must be finished by May 27th, in order to graduate. It was working fine but now has an issue. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem:
1. The A505 will boot. Shows Toshiba logo screen with options to press F2 (setup) and F12 (boot).
2. It will then go to "Starting Windows 7" screen, and white bar shows loading.
3. After that, it will go to next screen that shows Microsoft logo at bottom, along with a black/green loading bar. Green "blip" glides back and forth as if loading.
4. The next screen is completely blank, with a cursor blinking at the top. It will also show the pointer. That's as far as it goes. The processor light and the sound it makes both appear to be repititive, as if the processor is caught in a loop.
Please Help! The computer is only a little over a year old. This kid is trying so hard to make his graduation happen, and he has no computer at home. He's using it on weekends and in the evenings to do the online thing, and goes to Starbucks and other "hot spots" to get online.
Thanks! Tere

If you're determined to try to resurrect this installation of Windows, download a disc that enables you to reach the Windows Recovery Enironment.
Download Windows 7 System Recovery Discs
You need the 64-bit one.
Note that you should have burned this disc from Windows 7. If you have access to another computer with 64-bit Windows 7, you can make it this way.

Multiple Problems with Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop??

Hi,
We purchased the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop at Best Buy about a week ago. However, we seem to be having multiple problems with it, that I wouldn't have expected from a brand new Toshiba.
Problems:
Whenever I'm in Mozilla Firefox browser, it crashes 90% of the time. Firefox was always my favorite on our previous computer, and still is, I just can't use it because it continually crashes.
In Outlook, whenever I try to open a message or reply, or basically any general command, it pops up an error message that says, "Could not install the custom actions," and then does whatever I'd wanted it too. It's a pain, as we do a lot of email and calendar through Outlook.
In Outlook, when I tried to import our Contacts, it says that we do not have the appropriate permissions to access the files. We are the only user account on this computer. We don't do seperate ones for each family member; we just turn on the PC.
It seems to me like the internet crawls on this computer. Every time we try to play a video (e.g. ABC, CNN, Youtube), it won't buffer. It just stops and starts all throughout the video about every 3 seconds. HUGE nuisance. We watch a lot of videos.
Minor issue: In Firefox, before it has crashed that is, on my old computer I used to be able to type "cnet" without the quotes into the address bar, and it would take me to www.cnet.com. If it couldn't find the page, it would take me to my default search engine's page (Yahoo) with the search results. On this one, if I type anything into the address bar (like search terms/keywords) it bring up search results with a My Start Incredimail search engine. I want my Yahoo search engine, and I want it to find the page if it can.
I cannot seem to get the Aero Flick (I think) to work. That was one of the main things I was looking forward to, but I can't figure out how to do it.
It seems to me like the Windows Explorer freezes a lot.
There have been multiple times when I'm typing that the keys don't work. Like I would have to press the A key about 10 times to get it to show up on the screen once. It's hit and miss and doesn't do it all of the time.
This isn't a problem - just a question. Is it best to leave the computer plugged in all of the time if it's stationary? Or once it's fully charged, should I unplug it and let the power run down, and then re-charge it?
**CLARIFICATION: It's not Outlook Express, it's Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. The one that you have to pay for. Surely it works with 7, considering it's Microsoft?!?!
If you can help me answer any of these problems/questions, I would really appreciate it.
Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

Yes, everything was fine with Firefox. However, I have uninstalled it, and am just using Internet Explorer for now.
Thanks for battery info...
I'm well within the return window, but overall really like the laptop. I've put a lot of time into it, and just want it to work right if possible.
Thanks for the info.

Also, that search engine you mentioned may have somehow been installed on your machine. Have you checked the "Manage search engines..." window available from the search bar? Check your add-ons as well. You could always reinstall Firefox from scratch.
As for the battery, it may not be best to continually run down the battery - followed by a long charge. Once a month or so should be fine. Otherwise, just try to give the battery some exercise every now and then.
Are you still within the return window? Your unit may have a bad install, some bad RAM, or...
I have the same model and it works just fine.

A505-S6980 Monitor Went Black

We have a Toshiba A505-S6980. The other night my girlfriend was working on a paper when the screen went black mid typing. She took the battery out and turned the computer back on. Viola the screen worked, then the next night it did the same thing, this time the screen refuses to come on. I am fairly well versed in the hardware aspect of pc's and have torn apart this one to check all possible connections. No luck. Is there anyone who has had this issue or can think of a solution other than use another external screen. We really hate to purchase a new laptop when this one is only about a year old. Please help with idea's.

go w/ a different brand toshiba sucks period

A505-S6980 Internet Freeze

We recently purchased an A505-S6980 with Windows 7 home premium edition. It worked great for several weeks but recently (since ~ Jan 24, 2010) has been performing poorly when using the internet. It doesn't matter if the browser is Explorer or Firefox. Initially the browser will work fine then becomes incredibly slow and eventually everything locks up (including task manager) and requires a power down to log out. The system works OK in safe mode with networking. The only software installed since purchase was Windows Office, PC Tools Spyware Doctor, iTunes, and Mozilla Firefox. All these programs were installed well before the onset of our freezing problems. Any suggestions on how to diagnose the problem (or fix it)?
Rhonda

When you wrote "It works ok in safe mode", do you mean that you booted up Windows 7
in Safe Mode, or that you used Firefox and EI8 in their Safe Mode option.
Now depending on your response from above you can go many ways.
If you started the web browser in safe mode then it means that both or one of
the software got corrupted and needs to be reinstall, or it means that the add-ons
used in one affects the performance that it makes it not respond. But that wouldn't
be the case with IE8 because it doesn't really have any add-ons that would make it act
that way, unless one of it vulnerabilities is being exploited and makes its act like that.
If the add-ons are the problems on Firefox, then you can disable all, and the enable one by one,
or three or any number at a time and see which one causes the problem, and remove it.
Also try and delete the cookies and all data store on both browsers, see if that works.
You can try older versions of the browsers and see if that works better.
Have you scanned your hard drive for malware or viruses?
Also try Safari, the PC version, of the web browser, see if that also goes down or it works fine.
Hope this helps a little bit.

Which MSI TV card and sound troubles

Hello all,
Hereby my first posting. Seems to be a lot of knowledge here on MSI TV-cards. I have a MSI Mega PC 180 with a TV card. I was wondering which TV-card this is, as it looks as the following: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/multimedia/mut/pro_mut_detail.php?UID=342, but it says in my configuration screen that it is a 8606. I have also mentioned that I would like to order the TV @nywhere card when I had purchased it. Can anybody tell me which card I have?
I'm asking this, because I have sound troubles with this card. I can receive TV channel images, but the sound does plok....plok....plok....plok. So I would like to know if these beta drivers that are on this forum should help. I have tried them once, but with no success.
I do not use a sattelite receiver of VCR or anything. I'm connected through the dutch tv-cable network.
Does anybody know how to solve this?

Well, that is what it says in the Mega 180 manual, and one can hope that MSI is telling the truth.
So, go to the very top of this page, click on download and go get the latest drivers and MSIPVS for the 8606.
The card must be connected to your soundcard (even if integrated) either by the external line-out of the card to a line-in for the sound, or from the card's internal connector to one on the soundcard/mobo.
And the player (MSIPVS) must be told which input point you used (line-in, CD-in, Aux etc).

That doesn't help us at all. We can't see your computer screen or read your mind. Tell us what happens. Be specific. There's plenty of space here.

There's your first and most important clue. What does the BSOD state is causing the problem? It should provide some clue as to what it is. See if BlueScreen View can provide some insight into the BSOD.

BIOS update for A505-S6980

Hi:
I received an email with a link to download an update to get version 1.80. I've seen a few posts on BIOS update problems and subsequent issues following the updates. I'm not especially computer savvy, so I was wondering if I should proceed with the download or skip it. Are there preferred methods to do an update? Thanks for any input....

Good question. If you view the Change History, you'll see that the major fix was a crackling noise in the audio. If you don't experience that, I'd skip the update. Fixing what ain't broke tempts fate.

No sound on Satellite A505-S6980

About two hours ago my laptop ran out of battery life and then shutdown. I plugged in the charger and turned it back on to find out that the sound no longer works through the built in speakers, although I can hear sound through my headphones. Everything is unmuted, I checked all the drivers and they all seem to be fine, and restoring my computer didn't work.
help please :D

Yes, I can understand you that this is hard for you but such things could happen. ;)
But dont be worry: I have really good experience with my authorized service provider. The repair did take only few days and I think it should be same with your notebook because speakers should be exchanged in few minutes.
On the Toshiba website you can search for nearest authorized service provider:

P205D-S7802 Sound troubles in XP

For various reasons I had to downgrade from vista to xp a few months ago on my P205D-S7802, and have not been able to use sound since. The system says no sound card is installed. I don't recall everything I went through installing xp a few months ago, so I don't know exactly what is/isn't installed. If someone could help me find the driver for whatever sound card/chip my system uses, and one in XP, since it is only listed for vista on toshiba's site, assuming one exists for xp, it would be greatly appreciated.

I might have a solution. My A505-6960 was 1 day old and the sound stopped working. I scoured the internet and this forum for a solution but found nothing that permanently fixed my problem. I tried reloading the sound drivers and it only worked intermittently.
I found 1 mention somewhere else about a Windows Vista issue with the Sleep Mode on some other manufactures laptop forum. Seems several other manufactures have had the same problems and complaints from their customers. Some have come up with patches to fix the conflict. It seems Toshiba has not yet done so with their products.
My solution was to change my settings on my laptop to Hibernate Mode and made sure it was not set ANYWHERE on Sleep Mode. This includes when you close the cover, when you leave the laptop idle, or click any buttons. Do NOT use Sleep Mode for ANY settings.
It's been several weeks and my sound is back and I have not lost it since I changed my laptop settings. If it doesn't come back after you change your settings. Turn off the computer for at least an hour or overnight if you can before restarting. Before the setting change, I found if I turned off my laptop for a while the sound came back mysteriously. I now know when it went in to Sleep Mode, the sound stopped working.
I hope this works for you and anyone else scouring the internet and this forum for an answer.

IPHONE 4 sound trouble

I just want to let IPHONE 4 users how I fixed a problem that even geniuses couldnt fix.
My iphone sudenly lost sound in the speaker, the ringer didnt work, notifications didnt work and I could not hear sound when I played a video on youtube, also no sound when I played music unless I plugged in earphones or a set of small speakers.
I tried all settings and nothing, I tried solutions on the trouble shooting advice from this section and still nothing and I saw posts of users with similar problems, tried hard reset, the 5 step suggestion and nothing worked.
Then after a complete reset of the iphone and sync of all apps etc nothing worked, then tonight my 12 year old girl asks to play on my iphone and
I say no audio ig you still want to play and then an epiphony, I asked hey remember when I tell you to mute the sound and she says yes sure and I asked if she just turned it off with the side slide button and she said most of the time but also that some of her games gave her a mute option so I asked her to go to her favorite game and see if she had left the sound off, well in the sync I had not chosen that game so she couldnt find it, we downloaded the game again and she turned the mut off and incredible SOUND started working, speaker was working, we called my iphone and it rang and key sounds were working and notifications as well, so it was the mute in the game that messed it all up.

Try a reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the iPhone will turn off(keep holding) but as soon as the Apple logo appears release both buttons
