Dropped my Satellite M30X - now sound & WLan don't work

I dropped my Satellite M30X on the carpet, and now the sound and wireless connection no longer work. (The wireless switch light doesn't turn on when I turn the switch on.)
Is this a repairable problem or do I need to purchase a new computer? Please let me know.

Hi everyone,
I spoke with the computer tech support team in my area, and they mentioned that I should have a wireless card installed instead of having the wireless switch replaced. However, repairing the sound is a more complex issue. I would need to have the hard drive replaced, and it would cost me $425.
Not want to spend so much money, I then looked up prices for hard drives online to get a second opinion. It was then, that I discovered (by accident) that an audio card could be used to fix sound unable to be heard from headphone outlets and broken wireless connections. Will an audio card restore sound unable to be heard from my computer's built-in speakers, or is this a problem that replacing the mother board can only resolve? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

    This may sound crazy, but download any free app.  This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

  • P755 and Realtek HD Audio Manager sound effects don't work

    Hi. I have a P755 and the Realtek HD Audio Manager sound effects don't work. Everything seems to be up to date, but the equalizer and environment features have never worked. I am using the Analog stereo out. The Speaker Configuration is Stereo. The only thing that seems to change the audio characteristics is switching from Headphone to Line Out.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Can't hurt to reinstall the drivers.

  • In my iPad 2 sound notifications don't work anymore

    In my iPad 2 sound notifications don't work anymore

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

    i have just had a new logic borad installed -
    now my headphones don't work?  (m-audio)
    Am I missing something in preferences? 

    I would not even try to fix it after getting the logic board replaced. I would take it back to who ever replaced it and tell them it is not working properly.

  • Satellite L305D-S5895 - Functions keys and WLan don't work with Win XP

    Hi,
    first sorry for my english
    I bought a Toshiba Satellite l305d s5895, with winXP, because I need software, but the function keys doesn't works.
    So I need a driver, but i can't find it, and the internet wireless doesn't work.

    >Where would one find this special XP BIOS?
    In my opinion there is problem because most threads here are about European notebook models. so then come question from US. Toshiba Europe and Toshiba US don't work together and every of them is responsible for own models and offer support for country specific notebook models.
    So here in Europe Toshiba has for most models offered two BIOSes. One was already on the Vista delivered notebooks. On download page Toshiba has offered BIOS for WXP. in most cases it was version 5.xx and this BIOS was designed to support Toshiba specific tools and utilities. For example, full FN keys functionality was available with this WXP BIOS only.
    So if someone of you have US notebook model they should see how to find the solution with Toshiba US or US forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1
    Bye and good luck!

  • Upgraded to yosemite now my speakers don't work and i can't play videos on Facebook.

    When i play a video on face book I'm told i need to upgrade flashplayer, i wasn't even aware i had it downloaded! I have got rid of flash player (i think ) and now I'm told i need to download FP before i can watch videos. I can't play games on FB either and my speakers don't work.
    I wish i hadn't upgraded to Yosemite to be honest as i prefer the old layout and it seems to have caused me problems. Everything was working fine before the Upgrade to Yosemite.
    Im not good with computer terminology so please reply as simply as possible :-)
    Thank you

    Try un-installing and then re-installing.

  • Satellite P200-RT1 - FN keys don't work after downgrade to XP

    Hi
    I have a Satellite P200-RT1, PSPBOC.
    I have downgraded my operating system from Vista to XP.
    Now I am having a driver issue, I have installed all of the drivers for my computer. I have installed all of the HotKey utilities for my computer as well and I still have an issue. Some of my FN Key functions don't work. The ESC to F5 Functions work but all of the functions above there do not.
    I am really looking for the Display Brightness and Dimmer keys F6&F7 to work, if possible I would also like the F9 key touch pad enable/disable key to work as well, which as of right now they don't.
    I was wondering if there is a driver that I am missing and if so which driver is it. I have taken my computer into three computer shops now and no one can figure this out. Please Help ME!
    Thanks Ken.

    Hello
    It seems that your notebook is a Canadian model and therefore you can download the drivers on the Toshiba Canada website:
    http://www.toshiba.ca
    The problem is that I cant find Windows XP drivers on this website. :(
    The only way I know is that you try the drivers and utilities from the European website. Normally the models are very similar and maybe it works. Its worth a try.

    Try to download and install Toshiba Accessibility and Controls (Driver).

  • Satellite A300-1GN - Media buttons don't work with Win 7

    Hei

    i have the latest drivest but still nothing. first button is should controll the illumination for media buttons, touch pad and Satellite logo.
    second button should open media player or something like that. the other fore buttons work fine!
    Could someone helt me solve my problem?

    Hi
    You have to configure the single buttons.
    This Toshiba button support pop up will appear if the pressed button was not configured.
    So press the button and then assign the action, application.
    You have to expand this menu pressing on the small arrow on the right.

  • Just updated my iPhone 4 today and synced it and now my apps don't work

    Like the title says I just bought my iPhone one week ago today and synced it up with iTunes. Now none of my games work on the phone.  My Internet works I have wifi signal as well, also my txts and phone calls work so my service is fine. I've tried resetting my iPhone using the home button and the power button at the same time but that was no help. How do I get my brand new awesome great working phone back to normal? That's the whole reason I spent he money for a good phone I didn't want to have to deal with this!!! :(

    This may sound crazy, but download any free app.  This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

  • I updated to ois 4.3 and now my apps don't work

    I updated my 3rd generation ipod to the ios 4.2.1 and now half my apps don't work. How do I get back to where they do and is there some way to fix this bug?

    - First try resetting your iPod.  Nothing will be lost:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Some users have said installing a new app resolves the problem.  Thus, I would try purchasing a free app.
