Laptop to TV-Satellite L355D-S7815

Sorry to be so far behind everyone, but it I just bought a new TV and it has a VGA imput. I think I can connect my laptop to the TV using this, but how do I get sound? Can anyone help? Thanks.
Solved!

I've got an L355D-S7809, which is the same as yours except the processor (Intel vs AMD). I could be wrong, but I believe the only way to get sound to your TV is via your laptop's headphone output jack. You can run a cable from the laptop to the input on the TV.
Something similar to this:

This one is only 6 feet long. Longer ones should be easy to find, if needed.

Can't start after bios upgrade (Satellite L355D-S7815)

Hello,
I have Satellite L355D-S7815 with VIsta.
Just tried to upgrade bios from 1.4 to 1.8 , as per instructions of preparing for Win 7 upgrade. Downloaded required files from TOshiba site, then run upgrade,picked to do it from Windows. After it finished and restarted ,laptop is not coming up.Just stays black screen, noting happens, doesn't boot, no messages nothing comes up.
I've tried to recover bios from a flash drive. Copy .fd file , renamed to "BIOS.fd", then restarted holding FN and F keys, but it still doesn't do anything.
Can anyone have any suggestions how else I could do it?
For example what's a trick to do it from a CD (I can hear that CD kind of starts up when I turn power on), but what would be the key combination to force it to load bios from a cd?
thanks in advance.
Lucjan

Please, I need help finding the driver's from my laptop, I could only install the video and wireless, but I am missing others.
I have installed Windows XP in Spanish and I need to know if anyone has been able to find all the driver's for Windows XP.

You're in luck!
Your model is in part-number family PSLE8U, which corresponds to the European part-number family PSLE8E.
Go to the European download site and look up the Satellite L350D with Short Model No. PSLE8E.
When you filter for Windows XP, you'll find 32 entries.

USB plugs are dead, Satellite L355D PSLE8U-00M00WB

I have a
TOSHIBA Satellite L355D PSLE8U-00M00WB
System Serial Number: XXXXXXXXX
Enclosure Type: Notebook
I got from a family member, everything is fine on the pc. but the USB plugs are dead.
the last thing plugged into them was an Android phone, after googling. seems they can kill the usbs on some pcs.
some have fixed the issue by doing a 5v fix to "jumpstart" it back. but i'd rather not, since I dont even know how to acquire the 5v battery.
windows 7 says nothing is wrong with all usb in device manager.
removing and rebooting all usb items in device, to have windows reinstall, does nothing.
i dont know what to do...i want a mouse. attched is the log of belarc advisor. i want to be able to type, without this **bleep** pad picking up the slightest thumb movement thinking its my doing.
edit, after doing a search here. it seems only factory is left option unless I get a...express or pcmcia... can a tech guy who knows, tell me what one I need. a search on google says my 355D is express. http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/toshiba-satellite-l355d-s7815/4507-3121_7-33155829.html can i get a confirm before i buy?

First, putting your full model number in your post, which you have done, is a good thing. But, you should never put your serial number on this public forum. This is not a formal Toshiba Support site, but a peer support forum. We're all just users and other Toshiba owners. Edit your original post and remove your serial number.
You've probably done it, but have you made sure the USB ports are enabled in your BIOS? If not, on a restart, press the F2 key as soon as you see the Toshiba logo to enter the BIOS Setup, surf for your USB ports, make sure they're enabled, save & exit.
If that hasn't helped, click on the 'Start' button, type in 'sys' and click on 'System Information', look for 'BIOS Version/Date'. If you do not have BIOS version 1.80, download this file to to your desktop, after a fresh restart double click on the file to begin the BIOS update, follow the directions in the link:
ACPI Flash BIOS version 1.80 for Satellite/SatPro L305D/L355D
Toshiba BIOS Update Instructions
No joy? Next, you mention that you are using Windows 7, but you don't mention whether you are using the 64bit or 32bit edition of Win7, this could be important. But, from what I can see, it appears you may be using Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit edition.
Regardless, your system originally came with Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit edition, and is only capable of using 4MB of RAM maximum. Given this, you should probably be using the 32bit version of Win7, as there is no benefit to using the 64bit version, with a 4MB maximum RAM limit.
Next, as it sounds like you have already tried deleting all USB items in Device Manager, and then rediscovering them on reboot. So, let's try to reload your core drivers: the chipset, display & sound drivers. The chipset drivers control the USB ports. You should only be using hardware drivers supplied by Toshiba for your system, as Toshiba notebooks are very finicky about use the their own drivers, not those from Windows Update, etc.
As you have an AMD processor, AMD chipset & AMD/ATI display card, the chipset & display drivers are included in one package. Download to your desktop & double click on each of these files to reinstall them in this order:
AMD/ATI Display & Chipset Driver for Windows 7 (32/64)
Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32bit/64bit)
Reboot after installing each the above. Try your ports again.
Please let us know what happens.
Good luck

How to connect Satellite L355D to a TV?

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L355D laptop and I would like to watch my computer movies on my TV.
Unfortunately, I do not know what cables do I need to be able to do it?
Any help will be appreciated! Thank you!

It seems to be that your notebook has no separate Video-out port but RGB only. This port is there if you want to connect external monitor.
Anyway, as far as I know, you can buy RGB adapter. I don't know which port you want to use on your TV but the best thing you can do is to visit TV store. Talk with dealers and explain what you want to do. they will give you the right adapter.

Satellite L355D-S7825 went dark

I was working on my computer when, all of a sudden, my Satellite L355D-S7825 Toshiba laptop abruptly went dark and shut down, and now it won't power up again. It doesn't make any sound when I try to turn it up. One thing I do notice is that whenever I press the Start button the batteryindicator light blinks six times and then stops. The light blinks with or without the power cord. The unit was plugged in when it suddenly stopped working and went dark. Can anyone help me!!!

Sir, here is some tips. Remove the battery and AC adapter of your laptop then press power button for 10 sec. After that put on the battery and adapter. Boot up your system. If it didn't work call (800) 457-7777 (toll-free) or (949) 859-4273. Good luck.

Satellite L355D won't boot

I recently bought a refurbished Satellite L355D-S7825. It arrived about five days ago, and until today there have been no problems with it.
This morning, it worked. I put it in sleep mode when I left the computer, and when I came back it would not resume Windows. I pressed and held the power button to turn it off, and then attempted to start the computer again. No response.
When I press the power button, it sounds like the computer is switching on, the lights come on, and the fan starts running. Then it stops doing anything. The screen never displays anything, not even the Toshiba logo. I have since tried turning it on with and without the battery (which is fully charged) and with and without the power cable. It does not appear to be a power issue.
I do not have a CD to boot from, however my tech-savvy father tried his and the computer did not seem to be able to find the disk in order to start up.
The computer is new, so I have installed some software on it recently, but I have done nothing with the system itself or the hardware.
I'm leaving to go overseas in about 10 days and need to take the computer with me - and between now and then it's holidays, which is going to make it difficult to get the computer fixed if I have to go through a repair center. So any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When you turn the laptop does the display flash once? If you look closely can you see a very faint picture in the background. If you can then your backlight is out and you will need to send it in for repair. You can also plug in your desktop monitor and then turn your laptop on to see if it is a backlight/display problem.

Satellite L355D-S7901 Won't Boot Up

Hi There,
I hope someone can help me.....I have a Satellite L355D-S7901 that will not boot up when I turn it on.
I get a message that the     \windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys   file is missing or corrupt.
It tells me to insert my OS disk and select repair.... I bought the laptop at Best Buy about 15 months ago and Vista was preloaded. It never came with any disks at all. I have a product key on the bottom of the computer but no disk.
My son was online earlier playing games.....I'm not sure virus????   I am running an up to date anti-virus
Any suggestions would be great....I don't know how long this old dinosaur will last (desktop PC 10 yrs old and still working)
Thanks

Possibly, but you'll more than likely need to do it by one of two methods.
Boot to a Linux Live CD and use it to backup all of your data to an external hard drive, usb thumb drive(s), or over a network to another computer.
Take the drive out of the laptop and connect it to a different computer via a USB adaptor or an external hard drive enclosure to retrieve whatever files you can.
If neither of those options work you'll probably need to send it to a data recovery service to have the data recovered, but that can cost over a thousand dollars depending on the amount of damage to the hard drive.

Hi guys:
I recently got a 300hd for my Toshiba and need to run all my software; which wasnt running on Vista; so I install Windows XP SP2 on my new HD.
So far all my USB, ethernet, sound, mic and other are runnind good; but when it comes to the video, is nothing but headaches and trouble.
The Toshiba website doesn't support XP, so I went to the ATI web site and found the ATI Radeon 3100. mothernboard integrated, after installatio, nothing works and gets black.
Many things I tried, and yet can't make it work, I'm only running VGA mode and I can't take advantage of my video capabilities.
I need the video ASAP, as of my software won't run on VISTA or runs with major problems.
Please, anybody with a trick or a better video driver.
Be advice my computer didnt come with any drives CD or software replacements. I download everything from the web.
Thanks

This driver should work.

Satellite L355D-S7825 - Vista - Complete Restore

I purchased a Satellite L355D-S7825 a few years ago and now want to give it to my mother, but want to format or restore to factory settings first. It did not come with any discs, and during my attempts I thought I saw a recovery partion, but when I go through the steps found googling, the closest I can come is "Complete PC Restore", but when I select that it says "no backup image found".
How can I restore my Satellite L355D-S7825 (on Vista) to factory settings?
TYIA.

Yes, if you no longer have the recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
For instructions, see the section Hard Disk Drive Recovery using the Recovery media, which begins on p. 66 of this User's Guide.

Satellite L355D-S7820 won't boot..

My girlfriend spilled a drink on her laptop, the L355D-S7820, and the screen wouldn't turn on, etc. I got in it and cleaned out the coke, but now it won't boot.
The toshiba logo comes up, but after that it will give all the boot options, safe mode, etc, but i can't boot and it appears to freeze up, especially if i try and repair it through the system repair, and give a long chain of beeps that never end.
Anyone have any ideas?

Laptop not booting satellite

Hello,
Please help me there is a problem wih my satellite l655. When i press the start button the screen comes up but the screen remains blank in ash colour. And does not seem to go to the os loading screen. The "Toshiba Leading innovation" screen does not seem to show up either what should i do please tell me. I have my GCE a/s exams and i really need the computer therefore i need a quick way to make the laptop.
Thankyou for reading Please help me as fast as you can

It sounds like the computer is turning on and working but you're not getting any video. As a temporary fix, hook up an external monitor to the VGA port and turn on the monitor. Now turn on the computer again. If the computer is still not showing anything on the external monitor, while holding down the FN key, tap the F5 key a couple times.
I think there is something wrong with your computer. If it is still under warranty get it fixed as soon as possible, because an out of warranty screen repair can be expensive.

Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7901 Bios update Pc wont boot

I recently downloaded a bios file for my laptop form the support site to reinstall my bios, i made a boot disk from the image and restarted my PC, the bios screen opened and appeared to be working, but my PC shut down during the process and now when I hit the power button the sceen doesn't turn on but the CPU fan and indicator lite will turn on, also i attempted to put the bios image disk in after this to see if it might run even tho the bios appear to be damaged since it acts like it reads from the rom, but no luck. Any suggestions would be great I love my satellite and would hate for the bios to be such an issue.

Try taking the battery out and disconnecting the power from it.
Then hit the pwer button to make sure the capacitors are discharged.
Then reconnect the power and battery and see if it will post. I have seen that work on a few occasions.

Re: Laptop sleeve for Satellite L500-1DT

I recently bought a laptop sleeve advertised as suitable for the l500-13z assuming it would fit my l500-1dt. It is slightly too small and when I zipped it up, the zip broke. It could be that the internet shop I bought it from gave me the wrong size but either way it seems the dimensions of the l500 are slightly larger than other 15.6 laptops.
Has anyone bought a sleeve that fits theirs? Is it perhaps worth going for 17" sleeve instead?
Thanks.

Hi
In my opinion you should contact the shop where you bought the sleeve. Normally Satellite L500-13Z and L500-1DT have the same dimensions because I have checked the specification on the Toshiba website. So I assume that you did get the wrong sleeve.
I think if you contact the shop and explain the situation you will get a new sleeve for free and I doubt that you need a sleeve for 17 notebooks because L500 is 15.6.
Good luck! :)
