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:

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.
ScottinFla wrote:Concerning Firefox, have you checked your add-on list for any faulty plug-ins or extensions? Try disabling them and see what happens. 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.

Recovering photo's from crashed HP desk top hard drive on to my Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980?

I recently had my HP desk top crash.The HP says it cannot find any operating system but powers up and I do not have any kind of recovery disc for it. Is there any way to connect the hard drive to my Toshiba to recover the documents and photos? I'm not to computer savy but, with guidance I can probably figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

In that case you'll need to see if one of these recovery tools provides a self booting disk option to recover the data or take the hard drive out of the HP, put it in a usb external enclosure for that type of drive (not sure if it is SATA or EIDE), connect it to your Toshiba, and run the recovery software from the Toshiba.

Hello,
Do the upper and lower filter troubleshooting.
Click on start, type REGEDIT on seach programs and files then hit enter.
It will go directly to registry editor.
Look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE click on + sign or the arrow then look for SYSTEM click on + sign or the arrow then look for CurrentControlSet click on + sign or the arrow then look for Control click on + sign or the arrow then look for Class click on + sign or the arrow then look for {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} click on + sign or the arrow then look on the right part of the window, look for LowerFilter and upper filter. Delete them or even if you can only find one of them, just delete it then restart the laptop.

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?

Hard disk error on Toshiba Satellite A505 56980

Hello,
Windows keeps bringing up a notification that the hard disk on my Toshiba laptop(A505 56980) has errors. It recommends for me to get hardware technical support to determine if the disk can be repaired or needs to be replaced.
My disk name is TOSHIBA MK5055GSX and I have only one volume C:\ drive.
I am running my antivirus scan just to make sure I don't have any active viruses or trojans damaging my hard drive. My computer freezes for a few seconds on and off. Not sure if this is related to the hard disk error.
I have backed up all my info and also created system recovery disk. I also have the recovery disks from when I got the laptop.
My question is how do I go about diagnosing the hard disk error and geting it fixed? What is the warranty for hard disks? I bought this laptop beginning of last year.
I appreciate any help I can get to resolve this problem.
Thanks

Perhaps your model name/number is Satellite A505-S6980?

Restart your system, when you see the Toshiba logo start pressing the F8 key repeatedly until you enter the Advanced Boot Options Menu, choose 'Repair Your Computer'.
This should take you to the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRe)
Select 'Command Prompt', and type in this command, hit the 'Enter' key, and restart your computer:
chkdsk c: /r
This will check your hard drive, try to recover any corrupted files/data it can, and repair any problems it can. It takes a while to run anyway. But, if there are problems with your hard drive, it could take many hours. Just keep checking back, it will give a report as it goes, and when it's finished.
Let us know the results. Good luck.

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.

Sound and Mouse Problem on Toshiba Satellite A505 S6005 - Related?

Hello-
I bought my A505 back at the end of April and have had these two annoying problems that I have been trying to solve for about three plus months now. The first started right out of the box as it were and it involves the sound "burping" at me periodically. It's a hard sound to describe. It's kind of like a digital croak or a stutter all rolled into one. It now likes to do this exactly at midnight every night, when the CPU usage will spike, but I can't find anything running at that time (I don't have any virus scans, defrags, etc. set for that time). High CPU usage normally doesn't cause this anyway - I'll be running how many programs and the sound will be fine.
My other problem is a recent one and that is that the mouse pointer will periodically just hang up for a few seconds every so often. It's not a battery problem (I use a wireless Logitech) seeing as I keep it well fed and I tried using a wired mouse and got the same hang up.
Are these two problems related? I've tried to find information on this but haven't found anything useful to me. I've tried turning down the fancy settings on my Windows, turning of my webcam and microphone, everything.
I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks!

Hi PhiPsiVol354
corrupted CMOS occurs when there is strange problem happen to laptop
Not necessary that corrupted CMOS prevent laptop from booting , may laptop boot successfully but CMOS not recognize the component of your laptop like sound card or video card or any other part specification .
so you need to load default BIOS setting to CMOS , but it fails to load default BIOS because corrupted CMOS needs to be cleared first before loading default BIOS.
this work (clear CMOS) is done manually by connect jumbers together inside laptop motherbaord
OR
By using software like HIREN BOOT CD ( this is famous Repair cd ).
follow this steps:
1- Search internet to find and download (HIREN BOOT CD) cd image. or ask any friend may he has that cd
   ( prefered to choice v.9.7 or v.10)
2- If you download (HIREN BOOT CD) from internet ,Burn that cd image to cd with low writing speed.
3-Insert that cd into cd driver ,at laptop startup press F12 to boot from cd .
4-Menu appear , show:
   -boot from hard drive
   -boot from cd
   -load mini windows xp
select second option ( boot from cd)
5-another menu shows with numbers browse to find (BIOS/CMOS TOOLS)
enter that section you will find many tools select from them (KILLCMOS).
6-Run (KILLCMOS) tool , it will show confirmation message ( ARE YOU SURE WANT TO CLEAR CMOS),press arrow button to select (YES) , after clear cmos done , press ESC button to exit ,then press (ALT+CTRL+DEL) to reboot system , and immediately enter to BIOS setting by press F2 .
7-Load default setting by press (F9) and save change and exit (F10).
8- the system restart and enter to windows .
9- If process failed to solve the problem , Repeat it again.
Good luck
I hope this will solve your problem.

Toshiba Satellite A505 - Operating system windows 7

Toshiba Satellite A505 - Operating system windows 7
1) Unable to get the main part of my touch pad to respond to tapping. In the control panel we made sure that tapping and tap zone was enable. Someone said to hold fn & f9 simultaneously but it still doesn't let me tap on the larger main part of touch pad.
2) When trying to turn up volume by + sign it makes a alarm sound (PC beep) and as soon as I let go it goes back to where it was. When using icon in system tray it does the same thing (alarm sounds (PC beep) and it automatically goes back all the way down). Even going into control panel >sound>speaker >properties to turn up volume does the same thing. Any help with these two problems would be greatly appreciated.

ok number 1, try going to ''device manager'' which is found by typing it into the white box when you press the start windows button in the far bottom left corner, the find the device that controls your touchpad... e.g (smart pad etc), it should be easy to find under ''mice and other pointing devices'' then id like you to ''disable'' the device, ignore any messages, and then wait a few seconds, and go back and ''enable'' it, then restart, this should resolve the problem, otherwise its a case that it is damaged, or needs updated drivers or re installing, but try that first...
Number 2, this is an ongoing problem, and should only last for a few mins until it fixes, if the problem is more serious try this: go to the speaker icon, and right click, then click, ''playback devices'' then the tabs at the top? you see one called ''communications'' well, click that tab, and change the setting to ''do nothing'' see if that resolves it. if not i obviously have more complex solutions, im just giving you thr most common fixes.

Problem with windows 7 on a Satellite A505-S6005

About a year ago I bought that model, everything worked fine, sound, video, everything.
About 2 or 3 months a nasty virus attacked my laptop and I had to reinstall the windows 7 home premium 64 bits.
And after reinstalling the OS I downloaded and installed all the drivers, but the Problem I came up with is that although I installed the drivers I couldn't make use of any programs that required the use of the graphic card, I would really like some help with this Problem, because I really need to use the graphic card for some programs at the university help please.

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.

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
