Portege R705-P35 - Screen/Lid Flexes and bends - Is this normal?

My screen/lid of the laptop bends when light pressure is applied to it.  I was curious if this was normal amongst the portege 705s.  Thanks.

I too have a bezel issue with 2 breaks.  Looking to find parts and how to replace the bezel.  Will I need to seperate the screen from the keyboard in order to replace the bezel?
I understand that the part number is located on the underside of the bezel probably on the lower right side of it.  Does anyone have the bezel part number for a R705-P35 Protege?

  • Lid flex and bezel cracking Portege

    My laptop is less than 10 months old (R705-P25) and has been pampered since purchase. There has never been the slightest impact or damage to it. The bezel on the left and right side of the screen has developed thin horizontal cracks in the same location just below the rubber bumpers. The left side crack propagated upward and caused the left bumper to drop off. I now have a piece missing (the bumper and surrounding area) on the left side, and a thin crack on the right. I have read other posts about the lid flex with the portege models and strongly believe this is the root cause for this issue (Lid flex and brittle materials used in the bezel). Toshiba insists this is physical damage, and not a manufacturing defect or design flaw. I love the laptop, but feel they may have sacrificed durability for weight. Has anyone else experienced this issue with a portege?

    i have a portege R830. Owned it for maybe 6 months. Also have taken great care of it very well. Overall happy with it but one of the usb ports stopped working after a month and the bezel cracked, similar to the other comments in this thread. Picture is attached. While these cracks are too common in the manufacture of thin wall molded plastic, they are nearly 100% avoidable. Toshiba should pony up and replace these defective parts free of charge.

  • Portege R705-P35 BIOS release date question

    Hi Everyone,
    The CPU fan, thermal grease, and heatsink in my Portege R705-P35 were all replaced recently. Ever
    since the repair, the fan runs near 40% constantly and the CPU temperature is also constantly
    near 40%. (side: I got those numbers from Toshiba PC Health Monitor.)
    Because of some other posts, I checked to see if I had the
    latest BIOS version. As far as I can tell, the latest version is 2.20, which had a release
    date of 01/23/2012. From looking in the Registry, my laptop has version 2.20, but with a release
    date of 12/22/2011.
    Does anyone know if the discrepancy in release dates means anything?
    Thanks!
    Portege R705-P35 BIOS release date question

    Bert, I can occasionally hear the fan on my wife's machine.  On the two I use, I have never heard the fans since I've had the machines unless I put my ear right down to the keyboard directly above the fan.

  • Portege R705-P35 has limited to no sound

    My Portege R705-P35 has at best very low volume sounds.  Audio troubleshooters are unable to detect any problems.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers, but this did not fix the problem.  My audio used to work properly, and I would like to know why it no longer works correctly.

    This is the audio driver you reinstalled?
    Realtek Audio Driver(v6.0.1.6083; 04-28-2010; 56.39M)
    You may want to try using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.

    I don't see the web camera listed in my Device Manager, either.
    Any suggestions as to how I can fix this is greatly appreciated.  I do have my Recovery disks, but I don't know how to reinstall my web cam from them.

  • Portege M400 freezes, screen goes black and fan speed increase when moved

    Can someone please help me?
    I recently received the Portege M400 from a friend 4 days ago and reformatted to Windows XP Tablet edition.
    All was going well until I wanted to move the laptop to my coffee table, but as soon as I move the laptop it freezes, the screen goes black and the fan speed increases dramatically!,
    So far I have had no success in fixing this problem and I much appreciated is some one could help me!

    Hi there,
    I have the same laptop. Bought it from a friend also! That was a year ago. It was working perfectly till 6 months ago when I had it going 100% like yours. Screen freezes, fan speeds up and hangs up once it is moved. Recently, even if it doesnt move it hangs up also. I have tried many things like reinstalling drivers and Windows.....etc.
    I dont think it is Windows problem or drivers problem, because if you run BIOS and try to move the laptop, it also hangs up!!
    Tried updating the BIOS, also no benefit. I ended up opening the laptop and having a look to the motherboard (thinking that I could see something that I could fix!! But again, did not get any results.
    I tried also disconnecting peripherals one by one to see whether I could spot the problem, I disconnected the battery, the hard disk, the optical drive, the wirelss modem (from inside), memory, and even the bluetooth, but could not spot the culprit.
    I believe now that the problem is basically the motherboard (sort of wear and tear insulation problem) and it is beyond my humble expertise.
    I am sure if I would contact TOSHIBA, they would not be of much benefit as I am a second hand user. And if I try to buy from them a main board, they will charge me hell of money.
    I hope that this is helpful for you to avoid you wasting your time like me.
    Please if you would come into any progress, let me know. Likewise, I would be happy to update you.

  • Trying to update laptop. Putting snow leopard on so I can then buy lion for icloud. after restarting the laptop keeps going on and off. is this normal. white screen too.

    Hi
    I am trying to update my laptop to Lion for icloud. I am trying to put snow leopard on first but after putting in the disk and restarting my screen is white and it constantly sounds as if it is trying to start or close. Is this right? Thanks

    So far so good (I asked because you've posted in the forum for PPC iMacs…).
    So what SL disc are you using? The retail 10.6.3 disc (white with the snow leopard pic) or a grey disc borrowed from another Mac?

  • I turn on my computer, click on the Firefox icon on my desktop, the web browser appears but the same screen always appears and says, "Well this is embarrassing" and says the problem is due to a previously opened tab.

    I am online everyday. I turn on my computer and click on the Firefox icon. A web browser appears but not with my Yahoo! homepage. Instead of seeing my Yahoo! homepage I see a screen that says, "Well this is embarrassing." I read that the problem is due to a recently opened tab. It gives me the options of either restoring all previously used tabs from the last time of use or starting a new session. If I choose to restore previous tabs, I am further given the option to select which tabs I want restored and which ones I don't want to restore. I always choose to start a new session because all previous tabs consist of work that I have completed in the past (whether it be yesterday or the day before). I, therefore, have no interest in restoring a tab that contained an article about our current economic situation for example. As previously stated, I choose to start a new session every time I receive the "Well this is embarrassing" error message. When I choose this option, I am brought to a fresh tab with no information regarding work, articles, or entertainment from yesterday or some time in the past. I wish to have an explanation as to why this happens. I do not go on any malicious web sites or anything of the sort. This happens every single day. The automatic error message that appears is "Well this is embarrassing." For Firefox to say "Well this is embarrassing" is not close to the response it should give.

    This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

  • IMac early 2008 screen not working properly, lots of lines on screen, re appearing and disappearing at random(normally slowly), computer fine on external screen, any suggestions?

    This seemed to happen very suddenly; I left my iMac running while i went out and came in to find that the screen was totally unusable, as you will be able to see from the picture it has a lot of lines that seem to come and go a random and sometimes it goes black all together. What do you think is wrong with it? Logic board? Graphics card? Screen itself?.. also if it is the graphics card, is it separate to the logic board or do both need to be replaced?
    Also some additional info:
    iMac Early 2008
    2.4ghz
    4gb Ram
    OSX 10.9.2
    ATI Radion HD 2400

    Thanks

    Costs vary by area, I think you may find out though that spending money on a 6+ year computer may not be worth it, you can buy an Apple Refurbished Mac with much more up-to-date specifications and save hundreds of $s. If this is of interest you can only find them on Apple's on-line store, in the US the current link is:
    http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals
    Then click the link to the iMacs. If you don't find one you want, continue looking the inventories change frequently, sometimes by the hour.

  • I have Possible screen problem with iPhone 5 - Is this normal?

    I have an iPhone 5 purchased about 4 months ago and I'm not sure if this is a defect or not but when I boot up the iPhone and the Apple logo appears all around the logo is totally black except for the upper left corner. That corner has a yellowish/whitish tint when I assume like the rest of screen around the logo it should be totally black. There is no other issue or complaint about it I just I'm just wondering if this is common or can lead to future screen problems.
    Thanks for all your input!

    This is not normal.  Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation

  • Toshiba Portege R705-35 Fails to detect video cam and speakers

    My Portege R705-P35 laptop has stopped detecting my video cam and speakers. I have updated the system Bios, audio (Realtek) and video drivers and recently reformated to reinstall original settings and drivers.  Nothing has worked.  The device manager does not detect the video cam or the standard speakers.  When I connect my Logitech headset through the USB port it picks up both the headset and the microphone.  Both work fine through Skype and in online videos.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem and, if so, figured out the solution? 

    My Portege R705-P35 laptop has stopped detecting my video cam and speakers. I have....recently reformated to reinstall original settings and drivers...The device manager does not detect the video cam or the standard speakers....
    This seems strange for these 2 seperate devices to both fail at the same time. You could also try a proper system reset and see if this helps bring them back.  Power off your system, unplug everything including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold down the power on button for 30 seconds, replace battery and AC, power on, when you see the Toshiba logo press the 'F2' key to enter BIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, boot into Windows, and test your webcam and speakers again.
    But, when you say that you "recently reformated to reinstall original settings and drivers", do you mean that you performed a Toshiba Recovery to return your unit to its factory default out-of-the-box setup, as directed starting on page 60 of your User's Guide? This is considered the gold standard test on whether you have an actual hardware problem/failure or not.

  • R705-P35 - Create Recovery Problem

    I bought a 16bg flash drive to create the recovery files for my R705-P35 laptop, but then ran into a problem.
    1.  After inserting the flash drive, and clicking "CREATE," I got the following message:
    Format failed!     (Note I had previously formatted the flash drive)
    (Error Code:  040E2D-00-00000000)
    ... then ...
    An Unexpected Error Occurred.
    (Error Code:  040EAE-57-00000000)
    ... then the following message appeared in the recovery file creator window ...
    "The creating process for all media has been cancelled."    (my emphasis)
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    I had previously formatted the flash drive
    I'm only guessing here.
    If you formatted it for the NTFS file system, try formatting it for FAT32.
