Restoring a Toshiba Satellite A505 S6005 Drivers

Hello,
I've just wiped my dad's computer, deleted the partition, created another one, reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, and am looking for drivers to install. I went to Intel's website and installed the Intel Driver Update Utility. I've been able to update the Intel Display drivers just fine but I need all the rest of the drivers for the laptop motherboard.
I've found the drivers area on the support portion of this website. I'm looking for a zipped folder that will contain an .exe file that will install the needed drivers. Does anyone know if something like this exists or if I could be pointed to the correct files? The list of device's that need drivers are indescript in the Device Manager.
Thanks for your help!

No such thing. In addition, the order of installation matters. Why struggle? When you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media all of the drivers and utilities are properly loaded. And Windows is preactivated.
If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here .
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 70 of the User's Guide.

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!

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.

I had to reinstall the windows 7 ... I downloaded and installed all the drivers
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.

Satellite A505-S6005 wont boot up

Let me expain what happened.
I graduated yesterday and as a graduation present I recieved this laptop. I have only had it for about 1 day and it already crashed. My father was helping me install some security software called Panda. After installing it we had to shut the computer down for it to take effect. It took forever to start back up and sat at the welcome screen for about an hour. This morning I was able to use it just fine but then shut it off to conseve power and so I could go do something else. When I came back to it the screen still said it was shutting down. My father used to work for a computer company and told me to hold down the power button and turn it off. So I did. Ever since then it will take me to the Windows is starting page (I have windows 7) and it will sit there for hours on end then the screen will go black. I have tried restarting it but it will not let me start it in safemode. The number lock will work but it is delayed. I know it is not completely dead because the number lock works. Please please help me. I'm desperate. I dont have a back up disk or anything. I was going to do that today but then this happened.

Satellite A505-S6005
It may very well be a hardware problem, in which case you would want to return the computer right away.
But first try restoring the hard disk to its original factory-new state using Toshiba recovery media. See the section Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method) starting on p. 61 of the User's Guide.

Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 Windows Vista OS won's startup

I have a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 with Windows Vista OS.
Recently, the OS would not start up, it will stay at the "miscrososft corporation" logo page forever.
I tried F8 to start as Safe Mode, the safe mode started but will load some files, and stay on that page forever.
I tried launch the System Repair, the report is as following:

I tried to use System Restore, but it tells that it did not find a restore time that is good.
The main concern right now for me is to get my personal data and files from the computer. I still have other computer to use, so I am not so worried about start up the computer. I want to find out a way to first back up my personal data and files from the computer to an external devices, then try to fix the computer. Thank you.

Satellite A505-S6973
The main concern right now for me is to get my personal data and files from the computer.
Yes, that's exactly what you should do first. Later we'll try to resurrect Windows. This is my favorite way nowadays.
1. Prepare a thumb drive formatted in FAT32. It doesn't need to be large. This stuff only occupies 130 MB on mine.
2. Download UNetbootin to create the thumb drive.
3. Download a Puppy Linux .iso file for the operating system.
4. Run Unetbootin-windows-xxx.exe and point it to the Lupu-xxx.iso file to create a bootable drive.
5. When you power on your computer, hold down the F12 key. That should give you the opportunity to choose the boot drive.
6. For some tips, scroll down to the following sections at this web page.

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.

Toshiba Satellite A505 crash/ file recovery

I have a Toshiba Satellite A505 that suddenly crashed. Worked fine when I shut it down the other night. Wouldn't boot up the next morning. I've tried using the recovery CD. with no luck. Tried the AVG recovery Cd with no luck. It won't run in safe mode. Will load drivers up to avgidseh.sys and then stops. I've removed the hard drive, It does seem to be spinning ok. Hooked it up to another computer where it gets recognised but it won't open or anything. In fact when I try it stalls out the other computer. I've tried UndeletePlus but that also just locks up. Any ideas anyone? I'm a photographer and was bad and didn't get some of my latest photos backed up. I'm not too worried about getting the computer back up and running but I'd really like to be able to get at my files off the hard drive if possible. Thanks.

Do you need any further help, Dave?
Two thoughts..
system volume on disk is corrupt.
You may be able to resurrect the drive by running this at the command prompt in WinRE.
chkdsk c: /r
I am being told that I don't have permission to do that.
You've apparently solved this somehow.
The usual remedy is to take ownership of the files/folders. See KB823306.

1 month Toshiba satellite A505 s6033 freezing randomly and blank screen on startup

Hi,
My Toshiba satellite A505 s6033 start freezing last night when I was surfing the internet. After pressing 5 seconds or more the power button the computer turned off. After that I start it back on but all the lights on body worked except the display.
After few more attempts I pushed arrow down and the power button the display turned on, but the freezing problem is back. So I thought that is a windows problem and I used the recovery partition to restore the state out of the box state. But the display is randomly blank when I push the start button except the other lights, and after restoring the laptop still freezing randomly in or during the windows is loading.
When I turn it on in safe mode, it works perfectly fine. When I turn it on normally, it freezes almost right away.
I bought this computer from bestbuy, but I am an Romanian citizen (sorry for my English), my question is : I can use the International Limited Warranty in my country ? Or what should I do to fix my laptop.
Kind regard,
Valentin

First, sorry because of my English, it is not my language and it's been a while since I had to used it.
This is happening to me, when I bought the laptop I had a few times that it froze but I thought it was something I did, and it happened once or twice in 3 months, for 9 months, maybe 4 times in the last month, it began to increase.
Then I thought it could be the temperature, and after a while, 2 months, I didn't had time, I bought a external cooler, but it didn't work... By this time my warranty expired... And thinking it could be dirt, I opened the back, but just by removing it I saw it was clean and put it back, I did nothing but opening... And again started looking for what it could be... Yes, I tried looking here, but I didn't find this topic that time, and now that I don't have the warranty I found it...
Any one here could help me? What should I do? Is there any way to fix it without buying a new video card?
I live in Brazil so its difficult for me to buy parts, I bought the laptop in the states when there, here the hardware are expensive... But if I have, I'll buy... If I have to buy a new one, could you tell me if there is a new one that I can buy that has little difference in price for the one I have and it's better?
PS: Toshiba from Brazil didn't helped me, I just spoke with then...
I thank you for any help!!

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.

I'm running Windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6035 while running Firefox 4 Beta my video card crashes on a regular basis. Solved it by uninstalling Firefox 4 Beta and running Firefox 3.6. Update for a Firefox 4 Beta?

After installing Firefox 4 Beta my graphics card keept crashing on my laptop. After looking at the reliability report on the laptop i noticed that a key event that happend shortly before the video crashing began was that i installed Firefox 4 Beta. From this i uninstalled Firefox 4 Beta and went back to Firefox 3.6. My laptop has not had a video crash since then.

Toshiba Satellite A505-S6033 Indicator Lights Not Working

I have a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6033 that all of a sudden does not have its ac power and batter power indicator lights working. The power and hard drive activity lights do however work. The laptop works fine on both AC and battery power as well as the battery recharges no problem. I tried the cord and pack from my other Toshiba laptop and still no lights. I also changed out the charge cable with a new one after this assuming a short in the cable. Still no lights, however everything works. Please help as I am at a loss why only these 2 indicator lights out of the whole strip do not illuminate as well as the laptop still works fine. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me.

leds burn out too. you could replace or just use as-is. they really aren't necessary anyway.

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?
Satellite A505-S6980 Specifications
Satellite A505-S6980 Downloads
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.

I can't restore my Toshiba Satellite anymore!

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L450D-11X laptop, which I've been using for a few years now. I've reinstalled it several times over the years, by pressing 0 and the "on" button at the same time until the laptop beeps. However, I've been trying to reinstall the laptop recently, but nothing happens when I follow this method anymore; the Microsoft Windows 7 loading screen just appears and the computer boots up as normal. Do you know why this has started happening, and/or if there's any other way I can restore my laptop to its factory settings? Thanks!

Downloading a Satellite A505-S6005 X64 Driver

After having used the recovery partition to set the computer back to factory default,
my computer inexplicably went from being a x64-bit to a x32-bit.
A friend told me to download the video driver, which I think is from this resource:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=SB&os=&category=&moid=2515202& rpn=PSAT6U&modelFilter=A505-S6005&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768663
I am not the most computer literate, though.
I have no idea which one(s) to select.
Please help, all. Thank you in advance.

> After having used the recovery partition to set the computer back to factory default,
>my computer inexplicably went from being a x64-bit to a x32-bit.
I think you mixed up something.
I think your has installed the 32bit system instead of 64bit.
So in such case you have to repeat the recovery procedure once again to choose the 64bit system.
I hope you have created the recovery disk.
