RESTORING SATELLITE L775D-S7340

All data and partitions have been erased because of problems beyond my control. Thought be erasing everything and start would fix but that is not the case.
All ordered from Toshiba with there blessings... I have installed Recovery Media for Satallite L770D Series Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit twice with two different media packages Toshiba sent. Replaced Hard Drive with upgraded 1TB. Replaced Memory Module with upgraded 8GB module. Downloaded Recovery Media again and.....get the same eror message that "Windows has unexpectedly restarted or unable to install Windows....". Is next step to buy Windows 7 Install disk? Did think that came with Recovery Media???? HELP!!

If you have difficulty restoring the hard disk using Toshiba recovery media, it's probably because the new drive has advanced-format technology. See my post from long ago here.
We've learned since then that all sorts of difficulties can occur. You probably need to introduce the new storage driver early in the process. See this message.

Need some Driver Help / Satellite L775D-S7206

Getting to be such a common request these days.
I have a Satellite L775D-S7206 in which the hard drive died.
I replaced it with a 128G SSD and a new copy of Windows 7.
I have everything up and running great but I do show one Error and that is on the SM Bus Controller.
Can someone point me in the right direction to this driver?
Thanks !

Best to restore the new drive to the original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. That way you needn't struggle with drivers and utilities. And Windows is preactivated.
If you failed to burn the recovery discs, you can order them.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
Home Premium already includes Pro and Ultimate, BTW. It's only a matter of unlocking the features.

Satellite L775D-S7222 standby modes stalls the computer

sometimes trying to put the laptop in standby mode FN+F3 stalls the laptop. the screen goes blank and nothing else works, the only option is to hard reset . when this happens most lights stays on and even after removing the power cord the power on light stays lit.
update to the latest BIOS , still the same.

it is a month old laptop. I called them up, their response was to send the laptop back
It's usually suggested that you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
That tells you if there's a software problem.
I believe this could be windows 7 issue. have a friend who has Dell and has similar problems .
Not much of a sample size.

Toshiba Satellite L775D-S7210 - Won't boot, Power & WiFi LED lit

I have a Toshiba Satellite L775D-S7210 laptop that refuses to boot properly. I've owned this laptop for about 4 years and this problem just happened a few days ago. It can turn on, but it leads to a blank screen (as if the lcd is disconnected from power) and only the small Power indicator and WiFi light is lit while the others are off.It does not show any BIOS or POST screen. While it's on, I can hear a electrical whirring sound coming from the underside of the logic board, and the Optical disc and hard disk exhibit accessing activitity. Then, after a few seconds, the CPU fan starts running. This laptop stays powered on forever and the only way to turn it off is to hold the power button or remove the charger or battery. The events that occurred before this blank screen problem was a simple file transfer between the internal hard disk in IDE mode and a cruzer glide 16gb flash drive. Nothing out of the ordinary, just your standard drag-and-drop file transfer. When i completed this file transfer, i rebooted the PC into the BIOS settings. I was going to install Windows 7 fresh, so I went to the setting that had the options for AHCI or IDE, and changed it to AHCI. I saved the changes and rebooted. On the next boot, I got a blue screen error while it was loading the old Windows 7 partition that was left there. It crashed and rebooted.On this next reboot, the laptop could no longer boot and showed a blank screen with just the power light indicator on. And, nothing else would work after that (usb, keyboard, etc). It just stayed blank. How could have this problem have happened? It was very, very random and out of nowhere. How could a change of the BIOS settings cause this corruption? I am not sure if the BIOS needs to be reflashed; I am unable to access the BIOS because the LCD display or externally attached display never prompts with the boot logo. What could the issue be? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, - forestvenue

I had a customer with the same issue. Said it prompted him to update bios. Afterwards, it came up with "starting windows" and just a few pixels of the windows logo cam up and then froze. Couldn't boot to safe mode either. Called toshiba and they recomended restoring the system to factory settings. But I didn't end up having to do that.
Toshiba said it was set to FAST BOOT which is why no POST messages came up. This can be set using the hwsetup utility, but that means booting windows. So, I was going to restore to factory condition.
HERE'S WHAT FIXED IT
To go into system recovery, press and hold 0 (zero) while turning the computer on.
1st, I didn't have the power supply (customer didn't bring it to me) and the power light just blinked 4 times.
After getting a power supply I turned it on holding the 0 down.
This gave me the chance to press F2 to go into BIOS settings.
Set BIOS settings to defaults. Then DISABLE THE FAST BOOT FEATURE (didn't record where that was in the menus)
Saved BIOS and rebooted and windows started!
Good luck!

Satellite L775D S7305 freezing

I have a little problem of my laptop freezing up on me and when it freezes I can not do any thing but push the power button. Here is the specs.
Satellite L775D S7305
AMD A6-3400M APU W/Radeon
64bit 8GB RAM
500GB HD
This just started about a week ago and the weird thing is I have not installed any new software or hardware.
Bought the laptop form Best Buy and the RAM. I had a problem with some software that would not install correctly and had to do a restore, which by the way worked great. Got my software installed and everything was just great for about 4 weeks nothing wrong. Then all of a sudden the laptop starts locking up, and it does not matter what I'm doing. I can be working on some HTML files with note pad and it will lock up to the point I have to push the power button.
I have a old Satellite M35X-S163 with 2GB RAM and Windows XP and have never had this type of problem.
I have one other problem that for some reason on one can answer Other Problem.
It would be nice if I can get this problem fix so I can do some work and make some money.

brad55: Are you still looking for help with this? Sounds like the same problem we had with my daughter's 2-month-old Toshiba Satellite® L775D-S7222. Briefly, after much trial and error, I determined that it was in fact a HARDWARE problem, NOT software as we initially expected, and it was fixed ONLY after a return to Toshiba factory service for a motherboard swap. I'll be happy to write up the full particulars of MY experience, but I don't want to take the time to do that UNLESS you are still seeking a possible solution to YOUR problem. -- EstherD

Driver up dates Satellite L775D-S7222!

Hi I need some advise. I have two free programs telling me My AMD driver needs up dating. But when I use device manager to up date; after up dating AMD with either program, it finds and installs a different version??? The reason for this message is after up dating the AMD driver with Slim Driver, I started to get a error in my reliability history. I have very little knowledge about these things and I'm confused. I'm going to attach some screen shots and hope some one here can tell me what's going on.
I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.

Hi CB! Thanks for your reply. My main goal was to show what part Reliability History played in this. I agree with you about not fixing some thing that isn't broke. I like to try different things; learn from them, and pass it forward. I always have a back up plan that I can revert back to. Also both these programs have a feature to roll back the driver just like the option in Device Manager has. I hope you looked at my screen shots!!

Satellite L775D

I turn on the power and it goes to the Toshiba start screen, where i can press f2 or f12. Then the screen goes black and after a second or two the same screen comes on again. It does this over and over and will not go beyond that screen. Can somebody help?

Hi DerrickStevenson29,
May I have the model ? ex. SATELLITE L775D-XXXXX
Have you tried to completely turn off the laptop, unplug the power cord, remove the battery then press hold the power button for at least 20secs to drain the flea power of your laptop. After 20secs install the battery, plugin the power cord then power on your laptop.
Hope this works for you!
BTW IF YOU THINK IT HELPS ALOT. PLEASE DONT BE AFRAID TO CLICK KUDOS star ^_^

Satellite L775D clock running fast

Our tech support friends are stumped by this one so I thought I would try polling the "unwashed masses":
The clock on the Satellite is always running fast, approx 15 minutes every 12 hours regardless of turned on, turned off, sleep, AC plugged in, AC not plugged in.
So far we have unchecked the automatic sync with internet time.windows and reset the BIOS settings, with no improvement.
Any thoughts / suggestions?
TIA Keith
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Let's start here.
Keith, open Services (services.msc) and verify that the Windows Time service exists and that Startup Type is set to Manual.
If it's not started, start it. If it won't start, give us the message.
If all that's okay, come back for more.
Also, tell us which Satellite L775D that is and the bitness of Windows.

Satellite L775D-10E - No sound trough HDMI

Hi!
I can not get sound trough HDMI. Only speakers exist as an alternative in sound devices. How can I correct this?
The computer is a Satellite L775D-10E. Of cause have i tried different cables and tv:s as well as a projektor. The problem is that I do not have HDMI ouput as an alternative.

> The problem is that I do not have HDMI ouput as an alternative.
Thats very strange. Every notebook preinstalled with original Toshiba recovery image that includes right sound driver has this option.
So can you please tell us s your notebook still with factory settings or you have modifies preinstalled OS or maybe installed own version?

Satellite L775D-S7340 factory restore without disc?

Is there any way to factory restore this computer without the CD disc? It has been acting odd ever since we've owned it and windows updates every daya for hours. I see that most people are downgrading these computers to windows 7. This one has 7 installed and it seems to be factory. Has a windows 7 product key on the bottom. This computer is my cousin's and he needs it for school. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

See that computer's User's Guide starting on page 62 for full instructions and your options. Your cousin was instructed to make recovery disks himself when he first started the machine but apparently he did not.

You can use either the HDD recover or the Recovery disk.

Problems with Satellite L775D-S7305 System Recovery Process

1. Grandson accidentally erased 500GB internal hard drive. Recovery partition was not available. Ordered, paid for and received Toshiba "SW Media-DVD-SATELLITE-L775-Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium-EN" recovery media.
2. While going through recovery process (3 times) to "Restore to Factory Out of the Box Settings" using Disk 1 of 4 - received "can't read from source file or disk" read errors from the following four boot related files:
(a) Boot64.WIM, Type: WIM File, Size: 142 MB, Date Modified: 11/3/11 12:28pm
(b) BCD, Type: File, Size: 256 Kb, Date Modified: 11/4/10 5:52pm
(c) Boot.SDI, Type: SDI File, Size: 3.02 MB, Date Modified: 11/4/10 6:18pm
(d) EFTSBoot, Type: MS-DOS Application, Size: 4.00 Kb, Date Modified: 11/4/10 5:52pm
(e) At end of Disk 1 recovery process received error - Toshiba Recovery Wizzard INITRECAREA.EXE - Application Error. "The instruction at 0x75D5FF26 reference memory at 0x01D700. The required data was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of 0xc000009c." The Recovery Process was terminated due to Error 9c. Select (Finish).
3. Reported issue to Toshiba Support - who sent a new set of recovery media to verify if either defective recovery media or defective installed 500 GB hard drive.
4. Repeated recovery process (3 times) with new media set - had exact same results as above. Assumed had internal hard disk problem according to Toshiba Support.
5. Ordered, received and installed new 1 Terabyte Toshiba 2.5 inch internal hard drive (PH2100U-1I54). Reset BIOS to Default (F2, F9, F10) and system recognized new hard drive as MQ01ABD100.
6. Repeated recovery process (3 times each) with both sets of recovery media - had exact same results as above.
7. Reported issue to Toshiba Support and asked because obtained same "can't read boot related source file errors" on two sets of recovery media with two different hard drives - was there a possibility of defective recovery media, or some other problem?
8. Toshiba Support would not acknowledge and indicated could not send another recovery media set because had already sent two. Also indicated new hard drive was probably improperly installed (because of configuration issues) and recommended seek local technical assistance.
9. Sought local technical assistance and was not able to recover system using Toshiba recovery media (said to be defective). Verified sucessful installation of internal hard drive and no other laptop problems.
10. Able to re-install system using Windows 7 Professional installation CD, downloading YTD Toshiba BIOS and hardware drivers, and installing latest ATI video/graphics drivers.

I understand the issue you're having & realize that it's a frustrating experience going through this. Can't understand why it didn't work with the original hard drive, unless it had some bad sectors or possibly even bad RAM. The tech who checked it out would have (or should have) caught any RAM issues.
However, on some systems, an extra DVD should be in the ordered recovery set in case a new or different size HDD is used, I had this experience with HP. Installed a 750GB WD Caviar Black in place of the OEM supplied 320GB Caviar Blue, my created recovery DVD's (3) wouldn't do the job. HP provided me a new set with the 4th DVD for $16. It worked. I didn't realize it until later, the ISO for that issue could have downloaded from the site. My fault for not checking.
Makes me wonder if this was the case in your situation. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, that extra DVD is needed.

At any rate, glad to hear that you got it working, though probably your complete utility package wasn't installed. More than likely enough to be OK though, some of these options are seldom used, & are simply using drive space, especially those with SSD's. I just clean installed Windows 8 Pro onto my Toshiba A665-S6086 & after using the Toshiba Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant to install the needed software (I chose all), it's the largest Windows 8 Pro install that I've done (after all updates/apps were installed). Usually less than 30GB is used, counting Office 2010 Pro Plus, this one is 38GB, was 44GB until the temp files & restore points except the last were deleted.
Best of Luck,

Unable to restore Satellite laptop running Windows 8.1

I have recently acquired some malware on my laptop, and after several unsuccessful attempts to remove it have decided to try to restore the machine to factory settings.
Unfortunately, I did not create backup media when the laptop was new and the recovery media creator only appears to create a recovery for the system as is.
I attempted to refresh the laptop using the inbuilt recovery tools, but got an error "The drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again".
Then I attempted a reset and got "Unable to reset your PC. A required partition is missing."
I did not create any recovery media when the laptop was purchased, so do not have this.
I do not have a 'clean' system image to for a system image recovery.
I do not have a previously created restore point for a system restore.
Automatic repair appears to only deal with issues booting the system, but still got an error "Automatic repair couldn't repair your PC" as I was trying anything at this point.
Please can anyone offer any advise of any other route that I could take to restore to factory settings.
Thanks

Huh...it is pretty complicated situation now. Problem is that there is no some special workaround and you cannot force recovery image installation. Either it works or not.
It is a pity that you didnt create recovery media. This is the first step that everybody should do after notebook purchase. This recovery media can be used in such complicated situations.
> Unable to reset your PC. A required partition is missing
For some reason recovery tool has no access to recovery partition or saved recovery data.
What you can do now? To be honest I see only one solution there: to order new original recovery media for your notebook model. It can be done on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

Can't restore Satellite P505D-S8960

I went to do a restore using toshiba's wizard.... I accidently chose to format the drive only instead of format and restore so I was left with no OS after 2 hours of formatiig and well I cannot get to the recovery wizard because there is no OS and I can't do F8 either to get to it
I am in quite a pickle and I am not sure if I can even get my laptop back to the way it came, any help is VERY appreciated.... I'm not a computer novice but this has me stuck

Satellite P505D-S8960
If all else fails, DVD recovery media can be ordered from Toshiba Customer Service at 800-457-7777. They need your computer's serial number and a credit card number.
