Satellite A135-s4487 Reset to factory settngs

Hi everyone or anyone,
I have a Satellite A135-S4487 purchased in 2006 under windows Vista, it is working pretty good but overyime many spywares, malwares and other crap got in.
Hence I'd like to do a factory reset but I've been trying with the "0"+power button however it does not work.
Note I don't have any CD nor DVD when I bought it.
I am wondering what are the steps to make it ''reset'' ?
Any help would be just great.
Thanks
Stephane Masson

How about from a third-party? Some of these must still be in business.

Satellite L300-20D - Reset to factory default - How?

Hi,
My Laptop is Kind Of Messed Up At The Minute And I Am Looking To Reset To Factory Defaults.
Can Anyone Tell Me How To Do This?
Thanks.

Hey,
The exact procedure for HDD recovery is described here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
But therefore the original OS from Toshiba (Vista) must be installed. If you have installed another OS you have to use the Toshiba recovery disk that you created.
The installation from Toshiba recovery disk you can start if you boot from CD/DVD drive. Then follow the screen instructions to install Windows.
Its very easy because all drivers and tools will be installed automatically.
Please send some feedback if it worked or not. ;)

Satellite A665-S5170 reset to factory defaults

I purchased this laptop in Feb of 2011 from best buy, I went on vacation in April, left my father to house-sit and he used my computer. Claimed there were infestations of viruses and his "techie" friend installed linux mint OS on my computer and I want it gone.
I want my Windows 7 back but I didn't make any recovery discs because I hadn't had it too long and didn't have the chance (not expecting my dad to do something like that to it either). I know in some of the Satellite systems there is a separate partition for the system restore, can I access that without Windows on my computer anymore? It isn't dual booted, it's straight linux and I cannot STAND it. I also cannot afford to pay for the new install discs. Please help!
I can't use any of my programs and I don't like the alternatives. I want Windows back! Thanks for any help, it's VERY much appreciated!!!
EDITED TO ADD: Since the installation of Linux, my touch buttons do not light up or work, but i believe they may only work in conjunction with windows.

Hi NaniApo,
Usually if another operating system is installed you are not able to start the HDD recovery anymore but you can try holding down the Zero key as Akuma wrote.
If it doesnt work your only option to restore the original factory settings is Toshiba recovery disk. If you dont have it you can order one from an authorized service provider in your country. On Toshiba website is a list with all ASPs.
I have read that you cannot afford to pay for a new recovery disk but on the other side I must say you didnt had time to read the user manual and you have to pay for this mistake. If I buy a new computer, TV or another multimedia device I always have time to read the user manual first and everybody knows how important it is. ;)

Satellite A135: Difference between Recovery options

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A135, OS: Vista Home.
I am trying to reformat my laptop using the system recovery disk that came with my laptop.
I am given two options when I run the disk:
1) Restore to factory out-of-box state, and
2) Erase the hard drive.
What are the differences between the two options?
My goal is to do a total clean up on my HDD to get rid of the malware.

This is a US notebook and therefore Im not quite sure what the exact difference could be but as Im not mistaken the first recovery option set the notebook back to the factory settings.
The other, second option would format only the HDD
If you tried both options please post the results

U945-S4110 Win8 reset to factory, hung on updates.

Hi.
Edit: I put this in the wrong forum. I'm sorry.
I have a Toshiba U945-S4110 with OEM Windows 8 on it. We had issues and finally reset to factory settings. That part worked.
I went to Microsoft to get software updates.
I tried all of them at the same time, it failed and reverted.
I tried again but only took the top 3 (don't remember what they were but they were all cumulative) and it seemed to go, but now the system might be hung.
It's sitting at a blue screen with a working pointer, and right at the center of the left side of the screen is the bunch-of-dots ferris wheel spinning.
It's been sitting like that for over 24 hours now.
Is this thing hung, or is it still working? Can I safely reset it and try again?
I'm experienced with PC hardware, but not with Windows (especially 8) or Toshiba laptops.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Sure, press and hold the power button until the computer turns off. Chances are good it will recover when you start it up.
Be sure to follow these instructions when you upgrade to Windows 8.1.

Video expansion on Satellite A135-S4467

Hi
I have a Satellite A135-S4467 and I would like to upgrade the video for other better video car NVIDIA or ATI. Is it possible and where can I get the video car?
Can I use from another brand the video car ex (NVIDIA from some other notebook)?

Hello
Unfortunately notebook construction does not allow any video card upgrade. The graphic card is part of the mainboard and it can not be exchanged or upgraded.
As you know on desktops something like that is possible but not on mobile computers. Sorry.

IPhone 4s update was interrupted and message said phone had to be reset to factory settings. Lost all photos from phone in process of transferring to pc. Copy of my backup overroad that phone and all the old data and photos are gone.

My boyfriend and I share an iTunes account. I just tried to update his phone and during the update an error message occurred saying that his phone had to be reset to factory settings. It said it was an un setup phone and needed plugged in to iTunes. With no other choice, we had to select reset to factory settings. Now, my phone backup through iCloud downloaded onto his and all of his contacts and photos were overridden by mine. His photos were in process of transferring from the phone to the pc while this occurred and over 900 of them were complete when this happened. They don't show up on the pc now either since the sycn wasn't finished. Is there a way to get them back? When we plug his phone in now it shows my name instead of his so I'm not sure how to get to an old version of his backups even.

Error -1 indicates a hardware issue with the device.
Read here > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
The device should still have warranty but unfortunately any service needs to be done in the US.

Is it possible for you to send the device home and have a family member take it to the Apple Store?

Why wouldn't my iPod Have a reset option to reset to factory settings I believe I received a display iPod it came with games you can't play if you click on them it says for demonstration only and I can not download any apps or games wth do I do

i bought this 3 months ago didn't open it or anything I know big idiot but it was for my daughters bday today she opens it and stuck to the back of it was a yellow sticker saying display model. What..... Ok so we charge it she can't wait to download her little grs and play and nope it won't let me download any apps or games so I tried to sync it with her brothers and no it won't so I google it to find out how to reset to factory settings looked so easy should have known I go to settings then general and yep no reset option so I try the iTunes thing with the laptop nope didn't work I am ready to try the hammer you know where you continually beat the darn thing till you feel better ugh please any suggestions would be so appreciated

You should be able to force it into recovery mode and restore it. Provided, that is, that it's not also activation locked. If there's an iCloud account set up on it with Find my iPod enabled, you're pretty much hosed.
You may want to try contacting Amazon to see if you can return it. Was it actually sold by Amazon, or by a 3rd party? Amazon is getting to be as bad as eBay any more with all the 3rd party sellers.
Amazon is NOT an authorized source for any Apple products. What you got was, as you have already figured out, a demo model. It was probably either liquidated along with the rest of the inventory from a brick and mortar retailer that went bust or possibly even stolen.

My Windows 7 laptop had to be reset to factory settings and iTunes was wiped. I have all my songs and playlists on my iPod. Is there anyway to transfer the songs back over, but storing the number of plays I have and carrying across my playlists too?

My laptop had a few problems and it had to be reset to factory settings. Meaning my iTunes was wiped clean and I had to reinstall it. My previous iTunes (and current iPod nano) has 13 playlists, over 2000 songs and a record of plays going back 2 years (which i would like back since a lot of my playlists are play based).
I've followed guides online, and i've managed to get my songs from my iPod to my computer and thus onto iTunes again. But neither the play count, nor the playlists are transferring with these methods.
Considering when I first bought this laptop I had to redo all my playlists and I KNOW how time consuming and bloody annoying it was I'd rather not do it again.
Is there anyone that can give me a step by step guide of how to do this?
I would GREATLY appreciate this, as at current i'm refusing to sync my iPod again as I am so desperate to cling onto the playlists and plays I have, which means no new songs...
Please help if you can.

The Ipod works fine.
Battery charges regularly with the occasional glitch.
Running iTunes 11.1.1.11
I figured a Nano would probably connect in a simpler way than the touch, but only have a couple computers and cables to test.
I've reinstalled iTunes, but not the full suite, and not all traces. I will attempt this, but I suspect its related to my touch. I was able to connect other iphones to my itunes without issue, using the same cable.

IPad calendar won't open march 2013 in month view; just this one specific issue, everything else works fine. I've reset to factory but it still happens.

Hmm.....
New iPad, not been fiddled with in any way. When I use calendar, everything is fine except when I try to view march 2013 in month view, whether by switching to "month" from a march day view, or by moving from another month already in month view.
The application just closes down. No issues with data loss. No issues with same calendar data on my mac or iPhone.
I've reset to factory setting and restored but it persists.
Any thoughts? Thanks, Andrew.

The workaround for this is to remove any all day events from April 1 or change from all day to something other than all day event.
The update to iOS 6.1 is supposed to have fixed the bug according to some of those that have posted today.
