Satellite A305-S6909 motherboard replacement

I was on my computer when all of a sudden it shut down. I tried a new power cord and nothing. The little lights on the front of the computer doesn't even light up. I looked at the specifications for it and it doesn't show anything about it. I even tried calling Tiger Direct and while they have cpus that will work, they didn't have any information on the motherboard. Does anyone know the specs on this motherboard?

Toshiba satellite m305-s4815 motherboard replacement

Two years ago i brought a Toshiba laptop with Mode M305-S4815 in Houston, Tx.But now the motherboard of it was destroyed by a small accident. I've consulted Toshiba's after-sales center in Beijing, China .but they don't have the same motherboard. It makes me very confortable. Do you still have this mode in US market? I'm thinking of import a motherboard from US.Could anyone pls give me some suggestions? Or whom should i go to ask?
I'm looking forward to your feedback.
thanks in advance.
best regardsO(∩_∩)O~
DOCTOR

Thank you for responding but unfortunatly it still didn't work. It turns out that i have to set the hard drive to AHCI in order for me to install Windows XP. The problem in hand is i will be using this program called nLite.
When it asks me to put in the iaahci drivers i can't find it anywhere! i searched the web everything... still no hope.. i know that my laptop came with 2 CD's but when i searched within the cd's i didnt find any iaahci drivers...
Sigh can someone please tell me where i can find the iaahci drivers for Satallite M305-S4815 please? thank you..

Satellite M30: Power Saver options missing after motherboard replacement

Hi all,
I've just received my laptop back from the service center, and unsurprisingly they stuffed up a feature that used to exist!
I had taken my laptop (M30 1.7GHz Special Edition) to the repair center for a defect and they informed me that the motherboard needed to be replaced. I received the laptop back a couple of days ago and I immediately noticed the laptop getting overheated, the fan did not turn on as frequently as it used to when setting the profile to "Full Power".
After hours of investigation, I noticed that a few options that used to exist in the Toshiba Power Saver does NOT exist anymore. Thus, I feel my laptop is running as in battery optimised even though it's set to full power.
As I said, the fan is not turning on as frequently, leading to the laptop getting overheated. While the fan used to be almost constantly ON on full power prior to the replacement of the motherboard.
Here's how the power saver used to look like "prior" to taking the laptop to the repair center:
http://www.foxpop.com/imre/2006/toshibatecram3review/toshibapowersaver1.gif
And here's how the power saver looks like now, after the replacement of the motherboard:
http://www.ixbt.com/portopc/toshiba-satellite/power.png
with the CPU processing speed maximum of 3, instead of 4.
Notice how I'm now missing the "CPU control method" option, and I'm unable to set the processing speed to more than level 3!
The cooling method does not seem maximum performance to me either, due to the symptoms I mentioned above.
Any idea on why that might have happend? Please note that I used the system recovery CD and returned everything to the factory settings, still no luck. I'm sick and tired of going back to their lousy repair center. If someone can point out the problem I will be very grateful.
P.S. I'm using version 7 of the power saver, BIOS verion 1.4 (original)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I wonder why you did not contact the service guys again.
After the reparation everything should works fine and if the notebook does not run properly you should immediately report it! In my opinion its a warranty claim.
However, in my knowledge after the motherboard replacement the micro code on the board must be updated therewith the CPU could run with full performance.
What CPU speed appears in the windows system?
Im not 100% sure if the missing microcode update is responsible for your problem but I would recommend asking the ASP for opinion.

Re: Hard drive failing on my 1 year old Satellite A305-S6905

My hard drive is failing on my laptop [a Satellite A305-S6905] it was a year old Feb 11'th so no warranty, now i have to pay someone to put in a new HD, pay for the HD and pay them to put a new OS in it because they don't come with Operating System Disks anymore, a good I had already bought a Windows 7 disk, but wait, ...I can't use that, it's an upgrade, so now what am I gonna do?

>and pay them to put a new OS in it because they don't come with Operating System Disks anymore
I think there was an option to create own recovery disk!
I think all info was placed in the user manual as I saw this also in user manual of the Toshiba European notebooks
The HDD can die due to different reasons in most cases its a matter of the time when a HDD would dieits a expendable part my HDD died after 5 year of usage in your case its just an bad luck
PS: in my country the TV, notebooks, computers, etc are covered by warranty for 2 years. Maybe you should ask your dealer for help
Otherwise the HDD replacement is not difficult the HDD bay is placed at the bottom of the unit and you can remove the HDD easily
Bye

This is the replacement battery I bought.

At first it didn't charge. But after doing a power reset, it charged up. And then I did a charge/discharge cycle. The problem is that right after I did my first discharge to break it in, the battery was not detected again. So I ran through everything. Power cycles. Uninstalled ACPI battery driver and reinstallled it to no avail Updated my bios to 1.80, since there's not 3.0 version for my lappy model. My old battery still charges though my laptop still tells me it needs to be replaced.
So...
Is there anything more I can do? Should I just return it and get a new replacement battery or is there still anything else that can be done? Was it just not compatible with my laptop even though it said it was? Any help would be great! Thanks!

You may want to look at the fixes in this article:
Battery not charging, not being recognized, or losing charge
If it still doesn't work, there may be a problem with the battery or a hardware problem in the laptop itself.

Toshiba Satellite A305-S6852 wont start up

When I turn on my Toshiba Satellite A305-S6852 it goes through the screen that says Toshiba Leading Innovation screen but that goes away the screen turns black, the mouse pops up but after a few minutes. Then when I try to turn the computer off it won't turn off, I have to take out the battery and unplug the computer to get it to turn off. Can anyone please tell me how to get my computer back to working normal?

Satellite A305-S6852
Let's just try a basic system reset and see if this helps bring your system 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, at 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, then try to boot into Windows again.
Please let us know what happens. Good luck.
Mike

Satellite A305-S6825 - HDD light flickers sometimes

I have the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825, which I bought back in April. 250GB and 3GB Ram.
I notiice sometimes when I am not working on it that the Hard Disk drive light is flickering for some quite some time. Is this normal?
I don't have any programs checked (I think) to do any automatic updating and/or scanning, etc.
Are there programs running in the Vista Premium without me using the actually working on the notebook?
I hope the notebook is not broken.
Alice

The notebook is definitely not broken. The same happen with my two Toshiba laptops.
In the background many processes are active and it is possible that antivirus checks or scans the HDD.
Maybe some updates are installed at this moment. It can be anything.
Anyway, don't worry. Everything is OK.

My '08 17" macbook pro motherboard replacement has issues

my mac had its motherboard replaced by the recall a couple years back and since i got it back it has been restarting on it's own, if have too much pressure on the keyboard or if the surface under (table) isn't perfectly level.
ONce it restarts - it won't stop until it's level and been powered off and on several times.
I had been living with this problem for the past 2 years as of this february (I believe) until it stopped for 24hrs 3 weeks ago and I was forced to buy again.
My buddy told me it could be because apple hired a 3rd party company to handle the replacements of the recalled motherboards and they neglected to tape a cable that causes the power surge to restart my mac or that they didn't solder the connection.
How can i fix this issue?

Sorry, let me clarify.
Yes, it was the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT recall
It works, but suffers from restarts when moved from one location to another and must be restarted over and over until the power from the surge stops.
I want to figure out how to fix myself (I do alot of iphone repairs and can handle small fixes) or if needed through apple or a 3rd party.
I need it fixed completely, because I'm sending this to my computer illiterate mother.

Lenovo B560 motherboard replacement

Hi,
My dear laptop died on me about a month ago. It wouldn't do anything when pressing the power button and the power led would not light when connected to power. Tried with or without the battery, no led, no power. I checked with another cable and I checked my cable on another laptop and it worked so the issue has nothing to do with the power cable.
I took the laptop to my universities repair shop for a diagnosis and they said the Motherboard is dead.
Any suggestion where I could find a brand new motherboard replacement in the UK?
Thanks,
sorband

NDStray.exe - Application Error on Satellite A305-S6916

Recently, I have begun to experience an error when I first boot my computer:
NDStray.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006). Click OK to terminate the application
or
The exception unkown software exception (0xc0000005) occured in the application at location 0x0022ab4. Click OK to terminate the application.
When I click okay, everything seems to run normally with two exceptions:
1. My network icon shows that I am disconnected from any wireless networks, but I am able to browse the web normally.
2. I experience a 30-45 second lag every time I launch a program and often while using any program, especially if that program uses the internet.
I am running on a Satellite A305-S6916, model# PSAGCU-09S01S, with Windows Vista. I am fully up to date on Windows Updates. I ran a virus scan through AVG and did not find anything, a spyware/malware scan through Spybot S&D, but did not find anything. I did not originally connect the error with the lag, so I also defragged and ran the disk cleanup program, none of which have helped at all.
I am unsure of how to resolve this error, any assistance is appreciated. Please let me know if further information is needed. Thank you

Satellite A305-S6916
It's the component of Config Free that supplies the icon in the Notification area. You don't need it.
You can try reinstalling Config Free to get rid of the message.
Config Free for Windows Vista (32/64bit)
Or you can disable it by clearing the corresponding check box on the Startup tab of the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe).

Satellite A305 restarts after shutdown

A few months ago I noticed that my laptop would restart after I shut down and closed it. I tried changing and updating my bios, I tried tinkering with my power settings. I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled Vista. I tried everything that I could think of. I noticed today that if I waited about ten minutes after shutting down and before closing the laptop it wouldn't restart. Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but does anyone have a solution to this problem?

I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled Vista.
Meaning that you restored (not reinstalled) the hard drive to its original factory-new contents using Toshiba recovery media? Or what?
Do you have Service Pack 2 installed?
Which Satellite A305?

Qosmio F10 won't recover after motherboard replacement

Hi,
I'm having a problem with recovery on my Qosmio F10. It won't boot from the CD, I get a message 'media test failure check cable'.
I tried everything I could find here about this problem with no result. Then I read somewhere on this forum that recovery cd wouldn't work if the laptop has been serviced and has a new motherboard. This is excatly the case.
I had a new motherboard and CD/DVD drive put some time ago.
How do I make it work again?
A.

> Then I read somewhere on this forum that recovery cd wouldn't work if the laptop has been serviced and has a new motherboard. This is exactly the case.
Who has replaced the motherboard? The ASP?
Well, usually the Recovery CD should works after the motherboard replacement.
I presume the parts were replaced with exactly the same parts and therefore there shouldnt be a conflict between the Recovery CD and the new motherboard.
Did you try to boot from another bootable CDs like Win XP or Linux? Check this!
