Satellite C55-A Laptop and Battery

2 years ago, I bought 3 of these laptops for my granddaugter, my son, and myself. Mine is still operating, with many difficulties, and 2 new batteries, but the other two quit a long time ago. I'll keep this one until it quits, too, but I will never buy another Toshiba product, ever!

I want to report that the Windows 10 upgrade is working well in Satellite C55 series, but some function keys are not responding (working) such as F12 Key that his function is enable/disable Airplane Mode, F5 key that his function is enable/disable touchpad. These function keys does not work, others run smoothly. So, I want to recover the key functionality. In total the function keys are 12 from F1 to F12. attached manual of the laptop. And when I plug my headphones (without microphone) to the laptop, the laptop can't receive sound from the integrated microphone, until I unplug my headphones, the laptop can receive sound from the integrated mic. It happens in Windows 8.1 and here in Windows 10. I don't what can I do?

Satellite C55-A-1N1 and Windows 8 - i5 is not working

I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop and it was working completely fine for the first two months. I used to shut it down using the power down option and everything was fine. Then, three days ago, it was taking extra long to power down. Normally it took about 2 minutes; this time it had gone 1 hour and it was still in the process of shutting down.
I was frustrated and held the power button down until the screen went dark and the laptop went off. The next day, I turned it on and it loaded up fine, however once it reaches the Windows 8 page, the screen turns blue and as if it refreshes itself and returns back the homepage. This happens every three seconds making it impossible to open any applications. I have checked if any buttons are pressed down and there aren't any that are and the laptop is fully charged. I have assignments due in very soon and getting work down is near impossible at the moment.
Any help will be appreciated greatly.
Thanks.

I don't know what is wrong there but what you can try is to reinstall original recovery image using HDD recovery option.
Instructions about repair and recovery you can find on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm
Have you may be created recovery media (DVD or USB)?

Can't create the recovery discs for Toshiba Satellite C55-A5387 Laptop

Hello, I just got my Toshiba Satellite with Windows 8 and have barely used it. One of the first things I did was go to the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator to make recovery discs but I get error messages when burning the DVDs.
Toward the end of burning the DVD I see this:
"Failed to read the following file.
D:\ZZimages\ZZimages\install25.swm
(error Code: 02014F-20-0000000)"
Or this slightly different error messages:
"Failed to read the following file.
D:\ZZimages\ZZimages\install16.swm
(error Code: 02014F-20-0000000)"
Lost
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If the problem is the recovery partition on your hard drive instead of the DVD's you will have to call Tech support 1-800-457-7777 , Call while you still have 90 days free tech support.
Post your findings, thanks!

Satellite L455 - Power plug and battery LEDs on and it flashing orange

I have a Satellite L455 that has been working perfectly for over six months now but from two weeks ago it started behaving strangely.
I switched off the machine normally in the evening as I was going to sleep. In the morning when I switched it on it powered on, HDD and Power On Leds blinked blue for a few seconds then they went off. Machine did not boot. I tried to switch it on again and it did the same thing. Then I saw the 'power plug on' and 'Battery On' Leds flashing orange at the same time. I unplugged the power adapter. The two leds were still flashing but machine will not power up. I removed the battery for a bout 5 minutes then reinserted it and the machine worked fine the whole day.
I switched it off removed the power plug and in the morning still it would not boot until when I removed the battery for a few minutes then it works again. The battery is charging fine as when I remove it and reinsert it even without plugging power cable still fires up and perfectly works.
Then I removed the battery and the power plug and pressed the power button for thirty seconds to discharge the machine and then put back power and battery and it worked until I switched off again and removed power then it did not come on again.
If I just shut down machine and I dont switch off power plug then I can switch back on and work with the machine with no hassle even for three days continuously.
What could be wrong? Any help will really be appreciated.
Regards
Yusuf

Hi chidzungo,
This must be definitely a hardware malfunction but its strange why it appears every day after you have shut down the notebook. Do you use original Toshiba AC/DC adapter and battery? Have you connected external devices to your notebook? If yes remove them before you turn on your notebook.
What BIOS version is installed at the moment? You should look on Toshiba website for an update. BIOS update could also help and its worth a try.
Before you start the BIOS update read the BIOS update instructions [HERE|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=60]
Satellite L455 seems to be an US model so the BIOS update can be downloaded on Toshiba US page but check the exact part number first:

Satellite A205 - Start up and battery removal/insertion

My Satellite A205-S4607 will be two years old in May 2009 (purchased at a retailer).
Have been reasonably satisfied with the equipment, but in the last few months several times I've had start up issues. But the solution so far, luckily, turns out to be simple. I just take out and reinsert the battery and start up performs as usual. Is this a warning sign of something? This has happened about three times over a span of 4 or so months. It just happened again today. Is this normal?
I do carry it with me more than I used to so that could be a contributing factor with the movement, but don't see why it would be working itself loose.
After all, laptops were designed to move around.
Thanks in advance for anyone's input!

If the laptop doesn't post from time to time there could be and issue with the mainboard shorting out.
By re seating the battery this fixes the issue then it seems to be a short somewhere on the mainboard.
If its an intermittant issue then its possible theres something loose, maybe ram needs re seating.
Have you dropped your laptop in the past? Not enough to damage it, just a little bit to dislodge ram.

RTC Battery Replacement - C55-B5200 Laptop

Where ias the RTC battery located on a Satellite C55-B5200 laptop. Need to be replaced.

Satellite C55-A-1N1 - multi touch and downloading Toshiba Life Space

Hello people,
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1N1 and the Multi-touch functionality has stopped working. It is not recognising any swipes or pinches or rotation movements.
Furthermore, i would like to enquire how i can download Toshiba Life Space on this laptop please.
I would really appreciate your time and support in this matter please.
Thank you very much!

Hi
Check please touchpad settings (Properties for Synaptics) and touchpad functionality. Be sure all options you need are enabled.
Toshiba Life Space
I presume you want to use Bulletin Board and Reel Time, right? If Im remembering well this was offered few years ago and it was worked with older machines and Windows 7. These applications can be downloaded on Toshiba support and download page but I don't know if they will work with Win8.

Satellite C55-A-1NU - RAM upgrade information and SSD upgrade

I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1NU and I want to know if is possible to replace the optical drive with a SSD? Can anyone tell me what do I need to do? What kind of rack and SSD should I buy. Thanks
Also I want to improve the ram memory the laptop has only 1 slot 4 gb ddr3 1600 mhz but is single channel. What model should I buy to work in dual channel I use cpu z to identify the model and it shows me hmt451s6mfr8a do I need exactly this one or I can put 2 of other manufacture ty.

This upgrade with SSD is not supported by Toshiba so all you do is on your risk. Check please this forum. If Im remembering well some people have already posted own experiences.
I think in most cases they have ordered such HDD/SSD caddy but disc drive was not recognized at all.
In my opinion you should not do such upgrade.
RAM
According notebook specification you can upgrade RAM up to 16 GB and at the bottom side under memory cover you should find two memory slots. How to upgrade RAM is described in users manuals. Check please page 72.
Compatible RAM modules for your notebook model are:
4GB DDR3L-1600 - PA5104U-1M4G
8GB DDR3L-1600 - PA5104U-1M8G

Satellite C55-B5355 Wifi intermittent connection, slow connection

I have a Satellite C55-B5355 with and Artheros Wifi chipset. Bought this about 6 months ago. Wifi for some reason has stopped wsorking well. Break connection to the netork intermittently. Very slow when trying to access. Downloaded and installed the latest driver from Toshiba, no good. Also tried settings in power profile so it's not turned off byt he system, but still no go. Tried Safe Mode with network loaded, no go. I've plugged it in direct to the router with a LAN cable and it works fine, so it's definitely a Wifi issue. This was working, strangely it's not now and nothing was essentially changed ont he system save for routine Windows updates. I noted that several others on the community boards have had similar issue with the Artheros Wifi. Anyone know what the story is?? Disappointed that this would happen one a new laptop. I've owned Toshiba's before with no issues. this is frustrating.

Guys, I just fix this problem. Don't know if it's gonna work for all of you but can give it a try.As I mentioned before, I own a L855-S5371 with a RTL8188CE wireless card. Windows 8.1 up to date.Tried many drivers from MS and Realtek without any luck until...I changed my router. Somehow my some-years-old laptop it's not compatible with this Cable modem router I have now.I must clarify, the router works OK for all other devices except my laptop.I linked an old router to the actual Cable modem router and everything works perfect now. There are some compatibility issues with these kind of routers since in my gf's house I have the exact same problem. The thing is that I had this router BEFORE without any problem. So maybe a Windows Update patch must be the culprit.Hope this helps for you guys.Keep it safe.

Satellite C55-A-1N1 - TOSHIBA Addendum error

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1N1 and am having some problems.
When I try to open the TREXlauncher under C:\Program Files (x86)\TOSHIBA\Addendum it comes up saying that there is an error and that the program has closed.
It creates an error log which says that there is no command line argument.
I am wondering what other peoples experiences have been of this and would appreciate any help anyone can give.
Thanks,
Ash

Hello PauPau,
Thanks for the advice. I have noticed on the start menu a shortcut to the same file location mentioned in my question called "Additional Information" which opens up a PDF entitled "Using Windows 8.1".
There is also similar shortcut called "TOSHIBA User's Manuel" which opens a PDF version of the manual for my specific laptop model.
I have also looked at the list of installed programs on the Control Panel and see one for Addendum and the other for Manuel.
I was thinking of saving the two PDF's to my laptop and deleting the two programs from the laptop.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Ash

Memory expansion for Satellite 1110-Z15 laptop

Hi,
I would like to upgrade the memory in my Satellite 1110-Z15 laptop and have been trying to find a list of approved memory manufacturers from toshiba, with no luck.
Does anyone know of any approved manufacturers for toshiba laptops as i cannot find the type of memory required on the toshiba electronic components site?
Thanks,
Sherbert

Hello Sherbert
I have found information that your notebook can handle with 512 Mb max. I suppose that your unit has 256 MB already. You can use second 256 MB module and put it in a second slot.
Part number for 256 MB memory module is PA3127U-1M25.
Bye

Satellite C855D-S5237 Laptop HDMI Output Not Working

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5237 Laptop and the HDMI Output is no longer working on my Toshiba TV. The TV does not recognize that anything is connected and the laptop doesn't recognize the TV as a display option. I have used this laptop many times in the past to connect to my TV with an HDMI cable and it worked fine. It has been a few months since I tried it but it is no longer working. Any ideas as to what could be the problem? Thanks

Hi! What do you show here. Also,do you have any yellow marks in Device Manager.

Satellite S55T-B5273NR SSD and mSATA support

hi
I have toshiba satellite s55t-b5273nr laptop and I am planning to install SSD hard disk plus the original harddisk.
I would like to know how many hard drive bays in my laptop and does it support installing more than one hard drive ?
also I would like to know does my laptop has empty mSATA slot or not ?
Thanks and Regards

Satellite S55t-B5273NR
Why is a factory reset necessary for what seems like a hardware malfunction?
It's because the repair people don't know whether a symptom is due to hardware or software unless they install software they are certain will work.
Best to create an image of your disk on an external drive and restore the image when the laptop is returned. There are lots of free programs to do that. Here are some.
   Backup & Recovery Free by Paragon
   EaseUS Todo Backup Free
   Macrium Reflect Free
   AOMEI Backupper
   DriveImage XML
   Clonezilla
We image our disks for backup purposes every single day!
