Satellite L305D-S5881 scratches and hazing on surface.

Hi,
the model of my lap top is an Satellite L305D-S5881. I had accidentally scratched the surface of the area near the keyboard of my lap top and it is very visible. So i did some research on how to remove the scratch. One website said to use tooth paste on the scratch to remove it, so i did. Unfortunately, it got even worse. Now, the one scratch is surrounded with lots of mini scratches which i think you call hazing and it looks horrible. My question is,
"Is it possible to buy a new lap top case not a protective case or a bag what i mean is the part that covers and protects the harddrive, etc.."
and if not possible, "Does anyone know how to remove hazing or scratches off the computer surface NOT the screen? Is it possible to use a car buff to remove the hazing or scratches? How about an All purpose scratch remover?"
Thanks!

> "Is it possible to buy a new laptop case not a protective case or a bag what i mean is the part that covers and protects the harddrive, etc."
Do you mean the upper and lower notebook plastic covers?
I think you can purchase such parts only from the authorized service provider in your country! The parts must be ordered from the Toshiba
> Does anyone know how to remove hazing or scratches off the computer surface NOT the screen?
I doubt this is possible because I think that the scratches are on the plastic cover and you cannot repolish the plastic surface.
Maybe it would be possible to furbish and to revarnish the full surface but this would mean that you would have to disassemble the whole notebook and this would cancel your warranty.
I think the best solution is to contact the ASP technician who could replace the scratched plastic cover.

Satellite L305D-S5881: Touchpad and FN keys do not work after Win 7 installation

I have recently installed windows 7 and all of a sudden yesterday my touchpad did not work.
I was not able to move my mouse arrow at all.
I had to purchase a wireless mouse so I could use my laptop.
When I press the fn key plus f9 nothing happens to see if it is enabled or disabled.
I have a satellite l305d-s5881
thanks for your help

Hi mate
The Satellite L305D-S5881 belongs to the Toshiba US series and has been released for US market.
You will need to visit the Toshiba US driver page in order to get all drivers.
To get the touchpad working, you will need to install the Touchpad driver.
Furthermore the FN buttons are controlled by VAP (value added package) and Flash Card Support Utility.
You need to install both; firstly VAP and then Flash Cards.
Here is the Toshiba US page:

Hello
As I can see you have an US notebook model. I have checked Toshiba US download page and as I can see there are not so many drivers for WXP available and your notebook is not fully WXP supported. So when you install WXP you will have problem to find all necessary drivers.
There is no chipset or display driver. Common drivers are missing and I really don't know what you can do about it. Of course you can try to install such drivers from European page and hope they will work properly.
Check http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads and choose Satellite L300D.
There you can find all available WXP drivers. As I wrote before I hope you can use them. I don't have experience with US models.
How to find SATA driver please check http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=167507

HELP! L305D-S5881 shuts down while playing

I bought a satellite L305D-S5881 about a year ago. It never malfunction or anything. About a month ago I was playing Heroes of Might&Magic Dark Messiah when it suddenly shut down. When I turn it back on, just before windows loads it shut down again. I unplugged de laptop, waited a couple of minutes, and worked perfectly.I didn't pay much attention, I wasn't able to play again for work issues, the computer seemed to work just fine, it remained on for days and nothing happened. Yesterday I tried a couple of games, knights of the old republic and king's bounty and it did exactly the same thing. About five minutes after i start to play, the computer crashes. It shuts down, if i want to start it right away, same thing, before windows loads. Wait a couple of minutes, and it just works perfectly.
I've tried another game, mass effect 2, and it work just fine, the computer doesn't crash.
I don't have the slightest idea what it's happening, and i'll be very gratefull if someone could help me.

See my post, about the same issue, here: http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Technology/Satellite-A205-intermittently-turning-off/td-p...
The reason it starts back up after waiting a few minutes, I've read in other forums, is there is like a "safety" power surge protector which gets tripped when a surge happens. You wait a few minutes for that to reset and the laptop will turn back on. When you tax the system it tries to draw more power and a surge happens again. This is likely due to a bad AC adapter (which can be cheaply replaced), or something internal (bad solder on the motherboard, loose wire connections).

Deleted my microphone on L305D-S5881

A few weeks back, my toshiba satellite L305D S5881 was having some issues, so I decided to try and clean out (uninstall) a few things so that it would run better, but I somehow managed to delete my microphone. I realized when I tried to use my yahoo & skype instant messaging, that I could hear people on cam but they couldn't hear me. Thanx, Mario V.
[moderator edit to change subject]

I am not sure what you mean by deleting microphone. If you are saying that the sound recorder program is missing, you can try the following command:
%SystemRoot%\system32\SoundRecorder.exe

Satellite L305D-S5895 - Functions keys and WLan don't work with Win XP

Hi,
first sorry for my english
I bought a Toshiba Satellite l305d s5895, with winXP, because I need software, but the function keys doesn't works.
So I need a driver, but i can't find it, and the internet wireless doesn't work.

>Where would one find this special XP BIOS?
In my opinion there is problem because most threads here are about European notebook models. so then come question from US. Toshiba Europe and Toshiba US don't work together and every of them is responsible for own models and offer support for country specific notebook models.
So here in Europe Toshiba has for most models offered two BIOSes. One was already on the Vista delivered notebooks. On download page Toshiba has offered BIOS for WXP. in most cases it was version 5.xx and this BIOS was designed to support Toshiba specific tools and utilities. For example, full FN keys functionality was available with this WXP BIOS only.
So if someone of you have US notebook model they should see how to find the solution with Toshiba US or US forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1
Bye and good luck!

Satellite L305D-S5892 - Frame rate is low and YouTube videos get stuck

Well here is the deal I had some problems with my Satellite l305d-s5892 so I ended up using a Windows Vista copy to format it so I can use it again.
But I play world of warcraft and the frame rate is much lower now so im guessing that there are some configurations or something missing. I mean I can get the drivers and all from the website and I got the video drivers installed. Ik I dont kwnnowo if there are some other relevants drivers I have to put or something and some thng else you tube videos get momentary stuck every now and then but the sound keeps going and then the videos just catch up whit the sound.
If some one can help me or knows a beginers guide so I can properly configure my lap top I would realy aprciate ir thanks

Hello
As Akuma said can you notice yellow exclamation marks in device manager?
Its also important that you install the chipset driver and all other drives and not only the display driver. All what you need you can find on the Toshiba website.
Check this!!!
Furthermore make sure that you have all Windows updates installed.
Alternative you can use the Toshiba recovery disk. It contains already all drivers for your system and you can get back factory settings in few minutes. :)

How to get a Recovery media for Satellite L305D S5900

I am a Ghanaian who bought a Toshiba laptop about seven months ago. The model is Satellite L305D S5900. I am also in Ghana. I found out from the documents that came with the laptop and your forum that I can order for Recovery media for it with no charge on the software itself.
How do I get this Recovery media for my machine as I am in a different country? What are the things involved?
Thank You.

Your T500 can burn CD's at the least and if you can access Windows, you should be able to burn a set of recovery discs.
Other than that, I suggest calling support to see what they can do to help. The number in the U.S. is 1-800-426-7378.

Bluetooth troubleshooting for toshiba satellite L305D-S5892

i can not get my laptop to sync up with my new cell phone (nokia 7510).
i could get it to sync up with my past cell phones with no problem.
it is not the cell phone, because i can sync it with my husbands phone.
i have tried to install drivers from the toshiba web site(when i do that, it wants me to "plug in bluetooth device and press ok"--well i don't know what that means!! so i plug in the bluetooth usb i have from another software and it doesn't work.)
i tried my bluetooth software with bluetooth usb attachment(IOGEAR model#GBU221) that works with previous cell phones (including my husbands cell phone) and my laptop. i contacted the softwares customer support and they don't know what the problem is!! i still can not get them(my new phone and laptop) to recognize each other.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!

Palm 755P (Sprint) not synchronizing with new Toshiba Satellite L305D operatig Windows Vista.

OK Please help the new guy....
I have a Treo that is a month old. It was previously synchronized with my old computer. My old computer took the dive. I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5938t aht is running Windows Vista.
I tried to locate the Palm Desktop via the disk in the Treo box from Sprint. No dice. The Desktop loaded, but I can't synchronize my Treo. There is no available USB connection.
So, I played around with it and tried to get it to connect via bluetooth.... NO DICE.
Very frustrating.....
Does anyone have any advise at all?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Anybody out there have a solution?
Has anybody beside me encountered this problem too?
Please advise.....
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. My first assumption is your Vista is a 64bit version. That being the case there are no usb drivers available which is the reason for the problem trying to sync via cable. You are headed in the right direction as bluetooth is the only way your going to sync. First the computer has to be bluetooth compatible or you need to purchase a bluetooth dongle and get it installed and then get the two to pair. From there if you go the the windows hotsync thread here you will find a sticky that explains the process. Also here is a knowledge base article about how to sync via bluetooth. http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/nua/launchKB.asp?c=41559

Satellite L305D-S95222 Blinking work light

Hi, i am having a issue with one of the laptop lights. The light that flashes when the laptop is working (accessing something or doing something, the 4th light from the right) is steadily blinking on and off when the computer is not doing anything. There are no significant background programs running that could cause this that i have noticed. Why is this light blinking? The same light on the same laptop in my store (i work at an electronics store) does not have this problem. Thanks!

Satellite L305D-S95222
Maybe this one? Satellite L305D-S59222
The fourth light from the left (second from the right) is the hard-drive light. You should expect that to flash because Vista is engaged in many background activities.
If you really want to learn more about this, download Process Monitor and set it to monitor the drive in question.

Satellite L305D-S590 No audio

I'm getting no sound on my computer. I've had my laptop for 4 months now and nothing like this has come up before. Any tips?

Satellite L305D-S5900
no sound
Most likely culprit is the little-known volume-control dial just to the right of center on the front of the laptop.
It's easy to bump inadvertently.

Satellite L305D-S5893 Web Cam Help Please?!?!

So I just got this new Satellite L305D-S5893 and it has a web cam but I have NO clue how to use it. I checked the resource guide on how to use it and there's nothing in there.. I looked in my start menu.. under programs and found a "Camera Assistant Software" but that does nothing when I click on it? So can anyone help me and tell me how to use the web cam on this thing? Thanks in advance =D
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you open the camera assist software it usually hides the program on the left side of the screen. Try moving your mouse around the edges of the screen until it pops up. Or you can look for the utility in the toolbar and click "show toolbar". Then you can click on "start camera".
To make sure the camera is detected you can look in device manager. Look for "Imaging devices" and then make sure it shows Chiconey USB 2.0 camera.
Hope this helps
