Satellite L305D-S58821 - Other model numbers in US?

I bought a satellite from the NEX on my base about 5 months ago. I'm in Japan as of right now. But my question is... does the laptops here have different model numbers then the ones from the states? If so can someone tell me please.
My Laptop model is Satellite L305D-S58821.
This is really raising a BIG light above my head as to if the Lappy is a real Toshiba..

Hi
As mentioned youve got a US notebook model the A305D is very similar to the European model A300D.

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!!

That model may or may not have a recovery partition. If Windows runs, you can check it out this way.

Look for a third partition.

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.

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-s5881 - Windows Xp Install

Ive been trying to install windows xp for 5 hours. Been on the phone with tech support for 4. they didnt give me any answers..
Im tired of vista. It stinks (<--- -_-). When I try to install xp get the blue screen of death (which seems to be common) but idk what I should do?

(Im running AMD Turion) I know theres a program called nLite that I can put the drivers into my windows install but I dont have the drivers to install. I know there are probably a billion threads like this but I couldnt find anything the pertatins to me
Ive tried to install xp home..xp pro ..sp1..sp2 and sp3

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
Bye and good luck.

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-S5934 - After XP installation nothing works

I recently had an error with my Satellite L305D-S5934, it was running vista. It wouldn't wouldnt start up so I had to install Windows XP, but now nothing works.
Is there something i can do to get the video graphics back to normal and wifi and everything that was factory on the laptop?

Hi drftking23,
> but now nothing works.
Wow, very detailed! :D
Anyway, I think the problem is that you need drivers for your hardware so WLAN, LAN and all other devices dont work.
Everything what you need you can download on Toshiba US page where you can find your notebook model:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com
But let me give you a word of advice: Just use the Toshiba recovery disk where all drivers and tools are preinstalled. This disk contains a ready image of factory settings with all drivers and tools, its pretested and configured by Toshiba.
Maybe its an option ;)

Satellite L305D-S5895 WLAN driver for Win XP

Hi,
i got a new Satellite L305D-S5895 and downgrade to Win XP for software requirements.
The sistem can't recognize the Wireless LAN adapter, and I got tree unrecognized devices in device manager:
SM bus controller, Ethernet controller (but in a fact I'm ethernet conected now) and modem device.
How can I install de WLAN driver?
THANKS

Hi
Ethernet controller means two devices; LAN or WLan. If LAN card is recognized then the Ethernet controller can be only a WLan card.
I dont know what WLan card this notebook supports but you could install an hardware diagnostic software like Everest home edition and could find out what Wlan card is installed. Then visit the WLan card manufacture webpage and download the driver.
Mode device -> you could try to install dome modem drivers published for other notebook series. Maybe it will work
SM bus controller -> I presume this is a card reader. The same procedure like with modem device. Check some drivers published in other series
By the way; This is a US notebook model so you have to search on Toshiba US page

Satellite L305D-S5934 - After shutdown the power light is still on

I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5934 two weeks ago.
Here lately, I can't seem to fully shut it down. I select shut down from the start menu. It appears to shut down (the screen goes black) but the power light is still on and I can hear it making noises inside like it's still running.
I'm running Windows Vista.

Hi
Does this issue appear always? I mean is this a permanent status that your notebook cannot power up correctly? Or does it happen only sometimes?
From my knowledge the Vista the default action for the Power button in the Start Menu in is Sleep. So your notebook would not power up but would go into the sleep mode.
You can change this like described here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/change-the-windows-vista-power-buttons-to-shut-down/
Furthermore you should check if your BIOS is up to date.
Choose your notebook model (it seems like a US series) and download the compatible BIOS.
Check it!

Satellite L305d reformat

Hi. I have a Toshiba Satellite L305d S5895 that came with Windows Vista. As I recall, it did not come with a reformat disc. I looked to see if I could make one on my laptop, or push something at startup to restore it to factory settings, but I had no success.
I was hoping that someone could tell me how I could reformat it entirely and remove all data from it. I want to start over fresh and new. My family has downloaded too much on it, and given it viruses, so now its performance is lacking.
I am willing to do anything other than pay to reformat or restore it to factory settings. I refuse to pay and put money down on something that I already own. I do not wish to purchase the same OS that I am running on. My funds are not in the right place to do that at the moment.
Again, any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

It either came with a hard drive based recovery system or it came with recovery disks. If it has a hdd based recovery system you would invoke it by holding down the 0 (zero) key while powering on the system. See these support documents for details on how this works and how to determine if your system shipped with this option.

http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/bulletin.jsp?ref=EV&soid=2222431&ct=SB
If this option is not available then you need to figure out what you did with the recovery disks it shipped with. If you've lost them or threw them away (you would be surprised how many people do this) then you can order a replacement set of recovery disks by following the info in this post.
Your other options would be to purchase a WIndows 7 upgrade disk or, if money is tight download a free Linux distribution and install it.

Satellite L305D-S5938

Hi
i have Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5938 and i lost my recovery cd how i can get 1 or download it ??
and how i can downgrade it from Vista to Windows XP ???
Solved!
Go to Solution.

QUERY: i lost my recovery cd how i can get 1 or download it ??
RESPONSE: No download is allowed, must pruchase the Reovery Disc, go to www.toshiba.com or use (800) 457-7777 speak to customer service=have full model# available. Keep in mind that those discs wil be for the factory installed OS. Also, your unit has a software utility entitled Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator whereby you can make your own recovery discs.
Query: how i can downgrade it from Vista to Windows XP ???
RESPONSE: Buy a retail copy of XP omar, full version and not an upgrade, need to make a floppy of the SATA driver for reinstall recognition or reset BIOS to compatability. The specs on your unit are quite powerful, sure you want to downgrade? That was an initial heavy expenditure. Such is life.

Satellite L305D-S5868 boot

I have Satellite L305D-S5868 since more than a year. It was working fine but now when i open the laptop, it does not open at all and it does not display BIOS information and it even does not show HDD indicator. I thought there might be BIOS problem because I tried updating BIOS to new version. What might be the solution for this since I don't have an extended warranty.
Thank you for the help!

Unplug the AC adaptor, remove the battery, then press and hold the power button down for a minimum of 30 seconds. Now replace the battery and see if it powers up. If not repreat the process but this time leave the battery out and only plug in the AC. If it still doesn't power on repeat the process again and this time replace the battery and plug the AC back in. If it still doesn't power up it's time to start checking the hardware. Remove the ram and try it with only one stick. You might need to try each one individually to see if either works. If that doesn't help remove the hard drive and see if it will post to the Toshiba screen. If that doesn't help you'll probably need to take it to a service center as you probably messed up the bios when you tried to update it.

MacBook Airs announced yesterday, a few questions (model numbers especially)

Hello - does anyone know the model number fot the core i7 MacBook Airs that were just announced yesterday? I can find the model numbers for the core i5 models, but not sure if the core i7's are considered different models or are just only available as a customization options to the base models, direct from Apple? I want to buy from Amazon since with credit card rewards points I can get about $1000 worth of Amazon gift cards - no option to convert credit card reward points to Apple Store gift cards, unfortunately.
Also, I do want to use this computer with an HDMI-enabled TV - would it be better to buy Mini-Display Port to DVI or Mini-Display Port to HDMI cable? I currently have a DVI-to-HDMI adapter that I use in conjunction with an HDMI cable to plus my old DVI - enabled Cure 2 Duo MB Pro into my TV.
Also, most importantly, I am concerned about built in batter of all the MacBooks these days. How much does it cost to replace, and will leaving the battery plugged in and charged all the time ruin it, or have MacBook batteries advanced beyond that limitation?

1. i personally don't know how to properly network. i managed to do it somehow, but i don't know the exact process. i'm sure someone else can help you with this.
2. the only way to make it less aggressive is to turn it off entirely. i never use that feature and i always adjust the brightness manually.
3. how to make sure you have all the updates is by simply running software update. anything your computer needs to run smoothly will show up there. if no updates appear, then you're fine.
4. the fans are located in the bottom portion of the MBP. the heat issue is normal. saying it gets really really hot doesn't give anyone any indication of what the actual temperatures are. my idea of hot is likely different from your idea of hot. your MBP is likely not running hotter than any other MBP.
5. i think you just close the lid while it's on to do this. or just set the energy settings so that the screen shuts off after x minutes of inactivity.
