Call Toshiba customer service and see if you can send it out and have it repaired, but from what I've heard, you cannot replace an LCD screen on a laptop, therefore you might have to get a new one. Call Toshiba first and if there's nothing they can do, then you're gonna have to get that kid's parents to pay for your laptop and get a new one.

Newer Toshiba models come with a built in recovery partition. When you boot up, hold down the 0 key, and it will begin the reformat process. You can also run recovery from here.

Every time I turn on my Toshiba laptop it makes a 'ding ding' (doorbell) sound. I've tried to track down and change the settings but have been unable to do so to date. Can someone please tell me how to turn this off ?

simple go to sound in control panel, and turn off windows start up sound

Might be a messenger or email program that starts when windows does notifying that you have a message or email.If so you would have to change the setting in that program. To check startup programs type msconfig in run and click OK then go to the Startup Tab Or that has been set as your Start Windows sound Control Panel>Sounds and Audio>Sounds Tab There you can choose what sounds windows uses for notifications and you can even turn off the annoying Navigation Click

i have a toshiba laptop and all i do is just turn the volume down the one i have has the wheel on the front where you just turn it like you do on the old tape players
5 :
I always give clear answers , the answer here depends to when do you hear that sound ? If when windows start then go to sounds in control panel , search for windows startup sound and disable it , but if you hear the sound before windows starts then press f2 at the 1st screen appears , you intered settings , search for sound and disable it from there , and by the way you can control open/close lid sound from there too >>suzi

How to get Youtube to work on a brand new Toshiba laptop?
I just bought this toshiba laptop TODAY and I'm already not happy. Anytime that I accidentally put both my hands over the mouse, it changes the font of everything on the computer, I can't download firefox, not to mention that I can't even watch videos on YouTube. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Do I need to download something else?
