How can I get sound on my tv when I hook it up to my toshiba laptop?
I already have my Toshiba laptop hooked up to my flat screen AOC. The picture is perfect but there is no sound coming out of my tv, only my laptop. Is there anyway I can get the sound to switch to my tv instead? Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A300 Series TV: AOC Envision Series HD

you can only hook up video not sound.. u gotta play audio thru ur laptop... unless u can some how hook up audio in to ur tv
2 :
The only video output that supports video and audio is an HDMI output, any other form will only have video. You would have to buy a cable that goes from your audio out (small green output) that goes into your white and red connection to your television. That should do the trick for you!

Your laptop only has a VGA output (The blue connector) unfortunately this is only video. You need to buy a 3.5mm jack to plug into the input of your TV to allow sound also. I would say better to hook it up to a HiFi for some nice quality sound for your movies!

Easiest way to do this is to buy computer speakers bcuz im guessing your laptop isnt loud enough. Another way is buy a adapter cord that goes from microphone jack to two RCA cords. (the red and white sound cables that go in the TV) http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2110497

Buy a 3.5mm to RCA adapter at just about any place; Walmart, Best Buy, Walgreens, RiteAid, you name it. It will have a headphone connector on one end, and the red and white RCA plugs on the other that you should be able to recognize. Plug the 3.5mm connector into your laptop's headphone jack and the other end into your TV. Ta-da!

It can be damaged if you take them off try to use the air boover for cleaning dust from the keyboar.d
2 :
try to use very very delicate an vacoom cleaner, yes, you can take off the keys but is not recomended because you can damage very easy. Try to blow air and after use the portable vacum cleaner that will clean most of the dirty. Try next time to don`t eat or smoke over your laptop, it is not nice.
3 :
Use canned air duster that you can get from computer or office supply stores. Don't blast the junk out in the house and use short bursts - don't hold the can's trigger down. If it's really bad, you can use one of those pre-moistened sanitizer wipes (not soaking wet) and a very small slotted screw driver to gently clean in the gaps between the keys. BE VERY PATIENT and careful - do NOT twist pry the keys up as they are not designed to be replaceable. i don't recommend using a paper towel or napkin for this because it will leave lint or bits of paper behind. I'd recommend only cleaning the gaps and NOT try to clean "under" the edges of the keys. If you rush and or not extra careful when doing this, you will pop a key lose or off and probably won't be able to get it back on. I wouldn't advise a vacuum as the suction might be too strong and yank the keys right off.

Can I restore factory settings on my Toshiba laptop without backup discs?
Can I restore factory settings on my Toshiba laptop without backup discs?
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop and I have lost the back up discs and I want to restore it to the original settings. Can this be done without the discs? I read somewhere that it may have a partitioned hard drive which may store this information. If this is the case any idea how to access it? Thanks

you can try this, as it's booting up tap the F-11 key, if no soap try F-12 key. might be able to get a disk for price of shipping.
2 :
download the recovery cd, its an image file and you need to burn it to a dvd with an image burner, dont use a cd or you might get writting errors like i did, when done, it has an option to test it on your destop, do it....this disk will re-install your system as new.
3 :
You should have two partitions on the drive, c for the OS and d for the restore files

Will Skype work well on a super cheap Toshiba laptop?
Will Skype work well on a super cheap Toshiba laptop?
I need a laptop which I will be using for school, internet, and Skype. I don't play games or anything, so I don't need a really expensive computer. I'm thinking about buying a really cheap Toshiba, but am concerned about making sure that Skype will work well on it. Are some laptops too slow for Skype? Anyone have any problems with this? Thanks!

Yes, it will work fine. It works on my 8 (!) year old Sony laptop. I'm sure that a cheap, but new Toshiba is more powerful than my old Sony.
2 :
install Windows XP on the laptop, and install Skype, it'll run perfect :).
3 :
Yeah, it will work great on any new laptop.
