Help get wireless connection on Toshiba laptop?

Help get wireless connection on Toshiba laptop?
I have a Toshiba laptop, and prior to today it was receiving wireless connection just fine. However, now it does not even recognize that any are present, even though there are multiple. The wireless router I have works just fine with my xbox still, and a wired connection through it still works on the computer. Any ideas on how to fix this?

1 :
many laptops have a wireless switch, check that. also check if the wireless driver is still there by right click computer>manage>device manager>network adapter. You can also try to reinstall the driver.
2 :
make sure your wireless power button wasn't accidentally turned off.
3 :
Well the first think you will want to do is ensure that the wireless on your laptop is turned on best way to do this is FN (function) and (on most computer its the key) F2 others its F12 (best way to identify it is look for an icon of an antenna with radio signals). This should then enable or disable your WiFi. If your WiFi is confirmed to be on right click on the "Network Connections Icon" This is typically on the bottom right hand side of your computer next to the clock and will look like two computers connected. Right click this icon and make sure your wireless network appears. If you have done the above and its still not connecting move the computer closer the router if in another room. If your able to connect then try putting the router in a higher spot this will allow the signal to spread through the house more better. If your still unable to connect disconnect the router for a moment and then try to reinstall the drivers for the wireless NIC. Reconnect the router and try again. Now if this still doesn't work take the computer to your local McDonald's or Starbucks if your able to connect to there wireless network you will want to look at the router, if you are unable to connect to there wireless network, there is something wrong with your Wireless NIC card. Things we can do with the router are: 1) Power it off wait a min and power it back on. 2) check the firm ware on the router. 3) reset to factory defaults . If the problem is with your NIC you can go to Best Buy, Radio Shack or any computer store and buy a Wireless Network card. This card will cost probably about 25 or cheaper on ebay.

Yes, the RAM maybe a lil slow tho
2 :
It has a low-end pentium processor and a very crappy Intel integrated graphics card. WoW might play, but it would be very laggy.
3 :
mm...yes and no. your RAM is very small compared to the game so when you play the game, it's going to lag. I don't think you would want to play on a laggy game.
4 :
Yeah its compatible, you will experience jolting, lack of frame rate lagging it at all times if you have the graphic settings too high, but that laptop i more than capable of running it. And for future notice - upgrading to 4GB of ram is better if you have a 64 bit version of Vista, as the 32bit version allows a maximum of 4 GB, but will really only use about 3.3GB of it. 64bit for maximum potential.
5 :
If you have a decent video card on you laptop then your good to go

My old laptop did that a lot and the issue was actually that the keyboard track pad are wired together where they connect to the motherboard. The connection was loose and would disconnect from time to time. If you have restarted it and its still not working, try looking up a service manual for your computer and try that.

As always in Windows, you got infected by a virus or other malware... Go to a good, healthy PC or laptop. Download one or more Antivirus Recovery CD such as Bitdefender, AVG, AVIRA, Kaspersky. Burn the downloaded .ISO files to CD. Boot your infected PC or laptop from the Recovery CD. Update the virus database from the internet and scan you computer for viruses, spyware and other infections. It is better to use at least 2 separate Recovery CD's to scan your infected computer or laptop. Good Luck. Note: You will not be having any problems if you will use Linux, since there are no viruses or other infections for Linux.

I've never compared the two countries but Toshiba has very rigorous quality control standards and they would have to be followed by the manufactures in both countries. So I would say they were equal. Don't forget that Toshiba wants above all to protect their name and putting out inferior products from any plant would not be away of keeping their name as one of the best in the business.

I now have 9 vertical lines on my Toshiba laptop screen?
On my 5yr old Toshiba satellite laptop, I have been gaining vertical lines that stay on screen when laptop on! What causes these and how do I get rid of them?
Monitors - 4 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
The lines are caused by minor cracks in the LCD circuit board causing entire lines of pixels to fail to light properly. They are not repairable. The LCD screen needs to be replaced.
2 :
There are many causes to things like that. The first and most common is that you might have dropped your laptop and the screen was damaged. Another one is that maybe your RAM is low because you haven't restarted in a while. That can cause the same thing. Also the monitor might just be getting old and the LED lights might be going bad. The video card could also be going bad. Another cause could be if you have a magnet near the screen or hard drive. There are many results of this. Some of them can be that the screen gets lines that you are seeing. Another could be that the hard drive could get erased completely. Also you laptop could shut down or hibernate suddenly if a magnet is near the battery.
3 :
It may be something with your graphics card. You may want to adjust your settings with your graphics card. If you have access to a computer monitor try plugging it into your laptop. If the external monitor has the same lines it could be the graphics card but if the external monitor is fine then it could be a problem with your laptop screen. I got all my info from the site below. I typed your problem into google and that is what I got. You might want to try search Toshiba's website too.
4 :
If you see these lines the moment you turn the computer on then it is a hardware issue more than likely a loose or bad LCD cable. Call a local laptop repair facility some will verify this is the issue for free. If it is just the cable and not a bad LCD, graphics card or anything like that the repair should be $50-$100. You could also call Toshiba at 1-800- 457-7777.

Neither are truly unsurpassed: if budgets are unlimited then there are a range of toughened and rugged machines (rugged are more robust than toughened) that have varying degrees of shock, drop and water resistance. The only real downside to a Tosh is that generally they are slightly more expensive that the equivalent Dell, Acer or whatever, but you get what you pay for.
3 :
No! Always get a HP. They are the best laptop brand out there for entertainment. If you want build quality, the dell studio laptop is the way to go.

Buy a monitor from Best Buy and plug it in. You can check at Toshiba's website if others had any luck repairing a laptop monitor. I don't think you'll find many happy answers.
2 :
The screen on a laptop is one of the more expensive parts. I cracked one once and was given a cost of over $100 to replace it - just used it with an external monitor thereafter. But first check the electrical connection between the cpu and the screen; it may have come loose where it plugs into the motherboard or may have a break / cut along its length. Get someone technically competent to look at it.

Where can I find rubber feet for my Toshiba laptop?

Where can I find rubber feet for my Toshiba laptop?
My toshiba sattelite u405-s854 laptop is missing all of its rubber stoppers on the bottom of the laptop. It slides too easily and can very easily fall on the ground. Can anyone please help me find where I can purchase them? (I need 5) Thanks!!

You can buy rubber "bumpers" (as they're called) in a hardware store or at Walmart or whatever is near you and I just superglue them to the bottom of my laptop. I even sent it in to the warrenty people like that and they didn't say anything, and the rubber feet worked just fine! They don't fit into the old holes and the self-stick adhesive wasn't that good when my laptop heated up, thats why I used superglue.

I lost the part of my Toshiba laptop that holds memory cards, can i get a new one?

I lost the part of my Toshiba laptop that holds memory cards, can i get a new one?
On the left-hand side of my Toshiba Satellite laptop, there used to be a plstic tray that came out which would hold memory cards and read them. A few months ago I took out the piece and lost it. Now I have a memory card that I need to connect to my computer, but I have no way of doing so. Is there any way to find a replacement piece?

Do you mean the cover tray, it come out and then the memory card(s) just slide into the opening, the tray is just a dust protector and can be re installed or just left out. If this is not what you are after then the card reader will need to be replaced as an assembly call 1-877-688-7678 and ask for computer parts to order it from Fry's Electronics toll free or at http://www.frys.com If you are still unsure download the user guide and spec's by model number from http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp and read section on using the memory card reader(s). Just slide the memory card into the reader with the printing facing up and then open the memory card. To remove the memory card press in slightly and release it will pop out a little and them pull out rest of way.

Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527

I am having display issues with my toshiba laptop while playing games, how can I fix this?
My laptop screen goes blank while playing games on it, when I exit the game a message appears that says, the display driver has stopped working and has successfully recovered. Is this a video card problem or just update the display driver? When I updated the display driver from Toshiba it caused the laptop to lock up and the blue screen appeared saying a serious error has occurred and the laptop would shut down. I have a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527.

you're running Vista aren't you. I used to hate that. I agree with the other answer also. The game may be too much for the graphics card to handle

In your start menu under all programs. It's from ATI Radeon Graphics. If you do there is a setting in there for gaming. If not, upgrade your graphics card.

yeah try to go to the control panel and then double click on system and then navigate to device manager, when your there find your dvd drive and right click on it and click properties. then when the next box pops up click update driver and allow windows to connect to the internet and search for a new driver. if it finds one and installs it may fix your problem, if not go to www.toshiba.com and check there for a firmware or driver update for your drive? good luck :oP

In order to watch TV programs on your laptop, you will need to use an on-line TV provider, or buy an accessory TV tuner, which will need to be connected to a TV antenna or cable.

if you did erase it its gone including the recovery partition if you shut it down before it could do any work then perhaps http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7C02140000R01.htm if not and you really wiped out the drive including the partition - what were you thinking ? Get either a vista or windows 7 install disk - you can download them on a torrent You obviously will need the OS that you have the registration key code on the bottom With Windows XP there were a variety of disks and you had to have the exact disc with the newer ones it one disk for all Install the OS download the drivers from Toshiba and install
2 :
First of all have you got a "D" drive showing in 'Computer' if you have then look on the drive to see if you have HDDRecovery' if not then you will need to get the OS disc from Toshiba to reinstall your system to the original state.

Any HDMI cable will do. You can find different kinds here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=hdmi+cable&x=0&y=0
2 :
If your laptop has an HDMI port, then you need an HDMI cable. If your laptop only has the VGA port, then you will need some kind of adapter, either to convert it to S-video: http://sewelldirect.com/PC-to-TV-Converter.asp? or to convert to HDMI or component: http://sewelldirect.com/articles/vga-to-hdmi.aspx Note that going to S-video won't give such great video quality (okay for movies, not so good for web surfing & reading text). Going to HDMI or component will give good quality video.
