Open Question: My laptop won’t boot.?

Monday, September 29th, 2008

My toshiba (satellite L355) laptop’s vista home premium($240) won’t boot, i went into the bios and change the booting order and tried to use the recovery disk, it will load, then onto a loading bar, then a blank screen, then a mouse pops up and that’s all, nothing happens even when i press buttons. i tried going to safe mode(all 3 options), but it just briefly(less than 0.5 seconds) goes in a blue screen then restarts, i tried using the use last working configuration, but it just goes into an endless loading screen(same with normal booting). i tried the “repair computer” option of vista’s but it does the same as the recovery disk.

so now that i’ve address every option and non works, i’m wondering if anyone has any solutions, i have not tried a file recovery software which i couldn’t find in office max, i’m wondering if anyone knows of one and do include the price please, that and any suggestions or solutions you might have. and yes i have went to look up a solution online, i can tell ya not a single one i saw ended with success

Open Question: Laptop RAM compatibility ?

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Hi I have a Toshiba Satellite A-135

It currently has ONE 512 MB DDR2 PC-5300
It runs on XP Home
It also has dual channel support

So I was wondering if I purchased a 1 GB DDR2 PC-4200 and stuck it in WITH the other RAM stick would there be compatibility issues?

What is the meaning of PC-4200 and PC -5300?
Thanks in advance

Monday, September 29th, 2008

I have a Toshiba Satellite a205-s5809.
It came with the port for an S-video out, but there’s nothing there. Would it be cheaper to just buy a VGA to RCA/S-video converter box?

I just got a new Toshiba Satellite with Windows Vista about two weeks ago. Every time it goes into sleep mode, I lose internet connection. I will do the Lock shortcut (Windows icon button + L) and I lose internet connection that way too.

How can I fix this?
