Flip the unit on it's back, remove the battery, unscrew the RAM slot cover, remove the ram by pushing the two locking pieces away from the sides of the RAM. remove the RAM then re-seat it back into the slot, replace cover and replace the battery, flip unit back and attempt to boot. If you still get the beeps, note weather they are short or long, short-long-long, or short-short-long etc... it maybe a graphics problem and since most graphics cards on toshiba laptops are built onto the board you will have to replace the system board....is it under warranty? if not you maybe looking at an expensive fix.

Sincerely, I am really sorry about this but I gotta tell you that your hard disk has crashed.

All you need do is to consult the hardware vendor and see if the data on the hard disk can be recovered and have your system restored to its factory default settings.

Good luck.

if you mean to replace a screen i advise you have a specialist do it as many things could go wrong and by doing it yourself you have no protection from error, if a techie does it its his A$$ that replaces it if he messes up

I'm sorry but there's really not much you can do to fix this and make it look OK. Your best option is to get a replacement cover from Toshiba.

You could try glue and other home resources but your'e risking permanent damage to the hardware below the cover and a really poor looking laptop.

Best of luck

Hi,

If I understood the issue correct you want to upgrade your system. Please start with the following :

1) Add 2 channel RAM or 2x2 gb to improve the memorey capacity.
2) Please add a 500gb hard drive. Beyond this is not comaptible.
3) CPU is the highest you have . Try a new motherboard to allow a CPU of 2.66gigs to be installed.
4) NVidia grpahics card is the best one to be upgraded.

Thanks

sounds a lot like you have a speaker that's crying for removal and replacement..you could try to use the volume slider, with the left/right balance, and see if it's generic to the system, or just one particular application. sounds like it's happening all the time your computer is on

To switch between screens try pressing the FN key and F5. You should not have to restart you computer. As for the TV error "invalad signal" you might have to change the screen resolution on you computer. You might have to try a few different resolution before you find one your tv accepts.
1. Open Display Settings by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, clicking Personalization, and then clicking Display Settings.
2. Under Resolution, move the slider to the resolution you want, and then click Apply.

try updating the video card drivers on toshibas website. there are some games that you will not be able to use a high setting on. this system is a good unit but if you wanted better gaming performance would have recommended the x205-sli5 or sli6. the sli systems have two video cards that work together to give you the best possible performance.

Check Power Options in Control Panel if you can turn on the laptop again. or tell me more if laptop is still not on....such as power LED..HDD light..Charge LED...any sound/noisy..?

The product key is associated with the MS Office 2013 software, not the specific MS Windows version of Operating System - unless the MS Office lists a minimum version of OS ie: "Windows 8.0" In this case, it would not install on Windows 7. Otherwise, you should be able to install it on Windows 7, Windows 8, or later.
