The workaround might be installing Windows with no ACPI support, but who needs a notebook without ACPI?

However, I can not update driver for my tosh 5105. When I try to start it, there is no boot at all..only few light saying that there is a boot error. So I guess this is due to wrong video board, but I am not sure. anyway, I will try boot from CD..and any other advise would be greatly appreciated hello..

There are no new drivers for the gforce 440go. Many other nvidia drivers will work; I've tried them all, the one that I found works best is 7.1.8.9. Setup.exe will not work, drivers must be installed manually. Use the one for GeForce4 MX440. However there will be a 3/8" blank vertical line on the right of the screen. Only the toshiba drivers fill the whole screen. With these driver, I found 3d performance to be better.

I got a suggestion by someone else to cool the vga chip by running a 0.8mm by 30mm aluminium strip from the vga chipset to the CPU cooler. I tried this yesterday and it seems to have done the trick. I did lots of stress testing (video playblack and some games). No problems. Its easy to do, costs maybe an hour of your time. Any questions, please let me know.

One screw was missed in the description. After removing the battery, there is a tiny screw hidden deep in one corner of the battery compartment. Other than that, I could not have done this repair without this online help...GREAT job!! Note: I was replacing the defective video card in this computer. The correct part number for the replacement is P000341430, as suggested elsewhere on this site. I was able to purchase the replacement for 169.23, from the official Toshiba parts ditributor for North America, named National Parts Depot, at www.nationalparts.com. Ordered on Wednesday afternoon, arrived Thursday morning, using UPS ground. While googling this part, no one came close to the price, most sites had terrible reviews, and it was comforting to purchase from the official Toshiba distributor, as referenced on the Toshiba website. thanx again, ron Hi All,
