Run the recovery disc and reinstall the operating system from scratch. If it doesn't help, you have failed hardware. The recovery process will erase everything from the hard drive, so back it up first. You can use an external USB enclosure to back up your data. http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2007/04/17/access-hard-drive-using-usb-enclosure/ After data is safe, run the recovery disc and reimage the hard drive back to factory defaults. angel,

I'll put some Artic Silver 5 on it tonight and see if that resolves my issue..

The 2.0 intel Pentium 4 processor is good for the average use I give to this machine at my office and for my academic stuff. Good sound and wifi. Cons: It has only two usb ports and they are 1.0 so they are very slow. There is no firewire port nor bluetooth. Summary: After six years and after that the motherboard and battery were replaced by warranty service during the very first year, the machine is still working very well for me. During these five years I have replaced the 60GB hard drive with a WD 160 GB 5400 rpm and replaced the dvd rom and once again the battery. Now with 1GB of memory and its brand new HDD, this machine works nicely and neat with Ubuntu 8.04 and under wine smoothly runs MS Word 2003 and BibleWorks 6.0. This is why I give four stars to this machine. More than six years of service is what I have squeeze so far from this machine. I hope that this machine might provice me at least three more years of service with Ubuntu. It is still capable of running WinXp SP3 although it came with Win2K. This is why now I got another Toshiba (P305-S8832). I still use it, yes six years later, this machine for regular office and academic work and also for listening music and watching DVD movies. Did I said you that this machine has served me more than six years? Wow! this is why I really cannot complain about this machine. It is not a high end machine but it is so faithful!

Never had real issues other than heating, use a targa fan. It does occasionally have usb issues so bought a hub. My main problems: I stupidly installed a free version of linux so upon startup I can open windows xp pro or linux (xandros). Now I need that 10 gig hd space back the linux side is using but cannot bloody remember how to UNINSTALL it. Someone said buy partition magic cd on ebay but then what? Is that the only way to remove linux and get my 10 gigs back? Second, I installed a spore game but even using the external WD hard drive mybook, it says my video card needs to be updated to play spore on this laptop, no surprise. The video card is a nvidia geforce4 420 go. Is it possible to upgrade the video card on this laptop? THANKS Hi

It did work fine before it fell right after it fell only the charge and power light would come on (first two green lights from left to right) now no lights come on Would a fall from about 4 feet cause serious damage or maybe just knock lose a board in the unit. I have taken the unit apart and looking for any lose connections. But can not seem to find any. Any advise you might have on what to look for or at as to why it's not powering up now. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 which was knocked off the couch.
