After working for hours in 90s heat, my 2004 laptop froze. I turned it off, and it would just not start. Only the front power buttons showed any activity. I visited various websites including this one and found out that it could be the CPU, the motherboard or the memory. Someone wrote to test the memory. I did that, taking out one module. The laptop came alive again! Then I put back the one module taken out, and it continued to work ! Toshiba A15-S1292 laptop would not boot, but the fix was easy !

Either the screws are loose or the hinge is broken, from what I can infer. A pictorial guide on how to assess the ailment and the cure for the ailment will be much appreciated. Thanks and regards, Amiostad. My Toshiba satellite A10 laptop has had a “floppy” display for months now. Either the screws are loose or the hinge is broken, from what I can infer.

There is a BIOS password set on the laptop, and I would like to reset it. I have a Satellite A15-S1692. I've looked at the disassembly tutorial, and I'm still unsure as to where the CMOS battery is located. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hi, I was wondering where the CMOS battery is located?
