How can I fix a toshiba satellite touch pad?

Q. I have a Toshiba Satellite P205-S6287 laptop and some times the
bottom and right-hand sides of the touch pad stop working which means I can't scroll up & down the page.
I don't know much about computers but I think that happened because I plugged a new mouse in?

A. I have a Toshiba Laptop Satellite Pro P100-465 it has a synaptics touch pad and your laptop has either this same touch pad or one from alps electric

it is most likely that it is the same as my laptop as i have this issue, i find it is most common after exiting full screen playing from youtube etc... but otherwise it works

if yours is a different situation try updating the driver from toshibas website, email me if you need help doing this

Toshiba satellite screen is blank on start-up, please help?
Q. I have a toshiba satellite a505-s6025, and it was working perfectly fine yesterday. I open it today and notice its out of battery, so I hook it up to the charger and it turns on as usual, the fan is running, but the toshiba logo does not come up, nothing comes up. Dont really know what to do from here, am trying to avoid having to bring it and pay for it to get fixed elsewhere. Someone please help, thanks.

A. Eventually you might need to fdisk, reformat your toshiba satellite a505-s6025 laptop hard disk clean and reinstall OS. Before going that route, try following simple fixes to see if the problem goes away.

Remove the battery and charger/ac adapter/power cord from your toshiba satellite a505-s6025 laptop, press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to discharge any residual current inside the laptop. This clears your RAM and is like a hardware reset. Replace the battery and charger/ac adapter/power cord and turn your toshiba satellite a505-s6025 on.

Boot in "safe mode". As it starts up press F8, the computer ask you if you'd like to start in safe mode. Highlight "safe mode" and press enter. See if your toshiba satellite a505-s6025 works normal.

If it runs normal now, do the following maintenance and tune up,

Uninstall unnecessary programs and applications.

Scan with a antivirus program

Scan with a spyware/malware program

CHKDSK C:

Clean up and repair registry problems with registry repair software of your choice

Use external harddrive for all your future downloads.

If the problem persists, did you check if it could be your toshiba satellite a505-s6025 power cord or power source problem? Defective or insufficient power supply might cause error messages that are misleading. Take the battery out and power on your toshiba satellite a505-s6025 with the charger only. Make sure your laptop power jack and charger plug tip are securely connected. Did you notice the power jack loose? You can find laptop power jack on ebay. Fixing and soldering the power jack requires professional skill though. The charger green/blue LED should be on. If not, replace the defective charger. toshiba satellite a505-s6025 battery charger lifespan is limited and does not last forever, consider buying a lifetime warranty charger online from company like www.topmic.com

How difficult is it to install a new cd drive on a toshiba satellite laptop?
Q. My son uses a hand-me-down Toshiba Satellite Laptop and the CD Drive is structurally / mechanically broken.

How difficult would it be to install a new one myself?

Any websites for instructions...

I've installed new laptop hard drives and memory before but never a CD drive. Is it easy enough for me to do or should I take it to a repair shop?

A. The DVD/CD drive is a module, go on Toshiba Website. You will be able to identify the part number that goes with your model. It is not as hard as laptop hard disk replacement.
