Q: Will this reset my BIOS Password?
A: Unfortunately, I don't give assistance on bypassing BIOS passwords on this channel.
Thanks for watching! Please consider subscribing to my new channel here: www.youtube.com/@jamminpcs.
I'm trying to move the easier hardware stuff there so that I can focus on the more in depth troubleshooting and diagnostic videos here :)
Thanks. NOTE: When handling the "button Cell" battery, wear gloves. or clean it with cotton to remove fingerprints. the oils in your battery can kill it. Normally these last 3 to 7 years. with a fingerprint, it can be less than 1/4 of its regular life (or less).
On old Toshiba Satellites (C655), you can access the CMOS battery by removing the keyboard. Four screws, no big deal compared to removing the 20 screws on the case.... My laptop refused to boot. I removed the hard drive and put it in an identical C655 and it booted fine (and I backed up my data!). On boot, I got the "CMOS battery" error message so I checked the battery on the old computer - 3.2 volts. Still does not boot. Maybe the motherboard is bad. Geez, it is only like 12 years old, too! Just don't make 'em like they used to! ;) Maybe it is time for a new computer..... I hate Windows 10 or later, though.
Ya if its giving you a low battery error then I would replace the CMOS battery. If that does not work, then ya, you may be looking at a bad motherboard :(
I shall now consider myself a computer repair expert. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!
@@PC_Monkey Because of your willingness to share your expertise, a deserving person will get a free computer.
@@aliciamersdorf4426 :) Great to hear !!
The First Computer you showed us should have been the one you showed us how to reset the BIOS . if the First Toshiba you showed us was a C55D is it true that the CMOS Battery IS the Laptop Battery and if that goes dead you can not even start the computer with the AC Power supply cord ? Mine starts and gets to the Toshiba LOGO screen and stays there and eventually after 5 Minutes or shuts down .
I create my videos the way I see fit at the time. Thx though ;)
Yes, its true that many times if a CMOS battery is dead, the computer wont start. Before the operating system can boot up, BIOS has to load. If BIOS cant load, there is no system to start the operating system.
However, if your seeing the Toshiba logo, then thats a good indicator that BIOS has loaded successfully and has handed over the boot up sequence to the operating system. The operating system is what is failing to load, not BIOS. Can you try the steps seen here? th-cam.com/video/2Hh1wIS9NDo/w-d-xo.html
Just checked the manual for a Toshiba Sat. L50D-B laptop - BIOS/RTC low battery is directly dependent on the main battery. I infer from that that there is no CMOS Battery on this type of model (which looks otherwise exactly as the laptop shown first in the video). As you correctly pointed out. Rather confusing ...
Can you tell me where the CMOS reset pins are on a Toshiba S75DT-A7330. Removing the CMOS battery does not cause a BIOS reset. It requires CMOS be shorted out to reset. Computer is locked up with a System lost P/W and not accessible. Thank for any help you can provide.
This procedure does reset most BIOS settings. It does not reset the BIOS password however. Unfortunately, at this time, I do not assist with bypassing BIOS passwords on this channel
@@PC_Monkey Understood. Unfortunately the Toshiba Authorized Service cost for this is out of my range. Other (older) Toshiba laptop models have more CMOS reset documentation available. Some would even reset simply by removing the BIOS battery for 20 or so minutes. And other models have clearly marked "pins" which can be shorted out- not so for this model. I have drilled down on the internet in search of an answer to this issue; so far. w/o success. The System P/W is result of a mean spirited person's attempt to cause emotional distress; however, I am not so easily damaged, or abused. I know this can be solved, though it might take some time... Thank you for getting back to me so promptly with your reply.
@@davidappel2844 Good luck !! Let me know how it goes :)
I need to know the same what points to short. I have a toshiba p300 1A8
Hello, Satellite A500 1GL. it stop working with a "unexpected kernel mode trap" fault after having done some work , BIOS is working, startup options too, it starts on an USB without trouble; I find 3 V on the battery, no clock problem. I was ready to try to flash the BIOS, but also try another HD. this is a 2012 laptop, could a "bios reset" help ? I did not thought of doing that. Thanks for the idea
Does a Toshiba satellite C55-B5382 have a CMOS Battery?
My friend had forgotten the bios password. If there no CMOS battery, could I take the long battery out and press power button for 15 minutes to power to leave out of the chips?
In most cases, this procedure does not reset the BIOS password. Only the BIOS system settings.
@@PC_MonkeyIt worked for reset the first password screen now on second password screen for HDD, is there a way to reset a Toshiba hard drive password?
I have Toshiba Satellite P775-S7100. It runs on Windows 10. Suddenly the windows wont start anymore. When pushing the start button, windows logo shows up for few secs, then disappears into black screen for a minute, then windows logo comes back up forvfew seconds, then disappears into black screen. This is just going on forever. And I cannot get to BIOS. I tried pushing bios button right after turning on, didn’t work. Can you please help?
1. Are you able to find any Recovery or Repair options in BIOS?
2. If not, are you able to try the steps seen here? th-cam.com/video/2Hh1wIS9NDo/w-d-xo.html
I have a satellite C55D-B5212 which as far as I can tell does not have a CMOS battery. Where the CMOS battery would go, it looks like it is integrated into the motherboard. I have left the laptop on for a couple of days, but when you power it off and back on, you still get the RTC battery is low message and takes you into the BIOS setup once you hit the enter key. Once you set the date and time and save the settings you will get the RTC message again if you ever turn the laptop off and back on. Is there a fix for this or you just have to leave your laptop on all the time.? I am going to check and see if there is an BIOS, or some other, update that will fix the problem.
Sounds like the CMOS battery has failed. You would need to replace it. If its soldered onto the motherboard, you would need to remove it and replace it. Either you can do that with the correct equipment or a shop can do it for you. If not, the motherboard would have to be replaced.
Hi. Slightly off topic, but my laptop shows that it is fully charged, but the charging light is still showing amber rather than green. I've changed the battery and charging port recently, but that doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. Could it be a case that bios need to be reset?
The laptop is a Toshiba C670 (motherboard, ram, fan and screen ribbon cable changed last year. Crucial SSD 2TB hard drive installed 3 months ago).
Is the only thing wrong is that the LED is not the correct color? Is there any other indication that the battery is not fully charged?
That seems to be the only problem. Battery holds charge and runs for 4h30mins on its own. Charging time isn't suspiciously quick or too slow.
@@3sray1 I wouldnt worry about the LED then :) Its prob just a malfunctioning board and not worth opening up the computer to fix and risk breaking things.
Thanks for the help. Motherboard is operating normally. Everything else is perfect. So I’ll just leave it alone.
Hello I have a toshiba portege x30-d and i can’t find where the cmos battery is because my laptop is having a problem in date and time that keeps resetting from bios please help.
Is this the same as your computer? th-cam.com/video/qsDTbHDbB2s/w-d-xo.html
If so, it may not have a CMOS battery :( The issue would mean either needing a motherboard replacement or motherboard / BIOS repair :(
Hi, how about Toshiba C55-B815. Does it have CMOS Battery? if yes, where is the location? Thank You!
Some C55-B models do and some dont. Sorry, I dont have one at the moment
I have a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5377. For a few weeks, when I boot it up, it would give a wrong time and I had to go into the CONTROL PANEL to adjust it. The last few times it would not even boot up, with a message that my battery was low and direct me to reset the time in BIOS, then it would boot up. I think it's time for me to replace the button battery. But what to do next after I replace it to make work as before? What's the size of the battery?
Just replacing it with a new one should do the trick :) Nothing needed after except correcting the Date/Time settings in BIOS. I usually purchase my CMOS Batteries on Ebay or Amazon. Just make sure its the same Volt as yours now.
Hmm I lost time when I shut down my old Toshiba laptop. Also when I click shutdown it acts like it wants to shut down screens goes blank but just goes to the lock screen (not sure if thats a symptom of dead bios battery). Do you know if the Toshiba L855-S5240 uses a cmos battery ? If so is it like the normal CR-2032 model?
I found out this model does use the standard Cr-2032 just take the biggest panel off the back held by one screw to access. Ill leave this up for any further google searches. Not sure if this would prevent Win 10 from shutting down. Don’t have any spare cmos batteries to test rn 😢
Question: Whenever I unplug my charger, my laptop shutdown instantly without using the battery and when I plug it back in it will start automatically without me pressing the power button and will display the checksum error which will automatically take me to the BIOS menu. I don't know if your solution will help with this problem, it started few days ago, and it's not like my battery is damaged, please help me.
Does this help? th-cam.com/video/yjaOdNj_JbA/w-d-xo.html
Hi, i have a toshiba laptop like yours but i can't see the CMOS besides those two small, is there anymore?
What model computer do you have?
@@PC_Monkey Hi, thanks for the answer. It's Toshiba Satellite C50-B. I bought a new battery then i updated the BIOS, but after that, it didn't turn on, i installed a new Windows, but when it restarts to configure the Windows, it gets stuck on "Getting the Devices Ready".

I have a toshiba harman/kardon laptop and the mother board is different and I dont see the bios battery here.
One of my laptops is a Toshiba Satellite e55-a5114. Does the motherboard of a TPM header?
Magic! The motherboard in motherboard out! G thanks
Happy to help :) Always here if needed !!
Hello, already did this but during the bios setup on the PC after I change the date and time and choose save, the PC goes off. When I boot I get the prompt to go set time and date again indicating that it did not save
Perhaps the CMOS battery needs to be replaced if BIOS is not saving the settings. It could mean that its loosing power when the computer turns off
Man, i had forgotton the windows password on our old toshiba satellite c6550-s5518. Somehow i changed the bios password, saved it, then remembered the windows password. Now i cant remember the bios password i put in. Aby way you know of to reset the bios on this model? Cant find anything to jump inside under the ram cards or a battery.....
Sry :( I dont help with BIOS password bypassing on this channel :(
I just bought 2 laptops I went to take out my cmos battery to reset the bios and it was missing. How do I figure out what battery I need I know it’s 3 volt lithium but they have more than one size. They are both toshiba satellites one without a cmos battery is model c855d-s5196 they other is model e45w-c4200x and after the bios reset it still will not come on any other ideas?
Im facing the same issue mine does not have a cmos battery or a slot for it
SOS!!!!!!! Needed help please!!!!.. I have a Toshiba Satellite A205. The problem is I dont know its just when I charge it (New charger) when its open the laptop hangs and the worst case is it glitches.... When I charge it while its close and opens it it would never open.... Same issue with the old charger I thought the charger was the problem but it is not. I dont think that itis the battery either because when I removed the battery nd charges my laptop it doesnt open. But you can see on the indicator that the laptop is charging.. Please help me resolve this. This is my only laptop ang uses it for online studies.

After resetting bios on Toshiba 2450 laptop and keep it not working for couple of days, again it asks to enter bios or boot when powered on, what is the reason please?
It does this before you are able to see the startup toshiba logo screen?
Yes, I think it is because of CMOS battery needs a replacement
@@jimmyedward6130 Let me know if the battery replacement helps :)
Sure I will, thanks
I am facing the similar issue..I replaced the cmos battery..but even after replacing I have to remove cmos battery to just power on keyboard and the screen doesn’t on
QUESTION: How do you fix a CMOS Battery container if the screwdriver snaps it off of the motherboard?
You would have to solder a new one onto the motherboard. But with most printed boards these days, thats not a super quality repair. You may have to replace the board.
@@PC_Monkey Yeah, I had a feeling I was in big trouble when that happened. But, the dumb battery would not pop out no matter what I did. I think the laptop was broken anyways. It just wouldn't work. It would start up, but then after a few seconds of being on it would shut off. I did all the tricks for static. And I made sure the battery and a/c adaptor were okay. The part of the board where the a/c adaptor was plugged into was slightly bent, so that may have been the problem. It was a Toshiba laptop. I had several people tell me Toshiba is junk. It seems as though they are correct. The entire reason that bent was because the hinge on the laptop wouldn't work anymore and it bent, and the whole laptop was literally falling apart.
@@PC_Monkey QUESTION: I have a broken laptop that used 16GB of DDR3 12800 SODIMM RAM. My Desktop has only 4GB of RAM, but it apparently can go up to 16GB of RAM. I've seen there are slot modifiers that allow Laptop RAM to be used on a Desktop. My question is, "Will the performance of 16GB of Laptop RAM be the same when used in a Desktop as 16GB of traditional Desktop RAM? Or, will there be a difference in performance?" In other words, "Is Desktop RAM superior to Laptop RAM?"
@@michaelzoran Apparently it works on Intel but not AMD motherboards. See th-cam.com/video/PF8Dfgl3Wx4/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/qLKaoCyC8HQ/w-d-xo.html
Could it be my battery that i can't change the time and date on a separate keyboard in bios?
Like the channel, straightforward. Have a Toshiba L505 and was riunning Ferdora 35. Was going to run 2 operating sys but I dont wamf to push the system, 2009 is while back. Was going to load windows back with bootsble usb. Freeses uo at bios screen F2, F10 not respinding can't get in to adjuat boot options. . Took system apart removed cmos battery for 10+ minute and still frozen. Are there any inner circle words of advice to push pass this? Thanks sir
Eric -

Still frozen even after resetting BIOS? Very strange. Sorry but I have very little experience with trying to load to OS's on one computer. That may have something to do with it but I cant say. If its freezing on BIOS, I would try another HDD
@@PC_Monkey I thought bout a HDD but this thing is from 2009 and not putting $ into it. I got windows reloaded, originally I just stood the CMOS battery up away from the motherboard with the metal connector its attached too. Decided to detach it, set aside a few minutes and put battery back in place. System powered right up and WIndows was recognized and loaded. gracias- EM, texas
@@EM-ml8jq Nice work :) Seems like BIOS just needed to be reset !!
Hi. Thanks for the video and information. I’m not totally certain whether my issue is exactly the same so would like to check with you. I have a Toshiba Satellite L50-A laptop, and when I power up, it goes past the Toshiba screen to the “enter password” screen (which I now understand is the BIOS password), however when I type in the password and then try to enter it, the screen stays stuck at this screen. I cannot even hit F2 to enter the BIOS screen.
I keep finding various tutorials about Toshiba issues, but so far haven’t found any that I think specifically address this issue.
Would you have any advice on this problem for me? Also, if the BIOS battery (the CR2032j needs replacing, could this be the cause of my computer not letting me get past this screen?
Thank you for your time, it is much appreciated.
Unfortunately at this time, I dont assist with bypassing BIOS passwords on this channel :(
@@PC_Monkey Why not?
@@Vero2yu Mostly for security reasons. I dont feel right helping people bypass that type of password.
@@PC_Monkey Makes kinda sense, but I am thinking for the people with morals and all that, like in my case bought a used laptop and forgot to ask the previous owner for the password.
@@PC_Monkey Not sure if the previous owner even remembers it.
Also, lol, I am not sure if that laptop was the one I bought used or if that one was one of my older ones. Either way, I have bought all the laptops that I own used and some of them are the same model so that is why confusing, so yeah like I said I need to access it so I can give it away after that to charity.
I have some laptops that I have fixed, some I must try and fix, after that I was thinking of giving the laptops away to poor people who need laptops for their schooling, in Asia, someone I have been reading about collects them and then ship them (I suppose) or deliver them to those people, the students, I tried all the other Bios methods I found here on TH-cam and strangely none of them works.
Also I do not have the xxx thingy written anywhere where it was said to be or the other letters B8500 something something.
Great video! Where is the CMOS battery exactly located (under one of the 2 doors on the bottom, or under the keyboard) and how do I replace it on a Toshiba satellite m305-s4910? TY!
Not all motherboards use CMOS batteries. Yours may not. Why are you trying to reset BIOS this way?
I have a Toshiba L50d-c but I can't find the cmos battery someone said they don't have one and the bios uses the main battery to keep the time ect. Is this true?
Yes. Not all motherboards use a CMOS battery. Why are you wanting to reset BIOS this way?
Hi there. Followed your instructions. I still have the ***RTC battery is low*** Press F2 key to set Date/Time. Repeatedly Pressing F2 does not get me into Bios, this ***RTC battery is low*** Press F2 key to set Date/Time blue box will not move. Have checked battery & charger. Have checked seating of SSD and RAM. Any thoughts ideas would be appreciated? BTW great vids!
If you cant get the error to go away by simply reseating the CMOS battery, perhaps it needs to be replaced.
You literally opened the exact laptop I have. Then put it away and showed 2 different ones 😂
Tough luck lol

Not all motherboards use a CMOS battery. Yours may not have one. What problem are you trying to solve?
hello my laptop toshiba satelite c55d had no cmos batt on motherboard. every i use my laptop change date and time again and again pls help to fix ..
Its possible your main computer battery is going bad if its taking the place of the CMOS battery. Consider replacing it. Also, can you reset BIOS to factory settings from inside BIOS at startup?

There's no pins to short circuit after removing the cmos battery?
What are you trying to do? If your just trying to reset BIOS to factory settings then no, no need to short out points on the motherboard
Hi, Thank you for the video. I have done the bios reset but it did not reset BIOS passwords. Can you please provide info on how you can reset password as well. Thank you
Unfortunately, I don't give assistance on bypassing BIOS passwords on this channel.

You reset the bios, but put the battery back which must be dead, should replace the battery as well?
Why must the battery be dead? If your CMOS battery is dead then yes, it should be replaced. If its not dead, then it doesnt have to be replaced.
So i need to take the mother board out to get to the cmos battery? My screen is too dark. Im trying to fix it. I tried researing the RAM but that didnt work
Your screen is too dark? If you shine a flashlight on it, can you see it better? Is it fully booting up?

Not all computers have CMOS battery. Why are you trying to reset BIOS?
@@PC_Monkey the password needs to be reset. My daughter's she got hacked and can't get in or reset it.
@@babytickles100 Are you talking about the BIOS password, the hard drive password or the windows password? If your talking about the Windows password, that does not have anything to do with BIOS. You would simply reset the operating system. However, if you cant access the computer to reset it, you would have to reinstall Windows as seen here; th-cam.com/video/e7hzoRI-cSY/w-d-xo.html.

Hi, i have the same motherboard than you at 1:34 without cmos battery; how can i do a cmos reset then ? Thx
If you dont have a CMOS battery, then you cant reset BIOS this way. Why do you want to reset BIOS?
so the first laptop you showed us didnt have a Bios Battery?
Yes. Not all motherboards have one
What about toshiba satellite L50-C cmos battery? Where is the locatoin I can't find it.
Not all computers have a CMOS battery. Why are you wanting to reset BIOS this way?
PC Monkey help! Love your videos, have been a great help over the years. I've spent several hours trying your videos and I can't figure out my issue. I took my computer apart (Toshiba Satellite P775-S7320) and there is no CMOS battery. I'm running on adapter power with the battery not plugged in, I can power on and the normal screens show, but when Windows tries to load it stays on the black screen. When I run safe mode it loads commands until it gets to classpnp.sys and then to the black screen. I still have Windows 7 so not sure if that is an issue. I'm thinking of just buying a new computer at this point, it's an older cpu but always worked well and I took care of it. If you can comment I'd appreciate it, but nonetheless thank you for your videos!
Unfortunately I dont have any videos on Win7 computers. Sounds like your operating system could be messed up or perhaps the HDD. You can see the troubleshooting process here: th-cam.com/video/2Hh1wIS9NDo/w-d-xo.html. Are you able to access BIOS at all as seen there?
Disappointed. Came here to see where the battery might be on a satellite pro laptop but the first half didn't even get as far as pointing out where that CMOS battery was. Was it under the mainboard?
The CMOS battery will be in a different location for every motherboard. Its usually pretty visible on either side of the motherboard. Every model computer has a different motherboard. This video was a general video showing how to BIOS reset a Toshiba computer. It obviously wont apply to exact component locations for every Toshiba model computer.
What model Satellite Pro do you have?
How would you reset CMOS on the same computer you opened? I have what looks to be the exact same laptop (Toshiba Satellite c55D), and neither of those batteries is present on the board.
The CMOS battery on a c55D should resemble the left hand motherboard shown here at 1:50. Does it?
@@PC_Monkey I managed to fix my issue. I still couldn't find the battery, but I found a JPW little jumper by the ram.
@@maverickrisbeck939 where’s that jumper located? Can’t see where the ram is
Oddly enough, the first laptop is a T55 which does not have a CMOS battery. Neither of the two motherboards are the same, which is easily visible given that the first laptop has memory slots in line and the other two have them top and bottom. The guidance I've read to reset CMOS is to remove laptop battery (two screws) and leave it out for an hour or two and that should reset the CMOS. I'm not sure what jumpers Maverick Risbeck is referring to below. I see the JPW pins near the JCMOS pins near the memory, but there are no jumpers there as far as I can tell.
@@ScifiFri I apologize, I should have used more accurate language when I wrote my comment. Those pins you are referring to are what I was talking about, calling them jumpers was a little misleading. I held a paper clip flat against the pins while turning on the laptop to reset cmos.
I vant bypass mine, to even get access I have a C-55-C1M9 I literally used it to do tax returns etc, never found an answer I have even taken it to a pc repair shop they cant either?? Can you help
I dont understand your question. You want to bypass what?
Hello there and thank you for the tutorial, I happen to have a Satellite L50-B-160, I'm pretty sure the MB doesn't have a Cmos battery since I checked a gazillion times, my issue is my pc just doesn't boot no more, the screen stays dead and the fan is running (the leds are on and even the CD is blinking) I have tried every tutorial online and checked everything, (rams are fine, the screen is fine, HDD is as well) the twist is one day it turned on normally out of nowhere and been working perfectly for a while and I made sure it never turned off soI only put it on sleep mode, however one day there was a power outage in the city and it went back to the same dead state. I'm pulling my hair fr I have tried everything so far, everyone tells me it's the Cmos but the MB has none... I don't know what to do..would you happen to have any idea? i would very much appreciate any help I can get at this point
For a computer that turns on but the display does not work, try this video first; th-cam.com/video/e9iy30J00-k/w-d-xo.html. Let me know how that goes :)

@@luaitaha4759 nothing unfortunately, I tried everything so far (solutions from these videos and many others) I just gave up honestly...
i had similar L50D-B, yes you're right, no matter how many times your turn it upside down or rotate the board, you cannot find any cmos battery because it has none, the main laptop battery did all saving all the settings on the bios, and once it dies, the only solution is to buy a new laptop battery.. I was trying to make a modification so that I can install a cmos battery but may take time or just a waste of time... whichever..🤥
I cant change the date and time I'm the bios with a second keyboard. Power port and jack checked out.
What brand and model computer do you have and whats the issue with it?
Toshiba Satellite C50-B-14D HA LA BATTERIA TAMPONE O PRENDE LA CARICA DIRETTAMENTE DALLA BATTERIA?
Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/zIBnPkt-Gus/w-d-xo.html. At 2:22 in the video, you can see a spot for a CMOS battery on the right side of the motherboard, just above the fan. So my answer would be, it depends on your model. Some will have a CMOS battery and others, like the one seen in the video may not.

Hello. When RTC battery (integrated, like one on your left) is low, how can you "change" it?
Thank you for your information.
I guess this is the answer?
Sometimes depending on your skill level, you can de-solder it and then re-solder it. If thats not something you wish to do, you can simply replace the motherboard or take it to a computer shop and see if they can try. Why are you trying to reset BIOS? Can you just go into BIOS on startup and reset from inside the system?
Yes :) You would have to de-solder it and then solder it back when done.
@@PC_Monkey Thank you :) Since I don't have a slightest clue, what "de-solder it and then solder it back" means, is there any tutorial about that procedure?
@@flukturr I dont have any. Never thought to do that lol. Thats on my list now :) For now, I found this other guys video that I hope will help :) th-cam.com/video/Mws9nro0rAo/w-d-xo.html

2. Can you try the steps seen here? th-cam.com/video/2Hh1wIS9NDo/w-d-xo.html
@@PC_Monkey I do have some progress, i replaced the coin battery... and some how go into the set up utility.. i tried to reset the password but I have to have the current password,, I did notice at the bottom of the screen it now says...f2 for setup and f12 to boot menu.. But neither work. the date was way wrong.. 10/03/20111 was in there... can you tell me or show me where the tabs are to jump on the L755D, maybe that will work?
@@Lastdayofwork 1. Yes, those date settings would have to be fixed. That is common after replacing the CMOS battery.
2. If you cannot locate the UEFI vs Legacy options or if changing them does not help your issue, then try reinstalling Windows as seen here; th-cam.com/video/e7hzoRI-cSY/w-d-xo.html. You can see how to create your own install media for free here; th-cam.com/video/YbC4jZVwQm4/w-d-xo.html. If you cant create your own, you may have to purchase it. You can see an example of a good install media USB in the Repair Tools list here; www.amazon.com/shop/pcmonkey.
If that fails, it means your Hard Drive is bad and needs to be replaced as seen here; th-cam.com/video/tNp5Kbo9uHg/w-d-xo.html. Remember to install Windows onto the new drive after the install :)
hi there, all good suggestions but I'd like to know where the jumper tabs are for the L755D..that is the option that hasn't been tried,,,it looks so easy on video. the f2 or f12 gets me nowhere, it just shuts down, I don't think i can do an install of anything if it dosent boot up. real puzzler...ty
it is set for legacy right now. if i can just get into the setup utility again,,,Grrrr

Hello! Where is the CMOS battery located on a Toshiba Satellite C50D-B-15D ?
Some motherboards do not use a CMOS battery. Yours may not. Why are you wanting to reset BIOS this way?
@@PC_Monkey because my laptop has a black screen at startup. I tried everything. I reset the ram, I connected it to my TV through HDMI and nothing worked. So I wanted to try replacing the CMOS battery.
My only hope now is disconnecting the motherboard from my laptop screen and then trying to connect it to a monitor. Is that approach reasonable?

So one time I was searching through the web trying to update my drives on my computer. I was looking through my manufacturer’s website and I was on Toshiba.com and then I was looking up my computers model number and when I found my computer’s model number I was starting to get the updates for my computer then I stumbled upon an update for my computer’s BIOS and so I decided to download a random file to download but it only said that it was compatible with “Windows XP, so I installed it and when it was done downloading I clicked the file on my screen and it said that it was downloading so I waited until it said to “not turn off your computer” and I actually did. (My computer only turns on with an AC cable connected to it and that’s the only way I can turn on my computer but I think the battery I have inside of my computer that does not work no more and I think I should get a new one) But anyways as soon as it told me not to unplug my computer I did and now when I connect my AC cable to my Toshiba Satellite computer, it does not turn on more and I don’t know what happened. So now that I explained everything to you guys can somebody please explain to me what happened and how I can recover my computer easily. My computer runs Windows 10 Pro on it and I upgraded the parts inside of my computer like the hard drive and the ram to make my computer more faster enough to run Windows 10 OS because my computer ran Windows Vista Basic once but not anymore. My Computer is a Toshiba Satellite L305-S5919. Note that my computer can't be turned on anymore and this is kind of getting a lot confusing please help!

@@PC_Monkey it does not work. Well i was trying to revive a 12 year old computer so i think that is normal.
@@Suilapter If, after all these steps, you have not been able to find the issue, your most likely looking at a faulty component preventing the motherboard from working or a motherboard issue. I would start troubleshooting each component, starting with the charger and power jack. You can see those two videos here; th-cam.com/video/YBhsVHideGE/w-d-xo.html & th-cam.com/video/HpabvrNaodU/w-d-xo.html. You can also try replacing other components like your Power Button to see if that is the route cause. If none of those are the issue, you would then be left with a motherboard replacement.
