Toshiba Satellite M45-S165 Notebook Questions & Answers
My computer doesnt show the factory reset
The only factory reset on a computer is in the BIOS, which you select after it shows the manufacturers logo or name. It will usually display the key to press and say SETUP. On Dell is F2, some are the Delete key.Windows 8 will also do a factory reset which will pretty much do a clean install like when it was first installed.If you do a reset on the BIOS and your Windows does not come up and possible blue screens with a STOP error, go back into the BIOS and on the drive type, switch it from AHCI to ATA. It should then boot fine.

What liquid did you use to clean it? Only mild soapy water is suggested, other cleaners can damage screen. If you press to firmly on an LCD Screen, you can cause this also.

The power button on the
It really depends if it is integrated into the motherboard or if it is a separate board with the power/function buttons on it. If you've never replaced anything more than the RAM or a HDD then I would not recommend attempting it yourself.
How have you come to the conclusion the power button is the problem?
If it is not powering on this can be due to the battery, A/C adapter, a bad DC jack, bad motherboard, a computer lock up among other issues.
Comment back if you need more help.

Assuming Windows, go to Control Panel, then User Accounts. Create a new user with administrator privileges. When ready to install the new app, right click on the install and choose Run As, then chose the new admin enabled user.
That's the safest method.

Do not hold the power button down while pressing the "0" key - it'll shut the computer off again. You just need to push it once to turn the power on and then hold the "0" key immediately after you push the power button on - just like turning on the laptop, but this time you're holding the "0" key down.
