How do I lock my Toshiba Satellite L500 laptop
You can put a Power On Password of your Toshiba, this will prevent unauthorized access to youe laptop. If you forget this password then you will have problems unlocking your Toshiba.
The Power on Password is configured in the BIOS under sercuity settings.
You can also put a password on the hard drive and if your Toshiba is stolen and they remove the hard drive out of your Toshiba into another laptop they cannot get access to the data on your hard drive.
NOTE if you forget the hard disk password you will not be able to access your hard disk.

Toshiba L305-S5995 isn't compatible I saw with this so what program is ok to get
old PC 2007 ( 15 years old) rare too is screen not dead now.CCFLDOES NO RUN W10 on all S5nnn verionsnow dynabook.com , supportok nice full model told so answers will be accurate.s5995 is this out side USA I get no hit here? s5955??????PC's do vary by country some greatly.mem answer out of he specsConfigured with 2GB PC6400 DDR2 SDRAM (both memory slots maybe occupied). Maximum capacity 4GBGL40 chip set is series 4, and only series 5 up run w10mS and Intel do not support fully GL40 now. it ended.keep in mind there are 3 issues, installs okruns ok, and has future support (and there is none)Intel did not make w10 drivers for this PC and is huge limit that.for now and going forward.answer yes ram , no w10it might run 32bit a bit but many things will be dead.CeleronĀ® Processor 575 (2006 CPU) no harm trying to run w10-32 bit, but will be sad after RAM upgrade costs.last drivers was Windows 7 here and some of those can be force loaded to w10 ,using magic load in compatibility mode. askbut some do load w10 S5xxx, try to learn the S5 codes are not all the same, huge variances.!!!

I DONT HAVE SOUND ( AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICE IS NOT INSTALLED)
Check out either the audio drivers (start > settings > control panel > system > hardware > device manager >check for exclamation mark in front of the audio device) and update if nessersary,
Or the audio mixer levels from the audio related icon at the taskbar. In case it's missing go start > settings > control panel >sound devices > mark the checkbox "volume icon at the taskbar"
After the above you will be able to hear audio from your computer but in case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post.
Thanks and regards

Cannot record sound
Normally every Lap is coming wit internal mic; so
1- Simply check your mic is mute or not
2 - Check your mic volume
3 - Use sound recorder that comings with windows (just record & play)
4 - Use an external MIC (known as working) with sound recorder
5 - Check in control panel->sound and audio device --> default recording device and Voice recoding device as your system’s built-in audio device (some times it’s changing when we installing b-tooth deice)
6 - Check device manager --> under sound audio controller for any issues
7 – Uninstall & install completely your Audio Device driver with default settings.
** If you didn’t solve your prob; my advice is take your lap to a good technician with component level Repair skills.
Thank you & Best Regards

NO PICTURE ON MY TOSHIBA SATELLITE #L305-S5885 DVD PLAYER OR WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, CANNOT PLAY DVD'S!
try to update your media player.if possible windows media player 11. If still it doesnt work try to check your direct X installed components. Try to update it also. next try to check your display driver settings maybe your display driver isn't working. check it by running the run command and type dxdiag to check your computer system go to the display settings and check if there are any installed driver.
