What kind of foil is used for this (other than your kitchen tin foil)? Can you buy foil tape at the hardware store?

Lavonne Codburn,

I have a toshiba satellite L645D It has started freezing up on the internet. It reboots frequently I never put my hands near the speakers. This tutorial is awesome, and I wish it would work for me.

Possible memory failure.
Most likely you have two memory modules installed so you can try the following troubleshooting:
- Remove memory modules one by one and test the laptop with only one module installed
- Try installing each memory module into different slots

If one of the modules is bad, the laptop should start working properly when the bad module removed.

Hello, I have a satellite A205 that just stopped working yesterday. Worked fine the night before, closed the cover and the next day nothing happens when trying to boot up. A couple of times the boot screen comes up stating that Windows did not shut down properly and if I wanted to boot up normally or safe mode. It said this may have been caused by a recent update. There have been no signs of any issues, power or otherwise. Power cord light is on, battery light is on and power light comes on. Any ideas?

Hi I have a Satellite R15-S822 tablet (just to let you know I’m 15, so I’m NOT taking my computer apart) and a few days ago I was online and a scratching spinning noise sounded coming from the hard drive/fan area it sounded like a disc was loose in the disc drover but it wasn’t coming from the disc driver area plus i checked thd disc and it wasn’t loose I immeditly shut the computer off thinking it was the hard drive disc or something and since then it’s made the noise 1other time and just now it made a clicking noise and an error message popped up saying “Windows has dectected a problem with the cooling system. Immedity shut the computer off and get it serviced” I’m worried the hard drive will over heat so I’m not using the computer!
I don’t hear a the running so is there anything I can do before I take it to get it fixed??
Email me your responce please!
