Help?

The Satellite T-135 has been recalled. Link. The BIOS updates appear to be on the linked page as well. So it seems you arent the only one with this problem.

Well, I installed the BIOS and it's going to have to be sent off, I don't know what to do because I rely heavily on my computer for college .

Call Toshiba and explain your situation, maybe they will send you a new one? How long have you had it?

Well that sucks but it doesnt suprise me. Toshibas are really a pain in the arse to work on.

Copy as much as you can to a thumb drive and then use the pc's in the library for the week or so it takes...you will be okay just take a deep breath I know it sucks though.

I thought about doing a system restore and taking the bios off and using the computer on battery power 95% of the time and only charging when I had to, but I don't know how much of a risk that would pose to me or the computer.

It'll be Thanksgiving before I can even send the laptop off because I'd have to send the box to my house (which is 2 hours away) and I won't be at my house until Thanksgiving...

I'm planning on telling Toshiba that they need to fix this ASAP and that I NEED a computer and see what they say. They'll probably give me the "there's nothing we can do you'll just have to wait until we fix your laptop" speech and I have a feeling I'm not in the mood to deal with them being jerks. So, they'll probably end up getting a mouthful from me.

Oddly enough, the computer is charging right now... I kind of need it for my first class today but am slightly afraid to take it.

Bri, in the meantime just get a lap top desk that actually sits on your lap. It just a hard surface with a soft bottom so your laptop can breath. Sitting at a desk for hours doing homework takes a toll on your back, I feel ya!

They should compensate for you somehow. If not you may have to use the school computers until you get it fixed. Explain your situation and see what they say!

I LOVE my lap top. It's a Dell XPS 1330, it's actually a 1300 dollar laptop but I got it used in great shape for 800. My brother is a systems engineer and he rebuilt it for me so it's good as new. I had an XPS before this and will always stick with them. They are AWESOME laptops. This one is extremely quiet, sometimes I can't tell its on! It does get somewhat warm when it's been on my lap but if its on a table it doesn't. It doesn't have a huge memory... the reason for the price is because the screen is LED and it's got a bigger battery, so when it's new it is supposed to last up to 8 hours. Mine is almost 2 years old though so it lasts about 3.5 hours.
Anyways, a thought for you whenever you get a new one in the future.

I hope they work with you on this! Good luck! I know how important a laptop is in college. Most everything is online now!
