    Solved! I reset the laptop to factory, and all four USB ports still not working.

    Push Windows updates and go to the laptop manufacturer's website for drivers.

    Toshiba satellite l855 fan replacement

    It should, I would try the first one since it advertises to be for your model and has good reviews. The dimensions are listed in the description. Athough - I think the dimensions are including the package. It lists the height as .9 inches (I assume this includes the packaging)

    Should I get a new laptop, build a PC, or AlienWare Alpha i7?

    Forget about Alienware. Nothing against Alienware here but there is no reason to pay their prices when you are able and willing to build the same machine yourself. Between a desktop and laptop - how much horsepower do you want? You can obviously pack more into a tower. That's the way I would...

    What is the difference between SDram and SO-Dimm ram? I wanted to upgrade my laptop's ram

    The only laptops I've seen have more than 2 slots are high-powered i7 machines that support triple channel memory. I'm having a really hard time finding the exact specs of your machine online. One sure way to tell is to simply remove the panel on the bottom of the case and physically check...

    What is the difference between SDram and SO-Dimm ram? I wanted to upgrade my laptop's ram

    You MUST put SODIMM in your laptop. It stands for Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module. Small outline is a special form factor for laptops. You laptop has 2 slots. It's considered best practice and is highly recommended that you install memory as a matched set. They are guaranteed to...

    how to create a recovery disk for a toshiba from a different computer (hp preferred)?

    It's not seeing the drive. If it did, the message would be "no OS found." You may need a new hard drive. All a "recovery disc" is... is a Windows installation disc. You can use any installation disc of the same edition that is associated with your product key. Your product key is on the...

    Here's a nice little gaming machine. Not sure what using raptr has to do with using ATI/AMD graphics but I'll take a quality NVIDIA card any day - this one here has a GTX 950M and is right at your budget after tax/shipping. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152949 It...
