I already did tried that except there's no check mark next to touchpad. It just shows that both the mouse and touchpad are working.

So the touchpad on my laptop hasn't been working for a few months. I recently re-installed the drivers and all that basic fix but still nothing. I then decided to open it and found no visible or obvious damage to the circuit board that connects the touch pad to the motherboard. All the ribbon...

Yeah, they are very small but any of them useless enough to delete?

https://imgur.com/ODleFfx https://imgur.com/HuPm6oH As you can see i don't have much to begin with but would like see if these Toshiba programs can be uninstalled safely. I'm aware about MSI Afterburner and Acronis, well, Acronis suposedly makes the Crucial SSD i installed perform better...

really? guess I was just doing something wrong but anyway... I spoke two soon. The PC was working fine up until the third time I had to use it...then it didn't want to boot. I'll just attempt to clone the SSD again and if that doesn't work i'll just return it and stay with the HDD installed...

Everything is fine now. I just did what I should have done since the very beginning-I followed Crucial's intructions that came with the SSD. That Macrium Reflect program complicated everything so I think it is utter uselessness. Thanks for trying to help

https://imgur.com/4cbSazv Ok, thank you for letting me know about that. I hope this is the picture that you asked for. The shaded out area appeared after I shrunk the only partition that allows me to shrink it and then 5th and 6th were not clone due to insufficient space as the message states...

I tried to but I don't see how to post a screenshot. the options here in the site asks for a URL but I can't get one from a screenshot. I don't see a browse option anywhere.

I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-B5356 running Win 10 and the SSD is Crucial BX300. I just though that's what I had to do so that's why i'm using that guide unfotunately

So i'm guiding myself to do the whole upgrade to SSD process with this guide https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/ssd-upgrade-tutorial I'm on the step where I have to shrink my HDD, i'm not even sure if this is necessary because this guide is kind of obscured to me. But anyway every time I try...

So, what I figured is the same thing you guys told me. I, was simply wondering if there is a perfect way to shop for these parts without worry especially for an older laptop like mine where original parts are discontinued. Well, thank you very much all.

I have a four yr old Toshiba C55-B5356 that I want to get a couple of parts to replace. These parts are a battery and a fan. I've seen very cheap replacement batteries at amazon starting at $15 and other ones at laptopbatteryexpress.com for $65. Here's a link...

it's a very chemically smell.

Never mind about the fan, I guess I can research that myself. thx
