I bought a Toshiba laptop (model s5009b) at Fry’s Electronics back in 2010, well it’s been a year and the serial number wich is underneath the computer ofcourse wore off,
the computer broke down it doesn’t turn on,it doesn’t charge the battery no lights at all; well I have the 2 year warranty I had bought and took it down to FRY’S ELECTRONICS and now they’re saying they can not help me because there’s no serial number when I have all the paper work for the Item, this just p…z me off and the money I spent on the extended warranty just flew away out my pocket.

I have a Toshiba a665-s6098 Laptop , I bought this from ***’s advertised with back light Screen and keyboard , not so
I have found it impossible to stay online without being plugged in . I have looked all over for the PIN # with no luck , called support since it is under warranty and they tried to get me to pay close to $300 for more warranty.
I have tried so many ways to get WiFi to work , when I do get it to work it only last a few days before I have to plug in and go threw hours of Grief, eventualy I usually get the Grayed out WiFi to turn on. Why is this such a problem ? The Battery last almost a 1/2 Hour on eco before it’s dead, do I have a Lemon ?

I have a Toshiba T4400sx and it has a password that is in the BIOS as I remember I need access to it to change the password..I sort of remember an F2 or something that gains me access.

Clinton Harris,

I have a satellite p100 and the sticker on the bottom is fine. The problem is, all it says is p100 and I would like to download some drivers to run the touchpad and sd card reader.

I think you can download these drivers for any P100 laptop model and they will work.

What a waste of money for the warranty because it means nothing to them. Another reason for them to waste customers time with rebuttals why it is not covered. I am not even asking for repair or anything from them but they immediately started telling me why they could not talk to me.

Unless they charge me over the phone.

I am in warranty and I just called to get the exact model number, to a computer I bought from them, and which they didn’t think to label it fully. I mean what is going on with this company?

Well needless to say I will do my best to warn others against this untrustworthy company. If you are in the market for a laptop, do not even consider Toshiba. They will do nothing for you that they say they will. My Toshiba is a nice computer and I am happy with it, but the company has STOLEN my money that I paid for the warranty.

There are more complaints to read than useful information when you are searching for it, so don’t waste your time or money with this company that thinks so little of you after you have bought. Down with Toshiba, I hope the BBB shuts their manufacturing down and restricts them from ever selling another computer.

Toshiba just tried to pass off a refurbished laptop for my lost one they have had since November 2009. I have the Serviceguard and 2 yrs left on my warranty and am covered for everything and any cause but they lost it and when they first tried to replace with refurbished they said warranty and serviceguard wouldnt continue with replacement. What a crock! That isnt right so I refused it and then they tried to send me one and said, “oh by the way, the serial number sticker will come in mail later since yours isnt there anymore. I dont trust them anymore as this is obviously a scam by Toshiba.

Yes, can you believe it, they are trying to either screw me by doing this and if something happens to this refurbished one the serial # wont match something or they are trying to rip off their warranty company.

Yes, Toshiba is committing fraud but they are smart enough to not send this stuff to me by email. I am almosy 2 months and still have no laptop and am under warranty and paid extra for their Serviceguard. Be Warned they are a Crooks and absolutely horrible Cust Service as they stole my laptop and have no intention of solving this correctly.

Thanks Vish! That was exactly what I needed.

I can’t believe the lame customer service I am receiving at Toshiba. Their own registration department can’t even tell you how to find the serial number unless it is on the label (which is worn off because that is where you hold it to tranport it)!

Don’t even get me started on my 4 month ordeal in trying to order a restore disk for my 2 Satellite P105-S6024 laptops! I have YET to receive them…I digress.

Thanks for the helping me find the serial number to this laptop.
