My neighbor's Toshiba Satellite A105 laptop (Win XP Home) is having big
troubles. He called me on a pretext so I didn't have enough time to
troubleshoot, but I thought I would mention some of the problems and
maybe you could give me a heads up on what I might investigate.
1) He has a wireless mouse that works for several minutes and then goes
dead. Unplugging the receiver from the USB port and reinserting it
brings it back to life for a few minutes. Tried it on 2 USB ports --
same result. The touchpad continues to work.
2) Both USB printers will not print. They are connected and the power is on.
3) Wireless network will not connect to any of the networks it can see.
Reset the router and it worked for a few minutes. Hardwired network is
fine. I ran the speed test at speakeasy.com and got some very
interesting results for Comcast cable: 25000 kbps down and 360 kbps up!
When the wireless network worked it was very sluggish.
Thanks.
