When you have a Toshiba laptop that is no longer working properly, you have the option to restore the laptop back to its original factory settings. Normally you can use system restore disks to restore your Toshiba. However, if you don't have access to system restore disks, you can use the Toshiba laptop restore key. When using this restore key your computer hard drive will be wiped clean. Therefore, if you have access to any files you want to keep, you should back them up to an external source before performing the system restore.
Step 1
Power off your Toshiba laptop. Wait until the laptop is completely shut down before moving to the next step.
