I have an old Toshiba laptop, model number A215-S7414 that runs Windows Vista. I wanted to reset it to Out of box status and could not because the recovery partition is corrupted. To make things worse, I am unable to locate the recovery CDs that came with it but I did find a set on **** that did not work because the product ID did not match mine and unfortunately, my sticker underneath my laptop fell off. As I understand it, a company called Dynabook has drivers for Toshiba laptops and I wanted to download the necessary drivers the unit needs to operate but when I click download, I get a URL error telling me the file cannot be found. What is the point of having all these drivers online and then insult your customers by denying them the downloads. I should report this to the *** or you can send me a CD that contains ALL the drivers I need for this laptop. Thank you.Business Response

I Purchased 2 Toshiba RS TX 20 ************* servers.Toshiba boasted that these units had lifetime TIVO service and would always be free of charge.These units work fine, until I needed to use a non-cable service due to my restricted finances.These units will not work for a regular high definition antenna, or an over the air antenna, like stated in the owners manual.I paid $1650 apiece for these units and they are now worthless.I would like to return these two units to Toshiba for a full refundBusiness Response

I purchased a Toshiba tv last year. I called into tech support last week and they told me to do troubleshooting. They then told me that they could a repair in the best buy store. they then put me on hold and told me in store was not an option. they told me only way to get repair would be in home repair. I told them I was not comfortable with in home repair, and I suggested an exchange. they said an exchange was not possible. they also created an account on bestbuy.com for me without my permission, and now I'm getting marketing emails from Best Buy that I don't want nor I ever requested.Business Response

I purchased my third Tv from Toshiba and had issues with the second one within a year and had to get another one. Now this recent one isnt playing in 4K quality. I have another Toshiba 4K that Ive had for years in my living room and it plays the same shows in 4K but the new one in my room doesnt play 4K at all. All trouble shooting steps done, tv software updated and all. They are giving my the run around telling me nothing is wrong when the tv would need a visual of someone coming out to view the issue and compare it to the Toshiba in the living room. Almost a 4 week run around and most recent the agents say a specialist will call but never does. Im only available to be in front of my Tv on weekends because they are closed when Im off work during the weekdays. They refuse to send their tech team out and refuse to let ******* handle it. I tried calling on the 23rd of April and both agent hung up and never called back. It was between 11:50 and 12:11 PM PST. Last time I replaced the other TV they gave me the run around as well. This is ridiculous. The Indians and tech team have no clue on how to do their job after I explain the trouble shooting steps done and theres clearly an issue. The tv was purchased last year which was replaced for the other Toshiba TV that was acting up.Business Response

On April 6,2023, my Toshiba 50" ** model 50L5200U, stopped functioning properly. I pushed my remote button the Toshiba sign displayed and the show started playing with great sound and no picture. I began to trouble shoot and research this matter. I soon learned several others had this same issue with this same model. So the ** is defective. I contacted Toshiba America on Friday, April 7,2023 at 7:42 pm and spoke with ***** who wanted to troubleshoot. In the end, I spoke with *****, the manager to advised there was nothing that could be done after over an hour on the call. I have been purchasing Toshiba products for over 25 years. My last ** was a Toshiba with the large back and it worked for years until I gave it away to purchase this model for the slimness and features. In other words, I purchased another Toshiba because they are a reputable brand who before now has always stood by their product and guarantee. I would like Toshiba to repair or replace my ** because I have not had it long and there is clearly an issue and this particular model should be recalled and fixed.Business Response

I purchased a TV from Best Buy for my daughter last year prior to Christmas. Ever since I had it put on the wall, it has given me problems. It takes about 10 minutes to warm up/turn on, it will randomly turn off and back on numerous times and sometimes just sits for minutes at a time with no action. I called Best Buy and they said I needed to reach out to Toshiba for the manufacture warranty, however, I have been given the run around and have yet to be able speak to anyone. I am concerned my warranty will expire. I called Toshiba, and they said they dont service the particular model, and for me to call a different number. The second number didnt have a person I could speak to and kept hanging up, the third number was for printers. I are at a loss and need help. I asked for a supervisor but they wouldnt allow me to.Business Response

Again, I am being reH333239333839373**533Hed to someone else. Toshiba America said they do not H313**337353**6313137H the particular TV (matter of fact, its a totally different company all together that only does certain models) . Not sure where the disconnect is, or when accountability will be taken, but I have already wasted an entire day REPEATING MYSELF.
