How can I determine my laptop model?

My laptop is so old that the original solar sticker with model info has become illegible. I managed to determine that I have Toshiba A105 but when my colleague searched for hardware drivers for it, it turned out that there are 3 variations of this model!

Because I have lost Ethernet, video (including VGA compatible one) and network controllers as well as Modem device on high Definition Audio bus, I cannot surf or download anything myself... I wonder, in case of failing to determine the correct variation, could the any of the A105 variations work with my model?

My machine had been getting clunkier very day but I had put it down to a other full hard drive. The only recent activity outside normal has to plug my machine to a projector and installing printer drivers at work. And that's the main point for my panic: I'm so dependent on my laptop, I work Mon - Sun,, the I haven't got time to take to a repair shop! Not only I use the laptop for work but it is the only entrainment machine I have: I don't even have a radio or TV. :cry

If I can get my laptop working, could you kindly fell me how to back up drivers in case something like tis hope in the future (it's second hand machine), because I'm so ignorant.

 

Hi my friend , do you have any yellow mark in Device Manager ? You have to navigate through Start - Run devmgmt.msc - Ok :wave

 

Good luck!
I went to the Toshiba site http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/repairStatusLogin.jsp
and there are 90 models that start with A105!
I was hoping they would have a way to scan a computer and tell you what you had but I couldn't find anything like that.

Here's a download for the A105s manual

Try Crucial.com and their Advisor tool, once run it might give you clearer details of what you actually have in the way of hardware.

Otherwise, try carefully reading and running the App. in the Sticky here, the details gleaned should be enough to pinpoint your hardware: http://sysnative.com/forums/showthr...SOD)-Posting-Instructions-Windows-7-amp-Vista attach the data back here so we can check it over.

If you have XP, running MSInfo32 (it takes several minutes to collect the needed data) then saving as msinfo32.nfo, zipping and attaching it back here may be enough to track it down.
