1900-303: stop suddenly

When I turned on my laptop a few days previously, it gave 2 short beeps and stops suddenly. Since then, it turns on for like a minute then stops. There is this noise whirring near the cooling fan, I don't know if that's the problem. anyboby can help urgently?

Hello

Looks like your laptop is overheating. Take a look on the cooling rack, maybe there is little dust that prevents the fan to have enough air. Try to clean it. If this does not help, I think it is best to leave the laptop to be checked by a technician.

I hope this helps.
Good bye

  • Satellite A30 303 stops suddenly

    Very recently (strangely, just like the year warranty missed!) my laptop has been close so any intensive (I guess) the program is running (games, Norton Antivirus full analysis, in particular). Deleting the temporary files is a suggested by Symantec for help, but only on one occasion. It is not closed for any other use; There is no error message or accident, stopping just sudden and decommissioned. When he took over, there is no error message.

    Help please?

    Hi Roger,

    I suspect that your A30 could be overheating. There is a thermal trigger designed to cut power to the laptop if the CPU overheats. Normally this will be accompanied by an increase in the activity of fan cooling.

    You will find a lot of posts in this forum about exactly this situation, but in short, I recommend to use a hose of vacuum cleaner against the grids of aspiration of air on the bottom of the A30 fan to remove all dust and debris from the heatsink to the CPU.

    If the problem persists, it may be necessary to remove the heatsink for cleaning but this can invalidate your warranty if it is still in force.

  • Satellite 1900-303 Touchpad: has stopped working

    The touchpad on my Satellite 1900-303 has suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason. The touchpad icon has disappeared from the office toolbar & I do not see the touchpad listed in Device Manager. However, the ALPS touchpad driver is listed in the installed programs.

    The laptop runs on XP Pro SP2. Can anyone help with this please?

    Can you imagine that the TouchPad is defective and this may be the reason why it doesn't work?

  • Suddenly turn off Satellite 1900-303

    Satellite 1900-303, but always working for surfing, the fan never stops and made so much noise, not nice! Problem is even worse that the power will be off suddenly without notice. This can be caused by overheating power system and this is the kind of self-protection, could someone tell me how to solve this problem and if it is interesting to do?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I agree with MrPacman.

    I don t think that the laptop loses power.
    There is another reason why the laptop stops automatically.

    The blocked vents could lead to a higher temperature inside the laptop and an overheating problem.
    This is also why the fans run all the time.

    What you could do is to clean the fans with a professional pneumatic sprayer.
    These sprays are designed to perform this cleanup and get rid of the dust and debris of laptop inside

  • Satellite 1900-303 turns off for no apparent reason

    I got my Satellite 1900 303 for about 2 years and no problem. In the last month, I had a problem with him turn off his car suddenly and for no apparent reason. I checked virus and have found no virus. Can anyone suggest why I did this. I was wondering is that he has been making overheated?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Believe me, there is always a reason why this happens. From your description, I assume that your unit is overheating. If the temperature is too high the unit simply stops.

    You need to clean the device. After that cleaning the unit should work properly again.

  • Re: Satellite 1900-303 won't play DVD

    * Hi all, *.

    I have a Satellite S1900-303 which suddenly stopped playing DVDs.

    * Operating system *: XP Pro SP3
    * RAM: * 1 GB
    * HARD DRIVE: * 320 GB
    * DVD Rom: * Standard Toshiba SD-R2212
    * Chart: * Standard ATI Mobility Radeon
    * Software *: WinDVD 8 Platinum

    The DVD - ROM drive will recognize and play / install from a CD but not a DVD.

    I did all the usual checks:

    The device driver is up to date,
    Device Manager"indicates that the DVD - ROM drive works correctly.
    Tried to play a DVD through Windows Media Player, but the CD & DVD options are 'greyed out '.

    Everyone has a similar problem, and if so, is there a solution to this problem?

    Hey mate,

    How did you check if the device driver is up to date? There is no update driver for all CD/DVD players

    Normally, if CD works fine but no DVD, it appears to be a malfunction of the equipment. Before Exchange you it, try to clean the lens using a microfibre cloth.
    In addition, you need to test if you can boot from a bootable DVD to check if it s a software issue or not.

    As I wrote already in the worst case you need a new drive :(

  • problem with cd/dvd on my Satellite 1900 303 drive

    Hello world
    In 2003, I bought a Satellite 1900-303. Recently, it's the cd/Dvd drive has stopped working properly. whenever I put a Cd in the driver, it assumes that the CD is an audio cd. If the CD is completely cd Audio or partially contained audio files that it opens the cd with no problems. But if the cd is a CD or software for data CD after having tried long time my system hangs. I change the properties of the Cd drive settings in the section of AutoPlay of music file to other options such as "mixed content". but after inserting the CD in the drivers it agains automatically replaces the file 'music '. I showed my book expert in computer system and ease, he tried to reinstall windows XP to fix the problem but it did not work. Since the driver did not work he used the external driver to install windows XP. but the problem has not been resolved.
    Is there someone who knows by chance that I have to do to get it back?
    Waiting for useful tips.
    Vahed

    Hello

    your friend installed the XP from a Cd MS or on the Toshiba Recovery CD?

    To my Toshiba laptop computer, AutoPlay section is also set music file and working properly!

    When this failure occurred for the first time? Did you use the recovery option of system SM at the beginning - accessories - prog. -Recovery system
    Perhaps the backsetting of your system to solve the problem!

    You can also check if a firmware update is available for your car! (If it's a Toshiba drive go to http://www.toshiba-europe.com/storage/index.asp?nav=HOM&page=HOM&frame=home

  • Satellite 1900-303 USB port not working - USB hub?

    Hello. Deploy a Satellite 1900-303 with two USB ports. One of the ports stopped working. I guess it's permanently broken. Just browse the site, it seems that the easient of thing to do would be to get a Port Replicator - one of them:

    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/individualOptions.do?service=UK&selCategory=4697&o ldCategory = 4697 & OPTION_ID = 95631 & toshibaShop = true & t ab = 1 #1

    I wanted to know is it just to sink my remaining a USB port, so that I get 4 USB ports (and all others)? What USB speed I would get?

    Thank you!

    Rich

    Hello

    As far as I know the unit supports USB 1.1
    So I guess if you are using a USB hub external, USB ports work with USB 1.1 properties.
    Maximum data transfer should be 12 Mbps

    My 1900-303 doesn't let me save to CD. It seems to work then comes up with an error message asking me to '...

  • Upgrade memory satellite 1900-303.

    Hi, I just bought 1 GB of memory (2 modules of 512 MB) to upgrade my 1900-303. However, when I opened upward, first of all I don't see the memory modules and second memory does not. According to the manual, it will take 144 pin sodimm pc133 modules. That's what I bought.

    Anyone upgraded the memory on their 1900-303 and if yes what memory did you use?

    Thank you.

    Hello
    I m a bit confused about your manual!

    I ve contributed to my colleague that the upgrade of its Satellite 1900 305.

    This machine has PC2100 DDR - RAM and the laptop can handle the maximum of 768 MB memory!
    And there is only one expandable slot at the bottom of the machine.

    I Don t think the Satellite-303 and -305 are different in the memory usage. So you'd better try exchanging your memory modules first.

  • Guard Satellite Pro stopping suddenly.

    My laptop is suddenly stop - and do not restart.
    "It happens esp if I try to do a scan Mcafee - when it comes down to a ' 1386 file" on the C: drive it stops! (but it also stopped at another time).
    I've defragmented it and cleaned up the cookies etc. It is about 50% left on hard drive and even if 4 years old and a little slow sound otherwise was a good laptop Satellite Pro.

    Any ideas? Ah its driving me crazy!

    Stopping suddenly may also be due to overheating. Usually when he runs some CPU or graphics intensive application, the material can get the critical temperature level and simply turns off.

    I'm sure that after some time you can start your laptop. He is old enough laptop model and it's time for cleaning. I really can't say if this has something to do with the preinstalled stuff.

  • WiFi Module on my 1900-303

    The manual for my 303 1900 has an amending added which provides that there is an I.Link port on the right side instead of a USB key, and beside that a switch to turn on the wireless Transceiver works (802. 11 (b) on the front panel the very right of the screen is an image of a localizer.

    I had the PC again about 2.5 years and use a Belkin Wireless card but wonder what difference the card Toshiba done and why the light and the switch does not work with the Belkin. Can I still get the Toshiba module and stick it on the side, similar to the Belkin (which works fine)?
    If the module is always available what is the part number and how the module is mounted.

    Russell.

    Hi Russel

    Each series of products for laptop (Satellite 1900) contains some different models (Satellite 1900 - XXX) and they have different hardware components. As much as I know Satellite 1900-303 has no wireless antenna, and is not ready portable wireless model. This means that there is no wireless antenna and you can not use any Wireless LAN Mini PCI card.

    Sorry
