  Hello Hakan

  Please check that the machine not too much heat! The symptom you describe is exactly that of a machine overheating. Check if the fan is running continuously before stopping. Also check that there is no dust in the cooling of the machine module.

• Satellite A30-414 turn off randomly

  Hi, I'm new here. I own this Satellite A30-414. It works well, but it turns off randomly. I explain.

  I might use it for non-stop days, it works well, but sometimes it empties and turns off. Then it always turns on the second attempt. I mean, after the stop, I turn it on, I see the MESSAGE, then it turns off again. The second time I turn it on it goes OK and starts Windows XP Pro SP3. There is no particular action, I do it turns off, it can happen any application at any time. As I said, it can stay for days, connected to the internet via wifi or lan, download P2P stuff, no problem not turn off.

  I thought it was the temperature because it's warm enough, so I run it on a laptop computer have lower airflow, not at all, it turns off randomly anyway. Maybe I'm thniking more heating unsoldered some brazing under BGA chips, so it might need a redistribution of some chips, maybe the graphics chip

  Can you help me please?

  Thanx

  Hi satiropan,

  > I thought it was the temperature because it's warm enough, so I run it on a laptop computer have lower airflow, not at all, it turns off randomly anyway.
  Such an external Notebook Cooler will not help you solve this problem. The internal cooling fan is designed and tested for this laptop and everything will work perfectly even on high usage. External cooling is not necessary.

  It's old enough laptop model, so I imagine that a lot of dust blocking the cooling fan. Therefore, clean it with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. The exact procedure is described here:

• Satellite A30 off completely

  I've had my Toshiba Satellite A30 about 18 months - it has recently started to 'crash' (off completely) when I run a web - cam, or a HP Deskjet 600 to a parallel port - it has the same effect when I run Macafee VirusScan and BTYahoo Spy watch software - does anyone know what my problem is?

  Hello

  I used to have a similar problem - my A30-161 would be very hot and then all of a sudden turned off. I had him for 15 months. I guess, because the antivirus scan requires more processor power that requires more power, and USB devices use the device (in most cases), it is possible that your channel of cooling near the radiator and power supply is blocked by dust. Mine was full of dust impact.

  It is under the Panel with two screws T10 (the 6 pointed star) near fans and cooling grids - be careful, however, because the CPU is under him as well.

  You can find a guide step by step with images (which are the A30) to:

  I hope this helps.

• Satellite A30 always stop without notice

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem with my laptop Satellite A30. It will always stop without notice. But the thing is that I n it's a problem of heating with the fans. The laptop turns off only to if im under the laptop to maximum power or full power from the AC adapter. Tasks that can be taxed as a full system virus scan or play games will be stopped after about 20 minutes more than the setting of high battery power or if its connection to the network and is set to full power. Using word or simple tasks are not.

  Now im thinking there may be a problem with my cpu it can not handle when it needs to perform tasks advanced on my laptop. What could be the problem? Low power my laptop works very well even when executing these advances of the tasks it is only a problem when its power on full or high.

  Any help or advice?

  Hello

  Thanks for the description I always think of it s an overheating problem.
  Current laptop saver control different modes of consumption if the laptop works with the AC adapter or with full power, the energy saver uses different power mode when the laptop will run only to batteries.

  Different consumption patterns are supported various parameters of the processor and the different method of cooling.
  Probably the CPU works with a hot and maximum performance when the power adapter is connected.

  I think you should check the cooling modules and fans. Try cleaning carefully with the vacuum cleaner. But if you have no experience with these procedures, then request a technician or a person with more experience

• Re: Fan is constantly running on Satellite A30

  Whenever I start my Satellite A30 the fan starts to operate in an audible manner. However, HD is about 32 to 35 ° C, according to speedfan. In addition, from time to time, the fan speeds up and gets really loud.

  In addition, sometimes the laptop just closed without any warning. I shall now put the end of the book a one bar so that air can still pass by the pc, and I feel it helps.

  I would like to stop the fan always running and to reduce its noise.

  My RAM expansion may be the reason?

  To make the A30 run better and be able to install WinXP SP3 I upgraded from 256 MB to 2.0 GB of RAM which is the maximum size of RAM according to the manual. I used the site Web of Kingston to select and buy the CPU, so I guess I bought good extensions.

  If the extension of RAM were the reason for the fan always market that would mean that if the A30 Gets the full load of RAM it's overheating. Right?

  Are there people here on the forum who had the same problem with a noisy laptop after upgrading the RAM?

  TIA

  Satellite A30 is old enough for laptop and, in my view, there may be a big problem cold air and cooling rack is full of dust. Laptop cannot be properly cooled. I opened several old notebooks and it was amazing to see how the dust was inside. I really wonder how the laptop worked

  Laptop last I opened was friends Satellite A100 (not so old as yours) and I've been irritated how fan worked on this laptop. He was so strong and ON / OFF sporadically. After cleaning it computer laptop was extremely calm and fan has worked almost constantly, but at the low level silent.

  The same was on my old satellite 1900. It was full of dust.

  Upgrade RAM or any other reason can be the reason for more power and performance. Performance notebook more runs faster and produce more heat. The critical threshold is reached laptop after suddenly OFF.

  Hello

  Update CPU's official unsupported. This means that no one can say what will run the latest processors or not. Maybe you need also a new cooling fan, who knows?

• Satellite A30 is automatically disabled

  My laptop is automatically disabled if I work permanently nearly an hour and also heat up the top (left) cooling fan.

  First, I thought it was the problem of the home edition of windows XP. Then I restored the windows XP. But the result is the same.

  How can I solve this problem.

  Thank you
  Thomas

  Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model and I can't imagine there is a lot of dust inside and cooling grill is blocked with cable protection. The laptop can not be properly cooled. Because of this material can reach the maximum temperature and turns off suddenly.

  The solution is the disassembly and cleaning. It can be done by the authorized service provider.

• Satellite A30 921 stops after 10 minutes

  I am the owner of a Satellite A30 921, but it stops after 10 minutes.
  I tried to change the settings for toshiba power management, but they will not work any ideas?

  The laptop turns off automatically without display of error messages?
  This can be caused by an overheating problem!

  How old is your laptop and you clean the cooling fans in the past?
  If this isn't the case, I recommend you this doing.

  To clean the fans, you can use the jet of compressed air that can be bought in most computer stores.
  The problem is that dust and debris inside of the laptop prevents cooling modules works properly, and so the temperature increases to a higher level. This leads to the farm automatically from the bottom.

  In my opinion, fans of cleaning might help with this problem.
  Good bye

• Satellite A30 - 404 - the fan does not work

  I have a Satellite A30-404 for a couple of years now, and recently I saw serious problems with my laptop.

  Let me start from the beginning:

  My laptop has been a few months, when he suddenly stopped, I contacted the helpline and they picked up the phone and fixed.
  Again, a few months later, it happens again and I call them, they tell me that the problem is caused by the dust accumulating on the radiator of the laptop.
  I used a vacuum among fans to clean dust.

  When I do that, indeed, there was a lot of dust coming out, so I made this process, I realized a few months and the laptop remained very well.

  A few months ago, when vacunuming the pc again once I heard something breaking and I soon realized that all the components of one of the fan where gone.

  Probably one of them broke and since it had to be rotated at high speed he stopped and beat all the others. So I had 2 broken fans 1. I realized that in the long term that my processer could be destroyed because it did not good cooling. Since then the processer would become very hot and consumes much more energy than normal.

  Now, I also have the problem that whenever I turn on the pc it starts slowly draining battery (its plugged into the power supply). It's like I have a giant battery, the laptop power and eventually it will turn off. I also tried to boot the pc with no battery at all and it works very well for a while, but then it turned off suddenly. I try to turn on the pc and after 1 or 2 seconds it stops again. I don't know if its related to the fact that the processor is damaged boats.

  I talked to a lot of people in order to get the fixed fan but they say it can become very expensive since its hard getting the same fan. And by the way, when I work on the computer with only the battery that it depends on almost an hour

  Any suggestions? Help, please

  EDIT: I turned of the auto in hibernation when the battery is low to see what is happening, the energy of the battery indicates 0%, but the laptop stays on.

  Hello

  Well, you should be cautious if you use the vacuum cleaner to clean the fans. It is risky!
  Extra ball bearings might damage if the fans turn too fast.

  So if you have no experience with these procedures you should t do.
  The person with the experience as a technician workbook must clean the fans and cooling modules.

  I agree with Doomlord, and it seems that you need a new cooling module.

• Unexpected shutdown - Satellite A30

  Hello...

  My laptop is Satellite A 30 series.
  Now a days when I play video... After awhile it was too hot and descended the unscheduled closure. Could you please tell me, what is a major problem and how can I solve this problem?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I agree with chain. It's really typical reaction when the laptop is going to be too hot and the hardware may be damaged.

  With just words, I would say: it is time for cleaning. When you remove all the dust inside your device will be able to take a breath and works correctly.

  Check it please this page http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA35/Satellite-A35-fixing-overheating.htm

  You'll see how it looks like when the cooling module is full of dust on Satellite A30.

  Bye and good luck!

• Can someone tell me what is happening with my Satellite A30?

  Can someone tell me what is the problem with my computer laptop satellite A30 514 is? The problem is that my laptop is very easy get hot and the fan never stop turning after 15 minutes and I continue to use the laptop about 1 hour, I guess that the laptop GET overheat auto power off.
  Help me to know what is the problem.
  Thank you.

  HI Yves,

  It sounds like overheating to me. This is usually caused by a build-up of dust in the cPU-heatsink which keeps air from cooling fans to pass through. You can try to use a hose of vacuum cleaner against the bars of suction air suction debris.

  Hello

  Well, of course, it could be an overheating problem. If the temperature drops to the critical limit for the operating system stops the unit. It is a thermal protection of the portable Toshiba.
  Well, the overheating problem is a very serious problem. I recommend to check for dust cooling fans. Try to clean it with the vacuum cleaner.

  Hello

  As far as I know you must remove the battery, HARD drive, optical drive, keyboard and displays first Assembly. After that, you must remove 20 screw on the underside (about 15 black screws, two black screws in the mea optics and bays of battery and four silver screws for the video monitor port and the parallel port).

  After this, return the unit and remove the five screws black. Before you lift the top cover of the computer s chassis, remove the following cables:
  -FPC TouchPad cable
  LED/button cable FFC
  -Speaker cable

  Sorry but I can't give you more information. This time, I did it for a long time.

  Good luck and be careful
