Equium A100-549 itself turns off

The laptop starts to turn itself turned off (mainly when playing games etc.) which seems to be due to overheating.

There is a lot of dust in the vents, etc., so it's probably what is wrong.

Can anyone provide guidance on how to disassemble the laptop so that the dust can be cleaned?

Or spray a can of compressed air into the vents would be enough?

Definitely Yes!

Compressed air jet is a professional tool to clean the laptop cooling modules.
You can buy these sprays of most computer resellers!

I would not recommend you to disassemble the laptop to clean the fans. First it is very complicated and risky.
During this disassembly procedure, some parts may be damaged.

The jet of compressed air is safer and you can clean a lot faster

    Yes. It is possible to upgrade your Equium up to 2 GB, but you must use compatible memory modules.
    Module 1 GB compatible for your old Equium has PA3411U-1M1G part number.

  • Equium A100-549: UK keyboard button game problem using OS language NL

    Hi all

    I have a bit of a problem, I can not solve my self.
    I have a toshiba Equium A100 549 and changed operating system from XP home to XP home NL UK.
    I did format all HARD disks because of Mayor virus problems.

    I reinstalled all the cd drivers Toshiba but stil some of the keys on the keyboard do not work good...
    I noticed that some of the keys are on different locations like on a Dutch keyboard.

    I woul want to set them like they belong on the way in which toshiba set them, with the same 3min.from on the keys...

    What do I do? Thanks in advance,

    Michel Hoff,
    Holland

    > I reinstalled all the cd drivers Toshiba but stil some of the keys on the keyboard do not work good...
    > I noticed that some of the keys are on different locations like on a Dutch keyboard.

    The point is that you have installed windows OS in the language of the Netherlands, but the laptop uses the UK keyboard layout.
    Therefore, change to a different language keyboard layout if the keyboard is set to the language of the Netherlands, then you should change this to English UK!

    Go to control panel-> regional and Language Options-> languages-> text services and input languages tab, click details

    There you can add or change the language

    My Satellite Pro M70 itself turns off in the middle of the secuence of startup

    After turning on if it passes the test post and enters the menu grub (Linux + Windows) or BIOS
    without problems, but most of the time after the start of the BONE found in the start - up, suddenly it powers off the power.

    The problem becomes bigger and bigger as punishment I can boot any operating system

    As seen on messages more soon as I cleaned the vents of CPU with a spray suddenly sure I wasn't a problem of overheatting.

    Someone has an idea of what can happen?

    Thank you

    Hmm, the laptop passes the MESSAGE correctly and it stops during the initialization of the operating system. Is this good?

    Well, in this case I would exclude the RAM to malfunction.

    I put t also think that it's an overheating problem because the laptop should work a little longer until it would be closed due to high temperature.

    What about the HARD drive malfunction? Are you sure that the HARD drive is ok?

    In my opinion, you should check the HDD and maybe try another.

  • Equium A100-549 - reading disc error occurred press ctrl + alt + delete to restart

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Equium a100-549, about 3 years, Windows XP Home Edition.
    Everything worked very well so far. When starting my computer, I received the message:

    A disk read error occurred press ctrl + alt + delete
    I don't want to lose my data

    Please please I need some advice what to do

    Kind regards

    > I don't want to lose my data

    Well. Everyone knows that a HARD disk problem can happen and all of a sudden you may lose all the data stored on the HARD drive.
    That is why it s always recommended to backup the data on additional HDD, DVD, etc.

    I'm not sure if this will help but try this:
    Try to boot from the disk Win XP (NOT the Toshiba Recovery disk) and press r. means repair and should start the repair console.
    The similar DOS window should open and there, you can use a command:
    CHKDSK drive/p/r

    The chkdsk command checks the specified drive and repairs or recovers the drive if the drive requires it.

    More details can be found here:

    If that does not help, then you need to reinstall new OS.

  • Equium A100-549 4 GB memory?

    Hello

    I have a Tosh Equium A100 - 549 (PSAA4E). It's getting a little old now, but still a good machine, I've read various reports on what is max memory to this laptop.

    I bought 2 x 2 GB 200 pin SODIMM PC2-5300 (667), but when I install the laptop does not start. I get the power and keyboard LED and the fan but not the screen output.

    If I mix a former modules with a new 2 GB 512 MB (in order any Bank) then the laptop works, even if I get only 1.87 GB display in XP Home Ed.

    Took me to update to the latest version of the BIOS but still the same thing.

    Is it more a case of 2 GB not supported or is it the speed? I need 2 x 2 GB PC2 - 4200?

    Thanx

    Hi mate,

    the machine does not support the def. more than 2 GB of RAM. You must use no to 667 and 533 Mhz modules.

    That's all ;)

  • Equium A100-549: DVD & CD playback is slow and jerky

    Hello!
    DVD and CD playback is jerky and slow (sound and image). This problem occurred out of the blue! One day was playing very well and the next, when we tried to play a DVD is a different problem. I put the other DVD that plays very well the night before, but without success - it wasn't the DVD in particular. I tried the audio CD I played before and to my disappointment the same problem. I ripped a CD on my laptop and it played very well - it is not the sound card. I used a lens cleaner, but it did not work.

    I run Toshiba Diagnostics, no problem. I even scanned the HD and defrag, nothing - so I doubt there is a problem with Windows. Problem with two media players, windows one and the Nero one - is not due to lack of players. I drop the phone or hit him or spilled something on it. And this problem really happened from one day to the other. I had all the windows and driver updates two weeks before the problem occurred, by paying in the meantime several DVDs and a few CDs with no problems. What should I do?

    Fortunately, the laptop is still under warranty, but I would prefer if there is a way to fix at home, because services of take time...

    Hello

    I hope that your device to factory settings and not your own installation of the OS. You didn't write what CDs and DVDs you use, but I hope that use you the original one.

    Before you play DVD movie try at first to end all unnecessary process and stop the antivirus application if you have one. RedHawk is just, but I'm sure that DMA setting is standard by factory settings.

    There have not been any addition of material to the machine because it is out of the box from Toshiba.

    Any suggestions to get around this problem?

    I put t know what you did with your Equium and I advise you to install the OS by using recovery media delivered. After having this device will be updated again plant and equipment will be configured correctly.

  • My HP Slate 7 itself turns off

    Hello world

    My HP Slate 7 itself turns off, even when it is plugged. It becomes a real problem because I use it as an alarm clock as well. This problem only starts in the last week or two, but has been making more and more frequent. Suggestions help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    James

    This behavior does not seem normal.  7 Slate do you have?

    If it were my camera, I erase it with a Factory Reset and start over.  If the behavior appears immediately, then I would call HP for warranty repair.

  • Equium A300D - 16 c - turns off after 5 minutes

    Turns off my laptop itself.

    I've noticed lately that overheats faster than usual. When I use it I have to pile on the pounds, but make sure that the left side of the laptop is pushed sideways so that the book is not located underneath.

    I tried the following:
    Taking the battery off and waited.
    Waited for the lap top cool.
    Use the power cord and remove the battery.

    For now, I changed the power settings and it has not extinguished yet, but is there something more I need to do?

    Also I was wondering how to remove dust that may be trapped inside, as well as to try to understand the problem of heating, I can never have the left side of the base covered even if its on a table such that it will turn off.

    Help is very appreciated.

    Hey,.

    > but y at - it something more I need to do?
    Yes, you should clean your laptop and remove the dust to avoid overheating and stabilize your laptop.
    Here's a good article how to proceed:

  • Satellite A210-17 itself turns off!

    At my little laptop less than a year and he turns off itself. I can work away at the office or on the net and suddenly the screen is blank and the computer turns off - all the power buttons are not lit and when I press the button to try to turn it back on it goes to the recovery page of the system where I start windows in normal mode... Its happened 3 times today and its so frustrating. The battery is fully charged so I know this isn't the issue. Do you think that there is a hardware failure?

    Maybe its overheating? Have you checked the inlet for dust? You can blow off the dust with compressed air in a CAN.

    Hi c.kelly,

    ·         Which antivirus program is installed on the computer?

    Method 1: Some antivirus programs have their own firewall and tend to turn off the Windows Firewall. Temporarily disable the antivirus program and check the issue.

    Note: Please make sure that you enable the antivirus software after the test to keep your computer protected.

    Method 2: You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to search for infection by the virus. Check out the following link to do the same thing.
