Equium A210 - 17I HDD is not too hot and mobile stops

I seem to have a hard drive because of overheating - the laptop turns off intermittently and actually feels very hot (especially at the top left of the keyboard)

I installed a HDD Temperature monitor and it tells me that the disc is currently at 54 degrees, but was up to 64 degrees. It is clearly way too hot and the cause most likely of Islanding. I have the laptop on a USB, fan support to keep it ventilated but this t/doesn't seem to have much effect.

Everyone knows similar? Can anyone suggest a cause and solution? For what it's worth the drive is a Toshiba MK1637GSX - 160 GB - and the firmware is DL030M.

Thank you!

Hello

A few days ago, I had a similar problem that the laptop was also very hot. So I cleaned up the laptop with a jet of compressed air, and I was very surprised how much dust came out.
I followed the instructions in this FAQ from Toshiba document:
http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm

I hope this can help you and if not, you should go to the authorized service provider nearest. They can check the laptop.

  • Equium A210-17I do not start - how to access password protected HDD?

    My Equium A210-17I (model: PSAFJE) died recently and I'm trying to recover the contents of the hard drive.

    I hope that I can just put the drive into another laptop and start (either by using the player itself or a Live CD). Unfortunately, when I put the drive in another machine, it prompts me for a password HDD/SSD but say that the password is incorrect.

    Anyone have any ideas? The Equium stores a version coded the password or something?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    What I've tried so far:

    1 put the drive in Toshiba Satellite C655. Request password and after 3 wrong attempts to stop.

    2. put the disc into the Compaq 610. Request of password and after 2 attempts to let me Live CD boot. However, once started, the drive is not visible at all (disabled by BIOS).

    3. with all the variations of portable password input - completed by zeros, dashes, spaces, etc.. Uppercase, backward, etc..

    In what concerns the attempts to revive the satellite (so I can remove the hard drive password):

    When it is plugged in, power and load front lights.
    When lit, the logo turns on, the fan turns and can also hear the hard drive.
    Then there's just in this State.
    No display, no beeps, no lights on the keyboard.

    Tried to start after removing the hard drive and CD-ROM drive. Also tried without the installed memory. All the same result.

    Thanks for your help.

    > Unfortunately, when I put the drive in another machine, it prompts me for a password HDD/SSD but say that the password is incorrect.

    It seems that the HARD drive has been guaranteed by a HARD drive password.
    Mate sorry but this password cannot be deleted if you n t know the password.

    Usually to remove the HARD drive password, you must put the HARD drive in the Toshiba laptop, have access the BIOS and there is an option called HARD drive password which allows you to remove the HARD drive KNOWN password.

  • Equium A210-17i does not supply power to the top only with the power adapter plugged

    Equium A210-17i turn on when the battery is missing, but the laptop is set to the power supply dc?

    I have a dead battery and the laptop does not light with or without the battery inserted.
    The food came out 19v as it is supposed to.

    Also no led lights on the laptop when the power is connected and there is no sign of life at all by pressing power buttun.

    Thanks for any response.

    Hello

    The laptop must also lights up if the battery is not inserted.
    If the adapter is ok and if it s connected to the laptop, then the power led should be lit and it should light up.
    This led indicates that AC adapter provides power to the laptop properly.

    But if the LED turns OFF then that would mean that there is no power, and in this case the laptop will not turn on.

  • Black screen suddenly on Equium A210-17i

    The screen on my Equium A210-17i will sometimes just completely black, although always backlit. This happens usually when the computer is left on during a fairly long period of time (tonight after 3 hours) when using it.

    When it happened tonight I just internet browsing. It's happened several times, and the only way to recover whatever it is is to turn off the computer with the power button. My friend who also has the same laptop also has the same problem, and although it occurs about once a week, it's always boring. All solutions?

    It s certainly nothing wrong with you material
    I read that this problem could be related to Windows Vista bugs too

    Then all first of all you need to update the Vista for the last State.
    Then check the driver for graphics card for updates and * then you must update the BIOS if a newer version * is available

  • Mac Book Pro is not too hot.  It is time to replace the battery?  Can I replace the battery?

    MacBookPro is not too hot.  It's time to change the battery?  Can I do it myself?

    The Mac runs his fans in a feedback loop, based of the internal temperature measured.

    If the temperature goes up and the fans are not speed up to compensate, you probably have a hardware problem.

    If the Mac becomes too hot, it will make an uncontrolled emergency power off.

    EDIT: Replacing the battery is a completely separable question not related to temperature. Is the Samsung phone batteries that catch fire, not Mac.

  • Equium A210 - error - operating system not found

    Hi guys

    I'm new on this Yes, you can be sweet. I have an Equium A210, 2 years old.
    Everything was fine until today when it goes off.

    I thought that it might overheat because he felt hot so cool.
    When I turned it back I get the error "Operating system"... not found This is accompanied by a constant clicking noise coming from under the laptop!

    Any ideas anyone?

    Thank you very much

    This error is known to me.
    I had too!

    It appeared after the death of my HARD drive.

    I think the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive and therefore the operating system is not found.

    To me, it seems that you need to replace the HARD drive and then you could install the OS on the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Good bye

  • Equium A210 - 17I PSAFJE - Lan and Wlan don't work running Windows XP

    Hello

    I recently received this A210-17I (PSAFJE) for Christmas, but to my dismay, it was not compatible with most of my computer games, I decided to downgrade to Windows XP, after reading about how I could do this, I decided to do it myself.

    So far everything works great, with the exception of 2 factors.
    The controller Ethernet and RTL8187B_WLAN_Adaptor, which appear as unknown devices in Device Manager.

    I installed ALL the drivers for download from Toshiba for this specific model page and I have operational including graphics and sound rest.

    The WLAN adapter is strange for me, I downloaded this driver: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6& Conn = 5 & DownTypeID = 3 & GetDown = false & downloads = true (the bottom one for Windows) and it seemed to install OK with the provided setup.exe. But the device is still unknown, and it will not install if the folder "Update Driver".

    I have no idea what to do about the Ethernet controller :(

    Thanks for reading.

    * EDIT: Fixed; D *.

    Looks like you have already decided to install a compatible driver of LAN and WLan.
    Am I wrong?

    It of good to know that the problem is solved

    ================================================================

    Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
    It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way? Keep in mind
    This associated heat does not always mean too much heat as it is often a part or a component
    who is too sensitive to normal levels even heat.

    Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
    in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
    air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
    You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
    test).

    This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need help

  • P series too hot and sound card problem

    Hello

    in recent weeks, I have a problem with the temperature. The P series of satellites is much too hot, even if only the essential progs are running, the processor runs with 100% very often. Without the Task Manager (to close the CPRS) of "windows" the machine crashes several times down!

    And since I've updated the driver sound in August this year, the sound may not be performed correctly. The sound card is not identified by diff. progs. MP3 direct cut and sound blaster, during the race.
    I can't save anything! So bad!

    Hello!

    Clean the laptop? You can use spry compressed air could blow the dust from the cooling fans. So do not disassemble anything.

    Which audio driver use? Toshiba or manufacturing as Realtek? Maybe there already is a new or try again with the old driver.

    Moreover, what Satellite phone do you have?

  • Wanted to use parallel to Vista on Equium A210-17I XP

    I have a satellite A210 - 17l with Vista preinstalled on a HDD ATA with AMD Turion. Never thought to install XP over Vista on a laptop would be a complicated task.

    I've considered to run MS XP pro on a virtual machine or the implementation of a multiboot system. I did the last of them once or twice on a computer desktop, but not with Vista. Now, the thing is that there seems to be no option of virtualization for my setup. Virtual PC does not work on Vista Home premium, isn't VMware on an ATA and Xen is still not compatible with Vista at all.

    The option to install XP on another main partition seems to be as difficult as well. Tried with a slim streamed SP2 and base pro and none were able to boot from the CD. System configured to boot from DVD, but after checking the drive, it launches Vista again. Strangely, I put an old Win 98SE in the CD rom and it booted up withh options to install.

    Well, I can't work on what is happening with this, but if someone with the same successful machine to install XP or use a virtual machine, please answer.

    Perhaps someone else knows how to work around this problem?

    I have installed two operating systems on several models of different laptops without any problem. You can install Windows XP Sp2 home edition on the second partition with no problems. Download all the utilities and tools of Windows XP Home edition drivers and configure preinstalled WXP.

  • Equium A210-17I - how to restore to factory settings?

    I want to restore my system to the factory systems but I don't have a disc. So how do we do it without having a?

    If you didn t get recovery disk your laptop probably shipped with HDD recovery option and all the info on this you will find in the document s user manuals. To be honest I m wondering you didn t pick up some info on cell phone you have.

    In any case, try to run the recovery procedure of HARD drive following the instructions in http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
