  Turn is very likely a hardware problem and in your case, most likely an overheatng issue. Repaired by the manufacturer or a local service company that specializes in laptop computers (avoid the Geek Squad and any other department store; they are all the terrible).

• Satellite A215-S4747 screen does turn off not moored with Dynadock.

  I am now running XP on my new laptop and I am VERY happy that I could find all the necessary drivers. A behavior while also happening is when Vista has been loaded, it is that I could not get the laptop screen turns off when it is docked. I have searched and read and followed the instructions to the letter. I'm not not a newbie lazy posting before search... it just doesn't happen as it should.

  If someone managed to solve this problem, please guide me to the promised land!

  The feature you are requesting cannot be provided by the Dynadock.
  It's a USB-dock worker with a generation of additional graphics card in and no docking solution.
  The only thing you can do is disable any action when you close the lid in power management, then close the laptop screen when it is docked with Dynadock.
  The display is off when you close the display cover.

• C50-A-1HF satellite will turn off by itself after 2 seconds

  Hello

  the laptop turns off by itself after 2 seconds when I turn it on. This happens if I shutted down or choosed hibernate before (Win8.1).

  This means hibernation is not at all useable.

  The next time I turn it on it works quite normal! Sleep mode works as well. Standby mode it is ready for use after open them both as a repetitive. Fascinating!

  I looked on all the settings of the BIOS, but I found nothing what could be the reason for this behavior.

  Perhaps there is a correlation with another strange behavior. The battery will not be charged over 80%. I do not use the green mode. I have to turn off the laptop and remove the battery completely for a minute. After inserting and booting Win8.1 what it charges again at 100%.

  The discharge time is approximately 3.5 hours. Otherwise, the battery is ok.

  But after the next discharge up to 10% charge that up to 80% more.

  These two effects are not normal. But I don't think (or better, I hope) that there is a material defect.

  Is there a chance does not post the laptop to a repair service?

  Best regards

  Onurbi

  Hey man it are so strange problems and it's not easy to say what to do. All you can do is to install the original recovery image and test with the settings once more, of course without changing anything or install updates or additional applications.

  If possible to do this and test it for a while.
  > Is there a chance does not post the laptop to a repair service?
  As you probably know your possibilities to do something about this are very limited and if there is permanent problem I think you should contact the closest service Toshiba and clarify all of this.
  You have the new laptop model and it should work properly. If you are not happy and there are service problems Toshiba should take are about it and help you.

• Computer Toshiba laptop turns off after 3 seconds

  I can't understand what is happening with my computer, but I hope that this information will help you. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  There are 3 computers involved. One is a Toshiba laptop Satellite L300D Vista I had in December 2008 and the other two are Toshiba Satellite M110 XP portable computers that we got in December 2006 I think.

  The problem started with the Vista. It stops just one day and when I tried to turn it back on, it would show the Toshiba screen for a few seconds and then die. He was the life of the battery. Tried everything, could not, so I have restored the default computer. After it's on, I loaded my music in my external hard drive and a few days later, he crashed again. I restored it again and load my music back in, and then a few days later, he crashed again. Now when I try to restore it, it does not accept the restore disc. The hard drive flashes orange several times and the disc not spin fast enough to start doing anything.

  I decided to forget the vista computer, I had a year and a half... And started using my xp computer is a few years old. I've ONLY used to browse Craigslist (after I started using it instead of my Vista computer for a few days, after that the Vista) and not load any music in there. This computer has worked since then, but about a week after the death of my vista, my xp now has the same problem. It turns on for a while and then turns off immediately. Since they are the two Toshibas, they can use the same chargers so I would use the charger that comes with the vista or another, that I got off eBay a few years ago. Been using two wires forever and then everything suddenly this question not sure that it of a problem with the power or not, but one thing I noticed was my vista computer would make a rattling noise from inside the computer only when has been plugged in the charger from eBay, and I noticed my xp making the same sound as that connected with the charger from eBay just before you die too.

  My brother also has a toshiba satellite m110 xp laptop, and we tried a few things with the vista computer to try to make it work. A site offered to take the RAM and try to turn it on. Nothing that's happened. We took the ram from my brothers computer which works very well and put it in the vista. Nothing happened. We took the hard drive from her computer and put it in the vista and the computer DID start up (which was great cause I've not seen on in about a month) but it started up to a blue screen. Put us the hard drive in my brothers xp and the computer was working fine... For a few hours. Now the computer will not start correctly and we are trying to restore his computer but couldn't find the restore disc. Her hard drive was in my computer literally 15 seconds and his computer is now toast.

  I don't care about my laptop toshiba satellite m110 xp, but I want a solution for my toshiba laptop satellite L300D vista, and I also want to get my brothers running again because I ruined. I don't know much about computers, but my guess is that there is nothing wrong with the ram or hard drives, but something else in my vista computer that is ruining the hard drives. That still doesn't explain why my XP computer is turn off after a few seconds suddenly well. The only thing that the Vista and my XP have in common, is that they used the same power cords (which always worked fine)

  If anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction, which
  would be AMAZING! Thank you very much for your time

  If you have problems with the Toshiba recovery media, you will need to contact Toshiba.

  It's the Toshiba recovery process.

  Each manufacturer has their own particular recovery process.

  And as it is now failing to do recovery required, they would be the best people to contact about this.

  I'm just why my laptop turn off itself, because today ' today I was connected to Skype, I was talking with my family, but all of a sudden it turned off I don't know what is happening... can you please tell me what's happening.. .thank you

  Another thing is this may be WHAT BIOS is configured to shut down the PC at the same time. Which battery is low or adapter will be disconnected, and then PC also turns off. Some malware can also turn off PC, in order to check this run full scan with your anti-virus and see if something might detect.

• Satellite A30 554 will turn off by itself.

  My Satellite A30 554 for a reason any began to turn off on its own after working for a while or even during startup. This happens both in Win XP and SUSE 10.0. I used the CD recovery to format the entire hard drive and reinstall the system and even during this computer just turned off, so it's sort of a problem material I think. Suddenly, this thing started to happen as early as last week. I have also had problems with before starting - just get a black screen instead of system startup, but usually remove the battery and put the rank or start once helped. Computer two years ago, and I think the warranty is over. What may be the cause of the problem and what can I do now to solve?

  Hello

  Sometimes the notebooks closed because of overheating problems. There are a few reasons why units overheat. One of the reasons is the Sales cooling fans. Fans don property t work because of dust inside the laptop. In this case, I recommend to check the ventilation openings and clean it. You can use the vacuum to suck up dust.

• Tecra A5 - charges the battery only when the computer is turned off

  Hello

  For a few days, my Tecra A5 has started to beep and stop it (like when the battery is low) then that it was connected to the power supply adapter.

  I finally realized that when the computer is plugged in, the battery discharge and does not use the power supply to recharge.

  On the other hand, if I turn off the computer, the battery starts to charge.
  I replaced the battery a few months ago, so I think it's still OK.

  The charger would be defective? Seems strange since it can always recharge the battery when the computer is turned off.

  Thanks in advance for your contributions.

  > The charger is defective?

  Theoretically; Yes, but could also be electronic supply on the motherboard is affected, but on the first stage of the AC adapter should be verified and laptop needs to be tested with AC adapter new, good work.

• Satellite Pro A300D heats and turns off

  Satellite Pro A300D gets very hot and sometimes it turns off by itself. He did this recently.

  What could be the problem?

  Hello

  Usually, the notebooks of cooling modules should be good enough to ensure that the laptop could be cooled properly.
  It s not necessary to use a cooling means.

  In most cases, these cooling States blow air.
  This can be problematic, because internal notebooks cooling fans blow hot air too.

  I think you need to make sure there is enough free space around the laptop and should not use the device in his bed, sofa or on the lap. Use the laptop on the table and I think that this should help to avoid overheating more far.

• Satellite P15-S470 it turns off by itself - overheating?

  Hello

  3-4 years old laptop Toshiba Satellite P15-S470 my father seems to be overheating because it turns off by itself. It can happen at any time: in Windows XP Media Center 2004 (SP2 and all updates), at the prompt of password of BIOS at idle, at Windows startup, etc.

  Also, I can feel the fan blowing hot air hard left, the area of the battery being hot and the CD/DVD ejected hot.
  Hot note does NOT mean too hot to touch with my hands/fingers.

  I used a flashlight to look through the dark wind, and he looked clean (not so dusty or obstructed upward). I removed a few small items to make more air space for the winds, and that seems to help after a few minutes.

  Is there a program/software for checking laptop temperature sensors? I checked the CMOS area, but you could not like office machines. Site Web de Toshiba does not have one either.

  Are there ways to remedy (out of warranty)? I guess that the fans are still working because I can hear it turn very hard (quieter, if it's cool). I'm afraid it will get worse when the weather warms (Los Angeles weather) in particular this weekend when temperatures reach near 100 degrees (F).

  It is only in low 70 in the kitchen downstair on a glass table. The laptop started doing this a few weeks ago, but it seems to get worse when the weather warms. In addition, the laptop is usually [powered on site thanks to its power adapter.

  Battery use is rare (will try to remove the battery, if the problem occurs again to see if it causes the problem).

  Thank you in advance. :)

  Hello

  You said that the laptop is about 3-4 years of age?
  Hey dude, it is a very long time and in my opinion, the laptop must be cleaned professionally.
  For me it s a clear case. the fans don't run with maximum efficiency and therefore may not cool properly the laptop parts.

  I recommend contacting specialist and portable and it assistance. He could clean the module cooling grids and the fan inside.

• Why do Satellite A100 screen flashes when turned off?

  Hello
  I have a toshiba A100, Go 7600 Gpu, just bought there is two weeks and im very pleased with the quality and performance far :), just noticed one thing today, the room was turned off and the laptop turns off with the screen in open position, I leave it open normally when at home, I noticed that the screen flashes as fixed every 1 min in what appears to be an interval of time with or without AC connected, not a flash very bright but not easy to notice, but I'm sure the flash, so my question is should I worry about this?

  Hello

• Pavilion dv7 - 4183cl laptop turns off its own

  My Pavillion dv7 - 4183cl laptop turns off its own without any warning or error messages and then restarts asking power on the passsord, etc. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. Occurrences are more frequent over time.

  The first thing I would check is your laptop fan. You hear it works while the laptop is on, or it is disabled? If the fan fails, the laptop overheats. To protect themselves, the laptop turns off. It could also be that you have little dust blocks the air fan. The best option is to have someone to disassemble the laptop and clean, but some people have managed with the help of compressed air. The problem with this is that it blows back into the laptop. Perhaps vacuum?

  A farily common problem with most laptops is the integrated graphics processors. Over time, the GPU becomes disattached from the motherboard. If this happens, the laptop will be closed or does not start at all. Generally however, there isn't a lot of attention if that is the case, the computer stops working one day.
