• Satellite P755 random stop problems

  Hello

  I just bought my laptop a few months ago and were not really use it much since.
  So there no more than 100 hours of work.
  A few weeks I started which meet this strange problem with random closure.

  There are no rules when it happens, sometimes, it stops after a minute of work and sometimes it stops only after a few hours. He goes to a complete close, but sometimes he goes to hibernation.

  This happens as well when the charger is connected and when it is not connected.
  So, using my laptop is currently quite impossible. Also guaranteed is not an option for me as I have bought abroad.

  I read somewhere that someone had a problem with the power button and that he "pressed" it self automatically, and yet one thing that happens to me is that sometimes computer laptop itself only implements opening lid don't not by pressing Start button / stop at all.

  So, can it be this issue, and if it is what is the best way to fix it?

  So, please help with ideas or if someone had the same problem before, I really want to use my laptop and it is thus impossible.

  Thank you

• Satellite A200-1QK stops randomly

  Hello.

  Well, lately, my computer randomly stops after a while. For some reason, I can't activate it for 1 or 2 minutes when what is happening. I wonder, is this a battery problem? Or y at - it something worse than that?

  Thanks in advance.

  I put t think its a battery problem!
  For me, it looks like an overheating problem.

  If the temperature rises to the critical level the laptop stops automatically to avoid overheating of the material!
  You will have to wait until the temperature goes down and after about 5-10 minutes you could restart the laptop.

  I think the laptop overheats because cooling cool don t properly hardware modules. Because of the dust and debris inside the laptop don't twist not fans with maximum performance and this leads to a higher temperature.

  In my opinion, you should try to clean the fans using a jet of compressed air!
  Most computer dealers offer these professional tools.

  Best regards

• Satellite A10 dies after the power LED blink

  Hello

  I have a problem with the power supply of my Toshiba Satellite A10. Sometimes, after the computer sat for some time, I have a problem with the power. The "plugged power cable" - LED will start to blink and shortly after, the computer just dies.

  It can also have the time to go into a lower energy state before he does. When it happened once, it will most likely happen also when I restart the computer, but after a much shorter time. WXP won't even have time to start. If I stop to select the source of start-up, the problem will occur anyway, this isn't the software. It should also be noticed that when the computer is not turned off, the 'smart power' - is on correctly.

  I know that my battery is not very good. Completely loaded, the computer can run for maybe 3 minutes with only the battery. I know that I must have a battery connected, even if I use the power cable, but this occurs even when the mine problem. The battery would be pretty bad not even allow me to use the computer with a cable?

  It should be added, that sometimes I can use the computer for long periods of time without this problem to happen. I also have a problem with the battery not being not properly in physical contact with the pins of the computer, but this isn't the problem here, because I have the same problem with the battery removed and me holding the battery in place.

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  You description is very long and detailed and it of still not easy to say what's wrong.
  Usually, the DC-In witness lights up green when DC is provided FRO the AC current. If the output voltage of the adapter is abnormal or if power outages, this indicator flashes orange.

  So I think that is your AC adapter malfunctions or there is something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.

• Satellite A10: Cannot recover system with recovery CD

  Hej everyone!

  I was struggling with a strange problem lately, I can not understand yet, so if anyone has any ideas so pls...

  I have 2 laptops Satellite A10. I lost the CD of recovery to one of them, so when I tried to reinstall the laptop I decided to use the other one recovery CD to do that because they are the same... at least I thought they were...

  I repartitioned the laptop with fdisk and made the partition active, formatted and then when I boot with the recovery CD, it began, began to dump files, but about 20%, he just say 'impossible recovery' or something "partition is not active" and restart. When I rebooted, it saw that the format of the C partition was gone (he said unformated or damaged partition).

  Now, I tried 1 partition, 2 partitions, FAT32 and NTFS, no joy... I think you must have some special configuration of partitions to ensure the success of the recovery, but I don't know how.

  I have not tried to reinstall the other laptop with the recovery CD because I'm afraid that it's too bad...
  Can someone help me pls?

  Hello Linus

  Before you begin the recovery procedure, it can't do anything. Simply start the recovery procedure. I don't really know why the recovery procedure stops after 20%, but please do not prepare HARD drive before using the recovery procedure delivered.

  If I remember well you have two options before the start of the recovery procedure: standard and expert mode. If you use the standard mode is wiped the entire HARD drive and recovery image will create a partition (the whole HARD disk capacity). Using expert mode you can create a clean partition and later in management of the disks (under WXP) create the second logical partition.

  Please try both options. If the recovery CD is not damaged I really don't see any reason why the recovery procedure can be done successfully.

  Hey Buddy,

  You use the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows? Normally with factory settings (preinstalled Windows from Toshiba) everything should work correctly because this image is pre-tested by Toshiba. Otherwise, it might be a hardware problem.
  If you need to reinstall your laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc.

  Which driver you use display? You may use Toshiba drivers.

  In addition, it could be an overheating problem. You should try to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.

  It seems to be a pace in the 2 flashing flashes, 2 flashes 3 flash remains for a second then 2 blinks then stop for 2 seconds and so on. I checked the power supply and I have 15 volts output.

  Can you help me?

• Satellite A10 BIOS update needed!

  Hey guys, my Satellite A10 guard restart whenever I stopped him. I talked to my friend and he said there's a BIOS problem, and I should be updated. So I downloaded the latest version of Toshiba and run it. It told me to insert a disk. This wouldn't be a problem but my A10 is not a floppy drive then how am I ment to upgrade the BIOS of my computer without a floppy drive?

  Hello

  For your model of laptop ago just traditional BIOS update and you need a USB FDD for it. In my opinion, you can check on ebay or somewhere there FDD cheaply or you can contact the Service partner.

  It takes about 10 minutes for the BIOS update, and you can do it alone. It is very easy. As I said, check if you can find a used floppy drive. It cannot be expensive.

  Also, you can borrow one from your dealer or your business!

  Hello

  What you can do is to change some parameters in the Toshiba Power Saver.
  I assume you are using this tool and it s preinstalled on your system

  OK, you can find the Toshiba Power Saver in the control panel.

  Access the GST and chose the details of you power mode.
  Then switch to the power saving (second tab) and set the method of cooling for maximum performance.

  This should increase the fan speed and cooling performance.
