Satellite A100 - sound turns off randomly

OK, it was my fault. I lent my laptop to one of my students who tried to load a software to read a FLV file.
Since then, I had a lot of problems with my sound.

The sound would work, but when the volume is too high or often at random - the sound would cut out them and stop them.
The sound level meter shows that sound is working.
Mixer indicates that the driver is working.
But I do not hear anything from the speakers.
Only when I stop and restart the sound coming back.

I downloaded the sound driver Toshiba Real Tek recommended, but this has not solved the problem.
I completely rebooted Vista and all my software, but this has not solved the problem.

I have a Satellite A100 PSAANC WA07
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
BIOS Version 6.00
RealTek Audio driver 6.0.1.5326

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

It s really strange that your problem persists after that you got the laptop.

What you could do is visit the site Web of Realtek and could attempt to reinstall the audio driver directly from Realtek page.
Before installing the new version, he recommended to remove the old driver sound system.

  • 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

    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:

    Toshiba Satellite A100 (model PSAA8) chipset Intel

    Hey mate,

    If you have the same problem on an external monitor I think that it s related to the motherboard or something else. He should t be a problem of the internal screen I think

    It's really hard to say something about it, but you can try to update the display driver and BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site.
    Check it!

    In addition, it would be interesting to know what operating system you are using. Operating system preinstalled Toshiba?

  • Issue while the Satellite A100-383 turn off

    Everytime I try to turn off my A100-383 of the screen goes black but the blue light on the left side and the small blue led and blue battery light stay lit.

    As I do not know if the computer is finally off or still work I based on the the Start button / stop and turn off it. The small blue led and blue battery light stays on

    What I do then takes the battery pack to stop lighting and when I restart the laptop I always get the message to advise him of the system that the computer was not properly extinguished.

    What can I do? Is this a failure of this model?

    Fernando

    Hello Fernando

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. This behavior has noting to do with the portable model but rather with the configuration of the operating system. I can't imagine that from day one and I think that some process blocks regularly switching OFF.

    I can say with certainty that with OS installation, something like this will not happen. What you can do is check all running processes and try to pass some of them manually and then try turning off the laptop. Test a little and also try to delete some applications if any of them may be responsible for this.

  • Satellite M40X-230 turns off randomly

    Hello

    My satellite m40x-230 is about 2 years old. Recently, power has been cut out completely Mid-use - for example I watch a movie and suddenly everything power to cancel - it is connected through the ESA and the battery is connected when this happens. If I unplug the AC and the battery and wait a while, then ac and battery back, I can to come back on and it works very well for a while.

    Can anyone suggest what the problem please?

    Thanks in advance.

    Not easy to say with certainty what the problem may be but let us start with an innocuous explanation: I think that this happens due to overheating. Obviously the material temperature has reached the critical level and the laptop turns off simply without any warning.

    It is because of the material. Because of this, the first step, you can do is to clean your laptop. I guess that after two years, there is a lot of dust on the inside and the air flow is blocked.

  • Satellite A100 (PSAAN) turns off automatically

    When I try to do some actions as the portable audio and video conversion just turn off.
    Then turn off fan start working faster and then click sound examples and everything on.
    I have to turn it on again.

    This is temp without conversion
    http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/8284/chapala078hm4.jpg
    When converting it comes up to 85

    It is a clear case to me.

    The problem described is related to overheating.
    Overheating is caused by different reasons, but the main reason are the dust and debris inside the cooling modules.
    Cooling modules do not work with the best performance because of the dust, which leads to a higher temperature and finally to overheating.

    The laptop stops automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.
    I think if the fans would be carefully clean then you should be able to solve this annoying problem.

    The jet of compressed air can be very useful. It is a professional tool and can be bought in most computer resellers.

    Hi all

  • Satellite P20-521 turns off randomly without warning

    Computer shuts down randomly without warning. I also had a few blue screens of death last week.
    To restore using factory settings.
    Or should I return my Toshiba laptop

    Hello

    As Johnny writes that you should try to clean the unit. I used Satellite P20 for two years and remove the cooling in the lower corner, I found a lot of dust inside. After that cleaning of the laptop was much more calm and cooling fan did not run at full speed as before.

    I imagine that your laptop may not be cooled properly and the result is overheating. Your first step should be to remove dust. Look at how the laptop runs after doing this. If the laptop starts to cut again please write us again.

  • Satellite A100 - PSAA5U SP2022 sometimes turns off randomly

    Hello

    I have a toshiba Satellite A100-SP2022 PSAA5U-02G00G portable satellite and sometimes turns off the coast at random.
    The battery and charger are OK.

    I saw a bulletin saying a word on an update of the BIOS for A100 series for that matter.

    The problem is: I can't find my model or my BIOS to the toshiba support site.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t think that this could be linked to the BIOS
    In my opinion the reason for this problem could be a high temperature.

    You said that the laptop stops automatically?
    Usually, this occurs if the temperature reaches a critical threshold and the laptop stops to prevent the equipment from damage

    In most cases, the vents are clogged and air cannot circulate properly.

    Therefore, it would be desirable to check and clean the ventilation openings with a professional air spray.
    This could help them to get rid of dust and debris.

  • iPhone turns off randomly

    Hello

    I got an iPhone 5S for about a year and a half and, for the most part, it was a great phone for me. Yesterday, it turns off randomly every few hours. It already happened, and usually stops the next day. However, it was not the case this time. All day today, it would be random and often turned off and won't turn back on unless it is plugged or I hold all the buttons. In addition, the percentages of battery were in every sense. Sometimes, when turned back on, it will be 100% even it it has low battery symbol flash before the apple logo, as it is powered. About 10 minutes, however, he turned on and says that it is 5%. I'm sitting here watching and it has not extinguished since and has charged up to 11%. I use third-party chargers. I only used a up to the earlier today, when I remembered, I got another loader (which is also a third party). So I went to that one, but I don't think it makes a difference.

    It's now about 2 hours. My phone was plugged in and 100% for most of the time. No problems. Then I disconnected and had it for about 2 minutes, works great until I put my case back on. He then turns off. I was able to turn it back on, but it then immediately off again. I plugged and I can't turn it on.

    Any ideas as to what could be the problem? And more importantly, a solution?

    Sorry this is so long and complicated. I will answer questions about my unusual situation if it helps solve the problem.

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite 2430-s255 turns off 5 minutes every time I play streaming video clips to web sites using Windows Media Player version 10.0. I have uninstall the version 10 and used version 9, but there is no difference. Computer has 512 meg of memory and 10 GB of additional space on the hard drive.

    There is no problem when I play DVD using the same software.

    Toshiba support has been telling me that cpu is working hard and it heats up because of this problem. I used the fan to circulate the air, but the computer still shuts off.

    Can help.

    Christiane

    HI Fanny,.

    Any graphic activity will tend to make your laptop run more hot and therefore sufficient cooling.

    Make sure that your airway through the CPU radiator is not clogged with dust and debris (a lot of discussions in this forum about this) and also ensure that there is sufficient air under your laptop knife get in the fan air vents.

    Hello

    you are somewhat familiar with computers? If not, I suggest you bring your machine to a local service partner (http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?subs=tais)
    If Yes, then firstly make a few hardwaretests. You can make them with tools like "Memtest86" for memory or "Prime95" for CPU and RAM.
    This software is on a windows live cd for computer-maintenance as the UBCD4Win (Ultimate Boot CD for Windows) which contains a lot of useful tools and diagnostic programs.
    HereĀ“s a link:
    www.UBCD4Win.com

    Other means can be:
    Clean the CPU fan, try to remove the RAM (maybe), maybe the power adapter is defective or maybe the battery.
    It s a little more difficult to find these things, but often it s really good to use this live-cd-system and check the system.

    So, try it (or not :)) and give some information about what happened, maybe to give more detailed information about the behavior of the machine.)

  • My Satellite L555-L11 turns off suddenly very

    Hello
    My satellite L555 L11 turns off very suddenly. It seems that it s because of the heat, as when it arrives, I put my hand under the laptop and feel a too high temperature.
    my laptop is 5 years
    What should I do?
    thx for you answer

    I think your laptop is quite full of dust and I can imagine that cooling rack is blocked so that your laptop is unable to catch his breath.

    Believe me, that cleaning can help. Best thing you can do is professional cleaning. In this case the laptop must be disassembled. Otherwise, you can buy compressed air and try to clean it.
