Satellite A100 - turns off the power after 60 seconds

After pressing the power button, the laptop starts but 60 seconds from the moment it is activated, the it turns off suddenly?

The fan turns, I tried cutting dvd, wireless, modem, ram, hard drive, it opens and clean all the dust. It turns off after 60 seconds exactly every time

Any ideas?

Thank you
Ben

Hello

> and clean any dust
How did you do that?
Usually, you can use jet of compressed air to clean the laptop and remove the dust that blocks the fan. That is why it s not necessary to disassemble the laptop as you can read here:

And the same thing happens if you access the BIOS instead of starting in Windows?

  • 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.

    The problem is most likely an attempt to update a system malfunction prior it is probably a problem with your computer, not the El Capitan.

    Start by:

    Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

    MacIntel: Reset of the controller (SMC) system management

    Start in Safe Mode , and then re - start normally. It's slower that a normal start, so be patient.

    If you are unable to start;

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    Please make sure that you back up.

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Utility Menu appears.
    2. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
    3. Select the withdrawal (usually Macintosh HD) entry of the volume in the list aside.
    4. Click first aid icon in the toolbar. Wait until the button is active, then click it.
    5. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    6. Select Reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Also, see this tip for user: basic steps for the OS X upgrade.

    If this doesn't get you;

    Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch

    Backup if possible before proceeding.

    Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime hold down the command and R buttons until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:

    Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.

    When loading disk utility, select the volume (entered into withdrawal, usually Macintosh HD) from the list of devices.

    Click Delete in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.

    Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).

    Click on the apply button, then wait for the done button to activate and click on it.

  • How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

    Hello everyone

    I'm selling my Portege R830-10 q If I want to restore it to the settings to factory (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.

    I brought the laptop to factory settings successfully using the _TOSHIBA recovery Wizard_ and choosing * factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-box) *. However, at the end of the process of recovery and after everything is back in place I was not able to TURN off the POWER to the laptop. It only gave me the option to restart. After rephrasing it, the Windows installation process starts.

    I don't want to install Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows installation for the person buying the laptop to me. How can I turn off the laptop after the recovery of the system without having to install Windows?

    I would appreciate your help.

    Concerning

    Pedro

    When the recovery process is complete and you are prompted for a reboot just press start button / stop and turn it off. I think it's only thing you can do.

    Anyway, why not start Windows and go through the configuration option. New owner can modify this basic anyway parameters. As username Admin and language and the keyboard can be set as default.

    For example, if you have a picture of German recovery set to German. New owner can change in any case.

    For this printer only when it is connected to the network. Quite happy to sit quietly when printer NOT connected to the network.

    Unplug the network cable from the printer, check and clear all print queues (there may be a doc pdf sitting in a pc or server print queue)

    Once the queues have been dotted, restart the printer and reconnect the network cable.

    If this does not cure the problem, then the likely problem is a defective formatter Board.

    Good luck!

  • E 7520 HP All - In - One Printer: turn off the power to the wireless printer

    I have not printed for a few days I have not noticed if my Wi - Fi connection worked.

    I tried to print wireless today and got the error message that the printer was not connected to the internet.  I tried to go wrong, but it did not help.  I checked the connection to the wireless router and put the password in.  It has not yet recognized it.  I tried to disable printing for my smart phone (I think it is called), but the screen froze on the circle showing the progress.

    I tried to turn off the printer with the power button, but that no longer works.

    The Wi - Fi light just keeps blinking.

    How can I disable the printer may reset?  Or can you help get my printer to recognize my wireless again?

    Thank you.

    Hi Rhonda, there.

    I would suggest to unplug the power cord from the printer without turning it off with the switch, it will do a reset without getting rid of all the parameters. You simply leave unplugged for about 1-2 minutes to clear out any power.

    I recommend then reconnect, and doing as much as you can from the guide below:

    Printer keeps no connection Wi - Fi

    Good luck and let me know how it goes

  • Spoolsv.exe has 99% of the cpu when I turned off the printer after printing.

    Original title: spoolsv.

    I recently installed a new printer Lexmark Pro715.  Everything works fine, no problems with printing, but as soon as I put off the printer after printing, spoolsv.exe takes 99% CPU.  If I leave the printer in mode 'sleep', the problem is, but I do not often print, I prefer to turn off completely.  There is nothing in the print queue, everything else seems normal.  I can use the Task Manager to stop it, but this isn't a good solution in the long term.  I run MS Update and uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, with no effect.  It's driving me crazy.  I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3.

    From what I've read on the Internet about the print spooler using 99 to 100%, Norton is also sometimes involved as a contributing factor to a runaway print spooler for some people (where my request).

    IIRC, people would set their Norton to start a scan and when it was made, the print spooler has run amok at 100%:

    "Because I have Norton Antivirus, do a system scan every Friday night that I happened to see that the value SPOOLSV. EXE is using almost 100% of the CPU of the morning Saturday. It's the only time that it happens, so I simply stop the process in the SERVICES window, and life is good. I don't know why Norton Antivirus it triggers during the scanning process that I couldn't find anything on the Symantec relating to this site. »

    If the problem resurfaces surface, using abduction special tools on their website, you can uninstall your Norton and view the appearance of things without him - you can always reinstall again once, right?

    I disagree with Norton in general for its CPU and memory hogging and known interference with other XP processes (such as the restoration of the system), so I'd keep which in mind if the problem returns.

    A few years ago, I used to like Norton correct, but will never go back or recommend it.  Microsoft Security Essentials with it's lower overhead and footprint and some regular on the analyses at the request of the MBAM and SAS should hold your own system based on your surfing habits.  Your system will reward you with an improvement in the overall performance of the system as well.

    I can tell you that no single AV tool seems to know everyting so it is safe to use several respectable scanning tools.  Norton certainly doesn't know everything.

    Hello

    According to your description, the battery provides the laptop with power.
    In my opinion there is problem with the battery itself or electronic supply on the motherboard.
    I think that it of a failure of battery, but to be 100% sure that the audit of the books is necessary!

    The X 200 is a new series of laptop so I'm 100% sure that the guarantee is valid. Am I wrong?

    If you shouldn't t waste time and contact the service provider authorized in your country.
    The guys of the explain your situation and ask for later handling.

    Each cheque replacement and part is done for free!

    Good luck & congratulations guy ;)
