Satellite A200 just turns off

I have a satellite A200 that keeps turning off...

first of all, it wouldn't start up, so removed the battery and plugged directly to AC and then it started again.

Now, he just stops... It seems to be not too hot...

What are the problems and solutions...

Computer is 19 months old and it's very frustrating...

Hello

In most cases, the blocked cooling modules are the reason for the higher temperature and why the laptop turns off automatically.
You could clean the vents and cooling fans with a jet of compressed air.
This would remove the dust inside the laptop.

  • Satellite A200 keeps turning off

    Hi people.
    I too have a satellite A200. It is about 2 years old and keeps the decommissioning. Sometimes it turns off if physically moved - for example from a tower in a table. Sometimes it connects again once you put it in hibernation/standby mode by quickly pressing the power button. When I try and start it again in another quick, press the power button, nothing happens about half the time. In this situation when the laptop is in mode 'sleep' the only way to switch is again by removing the battery and then start again. Then it comes up with an error message about an improper closing of windows, giving you the possibility of opening in Mode safe. You lose nothing as you work, so it's a real pain.

    It disappeared twice for repair, but they can't find the problem so I did a Google search and found this forum. It would be good to know more than all expertise - especially to Toshiba.

    If the laptop turns off automatically, then this can be linked to a higher temperature in most cases but not always, this is the reason.
    Dust or debris clogged the ventilation openings, which leads to a higher temperature.

    In addition, the dry thermal grease which is placed between the CPU and the cooling module can be that the reason for this in such a case, the thermal paste should be renewed

    It's certainly a job for a technician for laptop

  • Satellite A200 will turn off by itself continuously

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop because it stops itself constantly, having used internet for 30 minutes, or immediately after launching a major program like photoshop or autocad or a game.

    I spotted that it also runs very hot fast in a few minutes could be related? What could be the problem?

    Hi mate.

    Quest - what? I think I know what could cause this problem.
    I think that it s associated with high temperature. The CPU and the GPU create a lot of heat while running a powerful software (app chart, games, etc.).
    Eventually, the cooling modules can cool the CPU because of dust.

    Remove dust from the cooling fans and the grids using a jet of compressed air.
    This tool is very useful and can be bought from different merchants online.

  • Satellite Pro A10 just turned off with warning message

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A10 I've had for about 2 years now. During the 2 ~ 3 days I started to have a problem very serious and boring, and you're doing something to run MS word thro to play to a very high technical game (this game can be played on an old 486 no probs) the laptop after about 20 minutes (may vary) usage turns off just with warning message it immediately restarts without any problems and then after different durations down again and again :, (. everything got a clue what the hell happens, please help. :))

    Colin B

    Hello Colin

    Portable described behavior is specific to the overheating of the material. If the laptop is not properly cooled the temperature of the material at the level critical and just turns off without warning.

    Solution is cleaning. The device must be cleaned and dust should be removed. After doing this unit can take a new breath and you won't have this problem again. You will see that run cooling fan will also soften than before.

  • Satellite A75-5211 just turns off

    Hi, I had this problem in the past once and he's back now. My computer is a Satellite A75-5211. When I play any game on it (like MVP Baseball 2005), at some point the computer just turns off without any warning. It's as if all the power is just part of him! I can start again, and then everything is normal.

    In the past, the problem disappeared for a few months, but it happens regularly now. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. Also, I use the program hardware sensors monitor 4.2 and it tells me that my CPU1 temperature is 60.0 ° c, while the temperature of the HARD drive is 37.0

    If this problem cannot be solved by a technician in person, where is the nearest place that I can go? I live in Canterbury, UK.
    Thank you
    Sebastian

    To me, this looks also because of overheating.
    This probably occurs because the game is a heavy application that requires complete laptop. In this case the CPU and graphics card produce a lot of heat, and therefore the temperature rises to a higher level.
    Then the operating system shut down the laptop to prevent damage.

    As mentioned you should check the fans and cooling modules and possibly try to clean with the vacuum cleaner. In addition, there should be enough free space around the laptop to the circulation air properly.

  • Satellite Pro A60 has just turned off and won't come back

    My Satellite A60 laptop just turned off and will not go there is nothing no sound no lights nothing.it ran on sector when it happened.

    any help apreciated

    Hello, Heidi

    Remove the battery, connect your laptop adapter only and try starting your laptop running. When the laptop boot and OS is fully loaded, wait a few minutes and reinsert the battery.

    If everything is OK look carefully if the battery will be charged correctly and when battery LED is green (fully charged battery) try to turn off your laptop as usual. Turn it back on and carefully monitor what is happening exactly.

    I think something with your hardware is not OK because this logo lights up at any time, and if it doesn't then you should find the nearest [Authorized Service Partner | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT] and bring your machine.

  • Satellite 2430-S255 turns off during playback of video clips

    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.

  • 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.

  • Satellite A60-122 turns off immediately

    Hi there, my 2.5 year satellite SA60-122 turns off no aparent reason.
    Sometimes after 10 minutes and sometimes after 3 hours.

    Why o why?

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Thnx a lot.

    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.
    Here´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.

  • Satellite L300D-119 turns off suddenly without particular reason

    Hello

    just while I do things randomly on my laptop, it just turns off. And it's not like when I press 'Shut Off' on the start menu, it stops completely, and the screen goes black.

    The PC itself is not overheated or anything in this case.

    I am very concerned, does anyone know how to do? In this case, thank you very much.

    Hello

    You must understand that no one here can say with certainty why this happens, and if this happens continuously, you must contact the nearest service provider and ask for help.
    They check your laptop. The warranty is valid, and if something needs to be done it will be done for free.

  • Satellite A200 - LCD turn on automatically

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 with power saver software Toshiba. In order to save energy, I sometimes activate the low-power mode. I have the top of the LCD must be turned off after a minute, that after this minute, the LCD is just off very shortly (about one second) and turn it on again.

    What is the problem?
    Thanks for the reply (s) :-)

    Greetings from the Germany
    faithson

    Hello

    Maybe you tap the mouse or another thing, and if the LCD display is activated again. What do you think?

    Alternative, I would try to reinstall Toshiba Power Saver. On the Toshiba site you can download.
    Also, make sure that this power profile is activated when you have chosen the option of turning off the LCD.

  • Satellite Pro L650 turns off after start; DC In and Power LEDs blink on stop

    A friend Satellite Pro L650 having worked well until yesterday, all of a sudden turned itself off. Now, at startup, it lights up normally for about 10-15 seconds before turning off suddenly. Turned off, the DC in white/blue LED and the orange Power LED Flash on a broad set of intervals of approximately one second. This extinction happens if I leave Windows or press F2 to enter the BIOS setup.

    I guess this blinking is intended to serve as a kind of diagnostic code, but I have yet to track down what it means. Can anyone help?

    To avoid confusion, power without the product stack the same, sudden stop experience, except the two LEDs remain solidly lit this time. With or without battery, trying to turn on again immediately after that a shutdown produced no response at all. Remove the power cable and immediately it reconnect again and turn then produced a brutal power off, but in less than 5 seconds. More wait between attempts to market seems to give a little longer powered on State, but without fault, the machine turns off just suddenly. With its short time 'turned on' we are talking, there cannot be any kind of thermal protection?

    I had an old Satellite L450D lying around that uses coincidentally the same AC PA-1750 adapter, but use it made no difference. Of course, the battery does not have the L650!

    The only previous numbers, that I am aware of this machine have been intermittent case of Windows reporting "Plugged in, not charging", but as my friend use it exclusively on the network, it was not a problem.

    Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated...
