    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200. After 12 months of owning in, its has started to turn off his car, then does not supply power for some time, before giving up the ghost completely!
    I tried a new AC adapter and battery, but no joy, I have read it could be the power supply? Is this a case of buying a new one and soldering in place?

    Thank you very much

    Hello Adam

    You must understand that it is not easy to tell if this happens due to power or other reasons. Have you noticed that laptop rest without power (all LEDs are off)?
    Maybe your laptop overheats and shuts down. What do you think about this?

  • 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?

    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:

  • 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.

    Thank you!

  • Equium U400-146 begins to turn off randomly

    I bought a new Toshiba Equium from PC World, and everything worked perfectly well on...

    But a month later it starts then turn off randomly (that is not caused by overheating), and I have to take out it and put again to start again.

    He has not been abandoned before, and the AC adapter and the battery work fine

    What could be wrong? : S

    Well, if Notepad starts turning off spontaneously then an overheating problem may be possible, I mean this isn't a common behavior of mobile and in my temperature only high opinion could cause something like that
    In most cases the laptop automatically stops to prevent the equipment from damage

    Maybe you should check if the cooling modules can work properly and if nothing prevents air circulation
    Ensure that the vents are free of dust and debris and don t use the laptop in bed, couch or in places where the air circulation is not possible

  • my PC turns off randomly

    I have a problem with vista. the computer just turns off randomly for no apparent reason.

    the machine is a 4 year HP, and he has never done this before.

    No I turn it off when I'm done and then next turn when I need it, but it just stops different lenths of the time, different applications?

    It may be a heat problem, the CPU would be shut down automatically as a security measure to prevent it from overheating. To avoid it to be then you need to open the computer and blow the dust out of it and make sure all the fans run correctly.

    If this isn't the case, then it might be a virus.

  • My Satellite A200 - 1 M 7 turns off randomly

    Hello

    I have a following problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 m 7 2 years: my warranty just expired and my laptop started to fade at random with a frequency about once a week. Sometimes 3 times in a row and sometimes just once.

    I have no problem with turning again and then it works properly. This closure is independent on working time, sometimes, it happens just after the start as well as after a few hours of work. It happens on windows and Linux system, using my battery or not. I don't think it's overheating, as the last time it was cleaned and it doesn t go hot.
    I use all advanced programs and any upgrade of the system.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Hello

    If you n t think that it is an overheating problem?
    Well what could she be then? Motherboard problem? RAM problem?

    RAM can very easily check.
    Download the RAM (google for some free tools) free diagnostic utility and run tests.

    What about BIOS? You have the latest version? If this is not the case, the update!

    But I would not exclude the overheating problem
    I mean the laptop automatically stops because it s a particular physical protection.
    There are sensors that monitor the temperature level and if the CPU or other parties would be too hot, the unit will stop automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.

    Maybe your thermal grease which is placed between the CPU and the module dry cooling?  :| This may happen after a long period of use
    In this case the thermal grease should be renewed by a technician

    Ask an ASP in your country for replacement.

  • 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.

  • 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 A300D - Turn off all the time

    My wife has a Satellite A300D (model PSAK4E) and it keeps closing. The two randomy and when induced under certain conditions

    Previously, I tested the HARD drive and found bad sectors then replaced with a 64 GB SSD. I tried to install Windows 7 but it kept fault towards the end. So I reset the machine without a battery and now the power button for 2 minutes to clear the memory. Installed Windows 7 + updates.

    I was worried about stopping all the time but flashed the BIOS. Flash worked.

    Laptop resets always? I have reviewed several possible causes and wanted to get other peoples ideas
    1 HARD drive - replaced and even resets
    2. battery - ran on power sector only and even resets
    3 overheating - sometimes under certain conditions (memmory tests or you try to run certain applications) or randomly (without reason)
    4. a broken circuit somewhere on the motherboard
    5 - completely new OS + software resets the laptop when using some applications from a live disk.

    Thank you inadance for the help

    Hi me_in_oz,

    Theoretically the laptop turn off itself due to a higher internal temperature to protect the equipment against damage.
    In this case, you will need to clean the laptop using jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. It is easy and takes only a few minutes to check out this article:
    [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

    Otherwise it seems to be a serious hardware problem and your laptop should be checked for professional people. Probably it s a malfunction of the motherboard

  • Satellite A200 (PSAF6A) resets randomly

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAF6A) randomly resetting itself. It does not matter what job I do, or how long I let the laptop, it will be just black screen on me and reboot. Sometimes he'll do Mid-when the form starts, other times I can use it for a while before he'll do. It seems to be a problem which intensified during some time, occurring initially quite rarely, which is now so frequently that it makes the phone unusable.

    This issue seems to happen mostly when running off the AC power. When you use the battery I have minimal problems, until the battery runs out. Although stability is much higher when you use the battery, I can't confirm that AC is actually the cause of the problem, because it is a random problem and I will sometimes use alternating current for a long time without error.

    I can say that the problem is not caused by overheating or drivers/software/OS. The laptop has been maintained to be free of all dust blocking the radiator as well as for a new application of thermal grease for NB and CPU chips. Everything is running at the level of the standard factory.
    I tried Linux, XP, Vista, Win7 and can tell it seems to be a problem specific to an operating system or driver (he got the problem when no OS has been loaded yet).

    If anyone has had similar problems or knows what could be my problem, your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you try it with the factory settings? I mean the version preinstalled Windows that you can restore it with the Toshiba recovery disc. This disc contains all of the drivers and tools and with these settings, everything should work fine.

  • All new Satellite A200 turn on the first time

    I bought a Satellite A200 yesterday and can't turn it on. The power button turns on power, but the start does not start if the power light is on.

    I have to turn on and off at least three times until he decided to start.

    Is there a secret method?

    Hello

    Hmm in your case I would be to remove the battery from the laptop and unplug the power adapter.
    Wait a bit (~ 20 min), then reconnect the two parts.

    I put t know why your laptop didn't start for the first time, but I recommend this behavior of monitoring specifications.
    If this will happen again, and the more often you should contact the authorized service provider in your country to control the laptop.
    If something is wrong that the warranty should cover it.
