Satellite A205 - unexpected shutdown

Hey foulks,.

At this computer for 1.5 years. Disassembled my s4607 A205, cleaned and Artic Silver on the chip in mind after that cleaning with denatured alchol. Problem persists, three days later.

Basic time are around 60 C. The machine seems to do unexpected stop at night. The next morning, hit power, get the screen option to boot normally and it rises and works very well.

Usually, the machine just closed unexpectedly, no warning, no shutdown process, just power. This has happened to my fingers only 4 times. All the other times it was overnight, probably more than 100 times. Also, when I go to the BIOS utility and pass dynamic low, NO PROBLEMS. Toshiba has a problem of design with this laptop. My A305 series doesn't have this problem.

I now run a second monitor turned off this machine to the extended format. Not sure if this could be a cause. I think maybe it is and the ACPI fan speed issue but not to say. Sometimes the fan goes to a mid level speed balance and works very well for long periods.

I am all of these ideas. I guess with this computer, I bought a DEFECTIVE of Toshiba PORTABLE computer.

Hello!

I'm pretty sure that you didn t bought a defective laptop with Toshiba because you worte that you already had this computer for 1.5 years.
And even if you bought a defective laptop, these things happen. Nobody's perfect and for problems around the laptop, you can contact an authorized service provider. They can repair the laptop to and under warranty it s free.

However, if I understand you just the problem starts after you have disassembled the laptop to clean. Is this fair?
If so you should check the laptop again. Maybe you did something wrong or you used enough/not enough thermal grease.
Check this box!

If you can t help yourself, you must contact an authorized assistance service provider. Technicians can help you. ;)

Good bye

    Thank you

    Of course, your laptop model is not fully supported for Windows XP Home edition.
    Another place for drivers? There's no other place where you can find the drivers for your laptop model. You have the laptop model US and it will appear on American support page only.

    What you can do is compare the material on your laptops and trying to find the similar model, but fully taken WXP supported and use these drivers.
    If you do not find the only drivers so you won't find any plan because your laptop is not supported for Windows XP Home edition.

    Yes, for an optimal working, you driver touchpad, audio driver, chipset, LAN/WLAN driver, driver video driver. S, I think, the minimum on the drivers that must be installed for optimal work.

    Do you also have problems with the Toshiba Recovery disk or the Windows XP disc?

    The problem is probably related to the drivers SATA may have installed XP correctly when you change the HARD drive in the BIOS from AHCI compatible?

  • Satellite A205-S4707 - cannot run camera on Windows 7

    Hi all!

    I have Toshiba Satellite a205 s4707, with Windows 7.

    It has the latest drivers Toshiba bios is after update, but I can't launch the camera. I tried everything I found on the internet but not worked for me.
    I tried to install a different software (not later), reinstall, update...

    I GIVE UP!

    Pls help someone! Show me that there is another way that it will run my camera!

    I have the driver installed, but in Device Manager, I have warning with "Chicony USB 2.0 Camera" - code 10.

    Help! PLS!

    Hey,.

    Error code 10 in Device Manager means usually only it s a driver problem...

    Which Toshiba page you downloaded the latest webcam driver?
    Using Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?

    In your case, I would like to delete the current version of the software of the webcam. Then restart your computer and install the latest version of it.

  • How to turn off the menu of the camera on Satellite A205?

    About a year and a half ago, I bought a laptop Satellite A205-S462. It came with a camera that I never had a use for. I managed to turn off the camera, but the context menu pop still annoyingly when my mouse goes to the left of the screen.
    Can someone tell me how to disable or hide the menu permanently?

    In addition, because I'm not a big fan of the use of memory on the facilities that I don't use, I guess it's a service I need to stop. But which?
    TYIA

    Hello

    Best thing you can do is follow:

    Start the window RUN (Win + R key) and put inside MSCONFIG. When the system configuration window is open, click on the Startup tab. You will find Chicony traybar under Startup items. Delete in front of her box and Camera Assistant Software will be begins not with Vista.

    If you need cam you can start it manually.

  • Satellite A205 - Vista backup center and restoration with a WiFi hard drive

    I use Vista Ultimate Center of backup and restore to back up hard drive of my laptop Satellite A205 series on a wireless external hard drive. The external hard drive (which is formatted in NTFS) is directly attached (via USB) to my wireless router Belkin low, instead of being connected directly on my laptop.

    I know that this WiFi network hard drive is recognized by my laptop series Satellite A205, because it appears as "Drive Z:" when I click on 'My Computer'... but the version of "Backup and Restore Center" which appeared on my laptop Satellite A205 only allows backup of DVD or directly - connected hard drive not the readers of (strange for a laptop with built-in WiFi) network.

    By contrast, the version of the backup center and restaurant located on my computer to my lists one office (also Vista), drives on the computer at first - but it includes a "more:"hyperlink by which someone with rights Admin can click and access the network drives. "

    This "more:"hyperlink does not appear on the version of the backup center and restore on my laptop Toshiba Satellite 205. "

    I can't even someone at Microsoft to talk to me without first
    $ 69.95 for the 'privilege '.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi irsharp23,

    > but the version of "Backup and Restore Center" which appeared on my Satellite A205 laptop only allows backup of DVD or directly - connected hard drive not the readers of (strange for a laptop with WiFi built-in) network.
    Laughing out loud
    I think that's not a junk Toshiba. Center backup and restore is designed by Microsoft and Toshiba has nothing to do with it. So I think you need to get in touch with the guys at Microsoft to ask for a solution, or there may be an update for this tool.
    Did you check that?

    Moreover, why n t connect the external DRIVE directly to your laptop drive? I don't see a reason to connect such a disc HARD backup over the network, because this image of backup can be used only on your laptop.

    Alternative, I can recommend Acronis True Image to record images of backup on the network or if you use Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize your files between laptops and network. ;)

    Hello!

    You will find hundreds of discussions here in the forum about this, if you install Windows XP and Vista from a Microsoft disc and the HARD drive can't be detected... So he s strange to read these questions again and again.

    However, to install Windows, you need the SATA drivers or let's say the Intel Storage Manager package. It contains the driver you need. You can then create a new installation using nLite [www.nliteos.com]
    Or look you at this Toshiba document: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

  • Satellite A205-S4617 - where can I download the XP drivers?

    Hi all.

    I have a 2 years Satellite a205-S4617 I want to install XP on. Before wiping Vista if I'm trying to locate and download all the drivers, I need because I got caught out due to lack of drivers for laptop before.

    Problem is that Toshiba seems to have forgotten that they have never done the A205 model. He has not mentioned anywhere on the site or listed in the drop-down lists for current laptops or abandoned.

    Anyone know why this is and where I can find the exact drivers I need? I tried a few software solutions, and Yes, they see my drivers and tell me that some could do with updating but then request payment before you tell me where to get them.
    It's weird the way Toshiba does not even recognize my serial number is.

    Hi skeeta,.

    Everything for your laptop can be downloaded here:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com > download

    I checked the page and there's not all the XP drivers, it seems that you have to collect the rest of them on Web sites external

    An alternative, you can try some European Satellite A200 XP drivers. As far as I know, these models are similar:

    HM, I Don t think it's a problem because your machine is not working properly, doesn´t it?

    I mean, you really have a system very powerful which is packaged in a minimum of size.

    Please compare your machine with a desktop computer and you will recognize that you have some cooling devices well less than a desktop computer with a similar performance. So, Don t worry, it's normal that a laptop gets a little warmer.

    If something begins to melt, then it s critical. :) But sometimes won´t. ;)

    Hello

    I intend to buy the Toshiba Satellite A300-1EC, which is Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz...

    Tell me is interesting?

    Its your choice. The A200 is too slow with the Applications that you use? Do you need to improve 3D performance? Photoshop takes too long to process the images?

    The A300 would have a faster graphics chip, faster memory, more fast/more big HDD, better connectivity, perhaps more memory, more features, grunt a little more CPU.

    Take a look at the specifications in the Brochure and decide if elements or the quicker features you would enjoy. My friend has an A300 with facial recognition (and FM radio I think!), its quite a good machine :)
