• Satellite A30 303 stops automatically

  My Satellite SA30-303 keeps power off. I suspect it is an overheating problem. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You might be right.
  To my knowledge the OS could the laptop will stop if the temperature increased at the critical level.

  You know that each device preinstalled in the notebook produced heat.
  Sometimes more operating devices with maximum performance.
  The devices run with maximum when performance performance heavyweight like games runs on the laptop.

  On my laptop Toshiba power saver determines the method of cooling and the processing speed of the CPU. I think that this is also preinstalled on your laptop. Therefore, you should first check these options.

  In addition, you should check your module cooling fans. Sometimes the dust and debris keep the laptop cooling properly.
  You must also have sufficient free space around the laptop for cool air circulation.

• Satellite A30 - 303 unplanned shutdown?

  Hello world

  I have a laptop Satellite A30-303. Somehow, independent programs open in Windows XP (Home, Pro edition, tried both), computer laptop unexpectedly shutw down, stop immediately. No message from windows, no errors of any kind, nothing, just the way it went.

  It's very strange. I have read all of the instructions, did the bios update to 1.80 (dated Sep 15) and still the same thing.

  Fact checking for viruses, all firewalls security and it did not help at all.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance,
  Kind regards

  Hello Hakan

  Please check that the machine not too much heat! The symptom you describe is exactly that of a machine overheating. Check if the fan is running continuously before stopping. Also check that there is no dust in the cooling of the machine module.

• Satellite A30 - 303 - drivers for Windows 7 that I can use?

  Hello!

  I just installed Windows 7 on my Satellite A30 303
  What drivers and updates download for it? I can't find any information on this topic... also toshiba detector program cannot identify my laptop...

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think it might be a little difficult to get Windows 7 drivers for this good old classic... The point is that Satellite A30 isn't designed for Windows 7, then you the way simplest are using Toshiba recovery disc where all the drivers and tools are already preinstalled.

  I can only find Windows XP drivers on the Toshiba site, so in my opinion, it would be the best choice for this laptop.

• Satellite A30-213 - stops after loading Internet pages

  My satellite A30 213 stops almost everytime, when I enter a website with a lot of uploadings. The machine rotates in about a minute or two and closed its doors. I know that my RAM is only 256 KB. Is that why and in this case, what can I do about it?

  Best regards
  Janne

  Hello

  It is not easy to give a correct answer, but the fact is that 256 MB of RAM for using Windows XP Home edition is really not much. I do not know what A30 you have exactly, but some of them can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM.

  RAM modules are not more expensive and I recommend you to upgrade to 1 GB minimum. After this the laptop will have a lot more resources and will go much faster.

• Satellite A30 303: error of calibration on power mat * a UJ-811

  Hello, I have a problem with my satellite A30-303.
  I am trying to record CDs and DVDs. A month ago it gives me an error at the end of the recording. The error is 'Power Calibration Error'.
  How can I solve this?

  Thanks for the help.

  Toshiba Satellite A30 303

  Hello

  I read some of the comments in this forum about power calibration error and it seems that usually only the drive replacement will solve the problem.
  One reason might be poor quality media like CD/DVD
  But please check out this site:

  But if this error occurs with all CD/DVD media, so in my opinion, the drive should be replaced

• Question about card WiFi for Satellite A30 303

  Intel pro wireless card works with my satellite A30 303? The signal is strong or more just to buy a USB WiFi adapter?

  I have to buy a wireless card, but I don't know who... and if a USB adapter works better than a PCI (signal stronger and more stable)

  Null value

  Hello

  It could pass the Sat A30-303 with the Wireless LAN PA3212U-1MPC card.
  It is an Intel 2100 Pro minPCI wireless network card that supports the 802. 11b standard.

  But to be honest, I prefer the external solution like WLan USB stick.
  You know that, sometimes, some compatibility problem between the wireless network card and the WLan router might appear. In my opinion it is much easier to test and remove the external USB WLAN as a wireless network card internal minPCI.

  Hope I could help a little.

  Good bye

• Should I use IDE or a SATA HDD in a Satellite A30 303

  Hi there, I was wondering what HARD drive I can get for my laptop A30-303 because the old is dying today being a machine for 4 years, so I would like to upgrade. Y at - it a maximum size of the machine, or I can put in any size of HARD drive?

  Also the HARD disk doesn't have an IDE or SATA interface?

  Hello

  As far as I remember the Satellite A30-303 PSA30E series came with a 60 GB 4200 RPM HARD drive.
  The laptop supports the Enhanced IDE (ATA-5). This means that you need to use the HARD drive that supports an IDE interface!

  But note; not all HARD drive sizes are supported. There is a BIOS HARD disk size limitation.
  I'm not sure on the compatible HARD disk sizes but in my opinion, you should be able to use 80 GB, 100 GB of maybe too.

  Best regards

• Update the BIOS on Satellite A30 303

  Having a Satellite A30-303.
  With no intern work DVD.
  Have a usb DVD boot.

  I wonder if I can update Bios from Ubuntu. I need execute a .exe.

  Or if I can take a floppy and run the file BACK.

  Hello!

  For the Satellite A30 only one based on windows BIOS update is available.
  I think this will not work on Ubuntu and install Windows to make this update.

  Normally on Windows systems, you need to download the BIOS update, extract the .exe file and start it. That's all.

  Good bye

• Recovery of my Satellite A30 303

  Hello

  My Satellite A30 303 needs to be recovered that XP is constantly hooked and crashing and I would also be able to create a partition with a distro of linux on it, but the problem is that the DVD - RAM drive no longer works, and I was using a DVD-RAM external for awhile drive LG GSA - 2166D to read and write CDs , but I can't get the laptop to start this device as it is USB. Is it possible to boot from this device, or is it an another workaround?

  A big thank you to anyone who can help me.

  Hello

  Don t waste time and start don t try from the external USB CD/DVD drive.
  It's just not possible!

  The BIOS does not support a boot from the USB WEIRD. The BIOS supports disk HARD, the ODD, the LAN and USB FDD as devices bootable but not CD/DVD USB drive.

  You have no other choice as to buy a compatible CD player and internal support.

  Of course, you can try to boot from LAN, but it's not very easy and you will need to configure a RIS server.

• Satellite A30 always stop without notice

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem with my laptop Satellite A30. It will always stop without notice. But the thing is that I n it's a problem of heating with the fans. The laptop turns off only to if im under the laptop to maximum power or full power from the AC adapter. Tasks that can be taxed as a full system virus scan or play games will be stopped after about 20 minutes more than the setting of high battery power or if its connection to the network and is set to full power. Using word or simple tasks are not.

  Now im thinking there may be a problem with my cpu it can not handle when it needs to perform tasks advanced on my laptop. What could be the problem? Low power my laptop works very well even when executing these advances of the tasks it is only a problem when its power on full or high.

  Any help or advice?

  Hello

  Thanks for the description I always think of it s an overheating problem.
  Current laptop saver control different modes of consumption if the laptop works with the AC adapter or with full power, the energy saver uses different power mode when the laptop will run only to batteries.

  Different consumption patterns are supported various parameters of the processor and the different method of cooling.
  Probably the CPU works with a hot and maximum performance when the power adapter is connected.

  I think you should check the cooling modules and fans. Try cleaning carefully with the vacuum cleaner. But if you have no experience with these procedures, then request a technician or a person with more experience

  Perhaps, the Bios is damaged and need to be reflashed

  > Second one is sometimes - this work and I can't change point of cd rom, but after a few minutes lp albums stop while he treats

  The hard drive can be a troublemaker. To be honest, it is not easy to say what is really happening through this forum. It can turned off because of overheating, clean the tower with air jet

• Satellite A30 921 stops after 10 minutes

  I am the owner of a Satellite A30 921, but it stops after 10 minutes.
  I tried to change the settings for toshiba power management, but they will not work any ideas?

  The laptop turns off automatically without display of error messages?
  This can be caused by an overheating problem!

  How old is your laptop and you clean the cooling fans in the past?
  If this isn't the case, I recommend you this doing.

  To clean the fans, you can use the jet of compressed air that can be bought in most computer stores.
  The problem is that dust and debris inside of the laptop prevents cooling modules works properly, and so the temperature increases to a higher level. This leads to the farm automatically from the bottom.

  In my opinion, fans of cleaning might help with this problem.
  Good bye

• Satellite P20 S203 stops suddenly

  Hello

  In the last month my Satellite P20 S203 does so well, and unfortunately it seems that the problem is a hardware one (but I'm not sure, and that's why I'm writing here)

  The computer just stops suddenly (it happened 2 or 3 times in the last 30 days); every time it happened I was on the web on Firefox, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with it, and I'm also 99% sure that this is not a virus, malware or something like that, cause I formatted there are 3 months and nothing else behave in a strange way, the computer is slow or something like that.

  The last two options are that the question can be of a physical nature, or a software (as a conflict between the operating system and installed programs); I'm more to the first, but I do not know and I need assistance to find out... What should I do?

  In addition, when it stops suddenly, it won't turn with the first try.
  He needs like 10 or 20 times to open like an old car that won't start; the first, say, 5 times I try to turn it on, it appears only the toshiba logo.
  It then passes through a screen, I can not read because it goes too fast.

  Then a black screen, then it turns off again.
  With the next try that it goes a bit further, as it displays the windows logo, but as this image is fading, it stops halfway through the fading process, resulting in a darker windows logo, as it is too difficult for her to load the OS!

  But then it turns off again!

  Then after a few other attempts it finally loads windows.

  Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

  Hello

  Maybe the laptop stops due to a higher internal temperature.
  High temperature leads to an overheating of the questions and the laptop would be stops down automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.
  The other point is that the high temperature may affect the RAM modules.
  In this case the laptop computer may freeze or you will receive a Blue Screen Of Death.

  I had a similar problem in the past. About 6 years ago my first oldie started to overheat.
  I cleaned the cooling modules, but the questions again.
  Finally, I contacted the laptop technician in downtown, and he said that the thermal grease that is placed between the cooling module and the CPU must be renewed.

  He did, and it helped!

• Satellite A30 shuts down suddenly

  Toshiba Satellite A30-504, connected to the power adapter and with fully charged battery, turns off suddenly while I was reading something on the internet. I tried to turn it on, but she did not respond, and I thought that his mother might have broken down. As by chance, I saw the battery light flashes red for a few seconds, I took the battery of the laptop and left just with the AC adapter. It's on!

  When I put the battery, it turn on, but the battery was suddenly + blank +!

  He accused now and everything is working well, the laptop runs without the adapter sector is plugged in, but can someone tell me what is the thing that's happened? The problem is perhaps not in the battery but in something else? I don't think it was overheated because it came on after I took out the battery and I continued to work for hours after the incident... Thank you.

  > He accused now and everything is working well, the laptop runs without the adapter sector is plugged in, but can someone tell me what is the thing that's happened. The problem is perhaps not in the battery but in something else?

  I think that no one will be able to tell why this happened. Maybe there is a problem of short with electronic power supply to the Board of directors who knows I think that only a technician of the laptop could provide a response after the laptop has been verified.

  But the most important is that your laptop works fine now.
