Satellite A30 cannot start after cleaning the heatsink

I have a problem with my sat a30. It lights for 5 seconds then goes automatically off and on again for 5 times, before finally shutting down completely. all this began after I cleaned the heatsink. can you give me some advice for what to do with this problem?

Hello

This path is not easy to say what is the problem, because, who know what did you exactly and how. As you know do something like that on your own is always risky.

Are there signs of life of the cooling fan? AFAIK the CPU becomes very hot in just seconds after the start, and I presume that CPU is not cooled properly and because of this unit turns off.

  • Satellite A30 554: start and stop the question automatically

    After about a year of use my computer laptop (Satellite A30 554) started having problems with the starter. Quite often when I turn it on cooler starts working and the LEDs are showing that the computer is on, but the screen remains black. Sometimes, I need to turn off the PC and on a couple of times so that he can start to begin. What is the reason for this and can it be resolved?

    Once I had a problem with this computer off by itself while working, which was not caused by a virus. Some people advised me to vacuum clean :) under cooler. I did and it helped.

    The problem was supposed to be linked to the dust on the heatsink, which does not allow that it works correctly. The current problem also connectable to the cooler, or is - it a motherboard problem?

    Hello

    Generally speaking, if it starts and does even not initializing the monitor, or starts and turns off immediately, it could be the motherboard. It helps to remove each device at a time and try to start the computer. Sometimes when the parts become defective they still affect the ability to start. If, after removing all devices, that the problem persists, then your motherboard is faulty and must be replaced. Hope that fix you the problem.

  • Satellite U940 - cannot start or access the BIOS settings

    I try to help with a HARD on a U940 disk failure. The laptop still works a failure has been (almost certainly) the entire HARD disk.

    I have a new HARD drive in place but I'm unable to access BIOS, and the machine does not start of course. Just a black screen while the computer is trying to do something...

    • Then put the F2 on does not work
    • Then put the F12 on does not work
    • Then put the ESC on does not work
    • Out the battery did not work
    • Out the battery and the power cord and the discharge by pressing the power button / stop for 60 seconds, did not work.

    I can't get to the BIOS. In my view, that the machine was based on the Intel hybrid disc stuff using the DDI in RAID before and this quick book has been activated. Of course, I am unable to clean the machine to stop more since I can't start up with the old drive.

    What I really want to do, is to put everything back. Get rid of any RAID stuff and put Windows on the new HARD drive. Any ideas how I can get into the BIOS to move all of the RAID or FastBoot stuff?

    Here another thread about the installation of the SATA drivers!
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

    You must include the * Intel Matrix Storage Manager * during the XP installation process.
    As far as I know you have to press the F6 key to include the external USB FDD drive driver.
    Once you have included the SATA driver * DON T format the drive HARD * or create all partitions because that would erase the included driver!

    Another possibility to include the SATA drivers is the use of the * software to nLite.
    By using this software, you could include the SATA driver in the new created XP CD.
    And then you could boot from the new CD.

    > no initialization of SPARCFichiers of hard disk
    > can not load hard drive
    > Insert systemdisk and press a key

    This error message appears because you didn't boot from the bootable CD and/or the operating system has not been installed on the HARD drive and the laptop I wanted to boot from the HARD drive.

  • Satellite A30 - no sound after installing the audio driver

    I've updated the audio driver on my laptop A30 today on the Toshiba site with download of Realtek Semiconductor Corporation, and now the sound does not work. It's my single stereo so I feel really bad. The original driver discs are stored and I'm not very techie so help please...

    Thanks a lot for your time, Phill

    Hi Phill,

    First of all, I would like to check the sound settings in the control panel to make sure that none of them are extinguished, and that "dumb" is not checked. Also check that the volume on the side of your A30 control is enough at full volume.

    In the case where everything is set correctly, I would then reload the driver Realtek of the utility CD and tools of Toshiba. If you do not have access to the CD then you can restore the driver to its original state by selecting the audio device in Device Manager"and roll back driver it.

    If all else fails you should be able to 'restore' your system from the last point before your installation of the new driver restore.

  • Re: Satellite A30 - battery starts to unload if the power is connected

    Hi all

    My Toshiba laptop Satellite A30-871 began to discharge the battery while the power is connected (the LED shows that AC is connected but laptop consumes the battery power instead of loading battery and the use of current alternative). When the laptop achieved 0% battery turns off. Remove the power plug and reconnect do not resolve the problem, while the computer is turned on, only computer shutdown will begin the battery takes over. Which means that I can use portable so that battery retains some powers. Sometimes, when the laptop is turned off and the battery is charging, battery charging LED starts to blink and I have to remove the power plug and plug back.

    I don "t think it's a bad power connector because the witness indicates the power is connected.

    I wonder if anyone has a solution for me.

    Kind regards
    Nova

    Hello

    Just a question; does the laptop functions and using only the AC adapter (without the battery)?

    If Yes, then I guess that the problem might be related to battery failure.
    Maybe a new battery could solve this problem, but as you know this is just a suggestion

  • Mac cannot start after el captain

    Cannot start after updating mac

    Safe Mode boot removes the system caches that can help after an OS X day or level.

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

  • Satellite A30 still crashes after the cleaning of the fans

    Dear all,

    I cleaned the radiator and fans as suggested by many positions included the "filter felt' and removed. Since then, my A30 runs a lot cooler and fans light up less often. But, I still have these random crashes and restarts. I checked the event log and found the following STARTING or SYSTEM STARTUP DRIVER (S) FOLLOWING failed to LOAD message:
    d_kmd. Can someone give me some tips on solving this problem?

    Hello

    For me, this looks like a software malfunction. In my opinion the best way is to retrieve the entire operating system. All drivers and registry entries should return load correctly.
    Of course, you should make a backup of your important and necessary and data files.

  • Satellite A100 - 510 PSAA2E cannot start - nothing on the screen

    Hello

    I had Satellite A100-510 (PSAA2E) since May 2006.
    2 weeks before, when I tried to switch the fans started spinning and the LED lit and after about 2 seconds, it restarts without showing anything on the screen.

    There is also no beeps or anything.

    I tried almost everything: remove the hard drive, screen, wireless card, dvd player, change the RAM between the slots...
    It makes no difference if.

    So I think it's a problem of memory or the motherboard is dead, what do you think?

    > So I think it's a problem of memory or the motherboard is dead, what do you think?
    Yes, the mentioned parts could cause this problem

    But it would be the worst case and you must contact the Toshiba ASP for more details

    Before that you would get in contact with ASP, I recommend you try this:

    -Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter.
    -Wait 30-60 minutes
    -Bring the two parties together and try to turn on the laptop

  • Satellite A30: HDD size after the recovery procedure and Defrag

    I have a Satellite A30 and just did a complete reinstall from the recovery of the product disks. My question relates to the amount of disk space hard should be resumed aftre reinstall it.
    My hard drive is 4.95 full GB according to the procedure that is much higher than I expected.

    Also, after reviewing the reader with Defragmenter I seem to have twice taken up training with Greens, unmovable files like Blue contiguous files. Unmovable files is there and if not how to I remove them?

    It's where I guess that extra hard disk space is lost when it is lost?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's not easy to say exactly how much space should be taken after the recovery procedure.
    I have so much that I know on the recovery CD, you will find the whole operating system Windows XP, driver Toshiba and utilities as well as additional software like OneNote, WinDVD, etc.
    This additional software could take as much space on the disk outside the OS.

    Blue not moveable files belong to the Windows operating system, and as a result, the files are placed together.
