Satellite A30 is automatically disabled

My laptop is automatically disabled if I work permanently nearly an hour and also heat up the top (left) cooling fan.

First, I thought it was the problem of the home edition of windows XP. Then I restored the windows XP. But the result is the same.

How can I solve this problem.

Thank you
Thomas

Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model and I can't imagine there is a lot of dust inside and cooling grill is blocked with cable protection. The laptop can not be properly cooled. Because of this material can reach the maximum temperature and turns off suddenly.

The solution is the disassembly and cleaning. It can be done by the authorized service provider.

  • Satellite A30 heats and turns off automatically

    Hello
    I love my computer laptop satellite A30 with part number as PSA30E. Recently, it has developed a problem. the laptop GET closes after a bit of time if connect us the power supply external source.but the work of the laptop very well if the battery is fully charged. It is not warmed up quickly because it works with the external power supply. However I noticed that the machine gets very hot after a short time, then the pc stops automatically. is that someone can help me please...

    Hi stephanie,.

    This soundslike a case of overheating caused by the heat sink of the CPU obstruction with dust and lint sucked up by the cooling fans. You will find this described in the following link:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA35/satellite-A35-fixing-overheating.htm

    You will find that it is easier to use a vacuum cleaner pipe placed on the grids of air intake based on your laptop computer, since it is very effective and doesn't involve any dismantling of you A30.

    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 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.

    The modem uses a virtual com port. It s not a real port.
    I wonder why it usually happens after the installation of the new operating system, you must install drivers Toshiba together in the right order
    Installing the chipset utility is important

    The modem driver should do the work and you n t need to activate com ports
    Please choose the right side of the page of the Toshiba driver modem driver after installing the OS correctly. I think that's the key

  • Cannot access internet sites - Satellite A30-92

    I have a laptop Satellite A30 - 92.

    Suddenly I'm unable to access most of the internet sites. Can I use it fine at high speed and on the LAN, but using the dial up, no.
    I can dial my ISP very well, but it will not download web page. Oddly enough I can get some (but very few sites), but above all no that I looked at the Device Manager and the modem works fine. Looking at the ports I have a ltp printer port, but no com port doesn't appear.

    This could be the cause and how to fix? Thank you.
    I must say I checked the firewall and even turned off.

    Must the connection by modem specific DNS and Proxy settings? Call them and find out.

    If you are using IE, try to disable Protected Mode.

    Or maybe just try another browser such as FireFox.

  • Satellite A30: Card sound & Chipset driver problem.

    Hi all
    I'm about to get REALLY crazy! I would really appreciate if someone can help me...

    My story is:
    I lost all my CD recovery & pilot who gave me in 2004. But I had to format my pc this weekend due to many reasons of system (bugs, unable to connect to the net, etc.).
    My first step was to Toshiba site, I downloaded all kinds of drivers for Satellite A30. And I had XP Professional SP2 from my friend and installed it. But after completing all the facilities below is the result:

    (1) NO. SOUND :(

    2 points to mark on the 2 points that are a) multimedia sound controller and b) PCI Modem in Device Manager / other devices.

    (3) Chipset installation error message: Chipset Intel (r) utility installation requires platform chipsets supported by the supported operating system. Read the section of the system requirements in the Readme.txt for more information.
    So far I checked the forums my chipset has not been installed correctly, but when I try yo install the Intel chipset 895PE (csutil-sa30-xp - 5011015.zip) I downloaded download address http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com, it gives the error message and some people says to install the drivers in good order as, first install XP with SP1, and then install utilitt chipset, and then install SP2 etc... But it seems not to be easy for me...

    Really, I can repeat my FORMAT again, but in what order process...
    Thank you...

    Hello

    Just to inform that my problem has been resolved in itself :)
    I reformatted my laptop and installed new computer the original XP Pro SP2 by following the instructions.

    His problem was solved automatically, no installation utility chipset required...
    The noise problem was probably caused by lack of update Microsoft KB835221 for SP1 and KB888111 for SP2, which then was resolved with the XP of more recent origin...

    Rgrds...

  • Updated the BIOS on Satellite A30

    Hello

    I'm about to update the BIOS on my computer Toshiba Satellite A30 laptop (Service Pack 3).
    I downloaded the BIOS updated and decided to update the BIOS from Windows such as recommended on the Toshiba site.

    On the site he mentions before the BIOS upgrade, please ensure the following:

    Laptop BIOS update:

    Before upgrading the BIOS level, please do the following:
    -Portable is in stand-alone mode.
    -Laptop is plugged into the mains.
    -Laptop computer must be in boot mode and not recovery mode.
    -Remove all PC cards.

    1 Windows based BIOS update:
    1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
    2. ensure that all open files are saved and all applications are closed.
    3 run the *.exe extracted to the temporary folder. Follow the instructions on the screen.
    4. the BIOS update will be done automatically.
    5. after a few minutes, the computer will restart automatically.

    I'm not sure of what he means by laptop computer must be in boot mode and not recovery mode

    What is the startup mode and how to fix my laptop in this mode?
    Can't I just run the file downloaded from my office?

    Thank you;

    As mentioned by Garrett; You must download the package from the BIOS, then unzip it and then you can run the exe file.
    Usually it s no matter where the package was decompressed!

  • 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 A30: random suddenly shut down

    Hi everyone, I finally had a problem on my laptop. While it is a bit of effort (the CPU works 80-100%) for 2 months it suddenly stop after a few seconds. He has worked for over 2 years and now I do not understand the reason for this strange problem. First of all I don't know if it's a hardware problem or a software one.
    Please give me some advice cause I have yet to find any real solution.

    Thank you very much

    Gianni (Italy)

    If you check this forum you will find a wide range of similar subjects and this problem is not strange. The sudden stop is mainly caused by overheating. Satellite A30 and Satellite 1900 are older units, and in my opinion, it is a time for cleaning.

    Of course, the CPU of high activity cannot be properly cleaned and machine stops automatically before the CPU or other pieces of equipment can be damaged.

  • Satellite A30 hibernation and activation problems

  • Upgrading the Bios on Satellite A30

    Can someone tell me please how can I update my bios apparently Toshiba seem to be wrong. OM my Satellite A30 using XP Pro I started having the blue screen everytime I turn on and he told me that there is something missing or incorrect in the Bios and it must be upgraded. I downloaded the correct update of Toshiba on my desktop Pc and followed the instructions which are

    Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.

    Insert a 1.44 MB diskette formatted in the floppy drive.

    Run the *.exe extracted to the temporary folder. Follow the instructions on the screen. A BIOS update diskette will be generated.

    Make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector.

    Turn off the laptop.

    Place the floppy disk containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy drive.

    Turn on the laptop with the F12 key.

    The BIOS boot menu appears. Select 'Removable Device', 'USB Floppy Drive' or the diskette symbol using arrow keys. Press "enter".

    Notepad starts from the BIOS upgrade diskette.

    The BIOS update will automatically launch.

    After a few minutes, as the laptop turns off automatically, remove the disk and do a restart. If it does not then remove the disk and turn off the system and return to restart the laptop.

    I did the first parts of the above, but when I try and run the file to a floppy disk on my desktop, the program seems to think that I am trying to upgrade the bios on this machine and of course, I get an error message and am not able to create a floppy disk. Can someone please?

    Hello

    so, this BIOS is a bios "Windows update". This means that the Bios will be updated in windows and not with a floppy disk. I don't know why toshiba is to give such instructions, but I believe that they didn t update since these new BIOS instructions.

    What version of Bios you downloaded? It should be the version 1.80. In the case of this version, just unpack the file in a folder in the zip and run it. They deposit with unzip itself C:\Windows\Temp\Winphlash and run the bios update procedure.

    So, please try again and give me a 'big picture on your situation":)

  • Satellite A30 - cannot set up the binding wireless modem

    Hello
    I have a satellite a30. I just upgraded to broadband and cannot configure the WiFi wizzard. the modem is working perfectly thanks to threads, but cannot set up wireless despite my efforts! Please can someone help?
    see you soon
    Claire

    Hello

    What's the problem?
    You are not able to see the thread or what?

    Are you sure of the laptop and built-in wireless network card?

    Remember that the WiFi card is optional on the Satellite A30 and not all models includes the Wlan miniPCI card
    Thanks for posting more details!

    PS; If the laptop supports a WLan card internal, you should check only that steps;

    -Check if the WLan adapter is enabled on the laptop. Activate the switch on the side of the laptop and the FN + F8 key combination!
    -Check if the windows own WLan configuration is marked
    -Be sure that you use the right WLan encryption and whether encryption is supported by WLan modem (router) and wireless network card
    -Check if the standard 802.11 WiFi, B or G is accompanied by WLan modem (router) and wireless network card
    -Make sure that the router MAC filtering option has been disabled!

    As you can see all of these options are important to connect to the wireless LAN.
