• Satellite A30 stops when you run Norton

  Hello. I have a Satellite A30 which crashes when trying to run Norton.

  Spec: Satellite A30, Win XP Home SP1, 512 MB RAM, 3 + Ghz processor.

  We also noticed that the fan seems to be "fully enlightened", even when he's just sitting on the desktop with any of the applications that are running.

  Any ideas?

  We noticed that there was a notification for install of XP SP2, so we clicked on that. He started to install, the fan is even harder, it crashed again and now there is no notification of XP SP2!

  We are sure that this is a problem of overheating or battery, but we wonder what we can do about it.

  I hope someone can help. Thank you.
  Nath.

  Hello Nath

  As far as I know that satellite A30 is about two years old and agree to your description, I assume that the unit needs to be cleaned. I have Satellite P20, also more than two years, and for a short while I cleaned. You can't imagine how much dust was inside. I have a cat at home and I think half of the cat hair was inside.

  After cleaning, the laptop can take a breath and it works more silent. Now, I am very satisfied. I can just recommend you to do the same.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A30 seems to be overheating

  Hello. I just read the previous posts about the A30 overheating and stop. Mine did the same thing. If someone could clarify, where are the vents for me to try vaccing - they are at the back by the power cable - these look quite clean. I need to open to ACCESS them?
  If that doesn't work can not someone tell where I can go for repair, IE is there a list on the internet of the Toshiba certified service engineers?
  Thank you very much

  Hi Alison,.

  The aspiration air on the A30 grids are in the bottom of the unit just behind the battery. There are two racks, and you use the hose of vacuum cleaner on each grid.

• Tecra S3: Laptop stops due to overheating

  Whenenver I run processes of CPU on my laptop, computer base and the table heat sanctioned and the laptop stops without warning after a while.

  What can I do?

  Hi Kersten

  May I ask how long do you use this laptop? This issue was in the past?
  Mainly of overheating problems occur and are present because don t cooling modules work correctly the dust and debris inside the laptop keeps fans of rotation full implementation, this increases the temperature at the critical level and the laptop stops automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.

  So in these cases, it s advisable to check the cooling modules and clean it. Vacuuming may help, but be careful that such procedure could damage the fans!
  Then maybe you'll ask a technician or a service partner Toshiba for assistance and a professional cleaning

  Good luck

• Satellite P100 stops and then restarts

  G ' Day, my laptop starts up fine and then after a while, a few minutes to a few hours, it will instantly die without warning, then restart as if it was a new beginning. There are no errors of seizures.

  I had verified system, wiped the hard drive, changed the HDD and mem, I am runnimg XP pro.
  It is now in the bios ok, but when in windows it will shut down and restart. I don't think that this temp is a problem due to restart at 4 minutes. 3 years running fine, then this.

  Any ideas?

  If you do not have a jet of compressed air, you can use a vacuum cleaner (not the best solution to clean but better than nothing).

• Re: Satellite A30-203 - where to get the Microsoft Works 7.0

  Had to recover the Satellite A30-203 due to errors on the hard disk through recovery cd
  Now, I found that works 7.0 microsoft is not anywhere on my computer while it was preinstalled - specs says - ready-to-go-works 7.0.

  Return of any ideas where I can get it? It's somewhere on the CD of tools and utilities? Thank you!

  Hello

  I think that this demand was a part of the image of preinstalled Toshiba.
  If you want to get that back you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk, which was supplied with the laptop.

  See you soon

• Satellite A30, PC shutdown due to overheating of the CPU

  My Satellite A30 has a new problem, the PC shuts down due to overheating.
  Fans are set to Max Performance. The cooling fans are not blocked by dust.
  I think that the CPU is overheating for some reason any.
  Can someone explain what parameters can be modified to avoid this problem?
  I also saw that the other Toshiba PC needed a BIOS upgrade, it will be necessary for the A30?

  Hello David

  Your device is certainly full of dust and cannot be properly cooled. If I remember the unit has two vents on the lower part. The must be removed and cleaned properly.

  Trust me on this machine, the dust is placed behind the fans and if you look they seems to be clean, but they are not. Contact the customer Service of your country partner. The cleaning procedure takes about 20-30 minutes. I can't imagine that it will be expensive.

  Good bye

• 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

  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 A30: when the adapter is connected the battery stops charging

  Using a Satellite A30 about three years. Recent problem is that while the power adapter is plugged the battery stops in charge, the orange battery indicator turns off.

  If you look at the power management utility battery poweer bed On Line, % of discharge meter

  So he can load either, I have to turn the machine off (completely or to hibernate) then remove the power cable and reintegrate them, then the battery light turns on. When restart the battery will begin charging for a while, and then for no apparent reason in defence start.

  If left reaches 0% battery - the machine continues to operate when the power cable is connected so its power do ok, but of course starts to beep when it goes below 10%. To get it going again, I need to stop and restart etc.

  I have checked the bios and have the latest version.

  I cleaned around the outlet heat exchanger and deleted all the fluff.

  I use a generic adapter that the original does not, but as far as I can tell its working normally.

  All thoughts

  Hi Richard,

  Your problem is caused by a bad connection where the power adapter is connected to the Jack at the back of your laptop. A slight movement of the cable causes a momentary loss of contact and electronics of management power in Notepad is deceived into beleiving that the battery is no longer available, in which case when the battery goes out and the laptop will return to the battery power even if the AC adapter is connected. As you have already discovered, turn off the laptop will be all back to normal.

  I have experienced the same situation with my A30-141 and have not yet found one solution other than to resort to power off the laptop computer, but I managed to avoid the problem occurs by pinching the cable ca at the back of the laptop so that there is no risk of power do not connect the bending in order to trigger the problem in the first place. This has been a remarkable success to date, and I didn't have a problem for several months now.

  Obviously, it is not a "cure" for the problem but the frustration it causes.

  Kind regards

• 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 Pro A40 inside cleaning due to overheating problems

  Hi Forum,
  I want to clean my Satellite Pro A40 carefully inside due to overheating problems.

  Can someone provide me with a sort of manual how to open the SPA40 correctly resp. How to clean it.

  I think that indoor air to blow a few tablets will not solve the problem, there is a lot of dirt and dust inside.

  IWant to do myself, so please do not recommend you speak to a technical expert.

  Thanxx in advance...

  Hello

  > I want to do it myself, so please don't recommend me to contact a technical specialist.

  In my own opinion, generally it s not a bad suggestion if some advises to contact a technician for laptop to a radiator cleaning because the dismantling of most of the computers mobile new generation is very delicate and not easy. Mostly one or the other has no experience and in this case, it is best contact an ASP to help him try to clean the laptop and probably damage parts.
  If the warranty is valid such procedure will void the warranty

  But don t worry buddy ;) I'll try to help you as much as I can
  I have goggled a bit and found it nice [statement | http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA45/Satellite-A45-remove-hinges-1.htm] how to disassemble the Satellite A45.
  The A45 is very similar to the A40 and so pictures of the laptop must be the same.

  Step 4 (photo) and step 5 shows the dirty radiator and how to remove it.
  You do not need to disassemble the laptop full but only the radiator at the bottom of the unit cover.

  Notes; Always be careful and don't use force to remove anything ;) and you know everything you do are at your own risk

  I hope I could help. Best regards and Merry Christmas ;)

  Hello.
  Judgment of A30 satellite itself.

  Probably overheating problem, in fact, very hot when this happens.

  My concern is that the fan runs all the time, about 40% of the time, and he began very early to do.

  I never care about that, I just thought it was normal for a laptop.

  Do you think it could be something else that forces the system to a situation of overheating?
  Is it difficult to change the fan?

  Thank you and excuse my English.

  Hi, Giulio.

  This is a common situation with the SA30 and is usually caused by dust being sucked by fans and getting caught in the radiator. The solution is to suck the dust on the grids of aspiration air with a vacuum cleaner hose periodically. This ensures that sufficient air can pass from the heat sink to cool your laptop.

  Kind regards
