Satellite A60-122 turns off immediately

Hi there, my 2.5 year satellite SA60-122 turns off no aparent reason.
Sometimes after 10 minutes and sometimes after 3 hours.

Why o why?

Does anyone have an idea?

Thnx a lot.

Hello

you are somewhat familiar with computers? If not, I suggest you bring your machine to a local service partner (http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?subs=tais)
If Yes, then firstly make a few hardwaretests. You can make them with tools like "Memtest86" for memory or "Prime95" for CPU and RAM.
This software is on a windows live cd for computer-maintenance as the UBCD4Win (Ultimate Boot CD for Windows) which contains a lot of useful tools and diagnostic programs.
Here´s a link:
www.UBCD4Win.com

Other means can be:
Clean the CPU fan, try to remove the RAM (maybe), maybe the power adapter is defective or maybe the battery.
It s a little more difficult to find these things, but often it s really good to use this live-cd-system and check the system.

So, try it (or not :)) and give some information about what happened, maybe to give more detailed information about the behavior of the machine.)

Welcome them

  • Satellite A60-712 - turn off after 2-3 seconds

    Hello everyone.

    I am trying to fix this Satellite A60-712; He came to me without feeder, but I found a compatible and it seems to work: CC in LED lights up and the battery starts to charge.

    My problem is that this starts Mobile for awhile, radiator begins to turn, all the lights are normally, but, all of a sudden everything turns off after 2-3 seconds. I have observed that this machine has only one slot of free RAM and noted that it has integrated the module memory motherboard; that would be the problem? Or another reason?

    Could someone help me?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    > it came to me without feeder, but I found a compatible
    Can you please test it with a Toshiba original AC/DC adapter? The same thing is happening?

    If the laptop has already integrated memory motherboard there is no problem. Alternatively, you can use the laptop without additional RAM module.

    In the worst cases, you need professional help of an authorized service provider. :(

  • Satellite A60 is turned off by itself

    Hi all
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A60, and she herself is turned off. I had this problem 2 years ago and had to change the hard drive with the disk driver, but was covered by my warranty. It has been resolved for 7 months, but back. Now the same problem is more frequent, especially in the last days.
    Another thing, whenever I move it to another room (you have to walk on the stairs, so maybe something is moving, or as the other room is usually really hot), I have this problem more frequently.

    I don't know that it's an overheating problem! Sometimes it's really hot.

    I opened it to check if the fans (there are 2 large and the other small) are working well and they seem to be.
    When we keep the keyboard not attached, it works perfectly for hours, however, as soon as I attach, it get overheated and shut down.

    I'm running out of ideas and to consider difficulty will cost you a huge amount of money, and to be honest, I'm not sure that it be resolved.

    In cars, there is a kind of thermometer, which could be the temperature. I was wondering it's the same in the laptop, if it is also in cars, according to the room temperature, and if it is what creates this problem.

    Everything has any suspicion what should I do?

    Thank you.
    Nassim

    Hello

    Since the opening of you´ve I guess that you didn t took a glance to the fat of cooling on the CPU. In your case, I would do the following:

    Looking for someone who is very familiar with laptops or laptop technician. Ask him to replace the fat of cooling on your CPU and graphics card.
    The problem should be solved by replacing this cooling fats and clean the fans of dust and debris.

    The machine should be run after all the action without any problem.

  • Satellite A60-122: screen does not work - rest black

    Hello!!

    Can someone help me please on a screen problem? I have a Toshiba Satellite A60-122 and when I turn it on the screen does not work. It remains black as if the power of the laptop was turned off. I tried to connect the laptop to an external monitor, but it still does not work. I have no more ideas of what can do to make it work.

    I already told to format the pc with the cd of restoration but without an image, it is impossible to do anything...
    Thank you

    Isabel

    Hello Isabel

    I'm not an expert, but if there is no image on LCD internal display and the external monitor, I assume that there is a problem with the graphics card. I think you should contact the customer Service of your country partner and let check the device.

    I also hope that the warranty is still valid and if something needs to be replaced they will do it for free.

    Bye and let us know if you have more information about it.

  • Error on the screen and blue ati2dvag.dll - Satellite A60-122

    Hello
    I have problems with the ati device driver. I have ati mobility radeon 7000 igp and it keeps send me errors. Either the monitor turns blue, warning of the problem caused by ati2dvag.dll and said it caused a loop infinit or resolution of the screen turns into 16 bits and the mouse becomes very slow.
    When I send the error report, tells using windows to look for a driver updated in windows update, but there is not.
    I also noticed that the laptop overheats and sometimes, especially when I look at DVD turns off by itself. I don't know if these problems are related in some way, but they are certainly my only issues with my laptop.
    Thank you
    Isabel

    Toshiba Satellite A60-122

    Try to connect the external monitor, and please use the FN + F5 keyboard shortcut.
    Maybe you'll be able to see something on the screen.
    If this isn't the case, using ASP is therefore absolutely essential.

  • Satellite M60/M55: Turns off after power loss

    Reposting because the original threads are locked.

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=15285&MessageID=55746
    My M60 sometimes turns off immediately after unplugging the power supply (AC power or plug the laptop CC), instead of out on the battery even though the battery is fully charged.
    The battery is OK & the laptop starts regularly on the battery after pressing the on switch.
    The Toshiba Power Saver seems to work OK & I have the latest version of the BIOS.
    I always save my work before unplugging, but again, I do not like this behavior & would appreciate some good advice.

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19092
    Satellite M55 turns off by unplugging the power cable to unplug my laptop making rather that to the battery, my laptop will often simply turn off even though the battery is fully charged. Other time things work as it should.

    I had the motherboard replaced for another reason and was quite surprised to notice the problem after a replacement (but without reinstalling OS).
    The main suspect is the TPS and its pilot; A few months ago, a new version is released the Toshiba support site for M60 (although file dates are not fresh, and I think that I have installed this version earlier).

    So, I removed the GST and the GST pilot. I tried several times and it didn't happen again. Not even when I reinstalled the.

    During the test, I have disabled the HD write cache to avoid file corruption problems (but this slows down HD operation, particularly of hibernation).
    I don't know if it works because also earlier the computer would be closed only occasionally, not all the time. But this may be a clue in case you have this problem. If you do, please test and report the result, no matter what the result is.

    What to say dude. The problem is that this problem occurs ONLY occasionally and so it's not easy to find the real reason for these cases.

    However, I would try to give some useful advice, but first of all, it would be useful to know how old your battery.
    Fact is that batteries old and stressed loose clean performance very quickly.
    My battery is about 3 years and my laptop running on battery for 10-20 seconds even if it s fully charged. The performance is simple very low!

    On the other hand the problem could be related to faulty electronic power to the Board of Directors
    As you can see it's not easy to tell what's exactly wrong and as already suggested in other threads (locked), you should ask a technician for a control of the laptop.
    The guy could run diagnostics tests and can locate the fault.

  • Satellite 2430-S255 turns off during playback of video clips

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite 2430-s255 turns off 5 minutes every time I play streaming video clips to web sites using Windows Media Player version 10.0. I have uninstall the version 10 and used version 9, but there is no difference. Computer has 512 meg of memory and 10 GB of additional space on the hard drive.

    There is no problem when I play DVD using the same software.

    Toshiba support has been telling me that cpu is working hard and it heats up because of this problem. I used the fan to circulate the air, but the computer still shuts off.

    Can help.

    Christiane

    HI Fanny,.

    Any graphic activity will tend to make your laptop run more hot and therefore sufficient cooling.

    Make sure that your airway through the CPU radiator is not clogged with dust and debris (a lot of discussions in this forum about this) and also ensure that there is sufficient air under your laptop knife get in the fan air vents.

    Model: CD-ROM unit
    Manufacturer: (Standard CD-ROM units)
    Measures to be taken: after the installation of Windows Vista, this feature will not work. To get the latest driver, go to the website of the manufacturer of the device or contact your dealer.

    Is it true that the drive does not at all with Microsoft Windows Vista?

    If so, how can I fix?
    Thank you.

    I n t have A60, but I can't believe this. Side using the standard Microsoft driver and I really don't see any reason why your ODD shouldn't work.

    Why you test it n t? Back up all your data and install the version of 30 days to see how it can manage your laptop with Windows Vista. I did it with my Satellite M70 well that my laptop has no Vista capable sticker.

  • My Satellite L555-L11 turns off suddenly very

    Hello
    My satellite L555 L11 turns off very suddenly. It seems that it s because of the heat, as when it arrives, I put my hand under the laptop and feel a too high temperature.
    my laptop is 5 years
    What should I do?
    thx for you answer

    I think your laptop is quite full of dust and I can imagine that cooling rack is blocked so that your laptop is unable to catch his breath.

    Believe me, that cleaning can help. Best thing you can do is professional cleaning. In this case the laptop must be disassembled. Otherwise, you can buy compressed air and try to clean it.

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse with my Satellite A60-122 issue

    Hi there;
    I'm a new user in this forum and this is my situation:

    I bought a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer with a USB Bluetooth adapter. When I plug the Bluetooth adapter to one of my four USB ports, bluetooth connection seems fine. However, I can't work with my new mouse. I have try all this on a Mac computer and mouse everything goes perfectly. I have not yet installed the driver! I don't know what is happening. I had installed the driver several times and it seems OK. DC when I search the mouse over the icon of bluetooth device, I see him there. However, the mouse does not work and when I open again the icon of bluetooth device, I can't see the connection bluetooth mouse more.

    My question was already posted by Sorin11 (08.12.05), and I would like to know if today, hopefully there is a solution to this problem of bluetooth.

    Thank you
    Antonio

    Hello

    Well, the Satellite A60-122 has no Bluetooth. In this case, you will need to use the 3rd Bluetooth driver and the device.
    In addition, the Mac has a completely different operating system and you can not compare the two devices.
    Unfortunately, I can't give you a correct answer, why this problem occurs. You should check if you are using the correct drivers. You should especially drivers for Windows OS.
    In my opinion, you should ask the manufacturers of the ItelliMouse for the support.

  • Satellite A60-157 - turns itself off!

    I bought this in January and he did nothing to trouble. the Touchpad no longer works so I have to use a usb mouse, but that's not the problam!

    Whenever I try to burn a dvd that it turns off by itself!

    It has a Pentium 4, 448 MB of ram and a disk hard 80gig.

    If anyone can help me solve this problam I have burning, I would be very very happy.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Hello

    If the touchpad doesn't work, you need to reinstall the driver. Please visit the site of the new updates. In addition, if your laptop turns off without reason it could be an overheating problem. In this case, you must give the unit for service partner. If the valid mandate still use it.

    On the other side, it could be a problem of burning software. Well try you to deactivate the option automatically reboot in startup and recovery.
    That you can find in the System-> Advanced-> startup and recovery

    You can also retrieve you wit the OS recovery CD.

  • Satellite Pro L650 turns off after start; DC In and Power LEDs blink on stop

    A friend Satellite Pro L650 having worked well until yesterday, all of a sudden turned itself off. Now, at startup, it lights up normally for about 10-15 seconds before turning off suddenly. Turned off, the DC in white/blue LED and the orange Power LED Flash on a broad set of intervals of approximately one second. This extinction happens if I leave Windows or press F2 to enter the BIOS setup.

    I guess this blinking is intended to serve as a kind of diagnostic code, but I have yet to track down what it means. Can anyone help?

    To avoid confusion, power without the product stack the same, sudden stop experience, except the two LEDs remain solidly lit this time. With or without battery, trying to turn on again immediately after that a shutdown produced no response at all. Remove the power cable and immediately it reconnect again and turn then produced a brutal power off, but in less than 5 seconds. More wait between attempts to market seems to give a little longer powered on State, but without fault, the machine turns off just suddenly. With its short time 'turned on' we are talking, there cannot be any kind of thermal protection?

    I had an old Satellite L450D lying around that uses coincidentally the same AC PA-1750 adapter, but use it made no difference. Of course, the battery does not have the L650!

    The only previous numbers, that I am aware of this machine have been intermittent case of Windows reporting "Plugged in, not charging", but as my friend use it exclusively on the network, it was not a problem.

    Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated...

  • Satellite M200 screen turns off after that start & battery does not charge

    Hello, I am from Jakarta, Indonesia
    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite M200 Notebook (running Windows 7 Home Premium)

    After I press the power button to the top of my laptop, it works fine display BIOS and Windows startup screen.
    but after that my monitor off all of a sudden when Windows is supposed to show the login screen.

    Sometimes, the monitor doesn't turn off, but shows a lower resolution (I don't know exactly what resolution, 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, i use maybe 1280 x 800)
    so the only thing I can do is, press the power button to stop bad then press power again turns on, my monitor works normally
    try to stop and then turn on again in a few hours later, problems still comes once.

    from the moment where I install Windows 7, I use 8.15.10.1930 version of the driver (downloaded from Download Center of Intel, which included Assistant TV Intel)
    2 days ago, my friend told me that I should install the driver from the Toshiba site support, so I went to csd.toshiba.com and download the 8.15.10.1825 version of this site (which is not included Assistant TV Intel)

    my monitor works normally after I installed the driver I of csd.toshiba.com, so I think that the problem because the Intel TV Wizard somehow messed with my laptop. But this morning this problem once again, my turns just monitor suddenly...

    In addition, this problem seems to be my battery was unable to recharge, my completely reloaded Windows shows, but when I plugged my AC adapter,
    There are 15-20 minutes before my laptop turns off automatically

    Three months ago, I just brought my laptop to the local Service Center of Toshiba and bought the new motherboard to replace my old mobo (which have a VGA problem too!)
    Is there something I can do (related to Windows or driver/software) or I can bring my notebook at the center of service again?
    are they somehow an incorrect wiring when replacing my motherboard?
    and am I need to replace my battery too?

    I use this laptop for about a year and a half and there is nothing wrong with my battery before replacing the motherboard

    any help would be appreciated :D

    Hello

    Talk about your screen, the a graphics driver causes this malfunction with resolution and turn off. Go to the page of the toshiba driver and download the correct Vga driver for your model. I see, you are running Windows 7, if there is no driver for win7, try the vista driver.
    On your power supply, you have used for the year and a half and he is released in 20 minutes, there is nothing strange. It's standard for power supply operating period, need to be replaced. Just to be sure, you can check with a new battery. You will see that the trick works as expected.

    I think something with your hardware is not OK because this logo lights up at any time, and if it doesn't then you should find the nearest [Authorized Service Partner | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT] and bring your machine.
