Satellite L350D - overheated, motherboard fade

Hello
I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L350D, I got a year ago when it overheated and stopped. It would not start, and I sent it to a technician of will be checked. According to the technician he had overheated and the motherboard is melted. It was out of warranty and the guy was going to fix it with a new motherboard for £100.

Does this sound right? It will be ok with a new motherboard or would I better get a new laptop?

Thank you

Hello

First of all, I think it's important to know why it has overheated. Second, I'm not very familiar with your laptop, but I don't think you can find a new motherboard for it for 100pounds.
Why do you have only 1 year warranty? For about 2 years, I know that they were supposed to offer minimum 2 years warranty.
If you can fix it for 100 pounds so it is not worth investing in a new. Only if you opt for an upgrade.

Good luck!

  • Overheating issued with newly installed Windows 7 x 64-Satellite L350D - 10Z

    I just upgraded from vista to Windows 7 x 64 on my laptop Satellite L350D 10Z.
    Unfortunaly I have had overheating issues since.

    The computer began to stop himself after awhile of use, I downloaded speedfan and discovered that the cell was operating at 95 degrees Celsius while playing games, I chose in speedfan that fans would go to 100% at all times

    I also downloaded the latest BIOS update but I still read temperatures ranging from 75 to 85 degrees Celsius, the laptop has stopped to close itself to overheat, but it still don't feel safe.

    Is this a known issue?
    What can I do keep the temperature down?

    Hello

    The temperature seems to be too high and this is the reason why your laptop stops automatically.
    You said that what happens during the game
    During games all appliances are running with maximum performance and create a lot of heat dissipation

    Clock graphics Toshiba down driver the GPU if a threshold has been reached
    Other drivers don't support this overheating of procreation.
    Therefore, you should use the Toshiba graphics card driver!
    Other drivers may be used but only at your own risk!

    In addition, it must ensure that the unique cooling grids are dust-free and fresh air could circulate properly never use the laptop on the lap, couch or bet that it would close the vents and could lead to overheating!

  • Satellite L350D-213 repeated overheating and shuts down

    Hello

    Recently had problems with my Toshiba laptop Satellite L350D-213 of the he repeated overheating and if off, any suggestions as to prevent overheating would be greatly appreciated

    Hello

    There is a lot of advice about the overheating problem.
    First the laptop stops automatically to avoid that the pieces of equipment from damage, the higher temperature may affect parts and this is the reason why the laptop stops.

    Why the temperature is too high?
    Well, maybe the cooling modules does not t run with the best performance because of the dust and debris inside the modules?
    It is mainly the reason why fans do not twist and cannot cool the laptop.

    I recommend to check this and remove dust and debris from cooling vents using a jet of compressed air.

    I do from time to time, and it helps to clean the fans

  • Satellite L350D - update ATI display drivers hangs

    I tried to update my drivers to view the ATI/AMD Catalyst site because I'm trying to get better performance with 3D games and others. Toshiba USA website does not update display driver at the time for ATI radeon 3100 (on LAPTOP) because the product is discontinued. (I got it less then a year to the Canada..) So I went to the AMD and tried to install Catalyst 10.2 version.
    At the time I was running ATI Catalyst Control Center, but with a version of the microsoft 6.4.1 driver or such on Vista 64 - Edition home premium

    I've lost hours trying to follow the directions to the letter, but I got a total computer failure. I had to use the restore point to fix. I started with the 7.15.0010.0096 driver version, and after the restoration automatic, now I have the 8.479.1.4000 version and it shows microsoft in the name of the driver... probably because the update was fixed to look in one place only... so always tell my drivers are UP to DATE, when I tried to update a driver on my pc. In any case, the result is that I have no. MORE Catalyst center and I'm still using an old driver.

    I just see ATI Catalyst last bundle - with display drivers 11.2 version? But it says that I should check for Toshiba laptops, with support OEM...

    My question is: can I install the new center of ATI Catalyst + drivers on my Satellite L350D - Vista 64 - 3Gz - a lot of spare disk space with AMD Athlon X 2 dual-core QL-60?

    Or will kill my computer again?
    The view control center was really nice to have!

    Hi mate

    Usually, you use the page to Toshiba graphics cards drivers.
    These drivers support a GPU overheating protection, and this is the main reason why you should use this driver.

    I read here in the forum that the drivers of ATI page don t support this overheating protection and so the use of these drivers is at your own risk
    The installation of these drivers is usually possible only in Device Manager.
    This means that if you want to install the update, then you must go to the Device Manager and have to force windows choose driver graphics dll and inf files.

    Simply said; Save the package of drivers on the HARD drive. Then go to Device Manager, choose graphics card, click Update, and then click Advanced installation, and then point to the driver files and then force windows to accept this

  • Re: Satellite L350D-131 keeps power off during use

    I got my Satellite L350D-131 28 days and it's been great, but on the last 48 hours I tried to add music to my laptop for when I go to college next week.
    But he keeps turn off use environment, there is no consistency about why it's power off.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    It is new laptop and something like that should not happen under normal circumstances.
    The question is how you use your laptop. If the laptop is placed on the bed and the cooling fan is blocked I guess this happens due to overheating.

    The laptop is placed on the desktop when this happens?
    Are you sure that the underside cooling fan is not blocked somehow?

    I think you're talking about the LAN port and connection to the local network.
    I have no idea of what you want to do, but if you want to connect the laptop to the internet, then you must use a router/modem. The laptop must be connected to the router that is configured previously.

  • Questions about the record HDD Recovery - Satellite L350D

    Hello everyone!

    I have a Satellite L350D with Windows Vista.
    I'm in my mind to reinstall.
    All my data from the two partitions are saved with the exception of a folder on my drive E Data "HDDRecovery" who shouldn't be modyfied or deleted, or whatever.

    I wonder if all the data are removed from the hard disk due to formatting, how does appear that this same folder HDDRecovery remains safe on the hard drive?
    Or is that the hard drive is not really formatted and data on my hard drive are always safe and hidden?

    Thank you for answers!

    Hello

    I'll try to explain how it works.

    Original Toshiba designed for your laptop recovery image is recorded on the second partition in the file called HDDRecovery. This image should be used if you want to install OS and have the original state factory.

    For this installation, you can use this recovery image of the second partition or by using the recovery DVD. It is recommended to everyone to create this recovery DVDs. Have you created?

    If you use recovery DVD the whole HARD disk will be formatted and all data stored thereon will be removed.
    If you start the HARD drive recovery process only C partition is removed. This folder HDDRecovery is important if you only want to use HARD drive recovery facility. When you want to use the DVD only you can remove (I do not recommend you to do).

    I hope I could help a little, but if you have any other questions please let us know.

  • Prozessor Exchange on Satellite L350D - 20 p

    Hello
    The processor of my Satellite L350D - 20 p
    NO 99146058Q-series
    is defective.
    Please which processors can be used for this laptop?

    I searched a lot, apparently, there is this laptop in different versions.
    I don't know what are the processors can be used.

    Thanks for the help: Schwenk

    Hello

    The replacement of the CPU is delicate!
    I can tell you a few facts:

    Laptop manufactures don't support upgrade CPU because of serious reasons.
    But in some cases the CPU would be possible in the case of the chipset and BIOS support the new processor.
    The model L350D - 20 p was equipped with a Dual-Core AMD Athlon X 2 processor. In this case, you can only use the AMD CPUS, Intel processors would not work.

    What AMD processor could be used?
    To be honest I n know and I guess no one can tell you exactly what AMD processors work with certainty due to the compatibility of the BIOS.

    But you should absolutely consult AMD processors, which are part of the same family.

    However, I do not recommend to do a CPU upgrade. Why? Because you won't see a performance gain. The performance increase is not noticeable.

    But you would notice performance upgrade using SSD drive instead of the HARD disk.
    I did these updates on my laptop and was very surprised by the performance gain.

  • Satellite L350D works for a few minutes and then stop completely

    Hi all!

    I'm having a weird problem with my laptop Satellite L350D-216
    I have used for a long time in a row and is starting to show some strange vertical lines on the screen and the kind of activity let go and then it went completely black
    Since then if I disconnect and leave it for a few hours switches normally and work for 5/10 minutes and turns black again.
    It happens after I worked on it for about 20 hours straight or Yes (can be linked)

    What I tried:
    -Turn on with battery only
    -Turn on only with the ca
    -Remove all and to hold off key for 1 min and then try again the two above

    When it comes on everything seems to work 100% without problem but don't lasts no more than 10 minutes as I said

    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    I can't say for sure, but the problem may be material high temperature. Satellite L350D is not the latest model cell phone and if you use enough difficult I guess laptop is full of dust and cannot be properly cooled.

    Maybe the laptop needs to be cleaned.
    > When it lights up everything seems to be working 100% without problem, but does not last more than 10 minutes as I said
    One more thing: do the quick test. Start your laptop and enter the BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and check if the same thing will happen again.

    Please post comments.

  • A Wi - Fi connection does not work on my Satellite L350D

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L350D with Vista 32 bit.
    After reinstalling, it s impossible to connect via Wi - Fi. With cable, connect properly.
    Everything seems to be ok.
    The Wi - Fi switch is active and the orange light comes on.
    Pressing Fn and F8 Wi - Fi will appear as active.
    The network card is a Realtek RTL8187B. Everything seems ok with it too.

    Check in the Control Panel, Device Manager, it shows that the adapter works fine.
    I tried to disable and enable, resettlement and the driver update.
    Could not get the Wi - Fi works fine.

    I remember when I got the laptop again, I got the same problem. I solved it the call to the Toshiba in-kind service and they gave me the solution, but now I can´t do it because the computer is not under warranty.

    Can someone help me?
    Thank you

    Your L30D detect your WLAN? Okay, I understand that the material is OK and active WLAN but I would like to know if your laptop can detect any WLAN or not.

    Have you tried to reboot your router? Have you tested it with a few other WLAN?

    To be honest, it's really strange. Maybe stupid question now but is WLAN option in your router ON?
