Satellite L40 breaks down after 5-10 minutes and will not return

I hope someone can help

I have a toshiba Satellite L40. It has not been used for a while, but I need to have stuff on it.
Put it on yesterday and then crashed after 10 minutes and would not go back
.the same thing happened today.

I took out the battery and tried just to power / and vice versa, but no joy.
I'm not very technical was so had no idea what to try next.

Hello

If I understand your question, the unit stopped automatically.
Such judgment may be related to high temperatures inside the laptop.

L40 series is a bit old and probably the cooling vents and grilles are obstructed by dust.
Try to remove the dust using a jet of compressed air. Generally, this lets get removed dust and it helps to keep the temperature low.

Of course, this procedure would only if the problem is related to high temperatures.
In the case of the laptop shuts down for other reasons, this workaround would be useless

You said you need to get something from him in this case you could remove the internal HARD disk and could connect to another laptop computer through SATA to USB controller.

    I have to wait about an hour and then I the starts again, but it works for a few minutes and stops again!

    Hello

    From your description, I think your device overheat and go down because he cannot be cooled properly. P 10 satellite is older and it's time to clean up. You can't imagine how much dust inside the unit you will find.

    I put t know how are you familiar with this, but if you have no experience don t do it alone.

  • Satellite L40 don't stop with power connected and is not in sleep mode

    Hello world. I hope someone can help me. Basically, there are two problems: one with judgment of the laptop (Satellite L40 - 17U (Vista 32 bit Home Premium SP1)) down when power is connected and the other with closing the lid and put it to sleep.

    1. in recent weeks, it all of a sudden won't stop, whenever power is connected. When it's on battery, it will stop. When the power is connected, and I try to stop, it seems that it closed down (all activity stops and the led goes off) for about 1 or 2 seconds, then it goes back.

    2. when I close the lid (all settings in Vista are set to put the laptop in a State of 'sleep' when the lid is closed), the laptop enters a State where it cannot be recovered by stopping by pressing the power button for 10 seconds to close completely. When closing the cover, only the battery LED continues to Flash orange (the way it should be), but apparently the laptop keeps consuming power, because when I restart later (first having to close as described above) tends to be quite an empty battery as it was before the next redΘmarrage it (like go from 100% to 65% in 30 minutes as "standby mode"). Also, when I open the cover, the other LEDS will on new (green), but nothing happens.
    After the restart first by pressing the power button for 10 seconds to close, I often get the message that Windows cannot be started and run the system repair.

    I just do a completely clean install with the product recovery CD (has not installed SP1 yet), updated to v1.90 BIOS, but the problem remains.

    I'm afraid that my only option will be to bring him away for a warranty repair, but knowing that these repairs can take weeks, I'd rather try a solution here could someone recommend me first. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

    Thank you
    Daniel Breslauer

    Hi guys

    Never had this problem on my laptop, but with regard to an other users here in the forum the BIOS might help solve such strange behavior for laptop
    To be honest the closed question is unclear for me I noticed a problem before on my laptop but the update of the BIOS helped.

    This is why I recommend update BIOS first.
    If the problem still appears, the ASP should take a look in the notebook.

    Good luck

  • Tecra M7 - after which the screen saver will not return

    Occasionally, the screen turns off according to power options, but not coming back when you press keys or the mouse is moved. The only way I can get the screen to wake-up is to transform the notebook into tablet mode and vice versa.

    This always the screen wakes up but is boring to do. This problem is only intermittent and if it has place at all this is the first time, the screen turns off after coming out of hibernation or otherwise turn on.

    Y at - it a fix for this problem?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Not easy to say why it happens.
    The display turns off automatically or did you put the laptop into sleep mode.
    This occurs if the laptop is in the PC mode or Tablet PC?

    If we talked about Eve so as far as I know the laptop wakes up not of mode before moving the mouse. You must press the power button.
    In addition, you can wake up a screen with the mouse only moves if the screen saver was.

    However, you said that sometimes happens.
    I put t don't know if this helps, but check the Toshiba driver page.
    Check the versions available and compare. Try to update the graphics driver

  • Satellite Pro L20: Adapter WLan has stopped working and will not allow

    Hello

    I have a L20 Pro Satalite, which works very well. However, just before Christmas 2006, the adapter wireless (Atheros AR5005G) has stopped working.

    Windows XP Pro SP2 can see the adapter and network connections shows as being activated, but he sees not all networks.

    The Atheros Client Utility says that the adapter pases troubleshooting TI test diagnosis up to the Radio, when he says that the Radio is disabled and must be enabled in the Client utility.

    'Excellent!', I thought: opening the utility forward. Looked in the Action menu to find "turn on the Radio" is greyed out!

    Help!

    Any help is very welcome.

    See you soon,.

    Barry Smith.

    Is there a hardware option to enable and disable your wireless network card? (switch)
    You upgrade your Wlan driver recently? (If Yes, maybe with the wrong driver?)

    I had a similar problem once and resolved through driver updates... want to give it a try?

    You can download the driver generic Atheros (Version 5.0.0.107) available here:

    Hello Varshil07,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message, by updating your Mac you have forced stop, or you have closed the lid, and now it does not start.  To start, I suggest that try you to start in safe mode by following the instructions below.  For later use, it's a good idea to not force the computer to shut down or close the lid while it is up to date, because it can cause problems.

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.

    Have a good.

  • My windows live Movie Maker has an ER code 0 x 80004005, cannot display viedo of camer after down load, that its there just will not be open for the show.

    After down loading the camera viedo, it will not be open for show, but it's there, ER (0x80004005) it says Director windows live how I do to reboot?

    Have a look at the last 3 letters of the video you've imported to Windows Live Movie maker (WLMM).
    That the last 3 letters represent the format of the video file. If the format is NOT supported by WLMM, he won't play it.

    Here are the formats supported by WLMM:
    Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

    If your video file format is not on the list above, google for a FREE video converter and it allows to convert your video file.
    The best format to convert is WMV. The most reliable and foo-proof format.

  • Satellite Pro L450D black screen and will not respond to any keys

    Hello

    My niece has used his Toshiba L450D for almost a year now and he really liked it, who was until last month. She turned on her laptop and when she presses the button of the mouse, the button cracked and he fell into the laptop.

    Now my brother contacted Toshiba and I was told because it is under warranty it might return for repair because it was a common fault. Then he he packed in loads of air bubbles and a box to make sure it was safe.

    A few weeks later he came back repaired but we were all shocked that the laptop was put in a very loose box and you could hear this rattling noise. When we turned on the battery was flat and we had a new boot menu.

    As she installed it Windows 7 laptop would boot directly into Windows 7, but now after the repair of the laptop shows a menu black screen with as follows:

    + Windows 7 +.
    + Recover Windows to Factory Settings [active EMS] +.

    So we started in Windows and everything went well, but now after 5 or 10 or even 20 minutes, laptop displays a black screen and will not respond to keys or mouse movement. There is nothing on the screen its just black.

    I started in SafeMode (which was more difficult with the new menu) and it does the same thing. I even managed to do a virus scan quick who took 3-4 minutes and was clean.

    I would like some advice on what my niece is very angry, and it's difficult to explain what is happening to a child in the primary school.

    Any help would be grateful.
