• Satellite L670 - 184 PSK3EE: cannot boot OS

  Hello

  I have this laptop: Satellite L670-184 PSK3EE-039007FR

  This laptop is no longer under warranty, but my will is to save my data and whether my hard drive might be fix.

  For 13 months, I have seen no problems with him, but for 2 weeks, I have experiment some gel and bug during initialization. Last week, I couldn't reach the connection windows operating system, I try to reach the Restore tool (F8 key) but there is no possibility to achieve the recovery partition.

  With a live CD, I managed to save some data, but after recording, my hard drive was not identified in the linux live cd or in a SATA / USB link.

  The hard disk starts itself, but is not identified. The disc was not uncommon or metallic sounds. It is impossible to load an operating system or of the TOSHIBA recovery partition in the laptop (SATA port) or via USB (SATA/USB tool).

  The laptop starts with another hard drive SATA (SATA drive Exchange).

  What is your opinion?

  Can it be fixed (at this point, it is not a question of money but a question of possibility...)?
  There are software or processes to identy, restart or restore the disk without it recognition? How it identified?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > The laptop starts with another hard drive SATA (SATA drive Exchange).
  In this case, it would mean that the disc is broken I recommend you replace this HARD drive and install the operating system once more using the Toshiba disk recover.

  If you didn't create the disc of recovery in the past, then you can order it here:

• Satalite Pro A60 overheating and crashing

  My satalite Satalite A60 Pro keeps overheating and crashing. It says something about an ati driver.

  I downloaded a bios between bios-190trad of this Web site.
  I burned the iso to the disk, but I can't get the laptop to boot from the disk in the read me file that comes with the bios it says to press F12 to start the laptop. F12 doesn't do anything for me. How to boot from the CD I am using Windows XP Service pack 2.

  Hello

  First of all if you want to boot from the CD, you must change the boot order in the BIOS. To get into the BIOS, you can press ESC and then F1.
  Another possibility is the C key immediately after starting the laptop.

  If the laptop overheats so I guess the fans don't work properly. In this case, you should try to clean the fans. (use the vacuum cleaner)

• Satellite Pro M10 freeze and crash with some programs

  Hello

  I have a M10 Pro Satellite...
  A few weeks ago it's freeze and crash with some programs like wmpayer, messenger... I delivered to the authorized agent and they had not detected any problems.
  Already I have formatted several times, but the problem persists.

  Any idea what this may be?

  Thank you

  Hello

  For me it looks like you might have a motherboard problem. Formatting removes the chance that it is a software problem. Try taking 1 stick of RAM and test with it. If she continues to crash, remove that stick and try it. If she does it with the two RAM then those who are ok. HARD drive is not the culprit, so now he could either be processor or MB. Find a program to measure the heat from the laptop and run some heavy programs do overheat. If the temperature goes up and then it crashes, it could just be overheating. If it continues without overheating you either have a CPU or MB problem. I hope this helps.

• Re: Satellite L670-142 - overheating when I play a game

  First I got keyboard problems with my Satellite L670-142, then it was fixed by an update of the BIOS (version 1.80).

  But now, when I play a game, it overheats and stops. Before updating the BIOS, I have never had this problem. Is it possible to install the previous BIOS or anyone know another solution?

  Hey,.

  If your laptop is overheating, you should try to clean using compressed air stream. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans that blocks the air. It only takes a few minutes to clean and it s not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  Just blow air gently and shortly into the holes of the case to blow off the dust.
  Before that, shut down the laptop and remove the battery and the AC adapter.

• Qosmio G40 - graphics card keeps overheating and crashing all at stake

  My nVidia 8600GT card in my laptop Qosmio G40 overheating guard and crashing when I m gaming.

  It works all the games that I put on it fine, but overheating then crashes and me kicks off the games I play m.
  Is it just because it s a laptop and it s inclined to do?

  I tried to increase the fan speed with riva tuner and precision, but no program allows me to access the utility of fan speed.
  I presume this is because it s a specific card from the laptop... I also can't find the driver for this card from nVidia updates.

  Help, please... James

  Hello!

  Are you using the Toshiba display driver? This is important because the pilot factory don t have protection against overheating and the graphics chip can be damaged.

  In addition, this could also be an overheating problem. If you need to clean your laptop with a jet of compressed air that you can buy at a local computer retailer.

  Last but not least, I would not try to change the speed of the fan or something else. This will be controlled automatically.

  Good bye

• Overheating and crash on the A60 - 122 power management

  Sorry for the bad English - my native language is Russian.
  I have a few problems:

  #1 when I run any graphical application lasts (as any games full screen)-I get a trouble - front near the screen becomes very hot - I think it's a video card problem, because I saw this sentence only at games or use Photoshop. How can I solve this? Have Satellite A60 - 122 functions q - fan (like ASUS motherboards) and how do I access it?

  Utility power management #2 - hangs at each performance of the OS and crashes when you try to uninstall.
  What can recommend you on these issues?

  Thanks for all the answers.

  Kind regards
  Alex.

  Hello

  #1 with this number you can do anything. If it's really hot, you can call service toshiba partner and ask if it would be useful to analyze the material.

  #2 you tried to install the new management tool of power 'on' non-functional existing power management. It may be that the new installation fix the existing!

• Satellite A200 - 1C0 - overheating and close

  Hello world:

  I ve got a Satellite A200 - 1C0 PSAE0E and since one month, it stops due to overheating (hybridized with hot CPU). The fact is that when I restart the computer to the BIOS screen, fan of the processor begins to work at a very high speed (to cool the CPU), but to start Windows to start the fan suddenly stops, and the fact is that the CPU is always at 78 degrees celsius.

  I tried updating the BIOS, reinstall windows recovery partition and all components, but it does not solve anything. Also tried to install Windows 7 and still nothing and windows Xp and still nothing. I Don t know what else to do. Help will be apreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  Hey,.

  To properly clean your cooling system, see this article from Toshiba:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm

  Another reason could be the old thermal grease and maybe, it must be renewed. If t, you can do it yourself, ask a technician for laptop help! :)

• Satellite A300D - is overheating and can not play games

  Hello
  I'm quite desperate. My Satellite A300D is overheating. I can not play new games. Temperature hit 94 degrees and laptop is restarted. I cleaned it several times, very precisely and nothing. So I decided to send it to the official service of Toshiba. After that, the phone is still the same.

  My only hope is buy cooling grease and cooling stock-base. But before that ideas, advice?

  Thanks for everything...

  Hello

  I can understand you mate, but have you contacted Toshiba service center again? You should speak with the technicians and explain the situation. I put t know what they did, do you know that?

  Cleaning of the laptop is still a good idea but if it doesn't work maybe the thermal compound must be renewed. So ask a technician for help laptop.

  By the way: what OS are you using? You can use the same problem with the factory settings and preinstalled display driver?

• Satellite A30 303 overheating and random stop.

  Well on this laptop, it came out over a period of 20 months ago, the last year I had an overheating problem, I temporarily delayed by buying two desk fans to him but this summer I sent him far from being 'fixed' then after 1-2 months to be fixed the problem slowly began to re-occuring more often most of the time when I run the games.

  Then I talked to some friends and they said on the incompatibility of the RAM somehow another ram of 256 in and it was not compatible with the original so I removed it and purchased a new 512 to go with 256. ALWAYS the laptop turns off, so RAM incompatibility was not the cause. I also bought a cooler laptop yesterday, that actually made it worse my computer now turns off a few seconds of a game being loaded.

  I went into a store model, and they said to the ventilation systems for laptop as if they were defective when creating, they will continue to be faulty even when 'fixed '. What can I do about it? I'm looking for the cause.

  I also had the computer under warranty for a year, but now the problem that was supposed to be fixed reappeared, but im now out of warranty, can't that ask something since the same problem they're supposed to difficulty is still there?
  Any help appreciated.

  Hi Bill,

  Overheating and random power offs are surprisingly common on this model of laptop. The problem arises because the debris and dust is sucked into the grilles of the fan on the bottom of the laptop and is then trapped in the heat sink CPU effectively blocks. A thermal cut-out will work when the CPU temerature becomes too high and turns off the phone to avoid any damage.

  Regular clearing of debris in the heat sink is necessary (I do mine a week). Usually a domestic pipe against the bars of fresh air fan will be sufficient, although in severe cases, it may be necessary to remove the radiator (accessible by removing a panel of access at the bottom of the laptop) and manually clear the debris.

• Satellite L300D-10B - overheating and will not recognize adapter

  Hello

  I recently encountered problems with my ac adapter when I plug, there is no green light on laptop (its loading sign) and I need to unplug plug several times up until the green light appears. In addition, laptop is overheating and won t work if adapter isn't plugged in, if I unplug the device, it turns off.

  Any help?

  BTW, laptop is 4 years old

  > Also, laptop is overheating and won t work if adapter isn't plugged in, if I unplug the device, it turns off.

  This happens even if the battery is charged and connected?
  This means that the battery is dead. This would also explain the question why battery does not charge.

  I think that the battery needs to be checked at the beginning.

  Regarding overheating:
  I guess that the laptop has not been cleaned in the past.
  This could be the reason why don t cooling fans work as it should. Dust inside the cooling module prevents the fans run at high performance. I think that's the reason why there is a problem with air circulation.
  Then try to clean the fans with a jet of compressed air. This allows to remove dust.

• Fan noise L670-15 - overheating and strong satellite causing crash?

  Hello, my name is Maria and I'm from Moscow.

  I bought this laptop (Toshiba Satellite L 670-15) December 16, 2010, and from the beginning I had problems with it. Before that I managed to install all the programs, he said: "there is not enough memory", I couldn't install updates important and software worked very slow. I took it to the RSS service and warranty Center, they changed a hard drive it and reinstalled Windows.

  Later, approximately in a month, my laptop began to have hot, very bad, like iron and turns off. My friend cleaned and blew the laptop with an air canned. First three weeks, it worked fine, then repeated the problem. Before the end of my warranty period left is not so long and I took it to service center.

  They took my cell phone and said: 'your laptop does not heat, it must be cleaned, it is not guaranteed attachment and it will cost 1 750 rubles (about 54 dollars). Is this normal? Why at least on the warranty period you can not offer me a free setting? In the service center they told me, that there are no other problems, with the exception of the dust, but I am always with my laptop at home, it is very clean here and no dust, I use the laptop, according to the user manual and I do not understand how in a short period of time it becomes so dirty that I can't work on it!

  I need this laptop for my work, the service center took my cell phone for more than 2 weeks, but I refused to fix paid. After that I sent an e-mail to the Russian customers of Toshiba, but I was told that only RSS specialists can give me the right conclusion. Okay, it looks like that I don't have the choice. Yet once, I took my laptop to this service. In the request, I asked the system cooling, but still checked once, I got a call, my laptop heats, the cooling system is malfunctioning and he has no problem, except dust. OK, I agreed this time to do a cleanup and paid 1750 rubles, but they even did not extend the period of warranty for two more weeks, which they spent to repair my laptop. And what do you think?

  Just two weeks from that day I took the laptop and it gets hot again and when I leave it for a while and it supposed to go for hibernation, it turns off and when I turn it on, it asks: "Do you want to change the mode windows safe?" and I have to rebuild my word documents and Google chrome after the error.

  I bet the problem is not in the dust, and I don't know why Toshiba won't help me and correct my laptop for free. I have all the documents and copies of letters. I think that I have no choice, but I need to prove that the problem is not in the dust and I want my money back in return - for laptop and for fixing, without doubt, if Toshiba cares about their customers, I have to take my laptop to the independent expertise and to go to the Court, or maybe you have any ideas?

  > They took my cell phone and said: 'your laptop does not heat, it must be cleaned, it is not guaranteed attachment and it will cost 1 750 rubles (about 54 dollars). Is this normal?

  I have fear of the AEP is fair and is not guarantee case m

  > Told me, that there are no other problems, with the exception of the dust, but I am always with my laptop at home, here is very clean and without dust, I use the laptop, according to the user manual and I do not understand how in a short period of time it gets so dirty, I can't work on that!

  It s nothing unusual that laptop s cooling fans should be cleaned from time to time. Only do it with my two different notebooks from different manufacturers.
  I use my laptop at home, the other on a trip and the two needs to be cleaned. I use a simple compressed air jet to get the dust removed.
  It's good enough to clean the cooling modules.

  Here is a nice and useful of the Toshiba knowledge base document:
  + How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system +.
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm

  But if cleaning cooling modules does not help, I recommend changing the settings of the power plan of the Win 7.
  Reach:
  Changes in the operating system:
  --> Power Options control panel--> change the parameters of plan--> change power avancΘs--> TOSHIBA Power Saver Settings--> cooling method

  Try here the setting: Max performance.

  Also go to TOSHIBA HW--> CPU frequency mode
  Here the value of the parameter: switchable Dynamics

  In the BIOS, try this setting:
  Changes in the Bios (power management):
  Intel Turbo boost Technology-> disable

  Hope that this would be to keep the temperature at the lower level.

• Satellite Pro M10 overheating and the fan runs loud

  I have a Satellite Pro M10 and when it is the fan on the power grid comes shortly after the start and makes a horrible noise - this has only started happening recently. I tried spraying compressed air (dust) to the air outlet and still have the same problem.

  Other postings say to clean the fan, but I don't know how to access it. I'm worried about overheating problems I work in Africa much of the time and the laptop is subject to hot temperatures.

  Hi Hannah,

  The easy way to clear the dust and debris from the cooling system is to use a vacuum cleaner hose placed on the admission air grids that are usually in the bottom of the laptop (covered by a grid). For maximum effect, I usually place a rag around the pipe to maximize the flow of air through the fans.

  This causes air suction through the radiator CPU the wrong way and ensures that all debris are not pulled into the heatsink, but are removed by fans. You can see a ball of down under the grates that you need to try to clear little by little.

  This technique will not void your warranty since no disassembly of the unit is necessary.

  Kind regards

• Satellite L300-29W - Freezed and crash

  I received this laptop as a gift for Christmas, so the thing is less than three months. It works fine and dandy until yesterday. I went down for a few hours and my laptop is put to sleep after two but when I came it was completely frozen. Ctrl alt delete didn't work so I had to shut it down by holding the main button. I turned on it and everything seemed to work ok until I started watching a video online. I had not touched a fifteen minutes and the browser crashed, followed by the computer, with ctrl alt del does not. I turned off completely and left overnight.

  I come back on it today and a friend recommended I get the battery to see if it was a problem with that. After he touches don't for about fifteen minutes crashing again (so apparently my battery is fine). I have the free version of Avast anti virus and it began there say he had caught a virus, I scanned my computer and deleted with avast and re-analyzed two days. The re-scan said that the computer was clean, so I don't know if the virus is still in hiding there or something. It is not overheating (was a quite normal temperature the last time it happened) and I have no idea what to do next.

  I don't really know anything about computers spent turn on the guys, so that any help would be appreciated but its going to have to be in English or I are completely lost :) Thank you

  Hello Sarah

  At first, I have to give you a great compliment. The description of your problem is really good and understandable. Many people here should read your validation in order to see how it should be done correctly.

  Back to your problem:
  I had similar problem after waking from sleep mode and wasn't able to find out what was wrong there. The configuration of your laptop is not known to me and I do not know what applications you use on your laptop, but it can happen that General information during the implementation/application process to problems when your laptop goes into sleep mode. On my laptop, I had always error message appears each time after sleep mode.

  It will be interesting to know if the same problem occurs when standby mode extended (FN + F4).
  Can you please test and validate the result?

  Hello

  It sounds like this dust is in the heat sink and your laptop should be cleaned using the jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can get air to each computer dealer normally stream.

  I clean my cell phone every 3-4 months and I m always asked how much dust out. I think that s important to clean but it only takes a few minutes. :)
