Satellite M100-165 cannot stop - turns on automatically after a few seconds

Hello!

I have the problem of identical or very similar to those described in the threads:

Link: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=109125]

When I try to turn off my Satellite M100-165 ("shut down" in Windows or even by pressing the power button while I'm in BIOS) it lights up after a few seconds. It lights when it runs on batteries. She also doesn't appear when I press the button for 4 seconds.

I tried to recover the system with the recovery CD (Windows XP Home). I also tried with Windows Vista. Always the same.

In fact I have BIOS version 2.90 (updated from version 1.90, as far as I remember) but with an earlier version, the problem exists also.
I think when I got the version of the BIOS before 1.90 this problem did not exist (but I don't remember this version number).

Thank you for any suggestions.

Hello

It's a very unusual question and, for me, there is not just some explanation. It will be interesting to know what Toshiba experts say on this subject. Make a call and let us know what they say.

The strange is that the same thing will happen with two different operating systems. I can't say for sure why this happens, but your laptop is a bit confusing and of course change the shutdown with restart. If it is result of BIOS update service people should know about it.

  • Satellite M100-165 cannot stop - lights up immediately

    Hi all!

    Here's my problem: whenever I have shutdown or Hibernate my Satellite M100-165, it will light within 5 seconds. Standby does not either - instead of normal going in standby mode (power LED turn orange) it shuts down completely and has the force of will to 5 seconds upwards again and freeze. The computer only lights when plugged into power alternative, with or without a network cable. Wake-on-LAN is disabled. No other event trail is accessible from the menu of the BIOS Setup.

    I tried the system restore to a date before the problem was uccured, I've updated the BIOS, uninstalled and reinstalled Toshiba Power Saver utility, set closing the lid to take no action, scanned with HijackThis and found no suspicious processes.

    The problem started shortly after I installed Motorola Phone Tools (i.e., a driver of USB modem for my mobile phone). I don't know if that could be related but uninstalled/reinstalled the software nothing works.

    Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

    2. which media player you use to play the video?

  • Be disconnected automatically after a few seconds.

    If I have to pause during any application... and have been inactive for more than 10 seconds, I get disconnected

    automatically and sign in with my password to unlock the computer. It's really annoying, expecially as I often stop and take notes of something.  Where am I going to extend this deadline?  Thank you!

    Hello

    You can change it in power options

    • Go to the control panel
    • Click on power options
    • Change Power saver plan

    Kind regards

  • Whenever I try to go into safe mode, my PC restarts automatically after a few seconds.

    I use Windows 7 Enterprise edition (64-bit)
    Normal mode/start works fine.

    Hi mcalix,

    It is one of the locations where you will be able to disable the auto restart of the system failure. The other location is, as the computer starts, press F8. In the advanced boot menu, select the disable restart automatic option on the system failure.

    I also suggest you check the exact error message you get to do this in the Event Viewer:

    Event Viewer is a tool that displays detailed information about the events important (for example, programs that don't start as expected or updates are downloaded automatically) on your computer. The event viewer can be useful when troubleshooting problems and errors with Windows and other programs.

    For more information, see:

    What are the information contained in the logs of the event (Event Viewer)?

    Check out this link to open the event viewer:

    Open event viewer

    I also suggest to check if Windows 7 is compatible with your computer hardware.

  • Satellite Pro P300 turns on automatically after 3-4 minutes after the stop

    We have a problem with the new laptop Pro P300 series (P5PC5E). It's not OFF after his stop. Laptop turns on automatically after 3-4 minutes after his stop.
    This occurs when LAN (RJ-45) is connected to the laptop.

    -We have disabled "Wake on LAN" from BIOS and tried to disable some other Wake on the options, but nothing made.
    -In addition, we tried to use the laptop on the other room in another cable RJ45. Is not helped either.
    -Laptop is new and there has been nothing, except installed Vista for installation at the factory at the end and install F-Secure.
    -After that, F-Secure has also removed with the uninstall tool.

    Now... what someone has idea how to solve this problem or shoud simply return laptop to Toshiba for repair?

    Don t think you need to call the ASP for the repair.

    Just a question; did you check if the laptop wakes up automatically if the LAN cable is NOT connected?
    Please check this box.

    If the laptop won't wakeup automatically after that the LAN cable has been disconnected, then everything is ok with your laptop and I don't suppose some settings need to be changed.

    In the BIOS please disable:
    Wake on keyboard
    Wake-up on LAN
    -Battery clock criticism

    You should also go to Device Manager-> network controllers-> Lan card-> properties-> Advanced tab.

    There, you might disable wake-up settings to.

  • Question about HDD temperature on Satellite M100-165

    My Hitachi 80 GB HDD on Satellite M100-165 is getting very hot. 50 - 55 c in general using Windows. And warmer that I see is 59.

    Is that normal values for M100?

    Hello

    How did you check this temperature? Did you use the 3rd party applications?
    To my knowledge, these applications don't provide a temperature exactly.

    Anyway, in my view the 55-60 ° C is not very hot for a HARD drive. You know that the temperature is dynamically the value and depends on how fast and time the HARD disk rotates.
    The HARD disk also turns when you use Notepad with General Windows applications and access the OS from the HARD drive.

    The temperature may also increase because the other parties such as the processor and graphics card produces heat. This temperature can increase the temperature of the HARD disk level.

    PS: The specifications are supported protection against overheating. If the temperature is too high the laptop will automatically stops.

  • Satellite M100-165: screen dithering also after BIOS update

    Is there anything I can do to solve this problem, because the dithering promblem is really annoying!

    P.S. The LCD Panel seems to be a SEC5643

    Hi guys

    If you have read the topic about this issue with the Satellite A100, you will see that many user were frustrated but right at the last update of the available BIOS. It cannot happen overnight and in my opinion, you must be patient and hope that the good BIOS update will be available shortly.

  • Satellite M100-165 - new 320 HDD recognised as 132GB

    Hello

    I try to install a western digital (wd3200 bevt) HARD drive on a Satellite M100-165, with Windows XP SP 3
    But the HARD drive recognized only as 132 GB internal USB connected.
    I have a Lacie external USB HDD 320 GB, that work properly. Any idea?
    Thanx.

    Hello

    I think that your laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits, then it will be only 132GB recognized. You can learn more about this here: http://www.48bitlba.com/

    What can you do now? Nothing. You can buy a 120 GB HARD drive.

    You should also check if your external enclosure supports 320GB. Not every external HARD disk supports each size of HARD drive.

  • Realtek HD on Satellite M100-165 does not work

    I have a Satellite M100-165 and from the moment where I bought it I have never effects Manager realtek hd sound.
    Lately my windows xp that they updated and the effects Manager appear in the control panel.

    But after an another update of the effect window manager disappear

    Hello

    Hmmm... only the TOSHIBA Virtual Sound is known to me, and certainly, this tool is installed on the image of Toshiba. The image of the BONE was delivered on the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    As you say, the laptop supports a smart Audio HD Realtek ALC 861 but only the Realtek driver was installed and not the extra utility.
    Maybe the Realtek provides this tool that could be installed and more? Who knows... but I'm sure... the Realtek HD sound effect Manager is not a part of the image!

    By the way; Several weeks ago, I noticed an update of Microsoft, who has had a bad influence on the chip realtek audio.
    2 days after Microsoft released a patch for this update. Perhaps it has something to do with your problem...

  • Satellite M100-165: connection to the LAN operarte correctly

    I have a Satellite M100-165 for about 2 years with the original Setup (win XP etc) and I make all updates.
    The problem is that the connection to the local network is working properly from the beginning.

    I can connect only if I set the NIC property "link speed & Duplex = 10 Mbps Full Duplex", but on some LANs operate at all.
    I appreciate any response.

    Thank you

    I'm a bit confused now. What you mean with connection to the LAN working correctly from the beginning? What is started for you?
    I can't believe that you declare on that now, two years later. Have you already tried to install recovery image and test it with the factory settings?

  • Satellite A110-180 - fan starts but stops after a few seconds

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A110-180 and when I turn on the computer, the fan turns on but it stops in a few seconds and starts again in a while and stops again and starts... Then the laptop gets heat quickly.

    I bought the laptop about 5 years ago, so I think the problem is the fan or the circuit that controls the fan. Can someone who has had the same problem make sure that the fan is the problem?

    The fan part number is ATZHG000500. Does anyone know if a fan with P/N ATZHG000100 is compatible with my laptop, or if I can use another fan?

    Thanks for your help,

    Hey Wiley,

    First of all it of normal that the fan starts and after a few seconds, or 1 minute stops. Depending on the programs you run again the departure of fan after a few seconds or minutes. So, theoretically, it of normal what is happening.

    But if your laptop is almost 5 years old, you should try to clean. So I can recommend jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. It is very cheap but very useful.
    Check it!

    In addition, I think that the thermal paste should be renewed a technicians authorized laptop can help you and answer if the other fan part number fits in your laptop. :)
