• Satellite A30-414 turn off randomly

  Hi, I'm new here. I own this Satellite A30-414. It works well, but it turns off randomly. I explain.

  I might use it for non-stop days, it works well, but sometimes it empties and turns off. Then it always turns on the second attempt. I mean, after the stop, I turn it on, I see the MESSAGE, then it turns off again. The second time I turn it on it goes OK and starts Windows XP Pro SP3. There is no particular action, I do it turns off, it can happen any application at any time. As I said, it can stay for days, connected to the internet via wifi or lan, download P2P stuff, no problem not turn off.

  I thought it was the temperature because it's warm enough, so I run it on a laptop computer have lower airflow, not at all, it turns off randomly anyway. Maybe I'm thniking more heating unsoldered some brazing under BGA chips, so it might need a redistribution of some chips, maybe the graphics chip

  Can you help me please?

  Thanx

  Hi satiropan,

  > I thought it was the temperature because it's warm enough, so I run it on a laptop computer have lower airflow, not at all, it turns off randomly anyway.
  Such an external Notebook Cooler will not help you solve this problem. The internal cooling fan is designed and tested for this laptop and everything will work perfectly even on high usage. External cooling is not necessary.

  It's old enough laptop model, so I imagine that a lot of dust blocking the cooling fan. Therefore, clean it with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. The exact procedure is described here:

• Satellite M40x-250 turns off without warning

  HII everyone,

  Hope you guys can help me. I have an old Toshiba Notebook (Satellite M40x-250).

  I don't know how old exactly, but I think around 4 or 5 years. Ive never had any problem with it, but now its weird action. Recently, I was typing something and suddenly it just turned itself off.

  I waited about five minutes before I restarted and it worked perfectly again.
  Same thing just happened half an hour ago.

  Now his works once again, with no loss of information.
  My laptop is just getting old, or would be - this other problem that could be solved?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  In my eyes it s typical overheating problem
  As you say it s a laptop plus age (4 to 5 years) and I suppose that the cooling fans have not been cleaned since the first day
  I think that there is a lot of dust and debris that prevents the cooling modules to work with maximum efficiency, this can lead to a higher temperature and shut downs.

  The laptop turns off automatically to prevent the equipment from damage
  Clean the fan using a jet of compressed air! In from time to time, and it helps!

• Finalis M40X-189 turns off randomly and won't restart easily

  A few days ago my Equim M40X close without surveillance (from the outlet with the battery in place). Everything that was on a witnessed the Green AC power. By pressing the button start has no effect. I removed the battery and replaced it - still no joy. Took it to my local computer repair shop - they argued at all first, there was nothing wrong, but when I arrived to collect it wouldn't start. They "reinstall the connector on the Board power and touch pad connector and tested 15 times - switches and turn off properly" £25 more I took it home. Next day-same problem. Finally managed to do start, but it stops after 1 minute. Rebooted again and ran OK several hours. Today, would not start. Went out the battered completely - started OK, but stops after 2 hours or more. I can usually get it goes by uplugging, sector or battery, but have no idea how much time he will go before stopping.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  Unfortunately, I think that nobody can really help you in this forum. If even in the computer repair shop they fixed well. I advise you to contact the TASP (Toshiba authorized service center), technicians can help you, because they familiar with Toshiba laptops and may order the damaged part if necessary.

• Satellite A100 - sound turns off randomly

  OK, it was my fault. I lent my laptop to one of my students who tried to load a software to read a FLV file.
  Since then, I had a lot of problems with my sound.

  The sound would work, but when the volume is too high or often at random - the sound would cut out them and stop them.
  The sound level meter shows that sound is working.
  Mixer indicates that the driver is working.
  But I do not hear anything from the speakers.
  Only when I stop and restart the sound coming back.

  I downloaded the sound driver Toshiba Real Tek recommended, but this has not solved the problem.
  I completely rebooted Vista and all my software, but this has not solved the problem.

  I have a Satellite A100 PSAANC WA07
  Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
  BIOS Version 6.00
  RealTek Audio driver 6.0.1.5326

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  It s really strange that your problem persists after that you got the laptop.

  What you could do is visit the site Web of Realtek and could attempt to reinstall the audio driver directly from Realtek page.
  Before installing the new version, he recommended to remove the old driver sound system.

• Satellite P20-521 turns off randomly without warning

  Computer shuts down randomly without warning. I also had a few blue screens of death last week.
  To restore using factory settings.
  Or should I return my Toshiba laptop

  Hello

  As Johnny writes that you should try to clean the unit. I used Satellite P20 for two years and remove the cooling in the lower corner, I found a lot of dust inside. After that cleaning of the laptop was much more calm and cooling fan did not run at full speed as before.

  I imagine that your laptop may not be cooled properly and the result is overheating. Your first step should be to remove dust. Look at how the laptop runs after doing this. If the laptop starts to cut again please write us again.

• Satellite Pro L10 turns off randomly?

  Hello

  Looks like your machine is overheated. Maybe there are little dust in the cooling rack. Try to clean it up, then it should work again.

• Satellite A100 - PSAA5U SP2022 sometimes turns off randomly

  Hello

  I have a toshiba Satellite A100-SP2022 PSAA5U-02G00G portable satellite and sometimes turns off the coast at random.
  The battery and charger are OK.

  I saw a bulletin saying a word on an update of the BIOS for A100 series for that matter.

  The problem is: I can't find my model or my BIOS to the toshiba support site.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t think that this could be linked to the BIOS
  In my opinion the reason for this problem could be a high temperature.

  You said that the laptop stops automatically?
  Usually, this occurs if the temperature reaches a critical threshold and the laptop stops to prevent the equipment from damage

  In most cases, the vents are clogged and air cannot circulate properly.

  Therefore, it would be desirable to check and clean the ventilation openings with a professional air spray.
  This could help them to get rid of dust and debris.

• Satellite M40x-230 - YouTube videos is not continuous

  Since the purchase of the satellite M40x-230 in 2005, he was never able to play online or off connection permanently in the video, the video stops to load a few seconds to a minute, about 10 to 20 seconds. In this case you were using itunes, windows media player or winamp.

  I downloaded the latest version of Adobe flash, but I'm not sure that there is an error with the laptop itself. The operating system has been reinstalled several times but the problem remains. I don't have this problem on a new netbook from toshiba.

  The information system are:
  Windows XP SP3 operating system,
  Intel (R) Pentium (R) M processor clocked at 1.86 GHz,
  512 MB of RAM.
  Graphics - unknown

  I would appreciate any information that might lead to a solution for this.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  I put t know which videos you look, but perhaps that you have to install a new codec pack. Just use Google to find these codec packs.

  In addition, I recommend VLC media player. It s a freeware player that can play most audio and video files. It s freeware! :)

• iPhone turns off randomly

  Hello

  I got an iPhone 5S for about a year and a half and, for the most part, it was a great phone for me. Yesterday, it turns off randomly every few hours. It already happened, and usually stops the next day. However, it was not the case this time. All day today, it would be random and often turned off and won't turn back on unless it is plugged or I hold all the buttons. In addition, the percentages of battery were in every sense. Sometimes, when turned back on, it will be 100% even it it has low battery symbol flash before the apple logo, as it is powered. About 10 minutes, however, he turned on and says that it is 5%. I'm sitting here watching and it has not extinguished since and has charged up to 11%. I use third-party chargers. I only used a up to the earlier today, when I remembered, I got another loader (which is also a third party). So I went to that one, but I don't think it makes a difference.

  It's now about 2 hours. My phone was plugged in and 100% for most of the time. No problems. Then I disconnected and had it for about 2 minutes, works great until I put my case back on. He then turns off. I was able to turn it back on, but it then immediately off again. I plugged and I can't turn it on.

  Any ideas as to what could be the problem? And more importantly, a solution?

  Sorry this is so long and complicated. I will answer questions about my unusual situation if it helps solve the problem.

  Thank you!

  Looks like your battery is perhaps go wrong

  They can do a test distance of the battery and you advise on next steps

• 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.

• The user guide for a satellite M40X-230?

  Hello

  The screen must be replaced on my Toshiba Satellite M40X-230, and that I was looking for an online version (pdf) of the manual for it (as it's second hand so I do not have the documents to toshiba) I need basically mainly for an overview of how the screen of the laptop computer is equipped, I was wondering if anyone can link me to it if they know where abouts it is because I checked the site Web of Toshiba and my model is not listed when I just try to get it.

• 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.)

• 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.
