• Satellite M200 screen turns off after that start & battery does not charge

  Hello, I am from Jakarta, Indonesia
  I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite M200 Notebook (running Windows 7 Home Premium)

  After I press the power button to the top of my laptop, it works fine display BIOS and Windows startup screen.
  but after that my monitor off all of a sudden when Windows is supposed to show the login screen.

  Sometimes, the monitor doesn't turn off, but shows a lower resolution (I don't know exactly what resolution, 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, i use maybe 1280 x 800)
  so the only thing I can do is, press the power button to stop bad then press power again turns on, my monitor works normally
  try to stop and then turn on again in a few hours later, problems still comes once.

  from the moment where I install Windows 7, I use 8.15.10.1930 version of the driver (downloaded from Download Center of Intel, which included Assistant TV Intel)
  2 days ago, my friend told me that I should install the driver from the Toshiba site support, so I went to csd.toshiba.com and download the 8.15.10.1825 version of this site (which is not included Assistant TV Intel)

  my monitor works normally after I installed the driver I of csd.toshiba.com, so I think that the problem because the Intel TV Wizard somehow messed with my laptop. But this morning this problem once again, my turns just monitor suddenly...

  In addition, this problem seems to be my battery was unable to recharge, my completely reloaded Windows shows, but when I plugged my AC adapter,
  There are 15-20 minutes before my laptop turns off automatically

  Three months ago, I just brought my laptop to the local Service Center of Toshiba and bought the new motherboard to replace my old mobo (which have a VGA problem too!)
  Is there something I can do (related to Windows or driver/software) or I can bring my notebook at the center of service again?
  are they somehow an incorrect wiring when replacing my motherboard?
  and am I need to replace my battery too?

  I use this laptop for about a year and a half and there is nothing wrong with my battery before replacing the motherboard

  any help would be appreciated :D

  Hello

  Talk about your screen, the a graphics driver causes this malfunction with resolution and turn off. Go to the page of the toshiba driver and download the correct Vga driver for your model. I see, you are running Windows 7, if there is no driver for win7, try the vista driver.
  On your power supply, you have used for the year and a half and he is released in 20 minutes, there is nothing strange. It's standard for power supply operating period, need to be replaced. Just to be sure, you can check with a new battery. You will see that the trick works as expected.

• Satellite P10 792 turns off

  Hello

  my laptop (bought in October 2004) turns off after 5 or 10 minutes because it runs too hot.

  If I place my laptop on blocks (5 cm) and place a fan of giant wind next to / under him, my laptop works perfectly.

  So I guess there is a problem with the installation of refrigeration.

  Also after 3 weeks, a USB connection was broken.
  I brought my notebook where I bought it and they send forward to a Toshiba official repair service.

  Now, I have to pay nearly 900 euros to fix.

  I think that it is a warranty case!

  I paid 1800 euros for her and not even a year later, I still pay to make it work again?

  It's the kind of warranty given by Toshiba?
  I thought Toshiba was a brand with a good customer service...? !

  Greetings

  Hi Veronica,.

  Certainly, the symptoms you describe indicate that your laptop is overheating. You will find a lot of posts on these forums on this topic. Briefly, you need to remove the dust that is wedged between the cooling fans and the heat sink. I would recommend a vacuum cleaner pipe placed on the aspiration air grills. Alternatively you can remove the heat sink and of clear debris manually (this would nullify your warranty however).

  As for your comments on your USB port, I've also experienced this when both ports on my A30 broke. I was informed that it is treated as accidental damage and is therefore not covered by the warranty. I opted to buy a PCMCIA USB adapter card which was much cheaper than the cost of the repair.

• Satellite P10 randomly turns off

  Hello

  I had my laptop since new for about 1 and a half years now, and only about 2 months, my laptop keeps turning off itself without warning or anything? I really doubt that it's a virus I have norton and also have ad-aware program running all the time.
  I think it may be the laptop overheating? or the material is damaged?

  Can someone tell me what I must do to overcome the problem please?

  Thanks Dan

  Hi Daniel,.

  Random power thresholds are always a sign of overheating. All other problems occur a controlled stop or restart.

  It is likely that your laptop is an accumulation of dust and fluff partially block the heatsink from the CPU. You can try to remove it with an inner pipe of the vacumm cleaner pointed at the gates of suction air under your laptop. Do not try to remove it through the rear exit gates because that will make the problem worse.

  If this does not work, then you will need to remove the radiator to clean, but I hope this won't be necessary.

  Kind regards

• Satellite P10 554 does not start

  Hello!

  First of all, sorry for my bad English

  The problem:

  I installed windows XP Professional on my Satellite P10 554.
  I bought it on ebay and the seller said that everything goes well with this laptop and the tests when I turn on the laptop saying the same thing.

  But after installing XP, it does not start!
  It is the boot screen with the blue line that moves. This line moves a little, that it stop and that all the time and nothing happens!
  I tried the same thing with XP home, and windows 2000, but it has the same problem!
  I really need this phone. I hope someone can help me!

  Christian

  > I bought it on eBay and the seller said that if everything goes well with this laptop and the tests when I turn on the laptop saying the same thing.

  You said that the test says it of ok. How did you test it?

  > It's the boot screen with the blue line that moves.

  You mean the OS bar which moves while loads the OS. Am I wrong?
  Hmm, if you have tested the laptop with Win XP and W2K then I guess that you have installed the two OS on this laptop and it was possible to install it?
  Am I wrong?

  Sorry to say but if the laptop is unable to load the operating system the hardware would be a malfunction.
  I think you should first check the memory modules, then the HARD drive. Maybe one of the modules does not work correctly or some bad sectors can cause the problem.

• Satellite P10 554 LAN wireless connection

  Hello people,

  I have a laptop Satellite P10 554. I'm not able to get the wireless LAN. I have a Netgear wireless modem and a Netgear USB wireless "receiver". I have configured the entire setup and switched 'on' switch wireless on the left side of the laptop. Nothing happened. The light on the left side on the laptop that shows the availability of the wireless network never radiated.

  I have installed and inserted into the mobile network.

  Please advise on how should I proceed to get the wireless LAN working.

  Thank you in advance.
  Matel

  Hello

  As far as I know that the Wireless LAN is optional on this unit. This means that the appliance has been delivered without wireless card, but it s can put the card in the laptop.
  Are you sure that your device has a wireless card? You can check in the Device Manager. In addition, must be on the wireless network by using the switch on the side of the laptop and the key combination FN + F8.

  Please check these options.

  Good bye

• Satellite P10 554 stops after a few minutes and I can not restart

  Hello
  I hope someone can help me with my satellite P10 554
  When I start the laptop, everything is working fine a few minutes. the monitor turns black and the books suddenly stops. I can't restart, when I push the Start button, nothing happens.

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

  Help me please, cause I need my phone to work!

  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.

• The screen of my laptop turns off when windows start. What is the cause and how can I fix it?

  Original title: computer failure

  the screen of my laptop turns off when windows start. What is the cause and how can I fix it. Thank you

  You have the screen image out to another monitor (one that is not plugged in fact). How you pass to the internal laptop display varies, but most cell phone companies make a combination of keys, such as Fn + F6 or something.  Looking for a symbol that looks like a monitor.  It is usually color coded and requires activation of a Fn key.

• Satellite P10 - 554 dvd - ram does not work

  I got a Satellite P10 554, and as I said above the RAM does not work.
  It should be a software problem, because if I reinstall the drivers it works a few minutes (it did until now yesterday it stopped completely)
  It is impossible to install the new drivers or update a firmware somehow
  (pilot: after rebooting, the old drivers are loaded again (but I uninstalled them))
  (firmware update: I still got the message: invalid drive to update f/w)

  I hope that someone of you can help me ;)

  Hello

  What did you mean with the work of t car doesn?
  You are not able to burn or read the media?

  The error message says it all. I think you re not able to update the firmware because the firmware is not supported on this drive.

  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then shut down the laptop.
  Usually after restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again.
  If this does not help, you can try to remove the drive from the laptop. Turn on the unit, then go into windows. The reader should disappear. Then stop and reset the drive in the notebook. After this procedure the laptop must load the firmware again.

  It will be useful.

• Questions about Satellite P10 554

  Hello

  I have 2 questions about my P10-554. I read on this forum but can't find anything that helps out me.

  First of all:
  When I try to turn the unit off after working, using even the closing of xp function or the power button, windows normally quit, but when it needs to turn off just reboot again. If I repeat the closing down directly after this restart, normally it turns off.
  This problem occur only when I use the power supply in battery mode.
  I can't say that to me...

  Second:
  I have a mini PCI Wlan card for my unit, works very well, but I wonder if it is possible to get the Wlan switch switch work whith it? Or is it only possible whith some special maps? It is not so important, but it would be nice to know if there is a trick or something to get the switch used.

  Best regards
  Gabbagandalf

  Hello

  Regarding your first question;
  I'm a bit confused of m are sure you n t use the restart option?
  I never noticed anything like that on my laptop

  Usually, if I use the Shut down option, I can choose between standby, hibernation, restart and shutdown. If I use the stop that the laptop turns off as it should.
  Maybe it's time to s for a reinstallation of the OS?

  On the second question.
  The switch on the left side for laptop was designed and developed to pass on the WLan card antenna.
  Usually, you should be able to use this switch and to toggle WLan card functionality

  Don t understand why it should not work?  :|

• Front logo satellite X 200 turned off!

  Hello

  How old is the machine? And since when the logo light up?

  I think something with your hardware is not OK because this logo lights up at any time, and if it doesn't then you should find the nearest [Authorized Service Partner | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT] and bring your machine.

• Satellite A200 just turns off

  I have a satellite A200 that keeps turning off...

  first of all, it wouldn't start up, so removed the battery and plugged directly to AC and then it started again.

  Now, he just stops... It seems to be not too hot...

  What are the problems and solutions...

  Computer is 19 months old and it's very frustrating...

  Hello

  In most cases, the blocked cooling modules are the reason for the higher temperature and why the laptop turns off automatically.
  You could clean the vents and cooling fans with a jet of compressed air.
  This would remove the dust inside the laptop.

• Windows 7 on Satellite P10 554, need drivers

  Hello
  I installed a new Windows 7 on my Satellite P10 554.
  Now I can not find some drivers for my device, in particular for the USB device,
  who stands out, if I use an external hard drive.
  In addition, I got an error code 28 for the base systemdevice (to 2 PCI bus) and
  the performances of "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor', who is not the driver ACPI/CMP0101
  compatible with W7.
  What else can I do?

  Thanks for the reply

  Hallo Lupi

  I had Satellite P10 for the year 2003. So please don't get me wrong, but you have 6 years book, designed for Windows XP Home edition and now you ask you cannot find drivers for Win7.

  What you can do? Nothing. This oldie is not supported for Win7.
  Use the operating system that is supported and to be happy. If you want to use a more recent software I think it's time for the most recent material. ;)

  Satellite P10 is also really nice and absolutely reliable laptop.

• 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.

• 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.

  Edwin

  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.)
