Satellite P10-804 - power off without reason

I have a problem where my laptop suddenly turns off without any reason at all. Most of the time it turns itself in the upper left corner of my laptop get really hot and it's too hot around the area where you insert the CD. Although, sometimes it can only leave after I ve had lit a few minutes.

Some suggestions say that there could be a problem with the cooling system or the fan.

Please can someone offer me advice or suggestions?
Please help as I had only the laptop to 18 months now and she probably shouldn't t do it suits it?

Hello

I think you're already on the right track. 18 months is a long period of collecting dust so it could just be overheating. Check the intakes for the dust.
I've seen suggestions to use a vacuum cleaner to suck up dust from the mouths of - I would not recommend myself because there is a chance that the fan may be damaged, but it could be a way for you.

Good luck

  • Satellite P10 804: how to remove the HARD drive?

    I would like to remove the internal hard disk of 60 GB of my satellite P10 804 and replace it with a bigger drive, but cannot find a way to enter in the case of removing the HARD drive.

    Does anyone have the details on how to do?

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the HARD drive must be placed under the optical dirve.
    To remove the HARD drive, first remove the battery and the optical drive, and then follow the steps below:

    1. remove the four black screws that anchor the shield of aluminum covering the HARD drive and pull it out.
    2. gently pull on the HARD drive the front panel of the computer to disconnect the system board, then pull it out.
    3. remove the four silver screws that attach the HARD drive to the HARD disk case.

    But be careful. If you have no experience ask someone with more experience in these replacements.

  • Satellite P10 804 will not accept the upgrade of RAM

    Apologies, this is it is a bit long and also if this question has been covered elsewhere here: I had a good nose autour and have not found something that seems to help.

    In any case, I had a Satellite P10 804 during these past years, I bought in the United Kingdom.

    Quite early in my time with this laptop, I upgraded the RAM. It was 3 or 4 years ago, when memory was not as cheap right now, so I bought just a single 1 GB module. P10-804 will take up to 2 GB of RAM.

    The P10 804 came with 512 GB as standard in two modules. My upgrade means I got 1.25 GB, which was in very good health. Everything was fine until the end of last year when the defective laptop; I followed the fault in module 1 GB of RAM. It was a bit awkward since I now live in New Zealand. However, the provider of the RAM was very professional, stood by their warranty, and we arranged a swap. RAM prices had fallen, so I bought another module of 1 GB at the same time upgrade the laptop completely.

    Now the problems really started. The laptop would not simply work with the new installed RAM modules. It would work with one alone, nor even less with my old configuration of a module of 1 GB and 256 GB module. Start and run for five minutes before a freeze; white screen with fans roar; blue screen; frozen screen normal with strange objects; No start at all. everything.

    Everything that works now is my original 256 MB module (his partner disappeared). This leads me to assume that I don't have some sort of hardware failure?

    1 GB modules are DDR333 SODIMM, CL2.5. This laptop will also have the DDR266 modules, and it has been suggested to me, lower speed might work. I can try this option since the RAM prices are * really * low now, especially if I get confirmation of this as a valid strategy possible.

    The laptop BIOS is updated to v2.00 (maybe?), and I also upgraded the HDD to a 120 GB unit (this works very well and is partitioned for XP and Linux). And from time to time I empty the fan.

    Any advice welcome. Thanks for reading.

    Reading your message, I came to the conclusion that this issue must be linked to the new RAM module and this module is malfunctioning or is not fully compatible with your laptop.

    The P10 can be upgraded to 2 GB, so you should be able to use two single RAM 1 GB modules

    So it must be a module problem

  • Satellite P10 804 upgrading wireless card

    Hello

    Ive been trying to find a list of compatible wireless cards to upgrade my Satellite P10 804 but can't find.

    The wireless card is a Toshiba PA3171U-1MPC, but it does not have the standard 802.11 G and no WPA security.

    Anyone know of the good cards replacement that will work on my laptop?

    Ive met this one but I'm not sure if it's compatible or not because I can't find any compatibility for it info: PA3416U-1MPC

    Thank you

    Mark

    Hello

    I think that the PA3416U-1MPC should be compatible.
    I mean the laptop supports wireless Mini-PCI network card and PA3416U-1MPC is a Mini-PCI wireless network card.

    The WLan antenna behind the screen of the laptop computers must be connected to the connectors on the wireless Mini-PCI network card.
    Both connectors are identified with MAIN and auxiliary normally a white cable goes to the ESSENTIAL and a black at the entrance to THE

  • How to make a wireless upgrade on Satellite P10 804 card

    I have a satellite P10 804 and it has a 802. 11B wireless card built (only part no PA3171U-1MPC). It's too slow to stream multimedia from my office. My router has capacity G + and I would like to update my wireless card to be somewhere near the same speed. The upgragdeable of cards is integrated (easily)? If so, is the PA3374U-1MPC card compatible? and how can I change?
    Thank you
    Shaun

    Hello

    Yes, surely. You can improve it, but you should not use original toshiba parts. You can enter a Wi - Fi card with the standard of g on ebay for example and install it yourself. the wireless LAN card must be placed on the bottom of your machine behind a cover that is fixed with a screw.

    I suggest, if you plan to buy a new one, take an atheros card because they are affordable, they are stable cards and chipsets quality is very good (send/receive/you connecting to a network) If you can´t do something wrong with an atheros chipset.

  • Satellite P10-304 power until now

    Hello

    Got the machine Satellite P10-304, which won't turn on after the 2nd attempt. What happened: -.

    Machine power of cold - booted Windows XP ok start. After 5-10 minutes, the machine screen is dimmed (resembles backlight is gone) and couldn't turn off the machine by pressing button, so had to remove the battery to kill machine power.

    Now machine won't turn on (same battery fully charged), when I pressed the power button, I get a light flashed orange once inside the circle of blue light around power button / stop.
    Leave the machine shut down for about an hour and machine started in the BIOS screen, then after 3 minutes the screen is dimmed. Machine unbootable. Checked AC adapter and get 19.3Volts and 6.1Amp for power unit ok.

    Looks like the motherboard plays up and needs to be replaced? Dose - that someone has encountered this problem before?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    > Sounds like the motherboard plays up and needs to be replaced?
    Yes, it seems so :(

    Maybe it s not the motherboard, but another part of the material. But to be honest, you should go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check the laptop to determine what the problem is exactly.

  • Satellite P10 804 is over heating and cutting

    My Satellite P10-0804 seems to be stopping down to often cause of overheating.

    I guess that there is a thermostat to control it.

    Is there away that I can fix this, without sending the unit?

    Changing the setting in the "Toshiba Power Management Utility" can improve things? With that, I don't see much possibility to change settings if the unit is plugged into current alternative.

    -In the "Advanced" tab, there is a selection for the "method Colling", default value 'Max Performance Mode' which is the best choice or can it be changed to 'Mid Performance Mode' or 'silent '?

    Hello

    No, you should not change some settings powersaver. Simply do the following:

    1. take a brush and a can with compressed air (which can be obtained in every electronics store)
    2. use the brush to clean the outer holes the cooling system for your processor
    3. use the bottle with compressed air to blow some air trough the cooling modules, I guess they must be really clobbed with dust
    4. If the product overheats again then go to a computer technician who is familiar with the mobile computing systems and let it clean the CPU cooling system correctly, including the fat CPU cooling

  • Satellite C660 - crack in display without reason

    Hello

    I got laptop series satellite C of Media markt Netherlands 20.09.2012 last month.

    20-09-2012(Thu-8:45 PM): I bought the laptop
    21-09-2012(Fri-11:00 PM): I'm trying to install the operating system and run in the @ & 'lack of shift key. It is a clear defect in the system in the first place.
    22-09-2012(Sat-4:30 PM): I took the laptop to the store and asked for a replacement. The helpdesk team simply changed the settings and said that it had been fixed, and gave me the pack.
    22-09-2012(Sat-7:00 PM): when I tried to connect again to my laptop I found the cracked screen.

    When I searched on the Web site I found many face the same question.
    But at least a few months after years.
    But a new laptop without even using a single day becoming unusable is not fair.

    Now I wonder to pay more than half of the actual price of the laptop for repair.
    I firmly believe that I received a defective part of the laptop and request now to pay for it.

    Either, I want a replacement for the one I bought, or do I want to go back to my laptop and get my money back.
