Satellite P20: unit stops during playback of DVD

I JUST BOUGHT second hand satellite p20... Well I recharge the battery.
I put a dvd 3 or 4 cd (always good at the other players and cd rom) after 3 minutes or 10 minutes or less... well no reason (the battery control save energy were on "never turn off the hard disk") the laptop turn off immediately, without reason!
Like someone taking the unit off.
I tried to do the same with the battery, no battery, with battery and a link to electerc network, anyway, but the problem is the same!

Sorry for my English, I hope you understand my problem.
Please answer me quickly, so I give it back to the owner...!

Hi Paolo

Before trying what whether the device correctly. My previous unit was Satellite P20-303, and after two years, there is a lot of dust inside the unit. Maybe is the reason for closing overheating. You have second hand unit and who knows how the previous user has used the device.

  • Satellite A500D-10F stops during playback of Skyrim

    Hi guys,.

    I installed it a while ago and it failed high heat at the start of the game. After a few minutes of play, the computer laptop everything stops. No error message or anything. Meanwhile, Skyrim was still running, I noticed fan of the laptop seems to be stronger and he blew off of hot air. Reduce the display resolution works on other games when that happens, but I was hoping to maximize the ability of the laptop regarding Skyrim, as much as it is lacking in high heat. In fact I don't really understand why even the older games such as neverwinter nights 2 gives me this shutdown problems when it should play with no problems at all founded.

    Is that you could suggest that could avoid this... and not to mention having my play time go beyond 7-8 minutes that when running on the laptop... It would be just sad playing this game on 1020 x 768 when your screen can accommodate higher than resolutions :D

    Thank you

  • No sound during playback of DVD in Windows Media Player

    1. No sound during playback of DVD in Windows Media Player.

    Media Center recently stopped working altogether, the message alleges a solution will be found, but he never comes to the top with one and there seems to be no resolution right ahead of internet, I can see others too have a similar problem.

    So I would try Media Player, no joy it is thinking.

    It reads the dvd no sound, I go into options and make sure the external emu sound card is set, yes all well, but as soon as I put it on youtube videos sound turns off by train to play media player so a sort of conflict, if I close Opera / chrome browser and reopen his is back.

    Update or reinstall the drivers for the sound card in Device Manager, checking the PC or Support Downloads Web page of the card for more recent or different driver.

    Physically, reinstall the sound card to make sure that the contacts and the slots are clean and tight connections.

    If you have an audio chip embedded, try to use it to compare.

    Try the VLC media player to see if it has the same problem.

    Have you updated flash player for your browser?

    Try another browser to compare.

    Establish a clean boot, check for infection and then run the System File Checker of the steps in troubleshooting for Windows 7

    For irreparable system files, run a repair facility.

    It's much lower plant?  If so Clean Up Factory Bloatware and consider to go from worst to best with...

    Maybe it's time for a clean reinstall Windows 7?  The steps in the link provide the best possible installation.

  • Satellite P20-304 stops unexpectedly

    I have a laptop satellite P20 304 coming sometimes turns off without warning.
    The screen goes black and the power is off.

    This sometimes happens during a search, but alos is writing a letter. If not necessary a high workload for the laptop.

    Opening vents are free etc. I guess maybe an overheating problem, but wonder if this causes this kind of stop procedere.
    Also - there no poping blue screen or report failure upwards by re-start such as "the system will be re-stored after a major system crash ect.

    No idea what it could be.

    respectively, that it does not work.

    My warranty runs out in June, so I want to make sure that I can claim any defect prior to that.

    It's not very easy to say why this laptop stops. It could be an overheating problem or a malfunction of the software. But I tend to overheat.

  • Satellite Pro A10 stops during the installation of Windows

    I have a satellite Pro A10, which stops during the installation of Windows. The installation gets to the part where I need to select the HARD drive to install, then the system off just. I can restart it immediately, and the sdame happens.

    If I enter the BIOS, everything is detected OK, and I've updated to the latest version (V1.4). Also when in the BIOS, the system will remain under tension for ever and a day! and no downtime. I have a couple of diagnostic CD, then run the tests is the same thing, but I ran the seagate diagnostic tool and the HDD OK passes, as does the main map, but cannot perform detailed testing that the system shuts down during the tests.

    I suspect an overheating issue but would like advice.

    Hmmm it s very strange. I thought that the HARD drive could malfunctions but it of very impossible if the HARD drive has passed the Seagate diagnostic test.

    However, it would be very interesting to know if the installation of the OS would end with another HARD drive.
    You know, it of always difficult to provide an exact solution without any diagnostic tests.

    For me, it really looks like a hardware malfunction. So perhaps it would be advisable to contact the authorized Toshiba maintainer for a control of the laptop.
    Guys could run tests and would situate the fault quickly.

  • Satellite P20 S203 stops suddenly

    Hello

    In the last month my Satellite P20 S203 does so well, and unfortunately it seems that the problem is a hardware one (but I'm not sure, and that's why I'm writing here)

    The computer just stops suddenly (it happened 2 or 3 times in the last 30 days); every time it happened I was on the web on Firefox, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with it, and I'm also 99% sure that this is not a virus, malware or something like that, cause I formatted there are 3 months and nothing else behave in a strange way, the computer is slow or something like that.

    The last two options are that the question can be of a physical nature, or a software (as a conflict between the operating system and installed programs); I'm more to the first, but I do not know and I need assistance to find out... What should I do?

    In addition, when it stops suddenly, it won't turn with the first try.
    He needs like 10 or 20 times to open like an old car that won't start; the first, say, 5 times I try to turn it on, it appears only the toshiba logo.
    It then passes through a screen, I can not read because it goes too fast.

    Then a black screen, then it turns off again.
    With the next try that it goes a bit further, as it displays the windows logo, but as this image is fading, it stops halfway through the fading process, resulting in a darker windows logo, as it is too difficult for her to load the OS!

    But then it turns off again!

    Then after a few other attempts it finally loads windows.

    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

    OS: Windows XP SP2

    Hello

    Maybe the laptop stops due to a higher internal temperature.
    High temperature leads to an overheating of the questions and the laptop would be stops down automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.
    The other point is that the high temperature may affect the RAM modules.
    In this case the laptop computer may freeze or you will receive a Blue Screen Of Death.

    I had a similar problem in the past. About 6 years ago my first oldie started to overheat.
    I cleaned the cooling modules, but the questions again.
    Finally, I contacted the laptop technician in downtown, and he said that the thermal grease that is placed between the cooling module and the CPU must be renewed.

    He did, and it helped!

  • Satellite P20-932 stops because the temperature is too high

    When I use my Satellite P20 932 for about 30 min, temperature will rise very quickly! The laptop is automatic turning-off, without any error message.
    I try to clean the fan at the bottom of the laptop.

    I'm really desperate.

    Please help me!

    It of a just in case of overheating.
    The laptop stops automatically to prevent the laptop from damage. It seems that the temperature has risen to the critical level.

    I guess that the laptop is a little older and cooling modules and fans inside the laptop can not operate properly because of the dust and debris.
    The cleaning of the cooling modules is a great idea, but you must be careful.
    If you have no experience, ask a technician for professional cleaning.

    Additional you should be sure that there is enough free space around the laptop. It is important for the movement of air correctly.

  • My Project stops during playback

    Nice day!

    I have a project, want to post it, but when I desided to check, I saw an error - it stops the playback of the slide - when the title appears... And I have to press on ">" button to play this slide at all.

    9.JPG

    Although I can't do what they say, it would appear that you have three buttons at the bottom of the slide. The default behavior of a button is to stop playback of a slide until he was selected by the user. So this slide should not pause, you must configure the buttons so they don't break. Look at the properties panel to change this behavior.

    See you soon... Rick
