  You define 'Action close lid' to the 'status quo' instead of sleep or Shut down:
  Go to-> double click "Power Options" Control Panel-> 'Select a power plan' under your selected plan, click "Change plan settings"-> "Change plan", click on the blue link 'Change advanced power'-> in 'Advanced settings' tab expand "power buttons and lid"-> extend the action of the 'close' lid, set "on battery" and "Plugged in" to "Do nothing"-> click apply-> OK button

• Satellite M500 - closing LID off the external display

  I just bought a new M500 today. I use a TV 46 '' as external display. When I close the lid of the external screen turns off and the laptop into hibernation.
  How can I stop this I use the external screen 95% of the time?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It's just an option, you have to change the Windows power management. Go to power options, and then select the power profile you use. Change the map and scroll until the power buttons and lid-online lid close action. Change this option to do nothing. With apply then OK you save this settings.

  Now you can try it again. I must say for me that it worked because I also work with the external monitor. :)

• Double monitor turns off the second monitor in the locked mode

  Hello

  We work in an environment of support and use the installation of two monitors. Win7 heard to have good management of these settings and easy-to-use features. However at some point, something that was great went troubled.

  We can use two monitors while working on it however just its coastline turns off the second wallpaper and screen savers set if necessary. I tried to look for any change in config, but in vain. Looking for answer now here.

  Thanking you in advance.

  There is no built-in way to change this feature. When it is locked, the screen will be black. There may be some 3rd party software that can do this, but it is not supported by Microsoft.

  Are in any case, you will need to fix?

  Yes and it's pretty simple.

  Open disk management. Start, type diskmagmt.msc and press the Enter key. You will get this window.

  

  Find the external hard drive and right-click on it and select "Change Drive Letter and paths".

  Then you get this window.

  

  Click the button change.

  In the next screen, select a drive letter at the end of the alphabet, and click OK.

  Now, all once again and this time select the drive letter that you want to have external. Once you change this back to the drive letter correct LR awaits you will have never have any other reader taking this letter.

  Note the drive should be connected and powered, and it should already have the correct letter.

  If another external drive is connected you first need to disconnect the other drive and your images are on.

• Satellite M60/M55: Turns off after power loss

  Reposting because the original threads are locked.

  My M60 sometimes turns off immediately after unplugging the power supply (AC power or plug the laptop CC), instead of out on the battery even though the battery is fully charged.
  The battery is OK & the laptop starts regularly on the battery after pressing the on switch.
  The Toshiba Power Saver seems to work OK & I have the latest version of the BIOS.
  I always save my work before unplugging, but again, I do not like this behavior & would appreciate some good advice.

  Satellite M55 turns off by unplugging the power cable to unplug my laptop making rather that to the battery, my laptop will often simply turn off even though the battery is fully charged. Other time things work as it should.

  I had the motherboard replaced for another reason and was quite surprised to notice the problem after a replacement (but without reinstalling OS).
  The main suspect is the TPS and its pilot; A few months ago, a new version is released the Toshiba support site for M60 (although file dates are not fresh, and I think that I have installed this version earlier).

  So, I removed the GST and the GST pilot. I tried several times and it didn't happen again. Not even when I reinstalled the.

  During the test, I have disabled the HD write cache to avoid file corruption problems (but this slows down HD operation, particularly of hibernation).
  I don't know if it works because also earlier the computer would be closed only occasionally, not all the time. But this may be a clue in case you have this problem. If you do, please test and report the result, no matter what the result is.

  What to say dude. The problem is that this problem occurs ONLY occasionally and so it's not easy to find the real reason for these cases.

  However, I would try to give some useful advice, but first of all, it would be useful to know how old your battery.
  Fact is that batteries old and stressed loose clean performance very quickly.
  My battery is about 3 years and my laptop running on battery for 10-20 seconds even if it s fully charged. The performance is simple very low!

  On the other hand the problem could be related to faulty electronic power to the Board of Directors
  As you can see it's not easy to tell what's exactly wrong and as already suggested in other threads (locked), you should ask a technician for a control of the laptop.
  The guy could run diagnostics tests and can locate the fault.

  Best regards

• 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 A110-160 turns off by itself when im making a dvd to divx conversion

  My Toshiba A110-160 turns off by itself (abruptly) when im making a dvd to divx (autogk for example) conversion.
  This has not happened before...
  I use a bios updated to v1.7 (the latest).
  Do you think that it is because of this? I also did an upgrade (2GB, 667 mhz) memory and I use ubuntu and windows xp.
  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I Don t have a clue why the machine will stop automatically and I can't give you a quick solution, but I can give you an idea how to make some accurate diagnosis:

  Remove the newly installed module and try again. Then give some feedback if it worked. If not, he should discuss more about this issue, would appreciate some comments from you.

  Good bye

• Satellite L500 - cannot turn off the WiFi and network icon changing itself

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L500-1GL (comes with Win 32-bit =) and since I installed the latest updates I can not disable the wireless function. When I use the shortcut key to activate or disable the indicator led is turning on and off, but the wireless feature is always turned on and even the icon which shows the network connection, itself changes without doing something with it.

  A few times it shows Red Cross (as she has no connection), but says: connected. When I use wireless connecton always displays the cable connection icon. most of the time, when he should have been showing the strength of the signal.

  This is reaally annoing. Please help me solve this problem.

  Hi danihun,

  > since I installed the latest updates I can not disable the wireless function.
  The updates you have installed exactly?

  In your case, I would try a system restore to an earlier point.
  Check this box!

• Satellite L500 randomly turns off

  I bought my L500 in February 2010. Since then it has turned itself off randomly. He can go for days without doing it or just a few hours/minutes. The motherboard has been changed, but the problem persists.
  Any thoughts?

  Is this a known issue?

  Hello

  I would say it could be a RAM or overheating problem.
  A higher temperature can cause this. The sensor would be closed the laptop automatically to avoid equipment damage

  But if the motherboard was already replaced, so I recommend asking to the technician for control, Council, etc. seems the laptop is under warranty

• Satellite A210 randomly turns off

  Sorry if this has been covered before.

  My A210 works perfectly under normal conditions of use, I use it for 2 games only. World of Warcraft and sims.

  When I play either, after 5 to 10 minutes of play, the laptop lights out, as if Id held down the power button (not stop it).

  I reboot the machine, and it lights up again very well (not hanging as it does if its too hot). Then it will work very well for so long.

  Any thoughts?

  Hello

  It's really hard to say what causes these cut downs if it happens only running these two games then I guess it could be a software problem
  You can try to run tests, for example, you might check if this problem would happen after new installation the operating system recovery disc would this work

  Also, you should check if the cooling modules are not clogged with dust and debris
  You said check you t n this then maybe you should clean the fans to find out if not an overheating problem

• Satellite P200 randomly turns off by itself

  Do not know what is happening, every now and then it shuts it self without reason.

  I used recovery disks several times and it keeps doing. Very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated!

  I don't think that receives it to portable hot.
  That s a normal reason if a laptop has problems with the cooling part, and then gets it CPU hot and stop itself.

  In your case I would clean the laptop. You can use the jet of compressed air, it could blow the dust from the ventilation of cooling.
