Satellite Pro started to stop abruptly without warning

Hello

Can someone advise me, I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop, it is around the age of 13 months, and he began to stop abruptly without warning.
It seems to be when I run high processor applications.

I have 3 questions,

(1) it is first of all, this laptop will always be covered by the warranty, even if he is 13 months old?

(2) is it a simple fix for this problem of overheating?

(3) I looked online and it seems to be a very common problem with Toshiba laptops, has there been a recall on all models?

Thanks for any help you can give me?

> 1) the first is, this laptop will always be covered by the warranty, even if he is 13 months old?
Standard warranty covers portable duration 12 months. If you didn t buy additional coverage then the manufacturer's warranty no longer valid.
But in my country, the dealer covers the portable 24 months long then maybe you should ask your dealer for info.

(> 2) is there a simple fix for this problem of overheating?
Well, the temperature could be higher because of the dust and debris inside the cooling rack.
You could possibly solve this cleaning fans and cooling grids. I use the jet of compressed air. This could help you as it helped me

(> 3) I looked online and it seems to be a very common problem with Toshiba laptops, has there been a recall on all models?
This isn't a problem common with Toshiba notebook but unusual for all series of laptops from all brands.
After a while the debris may clog the cooling system because the cooling fans are always placed at the bottom of the unit.
It is advisable to clean the fans from time to time to ensure good air circulation.

  • Satellite Pro A210 periodically stop the monitor

    Hi, my computer laptop Satellite Pro A210 periodically stop his monitor. I can work now what, whether it seems no matter what I do, the monitor turns off just.
    I checked the Device Manager and there is no device showing conflict. I bought the new laptop about six weeks ago and it is very annoying that it does. Anyone had similar problems with their A210?

    I contacted Toshiba and I hope that they will be committed to fix my laptop.

    Thank you.

    This is very interesting thread because I m the owner of a Satellite A210 with dual OS (Vista and XP) and didn t notice such problem with XP or Vista.

    Of course, the screen goes black after a while but this is related to my energy saving settings. I ve set the power of my wide display settings to save power while working on the battery.

    I don't know if this could be the reason for your question, but it's certainly an option m.

    You can also try to update the BIOS and the graphics driver to check if it would help solve the problem you also.

    Good luck to you

  • Satellite Pro M10 suddenly stopped starting or to reach the POSITION

    Hi all, hope someone can help or advise me on what to do.
    My Pro M10 suddenly stopped starting or to reach the POSITION.
    When the switch is pressed, green light turns on and stays on and that of about it, no display and not even the rotation of the fan to the top. :(

    Funniest, it is the battery always fresh and is fine.
    As you know, this model is out of warranty now and I'm technically minded and disassembled laptops before so I don't mind open my machine.

    Just thought I would ask here first before doing so.
    Hope someone can point me in the right direction of what's wrong, have heard a rumor that the M10 with a video fault, but surely would not stop the machine POST'ing would still.

    Thank you very much

    Hi Jay,.

    Difficult to pin-point your problem remotely as you will understand, however, I expect the laptop either emit a series of beeps (in a type long, short of the boss) or else Flash HQ led to give some clues as to the reason for the failure of the POST.

    First I'll try to remove/replace the modules of RAM, hard disk and also the optical drive to see if it improves the situation. Otherwise, I would tend to suspect the motherboard failure.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro A40 guard stop with the ATI driver error message

    My girls having some problems with her laptop and get back to Uni at the end of week for me to have a look on.

    Basically, he keeps closing sometimes with an ATI graphics driver error message. I had updated the memory last Christmas and resinstalled from scratch.

    My first impressions are it is overheating and I probably need to clean the fan, was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

    Thank you very much

    Satellite Pro A40 is about 3 years old and it is possible that the unit needs to be cleaned. If the appliance is used intensively, I assume that there is more dust inside. By overheating of the appliance stops suddenly without any warning.

    As a first step the device. I don't know if it's the right idea to do it alone, but if you are familiar with laptops, you can give a try. After having done that, your daughter should carefully watch what happens the next few days.

  • Satellite Pro A10 just turned off with warning message

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A10 I've had for about 2 years now. During the 2 ~ 3 days I started to have a problem very serious and boring, and you're doing something to run MS word thro to play to a very high technical game (this game can be played on an old 486 no probs) the laptop after about 20 minutes (may vary) usage turns off just with warning message it immediately restarts without any problems and then after different durations down again and again :, (. everything got a clue what the hell happens, please help. :))

    Hello Colin

    Portable described behavior is specific to the overheating of the material. If the laptop is not properly cooled the temperature of the material at the level critical and just turns off without warning.

    Solution is cleaning. The device must be cleaned and dust should be removed. After doing this unit can take a new breath and you won't have this problem again. You will see that run cooling fan will also soften than before.

    The Web camera integrated on my Satellite Pro L500 stopped working with the following message:

    The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe for more details.
    The event log points to microsoft.vc80.openMP.

    Could someone tell me please how to fix the web camera. I use it very rarely, so I don't know exactly when it has stopped working.
    Thank you.

    Hey,.

    What do you think about reinstalling the webcam software? Maybe it will work

    Please see the Toshiba driver download page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Just search your laptop model and the available downloads. If you find it, download the new Camera Assistant Software but before you install it, first remove the old version and restart your computer.

  • Satellite Pro U400-13D stops several times

    Hello world

    I only use the Satellite Pro U400-13D for office work. In the last days the laptop turns off without warning during normal operation.
    After a reboot, the problem recurs after a random time.

    This is known issue? What can I do about it?

    Thank you

    Alexander Lorenz

    Hello Alexander

    In General, this can happen on each laptop model and can be caused by different reasons. It can happen due to overheating or maybe some malfunction of the equipment.
    On this path, it is certainly not easy to offer accurate diagnosis or explanation why this happen.

    Have you noticed unusual behavior in front of your laptop turns off?
    Is it when some software is running?
    Portable temperature (surface where your hands are placed) is higher than usual?

  • L50-B05C satellite crashing while gaming - black screen without warning

    Laptop Toshiba Satellite L50-B05C crashing
    I write because there is no section of series B in the section.

    The laptop is 2 months old and has just recently been crashing (blacken off instantly, screen) without warning when I play a game.
    It had worked perfectly in these games until about a week ago.

    Use CPU, memory and disk are all weak, so I have no idea of what is happening.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    I write because there is no section of series B in the section.

    Just FYI: it is an L series (L50- xxxx)

    The laptop is 2 months old and has just recently been crashing (blacken off instantly, screen) without warning when I play a game.

    Have you noticed a temperature higher while gaming?
    I guess that the laptop automatically stops due to the higher internal temperature.
    This is nothing unusual if the temperature is too high... the laptop would shut down to prevent the equipment from damage...

    Try this:
    Go to advanced windows power options and reduce the max CPU performance at 90-95%
    In addition to change the cooling method for: performance.

    I would also recommend to check if fans and the vents are not clogged with dust...

    I'm not sure where you live but in my country, the temperature is currently very high and I guess it's really hard to cool the internal parts and to maintain the temperature of the low laptop

  • 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.

    Hello

    How did you notice this problem? You get an error message or something else?

    It's really hard to say why this happens, but first I would try to update the driver for the webcam. You can get the latest version on the Toshiba site:

    Install the latest version and try again.

    By the way: you run factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?

  • Satellite Pro A60 - update the BIOS without OS

    I have a Satellite Pro A60, trying to install XP pro but says he needs the BIOS update, downloaded the new update, unzipped and that one file, will not start until no bootable files.

    There is currently no OS on the laptop, I understand that I need an ISO file but where is she... !...

    Hello

    Why you need to update the BIOS?
    I doubt that XP installation says that you need to update.

    Normally the update of the BIOS is a bit risky and must be that if she of really necessary. In addition the update of the BIOS can only be done from Windows. There is no DOS version, they available only authorized for service providers.

  • Satellite L300D continues to go off without warning

    I've had my Toshiba Satellite L300D for a month, and recently he continues to go off without warning.
    I don't know what to do as this continues to be between 3 seconds to turn on the laptop and 5 hours to turn on the laptop.

    What should I do?

    The laptop gets hot? Did you check that?

    Maybe the laptop gets hot because dust blocks the air flow in cooling assembly. You can clean it with a jet of compressed air, that you can buy at a computer retailer. This could blow the dust from the ventilation of cooling.

    Also, make sure that it is enough free space around the laptop.

  • Satellite Pro T130 - WLAN stops working on battery

    WLAN in Toshiba Satellite Pro T130 will not properly work on battery
    Toshiba Satellite Pro T130 with Windows 7-64 bit

    My Realtek RTL8191se card stops working when the notebook computer is on battery power. Everything is OK on the socket. On battery it works OK for a few seconds/minutes and then drop connectivity. The driver is 2015.1.427.2010 - the latest version.

    I disabled the settings related to energy-saving WLAN cards.

    Any ideas on how to find the cause of this problem?

    Thanks in advance

    Chaouki

    Hey Buddy,

    Well, generally, I would suggest that you should disable Windows in energy saving power management feature, but you have already done this... Make sure that this power WLAN economic option is set for maximum Performance, even for the battery mode and all power profiles!

    And what BIOS up-to-date? You have the latest version of the BIOS installed or using an older version?

  • Satellite L300-1AS - Wireless disappears completely without warning

    I got underway, but annoyingly intermittent problems with the wireless on my laptop. I got it since Dec. 24.

    Basically, I have days/weeks of use with no problems, then, without warning, the wireless disappeared completely. He won't let me fix the usual channels, or it will show even the laptop with the ability to be wireless!

    After I restarted the laptop, it still does not work, but then through the repair process, he said that wireless capability is turned off!

    First, are there any patches to this?
    Secondly, any ideas how my laptop tells himself to turn off my wireless?

    It is a pretty big problem for me because I don't use the internet a hell of a lot.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello!

    In my view, this could be also a problem of router then make a day first firmware. You can find it on the site of the factory.
    Turn off the features of security as a hidden SSID, MAC address filtering and so far. Just to test, it perhaps is the problem.

    As said by Akuma, update your WLAN driver and update your BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:

    I hope one of these tips can solve the problem.
