Second SSD dies after only 13 months

Hello

I read the topic of the 'death of SSD on Aspire S7' on this forum.

Having posted the following comments on it I thought that I would do better to start a new and share my progress with you.

----

I read with interest the previous comments on the early failure rate, but what are the chances to get a reliable drive before the warranty runs out?

I had the SSD on my M5 fail after about 7 months. Acer it replaced under warranty, but it has just failed again one month out of warranty. So 2 doesn't have a SSD in 13 months. Tech support said there is nothing they can do, but take care to have a replacement mounted. This doesn't seem fair to me. Not all happy.

I'm waiting now dept UK_Escalations get back to me.

--------

Sent the complaint to the UK_Escalations 29/09/13 23:17 UK

Receipt notification, 30/09/13 12.09 UK, the complaint received by them and an officer will be assigned to me shortly.

10/01/14 16:50 UK.  I'm still waiting to hear from the officer.

Hi all

  • Tecra A8 - 103 - battery flat after only 14 months

    After just 14 months on my Tecra battery appears to be dead. I said 'just' because of, I got Toshiba Satellite and after 2 years of daily work, on Satellite battery lasted longer than on Tecra Tecra,!
    Seems to be more geared towards professionals then Satellite Tecra? Hmmm

    In any case, I really tried to keep the battery in good shape, that is why, at least once a week, I plugged the power cord off and Tecra to run on battery, just to let the battery, at least once a week completely empty left and then recharged.

    But he was evidently just wasting time, because of, the battery now lasts 7-8 minutes!

    The question is: what is the time 6/12/xx months? Toshiba ensures the battery will last as it should when the computer is new?

    I mean, this isn't a problem, I'll buy the new battery, but I'm really disappointed by this situation. I wasn't expecting Toshiba!

    Hello

    As far as I know EACH laptop manufacturing offers only _one year warranty for the battery packs_.
    Why? Because it s nothing unusual that the battery would start to lose own performance after a period of use.

    AFAIK after over 500 times of loading/unloading procedures, the battery will begin to lose performance.
    This means reduces the battery life and someday you need to replace.

    My computer laptop doesn t work on battery power. The power of the battery takes about 2 min same it s fully charged. I know that I should replace, but I use this laptop as desktop Pc. It s always plugged in.

  • Is it possible to remove photoshop after only one month?

    Hello

    I need photoshop for a project of the UK but only for a week or two. Is it possible to cancel my account after the first month without having to pay for the entire year?

    Thanks in advance,

    Harriet

    If you are on a monthly plan, you can cancel without penalty. If you are on an annual plan, then there may be a penalty for early termination. Please see:

    FAQ: How to cancel my membership creative cloud?

    FAQ: What is the difference between an annual plan and monthly plan?

    FAQ: Where can I find the terms of membership and the terms of use?

    If you cancel within the first 14 days of an annual plan, you will probably get a full refund.

  • Satellite L670 - hard drive dead after only 8 months

    Hello

    This morning I return my laptop due to defective hard drive problem. After 8 months, he is already dead.

    The positives are: I'm still under warranty and the second the software toshiba hilighted me from time to time, allowing me to back up my data before the crash. TKS Toshiba for this very useful tool.

    The question is: how a hard drive die that fast after fews month only?

    Bad luck or bad use? I wonder.

    I wish to have feedback from those L670 who owns the same model (windows 7), to understand if this problem is common or if I was unfortunately concerned.

    Also, if there are possible solutions to avoid the stress of the HD for daily use? As for example, reduce writing on this subject (save blu - ray using AnyDvD HD on hd, then cut & paste for external hard drive), or connect too often external hard drive in order to avoid the extra electricity if necessary?

    In the future, I have to perform chkdsk more often? Defrag? If Yes, how often?

    This is my 3rd phone dying, Sony VAIO = mothercard dead after 1.2 years, Fujitsu Amilo xi = exploded after 3 years and now Toshiba HD after 8 months.

    900EUR up to 1600EUR, I do not see significant resistance of one of these models, Sony was the badest ever in terms of longevity of the video card and compatibility (unplayable games after 2 months, no update of the driver), keyboard 'paint' was a mess with deterioration after fews month compared to Fujitsu and Toshiba (no points). Toshiba L670 most recent, was the best in terms of game compatibility.

    What should do? Stop buying the laptop or use only fews hours a day with a PC on top?
    For time beeing I can't afford to have a PC + a computer laptop that I'm unemployed, surviving with 10EUR per day.
    time to find a new job.

    Despite this, I managed to buy the new book of the cooler Zelman for my Toshiba 40/50EUR all about, but it did not help apparently.

    TKS for your comments about life duration L670 and particularly problem HD + best use to protect it.

    Guillaume

    In my opinion the answer is clear: no chance.

    In any case, don t think too much on the use of the laptop. Cell phone is designed to operate for a long period, then there is no reason to reduce the time to use on your Toshi.
    I use my laptop to work on a daily basis and it works at least 10 hours a day, sometimes one night too many.
    Just be careful that your laptop is placed on the desktop, the cooling fans must not be blocked by what it is.
    All that s.

  • I think that my rocket died after only two months

    Hi, I do not get my rocket to show me the signs of life and more.

    Two days ago, I forgot to turn off so the battery was as empty as it can get. I fully charged it yesterday, but when I used my rocket for half an hour some time ago, he went himself after an end of the song. I couldn't get it working again and it does not even react now that I plugged on may PC (the USB Ports at the back!).

    Y at - it something left, I could try to revive?

    Sounds like it's just frozen.  Keep the switch ON for 10-15 seconds, release and new power.  It is the function of soft reset .

  • Satellite C855-18J-battery low after only 9 months

    Hi all

    I bought my C855-18J Satellite in October, there is, so just 9 months, and since last night, I get the message to consider changing my battery! I've never seen a battery that doesn't last even a year... How is that possible? and if I want a new one it's more expensive than 100dollars (excluding P & P)...

    They are now on low batteries?

    It is my first Toshiba computer (used from other brands before).

    > I've never seen a battery that doesn't last even a year... How is that possible?
    Possible is everything

    > and if I want a new one, it is more expensive than 100dollars (excluding P & P)...
    As far as I know the laptop is covered by the standard warranty that is valid 12 months.
    Then why you n t contact your dealer or a service of Toshiba and ask the new part/difficulty under conditions of warranty?

    In my eyes without any doubt the best solution here

    Acrobat 8.1.4 dies after 10 seconds.  This is new behavior today after running fine for months on Windows XP/SP3.  No matter if Acrobat is opened indirectly through an opening of file in Explorer or directly from a shortcut or start / programs.  Sometimes I can get an open file but don't have no time to do something with it before disappears from the Acrobat window.  Related previous discussions the same problem on a Mac have no idea.  I see no error reports, no Dr. Watson, no Windows, nothing Adobe event.  I'm not aware of any change in the system for at least several days, including updates of Windows that would have required Admin approval before you download and install.  Don't have not yet deleted and reinstalled but other reports suggest that it is only a temporary fix if anything.  Ideas?  Or Adobe suggests that I've upgrade to V9?

    You could try doing a repair Acrobat (under the Help menu) installation first. Here are some additional troubleshooting tips - such as deleting the tmp files that Acrobat checks during the startup process.

  • Portege R30 does not SSD start after upgrade SSD and HDD

    Hello

    I have improved my Portege R30 - A to add a second SSD (Crucial M550) replace the optical with the new SSD drive with caddy.

    But now the system does not start automatically from the original SSD.

    I could press F12 while turning on my laptop and make it appear the start guide. Here I can see my original SSD and I can boot from it properly.

    In order to boot in the BIOS, I see only the HDD/SSD, USB, ODD memory... It doesn't gives me the possibility to choose between SSDS.

    In any case when I boot in this way than getting blue screens after awhile in win7.

    I tried to install a HARD drive as the second drive instead os SSD and her resut is the same.

    Is that what I can do to solve this, now I have to use the second drive as an external USB drive.

    Thank you

    Hello

    This ODD of SSD/HDD replacement is not always possible and in many cases, the BIOS will not handle and will not recognize the new HARD disk correctly.

    That I can remember some old laptops Toshiba Tecra and Portege that supported the functionality of Slim Select Bay were able to manage the 2nd HARD drive instead of driving WEIRD, but this was not possible due to the available selection slim Bay.

    In your case it looks like the laptop so that the BIOS does not support this function and, therefore, the additional SSD/HDD isn't recognised correctly.

  • Adding second SSD to envy 14

    Hello, I recently bought a HP Envy spectrum 3010NR (?) (128 GB SSD, i7) and I was wondering what the process would be to add a second SSD on my own?

    I found a manual online (thanks to this site =)) that details how to get to the SSDS (for some reason, I can't post the link of the PDF, but there simply shows how to access the SSD drives and gives a part number 675508-001 for the 128 GB SSD). 33 page I think. Sorry, I don't know why it wouldn't bind.

    I then used the references listed in this guide to find spares (a second SSD for the empty disc) on HPs website and found this, however being a big enough SSD at a price as cheap (most other SSD, I found online were double this price), I was suspicious that I was looking at the wrong part Maybe? Can anyone confirm this to be the correct SSD, I need, and they ordered this on the site before for envys them?

    In addition, I have to update the BIOS settings, or change other settings of the computer, before I could access the storage space, someone had this type of operation performed with their envys?

    Thank you very much for your time and assistance!

    Hi guys and girls (if applicable)

    I have good news for all fans of HP Envy 14 spectrum if you had any doubts, you can install more than 256 GB of SSD.

    The answer is YES, but more probably final success will depend on the brand of the drive you choose. If I were you, I'd go for Samsung I did. Not only are they (in my opinion) the best SSDS now, but also, these are they that HP uses in your computer to build factory, but to the point...

    I have two models model HP Envy 14 spectrum 3100 and 3200 and in the two tof them I managed to install two new SSD hard drive of 250 GB Samsung EVO mSata and 1 TB Samsung EVO mSata!

    Both have same configuration with system of 250 GB and 1 TB as s storage drive and the two running with Windows 7, although they already are with this piece of crap Win8. So I put matching drivers and everything works flawlesly for several months now. No problem with suddenly disappear SSD or any type of strange events or suspected.

    It may be that helpful to someone who needs more space and wants to spend this beautiful machine.

  • My laptop (Dell Inspiron only 3 months old) is displayed on an external monitor, but not on the laptop screen. I am running Windows 7.

    My laptop (Dell Inspiron only 3 months old) is displayed on an external monitor, but not on the laptop screen. I am running Windows 7. It was running and display very well last night. When I turned on this morning the monitor lit up but show just a gray-white screen and no office. When I attached an external monitor, I could see desktop and all other programs and Windows 7 routines seem to work very well.

    MB

    Press the Windows logo key and the p key, and then set up the PC to display on the built-in monitor only cycle through with the arrow key.  You can make this Store if you want - key Windows-p, right arrow once, paused for a few seconds & the laptop monitor should then appear normally.

    You can do so at the end of each session using the external display while you are ready for the use of the laptop on its own later.

  • Photoshop CC 2015 30 seconds + SSD boot caught up on 'reading Preferences.

    Hello I am currently using an i7 retina Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz, 16 GB memory DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce gt 650M 1024Mo

    CC of Photoshop is taking approx. It takes about 30 seconds to load and gets the brand "Reading Preferences" after only a few seconds. So, it hangs at 'Reading Preferences' for another + 25 seconds.

    I have no plug-ins. I completely did a new install of Photoshop CC without saving the presets, I have my change of graphics turned off on my MBP, I disabled the font previews and validated my fonts using the font book. I uninstalled all previous versions of Photoshop, I had installed. I'm still lost.

    I can open Photoshop and it will take 30 seconds... Immediately close and reopen and there about 7 seconds... Close again and it goes back to 30 sec...

    I have the same problem on my new iMac that has been cloned to my MBP.
