My Satellite L500 suddenly shuts off

Hi all!
I need help!!! my computer suddenly shuts off and I have no idea why!!!
TOSHIBA L500-22R

Beside the tests mentioned by Macius I guess the notebook shuts OFF due to high internal temperature.
Some background info: the notebook supports some kind of overheating protection. In case the temperature increase to a higher level, this protection prevents the hardware from damage.
I dont know how old your notebook is but I guess you never cleaned the cooling ventilators.
This should be done from time to time because the dust could affect the cooling performance.
Clean the fans and cooling grilles using a compressed air spray. Such air sprays can be ordered online or purchased from common computer dealers.

The iPad is telling you it has entered the recovery mode - you need to follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 for connecting to a computer running iTunes by way of the recovery mode.

Keyboard lights suddenly shut off

I'm a noob with an early 2011 MBP 13" i7 running Lion and I've noticed that the keyboard backlight has started to suddenly shut off randomly.
It's only happened a couple times and the last time it did I actually could turn it back on by pressing the correct button, but the time before that I had to restart the thing.
Am I crazy or is my mac posessed?

Hello Dave the Revelator!
Have you checked in the System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard "automatically illuminate keyboard in low light"? If yes, it is normal. When the light sensor is receiving bright light, the keyboard lightening is switched off.

After I upgrade maverick my display will suddenly shut off but my sounds is still working. Need help on this? Thank you

Hello rodamitjr,
It sounds like your iMac display will turn off unexpectedly, but you can tell the computer is still on because you hear audio.
I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays. This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to an external display. I recommend reviewing the full article, but this step specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
You can find the full article here:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

What you should do next depends on the circumstances. For example:
If you installed the keylogger yourself and then forgot about it, remove it according to the developer's instructions. If you want to keep it, check for an update or refer to the developer for support.
If you're under 18 years old, and the keylogger was installed by a parent or guardian, talk it over within the family.
If you're an adult, and the keylogger was installed on your personal computer without your permission, then the computer may be evidence of a crime or a civil wrong. Consider the legal implications before you do anything. Assume that everything you've done with the computer is known to the party who installed the keylogger.
If the computer was issued to you by a school or employer, then you should check with the IT staff that the keylogger is authorized. Don't use the machine for personal business. If the keylogger interferes with your work, the IT staff will have to solve the problem.
In the event that the computer was tampered with by an unknown party, and you just want to clean it up, see below.
The only way you can be sure that the computer is not compromised is to erase at least the startup volume and restore it to something like the status quo ante. The easiest approach is to recover the entire system from a backup that predates the attack. Obviously, that's only practical if you know when the attack took place, and it was recent, and you have such a backup. You will lose all changes to data, such as email, that were made after the time of the snapshot. Some of those changes can be restored from a later backup.
If you don't know when the attack happened, or if it was too long ago for a complete rollback to be feasible, then you should erase and install OS X. If you don't already have at least two complete, independent backups of all data, then you must make them first. One backup is not enough to be safe.
When you restart after the installation, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process for a new computer. That’s when you transfer the data from a backup in Setup Assistant.
Select only users in the Setup Assistant dialog—not Applications, Other files and folders, or Computer & Network Settings. Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled.
Reinstall third-party software from original media or fresh downloads—not from a backup, which may be contaminated.
Unless you were the target of an improbably sophisticated attack, this procedure will leave you with a clean system. If you have reason to think that you were the target of a sophisticated attack, then you need expert help.
That being done, change all Internet passwords and check all financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Do this after the system has been secured, not before.

Suddenly shuts off, turns on (completely reboots)

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro (15-inch, early 2011). My computer suddenly shuts off (fully charged, plugged in, no warnings of low battery or anything). When I turn it back on, it reboots completely (as opposed to restoring my session like it usually does if the battery dies) and says the battery is at 0%. This has happened a few times now. Does anybody know what it is or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Why is my Macbook suddenly shutting off?

I have a Macbook (A1278) and in the last couple of days it has started suddenly shutting off without warning.
The screen goes black and I have to press the power button to turn it back on.
This has happened both when the battery is full and when the power cord is attached.
There are no other problems that I have encountered in performance or otherwise.
The fully charged battery lasts 2 hours which is pretty good considering the computer is 5 years old.
Could this be a sign that I need to replace the battery? Or is something else the matter?
Solutions, advice or comments are greatly appreciated.

Run the hardware test that came with the machine. Boot off the 'D' key. If nothing happens, you need the original installer discs to run it.

Speaker working intermittently (keypad tones, ringer, etc...). There seems to be no rhyme or reason or common denominator to when or why it suddenly shuts off. Any advice?

The volume on my iPhone is working intermittently (keypad tones, ringer, etc...). There seems to be no rhyme or reason or common denominator to when or why it suddenly shuts off. Any advice?

The problem is pin corrosion on pin number 21. It is ver simple to clean out. Google "where is pin 21 on apple dock connector." Then get a pin or dull needle and gently pull it over pin number 21. You won't see the corrosion on the pin or even see it come off, but it works.

G460 Suddenly Shut OFF when forwarding video or doing some tasks

Hy, I have problem with my Lenovo G460.
When I played video, any kind of video, it's just running normal.
But, when I forward it just a little bit, it shut off without warning or anything.
I've tried to open the bottom cover and try running it.
The VGA fan seems OK to me, it run like usual.
I Don't know what happen.
My only clue is that, the charger has 4 kind of sound.
1. When plug in to the electricity,
2. When plug in to the electricity and plugged into the Laptop,
3, When plug in to the electricity and plugged into the Laptop when the laptop is ON,
4. The sound that coming after it suddenly shut OFF.
Is it the charger, or the laptop charge core???

hi,
can you check if there's any mini dump file in folder c:/windows/minidump. if there's any, please, copy it to desktop, upload it somewhere (rapidshare.com) and post the link back.

IMac suddenly shut off.

I was using my iMac earlier today when it suddenly shut off. The only programs I had opened were Safari and iTunes. I put my hands on top of the computer and noticed that it felt especially hot. Could the cause of my iMac shutting off be because it got too hot? Should I be concerned about possible damages that may have occurred? I appreciate your help.
One more thing; my iMac won't go to sleep according to the inactive time that I have specified in the Energy Saver settings. It only goes to sleep when I access the sleep command or push the power button. Otherwise it just stays on. Thanks again.

Thanks for all your replies, guys. I hadn't logged in since Monday so I didn't know that there had been more posts since then. Anyways, to address why there hasn't been a recall or any public recognition of the problem (that I know of), I have a theory: after all the Apple commercials that basically boil down to "Macs are better than PCs because Macs work," how bad would it look that they would have to do a major recall on these new iMacs?
This is actually my first Mac. I was really stoked about it because everyone that I spoke to that had owned Macs never had any complaints. I'm getting a little concerned now. We've spent good money on these machines and apparently for a lot of us they are turning out to be a major headache. If I wanted a computer that performed poorly I would have bought a PC and spent half the money (sorry to all the PC guys out there. I've had some bad experiences with PCs that helped fuel my decision to purchase a Mac).
Anyways, I've had another unexpected shutdown earlier today so I'm going to call Apple again and see what they say. For any of you who are having this problem and are going to call Apple for the first time, your support may go something like this: turn the computer off and turn it on again holding the Command, Option, P and R buttons simultaneously. Then, using the Disk Utility, you will verify the disk. Mine claimed that everything "seemed" to be okay and as of Monday I was to monitor my system and call back if it happened again. I'm going to call them again and I'll let you all know what they say.
Dennis, thanks for the link. I have not read it yet, but I will. I'll keep you all updated. Thanks again and good luck to all of you as you try to get your Mac issues resolved.

my i phone 4 suddenly shut off and switch on. without touching it?

See Here for
Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

Satellite P10 - Notebook suddenly shuts off during application

My Satellite P10 has a problem since about 1 month. During several applications (for example games) it shuts off suddenly, without any message or comparable warning.
Is it possible, that it's getting to hot?
It worked without any problem for over a half year!
Could it be, that there's only some dirt in the ventilation? And can I clean it myself without any problems?
If I had a PC I would just open and clean it. But this is my first notebook and I don't have too much experience with the intereor of it.

HI there,
I normally clean any dust from my A30 on a weekly basis, either by blowing through the outlet vents on the back of the notepad, or by using a domestic vacuium cleaner hose on the fan intake grills oin the bottom of the unit. This avoids having to remove the CPU heat sink which may invalidate your warranty.
I also make sure that the notepad is never placed directly onto carpets or cushions or other soft surfaces since this will either block the air intakes or provide a ready source of dust and debris which will get sucked into the unit.
There is a setting in the Device Manager to enable the cooling to be set for 'maximum performance' or 'Minimum noise'. The effect of the former is to allow the CPU to run at maximum speed (which may involve the fans running at their maximum, whereas the latter will cause the CPU to slow down when it is getting too hot thereby allowing the fans to run much more slowly. I believe the post from 'Heaven' related to a fauly chip on the mother-board which was making the fans run permanently.

Satellite L300D-119 suddenly shuts off for no particular reason

Hi,
just while I'm doing random stuff on my laptop, it just turns off. And it's not like when i press "Shut Off" from the start menu, it just completely shuts down, and the screen turns black.
The PC itself isn't overheated or anything when this occurs.
I'm very worried, does someone know what to do? In that case, thanks very much.

Hello
You must understand that nobody here can say for sure why this happen and if this happen continuously you should contact nearest service provider and ask for help.
Let them check your notebook. The warranty is valid and if something must be done it will be done for free.
