My Toshiba will get really hot on the bottom and then power itself off

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop.  When I am on it, the underside will get really hot, and it will shut itself off. If I unplug the power cord from the laptop and then plug it back in, it will power up again.  Can someone tell me what is going on, and if I need to send it in to be repaired??  It isn't under warranty anymore so it is going to cost me, but I don't want my laptop to catch on fire either as that is how hot it gets sometimes.  I just let it cool down before plugging it back in and playing on it again.

  "weird but fixed!!"
Velda, weird is a synonym for computers!!!

  • Itouch 4g in facetime got really hot at the top and then the screen changed to a very light blue.  I restored it and checked for updates, but the screen is still messed up and the itouch gets very hot.  This came on very fast.

    Can't get the screen back to normal mode after restoring it, and it still gets very hot at the top when using it in any mode.  Any suggestions?

    Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

    Your VGA is definitely corrupted and it is irreparable, so just make the HP to change your vga.
    Also next time read my post on how to keep your laptop cool to avoid same issues again.
    I assume your laptop was pretty hot during some time and that's the result you've got.

  • I downloaded and installed Production Premuim CS5 on my computer and when I try to open it out of the applications folder it bounces at the bottom and then disappears.

    I downloaded and installed Production Premuim CS5 on my computer and when I try to open it out of the applications folder it bounces at the bottom and then disappears. Does anyone know why this is? I've tried everything to open them but they will not open. Does anyone else have this problem?

    I have a mac osx version 10.9.2. I used to have the student version of creative cloud cs6 earlier this year. I cancelled my subscription several months ago and bought cs5 two weeks ago. I never had any problems with the cloud. I went through the entire download process for CS5, and they all showed up in my applications folder and appeared to have downloaded but every time I try to open them they bounce around next to the application manager icon and then disappear.

  • When I turn my ipod on why does the screen stay blank and then turn itself off?

    When I turn my ipod on the normal start up screen appears with the apple logo in the middle, but then after a few seconds the screen goes blank and it turns itself off. It was working fine the other day. I even charged it overnight to make sure that it wasnt because it was out of battery. I dont know what to do, it has over 600 songs on it and around 300 photos, I know that the memory isnt full because I checked the other day and it said I had around 1GB left. I cant do anything on at all because the screen just goes blank and then turns itself off. Please help, thank you

    Well, I strongly suspect that a gig isn't quite enough "extra" storage to allow operation.
    However, first, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    Hi Paula2808,
    I’m sorry you are having trouble starting up your iMac, that must be quite frustrating. There are some troubleshooting steps I would suggest in order to get you up and running again.
    First I suggest using the steps in this article for the Apple logo appearing -

    If things still are not working correctly, you may want to continue with the steps in this article -

  • Macbook Pro gets really hot including the power adapter

    Hi Guys,
    Good day to you all!
    I just have an inquiry about my recently purchased Macbook Pro 15-inch (non-Retina). On the first 2 days of using it by just running Mac Mail, Safari, and iTunes, it's temperature is really acceptable. However, on the 3rd day, the base of the Macbook Pro was really hot, including the Power Adapter. I even noticed that the fan was making a loud noise, just like a jet engine (just being exaggerated). But the fan activity is really unusually loud. When it got that hot, I was doing Skype with my wife, playing music in iTunes, copying photos from an external hard drive to iPhoto, and using Facebook in Safari.
    What I did was I unplugged the power adapter, and let the battery reach 0% until it automatically goes to sleep. Then I will be charging it while it's off as part of the battery calibration link that I've found at the Apple support page. Also, I did the SMC reset.
    I was just concerned because I don't know if I'm going to ask for a one to one exchange since it's still within the 14days return period for Apple Online Store purchase.
    I hope someone can give me a suggestion and other recommendations to sort out the heat and fan issue.
    Best regards,
    Aris

    It could if the camera wasn't properly wired and the camera was used a lot, or if the Skype software accessed the graphics chip a lot and the graphics chip was somehow damaged. A cooling pad is not a bad idea.   But heating issues with Macs that present themselves with automatic shutdown are about the only one's I'd really get concerned about for the Mac.    The notebook is not a laptop, and a cooling pad makes sense mostly if you are going to use it as one.    Cooling it down would certainly help it regardless.   If you notice a difference in performance with it, that might be worth while checking the hardware test mentioned on my tip and taking it in for.   Do get AppleCare before it is a year old.  That way you can bring it in and get the hardware fixed up to the third anniversary of buying the machine.

  • Does anyone Bravia XBR-55x850c gets extremely hot on the bottom surface of the TV?

    Bottom surface of the X850c gets extremely hot to the touch. Does anyone have similar issue? Or maybe it's normal? Please let me know. Thanks

    You need to take it in to Apple and let them take a look at it.  You have a short in your iPod Touch that needs to be repaired. 

  • My iPad has a split typing keyboard near the top third of the screen.  How do I get it back at the bottom and full?

    My iPad's keyboard has jumped up to the top this of the screen and is split.  How do I get it back to it's normal position at the bottom and one full keyboard?

    Just to clarify this a little bit....
    Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
    If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
    If you don't want this feature - You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.
