NB205 Wifi Stops Working When Laptop Is Hot

Hi Everyone,
I have a NB205 laptop that's in great condition. I love it to death, but whenever the system becomes hot, the Wifi stops working. I usually have to restart the computer for it to work again. The problem seems to be getting worse. Even if the device is on a cooling pad, it seems to have this issue. The laptop, in my opinion, doesn't even get that hot for the issue to occur.
I sent the laptop to Best Buy for repairs, and after two weeks they returned it with absolutely no improvement in performance. Is there a driver or something that I can try downloading before I take it back to Geek Squad?

It's not losing connection to the router. It happens at all locations, so it's not the internet connection thats the problem. It's definitely an issue with the laptop itself. I have Windows 7 and upgraded ram.
It happens as soon as it gets hot. I can't keep it on my lap for more than 5 minutes without it becoming too hot (although it doesn't feel that hot compared to past laptops I've had) and then I just get a big red "x" on the wi-fi icon.

  • Wifi stops working when NTP sync occurs

    Every few days I have a problem where the WiFi stops working on my time capsule running v7.6.3.  All of the cleints in the house (Mac Mini, two Macbook Pros, iPad, two iPhones) stop simultanously and don't see the wifi network at all.
    At that point I get an Ethernet cable and check out the logs.  Frequently I see a message similar to the following:
    Nov 29 18:21:13
    Severity:5
    Clock synchronized to network time server time.apple.com (adjusted +810754969 seconds).
    Nov 29 15:21:12
    Severity:5
    Clock synchronized to network time server time.apple.com (adjusted +811604500 seconds).
    There are plenty of log entries where NTP sync is successful.  I have an Airport Express running 7.6.3 that uses time.apple.com and this is never a problem, only on my time capsule.
    I've performed a factory reset twice and it doesn't help.  Today I've switched the NTP server to 'us.pool.ntp.org' to see what happens.  I also notice that when I power cycle it, the time reverts to January (year unknown) until a sync occurs.
    Has anyone else ever seen this?  I have an OG 1st gen Time Capusle.

    No its new to me bcoz no matter u move latop anywhere up,down,tilt anything shouldnt happen at all,i move mine all directions without loss if this continue to u better go to apple to test sound like interfering inside no idea of this,u cant keep doin restart all the time....its not right........

  • Why does Data (wifi) stop coverage when IPhone 5C plugged in for recharging?

    Why does the Data (wifi) stop working when  IPhone 5c plugged in for recharging?

    It does not, or should not.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    My iMessage stopped working when I did the latest update on my phone. I have literally tried everything to reset it. I am currently not in the US, but my iMessage has always worked when I was in wifi and my phone is still activated. I have tried to reset my network settings, my location, and even the reset all settings. When I click on my settings and iMessage it says that it is still waiting for activation... and my phone number is grayed out. I am able to recieve an iMessage to my email and that could work for right now but i'm not sure how to start a conversation the defaults to being sent from my email and not my cell phone number. please help!

    Hi shanny202.
    Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
    Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
    Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.
    You locate the nearest Apple Store here: http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/

    My ipod is cracked and it chipped away a little more last night and that's when my wifi stopped working. My wifi works on every other device in my house except for my ipod. Is there something wrong with my ipod?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Try right next to the router
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Could it be this?
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    hi

    Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to  Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
    I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
    Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

    What do I do when WiFi stops working?

    Have you done a reset on the device?  Hold down the home button + the lock button for about 10-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.  Once the phone resets, see if this helps. 
    If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and see if that helps.

  • When I connect my External HD my WiFi stops working.

    When I connect my External HD my WiFi stops working. Anyone knows why?????

    I do have the same problem with my MBP 15" (late 2013) on the right USB-Port as well. It still works when I use the left one.
    As the external hard drive has its own power source I suggest it doesn't have anything to do with the difference regarding the provided power of the right and left side...(?)
    Is this problem solved yet?

     Dear Aedesh, Thank you for your assistance.  I did all that you instructed below, regarding uninstalling, and using the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool.  I restarted my computer, then installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (for Windows 7, English and version: Reader DC 2015). I continue to have the problems: (1) When I attempt to use a scroll down option within a pdf form, the program stops working. (2) If I send the pdf to my iPhone, and I open the pdf, I receive the message "Please wait...if the message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document..." However, when I send pdf's created earlier than 4-28-15, I am able to open in my iPhone.I am able to open on my laptop the pdf's created after 4-28-15, but have the scroll option issue  (thank you in advance for your patience)Luisa

  • Reports with prompting stop working when moved from Crystal10 to crystal 11

    Issue:
    We are having trouble with Crystal Reports XI. It appears that the Crystal 10 runtime included the ability to process reports that used prompting. If we run the same report with the Crystal XI runtime, it fails.
    I can send a sample of the report.
    Error Dialog:
    Title: Internet Explorer Script Error
    Error Details:
    An error has occurred in the script on this page
    Line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: invalid character
    Code: 0
    URL: file: /// C:/Program%20Files/Business%20Objects/3.0/crystalreportsviewers11/prompting/js/promptengine_strings_en.js
    Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
    Yes/No
    Our Configuration:
    We use Merge Modules that install Crystal Reports through the browser via a CAB file that we created. It runs a setup executable
    The setup executable project that installs CR XI uses the following Merge Modules:
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Runtime.msm
    CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (This is contrived by us from one of your hot fixes)
    Observation:
    When the install is finished, the folder structure under u2026. Crystalviewers11/prompting do not have any files like they do if we install the development environment.
    Question:
    What do we need to do to correct this situation?
    *why the reports with*
    *prompting stops working when it is moved from a Crystal 10 to Crystal 11*
    *environment.  I believe that it has something to do with Merge Modules*
    *because the files under the prompting folder do not populate with the*
    *merge module like they do with the full install of Crystal Reports.*
    Please help.
    Best Regards,
    Peter Freeman

    We have JDK 1.6 installed.  The License Merge Module is not related to
    this issue.
    The files under \Program Files\Common Files\Business
    Objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\prompting  are not being installed.
    If we copy files, into this folder structure the reports work.
    One of the Business Object's Merge Modules should install the files
    there rather than just an empty folder structure.
    I got was able to figure out how to enter a customer support message.
    They said that they could not support us because we were not on CRXIR2
    (Crystal Reports 11 Release 2).
    I found a download for CRXIR2SP4 (same thing service pack 4).
    I installed it the Merge Module names changed to include a "_5"
    Was:
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Runtime.msm
    CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (This is contrived by us from one of
    your hot fixes)
    Now:
    CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Reportengine.msm
    CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Runtime.msm
    CrystalReports11_5_RDC_License.msm (should have been included)
    *CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (not needed anymore)
    I will try to put a installer together with these.  If this work there
    will be some complexity around uninstalling the old one and installing
    the new one.
