Re: Satellite A105 shuts down after 60 seconds (NOT a thermal problem)

Satellite A105-s4344 shuts down after EXACTLY 60 seconds. The mobo has been removed from bezels and all un-needed devices removed (DVD, HDD, WiFI etc.). Swapped CPU and RAM with known good ones. Swapped AC adapter and battery with known good. Does the same on AC or DC only inputs.
I have not yet flashed the BIOS (with 60 seconds this would be foolish). But, I am looking into replacing or reflashing with an EEPROM burner. Currently has V 2.0
I am not sure what genration heat detecting this system uses, but it is a possible cause if it is one of the later generations (visit http://www.topbits.com/how-to-monitor-cpu-temperature.html if you do not know that I am refering to).
Prior to reballing the north and south bridge, and flashing I figured I would get some input from you folks. Just to cover all bases ;)
P.S. the first person to ask what OS I am using will get an instant ticket to the bottom of my respect list.

:) :) :) Best thing I saw in this forum.
Back to your problem.
I am not technician but here just my opinion about all this. The fact is that after switching your notebook ON CPU in just few seconds reaches very high temperature. You can switch your notebook ON and just enter BIOS settings and the same should happen again.
I cannot say for sure if this is 100% thermal issue or not but what else can be responsible for switching off? CPU will be hot in few seconds only. Material change structure with temperature change and I can just imagine some contact will be interrupted.
On this forum we had many similar reports like when cold notebook starts and runs well but after short time switches off for no reason. Maybe I am wrong but for me it sounds like thermal or bad contacts issue. Lets see what other people have to say about it.

  • Satellite A10 shuts down after 40 mins

    A-10 Pro keeps shutting down after 40 mins, power source is always the AC lead, can anyone help?
    Has been checked for the following:-
    Viruses
    Power managment - on never shut down
    Cooling fan seems to be okay

    Hi guys
    The compressed air spray is a nice tool to clean the internal cooling ventilators!
    Usually the dust and debris prevent the fans from properly rotation and therefore the temperature increases and leads to the overheating issues
    Use simply such spray and you will solve this!

  • Satellite A100 shuts down after memory upgrade

    Consider me as 1 of the thickie bunch.. Not even sure wot im talkin bout but here goes n e way...........
    Have a Satellite A100 570 ( PSAA2E)..........
    Have tried several different online sites lookin for memory upgrade. Didn't have the witt to use toshiba site...... Ended up going with Crucial.........
    Ran diagnostic on laptop and was sent the module a needed.or so i thought....... wrong 1 or 1s as i bought 2 x 1G modules in order to " double up".....
    Got my money back as they were not compatable with my system.. something to do with density problems....
    Tried company called OFFTEK........ they seemed to know what they were talkin about....... I have from Offtek. at present a..........
    200 Pin 1.8v DDR2 PC2-4200 SoDimm....... but Toshiba have recommended below......
    1GB PC2-4300 DDR2 Memory (533MHz)
    Part Number: PA3411U-2M1G
    1024MB (1GB) Memory PC2-4300 DDR2 (533MHz)
    Theres an obvious difference ...... 4200 and 4300. But im not sure if its a significant difference........... or what it means
    Have updated bios to most recent version and basically updated everything toshiba had to offer for this model...........
    Ran EVEREST and it recognises the 1G module but when i take out the original 512mb module the laptop starts for about 3 seconds then shuts down...
    this repeats about 5 times then complete shutdown.....
    I dont like opening the back cover too often but this is the 3rd module ....
    Not sure whats meant to happen if the module is working...i.e start up message..not sure if windows recognises 1G module....
    Would it be safer bet to send Offtek module and stick with toshiba option.....
    Thanks in advance.....

    Cheers R2........ suppose at this stage i could start rhyming off a load of star wars lines but uve probably hears them all before.......
    N e way......... checked out the link u posted..........very useful......
    The module described is identical to what i have.............As with previous reply ( above ) im not sure what to do.........might take up Offteks offer of replacing the module but slightly concerned it might have same outcome......Still not happy bout opening the cover so much........nut needs must i suppose

  • My Satellite 2410 shuts down after resuming from Stand by mode

    My laptop shuts down when i resume it from stand by. I have Satellite 2410-303 windows xp Home Edition Sp-2.

    Hi,
    could it be possible that you have Software installed, that doesnt support the standby function?
    Often Programs like Firewalls or AntiVirus Programs are the reason.

  • Satellite P30 shuts down after some mins

    I have a Satellite P30 which is several months old. already I have had to restore the system after a crash and now the laptop powers down after 10 or 15 mins use. It doesn't seem to get excessively hot. has anyone had a similar experince and how did you resolve it.
    [Edited by: admin on 26-Nov-05 08:29]

    I have the exact same problem, and i think it might be dust in the cooling system, but i cant find any dokumentation on how to open up the computer to clean it. So if someone know how to split an P30....

  • Toshiba Satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds!!

    my laptop satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds of booting , i dont know why ?? and i searched for support in the website and didn't find it in the model list, also i don't know why ???!!
    i want to know why it shuts down , and how can i communicate with support

    Yours would not appear to be a US model. We need the Part Number for your laptop, like PSAG8U-05K02C. You can find this on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your laptop. As well, what country was it originally purchased in. In addition, what is your operating system version, like Windows Vista 32bit?

  • Hello my ps 2014 can not open it shuts down after 10-15 seconds. the old version run fine

    Hello
    my ps 2014 can not open it shuts down after 10-15 seconds. the old version run fine

    There are several things you can do I understand.
    1) Check the battery condition using a program like the widget iStatPro (free). If the battery health is less than 80% then Apple have a free replacement program for this.
    2) Switch the machine off and disconnect the power supply. Remove the battery and leave out for several minutes - to allow complete discharge of all electronic components, I think. Then re-instal the battery, etc and restart. I'm not 100% clear on all steps in this procedure but it provides a reset which sometimes resolves problems at least temporarily.
    3) Disconnect all peripherals and see how it works. One of these might be calling for more power than it should.

  • MacBook Retina shuts down after a few seconds after every boot

    Hi there
    My retina macbook keeps shutting down after booting and rebooting by its own a minute later. No error message is displayed or anything like it, it just magically shuts down.
    It had been working fine until now but it seems to be going crazy for whatever reason...
    When it shuts down by itself, I can't turn it on myself. It does it on its own even if the lid is closed and then shuts down again after about 30 seconds.
    This only happens when it's connected to a power source (it doesn't even start when it's not).
    I have tried to reset the PRAM without success.
    The only time the issue doesn't happen is when I do a Safe Boot.
    Can anybody tell me what is up with my Macbook (I really need it for work AND school).
    Thanks

  • Pse trial v12 installed but when opening the editor it shuts down after 2 seconds, what can be the problem? I have windows 8.1 64 bit with the latest video drivers installed. Thanks

    PSE trial 12 installed just fine but when i start the editor it opens and shuts down after about 2 seconds without an error, the only thing that appears is a message with 'continue trial'.
    I have windows 8.1 64 bit and i already installed the latest video drivers, intel hd 4000 and nvidia geforce 710M.
    I also installed premiere elements version 12 with the same problem.
    What can be the problem here, please help?
    Thanks.

    Hi roberto-
    Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

  • AFTER UPDATE GREY SCREEN NO SOUND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER 30  SECONDS PLEASE HELP

    AFTER UPDATE GREY SCREEN APPEARS WHEN POWER BUTTON PRESSED NO START UP SOUND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER 30  SECONDS AND REPEATS ITS SELF PLEASE HELP

    As for now, only thing that helped was an archive and install with preserve user settings. Seems after the reinstall of 10.4. everything that was weird has become normal again. I hope very much this state stays on for a while - or ever!
    A comment to everybody: with problems that are common you get a lot of help from friendly users in here, but if like in my situation things get a bit more uncommon than the usual querks and troubles your bound to go through a whole workflow of tests and algorithms - i did learn some new things but eventually I had to go for the ultimate - the reinstall (of course, erase and install would have been more work.) and it's frustrating not to find out how it came to this problem. I wish I could nail it down to something I did mistakenly - i guess I'll find out next time.
    THANKS THOUGH to those who replied.

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X

  • Mac mini shuts down after 10 seconds..

    At first today, the CDs and discs kept automatically ejecting and wouldn't read (obviously). So I keep putting them back in hoping it would read or hold something. Then I restarted and the Mac Mini shuts down after 10 seconds of the seeing the desktop. Did I fry it? I did hear a weird sizzling when I put my hand on top of the mini. And is this under any warranty - I bought it Feb. 07? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Any thoughts on that?
    One or two come to mind, not least that if the unit is under warranty now (as it clearly is) and they aren't taking this fault seriously, then buying AppleCare so it remains under warranty longer isn't the right solution - having them examine it and resolve the problem is.
    There's no doubt at all that in the event there is a system with a suspected fault, extending the warranty long enough that the system ceases to function and can be repaired is a good thing, but it shouldn't be necessary to go to that extreme in order to get a problem resolved now!
    I would simply take this elsewhere and have it looked at. While odd noises are sometimes hard to hear in an environment where there are people and other activities going on, and thus it is reasonable to expect diagnosis of them to prove difficult, a system that shuts down of its own accord after a few seconds is clearly not working correctly. To be sure, if it is overheating, then testing it when it's cold is likely to miss the problem, but the description of the fault from the user ought to give enough clues to put the system on test long enough to see what happens when it warms up. If the fault can't then be replicated with a system that is at normal running temperature and under load, then giving it a clean bill of health is reasonable.
    Thus, in your place I would ask them if they did, in fact, test it in that way. Alternatively, write a description of the fault, specifically identifying the premature shutdowns and the circumstances in which they happen (if they still do) and the noises and the circumstances in which they occur (if they still do) and take the system and description to an approved service provider and let them look at it.
    If the shutdowns are no longer occurring, and the noise is absent, then whether you buy AppleCare or not is really a matter of how confident you are that the problem has gone. If you have doubts that the system is running correctly, AppleCare is expensive but at least extends the warranty sufficiently that you can stop worrying too much. Alternatively, if the problem(s) still persist, rather than AppleCare, have the system examined and repaired right now.

  • Satellite A60 Shuts Down immediately after pressing power button

    My A60 shuts down after 2-3 seconds when I press the power button for openning the laptop. After pressing the power button, all lights come on, but before anything appears on the screen, computer cuts off the power. Fun, DVD and harddisk sound working. At least, sounds are coming from the these hardwares. Also from the buttom of the laptop, I can see the fan is working.
    This problems started nowhere. Yesderday, I closed my laptop properly and carry my laptop to my friends. When I tried to open my laptop, this problem occured and I could not open it yet.
    I tried any combination of using power supply and battery for power. Non of them is working.
    Is there any one had the same problem or have any diagonistics for this problem.
    Thanks,
    Emrah

    @ Etjuh
    Dont think its the same problem!
    Your problem sounds more like overheating and the cooling modules cleaning could helps to prevent the notebook form overheating and from automatically shut downs.
    The vacuum cleaner is a useful tool ;) but be careful if you dont know how to do it please contact an technician!
