Satellite A105-S4284 automatica​lly shuts off after boot up.
Hello everyone,
I have an "A105" laptop, running Windows XP, and it shuts off on its own when I boot it up and it reaches the desktop screen. It happens to shut off at the exact moment, every time I boot up.
I openned the laptop and cleaned all the dust on the motherboard and the heatsink, and even added new thermal paste to the CPU. Everything is connected properly, however, the fan seems to start spinning when I turn the computer on, and then after about 5-10 seconds it stops spinning (not sure if this is normal)
Anyone know what is going on? I was sure that a simple cleaning would have solved the problem, but it didn't.
If you can reach safe mode, you could try performing a system restore to a time when the computer was working.
Microsoft Windows XP - Start the computer in safe mode
Repeatedly tap F8 while booting before Windows launches to get to the menu that will allow you to choose safe mode.
Microsoft Windows XP - Run System Restore in Safe mode
Open System Restore and restore to a previous restore point. When I do this, I like to choose the most recent one and work my way backwards if it doesn't help.
You can call support at (800) 457-7777 if you'd like to speak with a support agent.

Satellite A105-S4284: cracking audio and sound
Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-s4284 notebook. When I play audio files (wma, mp3, wav) the sound occasionally produces a cracking (scratching) noise and its VERY VERY annoying, people that share this problem know just how disturbing it is, especially when you pay 1100 euros for a core duo processor with 1GB ram notebook (which you thought would be perfect for use).
Is it a hardware issue or is something wrong with the drivers? This also happens with the preinstalled windows xp media center edition os, as well as with xp professional and windows vista.
I took it for repair but the guys just reinstalled the dvds and returned it to me as it was, I guess it was too difficult for them to hear the noise.
Anyway, I am VERY disappointed and now I just want to fix this problem...
Please help!Hi Emil.d,
There are several message threads that seem to be related to your problem. Please see topics, "Audio glitch: maybe fan related??" and "Satellite A100-906 - sound issue with playing mp3" and "Audible click from speakers when fan starts and stops Equium A100-147" and "Crackling sound on Satellite A100-709".
These all appear to be related problems on machines running bios 2.0 Windows XP, and RealTec sound chip.
One temporary solution was recommended in thread, "Audio glitch: maybe fan related??", but I wouldn't recommend it based on my own experience. I will continue to pursue the problem on the "Audio glitch: maybe fan related??" message thread. Thought you might like to know that there are others having the same problem.
To check if you have the same problem, play a cd or mp3 while placing your hand close to the heat sink exhaust port at the left side of the computer. If you hear the click, (or pop, or garbage) when the cooling fan turns on or off then you have the same problem.
If you have that same problem then come to the "Audio glitch: maybe fan related??" message thread and join us in a hunt for this solution. In my case, I can't return the computer and I can't use my new synthesizer on gigs until this problem is solved - so I have no choice but to pursue this to a solution. -
My IPad does not automatically shut off after several minutes of non use as it had been doing a few days ago How can I restore this auto feature?
Settings>General>Auto-Lock and select an Auto-Lock time (the "Never" setting will of course never auto-lock the device)

I have an ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to automatically shut off after one hour long song rather than going to next song on the list. Is this possible?
Sorry, but it's not. The only way to get this to work is to only put the one hour song on your Shuffle.

Final Cut Pro Randomly Shutting off after Minutes
Every time I open FCPX and begin editing it randomly shuts off after about 3-4 minutes. Regardless of what I am doing. I get no wheel or anything, it just shuts off clean. I am running the most recent update to Lion, FCPX 10.1 with 8GB of ram... this is really frustrating. Any thoughts?
#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.fcprescue.com and run it.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

iPad--third generation shuts off antenna/hotspot after a few minutes of non-use.
Happens in 3G and LTE VZ environment.
Turning hotspot off and on getsw things working again.
Does Apple have antenna on a timer so it shuts off after a few minutes?
Does this happen on Mini and Retina as well?
FLAGSTAFFLARFixed!
Two things together have restored connectivity.
1. I changed the name under Settings > General > About > Name from My Name's iPad to iPad of My Name. I read somewhere that iOS 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 (I forget which) sometimes had issues with apostrophes here. Easy enough to test.
2. I then reset (again) the APN settings under Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings > Personal Hotspot and reentered our provider's info (APN, Username, Password) there.
I don't know WHY it worked, but the personal hotspot is now happily sharing (again) internet connectivity with my MacBook Pro. -

Iphone 3g shuts off after the apple loading screen then cuts back on
Iphone 3g shuts off after the apple loading screen then cuts back on by its self but when i connect it to a charger it works fine also my on/off button is unresponsive (i havent dropped it or wet it so im confused why its doing this)
Welcome to the discussions,
normally you could try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back. But since the sleep button is unresponsive, try to restore "as new iPhone", if necessary without using the backup afterwards, in case the backup contains corrupt data.

My MacBook Pro starts and shuts off after loading for sometime
My MacBook Pro starts and shuts off after loading for sometime
Try starting in Safe mode by holding down the Shift key while booting. Safe mode takes a while to load the OS. After that, restart the computer normally.
If that does not work, start up in Recovery by holding down the Command and R keys. In the window that opens, choose Disk Utility at the bottom and verify and repair your disk. Repair permissions while you are there. -
IPod Touch shuts off after being locked 4 a while
Hello, My iPod touch 4th generation will shut off after being locked. Sometimes when I lock it for 3 minutes it'll shut off I will click the sleep/wake button or home button and it'll do nothing, So I have to reset it by holding sleep/wake button for 30 seconds or something. One time I set a alarm for 3 minutes and it went off and it showed on the iPod's screen and froze! What I did was: settings, general, auto-lock and put to never because if I'll let it lock for more than 3 or 5 minutes it'll shut off. Any one know a reason this might be happening?
Thanks for readingTry:
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HP DV6-6B25TX shutting off after 10 to 15 seconds irrespective of battery power or AC power
Hi,
MY DV6-6B25TX is shutting off after 10 to 15 seconds irrespective of battery power or AC power.
Following is the complete scenario of what happened during the last few weeks:-
Two weeks back i was using the laptop with the AC adaptor plugged in for charging, the battery got charged upto 99% then it stopped charging and the battery icon text displayed, 'Plugged in, Not Charging'.
A week back the battery was 20 %, after plugging in the charger, still the same message 'Plugged in, Not Charging'.
Now the laptop doesnt respond to the power key when the battery is inserted.
If i remove the battery and again put it back, it starts without pushing the power button and shuts off after 10 seconds, i.e. even before starting Windows.
It shuts down even when on Bios Screen, so OS is definately not the issue.
When i connect the charger and press the power button, same thing i.e. starts and shutts off after 10 to 15 seconds irrespective of BIOS screen or Windows Boot.
I removed the ram and but it back again but still the problem persists.
Also there is no question of overheating due to dust as i have barely used the laptop for a few hours, the laptop is around 6 months old and under warranty.
Please Advice ASAP.
Thanks in Advance.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Honestly, something is preventing the battery from being charged. The notebook shutting down seconds after reinserting the battery is a good indication the battery just isn't getting charged. This could be a failed battery, charger, charging port, or motherboard in rare instances.
Since it is in warranty, I recommend contacting HP support as there is no easy fix for this on the forums. It is a hardware issue.
The number for support in the U.S.A. and Canada is 1-800-474-6836.

Lenovo c200 3000, shuts off after 2, 3 min
Hi there
I have lenovo 3000 c200, it is 5 years old
It shuts off after 2 to 5 min. First i thought it is from the fan and i changed it, but still the same. Then I reapplied the thermall paste and still no difference. The fan starts and stops for like 2 to 3 seconds. And then it shuts of. I ran out of ideas.
I use windows XP service pack 3, I tried to reinstall it or recovery it, but it just shuts down. it also does not recognize the battery and does not charge it.
The S/N is L3-EY486.
Thanks in advance
Nedmy personal opinion, it's better to buy new computer instead of replacing the parts ( battery & fan )

I have an iPhone 5 that constantly shuts off after 5-10 minutes..
My iPhone 5, purchased on Amazon, used, constantly shuts off after 5-10 minutes of uptime right after a color fade. I got it to stay on but I just can't reboot it otherwise it'll happen again. But if I don't reboot it, my battery percentage will not update. I'm not sure if it's water damage or just a bad battery. I'm afraid to leave it charging overnight since the battery percentage doesn't budge and it'll just continue charging.
You should get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store and see if the battery needs to be replaced.
Did you check the moisture indicators to see if the device did get damaged by liquid?
