Satellite A135 laptop reboots on it's own following normal shutdown

My Satellite A-135 has begin rebooting on it's own after a normal shutdown. Running Vista with 1 GB ram, use Firefox 3.6 browser and all programs, Windows updates, anti virus, anti malware, etc. are kept up to date. I routinely run anti malware and Avira anti virus scans and keep my registry and temp files, etc. clean with CC Cleaner. Use File Hippo and CNET Techtracker to keep aware of new software updates. Also use Win Patrol to monitor what programs and processes are running so I don't think I have a malware or virus problem. haven't added any hardware or software recently. Laptop sits on a cooling fan pad so overheating is not a problem. I can turn it off by removing the battery or by pushing the 'off' button (off button results in a safe mode screen the next time I turn the computer on). Other than this new, aggravating problem the computer runs perfectly. I bought this laptop new a few years ago and am the only user. It has not been dropped or otherwise abused so I'm at at loss as how this happened...unless it's some kind of hardware failure. I haven't done a system restore to see if that helps and will await some expert opinions before doing anything. Any good solution from someone who's solved the same problem will be greatly appreciated.

You might want to try a power reset and setting the defaults in the BIOS.
Turn off computer. Unplug AC adapter and remove the battery. Press and hold
down the power button for 30 seconds.
Put battery back in, Plug Charger back in.
Power on the computer and hold down F2 to enter the BIOS. Load BIOS defaults by
pressing F9 then F10 to save changes.

Recovery disc(s) for Satellite A135-2266 - help? for laptop donation to kenya orphanage

Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me here, or maybe tell me how to do this myself? I have a Satellite A135-2266 that needs to have the HD replaced. This computer, if I can get the recovery discs, will be donated to an orphanage in Kenya that our church supports. I will replace the HD myself, but I need the recovery discs (this was my son's laptop - he's in the navy and it died on him after only 6 mos, but he was not able to get it to land in time for warranty - and now he cannot locate the recovery disc. This is my plea for help. If anyone has recovery discs for this model, is there any chance they could copy them for me - I'd pay for the discs and shipping, so that I can fix it and get it to the orphanage? HELP? if anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears. I will be calling Toshiba to see if they can help me out, but I have faith in the users here to maybe be my salvation.
Many thanks!

I have a Windows Vista desktop and an old XP laptop, both run Firefox perfectly. However, my Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop will not run ANY version of Firefox--constant "not responding" messages. Chrome and IE9 work perfectly. Help!!

To mostly repeat my question, I am a longtime Firefox user on both an XP laptop and a Vista desktop. So here I get the most "capable" computer of all, a Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop, 64-bit Windows 7, 4G RAM...and it won't run Firefox at all! I have installed an uninstalled both Firefox 3, and just now, Firefox 4. No changes. When I open the software, it usually just locks up for a minute or so, and I finally get a "not responding" message at the top of the screen.
Obviously there is something corrupt in the guts of my laptop. But both IE9 and Chrome work very well--Chrome is blazing fast. I still prefer Firefox because it works best with some particular software I use for work...but I have to go to one of my older computers to do it!
ANY solutions out there? This seems like a very odd problem.
Posting from the Firefox website...using Google Chrome!

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Satellite A135-S4527 - Drivers needed & Function Keys do not work

Hello,
I have a Satellite A135-S4527. But, when I got this computer it was without a recovery disk / Vista Reinstall Disk and the Vista OS that was installed was a bloated mess - it was highly used by a individual of lesser intellect. Anyway, I decided to take out that Hard Drive and put in my SSD with Windows XP Professional SP3.
Thats when the problems started rolling in. Turns out Toshiba does not support Windows XP Operating System - I checked the site and was surprised to see a complete lack of support for Windows XP ( even though Windows XP is the dominant OS and was even more so when this laptop was made).
I managed to get the drivers installed, for everything but the modem. Easiest to find drivers were from Intel for the Chipset / Motherboard and the Legacy Graphical Processing Unit. The thing is, I am not sure whether or not these are the official drivers and I am completely lost on the drivers for the modem. Any idea where I can acquire the -latest and greatest- drivers for all my components?
Also there are a few problems,
- Function Keys For Brightness Do Nothing
- Laptop sometimes does not come out of sleep mode
What can I do about the brightness keys? The monitor is sometimes a bit too bright to be comfortable to use. Yet I am having no luck making those keys actually do anything.
Any help appreciated.

Hi
From my knowledge this must be a Toshiba US notebook series.
Therefore I visited the Toshiba US driver page to check the driver availability.
And guess what? I found it but unfortunately there are no many Win XP drivers.
There are Vista and Win 7 drivers available but no Win XP.
I guess that this is everything what is available for Win XP.
So what to do????
I think you should try to install the missing tools which are released for other notebook series; for example A105-Sxxxxxx
Maybe you will get the driver working
Lets hope. Otherwise you will have to use the notebook without such functions

USB troubles wit notebook satellite A135-S2386

Hi, I own a TOSHIBA Satellite A135-S2386, which began with troubles of USB ports, none device attached at any of these ports was recognized, then the Windows Vista was reinstalled, with all the drivers included in the DVD supplied with the notebook, the trouble continued. I downloaded the BIOS update (ver. 1.60), and was installed too, the current version until was 1.20, now is 1.60. The trouble with USB ports remain, therefore, I need to know any recommendation of you. Any who has any repply can contact me at [email protected] Best regards, Ing. Humberto N. Rdguez.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Windows Vista was reinstalled, with all the drivers included in the DVD supplied with the notebook,
downloaded the BIOS update (ver. 1.60), and was installed
If you have restored the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media and also flashed the BIOS, that leaves only the hardware as the cause.

Maybe time for a new machine?

Satellite A135-S2356 - BIOS won't recognize SATA Hard Drive

Hello everyone, hope you can help me out.
Got a used Satellite A135-2356, everything looks fine but BIOS won't recognize SATA HDD, shows no disk, downgraded BIOS to 1.30, no good, upgraded to 1.40, no good. BIOS has no options to change/test/detect HDD/SATA settings. Tested hard drive in another laptop and reads it fine. Got restore CD (Vista Basic 32) from Toshiba but since BIOS won't read HDD, can't do anything. Cleaned contacts, no good. This HDD must be too large or something for the board.
*Hitachi HTS541612J9SA00, 120GB SATA, 5400 RPM*
Thanks for the help!!!

Hello Richie
To be honest I do not believe the HDD is too large for your notebook. I can imagine your notebook can handle with 160 GB HDDs too. Unfortunately there is no public document about HDD upgrade possibilities. I can imagine that ASP in your country has info about this stuff.
It is also pretty strange that HDD is not recognized properly. Long time ago I have had the same problem. Every time when I have used F12 at the start up HDD were not listed as bootable device. Solution in my case was to set BIOS to default settings. I believe your BIOS has already default settings but try to do this again.

Satellite A135: Difference between Recovery options

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A135, OS: Vista Home.
I am trying to reformat my laptop using the system recovery disk that came with my laptop.
I am given two options when I run the disk:
1) Restore to factory out-of-box state, and
2) Erase the hard drive.
What are the differences between the two options?
My goal is to do a total clean up on my HDD to get rid of the malware.

This is a US notebook and therefore Im not quite sure what the exact difference could be but as Im not mistaken the first recovery option set the notebook back to the factory settings.
The other, second option would format only the HDD
If you tried both options please post the results

Satellite A135-SP4088: Need XP drivers for power management and Hotkey utility

Hello
I couldn't find drivers for the toshiba A135-SP4088, we bought 3 of them for the office and it's almost impossible to use with vista, so we go to XP SP2, and manage to get almost all of the drivers from other models, but i cannot find 2 utilities that work with this machine, they are:
Toshiba Power Management (the bulb in the task bar, remember?) :D
Hotkey Utility (so I can change Screen brightness, and go to hibernation (Fn+F4)
I have al the rest working, quite nicely but these two are a real problem, none of the ones I tested worked, some even crash the XP and have to go back to a previous restore point.
also, I didn't install any ACPI drivers, are they required?, which ones show I look for? since the model doesn't exist in csd.toshiba.com site.
Now, How one of the greatest notebooks manufacturers in the world can build such a nice computer without making drivers for the most widely used operating system?, can anyone explain me this because i sincerely don't understand it.
thanks a lot!.
Indkt.

Hi
The Satellite A135-SP4088 seems to be designed for the US market so you should use the Toshiba US driver page for the driver download!!!!
But why you need the Toshiba power saver for XP? The XP supports an own power options and also the hibernation option. This option must be enabled in the control panel -> power options -> hibernate tab
> didn't install any ACPI drivers, are they required
Toshiba page does not provide any special ACPI drivers. The OS uses own Microsoft drivers and the installation of any 3rd applications is not necessary!!!!
regards

Video expansion on Satellite A135-S4467

Hi
I have a Satellite A135-S4467 and I would like to upgrade the video for other better video car NVIDIA or ATI. Is it possible and where can I get the video car?
Can I use from another brand the video car ex (NVIDIA from some other notebook)?

Unfortunately notebook construction does not allow any video card upgrade. The graphic card is part of the mainboard and it can not be exchanged or upgraded.
As you know on desktops something like that is possible but not on mobile computers. Sorry.

Hi
Please check in your graphic card settings if the option: Full Screen (no border) has been chosen.
This can be found in Aspect Ration Options.
Ive got a U400 with Intel graphic chip and this option is available there.
Furthermore some notebooks support an additional BIOS option where the screen could be set to full screen (no borders)
