Satellite A200-1J0 is getting very hot

When i work long hourks on my laptop ( 4-5 hours ) it is geting so hot that i can't even put my hand on buttons and sometimes it just turns off =(((
I don't know what the problem is?!
Did some have the same problem?!
Such bad tendancy started since i installed Windows XP insted of standart Vista.

Hi
Ohh.You have installed Win XP? Well buddy. In such case you should update the BIOS too!
There is a BIOS designed especially for Win XP and you should update it if you switched to Win XP OS.
Furthermore you should install the Toshiba Power Saver and should change the settings in Toshiba Power Saver Basic Setup.
There you can find the option called Cooling Method. Set it to Max Performance.
Furthermore you can set the CPU processing speed to a lower level and CPU control method to Auto.
At the other hand your notebook can overheat because of the clogged cooling grilles and cooling modules. I know this because my notebooks temperature was high until I removed the dust from the cooling fans.
I used a compressed air spray. You can buy it from different computer dealers or online shops.

While gaming graphics get scrambled and Satellite A200-1j0 freezes

Hi,
I have a major graphics problem with my notebook. Its a Satellite A200-1j0 with HD 2600 running vista 32bit.
When I run a game the graphics get scrambled and the nb freezes.
I have been using the nb for casual gaming since i bought it (1 year ago) with no problems.
But some days ago, a couple of games (hl2, far cry 2) started freezing my system rarely and at random times.
Today, I updated the drivers from the Toshiba site and it got worse.
It now happens in almost every game, and as soon as graphics appear after the loading screens.
Windows run without problems though.
Here are some photos of the notebook when the graphics get scrambled

My first thought would be a faulty VGA Card, especially considering you are using the proper Toshiba Display Drivers.
I would update the BIOS and see how that goes.
Then reinstall Windows using the Recovery Disc to ensure its not a software problem (maybe DirectX is corrupted?).
Otherwise, send it to an ASP for repairs.

In my macbook pro 15 inch mid 2012 model, my cpu and gpu will get very hot, when gaming or rendering sometimes over 200F. The fans only spin at max about 2900 rpm, when their max is 6400. I downloaded a fan control app, but how can i fix it?

Hi rhaughan,
I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

MacBook not going to sleep and getting very hot

I just purchased a MacBook and have been using it for a few days. I have noticed that it does not appear to go to sleep correctly and gets very hot in the process. I finished working on my MB about 45 minutes ago. At the time it was connected to the mains and I disconnected to catch my next train. I shut the lid and after a few minutes the sleep indicator light at the front dimmed once then stayed on permanently. I could not hear the drive spinning (though the drive is quiet on this machine and there was a lot of background noise) and assumed all was OK. Anyhow, I have just taken the MB out of its case some 45 minutes later and it felt extremely hot (almost too hot to touch, I would guess around 50ºC). The sleep indicator light on the front was solid white. I opened the lid and the machine woke up. Something not right here....Also power remaining was down to 72% so something has been using up a lot of energy and heating up the aluminium!

ps. Whilst writing this email the MB has cooled down considerably but still warm.
ps2. Probably not related, but I have firmware password protection enabled

I did see some of the other posts, but nothing about the MB getting so hot.
I tried sleep from the menu and this seems to work (though I have rebooted the machine since the above report).
What worries me is the potential fire risk/damage to the MB, the case was extremely hot.

My iPhone 3GS will hold a full charge for only a short time, and gets very hot when not in use in my shirt pocket. Any ideas?

My 3GS iPhone will not hold full charge for very long. It gets very hot in my shirt pocket even when hot in use. Any ideas?

Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running. This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore. Has a reset or restore been tried?
Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.

I am using a white 13inch 2009/10 macbook, purchased in the US. Am currently using it in the Philippines, where it is 220v. I know my adapter says it works from 100-240v, but is it okay to use longterm? I think my mac gets very hot now? thanks

All Apple power supplies work world-wide with the proper plug adapter.
I have my MacBook plugged into the grid all the time, 24 hours a day w/o any problems.

Battery gets very hot during use and doesn't last long, fan runs at high speed, computer won't shut down

Macbook Air isn't a year old and I don't leave it plugged in ever. The battery might last 2 hours and gets very hot. In addition the fan runs at a very high speed. The computer won't shut down in a normal way. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off. Can someone suggest something please.
Thanks.

TS1713 my power adapter gets very hot on my mac book pro is this normal

my power adapter gets very hot to toutch on my mac book pro is this normal

Hot is normal for the charger but very hot is not. If it were mine It could be that your MBP is drawing too much current. I would take it to the Apple Store and have it checked out.

The power adapter gets very hot. Any suggestions?

The power adapter part that plugs into the computer gets very hot. I have replaced the battery and replaced the power adapter. It also has a hard time connecting and recharging the battery. Is it possible to change out the plug in part in the computer and is it expensive? Does it sound like this is what is needed to fix it? Its about 3 years old. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

AC adapter gets very hot

I have a new Thinkpad Edge e530.
The adapter gets very hot when the battery is charging. Not so hot that I can't hold it, but still, very hot.
Relevant specs:
* Adapter: 65 W
* Battery: "the bigger one" (6 cell LI Bat-75+,62WH)
* Graphics: integrated, not discrete
With the bigger battery, am I supposed to have the bigger (90 W) adapter?
Is the amount of heating I'm experiencing (very hot, but not too hot to touch) enough to be of concern?

Hello dbuser!
Welcome to the Forums Community! How long have you experienced the A/C Adapter getting hot? Were you using a different battery before the 6 cell?
According the the e530 Personal Systems Reference the 65W Adapter is the correct adapter for the 6 cell battery. It is possible that you have a defective adapter. Does the adapter make any noise, buzzing or cracking sound? If it is making any noise there is a definete issue with the adapter you are using.

I got my 2nd iphone 5s brand you, it s getting very hot after 10 min of usage

I got my 2nd iphone 5s brand you, it s getting very hot after 10 min of usage

It means take it back to where you bought it from. If you don't want to do that you'll have to be more specific like how long you've had the phone and how you are using the phone when it gets hot. That kind of information. The more we know about the phone the easier it is to diagnose and offer suggestions.

My I touch gets very hot when charging, and it won't turn on. I've tried all the resets/fixes and it does not respond. Any Ideas?

I have tried charging my itouch on the computer, in a docking station, and it gets very hot. It won't turn on, even after trying all the resets I've read on this site. Any ideas what the problem is? Is it fixable?

Hey Halefarm, What happens if you connect directly with the charging source with your cable, no docking station? Since resetting did not help, try connecting directly with the cable to your power source and your iPod. Next try a different cable, there could be a short in the one you are currently using. If still will not charge correctly, I'm leaning in the direction of a failing battery. Set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated by Apple. Have your iPod evaluated for possible battery issues. Take the cable and dock and have them tested as well. If it is a failing battery, you choices are; replace the battery, either through Apple or third party shop. Replace it yourself, if you can. Or, you look into getting a new iPod. I don't have the cost of a new battery for an iPod 3, but I'm sure it's under $100. Check with Apple for exact pricing. Good luck, Cheers.

The bottom of the computer gets very hot

I just got this macbook pro MC721ll/a. The bottom of the computer gets very hot as it is sitting on my lap. I have never had a mac before but I don't think it should be doing that. Also, I don't hear any fans running. Is this normal?

The OS keeps the fans at a minimal speed because running them any faster would needlessly use extra energy and make more noise. Manually setting your fan speed won't wear out the fans because they're brushless AC fans (so they're not subject to any significant mechanical wear as they spin). One thing to keep in mind about SMC FanControl: Apple engineers spent a great deal of time, and probably money as well, designing the cooling systems for the computer (both in terms of the physical systems, and the algorithms that control the fans and regulate the voltages of the components). In addition, Intel CPUs have their own separate temperature monitoring systems which will severely throttle or even shut down the CPU if temperatures get dangerously high. So even in the extremely unlikely event that your fans ever actually spin too slowly, the computer will still shut itself off before anything bad happens.
And to answer your first question, it is definitely normal for the bottom of the Macbook to get hot because the body is made from aluminum, one of the best thermal conductors known. Basically the bottom acts as a heat sink, allowing the Macbook to cool off more efficiently and run faster. Most other manufacturers make the bodies of their laptops from plastics, which conduct heat about as well as fiberglass insulation or a mink coat.

IPhone 5 getting very hot in car cradle

I have bought a BMW cradle to charge my iphone 5 which also boosts the signal. It is an authentic BMW/Apple part. The iphone gets very hot even on short journeys. Is this normal?

Hi Jooles,
Normally, when you charge an iPhone or any Apple device it gets hot when you are using it . However, I'm using a Car Cradle as well that I bought few years ago and it doesn't gets hot. I think it depends on which brand or model you are using.
Just a question, are you using a different cable? or an External Antenna?
