Satellite A210 - Over heating and problem updating BIOS

My aunt was having problems with her A210 so she bought herself a new one and gave me the old one. The problems she was having was the computer kept randomly shutting down. I think it is an overheating problem because the laptop runs pretty hot. The BIOS has never been updated so I was thinking that might help with this problem. Anyways, when I tried to update the BIOS this error message came up.
Cannot load driver C:\Users\Dan\Desktop\MK10AWF\PHLASHNT.SYS.
Please check your accounts, if you have no administrator privilege, please login again!
Access is denied.
Error code: 5
I am the only user on the computer and I have administrator priveleges so I'm not sure why this error is coming up. Please help. Thanks

> Has anyone else experienced overheating problems with the A210? Any solutions?
Hi mate
Im an Satellite A210 owner and to be honest an higher internal temperature could happen if the notebook would not get enough air in order to cool the internal parts like CPU and GPU.
Some weeks ago I used the notebook lying on the couch I didnt notice that the cooling ventilators which are placed at the bottom of the unit were clogged because of my relax position if you know what I mean ;)
After a short time of usage, the notebook shut down automatically I was a little bit surprised but I realized that the air could not circulate and therefore the notebook overheated
Now, Im using the unit only on the desk. This is recommended and it helps to keep the temperature on lower level
PS: My BIOS is up to date...

My hp compaq presario62 has been over heating and mostly shut down what can i do

my hp compaq presario62 has been over heating and mostly shut down what can i do?

You can try a usb cooling pad but I am not a big fan of them....if your laptop needs one there is a problem that needs to be fixed. The likely issue is a clogged fan and cooling system which requires disassembly and cleaning out around the fan and heatsink, removing the heatsink and appplying new thermal compound. You can also perhaps help by using compressed air blown into the heat vents.

My ipada mini has over heated and its not starting

What do you mean by 'frozen' ? Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to work ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Over heating and battery drain on iPhone 4 after iOS 7.1 update

I am facing heavy battery drain and overheating after updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 7.1
The battery discharges @ 1% for every minute - when not in use / idle. The handset stays uncomfortably warm. The background app refresh, location services, screen brightness etc have been switched off/kept to the minimum. Though there is significant improvement in responsiveness. There were no battery/overheating issues with iOS 7.0.6.
Have reset all settings, switched on/off, given a hard boot (power button + home button) but no use.
Suggestions to resolve this are welcome.

This is not a software issue!!!. Yes, it may cause by the software update.. I had the same issue with my Iphone5 after 7.1.. I went crazy .. seeing my battery draining 1% a minute without using it.. and it took more than 7 hours to charge completely. Worst my IPhone was out of warranty cant take it back to Apple to have it fixed.
Things already did -
I changed the battery
Restored the phone
Switched to setting basically nothing
Waited for 7.1.1 to come out and then update the phone
But none of these helped at all
So i rolled the last dice.. took my phone to a local technician (in Philippines). They said none of the above will resolve the issue.
What exactly went wrong was the - USB POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER IC U2 was busted. Once this was replaced my phone worked just fine. in fact I was amazed with the results.
My phone charged 100% from 20% in less than 60 minutes.
Now my battery lasts for more than 15 hours ( i do not use mobile data only Wi-Fi)
So if your phone is out of warranty no harm in getting this part replaced. If within warranty you may get a replacement handset.
Now to what causes this as per the technician " Every update from apple tries to exclude accessories that are not certified, and you do get the pop up that this accessory may not be supported" continue to use the charger will fry the IC U2 .
Hope this Helps goodluck

Satellite A210-199 - (PSAFGE) - Error in the BIOS

All good day.
Faced with the problem of model notebook Toshiba A210-199 (PSAFGE)
When the laptop it 2 times and knocks mail to oshybku System Configuration Data Updated and
System Configuration Data Read Error Along
What to do please?
Thank you in advance
I am from Ukraine. Translated text translator)

Sorry mate but its very difficult to understand your message.
What I could understand is that you have some BIOS problem.
BIOS is an very serious theme Issue with BIOS are not easy to solve since in most cases the EPROM module where the BIOS is stored must be re-flashed using special BIOS crisis disk. In worst cases there could be an serious motherboard problem and this would mean that motherboard has to be replaced.
If the notebook would no pass Toshiba splash screen, the POST (power on self test) could not be passed and this means that there must be serious hardware problem.
Unfortunately, some issue requires additional help from service engineer.

I have a problem with Thinkpad sl440. I get these types of problem not a single laptop but also any of them.
First problem is over heat I measured overheat of the HDD by crystal disk info After one or two hours left its temp goes to 50°c.
Second one is wireless Lan Disconnect after few hours later the wireless disconnect automatically and it also doesn't show any wifi signal in his range. But after restarting the wireless lan work again. After that it goes to disconnect again after few hours.
I hope this problem occurs from over heat from the motherboard..
Please give me a solution.

HT4061 I got a brand new iPhone 4S on contract last week and since I've had it it's been over heating and it's turned itself off once and every now and then the screen flickers I just wanted to know is this a common thing as I've never had an iPhone befor

My new iPhone 4S that I have had a for about a week keeps over heating a lot and its turned itself off once and I couldn't turn it on for over half an hour,also my screen flickers from time to time and I'm not sure what to do as I not had an iPhone before can anybody help me please I would be very greatful.

No, it's not normal.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).
Frankly though, considering it's new, take it back to Apple.

My iphone 4 is over heating and it overheated then shutoff and now it wont charge what should i do?

please help me it stopped over heating along time ago then started back up again. but now its not charging.:( even when its off it still overheats.

Problem updating bios on X200

Hi, I have an X200 with Windows 7 64bit. It has an old bios on it. I need the newest version installed so I can take advantage of the battery life updates. I downloaded the manual updater and when I run it and choose Update ThinkPad BIOS it says Driver Loading Failed. The Utility cannot proceed. I tried the bootable cd option but I don't have a cd rom drive for the computer. I tried mounting the image onto a usb stick but none of the programs I tried work. There is another program included in the manual package called winphlash that looks like you can manually update it but it's kind of sketchy to do without exact instructions for it. Please help, thanks.

This does not sound good. A BIOS update is usually completed within 5 minutes.
Is this the download you used from your model's driver/software page?

Has anyone else had any problems with their phone over heating and shutting down?

I've had my phone for less a month and I've already had issues with my iphone 4. On several occassions it has overheated and shut down. On one occasion I put the phone in the side pocket of my purse where, I also had a charger for my camera. When I removed the phone, it was hot...not warm but hot! On another occasion I was at the movies and put the phone face down on my lap, at one point i touched the phone and again it was hot. When the movie was over, and I looked at the phone it had shut down....this has happened a few times more since then. I've also had problems with the phone shutting down on it's own. I took it to my local apple store and the representative looked at my phone and ran a diagnostic check for me. He said the everything on my phone looked normal and that my phone probably needs a "breaking in" period...to give it a couple of months...He really didn't tell me much more...I don't use my phone for more than the basics...calling, texting, and some mild app use...I don't understand how I can be having these problems when I've had my phone for less than a month...The rep tried selling my the Apple insurance. He told me that through ATT I only have 30 days, and I would be better off getting this insurance. I feel very dissastisfied with the service I got. I was done with my appointment within 10 mins, I don't think the representative took the time to listen to my concerns.

Thanks for your reply, but I guess whether this was a silly question is a matter of opinion. That is the whole purpose having these forums...so that people can post their questions, silly or not. Maybe you are an Apple expert or have "techy" knowledge, but I don't. So what may be silly or stupid for you, can be completely different for a novice apple consumer like me. If you must know, I did do my research, and I did do the basic trouble shooting.All to no avail. I took my phone to the apple store, had it diagnosed and was told some very inaccurate information. I ended up going back today, and got a second opinion. This person actually took the time to talk to me and to better explain Applecare and my warranty. She also told me that there is no such thing as a "break in" period, and when there is a shutting down issue, even after a "restore" that it was better to get it replaced. Which is what she did. She replaced my phone. Obviously, the first person, by his own admission, was too tired and ready to go home to actually take the time to explain and offer other options...

Satellite A210-151: more fan activity after BIOS update to version 1.80

Hi folks,
I have noticed a that the fan activity has changed dramatically since I have updated my BIOS to V1.80. Every minute or so, sometimes even more often, the fan starts to work, going from what I believe is probably level 3 of 4 to level 2 and then stops.
This is getting kind of annoying, especially when Im not working, and theres only the internet (firefox) wokring on the machine.
Anyone else notice that ?
Thanks, Mike

In addition to my previous entry, my BIOS was 1.70 so it is not related to the BIOS version.
I've googled for similar symptoms and I only found such issue on Intel based A200's.
In fact this is only one discussion with the issue on AMD processor.
My A200 fan worked in relation to the temperature. 28C - off, and 33C - on (SpeedFan).
When I completelly covered air intake at the bottom side, it remained constantly runnig as the temperature was 29-30C.
Nevertheless, this was the most comfortable usage of the notebook :-) as the fan noise was significantly lower and at constant rate you can get used to it.
It is less annoying then permanent switch on/off :-)
After playing a while with air intake covering I found that lower fan noise can be obtained with covering at least 80% of intake.
So you can still leave 20% of the intake opened for air which should be safe for working with laptop in normal load.
Of course, you should monitor processor temperature!

HP New their laptops over heat and have a problem and still sold them to us

Hi,
I have a laptop that overheats and crashes and now needs a new motherboard because HP new about the problem with their design and still sold these entertainment centers to us even though we cannot watch anything on it because they will overheat,.
Thanks HP

The following line tells me that this is not a template file, but a document created from a template called index.dwt
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
This means that you saved a child document as a template file at some stage.
If you go to Modify->Templates->Detach from Template, you can remove the template structure from your document. All you then need to do is to re-save the document as a template.
