Satellite M30-604 freezes and fan doesn't work after replacement

Satellite SM30-604. Laptop left on carpet overnight and overheated! Fan doesn't spin and laptop only occasionally starts up. Thinking the fan was fault I replaced the fan but even this new fan doesn't spin. The heatsink is totally clean - no dust inside the vanes at all. The laptop is only 2 years old.
Using forced-cooling (by sticking a vacuum nozzle at the cooling fan outlet!) the laptop occasionally starts up like normal right up to the Desktop screen with all usual icons and no error messages. But then it goes no further - the screen, keyboard and mouse freeze.
Most of the time it doesn't start up at all. When it doesn't start, the blue LED comes on but there's no hard-disk activity or LCD screen at all - even the wifi LED doesn't even come on.
Really grateful if anyone know's what's going on. Not sure if it's the main CPU that's faulty?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Charlie
Like you know on this way it is not easy to give any precise diagnostic but according to your posting I presume that there is some complex problem and unit should be checked properly. I also think that there must be some problem with electronic.
It is really possible that mainboard must be replaced but, as I already said, it is no possible to say anything precise about your problem. Try to contact Asp and you will see what they will say.
Bye

How to start compass sensor? It start freezed and it doesn't works

Well, as far i know, the Alcatel Onetouch Firefox Os has the compass sensor buit in. So, i've installed apps for compass reading but these doesn't work properly. They intialize and stay freezed. I have installed others that use g-sensor like 'Level' and it works fine. I assume the compass sensor fails. Is there any way to test it?
Thanks in advance for answers

Occasional freeze and Sad iPod on restart after replacing harddrive

Ok, need another techie to offer an opinion here. I started having issues with my 60gb a couple months ago, freezing, getting the sad ipod screen alot and getting worse. I determined to the best of my knowledge, being a Systems Analyst at work, that it was the harddrive. The ipods out of warranty, so I found a replacement drive online from a HD company. I installed the new HD, and after finagling it for a bit (battery very low) I restored it. Working great, until this morning on way to work, it froze on me and had some difficulty reseting, I finally had to do the System Reset from the Diagnostic Menu. This happened once again at work. It's been running fine for the last 2 hours, so Im not sure whats going on with it. The new HD was guaranteed 100% working and free from errors. Anyone have any ideas?

Do you (or anybody out there) think that restoring to an earlier software version would also resolve the (now infamous) problem of the folder-with-question mark icon?
Unfortunately, I believe we're still using the original software that was mailed with our Ipod. As of now, the Ipod (4g) does nothing but beep and show the folder with a question mark.
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem? as we're just out of warranty? Many thanks.
Hello,
This is more of a results post than a question post.
Recently I had several problems with my clickwheel
iPod, including having it freeze and not respond and
eventually going into the failure mode of cycling
through the icons listed in the the subject line. I
tried all of the recommendations I could find,
including Apple's "five Rs" and going into the
diagnostics mode as described in this site (more on
this later):
http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmo
de/
All tests came up Okay.
I tried erasing (using the iPod internal method and
the Disk Utility in OS X) and restoring the iPod
countless times. Nothing seemed to work.
Finally, I managed, somehow, to get the Disk utility
to show the hidden 32 MB FAT partition (I can't
remember how this happened). I erased (formatted)
and restored that, and instead of restoring the
current (3.1.1) iPod software version, I restored to
3.1. This seems to have done the trick. I'm fairly
certain that just restoring to 3.1 would have fixed
the problem.
The troubles started shortly after updating to the
most recent software version and seem to have gone
away by backing up to the previous version.
I think going back a software version would fix many
problems people suddenly seem to be having with their
iPods.
Cheers,

Drag and drop doesn't work after upgrading to Yosemite

It is strange. Since upgrading yesterday to Yosemite, my drag and drop does not working consistently. I use drag and drop all of the time, into emails, moving files from one folder to another, moving music from finder to itunes, etc. It seems each time I try to drag a file, initially the Finder window I am dragging from crashes and re-starts. Once it re-starts, I actually am able to move a file as normal for about a minute or two. After a minute or two, if I try to drag and drop a file, again it crashes and re-opens.
Does anyone have any ideas? I did submit a bug notice to Apple, but thought maybe someone would have a fix.

I'm not sure if this experience relates to your issue but maybe..
After upgrading my iMac to Yos, I could only select and copy files to relocate them. Frustrating for a couple of days. I eventually found that the setting on my trackpad was for three fingers over a selected file/folder window/etc moved the item to where I wanted. It had automatically changed to this preference. Its called a 'three finger drag'. The video shows a pane being moved but it also applies to all files etc. It can found in preferences/trackpad/point & click. Here you can turn it off if that is hat is causing the issue. Otherwise no software solutions I'm aware of. Good luck.

Satellite M30 - Screen freezes and then goes white

Hello,
After searching with M30-241 and finding nothing, I'm trying this way. My Notebook is 2,5 years old has been repaired once because of the white screen and now it's doing it again. When playing a game like snooker 2003 the screen freezes you can hear the sound going on and then the screen starts getting transparent until it is completely white.
I have to press the power bitten and shut down the system but it only happens by gaming. Word, excel, PowerPoint, films no problem.
Thanks for your help

thanks for your help fireman6135

Hi Anton,
This situation is usually caused by the Graphics/CPU chip getting too hot. I suggest you try cleaning out the ventilation grilles of your notebook and also make sure that there is no obstruction to the free flow of air through the cooling heat-sink.

Satellite C660-13R - Wireless and Ethernet do not work after format

Hello there,
I just formatted my laptop and I only get Internet connection with a usb wireless antenna...
Neither ethernet, nor wireless seem to work. Before the format it worked fine.
Here is the product
http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/satellite-c660-13r/
Please help with a solution...
Should I consider death of the adapter and stop trying?

Ok you have formatted your laptop but we don't know what have you installed and which OS version do you use.
As I can see in notebook specification your notebook was delivered with preinstalled Windows 7. This original version (recovery image) contains all necessary drivers and every hardware component is installed and configured properly so everything should work well.
It is very important to know what have you installed and what is teh status of communication devices like LAN and WLAN cards. If both devices are installed properly LAN should work without any limitation but WLAN card must be enabled and I don't see the reason why you should not be able to connect your machine using WLAN connection.
If possible post some detailed info about preinstalled OS version and hardware status.

[SOLVED]Keyboard and touchpad doesn't work after reboot from Arch

Excuse me, but i'm a newbie. I'm not sure if this is an arch problem, but i will just post it here.
I've beening using Arch64 and it works just fine. However, every time i reboot from arch into Windows 7 (32bit), the keyboard and touchpad will stop responding just when the Win7 splash screen shows, however the mouse works fine. Then when you shutdown the computer (from win7 now) it will take apparently longer time, and sometimes i have to press the power key 5 seconds to make it shutdown.
It seems the correct way (to reboot from arch to win7) is to shutdown down the computer first and start it again, and everything will work fine.
And rebooting from win7 to win7 or arch to arch or win7 to arch will work fine too.
I'm glad to post extra information, but I've got no clue and i'm not sure what to put here.
The laptop is a Lenovo Y450 with Intel Core Dual P7540, 4G Memory, NV GT240M. Kernel version of Arch is 3.0.6 (but the problem existed long since earlier versions) I don't have a swap partition. If you need extra information, please mention the item.
Thanks a lot!

Hi!
That is indeed strange. Since your external mouse works fine (which probably is connected via USB, right?) it appears that the problem lies somewhere around the internal keyboard/touchpad access. I'm not sure how this works with a Lenovo Y450, but just try to enter BIOS (in case you have not been there, you probably have to hit F1 or F2 during startup - less likely it would be delete or escape ...) and look for your keyboard/touchpad options.
You should probably find something like "... legacy support ...". This is a relic from PS/2 times and emulates your internal input devices as PS/2 devices. So - when found, just change the setting (you cannot mess anything up, and both systems will probably not even pop up a message). My guess is it is set to "enabled" and Arch somehow messes with the PS/2 emulation in your case .... so just turn it off.
good luck

Mail and iCal doesn't work after restart

Hello, after rebooting my Macbook Air I can't use Mail and iCal, which is starting automatically in the background. Please help me. Thanks

Try these things:
First, restart the computer, test. If the problem persists:
Test in a new user; if the problem persists, reinstall your OS (boot up the computer holding "option". Click Recovery HD, then click "reinstall Mac OS X". This will not delete your data, but I'd recommend a backup beforehand anyway, just in case). You can also click "Disk Utility" in the Recovery HD, and attempt to repair your boot disk (Macintosh HD), and restart and test before reinstalling.
If the problem does not happen in a new user, try pulling the preference lists for the two programs. You can find these by clicking Finder, going to the Go menu, hold option and click Library. Click Preferences, then scroll down to "com.apple.mail.plist" and "com.apple.ical.plist". There should be a few of each, pull these to the trash. Restart and test. If the problem still happens:
Safe boot the computer by starting up holding Shift. Test. If the problem still happens, there is some interference from a third-party program, and you might need to disable or uninstall it. You can disable third-party items on startup by going to Apple menu>System Preferences>Users and Groups, then clicking "login items", and removing (not un-checking) the third-party programs from the list. I'd remove anything that isn't absolutely necessary to start up when the computer launches. Note: This does not delete or uninstall a program, but only prevents it from opening when the computer first boots up.
Restart and test.
If the problem still happens, reply and list the steps you have done.
Good luck!

Touch id doesn't work after replacing it?

Hello,
recentlly i've replaced my home button on a iphone 5S - clicking it works great, but Touch id fails - PLZ help.

Thnx for it replay.
It's not a question of support under warranty. If Apple doesn't sell parts, it doesn't mean that they can't support a technical question. It's known that people do fix there phones. Can't understand why they won't answer a simple question. It unimaginable that some one has to buy a new phone just cause he had it fixed. Not supporting this is the same like monopolizing the free world of marketing. It's enough that Apple locked some phone with iCloud ( let's say that's understandable ), but this is just to much. Apple wants some one to spend money to buy a new phone, rather fixing it for much lower amount?

Headphone jack doesn't work after replacing housing

Anyone else here have this problem? has anyone talked to RIM about this?

I recently had the same problem. My iPad, bought in November, worked until about a week ago. My wife took it in to Apple and it was replaced immediately. Unfortunately, my new iPad is having the same problem. I've "pounded" my headphones, car jack, home speakers and nothing works. They all work on the iPhone.
I think there's a serious problem with the headphone Jack and we're just now finding it. I see similar responses to the iPad 2. I'm taking mine back into Apple this weekend and proving my point.

Satellite M30-604 - Hard disk mechanical failure

My satellite M30-604 is within warranty (bought 10 months ago) and my Hitachi travelstar hdd crashed out of the blue. The crash is probably mechanical so I can not use data recovery software (it makes things worse). The only way to get my data is to give the HD to some specialist who will open it in a "clean room" for something like 300 - 600 Euros (!) and try to recover as much as possible. Now:
-> Toshiba says that if I do that the warranty is void and I will also have to pay for a new disk (+ 100 euros)
-> If I want to replace the disk (warranty) then toshiba gets the old disk and I lose my data forever!!!
WAIT A MINUTE GUYS!!!
a) this is my data, my work and you CAN NOT blackmail me with this "warranty void" stuff. I want my old crashed disk back! I want to try to recover as much as I can! my 10-hours-a-day work is IN there!
b) Moreover even if the heads of the disk crashed, my PERSONAL, PRIVATE data are still in the disk and CAN be read with special techniques. How can toshiba (or any other company for that matter) ask me to hand it over to them?
What should I do?
What would you do?

Hi there,
I sympathise with your problem and can only suggest the following thoughts :
1. Recovery of your data would seem the most important factor here. I would suggest removing the HDD yourself so that it can be sent to a specialist to recover what data is possible.
2. Since removal of the HDD does not usually involve extensive dismantling of the notepad it should not invalidate the remaining warranty (other than on the HDD itself).
3. A replacement HDD can usually be obtained quite cheaply from one of the internet sellers (check using GOOGLE for a suitable replacement). you can then re-install your operating system from the recovery CDs.
4. I would suggest investing in a suitable backup software package (such as Norton Ghost) to avoid this problem in the future. (I have had four replacement HDDs on my Satellite A30 in the last 12 months).

Cannot install modem on SATELLITE M30-604

I can't see my modem in the Device Manager. I can't see a com-port in the device manager.
When I choose controlpanel>phone and modem options I see no modem.
I choose the Add-button. My modem is not detected. Then I have the option to install it from a list.
I choose Have disk.
I choose the Browse-button and
I select the Tools&Utilities CD ROM that came with my notebook (or the downloaded files from Toshiba).
I select the (D:\Modem Driver\NETHERLD)ltsmwxp.inf file on the CD.
Still NO models appear in the Install new modew window.
How can I install my modem?

> hi,
>
> do you use the Toshiba Recovery OS or did you
> installed your own MS vullversion?
Thanx Pelox.
I' am sorry but I don't understand what you mean. The notebook came with Win XP and I ungraded it to Win XP Pro.
> In the first case the modem should be detected when
> you started the notebook the first time ever. If it
> is not detected then the modem has a hardware
> failure.
The modem worked fine with Win XP Pro. I do not know when it stopped working because ad home I have a T1-connection. I use the modem only on the road.
> Secondly you should try to install at first the modem
> driver from the Tools&Utilities CD secondly you
> should download the current modem driver from
> https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/ Driver &
> Downloads
I did. But when I try to "Add new hardware" no models/drivers can be found when I select either .inf-file. (And I know how that should look like!).
> In the end, when no suggestion solved the problem,
> you ca try to recover the notebook with the Recovery
> CD (but save important data before starting!). This
> procedure set the notebook back to default OS
> settings and if there is a software or driver failure

> failure!
Sorry but this does not feel like solving a problem :-))
At one point, after a restart, the modem seemed to install (what a wonder) automatically. After the next restart it had disappeared :-((
When I read the log, I find:
Opening the modem device failed with error 000005aa.
Another question:
When looking at Toshiba-download-site I can choose some modelno. for my notebook. I have a Satellite M30-604 with an upgrade from Win XP to Win XP Pro. What modelno. does that make? Is it a sm30x?
