Satellite P100 - 429 A3 Turning off when windows loads

Heya. This is a serious problem that has rendered my Notebook unusable. I was just wondering if anyone knows what it is.
I was in a source game when it happened for the first time, I jumped in the game and the laptop just cut out. No shutting down, it just turned straight off as if someone had held the power button. I stared at it for a minute then powered it back on. It seemed to go fine, I thought it was just an odd hiccup, but then after it had finished the windows loading screen, it did exactly the same thing. Now every time I start up, it get's past the loading screen and sometimes it get's to the Welcome message, soemtimes before the cursor is even loaded it will turn off in the same mannor.
The only things I have recently changed is the BIOS (which is my obvious suspicion.) I was just browsing the Toshiba website drivers page and I found a BIOS update for my Notbook cliaming that it had been improved. So I downloaded and installed it, once the installation had done it's job the Notebook restarted, but on first run Windows bluescreened before it had even loaded. Then after that it was working fine until now.
I also tried to use a Windows disk to do a recovery of windows. However, the recovery console caused the same thing. Within a few seconds of initializing, the computer just cut out.
If anyone has a clue what's goind on, please let me know.
Sorry for any typos, I'm not on a familiar keyboard.
Thanks again.

Well, this sounds like an overheating issue. Fact is that all internal devices run with a full performance during the game playing. This leads to a high temperature inside the notebook. If your ventilators are not free due to the dust and debris then the notebook will shouts down to prevent the hardware from damage.
In such cases the fan cleaning is necessary and advisable.
I have had a similar issue on my notebook and solved it using an compressed air spray!
In my knowledge the Sat P100-429 belongs to the PSPA3 series.
You should really be 100% sure that you use the right BIOS.
However, its also possible that the notebooks hardware malfunctions.
In such case the hardware check is needed. Such test can be done by an authorized service provider in your country.
Good luck

Satellite Z830-10M speakers turn off when lid is closed

Hi,
I am running a Z830-10M with an external monitor. I want to close the laptop lid but use the internal speakers, but when I close the lid, the speakers stop sounding!
How do I fix this?
Thanks.

Yes, that was the issue. The monitor is connected via HDMI, but it does not have any speakers.
However, the computer does not realize this, and tries to send the audio signal to the monitor anyway.
*I fixed it by disabling the HDMI audio output, and choosing the internal laptop speakers as default speakers.*
Now, the sound is coming from the laptop, even though I have an external monitor plugged in via HDMI, just like it should be!

Satellite P100-429 - No sound after Windows 7 installation

I have a Satellite P100-429 Purchased Nov 2006.
I have just upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and Office Pro Plus. All works well but there is no sound if I try to play a CD. I have done usual checks for Mute etc. but no Joy. In device manager a yellow triangle with exclamation mark within is against my sound device. C
an I download a new driver to solve problem or is it more complicated than that? Than you

Hello
For me it sounds like that you didnt install the sound driver for sound card
According the Toshiba website there is no 64bit sound driver available for Satellite P100 but I noticed that Satellite P300 supports Windows 7 64bit and has Conexant sound card too. Maybe this driver is working for you too.
Just search for Satellite P300 drivers and test the sound driver It should work! :)

Need WXP drivers for Satellite P100 -429

Hi,
I had to reinstall windows XP on my gf Satellite P100-429, but she lost the origina disk, so when i installed the new XP there are the following devices missing drivers (they have yellow question mark beside them) and I cant connect the laptop to the internet.
1. Audio Device On High Definition Audio Bus
2. Ethernet Controller
3. Mass Storage controller
4. Netwrok controller
5. SM Bus Controller
6 Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
Can anyone tell me where I can find these drivers, i have been looking all day for them.
I imagine if I can find them its just a case of putting them on a disk or usb key and installing them ?
Thanks a million.

You must see this problem from other side. Fact is that all drivers, tools and utilities must be installed in right installation order. How to do this is listed in Installation Instruction document and this can be downloaded on this download page for your notebook model.
Obviously you didnt follow this order and some drivers are missing now.
1. Audio Device On High Definition Audio Bus try with sound driver and install also modem driver
2. Ethernet Controller install LAN driver
3. Mass Storage controller is chipset utility installed?
4. Netwrok controller is WLAN driver installed?
5. SM Bus Controller try with flash media driver
6 Video Controller (VGA Compatible) display driver
Install this and post result but, as I wrote before best way to install all stuff properly is to follow install instructions document.

Screen not turning off when closing the lid

I have Windows 7 64-bit installed on my MacBook Air 13.3" as the only OS.
Everything is working great with the bootcamp drivers except that when I close the lid the screen does not turn off. I don't want to turn off the notebook but only want the screen to turn off when the lid is down. I have looked a lot for a solution and am not able to find anything which can solve this problem.
There is nothing in the power options that can be done. Bootcamp is supposed to recognize this by itself, but unfortunately it doesn't.
Does anyone know a work around for this?
Thank you

That is correct. I have noticed the same thing. Windows 7 gives better battery life on MacBook Air then Mac OSX.
I went to talk to a Genius about this, pretty useless, told me to wait for an update. It has been half a year but no update yet. This is the only problem with the Bootcamp drivers I have experienced. I have managed to live with it, but is still pretty annoying. I always once in a while think about finding a way to fix it, but there is nothing that can fix this problem. Unless someone at Apple sees and listens to what is going on in the online fourms and fix the problem.

Pavilion dv6- turns off when power cord removed

There's a certain way I can unplug it where it doesn't shut off- but 99% of the time when the adapter is pulled out it shuts off. Has a new battery that shows 100% charged, and lasts a good hour if I can get it to stay on when unplugged. ONce it shuts off, it only comes back when the adapter is plugged in. Do I replace the adapter, battery (again), or something else?

Hi @SavannahsDad
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that your notebook turns off when the cord is unplugged. I am happy to assist. If the battery is showing as fully charged whenever you do this it almost sounds as if there is a bad connection between the battery and the notebook.
Here are some things you can look at for now.Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)
AC Adapter Battery Charging Indicator LED Does Not Display Immediately When Plugged In
Battery Charging Is Not Indicated in Vista or Charging LED Does Not Turn On
Improving Battery Performance (Windows 8, 7, Vista)
Let me know if any of that is useful to you, or if you see any other symptoms.

Why does my music turn off when I open Safari on my iPhone 5c?

I noticed that my music turns off when I open safari on my iPhone 5c. What's the deal?

I figured out this will happen if any of the pages that are open in safari on your phone are open to a page that contains media. Note this means any page regardless of whether it's the one you are viewing. So if you go to a site that has media, then open a new browser window and go to a page that doesn't have media and then open iTunes and play a song...when you switch back to safari, the music will stop. If you close the first browser window and try it again...the music will continue to play.

Horizontal spry menu style appears turned off when on the internet though can view it in live mode!?

The style of the horizontal spry menu seems as to have been turned off when on the web though is visible and functioning on CS4 Dreamweaver design and live views. I have styled the spry menu and can view it in the properties section though the style setting is there on the internet it looks as if the styles have turned off and appears unformatted vertically when it should be a cascading horizontal menu bar. Not sure where the error is, I have looked at the coding and as I'm not the most experienced with spry.....
this is the coding above the head.
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript">
<link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

</script>
I have noticed that SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css doesn't appear in the spry assets folder, does this matter? (not sure how to insert into the assets menu). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks for testing it. I'm not sure how to proceed though as the css file is in my local_sites/spry assets folder for the website. I've tried to point it to other (copies of SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css) and spry assets folder externally from the site and again internally in the root folder and seems to make little or no difference.
Your suggestion of what it should read,(sorry to sound so naive at all this) though would you mind giving a step-by-step guide on how to go about it? as I'm obviously missing something in the setup process.
thanks again for your help.

My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen.

Hi! My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen. I tried with different chargers, still dead! What's weirder is that my sister who has iPhone 4 experienced the same today! No we don't live in the same house!! Does anyone have the same problem?

Macbook works fine when plugged in, turns off when unplugged.

Hello all,
As stated my 2008 Unibody 13 inch, serial number W8******1AX turns on and works fine when it is connected to power.
When it is unplugged it instantly turns off and turns its fans on full until it depletes the battery (so it is obviously getting power.. just not where I want it)
Since the problem began I have tried two new batteries, neither of which had any different symptoms.
Before this, the computer had an intermittent life, it would turn off when it saw fit, which got progressively worse.
I have followed the guides to resetting the SMC but have had no luck
I have been running it without the battery (to save it charging and discharging for no reason) and sometimes when plugged in without a battery
the magsafe green indicator light goes from dim to bright.
With the battery installed it stays bright orange until it is charged and then switches to bright green.
(I have tried it with another charger, same symptoms)

There may be a hardware cause behind the symptoms you cite, so a diagnostic
is recommended to see which parts are weak or failed in the computer. A visit to
an Apple Store with Genius bar may be helpful, as they can perform testing there.
A call ahead or use their web page, to schedule an appointment, is advised.
In the US and Canada, the Genius bar at a retail Apple Store can perform
a diagnostic service, for no fee, even on Apple products without AppleCare.
See links:
Apple - Concierge
Genius Bar - Apple Retail Store:
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
List of Apple Stores, cities, countries:
http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/
Also authorized Apple service providers who can test, repair and guarantee their
work should be able to handle an out-of-warranty older Mac, within age limits...
Ones too old for the Apple Store could be serviced at a Specialist, instead.

•Did you try resetting the System Management Controller?

•Calibrating is part of maintenance, esp with older portables:
Apple Portables: Calibrating your computer's battery for best performance
•The power adapter can be problematic and cause issues, so there's this:
Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
Also another item, other than keeping the magnetic connections clean of
debris, grime, and corrosion, is to check the MagSafe Board or have it
checked as part of a greater diagnostic. This board is behind the port
that supplies the computer and the battery with power from the adapter.
When it partially fails or if/when one of the connecting wires or plug fails
you can find odd issues or partial use. The battery may charge but it
may not be able to power the computer, and other odd effects.
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook
In older portable Macs, this was generally called a 'DC-in board' and as
such, you could read about it in an iFixit repair guide for the MacBook
model you have. These vary so the matching article is recommended to
see if that is something you may want to try. But I would have diagnostic
testing done and avoid additional damages from attempted DIY efforts.
There have been a few reports of other failure on the logic board that
contributes to a partial failure of the charging system, so about all this
may do is troubleshoot around the failure without finding an exact cause.
However it goes...
Good luck & happy computing!

Hi there 8472kck!
I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. That information can be found right here:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
