Satellite Pro 6100 shuts down after 15-30 minutes

My satellite Pro 6100 cuts out after 15-30 mins operating on mains power. There is a snapping sound and all lights go out except slow flashing amber (power problem). I restore it by removing the power cable and waiting a while.
It will then boot up again. I have used two different power adaptors and two different battery packs. It also happens if running on mains with no battery in. My suspicion is an overheat cut-out. Does the Sat Pro have one? Might it be clogged with dust inside (it is 5 years old)? If so how do I clean it out. I don't think it is fan failure as I can hear the fan cut in. Advice much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there,
Me and my partner, have the same LapTop, and I've located the problem in connector between PSU board and MainBoard. So, if you've never opened your LapTop, now is the time, but be prepared with tools for SMD soldering. Usually, the connector on MainBoard is the problem. The reason for this is that Toshiba made flaw in design of the housing and admitted that, which resulted with court order for replacing the LapTop with some models from newer line for that time, or paying cash amount ($1.000). I intend to repair my LapTop in a way that I will replace the connectors (both on PSU and Main Board) with thin wires. I know that this is a hell of a job (160 solder points) but what can I do, I love this machine. I am working on Compaq EVO N-610c, but he can only eat the dust from Toshiba.
Regards,
Alek
P.S. If you want to consult me about that matter, feel free to contact me on my e-Mail: [email protected]

  • Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while

    Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while. When it shuts down the

    Hi
    Believe me; its not easy to say exactly why the BSOD appears.
    Generally it happens because of the serious software malfunction or hardware fault.
    Did you use the OS from the Toshiba image?
    There message says something about sysaudio.sys.
    This file is a system audio WDM filter process and its a part of Windows OS. It controls the hardware like printer or graphic card on a lower level.
    Note: The virus uses such files as a camouflage. You should use always a anti virus application.
    Furthermore you have suggested that the notebook shuts down after 5 min.
    Well, this sounds like a overheating issue. How did you use the notebook? You should know that the free space around the notebook is very important because of the air circulation. The ventilators should be also free.
    I you use the notebook in the right position and this will happen again so I would recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for the help. They should check the notebook.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 shuts down for no reason

    When I turn on my laptop it stays on for at least 15 mins or more and then shuts down and the DC-IN led flashes orange.
    Does anyone know what is happening I have read the manual and everything?

    Very often the power board unit gets loose inside of the Laptop and needs to be pushed back into its place. Same happens quite often to the VGA card adaptor, too. If reseating won't help, either the power unit or the main board might need to be exchanged for a new one :(
    You can ask Toshiba service to reseat the power-board/VGA card for you. The addresses you can find under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true
    Call them and explain the situation.

  • Toshiba Satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds!!

    my laptop satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds of booting , i dont know why ?? and i searched for support in the website and didn't find it in the model list, also i don't know why ???!!
    i want to know why it shuts down , and how can i communicate with support

    Yours would not appear to be a US model. We need the Part Number for your laptop, like PSAG8U-05K02C. You can find this on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your laptop. As well, what country was it originally purchased in. In addition, what is your operating system version, like Windows Vista 32bit?

    Hi
    In my opinion the overheating is the problem. First you can try is to clean up the unit properly. I presume that CPU and graphic card runs very intensive and produce a lot of warmness. If the hardware can not be cooled properly the notebook shuts down suddenly.
    Clean it up.

  • Macbook pro unexpectedly shut down after an usb plug in

    My macbook pro unexpectedly shut down after an usb plug in, and it won't turn back on. Please help!

    I have this problem also. The only way to get the computer to turn back on is to open the bottom and disconnect the battery then reconnect. I have found similar problems across the web, some people seem to fix the issue by resetting the SMC, but that doesn't do anything for me.

  • Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop shuts down after about 1 minute

    Despite being plugged into AC power, my Lenovo 3000 N100 shuts down after about one minute. It boots properly but suddenly shuts down. I have not used this laptop much since purchasing it in 2006 and have seldom used it on battery power alone. Any suggestions before I buy a new battery? Maybe I am mistaken, but shouldn't the computer work on AC despite a depleted battery?

    Hi Charleydog and welcome to the community,
    Take the battery out  and unplug the ac.  Hold the power button down for about 15 seconds.  Do it twice.  Then plug only the ac in and see if it fires up.

    My computer shuts down after about two minutes of use or at startup. What is the problem?
    Yesterday I used it for about ten minutes.
    Yesterday was the first time using it after about 5 days.

    Could you tell me how to check my system log, and how to tell if it is the disk cache? I am pretty sure it is not the GPU as I was having the problem using a Quadro 4000 as well.
    Thanks!

    Without proper system information and other details nobody can tell you anything. If the program shuts down after a while then presumably it fails to verify your activation, so refer to this:

  • Since I installed Mountain Lion, my iMac has shut down after 15-20 minutes. I have adjusted screen saver, shut down time, and sleep after. Nothing seems to help, any ideas?

    Since I installed Mountain Lion, my iMac has shut down after 15-20 minutes. I have adjusted screen saver, shut down time, and sleep after. Nothing seems to help, any ideas?

    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
