Toshiba A300D rebooting after shutdown

Hi !
I've a bit problem.
When i shutdown my toshiba, it reboots after 10 minutes. It's very annoying, if i forgot to remove the batteries, he is overheating in my bag until i realize it is on.
Someone on the ubuntu forum have had the same problem :
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.p … 73326.html
But his fix does not work for me...
IMPORTANT: i'm still trying, but I suspect that after completing the procedure, turning off the pc will not work properly anymore: infact the pc STARTS UP AUTOMATICALLY AFTER SOME MINUTES!!! :lolflag:
NEWS: the computer after installing bluetooth when is turned off, automatically powers up after a random time: the solution for this is to write acpi_osi="Linux" next to kernel boot parameters in /boot/grub/menu.lst
I added acpi_osi="Linux", but it didn't worked...
If you have any solution, or any workaround, please help me...
Thanks in advance.

Any New developments / suggestions ?????????????
When USP charging cable is connected to both the live wall charger and iphone,
the iPhone will succesfully 'Slide to Power Off'.
When the USB cable is not connected the following:
1. Hold down power button until "Slide to power off appears".
2. Slide the slider.
3. Iphone gets the spinny wheel.
4. Screen goes dark for a second.
5. Apple logo then appears and the iphone eventually turns back on.
6. No Apps are installed on this 4S.
7. Restored on iTunes several times, No change.
8. Changed USB Cable, No change.
9. Cleaned Connector port w/ brand new, Clean, soft tootbrush, No change.
10. Blown clean air into the connetor, No change.

Neo4 - reboots after shutdown ***Fixed***

I've had this problem since I put my comp together. When I shut down windows the computer shuts down normally, but then after a few seconds or sometimes right away, the system reboots... I have to switch off the power supply to shut it down permanently.
I've tried reversing the plugs from the power switch to the motherboard, but it doesn't help.
It is getting a bit annoying and I'm wondering if there might be some other cause that I have not thought about?

I really thought you had this checked before .
Quote from: syar2003 on 21-March-05, 17:53:15
Spontanious startups is usually caused by the PSU ( if there is not a wakeup event triggering it).
It can also be a service or driver that crash during the shutdown , forcing the system to reboot instead if automatic restart is enabled in windows,
Honor to Fredik for hitting it right on the spot .

K8N Diamond reboots after shutdown :censored:?

I hope others are experiencing this too, I'd hate to be alone! Almost everytime I shutdown my PC after about 3-5 seconds it reboots by itself. Is this a known prolbem?

amt, I have a Neo4 Plat which is a different board but had a similar experience after I installed my Opty 165 but was also dealing with SATA II problems and it puzzeled my on what was going on. I had a problem with bios not recognizing the Opty which I fixed with a MurdocK modded bios and got firmware upgraded on Seagate SATA II- then end result was that it went away during this process but it is still a mystery Hope you can figure yours out. I had to hold power button down for a couple of extra seconds after it shut down or it would magicly spring back to life.

Z77A-G43 Computer Reboots after Shutdown Issue

I recently built a new PC using the MSI Z77A-G43 motherboard and installed Windows 7. Everything seems to work fine except one thing - the PC immediately restarts itself after It shuts down through the normal Windows shutdown process. I have read many forums on this similar problem and have tried a few things such as 1) unchecking automatic restart in the system properties dialog box. 2) Changing the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon "PowerdownAfterShutdown" to a '1'. 3) Updated Windows fully as well as installed the latest drivers for everything. 4) Made sure that in BIOS all of the Wake Up Events are set to Disabled. In fact I even changed Wake Up Event By [BIOS] to By [OS]. 5) Cleared BIOS by taking the battery out for 5 minutes, as well as updating BIOS to the latest version 2.2. 5) The only IO card is the graphics card and I switched that out too and it did not make a difference. None of these options seems to correct the problem. I am convinced there is something wrong with this motherboard. Has anyone else had this issue with this or another motherboard? Anyone have any other solutions?

Sometimes a short within the chassis can caused such issue as well.
I suggest that you try booting and shutting down the hardware out of the chassis and see if you can replicate the issue.

ProBook 4430 reboots after shutdown and when power is removed.

I have a probook 4430 sitting on my desk and whenever I shut down the notebook just boots itself back up. It will power itself on when you insert the battery and also if you do get it to fully shut down and remove the power coord then it boots itself back on(with battery ofcourse). There were no hardware/software changes. I have double checked my connections to the board and everything appears in order. I changed out the power/wifi button assembly as well as the DC power jack also. Any suggestions would be much welcomed I'm banging my head against the wall here.

If you click on the Apple menu's, "About This Mac," and then click on "System Report....," it will give a battery condition report. Best guess, as stated by Kappy, is that the battery needs to be replaced.
If he bought in the summer of 2014, it should still be under warranty.

Toggle Full Keyboard Access is Not Working after Shutdown/Reboot

Hi,
I'm yet another keyboard maniac and somehow as above subject was keep re-occured every time after enabled it, I've turn it on full keyboard access in system preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. All seemed to be good before I shutdown or reboot my macbook pro. I could access all the dialogs and windows. After a reboot or shutdown, all the dialogs from any other apps can still be accessed via keyboard except one single window, the shutdown window (both from hitting apple->shutdown and control+eject.) I have to toggle control+f1 or control+f7 every freaking time in order to enabled keyboard access to shutdown/reboot. I've tried "defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode" in terminal and it returned 3 which is "Full Keyboard Access ON and All controls" even after a fresh reboot:-
+++++++++
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
3
+++++++++
But when I'm using sudoer to check the result was set to "0" means disable:-
+++++++++
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ sudo defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
Password:
0
+++++++++
So what I do for the workaround/fix is by the set value to enabled it using root access level or sudoer:-
+++++++++
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ sudo defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleKeyboardUIMode -int 3
+++++++++
Once done do reboot your Mac & check the result in Terminal should shows as below:-
+++++++++
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ sudo defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
3
=========
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
3
+++++++++
So it's fixed for my issue. If anyone have better suggestion or the proper method please share.
Thanks in advance.

10.5.2 Feature causes machine to shutdown upon reboot after upgrade.

After upgrading to 10.5.2, the machine reboots, then after
a lengthy spinny gear on the up swing, it promptly turns itself off. Boot up several
times, same result. Boot into single user mode, run fsck, after clearing
the boot disk, fsck gives me an error of some non existent drive. New in 10.5.2:
"the computer will now shut down if an automatic disk repair does not succeed during startup."
Turns out i had an old entry in the /etc/fstab file ... silly me.
Anyway just passin that one on for all other forgetful folks.
-miles

OK,
I at least got the repair to work and it said there were no problems. I remember when I was waiting for the reboot after the 10.5.2 install that the fans went all crazy in my iMac and then settled down. I remember an issue a while back where this happened and it was because of the SMU... or System Management Unit. In older Macs it is called the PMU (Power Management Unit) so do a search for that if SMU doesn't bring anything up.
Resetting this usually resolves power related issues.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733
The above link describes how to do it on the iMac G5... you may need to do a search in Apple Support for your particular Mac. Be sure to use the search field on the left of the screen, not in the Apple.com navigation bar at the top right.
Did you also try resetting your PRAM? You do that by restarting (or starting) the Mac. Press and hold CommandOption+PR all at the same time. Keep them held down until the computer restarts again. I just did this (and still haven't reset my SMU) and the Mac has not shutdown on me yet.
If it does start to shutdown randomly again I will reset the SMU and let you know how it goes.
Good Luck!!

I cant reboot. Shutdown freezes at sending SIGTERM to processes

I could use some advice. For the past 4 months or so I have not been able to do a full shutdown or reboot. When I run the shutdown -r now or reboot commands the process starts but freezes at Sending SIGTERM to processes. At this point I can switch to diffrent terminals with Ctrl+Alt+F? but I cant type.The only thing I can do is hold my power button down to shut off. I have been searching online fore awhile and restored my rc.shutdown script to the original backup I have from months ago but I am still having the same issues. Ill attach my local and shutdown scripts
Thanks for taking a look.

Qosmio F20 blue screen of death after shutdown

Hi there,
I get the blue screen of death after shutdown on my Qosmio F20 laptop.
Error is IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
I assume that it is somehow related to tv tuner card.
I have tried to restore system - no good. After restoration for some time it was OK. But then BSOD appeared again.
Sometimes it also appears when I connect USB HDDs or even when I insert DVD disk.
And for shure everytime I shut laptop down.
Has anybody got ideas?

Hi
Reading you last message I really dont know what you expect from this forum ?:|
We all here can provide only some suggestions and opinions.
Without any notebook tests and checks nobody will be able to provide a magic solution
I hope you understand this.
So back to the notebook issue.
There is a one way to find out if the issue could be related to the software or hardware.
You have to reinstall the notebook with the Toshiba recovery CD. If the same BSOD will appear after the installation from the recovery CD then the chance are that the hardware is faulty!
I think you should check this out.

Oracle VM 3.1 Server automatically reboots after - stopping it

When I try to stop my OVM 3.1 server, using shutdown, or init 0 the server stops, but automatically boots again....
Anyone run into the same problem?
Thanks for all your suggestions

The OVM server? Yes OVM Server :)
I've not seen this before. It could be that the hardware doesn't support the poweroff signal from the OS. Although I'm not sure if it is that much of an issue, as you rarely turn off / on the OVM servers themselves. You can easily power it off if it does a reset not a poweroff.The reboots after "init 0" disappeared once after I added a third NIC to my box, and dedicated it for virtual machines
ie, my Windows 7 box, on which I setup the entire VM infrastructure using VirtualBox has 3 NICs. Two for the VM Server, and the third one for the VM Manager.
The second NIC with VM Server configured to handle the traffic from Virtual Machines, isolating the 1st NIC for all other VM Server traffic. No more rebooting with VM Server and always shuts down with a "init 0"
Hope this info is useful for few others out there
regards,
raj
Adding something I missed with last post
Following sequence is always used to shutdown the VM Server as my setup has NFS shares setup from VM Manager server itself
1. Shutdown VM Server first (Stops all heartbeats etc gracefully)
2. Stop OVMM service on VM Manager server
3. Shutdown VM Manager Server

Post 10.4.11 update, iMac restarts 30min after shutdown

Hi everyone,
Sorry if someone else has posted this, but I couldn't find a similar problem on the forum.
Since updating a few days ago, my mac no longer stays permanently shutdown, but restarts itself around 30min after shutdown.
I have run the combo update, verified disk (no problems), verified and repaired permissions, checked all the energy saver preferences were correct etc., but the problem is still occurring.
Can anyone advise what might be done to remedy this?
Thanks very much.
Mike

What you are descrbing is a kernel panic, a good number of kernel panics are caused by bad RAM. Combined with your spontaneous reboots that sounds like it might be the issue. I'd get it on the bench somewhere (Apple Store, local reseller) and have the memory tested.
And no, random reboots and shutdowns are not typical.

Can I set my screen view to zoom out (ie to 90%) permanently, so that after shutdown it remembers the settings for all pages whenever opened (until I change it again) ?

On internet explorer I can set the 'zoom' to 90% and all subsequent internet pages, tabs, windows display at this setting even after shutdown/reboot etc. It is a permanaent setting until I change it. I need this for my eyesight (long-sighted). Can I set this with Firefox?

If you need to adjust the font size on websites then look at:

* NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

Hi.
Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&langua ge=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=userMachines&search =&action=search&macId=&country=all&selectedLanguag e=17&type=all&page=1&ID=58477&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42
bios-20070709111839.zip
After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
Thanks in advance

What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
Good luck
Greetings
