Satellite Pro A100 shutting off for no reason
Posted: 03-Nov-2011 18:25

Hi

I have a pro a100 that i think is overheating.

It runs for about 30 minutes then switches of and reverts to the initial boot up screen "Toshiba" ect, tires to boot then repeats the above.

I have blown the dust from the fan intake and air outlet and this has improved things, now runs for about 90 minutes.

I want take the base off to clean it out properly but cannot find a service manual to tell me which screws to remove.
Would anyone here have a service manual for this laptop, if so would you be willing to e-mail me a copy.
As it is now "end of life" would this still be a problem?

I am competant as I repair Blu-ray players ECT.

I have blown the dust from the fan intake and air outlet and this has improved things, now runs for about 90 minutes.

So I think that the notebook is affected by higher temperature.

Cleaning the fans inside the notebook and assigning new thermal grease might help.
I found really useful page which could help you to get some tips:

But of course everything you will do is your own risk.
