kamicota Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 StrikerSuppose it can be anything from Dodgy Plattens in the Hard drive ( which seems unl,ikely as bthis happens with both 60G & 30G drives) to a loose wire, something in Bios which may also be unlikely as it is a very simple NOT complicated Bios to ??? Just hope it is ready on Monday after I take it inCheers for YearsColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Hi ColinOne thing you should maybe tell the repair shop is that you changed the HD for a bigger one and that maybe that caused an excess of heat as well . . . and that this overheating combined with the "natural" overheating the Toshiba has by (de)fault ( see complains on many forums on the internet ) could have caused damage to the motherboard/CPU. . . . . . . . . . ( Well, just guessing here . . . ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks BrunoI have the 30G in mainly because of my wanting to be compliant with the warranty even though it may not be necessary.I will put your insights on my sheet with respect to the overheating problems with toshibaCheers for YearsColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
