Problem with L355D-S7901 random shut off

My Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7901 has begun to shut down a lot, regardless of being plugged in on AC power, or running on battery. I have cleaned the fans and heatsinks with compressed air and a toothbrush many times, yet the problem persists when running what should be very simple things. In the past week, this has happened more than a dozen times and it certainly seems to be a heat related issue. I have updated all software, run virus checks and spyware scans and made sure I'm running the latest version of the BIOS from Toshiba's support site. We loaded Speedfan and see temperatures ranging from 45C to 75C.-167f Any suggestions?

Check all leads from motherboard to hard drive including electrical extensions and all of your cd/dvd drives make sure connections are secure dust free and not faulty
computers need all power and data to travel through every working device and to finish its cycle
so any faulty lead will end in computer error or shutdown or fail to boot

make sure your computers RAM modules are securely seated with no dust in the sockets also the Cmos battery has charge and seated with no dust in the sockets
some motherboards cmos batteries are soldered in
might be getting hot check your CPU make sure it has a thermal paste and a dust free and secure seating

could be a memory dump you might be running to many programs at the one time placing to much strain on the CPU you might not have enough RAM random access memory

hope this helps you

SOURCE: My Toshiba Satellite A505-6989 hangs

Hi laxboy001460,

This is a No Boot issue but just to isolate the issue for us to determine if it's a software or hardware issue kindly proceed with the steps below:

  • Turn off the machine. Once off remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter. Then, without any power source press and hold the power button for 15 seconds. Release the button and put back the battery in and plug in the charger. Turn on the machine. Check if you'll be able to boot up.
  • Try to check if you'll be able to boot up on Safe Mode. Turn off the machine then, turn it back on. The moment you turn it on immediately keep on tapping the F8 button. You'll be given with Safe Mode boot options. Select Safe Mode. If you are able to boot up on Safe Mode then, you have a software problem. You have to reload the Operating System of your machine to resolve the issue.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: Why My TOSHIBA SATELLITE A660-13Q Froze during

Possible that PC is hanging up as there is fault on the OS ( operating system) . So open the internet options in the browser and clean all the cookies, temporary internet files, defragment the drives and RESTORE the PC to an earlier set date.

You can use a registry cleaner like Advanced system care. Download from the site and check you system for corrupt files. Also use a good antivirus software which is active to keep your system performing without an attack on the OS. Remove all unnecessary programs installed which you do not use all the time and clean up the drives. This will free up the space and make your system faster.
If there is no response but the PC tends to work slower and occasionally hanging when a program is being executed then you might have to install the OS once again. Install the OS and then an antivirus before the drivers of the PC is installed.

Also a fault on the memory can be another issue but an hardware problem that needs a probe.

Can i replace a toshiba l355-s7901 motherboard with a toshiba l355-s7915 motherboard

Going out on a limb here, but I'm going to state yes, except the s7901 has hot keys in the center strip under the LCD screen. Above the Keyboard, where the Power On button is located. The s7915 doesn't.

Toshiba Satellite l355-s7901,

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Toshiba-Satellite-L355D-S7901.14988.0.html

You can click on the photos towards the bottom to enlarge.

Toshiba Satellite l355-s7915,

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Toshiba-Satellite-L355-S7915.19879.0.html

Same with the photos at the bottom.

I know this doesn't seem like a very professional answer/solution, but in viewing both of the laptops the ports, (USB, DC Power Jack, etc.), and the peripherals, (DVD optical drive, add-in card drive, etc.), seem to be in the same place.

Viewing a Service Manual for the Toshiba Satellite l350 series of Notebook PC's, shows removal procedures to be the same across the board, no matter what model deviation it is.
As long as it's one of the Satellite l350 series.

http://www.tim.id.au/blog/tims-laptop-service-manuals/#toc-toshiba

Go down to the second Satellite file header. The one that starts with Satellite A10.
Now go down to the second line, and then go across to L350, and click on it.

This is a PDF file. May take up to 30 seconds before you see the first page, and additional time to fully download.

Do I know for a fact they will interchange? No, I do not.
I'm willing to bet strongly that they will.

Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7901 will not bootup. Hard drive light, lights and just stays on.

pull the ram individually and see if that allows the computer to boot. If that does nothing then you would need a new motherboard.

Computer hangs up on shutting down screen

Ok.....

1. Make sure ALL user accounts are logged off!!!
2. UPDATE ALL DRIVERS
3. Check to see how many Programs are running while attempting to Shutdown the PC..(the more programs it tries to close, the longer it can take...(ESPECIALLY WITH LOW AMOUNT OF RAM/SLOWER RAM)
