Toshiba satellite 1805 boots up and then shuts down within a minute. power supply ok.. just quits.. Any suggestions?

power supply must b okay but the lead connecting laptop may have gone faulty, try changing it, if this is not the reason then some internal hardware problem

Two separate problems, sounded like..

White screen? If external video is okay then it's likely (1) a bad screen, or (2) a disconnected video cable.

If the system shuts down, I'd check the fan - if the fan is reasonably clean and running, then it's probably a bad motherboard.

If it starts to format then quits, it means the harddisc is damaged.

Hi Fhiken!

That modell comes with 256mb rab and supports up to 512mb ram.
The ramtype on it is SDRAM

I hope the info helped you

Usually this means it supports 512 mb of "Single sided" ram, which is rarer and more expensive... the usual ram you buy now is double-sided.. which will often only see one of the sides in older machines.

ok..when turning it on..hold down F2. to go to set up..and see if that new drive is activated..be careful in there..there are loads of things that can go haywire.

insert the bootable disk then if it cant boot contact above email adresse
process for solving the problem:
insert bootable disk that is ur dos xp or vista disk
then the screen will display press any key to boot from cd/dvd
press any key
then format ur hdd and install fresh new os
imp:dont use piracy . piracy also one of the cause of this problem

First off im affraid you cannot totally rely on ANY software with regards to Thermo sensing
they are only an indication and can be anywhere from 5 to 25 degreeC out, dont get me wrong
generally you can get a good indication but thats the best they can be. Listen for fans kicking in then staying on, keyboard getting warm to hot.
If the machine is just cutting out that would suggest power supply either charger fault etc (is the battery fully charged when it happens) or overheating, if its shutting down the first thing i would try is running in safe mode see how it performs, check for any spyware/virus, run
Hope helps for now let me know
