My Equium A200-1V0 keeps shutting down after approx 15 mins - seems to be overheating. I dont think the fan is working therefore I need to find a service manual to show me how to open the laptop up to see if it is just stuck or to get a replacement and replace it myself. Any ides where to find a manual?
Hi, just thought I'd let you know that when I got my Toshiba Equium 200-1V0 it was supplied with the User's Manual A210 Series. The manual is just basic and does not go into full depth of how to clean out heat sink etc. The problem you described regarding the shutting down is most probably that the heat sink is clogged up with dust and needs to be cleaned. Toshiba has a lot of laptops (different models) with this problem. I had the same problem with Toshiba A200-1V0 and have now got the same problem with the Toshiba A300D-20R which is only 6 months old! On the A200-1V0 I managed to hoover the bottom of the laptop where the fan is and it worked fine, but with the A300D-20R it has not worked, but fortunately it's still under guarantee so I will be sending it back to Toshiba to do it. Here is a link to download the Manuals. You will find the Manual for A200-1V0. Hope this helps. http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_manuals.jsp?service=UK
I am having a similar problem, on the exact same model. I have seen one or two other mentions of this elsewhere as well. This, to me, indicates that the problem is in the model. However, I am inclined to believe that it is a software problem. Regardless, I am afraid I have no solution and am hoping someone else will.
No manuals avalible. sorry
