SOURCE: gateway 7422 laptop xp: shuts down randomly no

It seems to be that CPU is overheating. I request you to check CPU fan speed. If needed replace the CPU FAN. it will fix the problem.

SOURCE: My NV52 lap top computer shut down on me the other

remove the battery and try to power on the computer using just the charger. if you can try to use a different charger. if the charger light still goes off when plugging it in your computer then it might mean that there is a short in your motherboard. you can try removing the peripherals (i.e. memory, harddrive, DVD or CD drive, wireless card, battery or modem) to check if it is one of the peripherals causing the short. if you have removed all the peripherals and the system still doesnt turn on or if the power light on the charger still turns off and you have tried the charger on a different computer then it would mean the motherboard is damaged.

Gateway NV52 won't wake up.

Is it clean? fan and vents? Unplug, remove battery, leave battery out, plug in, reboot. If that fails, Re Boot and try a System restore/recovery to a date before this issue. OR, Boot to Safe Mode, use this procedure to select Normal Boot: http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_win7.html When/If you get a Normal Boot, Open Control Panel, Power Options, select High Performance, select Change Plan settings, set plugged in both to Never, set advanced setting to your preference. Use this procedure: http://windows.about.com/od/customizingwindows/ss/set_power_options_all.htm Always shut down and unplug your laptop when not in use, remove battery when you use on AC, your Laptop/components will last longer, and will not be subject to possible power surge damage and the battery, IF it malfunctions will not cause a fire hazard.

Notebook Crashes to PowerOff state when lid is closed

Running intense program with the lid closed will cause a sharp rise in temperature making the laptop hotter than it should be leading it into a shutdown. The second issue, windows should be shutdown properly rather than closing the lid, this makes the operational system unstable and will cause files to corrupt eventually.

I want to use a external monitor keyboard mouse and close the lid and keep working on the computer

I'm not sure if you'll be able to close the lid because you might need a laptop that is designed to work with a docking station to do that.

Anyway, you can hook an external monitor, usb keyboard, and usb mouse to the laptop and continue working as usual.

Why wont my philco washing machine drain or spin

Many washing machines won't spin or drain if the lid isn't closed. It could be that the switch detecting the lid close position isn't working or the tang that presses the switch isn't depressing the switch enough. Check to see if the lid is closing all the way, if so, then locate lid close switch and pressing on the switch with a Q-tip. If other functions stop when the lid is opened and work when the lid is closed then you have another problem. The problem could be in the wash cycle switch, try spin and rinse all the different settings.

It will fill up with water but nothing else

check the lid switch,set the timer on spin,push it in so it will run,get a screw driver or anything that will fit into the hole on the right side,that's the lid switch,the strike on the lid hits it when you close the lid,if the switch is broke it kills the power to the machine,it's a safety so the machine won't run with the lid open,when you push down on the switch you should hear a click and it should spin and drain,if you don't hear a clicking sound the switch is broke,or you can close the lid,lift it up a few inches and close it down,do this a few times,when it closes and opens if you don't hear a clicking sound the switch is bad.part number 3949247 and it's around 45 dollars.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFsvLiuTniU copy and paste,it will show you how to get at the switch.let me know what you find so if someone else has the same problem they will read what you found,thanks

Lid switch shorting somewhere. In this model there is no pin that I can ses. But after removing bezel it flickers but I need the location of the lid switch to check. When opening lid slowly it sometimes...

Probably not a lid switch related problem. In the more modern Toshiba's, the lid-close switch is generally located either above the keyboard area or underneath the front end of the palmrest (towards you), and the lid-close function is activated by a magnet located either above or below the screen. Best way to check if the lid-close function is working properly is to use Toshiba's power management to set the system to go to either stand-by or hibernation upon lid-close - and if the computer goes to stand-by or hibernation when you shut the lid, then that part is functioning properly.

A better, more detailed and precise description of the problem with the screen will probably help in addressing the real problem.

Blank screen when turned on, hdd runs , cd runs but no screen output

Hi

This sounds like the backlight has gone or possibly the invertor. May be best taking to a reputable repair centre where they will probably charge you around £140 to resolve as they will probably change the screen.

One other thought is that sometimes the switch or sensor for the 'closed lid' may be sticking. Locate the little switch that shuts the notebook down when the lid is closed and just ensure it isnt stuck down.

Close lid of laptop without shutting down system

You have to configure what laptop do when the lod is closed . go to Control Panel , Power Options , Advanced . In this tab you will see an option " When I close the lid " and a drop down menu just choose do nothing and press ok . It will not shut down your laptop when lid is closed .
