Satellita A40 problem
Your heatsink is probably blocked. Many older laptops run HOT and will shut down very quickly if there is no ventilation.
You can check this by shining a flashlight into the fan vent and checking it's visible when looking in the heatsink vent (or vice versa)
You can dismantle the laptop to get the dust out.
OR
Or use a can of compressed air to blow through the heatsink grilles and dislodge the dust, followed by a vacuum cleaner nozzle over the fan intake to **** as much dust as possible back out of the machine.It may take several blow/**** cycles to clear it entirely - don't be surprised to see enormous quantities of dust erupting from the fan vent when you first use the compressed air.
if you take the second option, don't dismantle the case and it's best to do this with the machine running. Plastic vaccum cleaner nozzles carry a hefty static charge, but as long as it remains outside the case the components will remain protected and the area where the air runs through the case is entirely shielded from the rest of the machine.
If the vent isn't freely flowing air when you've tried a couple of cycles (check with a flashlight for airflow) then the machine will have to be dismantled and the dust removed manually (I've seen accumulated dust turn into 1/4 inch thick felt blocks in some laptops and have had to write off many laptops used by smokers as they had become a toxic health hazard.).
Dismantling a laptop is not a job for a novice as it is easy to damage electronic components with stray static electricity charges and plastic case components while pulling things apart It's also possible to wreck cases by overtightening or using wrong length screws when reassembling.

Battery not charging
Rechargeable batteies have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles. Over the life of the battery (over 2 or more years old) it will degrade and its charge capacity will be reduced as the battery ages and eventually will not charge at all.
The only option is to replace the battery.

Wi fi card or adapter
Hi,
First check that you have got right adapter for your laptop.
then check that your motherboard actually supports a wi fi. IF you have everthing sorted then go ahead and plugin the compatible adapter. Also, be sure to have the latest driver installation disk ready.
Start your PC, it should detect it and then ask you for the driver.
If this dosen't work or you are unsure then my best advice is to take it to an authorised vendor and let him do it, no use playig around with an expensive laptop.

Japanese Visa Application with COE denied. Why?
How to Get Employment Security With Correct Japan Work Visa Japan is no different from other developing nations whereby grass seems greener on its side of the pasture. It attracts its fair share of foreign businesses as well as nationals seeking to work within its lands. Albeit many adhere to immigration procedures, some choose to test their limits on the basis of ignorance or defiance. By understanding the different types of work visa in Japan, it assures its foreign workers a continual stream of income with no threat of arrest and deportation. Visa simply infers the status of residence. Citizens obviously have no need of it as they automatically satisfy qualifications to freely reside in their country of birth. As for those of alien status who wish to join the local workforce, there should be a category to match one's requirement. Since most countries strive to improve the overall quality of life, professionals are generally welcomed to contribute knowledge and skill. Unskilled labor is normally not granted a visa to avoid flooding and dilution of the workforce. The visa is awarded in accordance to one's area of expertise. Supported with proof of relevant experience, it is based on the field of involvement whilst working in the country. In the event one's work scope changes from one expertise to another, it is essential to apply for a visa under the new circumstances. Different types of work visa in Japan also apply to foreign companies seeking to conduct local business. Domestic companies based abroad wishing to set up a local point of presence need to provide supporting documents to justify internal transfer of foreign workers. Governmental staff for diplomatic duties is assigned a category for legal residence. Over and above the general groupings, designated activities also garner approval from the authorities. Domestic service for non-native residents and citizens of certain nations on working holidays fall into this category of working visa. This, by no means, is the end of the list as it is best to consult the authorities on which visa serves best.Click Here For More Details: http://japanjobandvisaservice.com/blog/change-your-luck-when-apply-work-visa
