Help?

I'm pretty sure my fan is okay. If I have an overheating problem, my computer tells me though. Because one time it said something like "Your computer is overheating, shut down will occur in blahblahblah." I was about to send it off then, but I think it was just because the fan was blocked or something because the problem fixed itself and everything was running fine..

I think the burning of my power cord could have been the other day when I left the computer against some pillows and left it on and went downstairs. I didn't think about it at the time, but it was a bad idea. I came back and there was a funky burning smell, probably from my power cord getting fried, LOL.

If I keep it on a table, with the cooling mat on, or just on a table, it seems to run fine... So I'm thinking I just need to start using it at my desk. If the problem persists, I'm going to get it checked out.

caseysmom We do have a computer help station thing here, I completely forgot about it till you mentioned it. I'll run it by there if things don't get better.

You may also want to see if there is a BIOS update available. Ive had Dells and Toshibas come through the shop with overheating issues that a BIOS update helped if not fixed.

Do you know where I could find that at? I've tried Toshiba's website but they don't have my model number listed anymore.

The Satellite T-135 has been recalled. Link. The BIOS updates appear to be on the linked page as well. So it seems you arent the only one with this problem.

Well, I installed the BIOS and it's going to have to be sent off, I don't know what to do because I rely heavily on my computer for college .

Call Toshiba and explain your situation, maybe they will send you a new one? How long have you had it?

Well that sucks but it doesnt suprise me. Toshibas are really a pain in the arse to work on.

Copy as much as you can to a thumb drive and then use the pc's in the library for the week or so it takes...you will be okay just take a deep breath I know it sucks though.
