    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.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    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?

    I thought about doing a system restore and taking the bios off and using the computer on battery power 95% of the time and only charging when I had to, but I don't know how much of a risk that would pose to me or the computer.

    It'll be Thanksgiving before I can even send the laptop off because I'd have to send the box to my house (which is 2 hours away) and I won't be at my house until Thanksgiving...

    I'm planning on telling Toshiba that they need to fix this ASAP and that I NEED a computer and see what they say. They'll probably give me the "there's nothing we can do you'll just have to wait until we fix your laptop" speech and I have a feeling I'm not in the mood to deal with them being jerks. So, they'll probably end up getting a mouthful from me.

    Oddly enough, the computer is charging right now... I kind of need it for my first class today but am slightly afraid to take it.
