Anyone here have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that you bought, only to discover the overheating flaw? Think you can't afford to have it repaired because the warranty ran out?

Well, I found out today that Toshiba extended to warranty on ALL these laptops so it won't cost you a dime to get it repaired. Most parts are in stock now since the bug is a couple years old.

Just letting people know that they can get their Toshiba Satellite laptop repaired for free. :)

Interesting. My girlfriend just got the Satellite A45 from a family friend who didn't need it anymore, and has definitely noticed the overheating. Can you point me somewhere for more info or details? Thanks.

(I didn't see the A-45 model in there, but it's worth a call to a local Toshiba servicer to find out. Use the scroll bar on this link to find out info on your particular model. http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1075665079.1155216146@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccccaddiiedfgddcgfkceghdgngdgnn.0)

Where is my nearest Toshiba servicer?

Hope this helps people. I have an A-75 model and I'm getting a new motherboard, new casing, and new fans for free and it will be back in 5 business days :)

I have an old Toshiba (2001) and never noticed any overheating. Is this just a problem with the new models?

Don't see anything in there that deals with overheating (wrong link?), unless its just a problem that relates to "may lock up or reboot when touched." I'll give Toshiba a call though, thanks.
