RECALL ALERT: Toshiba Laptop!

Fri Jun 24, 2005 12:52 pm

It comes to my attention that there is a recall on Toshiba Satellite A60 and A65 notebooks! Toshiba says that its rare but in some cases the A60/A65 can overheat making the plastic on the right corner of the case melt.

Toshiba Qoute - "The overheating and deformation occur only when the notebook is booting and resuming from standby or hibernation, and can be avoided by installing BIOS ver. 1.70 which was released on October 22, 2004, or a later version."

Affected Models of the Toshiba Satellite A60 and A65 are as follows.

A60-S156
A60-S1561
A60-S166
A60-S1661
A65-S1064
A65-S1065
A65-S1062
A65-S1762
A65-S126
A65-S1261
A65-S136
A65-S1361
A65-S1063
A60-S1662
A60-S159
A60-S1591
A60-S159ST
A60-S1592ST
A65-S109
A65-S1091
A65-S1066
A65-S1067
A65-S1070
A65-S1069
A65-S1068

If you own a Toshiba Satellite notebook with one of the corresponding model numbers, it is highly recommended that you update your BIOS immediately!
