Following around 150 complaints from concerned consumers, the electronics giant Toshiba has made the decision to implement a voluntary recall for some of its Satellite T135, T135D and the ProT130 laptops.
The issue surrounds the adapter or rather the plug side of the adapter, it seems that the plug and cable are prone to overheating, which can be dangerous if left unfixed.
Toshiba have issued a BIOS, that will cut off the adapter should a problem arise, but this means that the computer cannot be used anymore! The BIOS can be found here: Satellite T135 v2.70 for the Satellite T135, Satellite T135D v1.90 for the Satellite T135D, Satellite Pro T130 v2.70 for the Satellite Pro T130.
