A30-514 - fan on permanently!

I have a 12 month A30-514 - fan is on continuously, making lots of noise, while the system is clearly not overheating. Any ideas?

Hello

installed the Toshiba Power Saver? unless you can download it http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com - Driver & downloads.

If this does not resolve the problem, you need to retrieve the laptop (same as backsetting to the default OS setting), but book all your date before you do!

If you have fiished you should look at the laptop and the fan. If the problem is not resolved, you should cotact service partner because a new high system might work!

  • Re: Sound on Satellite A30-514 problems

    Hi all

    I recently bought a used Toshiba Satellite A30-514.
    I checked and got everything works except the sound and wireless WLAN. I learned that with the wireless, there is no card so that I hope that the problem has been resolved.

    Now to the sound issue.
    I checked all the way through the sound settings, try the things usual e.g uninstall Realtec AC97 audio and sourcing the driver on the Toshiba site and install again, although when 80% through it causes an error while it just goes right to 100%.
    In the Device Manager it happens now with the yellow exclamation point and the properties now show that this device cannot start (code 10) location: PCI bus 0, device 31, function 5.
    It comes up with no device in the sounds and audio devices.
    I tried upgrading the bios (already the most recent) and tried to uninstall and reinstall, but does not work on anything!

    Please someone help ive spend a whole day faced with my brain, but nothing helps, I hope that someone had the same problem and knows more to help, I will be much appreciated if you can help.
    Thanks in advance guys!

  • On-line discharge battery (model A30 - 514)

    I have problems with my A30-514. Even when the power supply is connected and the notetop seems to be running of AC power, the battery discharging itself and finally the power level is so low that the laptop stops.

    It seems that the laptop is controlled by battery power not HQ. I currently use the laptop without the battery inserted - i.e. on AC only, and it is absolutely perfect.

    I'm no longer under warranty so please don't suggest just going to a service partner!

    Do I need a new battery? Or is it a hardware fault?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi rich,

    I have a similar problem with my A30-141. I found through experimentation that this situation arises because of a temporary interruption of power to the adapter. In my case, the interruption is caused by a loose fitting located at the rear of the laptop taken.

    The effect is to cause the power system switch to the battery, even if the network is connected (and shows the LED at the front of the laptop). The only way I can fix it is to reboot the laptop.

    I have now set the adapter cord to the back of the laptop to prevent any movement of the power supply in its decision-making.

  • Satellite A30-514 looks very dead

    Satellite A30-514 friend is sitting right here in front of me:

    1. the switch does nothing; push or pressed.
    2. every six seconds a motor turns for a second
    3. in the six second gaps the disk and CD lights flashing briefly, and there is a slight click
    4. then the disk and CD lights flashing just until the engine is running
    5. the screen shows nothing
    6. I tried to get to the BIOS (ESC, F1, F2, Del, F12) - nothing.
    7. a bootable CD in the drive does nothing.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you, Tom

    In my view, there is nothing that you can do it alone. The laptop must be verified with special diagnostics tools. Ask your friend did it last days with this laptop.

    Maybe update the BIOS?

  • DVD player does not recognize some media on Satellite A30-514

    I own a laptop Satellite A30-514 with Microsoft xp OS. For some time, some DVD (no games) will not play of the drive. some other not. It is not a problem of region - they are all region 2. Windows does not read the disc when inserted and does not record a disc in the drive when I show 'my computer '. CD is the game normally. This could be a (internal) driver problem or my CD DVD combo is all just too old now?

    Thank you, Mary.

    Hello

    To give you a precise answer, it will be interesting to know what DVD is not readable. Meaning of the word "media" is in general and not helpful to understand the problem.

    Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model, and it is possible that the WEIRD feature is not good more. You can try to clean the lens.

  • Satellite A30-514 is very slow and how to repair the cooling fan

    My laptop is now very slow. Power on the need to use F1 at startup and it is also quite the slowness of the process. My machine has 512 MB of RAM, but shows only 480 MB on Control Panel. It is believed that it's a RAM failure that made the slow machine or something else. I tried maintenance but did not help.

    Also any what has got the details how you can open the unit up to service the cooling fan as the machine heats up a lot and need a maintenance operation.

    Regarding the problem of slower. Perhaps?

    Concerning the problem of heating. Perhaps?

    This can help because it shows different disassembly guides model hough, she did not directly mention the A30. He mentioned a problem of heating with an A35.

    You should take note of this warning on the page well!

  • Why my A30-S203 fans work all the time?

    Hello everyone,

    Fans of my A30-S203 always working at the intermediate level. In fact my average CPU usage is not more 3 percent. But these fans never cease.
    What could be the problem? This sound is really annoying me. And I think that it could also cause a hardware fault.

    Thank you...

    Hello

    Have you checked the settings of the power management utility?
    As far as I know there is an option called cooling method.
    Please change this option in Mid performance mode or in silent mode.

  • Satellite A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

    Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
    I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

    I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

    This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

    Hello

    It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
    Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?
    Check if the IDE controller is enabled and the Boot section. The CD/DVD drive should be selected and activated.

  • No Satellite A30-514 have WLAN or not?

    My A30 seems to have a Wlan switch on the side, what ideology turns on when you press the power button. I heard that he is a loser, and the laptop doesn't have these features, and it doesn't appear in device mananger. If this is the case, the manual is WRONG in saying that the WLAN switch is available only on laptops with WIFI.

    Is it possible to install this setup in Windows?
    Thanks for reading

    Hello

    As far as I know that the wireless LAN card is optional on this unit.
    In this case, the unit has been delivered without Wireless LAN card, but you can upgrade the laptop with a compatible WLan card.
    Usually, you should find a WLan card plug at the bottom of the unit.
    Contact Toshiba service partner to order the Wlan card compatible
