A60 Pro satellite fan does not

Hi all

I have a problem with my sons laptop. Intermittently, the fan does not start and after a while, the computer overheats and stops.

The problem is not the fan itself, it runs for a few seconds when always first turned, but then sometimes does not start again.

When this happens, the only way I can get the fan works again is to remove the battery (with no power applied area) and leave the laptop for a little while, then re - turn on the power (battery or sector, it's okay)

Only, I arrived at this "difficulty" by accident after many hours of troubleshooting, upgrade the BIOS, cd restore and apply all other updates from the support site (which did nothing).
When 'fixed' portable tracks without penalty - until the next time, he decides to "free" itself!
The closest I can find as to the cause of this is that it seems to happen when the battery has been recently fully charged (i.e. charged during the night), but it is by no means certain that the fault will be re appear.

As part of my diagnostic tests, I installed a utility material, which shows that, in default conditions, the CPU temperature is always reported as 18 centigrade monitoring. It never varies.
When you are working correctly (the fan) the CPU temperature is shown as variant.

My best guess is that is some sort of glitch in the system management bus and eliminating completely any kind of power it resets somehow.

If anyone has any suggestions on how (if?) I can cure this permanently, I would be very grateful.

Have scoured the forums for references, I've not found anything about this problem.

Thank you
Steve

Hello

I agree with you when you say that it is a very special problem. Because of this, I really put t think you will be able to find a quick fix to this problem. Fan behavior is really strange, but watch the CPU temperature is also unrealistic and it is about 60 C and cannot be 18 C as shown.

The fact is that fan activity depends on the temperature of the system and sensors to measure the temperature. Here, we can speculate on all, but believe me, the device must be checked properly. I'm 100% sure it's hardware related issue and installation or recovery will probably not solve the problem.

As you can see preinstalled monitor tool completely unrealistic show its temperature and it has something completely mixed up.

I recommend you contact the partner of service allowed in your country and let check the device and the motherboard. They have designed special tools and I don't know that they can give you an exact explanation what the problem is.

  • Satellite Pro C650 - cooling fan does not work

    My Satellite Pro C650 overheats and stops automatically within 20 minutes of leaving upwards. I checked the CPU fan and noticed that it does not turn upward, even if the laptop would become very hot. I tested the fan with a 9 volt battery and it works perfectly.

    Can someone tell me exactly what the problem is? And how to solve it.

    Thank you.

    > Can someone tell me exactly what the problem is?
    On this virtual path, no one can say with certainty what the problem is. We can only speculate what may be the problem.
    Usually, cooling fan starts immediately after starting the laptop slows down and offers the optimum temperature of material. After reading your ad I didn t understand how it works. He turns and there is no sign of life?
    Problem can be power.
    Cooling fan will be controlled by sensors of temperature and activity depends on the temperature of the material but if your machine cooling fan does not work, I imagine that there is no electric power.

  • The CPU fan does not work on Satellite A60

    Hello world

    I have a little problem with my laptop.
    I noticed my cpu fan does not work. only the second fan are working fine. (general fan)

    my PC is a satellite A60
    You have a solution to find why my fan does not work?
    THX

    Hello

    I put t know what fan you mean because I saw only a single fan at the bottom of the unit. However, perhaps the second fan is hidden.
    It's not easy to say why the fan doesn't work. Maybe dust clog up the fan and cooling module may not work correctly. You can try to use the vacuum cleaner to clean the fan.
    If it doesn t work so I guess there must be something wrong with the material and to fix this, replace this part. But in this case I recommend to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. He has much more experience in such cases.

  • Satellite Pro 6100: error message - cooling fan does not work

    Hello
    I have a SP6100 and it keeps giving me an error message about the cooling fan does not. Then he tells me to stop immediately and runs very slowly. The fan come on, but after three or four short bursts it stops and the message appears.
    Is it a mechanical problem with the fan? I took out the radiator and the fan, and it was clean and not sticky.
    What is a system problem? The BIOS has recently been updated.
    Should I just invest in a new cooling unit and if so where would I get one?

  • Satellite P105 - GPU overheating as fan does not work

    I brought a Satellite P105 - S9337 laptop computer around a year ago and it's been great, but I had a problem that began a few months ago. The GPU fan does not run under windows or any OS. It works correctly in the BIOS, but when I hit the operating system, it will stop. This is obviously the cause for overhead.

    -J' tried different drivers of Toshiba and other sources. Currently using 7.15.11.5666 which was the last version of Toshiba.
    -Tried all BIOS and running 4.40.
    -Cleaned it if sure there is no dust blocking the fan wheel.
    -I even sent to Toshiba for repair 4 times and it comes back with the same question.

    It's as if the fan control is equal to change the operating system when it reaches him like bios and basic OS (dos, the flash media bootable back past) works very well. It runs when she is hot and stops when it is ok.

    At the moment that I leat overheating for a while then he seems to remember he's a fan after 30 minutes or more and comes into play. It works on OS at full speed, until my laptop loses power or I unplug battery, that I did today to increase the RAM.

    There must be some drivers or BIOS out there that allows the BIOS to manage the fan or it just as it manages itself is so it doesn't overhead. I'm not pleading can someone help me with what it's getting very boring. e-mail is [[email protected]] If you want to contact me, because I'm out of ideas.

    If I can't get this resolved I'm thinking of dismantling and wiring of the fan on but would prefer to avoid that for now.

    My laptop (P100-481) was overheating too since I have updated BIOS 4.20 and above all. The latest version of the BIOS with work-fan control was 4.00.

    There are two ways to set the fan control:

    1 go to BIOS 4.00. You'll get stuttering in games because the initialization of GPU in the form of Versions all 3.30 to 4.00 are buggy.

    2. you can try this way: [http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?s=679696d192a1f43137253716ebd799b8&showt = 19190 CIPO & view = findpost & p = 79039]

    It's not easy install a double Windows, but it worked for me.

    There is a bug in the BIOS 4.20 4.30 and 4.40 and a lot of people have trouble with the GPU fan. So hopefully Toshiba find time to fix it in the near future.

  • Problems with Satellite A300-1 b 0 cooling: fan does not stop

    Hello users,.

    I m new on Linux and Ubuntu, I installed ubuntu 8.10 last week;
    All things are ok, ok start menu because I have XP, network ethernet connection and wireless, updates ok, ok packages!
    just one thing that make me "' it's my laptop fan, I explain:
    He turned on since I have connection ubuntu and it will be off only when that I disconnect "shutt down" my laptop, so it never stops until the

    the use of ubuntu, because with xp there start but if the processor is cold it is stop! and restart and etc...

    So if anyone has an idea, you are WELCOME!

    My laptop configuration:

    Satellite TOSHIBA A300-1 b 0

    and I have the patched with the latest bios of the toshiba site
    Date of the bios 07 2008 v3.7 blistering

    > The use of Ubuntu, because with XP there start but if the processor is cold it is stop! and restart and etc...
    If I understand correctly using the Win XP the fan does not always with some breaks. Is this good?

    This isn't a problem but a friend feature.
    As you know the GPU creates a lot of heat.

    This is why it is important that the fan is way on and to cool the GPU or CPU if the temperature reached and some point.
    I put t know what temperature must be reached, but it cannot be too high due to overheating problems.

    Second graphics driver Toshiba control the performance of GPU and the dissipation of the heat too. If the temperature rises to a critical level (applications executing heavy performance) the diver decreases performance to ensure that the heat dissipation would come down.

    But this happens only if the cooling module will not be able to cool the internal temperature.

  • Satellite A10 S203: the CPU fan does not work properly?

    I have toshiba satellite a10 s203 and the cpu fan does not work correctly. What can I do about it?

    Hi SACRIFICE them.

    Here are some possible solutions to this problem of fan.

    1. When you have installed a base installation of MS (not the Toshiba Recovery CD) you need to install the Toshiba Power Saver and others utilities from the CD tools & utilities. The energy saver is responsible for the control of the fan.

    2. If you have a recovery based OS, you can update the energy saver of http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com site Web Toshiba under Support & Downloads - Download Driver

    If please check this and an answer then follow the next step!

  • Satellite L505 - 10 X cooling fan does not work

    Dear friends, good computer Toshiba Satellite L505 - 10 X Day.My laptop cooling fan does not work. The CPU temperature is not displayed in the application of PC health Monitor. Kindly guide me to solve this problem, cordially, Siva

    Simply because the temperature is not mentioned in the Toshiba Health Monitor, it doesn't mean, that the cooling fan is not working properly.

    You can hear fan running cooling?
    The laptop is turned off unexpectedly?

    In my opinion if the cooling fan would not properly work, internal temperature should rise very quickly at a critical level... in this case that the laptop must close automatically...

    But if the device does not turn off and if you are still able to use it properly, so I doubt that there is a problem with the cooling module.

  • Satellite L505 - 10 M - fan does not start

    I have a problem with my Satellite L505 - 10 M.

    Suddenly the fan does not start over and because of this, the laptop get quickly overheated and stops. I installed Windows 7 top me, quite some time ago, and this time it was 2 weeks ago while it just happened this evening. I have not installed anything new and nor I did something special with him, he just does not start fan more.

    I checked this forum, cannot find anything either, searched and could not find any problems with Linux and the fan, but not Windows (it does not start at the start of the bios either).

    If anyone has a thought, a similar experience or a solution, it would be really useful

    Greetings,
    JanPieterz

    Hey Buddy,

    You have installed Windows 7 Microsoft disc or Toshiba Recovery disk?

    Well, if the fan doesn't start anymore, you can t a lot and I think that the fan needs to be replaced.
    What you can do is load default settings in the BIOS (press F9 key in the configuration of the BIOS) and save settings. Also clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air, maybe the fan will be blocked by the dust.

    If he doesn t it work s time to contact a technician for laptop. If your laptop is under warranty, the repair will be free. :)

  • Satellite P850-30W - the fan does not work after returning from the mode "Eve"

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P850 30W with bios 1.90.

    Sometimes the fan does not work at all after back mode standby on windows 7.
    What happened twice (perhaps several times without knowing me), and Ive had the computers for a month.

    Normally the fan starts to run when the CPU gets more than 50 degrees celsius and stops less than 50 celisus...

    I tried running Prime95 when this fan-this occurs and the time of the computer got dangerously high (near 100 degrees)! the fan did not start at all
    .. .This error could damage the laptop potentinally...
    to get the fan turns once again I have to restart windows

    anyone experienced this?
    I guess that the fix would be to never use standby... or toshiba needs to fix it with an update of the bios.

    > Sometimes the fan does not work at all after back mode standby on windows 7.
    > What has happened twice (perhaps several times without knowing me), and Ive had the computers for a month.

    You said it's happened twice and only sometimes done this means that above all the fans are working well?
    In this case, this would mean that it of difficult to reproduce this problem, but you might be right: maybe a BIOS update would help solve this problem permanently

    I found some discussions on the stand-by mode and fan activity and in most cases, the update of the BIOS was the key.

  • Satellite A500D - fan does not stop

    Hello

    Two days ago I updated the Bios to version 1.20 win, and since then, the fan is constantly at 72% and the temperature of the CPU at 36 º.

    At Toshiba, I say it is normal, but the fan does not stop at any time and the noise is annoying.

    Anteriormento updated the BIOS, the fan stopped and started and never surpassed 54%.

    Looks like a vergueza by the care service, they have given me, I tried to deceive, as is normal for a portable fan that keeps 72%.

    Please I need someone to tell me where I can download before my Bios and how to install it.

    PS: My processor ens Turion Rm-77.

    A welcome message

    Hello

    You mean the cooling module fan didn't run all the time with the previous BIOS version?

    Well, in this case you must downgrade BIOS to the previous version.
    The problem is that you can download the latest version of the BIOS from the Toshiba page.

    But maybe a Toshiba ASP might help you and may downgrade the BIOS to the previous version

    But have you tried to change the settings in Win 7 power option?
    You can find it in the control panel-> power options

    There you can change modes of single power supply.
    In the power settings advanced, you'll find settings Toshiba energy saver and there you can change the method of cooling while the laptop is running on battery or power.

  • Satellite P200D-139 - fan does not work properly

    My laptop is constantly overheating and the fan does not seem to be varying RPM even in a stress test. I cleaned the cooling fins and assured that everything is properly installed with the right amount of compound radiator.

    I thought that perhaps he may have been a defective fan (easy to replace), but before you buy a new one, I thought that I should make sure that it was not simply a glitched and reflashed with the latest BIOS. It was during this reflash that something weird happened. The fan started to turn RPM max (telling me that the fan is ok), but since then, then she came back to type and is not varying or cooling my CPU properly. I'm getting 60 c idle and much more than 85 c under load

    Anyone know what the problem might be that sending my westbound?

    Thanks in advance if anyone can help

    Hello

    > I cleaned the cooling fins and assured that everything is properly installed with the right amount of compound radiator.
    If you have also renewed the thermal grease and open to the whole of the case to clean the computer. Right?

    Well, it's always good to disassemble the laptop to do some cleanup. So you can have a perfect result and no dust is no longer in the case of radiator and laptop.

    Also the thermal grease must be renewed from time to time, but also the correct thermal grease and the amount must be used. This should be done in an authorized service because they have a layer of fat for coolers for laptop.

    In your case I communicate with the guys and explain the situation. They should check the thermal grease that you applied and the fan test it if you need replacement or if s mainboard failure. So that they can make an accurate diagnosis ;)

  • Satellite A110 stop suddenly - processor fan does not work

    Hello!

    The CPU on my brand-new A110 fan does not work. The laptop turns off suddenly, without hibernation or standby for any CPU consuming activity.

    Can it be linked to a configuration / software problem? If so, how to check?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a hardware malfunction. If the fan does not work as it should then it has nothing to do with the software.
    The A110 seems to be a very new unit and I n t think that the dust and debris are responsible of these automatically shut down.

    Why you n t take your warranty? If the warranty is valid must be checked and replaced for free

  • Satellite P100-324 - GPU overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system

    Hello world.

    While trying to solve the problem of RAM of 4 GB ([this thread | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=28374&tstart=0]), I meet another weird thing - gpu overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system.

    Now, I restored the XP MCE using the Toshiba Recovery and I was VERY surprised to see that the problem still exists! As soon as loading the system GPU fan stops, and there is only tranquility. The application load is heavy on GPU and reaching 104 results by reducing its GPU and MEMORY clock values and NOT in the activation of the fan.

    The same thing happens in 64-bit gentoo. ACPI can be turned on or off, it is not serious, the GPU fan always dies as soon as the system load. In non-OS environments (bios, program of recovery, etc.) the fan works fine, GPU cooling from time to time.

    This problem occurs in versions of BIOS: 2.40, 4.00, 4.20.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, since this laptop is my main working tool and I can't let go 14 days (service).

    I saw in your other thread that you have updated the BIOS and you have installed several different OS.

    Fact is that the BIOS v 4.2 package contains BIOS 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
    Your laptop has been preloaded with Win XP MCE 32 bit. Please use the 32-bit BIOS if the original XP MCE running on the laptop.

    Best regards
