Acer Aspire 481TG-M5. How can I clean the fan?

Hi all

Until recently my laptop was automatically shut down and the fan makes a noise excessive even when I'm not under what whatsoever. My guess is that dust in the fan should be cleaned, but I'm not sure how to clean since it is a monohull. Any ideas? I tried the google search, but the only thing that comes up is how to clean a Macbook.

I have attached the links for instructions, video is for M5-581TG, but both look like. HTH.

  • Satellite P100 - 400 PSPA6A: How can I control the fan speed manually

    Good evening

    I would like to know how can I manually control the speed of the fan?
    I ask this question because my laptop rarely use the fan at a higher speed.

    Today, I listened to more than the normal fan, I have check the temperatures and the CPU was Core1:95ºC Core2:99ºC
    I'll clean the fan, but I want to know how can I manually control the fan (of course with the software: P)

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    I guess that the Toshiba Power Saver has been installed on your laptop and you use this software from Toshiba.

    If you are using Win XP and that the GST is installed, then you can check the configuration of basic settings and you might find the options to control CPU, CPU processing speed and method of cooling.

    If you are using Vista, then you should check the Vista Power Options:
    Check this thread how to manage Windows Vista power management features
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=38906&TSTART=0

    But in most cases, the cooling modules are controlled by fan that is stored in the BIOS table.

  • How can I clean the keyboard on Satellite A210-127?

    After a week of use for non computer keys on my keyboard "cvbn_" became sticky (but still working)? What I need to replace the keyboard, or I can clean it by myself? Please tell me * how can I under key *? Do I have to remove all the computer or the buttons are removable?

    Due to the non - using sticky keys. Very strange! I was three weeks on holiday and none of the keys on the keyboard are sticky.
    Anyway, unique key can be disassembled and if they are sticky because of the separation of coke inside or something similar I don't think you can clean it properly.
    Want you can do is to remove the plastic cover and watch what happens with the little mechanism under the lid. Place again put it in the right of the cover place and push down, but gently. You will hear a click and the cover should be in place again. You can remove this cover for each unique key.

  • How can I clean the Bitmap Images imported

    Hi, I am using Flash 5. I have imported a .png image sequence and they look pretty rough and bitmap so I wanted to clean them.

    1. what I have to select each frame after import and adjust the settings of the bitmap for each image or I can doo this somewhere so it affects al images?

    2. I can't find the settings to clean up the bitmaps. I thought they would be in the Panel "Properties"?

    3. is it possible to set the pixelation or clean a .swf imported or is it better to clean the sequence before you save it as a .swf?

    Ideally, you should have images cleaned / correctly size / optimised before import you them into Flash.  Once they are in Flash, one thing that you can do that can help how the image appears, especially if manipulate you its size in Flash, is to set the image to allow smoothing.  This can be set using code or can be applied manually to the image in the library do a right-click, selecting Properties and by checking the option to allow smoothing.

  • How can I clean the bookmarks dropdown?

    Over time, I gained a lot of undergrowth and shit in the bookmarks dropdown. I've deleted most. But there are still two problems.

    (1) < < search | Firefox Help > > lines and there are a lot of them (I don't know why) will not disappear when I right click and click on delete.

    2) there are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of blank lines. They are useless and clutter my HTML backup.

    How can I get rid of these two irritants?

    Thank you.

    Budd

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • How can I clean the app Gallery?

    I recently connected the phone to my computer in the data transfer mode (see the SD card as a windows device). Here, I cleaned the .dcim file: moved and deleted hundreds of photos.

    But the Gallery still show them all as being on the phone. They appear in the comprehensive view with the version of the 'icon '. But the real pictures are of course not.

    I can't get rid of icons or different index tags. For deleted photos option delete is simply not there.

    Delete is only one possibility for images that are still on the device.

    Hi andershl,

    Please go to settings--> applications--> applications--> all--> storage media

    Here, press clear the cache and delete data.

    This will remove the storage media library, but not the actual files. Restart the phone and give him five minutes to rebuild the media library.

    If it worked then your phone should display your photos properly again.

    See you soon,.

    Aspire ZC - 606, that will not start. It emits a sound once and asking you "Reboot and select proper boot device" or insert the bootable media...

  • How can I clean the sides of my mouse rubber?

    I have the MS Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0.  I have about 2 years.  The rubberized sides became tights/pantyhose.  What can I use to clean?  The mouse works fine; It's the texture of the handles that is gross.

    Kirstin McDonald,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    On hard plastic parts, you can use any kind of cleaner household soft on a soft cloth, never spray anything directly on any electronics.  You can get special cleaners to computer / electronic stores, but they are fundamentally very different from your common all-purpose cleaner.  Never use something hard that break down the plastic.  The soft rubber surfaces, to be more prudent to use something very gentle like a gentle liquid hand SOAP, just a tiny DAB on a cloth of web.  Or try these pre-humidifiees hand wipes.  If there is enough soft to wipe their hands with, then it should be safe for the mouse.  If the rubber started falling and sticking, do not try to clean it up, it's time to get a new mouse.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I clean the remains of unwanted downloaded software files?

    as the remains of pieces of files

    Hello!


    You posted in the wrong forum, I'm afraid, because you don't really have a problem with the malware (unless this unwanted software is malware).
    If this is not malware, you can not be helped here.
    However, I would recommend looking up the software name in 'computer '. If you see "Softwarename'log or something like that, you can delete it as long as you are sure that it is nothing important to do with existing programs or your operating system."
