Behavior of cooling after only the BIOS Flash - Satellite Pro A300

Hello everyone,

I have two laptop computers, Satellite Pro A300 Satellite A300. Both have the same configuration, C2D E8300 2 GB, ATI 3650 512 MB and so on...

Today I flashed BIOS to the latest version (from V3.90 to V4.20) on both of them. Version 3.90 cooling was OK, fan worked only when it was necessary. But now after that flashing the BIOS fan runs constantly, he does not stop.

What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

My question is, what is the problem with cooling in the new version (v4.20)? And how to fix this?
Yet once again, the problem did not exist before flashing the BIOS and the problem is on both computers.

Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards
Osman

I doubt that there could be something wrong, I want to say that you said that after changing the method in cooling Toshiba Power Saver, the fans don't run all the time
Usually the cooling modules are controlled by energy savings and the BIOS contains only the table fan.

Keyboard of my laptop or on the left side of the laptop becomes too hot because on this side, you find the cooling modules that blow hot air

Nothing so unusual...

  • Problems after updating the BIOS on Satellite Pro P200

    I recently buy a Satellite Pro P200 running Windows Vista Business. Yesterday, I updated the BIOS to the version 1.50 supplied with the machine to 1.80 available on the Toshiba site. I double checked that I was using BIOS correct update for the Pro P200 Satellitel running Vista.

    After updating the BIOS, I have now two problems:

    1. whenever I start and join the office, I get an error message "record of Vista has stopped working". This problem has been identified as toshibavistaregistration.exe here: [link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=99805]

    2 Control Panel > system now shows the processor and the memory (RAM) as "not available". Execution of the diagnostic PC Toshoba tool and looking at basic information show also no information on the memory (RAM) Although the processor information here. There may be pieces others missing too under the eyes of list shorter than before the update of the BIOS.

    Basically, I want to get everything working again as it should, but cannot find any information on these issues.

    After further review, it appears that the update of the BIOS is not the cause of the problems.

    Immediately after updating the BIOS, I had a major system crash. It turns out that this is what has caused problems.

    After a system restore to a point before the update of the BIOS and the major system crash, now everything is working again with BIOS version 1.8 in place.

  • The update of the BIOS on Satellite Pro U400?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 (PSU41E) running Windows 7 x 64 and I try to update the BIOS to version 4.70 to 4.00.

    Whenever I try to do it from Windows using WinPhlash which comes with the download on the Toshiba site it seems to freeze when you try to Flash the new BIOS.
    I connected as the local administrator, tried to use other programs flash and even tried to do from a USB flash drive with no luck.

    Can someone please help me and explain how do I update the BIOS?

    Hello

    > tried to use other flash programs
    Never use other flash programs! In the worst case, you could damage the ROM module and then it must be replaced. Use only the program flash Toshiba that is tested and designed for laptop and the version of the BIOS.

    The update of the BIOS program is also designed for Windows, it s a Windows Update program.

    Satellite Pro U400 wasn t comes with Windows 7 so I guess you did your own installation. Value added package is required for the update of the BIOS program and can be downloaded on the European driver of Toshiba download page where is your laptop model:

  • Cooling fan does not work on Satellite Pro A300

    Hello world

    I was asked by a friend to repair their Satellite Pro A300, because their CPU cooling fan had stopped working even during the start of the POST and the laptop could overheat and shutdown. So I thought it might one of three things:
    # Fan is obstructed by dust or dirt
    # Rolling fan failed
    # Fan power cable was loose

    So I disassembled the laptop and cleaned the fan/radiator with compressed air and check the connection of the supply, which was solid, but this does not solve the problem, so I replaced the fan and the heatsink with another that I knew worked from the same model laptop that had a motherboard fault due to the bug of password to start random bios (out of warranty) but still no joy.

    I'm starting to believe that the fan was perfectly fine rather motherboards temperature of the processor or the sensors that control the activation of the fan has failed.
    Am I correct in thinking that it is essentially, irreparable without specialized tools and my friend will be content themselves to turn the system off each hourish or is there something else I forget?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    I m not a technician, but for me, looks like the fan connector is working properly if you already replaced the fan and therefore, it would be necessary to replace the motherboard

    That s all I can say about it having a look for second mainboard or laptop where you can get a motherboard cheap. Maybe it works. :)

  • USB no longer works after that the BIOS flash to ABCN74WW on the new Z70-80

    Hello

    I started with the installation of Windows 7 on my brand new Z70-80 which worked well, worked USB 2.0 ports.

    After flash BIOS to ABCN74WW USB ports do not work any longer. I already tried soft reset BIOS by unplugging the power supply and the battery by pressing the power button for 20 seconds. USB ports are still inaccessible after that, a USB flashes for a moment, mouse LED is lit but no laser and no operation at all. Even when I start any new installation of windows.

    Is it of any known issues with this version of BIOS? Can I cancel the flash BIOS?

    Kind regards

    I do not remember on an option to backup the bios and certainly did not do. In any case, the upgrade from windows to 8.1 solved my problem...

    > Did you know BIOS is fixed on the motherboard?
    Not the BIOS is fixed on the motherboard, but the ROM module is fixed on the Board!

    Please don t try to correct yourself because you can really damage the jury!
    And as you've probably experienced the motherboard is one on the most expensive laptop parts.

  • Serial number rubbed off after only 4 days on Satellite Pro L

    I would like to express my shock that important information on the back of my laptop almost completely rubbed off after only four days of use, Inc. serial number, model number, voltage/ampage, etc.. I bought a toshiba laptop on the premise that their laptops were reliable compared to the rest. It bodes not well when something as simple as a series rubs number turned off after such a short time.

    At a point, this information is important for situations of warranty/returns? I hope not. However, even if not, is there anywhere else on the laptop where this information is displayed?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    First of all the series (series of windows key) which is placed at the bottom of the unit is an OEM key. You cannot use it in relation to other OS.
    The OS from Toshiba is already enabled and therefore the serial key is not necessary for you.

    The serial number of the laptop is also placed at the bottom of the unit.
    And as suggested by Feliks portable low s side doesn't touch the table at all. So it cannot be rubbed. What can happen if you carry the laptop in the laptop bag or where the bottom of portable computers would be rubbing against the surface of the bag.
    Perhaps you could ensure the label using a tape or similar

  • How to access the BIOS on Satellite Pro 4600 settings?

    Guys,

    I received a Satellite Pro 4600, unfortunately this laptop has 2 and a half proceeding on this issue. The first is MS2000, then XP then an incomplete installation of XP. When I start the laptop, it asks which OS I want to use. I have a legal copy of XP that I bought and I want to reformat the computer laptop and put on a new install of XP, the problem is how to enter the BIOS to change the settings to boot to a CD?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    First of all you n t need to access the BIOS to boot from the CD.
    You can simply press the F12 key immediately after the laptop has been powered.
    It would show the available boot options.

    Alternatively, you can press the C button that would automatically allow the CD/DVD drive as the boot source.
