• Portege R700 - 11G - high and annoying fan noise

  Dear friends:

  I have a Portege R700 - 11G, I bought only two weeks ago.

  The computer works fine, except for the high and annoying fan noise.

  Even do nothing, only to start and sometimes in the bios Setup, the fan is always turn with a temperature of 40 ° or 50.

  I've updated the BIOS and I don't know what to do.

  Can someone help me please?
  Thank you very much.

  Hi mate

  Please check the settings in the Windows 7 power management!

  There you can optimize the CPU and cooling performance module this should help reduce heat dissipation and fan speed.

  In addition I recommend upgrading the Toshiba Fingerprint Software immediately to the version V1.0.2.32 or higher. In addition, turn off the power save option of fingerprint device in Device Manager.

  Device Manager->-> authentic Tec Inc AES1610-> the power management of biometric devices

  Here, you will have to remove the mark next to the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
  Disable the power saving mode will reduce the life of the battery, so you can check whether or not it helps reduce noise.

• Fan on my Equium A200 makes strange noises

  Fan cooling on my Equium A200-1AC age of 2 months is a hell of a racket suddenly, would it be the bearings on the cooling fan goes all ready?

  Does anyone else have this problem? I really don't want to have to send it away for 2 weeks if I have to get it fixed

  Sorry, but I don't really know what you want to do if the service check is not an option. As John wrote, it is not the time to play with the one laptop. The laptop is brand new and with warranty valid. Maybe is the problem, not complicated and can be repaired very quickly.

• Satellite L555-10R - annoying fan noise

  For a long time, I ve been having this problem with my laptop: when I have a Skype video call, watch TV Online, or sometimes with video files, the fan also sounds as he works hard, and the people I have video calls with also complain that they heard this annoying noise.

  But lately it has gotten worse, and sometimes the laptop stops. I guess it's a kind of defence against overheating, mechanism (?)

  How to deal with this problem?

  Hello

  If you have this problem for a long time, why you didn t contacted Toshiba service and clarify this?

• Fan on my Equium A200

  Hello

  I just bought an Equium A200-15i and wonderd if the fan should go as often it is. Just had to return my laptop previous to the store had the same problem with that one, in that the fan turns off every minute or more. Can anyone tell if this is normal because I have no idea!

  Hello

  could you please explain what you mean by "off". Where is the problem, is your machine if crush reason this or is the FAN runs constantly or what?

• Equium A200-1VO does not start and makes weird noises

  My Toshiba Equium A200-1VO don't load on Windows entirely, which means I can't use it. When you turn everything goes well until the Welcome screen in Windows Vista. From there, it starts to get weird creaking and it beeps from time to time. It won't start here and these sounds do not stop.

  Help please

  Hello

  Is it possible to know where the noise comes from?
  As suggested by above user, it could be a HARD disk, but in this case, it would mean that HARD drive failures and he could die in the next time

  You said it s begin properly until appears the window Vista would be
  So maybe it s only a problem of software but I m still don t know what part of the software would create such sound however, I think that if would not be bad to reinstall the operating system in order to check the notebook with factory settings.

  If this strange question would persist or if you would not be able to reinstall the operating system using the recovery disc then a hardware problem could cause this strange things and I think it means that you will need to contact the ASP in your country for a material test

  Hello Jay

  Satellite A200 is old model of laptop, and I can imagine that the fan cooling and air conditioning grill are full of dust.
  Before changing anything your laptop must be completely disassembled and cleaned. I did this several times in the past and I must say that my books were much quieter than before. After the cooling system will work properly and laptop will be able to take a breath.

  I put t know if you know someone who can help you with this. Please don't spend your money for new parts. At a first professional portable make cleaning.

• Noisy hard drive Equium A200-1V0

  I recently bought an Equium A200-1V0 with Vista installed.
  I got it two weeks, I have barely any software, but HDD is impregnated with a really annoying crackling sound.

  It is not only during startup, even for the simplest of programs, such as word, brands of hard drive of my laptop this incessant crackling noise.
  I thought that the laptops are supposed to be quiet.

  Is - this usual?

  > I thought laptops are supposed to be quiet.
  ;) not. You can't say that all laptops must be altogether. As you know there are a lot of series of laptops that is designed for the different areas of work.
  For example: professional laptops are quite little, and don t support the high performance devices like for example graphics card to play games, but a X 200 was desigened to the game and it is much noisier because of high performance devices.

  However, to the noisy HARD drive
  I have 2 different laptops. Drives my M40 of Sam makes strange noises, but it works very well, so in my case I would exclude a hardware problem

  But who knows, maybe you HDD starts I have malfunction would recommend shows the additional HARD drive activities and to safeguard important data.

• IPod does not work under Windows Vista on Equium A200

  I've had my Ipod for over a year now, I used it fine on my old computer that worked in XP.
  I now have my laptop Equium A200 Vista-based series.
  When I plugged my ipod to it, he appeared and asked if I would like to connect my ipod to the computer instead of the other pc, so I agreed.
  He erased all my songs, if I can put my new music.
  Once he did my laptop could not pick up my ipod anywhere.

  When I connect my ipod to the laptop makes a noise to show that it is recognized that it is connected but when I go to itunes it is not.
  I've been in the Device Manager to check it it has a symble of the ipod with a! mark next to him, so I click on put up-to-date driver, but nothing is ever found.
  My Ipod charged fine and works fine, I've been on the Web site of apple that I restored my ipod all they sugested solutions but nothing seems to work. Can anyone please help me that I miss using my ipod.

  Sorry if I posted in the wrong place first time user don't know my way around the site still.

• BIOS update solved the Portege M400 fan noise

  The new version of BIOS (1.8) for Portege M400 solves the problem of fan noise. The Readme.txt explains that the temperature will rise only in three degrees. Very important, very recommended patch for users of M400.

  Now I can use my tablet in my business meetings without having to give explanations to customers of the fan noise.

  Greetings.

  Hello Jose

  It is very nice to hear that you are happy now. I read your previous assignments and I can understand you this annoying issue with cooling fan, but now you can see this laptop manufacturer is trying to make the product better, even if the product is on the market.

  I am also certain that customer s comments can help identify the problem if persist und after this systematic search for the solution or change for the better.

• Equium A200-1V0 - just freezes very often

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Equium A200-1V0. It freezes just very often to watch movies, browse the net or just listening to music and it makes a strange noise like when winamp freezes, but the music is still playing.
  I have windows 7.

  What can I do? SRY for my English

  Hi eidrian88,

  I think that it of difficult to say something because it can be everything... I want to say that no one knows what you have installed exactly so it could be a software or a hardware problem.

  In my opinion the best way to identify the exact problem is reinstall with the Toshiba recovery disc. It will restore software factory with all the drivers and tools. If these settings are pre-tested and should work correctly.

  Otherwise it might be a hardware malfunction and an authorized service provider can verify this.

• Satellite L650 1NC - the fan noise

  I bought the laptop in February 2011 and the fan noise deteriorated over time, now. I've read many threads in this forum and elsewhere about this problem and I think that the problems are basically the same.

  Now that I've read some that messages stating that the new BIOS, released in September have apparently solved the problem, I did a BIOS update (Version 2.3) to meet the same problem again.

  The fan stops when the temperature is below a certain threshold, in my case according to CoreTemp it seems to be at about 50-55 ° C. At the moment the fan turns off, which is also confirmed by the monitor of health indicating the 0% fan speed.
  This leads to the CPU temperature increases until the fan is used to about 55-60% fanspeed.
  This process repeats every 15-20 seconds and is very annoying.

  It gets worse, but if I start to actually do something like a request to open from the web browser - nothing serious, really, I don't want to start even complain about the noise while game/watch movies.
  The fan speed will be 70-75% as soon as the CPU gets the work to be done.
  The noise that results is unacceptable for 20-30 seconds.

  Noise is an important factor for me. At the University I can't use it as my fellow students are too distracted by its noise. To work my colleagues began to complain as well.
  As I use my cell phone while being out of my own office/home it is basically useless for me now.

  Has anyone else still issues after the recent updates to the BIOS?
  Is there a way to put the fan always runs at around 30-40%?

  All opinions are appreciated.

  Hello

  Cooling module performance depend on the internal temperature.
  If the temperature arise at a higher level, the fan must turn more quickly to prevent equipment overheating it's usual behavior.

  But you can try to change some Windows 7 power management settings.
  This will reduce the performance of the CPU and the dissipation of the heat and that should slow down the activity of the fan too.

  Here is instruction how to change the Windows 7 power management.

• Equium A200-1V0 using XP - recent conversion issues.

  * Hi, *.

  * I recently inherited my laptop the girls, he had vista installed on it. I'm not a big fan so decided to install xp. I found a great guide on the forum, see below, (the topic is now locked) *.

  The original guide:

  + How to install XP Home on the following Vista laptop. 05/01/08 +.
  + PSAF5E + Toshiba Equium A200-1V0

  + Introduction
  + Here are the measures taken by us to remove our Toshiba laptop Vista and replace it with XP Home. There may be inconsistencies in our methods and we cannot have all the correct drivers installed, but everything seems to work OK for us. +
  + Our laptop now runs much faster, opens and closes more quickly and is more stable. +

  + This isn't a 5 minute operation. It should not be attempted by anyone with only a knowledge of passage of computers because it is very easy to screw things. The shop you bought your PC against them will load a lot to fix things and they will probably insist reinstall Vista! +
  + Be prepared that this would also probably negate your warranty. +

  + Luckily, I have a 2nd PC under XP, which allows me to access the web. This is very useful because it means that when your Vista machine is "broken" you can always find help and download the driver files. I also used my 2nd PC to create the XP installation updated the CD discussed later. +
  + You must have access to the web via a PC or another to get the necessary drivers. +

  + Method +.
  + First, even if you have Vista on your laptop, download and run a program of interrogation as "Belarc advisor" that lists all the drivers and software installed on your laptop. Print it out for future reference. It will be useful later when searching on the web for all drivers that may require updating. +
  + Now, make sure that you noted on all the necessary settings for your Internet connection. +
  + Also, back up the files that you may have placed on the hard drive you will lose the lot, including emails and the address books and web bookmarks etc. +

  + Unfortunately, the Toshiba disk that comes with this laptop does not appear to have all the required drivers with it. Instead, I think it relies on Vista keeping copy on your hard drive. It's not very bright that when the disk fails, you have lost everything! +
  + This means to go on the web and the search of all the required drivers run the XP successfully. +
  + Some we have found, for example the wireless network adapter, however this was not a problem because once we had installed XP and connected to the Internet through an Ethernet cable to our router, we were able to run 'Update Driver' for each missing item. +
  + Go to "Device Manager" via "Control Panel" then "System" and then "hardware". Then look for any yellow question mark for all the problems. Right-click and run 'Update Driver' for the Hardware Update Wizard and allow the PC to search the web "this time only. +
  + The ones we made in this way were: wireless adapter, Audio adapter. +

  + Unfortunately an original CD of XP SP2 does not contain the required drivers for this laptop. Therefore, when you start the CD it will be, after a few minutes of installation of files, say you have a hardware problem, there is no hard drive. +
  + To remedy this, you will need to download the right drivers Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI Controller. I could not find on the website of Intel, but on the contrary searched on Google for him. and he got to: http://www.alphadownloads.com/downloads/download-hp-intel-sata-ahci-controller-driver-ver--d-3064.html+

  + Now you are ready to start the cleaning process, if you are brave enough to continue... +.

  + First, re-boot your laptop and the all start-up press F12 to change the boot order so that the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is first. You can also use F2 and then change the Boot order from there. +

  * After completing the installation, I found that I had no work wlan driver on my laptop. They are here (RTL8187B_WLAN_Adaptor), but with a big yellow question mark. I tried reinstalling them but it made no difference. I don't know why they don't will be will not installed properly.*

  * All went well and seem to work and all the familiar screens were there. I started using it and wanted to transfer some info from the laptop to my office. I copied the files on a disc using Ashampoo Burning Studio 7 and it seems to work, he went through the whole process without a hitch. When he had finished I checked the drive and it was empty he had no files on it at all. I tried several types/brands but the results (or lack of) is the same. The drive reads the discs will not drive write. Any ideas? *

  Thanks for reading this and I would appreciate any help/advice you may have.

  See you soon,.

  Mike

  Hello

  This means that everything is working properly without WLAN connection and burning the discs?

  Well, are you sure that your laptop is equipped with RTL8187B WLAN card? Therefore, you can check the vendor and device ID in Device Manager.
  But for all the portable Toshiba, you can download the driver WLAN here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  In addition, it would be interesting to know which drive you exactly used for the engraving process. I only use high-quality Verbatim and TDK media. I don t use Ashampoo or Nero, I use CD Burner XP because it the freeware tool and I can do anything I want with this program.

• Equium A200-1v0 overheating

  Hello

  I Equium A200-1v0 and well it keeps overheating and just close his auto.
  No idea why it is not used or on any weird surface.

  More I have problems where I can have only one internet window explore open at the same time, the other goes down and some websites make it crash (like paypal for example).

  Some games are planted. Command and Conquer Generals to one and sometimes Theme Hospital too.

  Yes, a lot goes wrong. No idea why.

  Thanks for any info :)

  Hi Andrew

  In my opinion, these questions are related to the same reason.
  I think that the high internal temperature causes problems with overheating and leads to the breakdown of the system.

  You should know that all internal devices such as the CPU or GPU produce a lot of heat during playback of kid. This heat must be cooled.
  But if cooling modules don't work properly and can not cool devices with better performance then the laptop automatically stops to prevent the equipment from damage.

  In most cases, the main reason for these overheating problems could be dust and debris inside the laptop.

  You can try to clean the fans using the professional cleaning. I use the jet of compressed air that can be bought in most computer stores on online shops.
  This tool is useful for removing dust and debris among the cooling modules in-house.

  Best regards
