Equium L300 - 17Q fan continues to stop

I had so many problems with this laptop. At the present time, however, the fan keeps stopping and starting. What does that mean? I'm on it, about 12 hours a day. Good that I have turn it off for an hour or two to take a break

Any help would be great. Thank you

Hello

Maybe the fan is faulty what you think?

But before you exchange something, make sure that your laptop is clean and isn t fan of dust blocking. Therefore, you can use jet of compressed air, because this can blow the dust from the cooling fans.

What operating system you are using? Have you checked the method of cooling in Toshiba Power Saver (XP) or Windows power management (Vista and Windows 7)?

  • Equium L300 - 17Q does not not fullscreen in games

    I just bought a Toshiba Equium L300 - 17Q and I just saw that absolutely no game does run mode full screen.
    There the video card Intel, latest drivers, but nothing.

    He is already in full screen (no border).
    I open this thread simply because others have the same problem and I really want to know who is to blame.

    Do you really have the same problem on all games?

    In your case I update the version of DirectX to the latest, be sure that you have all Service Pack and hotfixes installed and update your BIOS.
    Visit the Microsoft update Web site.

    The version of the BIOS, you can check on the Toshiba site:

  • Force wireless on Equium L300 - 17Q issue

    Since late 2008, I have this Equium L300 BRAND / 17Q. Since my laptop wireless resistance lower then any other pc. I'm even so close to the wireless router, but it is still 3-4 bars.
    I'm the only person at home using modem router
    My OS is Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit, installed license. All drivers up to date.

    Also why Toshiba does not provide any what BIOS more updated for this model.
    The latest version of the bios dated 2008, another way 3 years ago.
    Is the authorized Toshiba read these forums?

    They need develop a newer bios.

    If there is no reason why offer the new BIOS? Do you really think THAT BIOS is a magic bullet for every hardware problem?

    The old model works well with Vista and Win7 perfectly. A few months ago, I installed Win7 32 bit on friends L300. No problem at all. One thing was embarrassing for me, and it's HARD drive.

    OK I've updated HARD drive with more capacity and it was pretty hot so I put aluminum foil in order to reduce the temperature on the plastic cover.

    We tested the WLAN functionality also and everything was OK. If you use the WLAN without problem I think there is no reason to panic. Have you checked all the WLAN settings on your laptop?

  • How to upgrade the Equium L300 - 17Q to make it better

    I recently got an Equium L300 17 Q.
    What improvements could do for that laptop work the best it can.

    What is the more memory (live RAM) can I put in it?

    Also, what is a good graphics card I could use because I love the game!

    Please answer as soon as possible
    Thank you!

    Hello

    You can't spend a lot of things.
    What you can do is upgrade the memory and the HARD drive. But as much HARD drive will not improve the performance of laptop computers, but only the HARD drive space.

    The RAM can be upgraded up to 2 GB.

    The GPU (graphics card) can not be upgraded, because it fixed s (welded) on the motherboard.

    Best regards

    Hello

    Have you tried to install the OS using another drive or maybe you could start Notepad using a Live CD Linux Live CD or WinPE or PartBE?

    Please check because your problem could be related to the laptop computer part faulty (maybe the HARD drive) or defective recovery disc.

    Now it s not possible to say what could cause this and, therefore, you should try starting with other disks.

  • Equium L300 - 17Q (PSLB2E) recovery

    Hi all. I'm trying to 'fix' L300 my brother-in-law. It does not start in windows, I tried the safe mode, the repair option, all what I can in the start menu. It hangs, resets or is just a black screen with the pointer. I don't know what the cause is probably a virus. In any case, I want to just factory reset this shit, but I believe that it comes with no recovery media. Thank you Toshiba, nice cost-saving measure that wells of your customers. I guess its his own lack of being too pc-illiterate to do his own recovery disk, but in any case, can someone tell me how I can get hold of a recovery dvd for this model, the cheaper the better! So far, I tried a google search and come with zippo.

    Help! Please? :)

    I think that you would save it £30, if you read first the manual preinstalled on your laptop.
    You will find an info that it s is strongly recommended to create a recovery disk using the preinstalled ;) Toshiba Recovery disc creator

  • What is the maximum memory supporting Equium L300 - 17Q?

    My laptop comes with a memory chip Samsung 1 G standard and I recently added a 2 G kingston DDR-667 to the other location. Vista recongnizes the total memory than the 3G system. My question is if this laptop supports 4G memory if I just use 2 2 G Samsung chips?

    Another weird thing is that as soon as I added this new chip, Everrest indicates that dual channel has been opened! Samsung 1 G and 2 G Kingston? How these two different chips can open the channel double?

    The usuer mannual says that the memory maximum expansionbility for this laptop is 2 G.

    Any explanation?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The user manual says:
    512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB PC2-5300 memory modules can be installed in two memory slots.
    Memory PC2-5300 work as speed of PC2-4200 GL960 Express Chipset.
    The system maximum memory size and speed depend on the model you purchased.

    2 GB of RAM supported by your model if Vista is able to perceive the 3 GB of RAM so it seems

    Mobile Intel GL960 Express chipset has memory dual channel DDR2, 533 MHz system bus, so dual channel has been opened!

    See you soon

  • Equium L300 - 17Q does not appear on my external TV via VGA

    Computer details:
    NTEL (R) 965 Express Chipset Family graphics card

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Recently, I connected my laptop to my HDTV UMC of 22 "via a VGA cable. It worked fine for about a month, until the day my TV says 'no signal' when I tried to connect to the laptop. Now, I tried the last month trying to solve this problem and have had no luck.

    I tried unistalling and reinstalling the display driver, changing the resolution, tinkered with each parameter but without success.
    My laptop recognizes that there is an attached monitor and when I press FN + F5 and scroll through the different options of the computer knows that the monitor is there, but the style of TV says 'no signal '.

    I know this isn't the TV which is faulty, I connected laptop computer Sony my father on my TV via VGA, and the TV display Sony laptop screen.

    PC World wanted me £40 just to "have a look" load which I of course said no because this can be something simple to solve.
    I could be wrong, but I hope someone has a solution for me.

    I'm not a massive wizz with computers, but I have a knowledge base.
    If you have any other questions, you need to know then I'll respond and keep checking for anyone who responded.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    For me, it would be interesting to know if you have tested this laptop output VGA on different TVs?

    PS: Have you checked the BIOS settings?
    There is a tab called display. Please change the settings and check if you can activate the display (signal) on external LCD.

  • Equium L300-146: noisy fan

    For more than a month, I bought a Toshiba Equium L300-146.

    The computer was not very hot before and the fan was quite calm, which was nice.

    However, since last week, the fan is working tremendously boring ly with so much noise (like more than 3000 rpm) and made me feel so headaches.

    When I use Speedfan to check the temperature, the temperature drops a bit, but it's really so loud.

    What should I do now?

    Hello

    I think that is nothing unusual.
    The fan must work more quickly to avoid a temperature more high which could lead to serious overheating problems.
    Please don t forget that these computers laptops support high performance CPU and GPU which produce a lot of heat. This heat must be removed inside.

    Of course noise could also be related to a hardware problem of fan, but the chances are very low.

    Greetings

  • The speakers click when the fan starts and stops Equium A100-147

    I recently bought the 100-147 satellite and noticed that a click comes from the speakers (or headphones or external speakers) when the fan starts up and even when the fan stops. Sometimes it s quite remarkable, other times not so remarkable.

    Everyone can hear that click? If it's normal, I can live with that, otherwise I will return it for repair. Any comment please?

    In addition, it seems slow at startup and shut down. Put into service takes 2 minutes and 35 seconds, and stop to 33 seconds. Is this normal bearing in mind, it is running MCE? I have loaded additional software such as Itunes, Nero, Office 2000, Photoshop 5.0 etc.

    Thank you for reading.

    Clicking noise when the fan starts or stops turning is not uncommon. On my satellite a similar sound will appear when the fans begin to turn or the HARD disk starts to spin.
    Then worry about don t, I think its OK.

    The start-up procedure can take several times when a lot of applications and software to load at the beginning. Equium A100 seems to be one of the newer laptops, and I assume that different applications Toshiba load at the beginning.
    Also an Antivirus applications could extend the startup procedure.

    You might try testing something. Disable the antivirus of loading at the beginning and check if the laptop will start faster.

    It s even with stops. All background processes that are run in the context of the operating system should be closed until the laptop shuts down completely.

  • com HP. DeviceModel.TRANS uses all my CPU and fan continues to run.  How can I stop it?  Book of Mac pro said user is _lp

    fan will not stop running - checked activity monitor - said com.hp.devicemodel.trans... use as much CPU, but I don't know what it is or how to stop

  • Is Satellite L300 identical Equium L300?

    Are the same or not?

    I'm a fan of Toshiba.

    1 year ago, I bought a Toshiba L30-105, which, in my opinion, was pretty good for my work. It was only ATI X200m, 80 GB and I have upgraded the memory to 2 GB bus 667 Mhz memory that work perfectly (Ram 667 Mhz 333 Mhz GPU).

    1 week ago I decided to buy a new laptop for answering me work practices and I decided for Toshiba Equium L300-146, which is new and not expensive (350 pounds). However, I am totally disappointed in this respect. He has a better processor L30 and more large hard drive, however, despite the fact that a module of 1 Gb 667 Mhz has been given, the computer can only work at 533 Mhz bus (tested by CPUId 1.45). I also tested the GPU clock, which is worse than ATI X200m. Before I bought this laptop, by Googling on the internet, I've seen people say x 3100 is better than Ati X200m and Memclock/GPUclock works at 400 MHz. On the L300, it's even worse than Intel GMA950 Chipset. I'm really disappointed with what I discovered. In addition, L300 has low L30 WIndows experience index.

    It's too late for me to change a new computer now. However, I wrote this hoping that TOSHIBA would have new BIOS upgrade so that the computer will completely Dram Bus 667 MHZ and better clock Mem/GPU that is indicated on the Intel Web site.

    As far as I know, it should be the same. Only difference is the name of the laptop. As far as I know name that equium is used in the United Kingdom only. In other European countries, the name is satellite.
    What about the performance? If I remember well L30 comes with WXP home and new satellite with Vista. You know for sure that Vista needs a lot more resources and have an active background of many processes.

    I will not write here on Toshiba notebooks only, but the fact is that each laptop manufacturer install a lot of things that can slow down the operating system running and have a negative influence on the performance of the laptop. What you need to do is optimization of operating system and RAM upgrade. Good strategy each notebook and PC can work like crazy.

    Please do not be disappointed. Check all installed stuff, remove things you don't need, value added package update and I am sure that the result will be much better. This model of laptop is new and I'm sure that Toshiba will offer the BIOS update in the coming weeks or months.

    Good luck!
