• Satellite A300: missing letters when typing fast & noisy fan

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me.

  I've had this laptop for almost a year and slowly this is driving me crazy. I type very slowly and deliberately when you use IE.

  For some reason it doesn't pick up evey key STROKE. It is very well when using office however applications. It seems to be possibly related to the fan constantly on.

  Online games run slowly also.

  I bought an air duster can but not much came out of the box fan, so the solution suggests everyone is custody here for fan questions has not helped, the fan is still noisy and it took me ages to this type.

  Please help me!

  What plugins are you using IE? Some plugins/toolbars can drastically affect performance.

  Have you tested in FireFox or another browser? You can download FireFox here: http://www.getfirefox.com

  Have you installed Windows yourself? Or are you using the factory Windows installation?

  Maybe you are missing some drivers, for example, if you have not installed the correct graphics drivers, Windows will run in Mode VGA (software mode), which is very slow.
  Take a look in the device for driver issues Manager.

  It can also be caused by software installed. Perhaps you have two antivirus installed? Maybe you should try to back up your data and running recovery. Who would determine if it is a hardware or software problem.

  An update of the BIOS can also help. You can get the latest version of the BIOS on the Toshiba site in the support section.

• Satellite A300 - after several months, it became noisy

  Hi all!

  I have a problem with my Satellite A300. The cooling fan is not functioning effectively. The fan runs almost constantly, even if the PC in standby, when I do nothing on computer.
  I cleaned the fan holes and ventilate the air, so it is very clean. I checked the cooling modules in the Toshiba Power Saver, as well as in the ATI PowerPlay.
  All settings are OK...

  The question is, why my Toshiba works fine, when I just bought it, but after several months, it has become a noisy machine? It was very very portable and fan worked perfectly...

  Thanks a lot for your help!

  Hello!

  In your case I would use compressed air jet on the underside and on the left side of the laptop to make sure that blow you the dust from the cooling fans.

  After cleaning your laptop, you should look into the Vista power management. Here you can change the cooling method and choose another option, for example optimized battery.

  Maximum cooling performance method means that your CPU can run on the highest speed and so it needs more cooling.

  Good bye

• Noisy cooling on Satellite A300 module

  I bought myself a Satellite A300-1mc and I wondered how noisy, they should be.
  My old (first) Toshiba laptop A100-147 (xp) cooling system was so quiet.
  Could hardly hear a thing but as soon as Vista starts on Sat A300 it becomes noisy.

  Then after a few minutes the fan will get stronger going a bit then more calm then start becomes stronger. Is this normal?

  How noisy is your laptop?
  I find it strange that a laptop can be twice as noisy as any other

  Hello

  You compare the model of different laptops with different hardware specifications.
  First A300 supports a stronger CPU and I presume that the GPU also provides more performance.
  The two parties create a lot of heat dissipation and this hot air must be cooled properly.
  This means that the cooling fan must be larger and should it run more quickly to ensure good cooling.
  The other reason is that Vista needs much more resources than Win XP one so internal devices to produce more heat than using Win XP.

  These are the two reasons why the cooling fan is louder and run more quickly on an old series of notebooks with low hardware requirements and Win XP.

• Re: Satellite A300 - fan does not work after installing Win7

  Hello.

  I did a new install of Win 7 pro 64-bit, and after it does not my fan, not at the start or in Windows. To check if it the fan itself was broken I re-installed Vista instead and the fan worked again!
  Installed new Win 7 but now it's silent :( I checked in the BIOS (latest version 1.80) but I couldn't find any option here. Am I missing a driver or something?

  My Satellite canned extinguishing because of this, so I would really appreciate help :)

  Best regards / Ocke

  Hmmmm... really strange. I use Win7 32 bit on my Satellite A300-1LI and it works perfectly.
  Maybe a stupid question now, but have you tried to use the 32 bit version?

  You have also installed all the Toshiba drivers Toshiba value added package (includes the Toshiba power saver tool)?

• Satellite A300 - fan always runs at full speed after full stop

  When I stop the Satellite A300, the fan always runs at full speed.

  Hello

  What? Cooling modules run, even in this case, the cell phone is off?
  Press the power button for at least 4 seconds, then the laptop must be turned off.
  Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery
  Wait about an hour and reconnect the battery and AC adapter
  Then switch on the device after a certain time of use of turning the unit off and check if the cooling modules would stop too

• Fan replacement for Satellite A300-1 ms

  Hi guys,.

  * Do you know some reliable online stores where I can buy a fan for Satellite A300 *-model 1MS? *
  Where do you buy most of the parts for your used laptops?

  Here are two stores I found, but I have no idea if they are trustworthy or not.

  I've seen a lot of sites that say A300 but the case is silver metal and the original is black plastic.
  The plastic or metal is not a big problem I'm worry about a problem of fitting.

  Thanks for any help,
  S

  You can order each part of the Toshiba laptop computer of authorized service provider available in your country. The ASP should be able to provide this part even if the laptop belongs to an old series laptop.

• Satellite A300 - 1-3 - question on CPU Fan

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 3, recently I had problems with my laptop in which the laptop suddenly stops working, when I checked the forum, I was advised to clean the cooling system, which I did and all is now ok; recently, I noticed that CPU fan stops momentarily, then back to work, is this correct?

  If this is not the case, what should I do, should I replace the CPU fan? Or what?

  As far as I know CPU fun is running automatically and it will run when this is necessary so that the fan behavior is nothing unusual.

  If your laptop works well and, after cleaning, you didn t notice any more close I think that everything is OK.

• Satellite A300-1DB CPU Fan is boring, too strong

  Hi all

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-1DB today in a German (580 euros) and I really like the design of laptops and performance, but there is a big problem I can not bear more (and I used it only for 2 hours).

  The CPU fan on the left side of the laptop is annoyning Yes: even if I keep the laptop idle (CPU activity is very low, just under 10% and 1 GB of ram used), the CPU fan is really really strong spinning for a minute.

  After that there is silence, a great silence... for 2 minutes. And then the whole process starts over and over again. Just cold air comes out.

  It's make me crazy, that the CPU in the idle mode fan is stronger than my other Satellite A210 - 106 Turion X 2-52 L with full activity of the CPU. I wish to have a CPU fan that keeps spinning in a low sound.

  Do you have ideas about how to control the fan?
  Otherwise I try to replace it with another laptop (I hope they allow that, unfortunately, it is not an Internet shop where you can send it back up to 14 days)

  Kind regards
  Dieter

  I managed it successfully using balanced power management and using battery optimized for cooling method option. This setting you will find, under advanced power settings > Toshiba Power Saver utility.

• Satellite A300-1MS - I want a new BIOS with fan control

  New BIOS with fan control, please.
  Thank you.

  Why Toshiba should make a new BIOS just for you?
  You have a problem with the fan?

  I put t know what OS you use, but you can change the method of cooling with Toshiba Power Saver. On both my Toshiba notebook, I use this tool and I like it.

• Satellite A300 - 24 X PSAGQE: fan runs at full speed

  Hello...

  I recently bought Satellite A300 - 24 X PSAGQE T and I have little problems with fan.

  The thing is, it does not work until the temperature rises to something about 75 degrees, but then continues to run at full throttle, even if the temp. decreases.

  SIW ISC: ACPI - 45, the CPU cores around 44 HARD drive is 36 and the fan always runs at full speed. Ive tried a couple of fan speed, program management, but it did not help.

  Is there something that could help me with this prob?
  Thank you for any response.

  Hello
  Try to update the BIOS of the laptop. You should be able to download this on the Toshiba site of the country in which you bought the laptop. I hope this helps.

• Satellite A300 - fan turns on every 2 min 30 seconds

  Hello

  I wanted to know if its normal that the fan starts running on my Satellite A300-1hv every 2 min 30 seconds?
  What is happening continuously. I'm on the maximum power of vista.

  Help will be really appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Yes, it's nothing unusual, because the fan starts to turn a certain temperature level is reached.
  There is a temperature sensor, and if the temperature drops to a higher level modules cooling starts to cool internal as CPU, GPU devices.
  If the temperature drops then the fan slows down.
  It seems that there is nothing wrong and you should t be worried

• Re: Click on Satellite A300 - noisy HARD drive - strange of sound while booting

  Hi all

  I'm new and I would try to solve some problems with my new laptop * SATELLITE A300-1MZ * (with Vista) and * its hard disk * (a MHZ250BH of Fj-simens).

  I noticed that he is very mechanical in the normal conditions of use, in fact, when I turn on my computer, I hear a clear rattling and his mechanic from the HDD at different times also when there should be no disk activity.
  * Particularlly every 3-5 seconds * I hear a very strange noise as a small but very distinguible mechanic "CLAC" (is not refer to number of cycle ordefrag or indexing workload). Ditto on my ubuntu LINUX distro.
  However the phone never crashes

  _It first start Appareed and it's very noise_.
  I would ask if this is normal... It appeared regardless of the AC or battery power source.

  I just make a SMART software which is no problem, but I'm very worried about this problem.
  By phone, I just say all this to the center of Toshiba in my country, but for them all right. The laptop works ok.

  Not to mention that I found that * HDD * becomes * hot * also if there are no programs or processes that use it.
  He begins to 29a ° - 31Â ° and it gets hot with normal use (35 ° - 36Â ° after finished booting and after 30-40 min temperature is become more warm-42a ° - 46Â °, when its average temperature is ° - 48Â ° 46a - imagine if I turn for example a virus scan or a very hot video coding software-It to become: 50a ° - 55Â °.) (I try always not to overcome this final temperature). What is the maximum?

  * I hope you can give me an explanation to the problem.*
  * I ask if this is a problem common to other A300 owners.*

  For my personal reflection, that noise, it is very distinguible for a cooler quiet fan system (infact my dual core is 43a ° with normal use)
  Infact I would like to find a system to enable more cool fan (I have just seen in the bios and utilities from Toshiba but found nothing to that effect)

  Finally, I would like to know if the * battery time * 1h30mins (with the symmetric mode) is acceptable for a new laptop (with save mode is 1h40mins max).
  * I hope your support and I apologize for my language school *.

  Thanks y'alls.

  Hello

  I think that it s nothing wrong with your HARD drive.
  I have two cell phones and a PS3 at home.
  The HARD drive in a laptop made similar clicking sound. In addition, I noticed the same sound in the PS3. Since the upgrade to 500GB drive HARD makes the similar sound as the HARD drive in my notebook.
  I think that it s nothing wrong with the HARD drive and eventually it s nothing serious.

  > Finally, I would like to know if the battery of 1h30mins (with the symmetric mode) is acceptable for a new laptop (with save mode is 1h40mins max).
  Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
  The battery lasts a shorter time when to implement applications performance on the laptop. Also if the brightness of the display is set to the highest level, the battery needed to dump a lot more quickly.
  So I think 1.30 min is OK for the laptop. Of course, you can buy a stronger battery in order to use the laptop longer with battery power.

• Satellite A300-Y00 black screen but the fan from

  I bought a TOSHIBA satellite A300/Y00 in June 2008 – 16 months. Model number PSAGOA-02Y. After ten months he did not start suddenly. It sounds like the processor and the fan starts but the screen and the led underneath the screen was all black. I tried to connect it to an external monitor, but the screen was too black. I gave her to Toshiba for 2 weeks (!) who said it was the motherboard. They replaced for free that it was still under warranty.

  A few weeks ago the same thing happened again. I turned off it and for some reason at random, he started as usual a few hours later. I called Toshiba to say that, in my view, that computer will crash soon again. They said that they will be able to take it in for service, but if they could not find anything wrong with it that they would charge me $ x. I don't give him service. I even went to a local Toshiba support guy who said that he couldn't find anything wrong with my computer and that there nothing that could do.

  Now the same thing is happening again. This time I can't do it again. Of course their fantastic 3 months for the last motherboard warranty has expired. I tried to take out the battery and start it only to the power, but it does not help.

  I don't want to pay $500 for a new motherboard, and then drop it again. It is obvious that it is a hardware problem and I think that Toshiba should replace my computer free of charge.

  Anyone with similar problems? Any advice? Get pretty annoyed...

  Hello!

  Have you ever contacted again authorized service provider? If this is not the case, do please! You should talk about it again with technicians and then you will see what they can do for you.

  I can understand that it is irritated, but these things can happen and I think that the ASP will be best for you help you. To be honest, I have good experience with my ASP. The repair goes very fast and the technicians are very friendly and knowledgeable. It of always nice to talk a bit with them.

  I m not a technician, but maybe they can fix it as a gesture of good will or if you only have to pay the motherboard and not Exchange
