Fan of satellite L making a humming noise

Just today my laptop fan was emitting an annoying gurgling noise when the fan is on. I got no problem with that before today.
Any ideas what is causing this and what are the solutions?

Thank you

Dan

The cooling module is hmm may be defective
Perhaps the small fan ball bearing malfunctions

If you have noticed this only while the fan is running, then this part must be checked and possibly replaced

    Hello

    This is not good news.
    3 months ago my HARD drive was cut. It was an accident simply head.
    One day before it happened, I noticed his strange coming from a cell phone inside.
    But I don't know if it of a its HARD drive.
    So the next day I tried to start the notebook but the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive.

    So I replaced a hard drive and everything was ok.
    So take care. Perhaps even you will arrive.

    I put t know if the 80 GB will work, but I remember that some A30 comes with a 40 GB HARD drive.
    THEN maybe you'll be able to use a 60 GB but I'm not sure about the 80 GB. You need to test, you know

  • Strange noise coming from the fan on Satellite P100

    My Satellite P100 just makes a noise like a seriously heavy drill. Nothing else happened significantly so I turned off immediately and left for an hour or so overheating had the broken fan.
    Now back on and everything seems fine, but I'm worried. Is there something that can explain this? I got 5 interviews next week for which I use the laptop to prepare a presentation and I do not want to fail on me at the last minute...

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hello

    that could be an object (something really little) is/was blocked in your FAN and is now gone. If this would be a problem of turnover so the fan would still some strange noises.

    I suggest you do the following: use your machine as usual and if noise appears again then ask a technician to clean the fan/ventilation system. I Don t think it s some malfunction of the equipment.

    Good bye

  • Why is my computer making so much noise when it works?

    Original title: too noisy

    Why is my computer making so much noise when it works? It looks like a fan running at high speed.

    I got says it's because my warranty on some of the software is finished or something like that. Does this sound right?

    That looks like someone trying to sound like they know what they're talking about, but in fact having no idea, but assuming you less than even that they will do - which gives the illusion that they know more.

    What is the computer make & model?

    You have picked up the machine, bought some canned / air compressed to clean electronics, has opened the computer (in the case of office) and blew the fans/bown case?  (You must blow out the vents of admission / a laptop computer in a similar way.)

    Seems to me a dirty system and/or a faulty fan.

  • Make a loud humming noise after I connected my stereo receiver in the headphones

    * loud snoring

    I am running windows 7.  I have my stereo receiver connected to my PC via the headphone jack.  When using my desktop, I get a noise loud huming as soon as I plug to the headphone jack.  When using my laptop this doesen't happen.

    Hello

    I suggest you to go through the following steps and check if it helps.

    a. check the connections between the components and make sure they are secure before moving on to the next step. Sometimes connections can cause a hum.

    b. the audio to separate the power cables; electromagnetic interference from the power cords can cause a hum stereo. Clamps to fix audio cables away power cables.

    c. plug a surge protector at the exit and all components and then plug the surge protector.

    d. connect a ground Plug and the surge protector and then plug the ground in the main market. A ground plug is available at any hardware store and turns a connection of three holes in one to two pins. Taken on the ground to eliminate 60 cycle hum.

    e. connect the wire of your turntable to the ground on the receiver wire connection. If this does not work, connect the ground wire to a screw on the outlet.

    A humming noise is probably material especially if the noise comes from the case. If the problem is related to the hard drive then I would recommend backing up data as quickly as possible. I suggest you to connect with the site of factory equipment and download a hard disk diagnostic test. I also recommend that clear the dust from the system with air canned that could cause problems with the fans, heat and material failure.

  • Noise of fan on Satellite Z830-10J

    Hello

    I just bought the Toshiba Satellite Z830 - 10J and am very surprised by the loud fan noise!

    I read on other forums that the sound could be stronger depending on the device or that an update of the BIOS might help slow down the activity of the fan when the laptop is running idle. Anyone know if there is a cure for the fan noise?

    For me, it's really impossible to work with such a current noise!

    Thank you for your help.

    At the time don t think about upgrading the BIOS.
    What you should try is first of all the settings of cooling method.

    Open the power profile that you use (probably balanced) > Advanced Power options > Toshiba Power Saver Settings > cooling method and change the two optimized battery options.

    It should reduce the activity of fan cooling.

  • Cooler on Satellite L505 making strange noise

    I have a Satellite 505 for about 6 months, and a few days ago the cooler started making strange buzzing when he works on the high rpm. He fell, got shaked, nothing.
    Is it possible to fix it (maybe clean?) without taking it to the laboratory of support?

    You have enough new notebook with valid warranty, and don t waste your time with temporary solutions and communicate with the service of Toshiba. They should solve the problem.

    Fan may be defective and must be replaced.

  • Noise of fan with Satellite U205-S5057

    I can't find any practical solution on the web.

    My Satellite is constantly the fan noise loud enough, even if little application runs.

    Someone knows a good solution for this (apart from the replacement of materials).
    This will be resolved by some BIOS settings or parameters of performance (energy-saving mode, etc.)?

    Thanks in advance

    * @ jomtones *.
    There is no Toshiba Power saver for Vista! That's why you can't change these settings!
    As you know, Vista has need of more resources and this would lead to an increase in consumption CPU/GPU and the high temperature. As a result, the cooling modules run more often.

  • Noise of the cooler fan on Satellite A110

    My laptop Satellite A110 was a cooler fan noise. Then their where the different speeds of the cooler and after 2 minutes the cooler was standing. After the reboot, the problem was absent.

    Them anywhere is a person who has the same problem? The laptop is 1 year old and I have the additional guarantee.

    What do you mean exactly by portable was a cooler fan noise?
    Do you mean the common noise that comes from the cooling module while the fan is running?

    In my opinion is nothing unusual. The speed of rotation of the fan depends on the temperature and the additional parameters in the economy of energy, for example.
    If your computer is overheating laptop doesn t (automatically closed unexpected downs) then the cooling module works correctly and you shouldn't t worry ;)

  • Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEA - irritating noise of the fan

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEA and need honestly the laptop more irritating I have ever owned.
    The problem is the cooling fan which tends to regularly turn up to maximum, sat there for a few seconds then turn down.

    Rather than simply successively increase to cool a little screaming for a second or two, then reduced speed. It can do like all the 15 seconds and is driving me crazy especially in a silent room. I am running Windows Vista and the latest version of the BIOS V4.4. I am ready to throw this thing on the door and never buy Toshiba again.

    But before I do that does anyone know a solution?

    Thank you

    I think the BIOS v4.4 requires a newer graphics NVIDIA driver.

    Install the latest graphics driver from the Toshiba site and see how it goes.

  • Tecra A7 T2500 x 1400 ATI card fan making lots of noise

    Why makes the fan noise so x 1400 ati card if the power cord is being used? Without - on battery - the fan breaks down and it seems to be like my old one - tecra a4 p760. Need a special tool to turn off the x 1400? PowerSaver is not enough.

    Hello

    The fact is that the preinstalled intelligence tool controls the CPU and the use of module cooling. In the energy saver, you can change and set the parameters for the various modes.
    I guess if your use of the energy-saving power adapter switch to full power. The properties of the mode full power are different as modes of the battery. All orders are set to max.
    I recommend to check these controls and if necessary you need to change the cooling method and the cpu on the lower level, the processing speed.

  • Noise noisy fan on Satellite L555-12V

    Two days ago, I bought L555-12V to MediaMarkt. The fan noise is terribly strong.
    The fan runs at 70-80% with a CPU load of only 2 or 3%, surfing with firefox and not other open programs.

    It looks like a hair dryer. It is so strong that you can't stand to be near the laptop for more than 10 minutes. It is therefore impossible to work with.

    I've tried everything. Uninstall unnecessary software, changed Windows power profiles, changed the Toshiba Power Saver Settings; on maximum performance, that the fan never turns market optimized battery fan is off for a minute then on incredibly strong 80% for one minute, and so on. Power switch.

    Is anyone else having these problems with the fan noise?

    Is this the same problem as A500 owners with 1.20 BIOS on their machines?

    Will there be an update of the BIOS for L555-12V as there was of the A500?
    This cured for lack them of fan noise. At the present time there is no new BIOS posted on the support page.

    If this isn't the case, I'll have to take the laptop return it for a refund. I find a shame as the laptop seems also very well. However, this machine is unusable for some time in its current state.

    > changed the Toshiba Power Saver Settings; on maximum performance, that the fan never turns market optimized battery fan is off for a minute then on incredibly strong 80% for one minute, and so on. Power switch.

    maximum performance means that the cooling modules would go to full power. This means that the fan is always running!

    optimized battery means that the cooling fans will start to run only if the temperature would reach a certain level, which is why cooling modules is triggered if the temperature would be reduced and would begin again if the temperature level would increase

    > Will there be an update of the BIOS for L555-12V as there was of the A500?
    Who knows I checked the page pilot European Toshiba and didn t find a BIOS update for L555-12V (PSLWSE) series I found a BIOS for the PSLW8E series

    However, I think you should wait a bit and must check the driver page in the next time that maybe new BIOS would be available

  • Satellite P750-11W - two disruptive noises

    Hi all
    I recently bought a Satellite P750-11W. The problem is * two noises * make this laptop.

    Without a/c, on the one hand, there is a static * whistle sound *, the other a * buzzing noise * that noise when scrolling upward or down on a Web site for example. I'm sure that's not the HARD drive. On current alternative, the only noise which persists is the buzz, but it seems smaller.

    To clarify what I recorder the two sounds:
    1. [whistle Sound | http://snd.sc/p49i2R]
    2. [hum | http://snd.sc/oQKnk9]

    Anyone with the same problem? Is this normal?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Buddy,

    > Is this normal?
    Do you think that it of normal? If this is not the case, what do you do?

    I put t think that it of normal and in my opinion it shouldn't t happen on a brand new model of laptop. Usually the only noise you'll hear on the computer is the fan and probably the HARD drive a little more but all that s.

    In this case, you can do nothing and nobody here can help you because it s just a user forum of users and this virtual path it of not possible to solve this problem. You need local assistance service authorized in your country. Just talk about what you can do with guys. Generally speaking, there s no problem because if she s in respect of repair material guaranteed valid would not cost anything for you.

    On the Web from Toshiba site, I found a list of all the FSA:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > find an authorized service provider

    Good luck! I'm sure guys can then help n t worry more ;)

  • How to control the speed of the fan on Satellite A660 - 11 M?

    Please any body know how to control the fan speed its always of 69% and making bad noise and the cpu use is 3% no to treatment high I try avancΘs power but still runing high speed

    Advanced power settings go to Toshiba power Saver saver > cooling method. There are minimum level. Change back to your power management for a second power plan, and the fan must be much quieter.

    I did it on my Satellite A660.
    Before changing PC Toshiba, health monitor showed CPU temperature 41% and the speed of the fan was 67%. After changing the method of cooling fan speed is 0%.
