Hello

Satellite Pro A120 computer laptop fan keep spinning - each time a USB device is plugged on - could be wireless, internet, flash drive, etc.

The fan just continue...

Please explain why this happens and how I could fix this problem?

Kind regards.

The fortification of CPU's up? This would explain why the fan is kicking his tent to cool the CPU.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - fan run all the time

    OK, so this is a strange...

    I have a satellite Pro A120. It works with the fan on all the time and sometimes goes on a mayor go slowly (which I think can be reduced to overheating).

    Operating system is Ubuntu and I installed the tool of sensors that tell me about the minute the temperature is 100 degrees c and the next one is 16!

    I suspect that it is perhaps that the heat sink is full of fluff, but I can't find a guide step by step to dismantle the machine, clean it and put it back together again.

    Can anyone help with ideas or resources?

    Thank you very much

    Nathan

    Hello

    You do not need to disassemble the unit to clean the fans.
    You can use a jet of compressed air which helps to remove dust.
    I did it several times and it helped!

    Try it!

  • Satellite Pro A300 - audio glitch occurs every time that fans lights

    Hello

    I bought a Pro A300 under XP for the production of music and performance, but it is an audio click/glitch occurs every time that fans lights.

    I used latency Checker and can confirm that it is the fan that is causing the Spike, and so the click.

    Is there one way (software or otherwise) to have the fans on full permanently or (as after researching more I come to the conclusion) is an audio fatal flaw in Toshiba laptops, which makes them pretty useless for the scene.

    Thank you

    Hello!

    You can change the fan and cooling options always the value on.

    If you are sure that the fan has failed or it s a hardware problem, contact the nearest ASP and ask a technician for help.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - cooling fan runs constantly

    Hello

    Bought a satellite pro A120 "Intel centrino duo" in January and for the last two weeks, the fan runs continuously. Even when the cold portable OS, it runs complete but even just word processing or done yesterday it runs very hot. I need to access the fan to have a look for dust etc but I couldn't for access!

    If anyone knows how that would be great. Either that or somebody can suggest any way to stop the laptop gets so hot. I tried on mode low power - without change, and it also works on different surfaces, but no change.

    Any help much appreciated. Thank you
    Dougie Freedman

    Hello Dougie

    In my opinion you should not do much and check anything because your laptop is new and under warranty. If something is suspicious to you, please contact your dealer local or much better is to contact directly the authorized services.

    Explain the situation and let it check your laptop.

  • Fan runs at full speed and never stops on Satellite Pro A120

    the cpu temperature is 30 ° c and the fan is always at top speed.
    I have try all the possible settings of the Bios.
    I can't update the Bios because there is only 1 version of the Satellite Pro A120 and is not possible to replace the existing one.

    Have you tested this change in method of cooling in the sleep tool? Make sure that the cooling rack is not dirty and nothing is blocking the vents.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - 169 PSAC1E: Impossible to install the 64 bit OS

    Hello

    I have the Satellite Pro A120 (169) model PSAC1E-04X024BT and I inserted 2 x DA-PA3513U-1M2G (Dane-Elec 2 GB SODIMM PC2-5300) memory, so a total of 4 GB of memory.

    I know to have 4 GB in a BONE, you need to run a 64 bit OS.
    But my processor is an Intel Centrino DUO T2050 1.6ghz (Intel Core DUO T2050).

    After reading the manual I was convinced that I am able to run a 64 bit OS... but the time of its installation, the Setup program will not continue... as my CPU is 32-bit...

    Is this true? Or do I have to change something in the BIOS? (Version 3.4)

    Thank you

    Hello!

    Yes, it true s that your processor supports only 32 bit and not 64 bit.
    Here, you check only the Intel specifications posted by redhawk.

    Sorry mate, but on this laptop, you can only use a 32 bit OS.

  • Satellite Pro A120 battery problem

    Hi all

    I have a portable Satellite Pro A120 and is a battery problem a month ago.
    The battery is not new, but recently changed, 6 months ago.
    Until a few weeks ago, it lasted about 2 hours when full load, until this time
    suddenly dropped 30-40 minutes.
    In addition, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's a few extra vibrations,
    for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
    In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

    I initially though that there was a problem with the battery or the battery contacts, but they seem ok.
    I tried to unload it in my laboratory of the company with a power resistance: resistance absorbed 1A continuously for more than 3 hours. As the specification 4400mAh battery, I would say that the battery is ok.

    Is it possible that I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
    The battery stress test above seems to show that the charging process is ok. So the problem might be with
    the provision of monitor or battery power.
    Someone at - it experience of similar problems and maybe a solution.
    Or perhaps a work around? As excluding the battery monitoring and auto turn off

    Thanks in advance
    Concerning

    > Is it possible I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
    Perhaps, but that's just a guess only a cellphone technician may provide an exactly the answer to this question.

    > Furthermore, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's some additional vibration.
    for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
    In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

    It is very strange, I want to say if the contacts of the battery and the battery would be ok, this symptom shouldn't its sounds strange for me, so maybe that's the key why battery don't not lasts more than 30-40 min

    However, I think you should try a new battery before checking the motherboard.

  • Satellite Pro A120 does not turn on - blinking green

    Hi people anyone can help?

    I have a Satellite Pro A120, which is not used for a long time,
    When I plug in and turn on I get nothing except the lights on the front of the laptop, green power telling me light the d/c plug is plugged in,
    loading light but the power of the light on the front of the battery flashes green twice, then amber once and the fan runs but nothing else at all.

    Could someone tell me wots wrong and how to fix it please?

    Hello

    Indicator of DC IN ((deuxieme left) lights green when the power adapter DC voltage.
    If the adapters output voltage is abnormal or if power outages, this indicator flashes orange.

    ((Troisième de gauche), the power led lights green when the computer is turned on. If you select the "sleep mode" indicator flashes (a second to two seconds) while the computer shuts down.

    If you notice other behaviors of indicator, then it means that something might be wrong on the motherboard. It is not possible to say what could be the problem here, but first, you should check out the bars of memory. Try to turn on the device using a single module.
    If this is not enough, then a malfunction of the motherboard would be possible.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - cannot boot from CD/DVD drive

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 of friends, he was running very slow so I said I'd do the usual for him.
    Back up all his documents, and then reinstall windows. not so easy!

    First of all, try to boot from the CD so I can boot into Ubuntu or reinstall windows.
    Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.

    From time to time I get an error saying + "Media test failure - check cable" + or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject.
    I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

    Able to boot Ubuntu from a USB key.
    Try to copy its documents on my external drive but really copying REALLY slow (like 1 MB/s) and kept getting IO errors on some files.
    I can't run diagnostic software for HARD drive that I can not boot from the CD (could get the Ultimate Boot CD on a USB but if anyone thinks it would help?).

    In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR).
    This means a failing drive?
    What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the portable CD player with a CD of work of another computer and windows recognize today this new CD player at all!

    By putting a bootable CD in this new CD player, it always starts from the HARD drive (do not recognize CD player in all).
    The BIOS is a bit unnecessary and does not show the detected disks...

    Also, boot Ubuntu from a USB key, with the original CD player, he reads real CD and DVD copied of all zeros are considered blank discs and replace the CD drive with a known working in Ubuntu means its not recognized at all (if this isn't windows driver problems).

    When I started messing around with it I remember windows say the time had been reset, so I set the time properly, then he did the same thing again I think. A flat CMOS battery could not be responsible for this?

    Is the motherboard and specifically the IDE controller or a broken ports, or am I doing something stupid? I'm tempted to just install Ubuntu by USB and tell him not to bother with CD more ;^)

    Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated!

    Thank you
    Dan Gent

    > Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.
    You see the CD/DVD drive in BIOS? I mean all the details like the name WEIRD etc.
    If this isn't the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is not recognized by the BIOS due to a hardware problem.

    If you can see the STRANGE in the BIOS but are still not able to boot from any disk, then I suppose that the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disk for different reasons.
    One of the reasons could be a defective or damage the laser lens

    > Every so often, I would get an error saying "Media test failure - check cable" or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject. I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

    Yes, this error means that your laptop tried to boot from LAN

    > In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR). This means a failing drive?

    As I said above, it would be possible that the reader s laser lens malfunctions and, therefore, the ODD can't handle the media. It seems that the laser lens can not calibrate properly and can not move in the correct position. This question is not repairable and the drive needs to be replaced.

    > What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the CD drive with a CD of work of another laptop and windows don't recognize this new CD player at all!

    The fact is that not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different master/slave/C-salt settings. You must use the supported players! In most cases, you can find a list in your user manual what CD/DVD readers are compatible.

  • On my Satellite Pro A120 possibly defective keyboard controller

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120-223 dual core and that's my problem with the keyboard.

    I get this irritating message at the start with BEEBS, where it says PXE - E61 Media Test Failure among others. Then I opened it everything and put everything back once again, the problem seems to go away at first and then comes back, this time, when everything starts up; the letter a? NA? is continually and automatically entered on the research that I click on.

    I later bought a new keyboard, and all kind of went well until the 3rd day with my new keyboard. The problem is back!

    I did research on my problem online, and realizes that the keyboard controller may be at fault here. I don't think the keyboard is defective, it is brand new and I typed hardly something with her, I also took extra precautions when connecting the cable to the system.

    If it is the controller, should what steps and procedures I take in order to define precisely the problem, or perhaps to resolve?

    I don't have a warranty on this machine, and I'm not too eager to spend huge sums on a new motherboard, but I'm ready to if it is necessary.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi mate,

    the first error message "PXE - E61 Media Test Failure" is more related startup, so another order of boot (HDD-> CDROM->-> NETWORK FDD) probably solves this problem.

    With regard to your controller keyboard problem: I think that the cable must be realigned PROPERLY since these errors come from a misaligned keyboard cable or a really damaged keyboard controller (where I am skeptical that the keyboard controller is broken).

    I know that you have taken additional precautions when connecting the keyboard, but this time took a few extra super uber mega special care when connecting it. Especially during the connection, check that the small black hook that keeps the cable is properly glued on the port.

    Would appreciate feedback on your part...

    See you soon
