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.

  • A satellite - speakers crack and make strange noises

    Hello

    I have problems with my speakers. Crack speakers and make strange noises. I have tried everything to fix this (new audio drivers install, re - install windows...) and nothing has helped. I see someone has installed a new version of the bios and this has solved the problem.

    'UN' fforunately I have already installed the actual bios system and the system does not have to reinstall the current version.

    Can someone tell me how I can re - install the software in the bios?

    Thank you very much

    Hey,.

    Such resettlement is no function you want to say to the BIOS. You can only upgrade to a newer version but not to reinstall the current version.

    I think that there is another solution for your problem, but above all that it would be interesting to know if you can see these problems with external speakers or headphones too.
    You can check this please?

  • 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?

    A better description would meet it much more easy, because no one understands each other sometimes. Remember, we are all not the same country, the range between the people here sometimes is about 10000 Miles and no one speaks English even... :)

  • Computer makes strange noises? 3

    Hello, I have a HP Pavilion, model s3842uk. n___n;

    My computer because of the weird noises when I start it, it's like a semi - quiet, but still discernible "squeaking"? I did some research into this because that my mind was going into overdrive thinking that my pc is dying (that's my baby in terms of playing games like WoW, L4D2, Sims 3, Fallout New Vegas, etc. with brio) so I'd really like to know if anyone can help me.

    Some have suggested that it is the CPU fan or another fan, and maybe it's because I'm not sure how to open my case. I really want to play with my system in case I damage anything (I'm a super awkward age 16 years). xD

    So, it is more than likely due to an accumulation of dust right? I think I had this PC for over a year so the poor thing probably got a lot of dust in there, but I'm still a bit "eh" of everything.

    So, if anyone of you, it professionals are ready to help me, I would appreciate it.

    If I do not need to open the case so I will need to ask a friend of the family who is a technician, he can do it for me because I'm desperate. xD

    Hello LishaFTW, sorry to hear your system does not work as it should.

    Some HP and Dell systems, do a 'noise' stronger during the first start for a few seconds. This noise is from fans until the mother could take control of the fan speed. It is a normal phenomenon, but only if it just last for several seconds.

    A bad business, and/or components can cause a State of overheating, even on newer systems, especially if they have been used when on the ground instead of a desktop computer.

    Here a link to the HP site that shows how to do to remove the control panel of the case. You can then clean the inside of the casing and components, paying special attention to the area of heatsink / CPU fan.

    Make sure you do not move or damage the components.

    You can use compressed canned air to blow the dust/dust of the system and the heatsink / CPU fan. Do not allow the processor or another fan to turn when you use compressed air, as this may cause damage to the fan.

    I suggest take the system from the outside of the building to clean dust/dirt, since when the compressed air is applied, there is a bit of it in the room.

    When completely cleaned, just reinstall Control Panel case and start the system and see if the problem has been resolved.

    If not, you may leave the case Panel and start the system and try and determine source noise, making sure not to touch anything inside the case. I'd look for any fan noise that seems to be another noise that all movement of the air, like a bearing bad grinding, or rubbing sound.

    I hope this helps.

  • Portege R830-10V - DVD drive makes strange noises

    Hi all
    I just bought this machine and registered the following question:

    If I put in a portable DVD starts very strong buzz. This noise disappears if I put a finger on the reader. In addition, the DVD player starts to chat if I press the keys above the player as the arrow keys. Bothers me a lot.

    I called Toshiba support and they said that they can pick up the laptop. But it is possible that this service costs because maybe this problem is part of the specification.

    You have any ideas? What can I do?
    Best regards
    Denis

    Hi Denis_3,

    Have you noticed this problem with different CD and DVD or just a medium? In General, I also noticed the same behavior, but sometimes just with one disk, so the problem is the drive itself in most cases.

    On this path through the forum it s is not easy to say what the reason is but if it s associated with CD/DVD player and the reader needs replace it will cost you nothing because it s during the warranty. Of course, for out of warranty repairs, you must make ;)

  • Computer freezes and makes strange noises during playback of videos

    Hello

    As of late my computer was irritating me.

    When I go to play videos, or sometimes when I listen to music, the computer screen everything will freeze and (sometimes) it sounds like something of a transformer movie.

    The first freeze upwards, it usually comes out of it on his own. But a freeze on second or third place, I have to force the computer to shut down.

    I noticed it only freezes up when I play games on my computer. Games on the internet [like on Facebook] can make freeze however.

    Usually he never appears with an error, so I can't provide any help out there. When this all started upwards, it was a pop up on the display driver to have to restart itself (or something of the sort). But I saw only once and have not yet see it again.

    It's my laptop Asus U50F-RBBAG05 who works in Windows 7. All of my software like Java and others are updated, to my knowledge.

    It is, possible solutions? Or explanations? Or my computer went "off the deep end" and I might have to consider getting a new? :(

    [Not quite sure that this issue falls under the topic sorry in advance.]

    Hello

    1. did you of recent changes to the computer?

    2. you're talking about music or videos online or you're talking about for videos and music stored on the hard drive?

    Step 1: first of all I suggest you to update the video card and display drivers for manufacturing sites.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Step 2: Put the computer to boot and see if the problem still occurs
    Activate the clean boot, refer to step 1 in the link below:
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 
    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.
    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
    Note: after find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software
    ATTENTION:-do not forget to put the computer to a normal startup followed step 7 in the link.

  • 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.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A350 - Microphone making strange noise

    When talking to people on Skype and MSN people say my mic makes strange noises. They can hear me vaguely on the noise. People say it's a bit like a gurgling noise.

    At first I thought that it would be a driver problem so by using Device Manager in windows I have searched online for a update for my Realtek High Definition Audio and he told me that the version is up-to-date.

    I went from Vista to Windows 7 about 5-6 months there may be that this is a problem when I reinstalled my drivers? Any advice would be appreciated!

    Characteristics of the computer:
    -Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
    -Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 2.13 GHz
    4.00 GB of RAM (2.99 usable)

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Driver update might be useful in this case, but the audio driver is not related to the internal mic. The internal MIC is part of the webcam then in this case I recommend to reinstall the driver for the webcam of the official website of Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    And don t forget to check the Windows sound settings. I would try to disable the microphone amplifier and reduce the volume of the microphone.

  • Strange noise coming out of my Satellite L40

    I noticed two times a strange noise coming out of my Satellite L40
    On one or two seconds, there was a sound that sounded like the noise that you hear when you use a dial analog modem and try to connect.

    He came out of the blue and I use a DSL wireless connection.
    The sound of my cell phone was off.

    Is that what anyone has noticed the same thing or do you not know what it could be?

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 5: strange noise from NECK or HARD drive FAN

    I have a brand new A200 - 1 M 5 has bought 10 days ago and 4 days ago one began to hear a strange noise from the fan or the cpu or perhaps hhd I don't know!

    When windows stars I continued fan power. I mean like vooom, solid with air coming out.
    Or not this sound, but each all in a 1 sec fan noise door and disappear 1 to 2 min of its different!

    I also wanted to turn on the pc, it lights!

    Help me

    c.p. my ram is 2 MB

    Hello Cezar

    You should clarify directly with your local dealer or the Toshiba service. I have too many Satellite A200 and my laptop is quiet enough and described it is not normal for me.

    Sorry, but to say with certainty if there is something strange or not I should have the laptop in front of me. Second issue with the battery is as strange and it is certainly the second reason to contact ASP.

  • 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

  • SatelliteA200 - 23 k - strange noise coming from the fan area

    I have my model A200-23 laptop Toshiba PSAE6E for 1.5 years and I recently returned from service.
    I sent there due to a nonfunctional key.

    All right, they changed the keyboard... but since I found, I have noticed some strange noises coming from the fan area...

    The sound is not so strong, but it's pretty boring.
    I cleaned using compressed air, but the sound has not disappeared.
    It is still under warranty, but I don't think they would do something against this noise.

    The laptop works very well, it is not overheating or something, but I cannot get used to the noise.
    Should Whatd I do?

    Hello

    Hard to say what noise would that be
    But if the laptop was removed by a technician of the ASP in the past, then you should get in touch with the same technicians again and have to explain your situation!
    A screw has perhaps forgotten who knows
    I think that the technician should take a new look on this laptop

    I wouldn't recommend open and disassemble the laptop yourself because you could void the warranty

  • 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
