Fan on the Satellite A100-225

Two years ago in may, I bought the Satellite A100-225. I have always noticed that it got very warm, but a few months ago it was not a problem. However, a few months ago, it began to overheat during execution of the tasks of joel, but I never thought much about it.

Then, one a few weeks ago I started my computer to realize that the fan was now only turns not at all, and I have no idea why. I tried to install a new update of the BIOS and check if there is any debris stuck. You can still use it, but only for short periods. However, today when I was about to stop because it was too hot, the fan went on for 3 seconds, then it turns of. He the did not once again even if I leave it at the same temperature.

I have to buy a new fan? My father and I have been looking for one that adapts, but so far we have succumbed.

Can someone offer me some advice please?

> Should I buy a new fan? My father and I have been looking for one that adapts, but so far we have succumbed

I think you should first clean the front fan start you away from stocks
Dust and debris inside the laptop could prevent fans turn with maximum performance and this could lead to a higher temperature.

A use of the spray of compressed air could get rid of the dust and could help with this problem
But if it doesn t help you should contact the ASP in your country for assistance.
Guys could check the laptop and could eventually replace the fans.

The big problem is that the laptop disassembly procedure is very delicate and risky.
So these replacements should be made only by a technician for laptop.

Bye and greetings

  • Noice from the fan on the Satellite A100-994

    Hello
    I recently bought an A100-994, which has a Core 2 Duo T7200 (2.GHz) processor. I noticed that the fan is always on at low speed at least that I put it out at very low outdoor temperatures when it stops. But normally inside it is still running.

    I compared with other new A100 models with lower processor (specifically with a Core Duo 1.66 GHz) and is not the case, and those who are quieter than mine. I asked the tech support and they told me that in some models of the family A100 fan runs continuously and a reason to do in mine should be that my processor is more powerful and so hot more easily.

    I would like to know if anyone else has noticed this kind of behavior in A100 laptop computers and if there is a way to control the speed of the fan so that it does not work in idle mode. Already tried speedfan and other programs, but they don't control fand speeds, only to read temperatures.

    Thank you

    Hi guys

    I put t see any problems. It of a normal behavior that the fan runs at a lower speed.
    If the temperature increases, the fan will run a lot faster.

    Check if the energy saver has been installed on the laptop you. There, you can control the speed of the CPU and cooling mode in the basic menu.

    @marbo3d: C 75 is not too high. You can check the CPU specs on the Intel site

  • How to clean the fan on the Satellite A100-153

    Hello

    First of all, my warranty on this laptop is expires.
    My laptop runs hot and that's why I want to clean my fan module.
    Where can I find documentation, how do I open up my laptop?

    I despaired of m, because I don t find anything in the WWW.

    I hope that there is someone who can help me.

    Thank you

    Ciao, Salvatore

    Personally, I would not recommend disassemble the laptop to clean the internal cooling fans.
    Such procedure is really complicated and I think that it s too risky for someone without any computer laptop disassembly experience.

    But not don t worry. You can clean the cooling modules without opening Notepad.
    I clean my fans for laptop with a jet of compressed air.

    These dust cleaners are very useful and you can very easily remove dust using these tools.

    Just google for vacuum dust or compressed air and you should find enough examples and offers online.

    Cheers mate

  • Satellite A100-225 keeps freezing and crashing with the new HARD drive

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A100-225 with a 100 GB SATA Hitachi drive I int it that recently started showing bad sectors. Then I bought a Hitachi 320 GB SATA II drive to replace it. I tried the drive and it was recognized right away, so I didn't need to change the SATA speed. I ran the restore a disk installed newest. The problem I have is that the computer keeps freezing and crashing with the new drive. It takes a lot of time to load up when turned on and there is a noticeable to untermittant delay when you drag the cards around solo.

    I tried to run the Hitachi drive test and it comes back fine. I also tried to turn the SATA speed of the drive down from 300 to 150 via the firmware, and although I saw a slight improvement, it is still not right.

    I talked to Hitachi and they say that he could not be 100% compatible, so the problems. Someone at - it else sucessfully set up a replacement for this notebook drive and if so what make and model. Has anyone else had simular problems?

    Thank you

    Years ago, I've updated yet more former Satellite M70 with SATA HDD (270 GB if I m remembering well) and everything was fine.
    In my view upgrade with SATA HDD normal shouldn't be a problem. Do not SATA II because it will not work faster.

    I can't say for sure, but there must be a compatibility problem.

    Let's see if someone else had better luck with the upgrade of the disk on the Satellite A100.

    Have you checked this forum with advanced search option? Maybe you can find some old NET on upgrade the HDD on A100.

  • Is there a Bluetooth for Satellite A100-225?

    Hello

    I wonder if a bluetooth module exists for a Satellite A100-225 (PSAA9E series). What model?

    Thank you

    No, unfortunately, this laptop does not support the internal Bluetooth module and it cannot be upgraded with this module.
    If you want to use BT technology, you will need to switch to the external solution.
    Just buy a USB Bluetooth stick. These sticks are simply to use. Just plug in the USB port and configure it.

  • Satellite A100-225 - charging battery problem

    Hi people,

    My Satellite A100-225 can't hold the charge when running. If I use processor heavy applications, the battery will drain in about half an hour and recharge only when the cover is closed (standby mode) or the laptop is turned off.

    When the exhausted battery and the laptop turns off, I have to remove the battery, press the on/off switch, replace the battery, then let it charge for a while before I can use it again.

    The laptop will power any if I remove the battery and the runoff of current alternative.

    I tried a spare battery, but exactly the same thing happens.
    I also updated the Bios with the latest version (6).
    Laptop runs Windows XP Home Edition.
    Laptop is out of warranty.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    See you soon
    Steve

    Looks like a hardware problem. I mean, if your battery runs out when the machine is connected to the pit of the wall adapter (this is what I did not understand), so something in the subsystem of your laptop power goes down.

    Have you ever sent the machine to a partner of service authorized or is the machine still under warranty?

    Welcome them

  • Need motherboard for Satellite A100-225

    She is my lappy model number PSAA9E-03U0IEEN and serial 46083748Q.

    > Please any1 know where I can buy a new motherboard with at a reasonable price?

    The motherboard is one of the expensive parts for laptop and a new motherboard would cost a small fortune! It's so maybe a second hand Council would be a better option
    Why you n t search in Ebay for a 100 of second hand or second hand Board?

    However, if you want to buy a new motherboard, I recommend you with ASP (certified partner) in your country. These guys could order the new motherboard at the Toshiba.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A100-225: battery power light flash orange

    Last night, plugged my AGES of NINE DAYS by Satellite A100-225, the lights were on, it was working fine.

    This morning, woke up, lights were turned off, tried to turn it on, the battery power button flashed light Orange.

    Tried to play with the cable by plugging it into other outlets that I knew worked, nothing helps.

    Have tried to start without the battery in it, without success.

    Unless there is a function that can prevent from starting somewhere, I don't know what to say. This computer is nine days old, and I do not understand how something can just wrong all night.

    Adding info if necessary - computer was on when I went to sleep, and was running Mozilla Firefox and WinAMP.

    Hello

    Perhaps the unit automatically goes in standby mode or hibernation?
    On this device, the automatic system standby/hibernation has been reinstalled. This function automatically stops the system when there is no input or material of access for a specified time. You can specify the time and select System standby or hibernation in the base of the Toshiba power saver settings tab.

    In addition, if the battery LED is flashing it means that the battery charge is low. The adapter must be connected to the battery.
    If it of not possible to charge the battery, so there are several possibilities: the battery could be dead, the AC adapter doesn't work or there is something wrong with the hardware of the laptop.

    Try disconnecting the battery several times and then connect.

    But according to your ad you tried a procedure and it doesn t work. So I think you should ask the ASP in your country to help.

  • Blue screen with DVB - T USB TV tuner comes with the Satellite A100-165

    Hi all

    I have the Satellite A100-165 with PX1211E - 1TVD USB DVB - T TV tuner (TV savvy). I think the installation is OK because I can watch TV on my PC!

    But occasionally PC reboot with blue screen! :-((Je pense qu'il lorsque le niveau dele de signal TV est inférieur)
    I update the driver warned with the version I found on the Web from Toshiba site: savvytv-udvbtt - 10180629.zip
    But it's always the same!
    You have an idea about this problem?
    I can agree to have a bad display when the signal quality is lower, but it is very annoying to often have a blue screen and PC reboot!

    Thank you in advance on your help
    Best regards

    Hello

    I think that this can be corrected with the latest display driver. Please visit the Toshiba download page and install it.

    If the problem is fixed, please write again.

  • Impossible to get PRTSCR DEL + keys to work on the Satellite A100

    I have the Satellite A100 - 232 PSAA2E. Bought in Greece... If some of the keys have a second role - for Greek letters. Especially not a problem.

    However... I can't get led (top-right) to work and same (3buttons on the left led) the print. Is there a setting to change or is there another way to remove and print screen?

    Your ad is somewhat confusing. Satellite A100 is pretty old laptop so I do not understand how you have this problem now.

    Everything was ok in the past?

    As far as I know you can change the keyboard input language, but this has nothing to do with DEL or PRINT key features.

  • Need help with the installation of the drivers on the Satellite A100 - 215 PSAA9E

    Hey all

    I just reinstalled XP home on the satellite A100-215 (PSAA9E-02F00VPT) and I meet some real difficulties get the LAN, VGA and wireless drivers installed.
    Everything else works, but for some reason, these drivers are not what they are supposed to and I find myself in a bit of a tile?

    Someone at - he heard of these drivers being wrong before, if yes is there a solution out there?

    Really need help now as have been on it for a good few hours now and no not get anywhere fast?

    Thanks in advance

    Matt

    Can you give an exact describtion of the problem with drivers?
    So first of all, you can try to download the drivers again from the download page of Toshiba here:

    And make sure that all windows updates are installed. SP2 is important to be installed for some devices.

  • What Watts value using the Satellite A100-771?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-771. Does anyone know how many watts the TI needs?
    In my car, I have a 200 Watt 12 volt DC to inverter, but his does not.
    Is it possible that the laptop needs more than 200 watts?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    As far as I know the satellite A100-771 uses an AC adapter reference number: E/PA2521U-2ACA 15V 6a 90W.
    In addition, you can use these adapters:
    AC adapter PA2521U-3ACA (2pin 90W/15V) and PA2521E-2AC3 (90W/15V 3-pin)

    I put t found any information on the car adapter, but I think you might be able to buy from any distributor of mobile or you can order from the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country.
    I think that guys will order the part directly from the warehouse of Toshiba.
