Fan or cooling system on my Portege

My fan is not working on my portege 100. The computer is very hot! What can I do?

HI Marion,.

Make sure your system is set to a maximum oerformance in Toshiba power management settings. This should ensure the maximum fan.

If this is correct and the fan still does not work, check that the fan itself is free in rotation (try to spin the fan blowing into the air inlet grid.

Of course, it is possible that the fan did not in this case, you have to return your laptop to a Service Agent allowed that he must be replaced.

  • Portege R630 - how to clean cooling system?

    I've had my Portege R630 for a few months now and I love it. HOWEVER! Small snag. I live is a House with 3 other people and it gets pretty dusty. Not really bad, but I'm not going to lie it's almost clinical environment. Now, my R630 started having what I think is 'too hot' for processing power used.

    Currently, my CPU usage is between 10 and 20% according to time and PC Health Monitor, my system CPU are 60% and my fan runs at 50-60%. My system has the Core i3 2.53gHz processor, unusually warm for the system?

    And if my guess is so dust is linked. But how to clean the radiator on it? It's not really normal. I can get my hands on a can of compressed air, but because the fan is so far away from the CPU, the dust could be everywhere on this side of the laptop. What is the best way to get clean?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    Cleaning of the cooling system is not complicated. All you need is to jet of compressed air that you can buy from every computer store I think.

    Before to start the cleaning procedure remove the AC/DC adapter and battery. Turn the laptop around, then blow air gently and shortly into the holes in the case. This will blow out the dust.
    As you can see is very easy and it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  • Recommended installation for the stability of the regions hot & warm even under Safari until Mac, cooling system is innovated. For a more Durable Mac

    Hello. It is best to combine a stable software (10.11.6 is stable to this day) and a cool hardware, even with Safari (with many tabs). A stable software is not enough, a cooled optimal equipment is also essential; It creates a stable holistic system.

    Until Apple, miniaturize perhaps, a sort of refrigeration in the circuits themselves (coolant will be not compact) due to the warming of the planet (some countries reaching a strong history of 46 to 65 degrees Celsius), cooling fan is not viable because it is so hot that he uses room air, regardless of how fast the fans spin (which would be just like a set of dry hair to the maximum) is not enough. An already hot air will get even hotter once Macs is used for long hours that could damage the GPU in particular, or perhaps even deform boards disconnect some circuits even or deform inside fleas which includes also circuits in them. Heat can also soften the welds in the Mac.

    It is recommended to run fans manually with a fan control application, even if the Mac is new (over the past six years the iMac I have had 2 replacements of GPU - this is most probably because of the heat and lack of ventilation in the Macs.) Apple may have more emphasis on function and either looks-it can't be 50-50. Replacement could cost if not for Apple Care which is good to have), if you are in an area that is warm or hot, at least 2000 rpm which seems to be a good balance between cooling and too much noise (it keeps the GPU minus 70 Celsius, especially). At 2000 rpm, the wear on the fans is not the only striking, it's usually only 47% of the maximum rpm of Apple fans (good fans are usually evaluated during maximum 5 years running 24/7 all year). But the best is to turn off all the gadgets to make noise to make the quiet place and adjust the fans (with a minimum of 2000 RPM) as quickly as possible without being noisy for the user. It is better to add extra cooling in the back (like a small electric fan or fans of cooling for laptops) for maximum stability if you're not in a cold air-conditioned room.

    It is good to reset PRAM then MSC after the fans and password recovery to use disk utility (two types of repair) manually before booting into your main operating system.

    God bless you. Revelation 21:4

    Directly from the plug of the iMac:

    Operating temperature: 50 ° to 95 ° F (10 ° to 35 ° C)

    If you try to work beyond these limits, good luck!

    There's this thing called 'air conditioners' cool the environment.

  • Satellite L50D-B-15Z problem with cooling system

    Hi, I have a laptop about a year ago. And for 5 months, I have a problem with the fans. Out and the following message is displayed:

    WARNING: A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the power immediately and return it for service.

    The strange thing is that the first time that is spent stopped working a week, then a month and finally stopped working until 3 months there now will not start.
    I have even the implied warranty of the product, but I didn't think to send because it takes virtually every week for classes. I can use it, but if I perform actions that require superior performance as playing the games or download several videos at the same time to start warming up, getting the message and if continuous closed finally down.
    What should I do and how can I solve the problem?

    Sorry if I do not quite understand. I do not speak English.

    There may be dust stuck in the heat sink.

  • How to kill the cooling system warning that slows down the CPU?

    Laptop: Satellite S2450-101

    Please help me ;-)

    I had problems with a fan on the motherboard connector. I'm a "craft" bridge to make it work. Now, I was able to control temperatures: I do the works of CPU to 100% and the temperatures indicated by 'SpeedFan' remains to the "Local Temp = Temp 36 ° C / 44 ° C and 43 ° C = Temp1 = remote." The exhaust gas remains 'soft' and never hot as bafore (60 ° C and more). Now, I think it's actually safe... BUT... I still have a lot of unpredictable warning that slow (and it's deep...) of the processor.

    It is said (translation from the french): _ "WARNING: an error was detected on the cooling system." Shut down your computer immediately and consult our provider "_".

    To be honest, I don't know if this is really the connector error... maybe other hardware (probe...) or a software problem. * I just can't use my computer with this warning... Please, help me to kill this process or perhaps only to stop the "crunch" of the processor *. I do research in the registry, but without success.

    Thank you.

    Best regards.

    If I understand you correctly, you manipulated mainboard and now you also want to manipulate this warning.
    As I know the owners of laptops have no influence on this warning and you can not disable it so just.
    What would happen if each of us might be able to turn off all annoying warnings and ignore the material damage?

    Let's see what other forum users have different opinions.

  • Satellite A660 - message: WARNING: a problem with the cooling system

    My laptop recenly started giving the error "Warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." Please turn off computer immediately and return it for service"- Yes the fan had stopped working and touchpad area was hot.

    So I take it on the type of service (toshiba) and must answer for fan, Mo, HARD drive, he said. Is this possible? -J' I have extended warranty, but is ' t it much? not to mention that it takes a month to get things down.

    He also mentioned that I could use the machine with a cooling pad until then if I wish.

    Any feed back?

    > Yes the fan had stopped working and touchpad area was hot.

    In this case, there is really a hardware problem.
    But I m wondering why he should replace the HARD drive and the motherboard
    Perhaps only the cooling module began at malfunction of course this is just a speculation
    If the technician has checked the material, then they need to know what parts are not OK.
    So don t think you have no choice.

    But the guarantee is valid for all is free

    WARNING: A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please, turn off computer immediately and return it for service.

    Follow the health of toshiba CPU is less than 50% temp and if it goes much higher that the cooling fan turns on and it lowers down and the fan stops again, I noticed that only the fan works r/h to cool the cpu, both should come together? What is a software problem?

    TThe unit is new without even the plastic off the surround screen or webcam. Any help or even point me in the right direction would be much appreciated, gary

    Hello

    Which program gives you this error message about the cooling system?

    Before contacting a service partner, as you can read in the error message, you must clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. Maybe dust blocking the fan or something else. Of more to clean up it of not necessary to disassemble.

  • Satellite P200 - 16 X - cooling system does not work

    Hello

    Since a few days, I have a problem with my P200 - 16 X. The cooling system no longer works and so tmy laptop overheating... until stop you it immediately. So I have to wait a while before being able to use it (the fridge is really good to cool, but only when the need to use is extrem). If I use it with the lowest consumption settings, I is overheating but the CPU is always at 65 ° C all the time.

    I know the standard answer to this kind of problem is dust, but this isn't the case here. I have always paid attention to this and I checked: there is no more than dust on the fans or the grid. I went into the BIOS but found no option to control the fans.

    Do anyone have any idea on this? What I find strange is that I found someone on a forum having the same problem as me and at the same time (a few days ago). Would it be an update for Vista, which can be the cause of this (here's the update only I made since December and at that time, everything worked well as I was playing games in 3D without any problem)?

    Thank you.
    Enguerran

    I can see satellite P200 - 16 X is listed on this page than the compatible laptop model, but are you sure you want to do it alone? To do this you need to disassemble the laptop everything and this must be done carefully following the right steps.

    The disassembly is described in maintenance manuals, but this document isn't public. Is guaranteed for your valid laptop?

  • Cooling system works well on Satellite Pro 6000

    Hello
    I get a message from the operating system on my SP6000, the message tells me that my cooling system does not work well, and after the computer turns off. It sews the cooling fan is not running. What a hardware or software problem?

    Thank you

    Sammy.

    Hello

    If the cooling module doesn't run the very danger because the CPU can cause damage.
    I put t think that it s a software problem because fans should operate without any software.
    Of course the Toshiba energy saver, which is preinstalled on the use of the CPU and fan control unit.

    First of all, you should check the fans and if necessary try to clean with the vacuum cleaner.
    If after this procedure, the cooling modules cannot work properly if you need to contact the service.

  • Qosmio G20 error message: problem with the cooling system has been detected

    I'm trying to fix a Qosmio G20 (which is about 3 years old, it is no longer in warranty).

    Error message: Warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected.

    I managed to remove the outer case and observe the operation of the machine, and basically one of the fans does not at all. The fan which is closest to the power connector seems to work very well (he seems to be turning a lot, do not know if this is normal), but the other fan who does not seem to move at all.

    When I put in place the case and on the machine, I noticed after a few minutes the vent of the fan working heat sink had warm enough, while led the non-working fan remained cool.

    I cleaned the fan from dust and have also changed the BIOS battery mode mode high performance, but the problem still exists.

    I would be grateful if someone could give advice if the problem is the fan or something else.

    If the fan is the problem, where I can buy a: i live in the United Kingdom?

    Hello

    I think there might be something wrong with the cooling module and the replacement would be necessary.
    Usually, this should be done by an authorized provider (ASP) in your country.

    Technicians could replace it with a new part and also could renew the thermal grease which is placed between the module and the CPU cooling.

    So contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

    By the way; also, you can buy the cooling of the ASP module!

    Good luck

  • Re: Satellite C660D - cooling system of the fault

    Hello

    I get a message on my cell, read, defect detected in the cooling system immediately turn off the power and claim a satellite service. It is not the fan I had the I.T. guys at work, take a look.

    It seems the front of the laptop, where is the card reader and the surrounding area is to hot.

    One idea would be very welcome.

    Thank you

    Dave

    > Is not the fan I had the I.T. guys at work, take a look.
    What have they checked exactly? Have they dismantled the notebook and check fan feature only?
    As much as I know the cooling system is not just the fan. The motherboard has several sensors which take care about material temperature overheating and critical. Maybe one of them does not work correctly.
    In my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

  • Satellite C660D - a problem with the cooling system has been detected

    My laptop is a * Toshiba Satellite C660D-11th * and I have a message that keeps coming up every once in a while 'alert system' head and reads as follows: "WARNING: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." (Next line) Please, turn off computer immediately and return it for service. »

    I had this warning for the coming weeks and it tolerated, but it worsened and annoyed me for the last time. I can hear the fan and the computer is not over heating (the CPUCool freeware tool detects a 51º CPU temprature C). No further questions arise as the computer slows down, it is right in the path of what I do, like typing right now.

    I tried to solve the problem by changing the "Power Options" in the control panel of Windows 7 'High Performance', and then selected under the 'battery' both 'Sector' columns, 'Never' for the parameter "put the computer to sleep. It seems to work, and no error message has occurred since then. However, this is not a solution...

    Please help quickly, this prevents me from working and even other things now.

    Hello

    Usually, this message would appear if something is not wrong with the cooling system. But I read here in the forum that maybe it's a bug of software and after new system recovery this message should no longer appear.

    Hello

    The fan that was installed in the satellite P100 expected works well and should be able to cool the CPU without any problem.
    I recommend you to check the settings in the energy saver. There, you can choose between different modes.
    It is also important that the fan grids are free. The air circulation is very important for the cooling of the processor
