HP Probook 4540 s (C4Z10EA) - funny fan noise
Hi all
HP Probook s 4540 (C4Z10EA), I bought recently and now there is a strange problem. When I press and hold the 'Q' key, I hear a funny noise the fan. It seems that the key is in contact with the fan, and I hear a scraping noise.
A similar problem?
Kind regards
A
I sent the laptop for repair and it has been "fixed." Turns out that there are particles between the keyboard and the casing. That's why I heard a strange noise. After cleaning everything looks/sounds OK.

Portege R700 - 11G - high and annoying fan noise
Dear friends:
I have a Portege R700 - 11G, I bought only two weeks ago.
The computer works fine, except for the high and annoying fan noise.
Even do nothing, only to start and sometimes in the bios Setup, the fan is always turn with a temperature of 40 ° or 50.
I've updated the BIOS and I don't know what to do.
Can someone help me please?
Thank you very much.Hi mate
Please check the settings in the Windows 7 power management!
There you can optimize the CPU and cooling performance module this should help reduce heat dissipation and fan speed.
In addition I recommend upgrading the Toshiba Fingerprint Software immediately to the version V1.0.2.32 or higher. In addition, turn off the power save option of fingerprint device in Device Manager.
Device Manager->-> authentic Tec Inc AES1610-> the power management of biometric devices
Here, you will have to remove the mark next to the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
Disable the power saving mode will reduce the life of the battery, so you can check whether or not it helps reduce noise. -
BIOS update solved the Portege M400 fan noise
The new version of BIOS (1.8) for Portege M400 solves the problem of fan noise. The Readme.txt explains that the temperature will rise only in three degrees. Very important, very recommended patch for users of M400.
Now I can use my tablet in my business meetings without having to give explanations to customers of the fan noise.
Greetings.
Hello Jose
It is very nice to hear that you are happy now. I read your previous assignments and I can understand you this annoying issue with cooling fan, but now you can see this laptop manufacturer is trying to make the product better, even if the product is on the market.
I am also certain that customer s comments can help identify the problem if persist und after this systematic search for the solution or change for the better.

Since my computer toshiba qosmio f10-101. After changing the old graphics card there is a fan noise that starts and stops every 2 minutes, it makes me crazy whenever I'm hear.Can someone tell me if this is normal and if they know if the specific card is noisy in any laptop? or if there are ways to remove this noise or to maximize the speed of the noise. ??

Satellite A660-12 t / A660-1FL - which we have less fan noise?
A couple of days, I received my brand new Toshiba A660 12 t. Everything is perfect except the noise from the fan. It is particularly strong for me that I often use the laptop in the library. For simple tasks, the fan runs between 59% and 67%. I tried different things to play with the power settings for the Bios upgrade and graphics card but nothing has changed.
Now I want to go back and change it with the Toshiba A660-1FL. Why this one? Two laptops have the same characteristics and the same price except the graphics card and the CPU. mine comes with Nvidia 330 m and I5-430. on the other side, the A660-1FL comes with the integrated Intel GMA HD and the I5 - 460.
I thought that maybe the graphics card is the reason!
Does anyone know if the fan noise will be reduced if I use a less dedicated graphics card? Should I change? in this case the GMA HD is a good graphics card?
If someone uses a Toshiba A660-1FL, could you please tell me if the fan is strong?I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance
Hello
NVidia GPU is a powerful graphics card, and especially these maps are designed for games.
The GPU from Intel is also a good graphics chip, but it of not powerful as the nvidia chip.
The nVidia chip would allow the current apps much smother but it creates more heat.This would affect the cooling fans which means that the fans would go more quickly and often.
So, theoretically the laptop with Intel GPU should be a little more quiet. -
Satellite L650 1NC - the fan noise
I bought the laptop in February 2011 and the fan noise deteriorated over time, now. I've read many threads in this forum and elsewhere about this problem and I think that the problems are basically the same.
Now that I've read some that messages stating that the new BIOS, released in September have apparently solved the problem, I did a BIOS update (Version 2.3) to meet the same problem again.
The fan stops when the temperature is below a certain threshold, in my case according to CoreTemp it seems to be at about 50-55 ° C. At the moment the fan turns off, which is also confirmed by the monitor of health indicating the 0% fan speed.
This leads to the CPU temperature increases until the fan is used to about 55-60% fanspeed.
This process repeats every 15-20 seconds and is very annoying.It gets worse, but if I start to actually do something like a request to open from the web browser - nothing serious, really, I don't want to start even complain about the noise while game/watch movies.
The fan speed will be 70-75% as soon as the CPU gets the work to be done.
The noise that results is unacceptable for 20-30 seconds.Noise is an important factor for me. At the University I can't use it as my fellow students are too distracted by its noise. To work my colleagues began to complain as well.
As I use my cell phone while being out of my own office/home it is basically useless for me now.Has anyone else still issues after the recent updates to the BIOS?
Is there a way to put the fan always runs at around 30-40%?All opinions are appreciated.
Hello
Cooling module performance depend on the internal temperature.
If the temperature arise at a higher level, the fan must turn more quickly to prevent equipment overheating it's usual behavior.But you can try to change some Windows 7 power management settings.
This will reduce the performance of the CPU and the dissipation of the heat and that should slow down the activity of the fan too.Here is instruction how to change the Windows 7 power management.

Satellite 2450 S203 fan noise problems
Hi guys
I had a Sat 2450 S203 since October 2003 and have recently noticed that whenever I run memory intensive programs fan noise levels are excessive and constant!
If someone could Advisor on the replacement of the fan and know if I should do it myself. Please also comment on the impact on costs as well. Are there other ways around to get rid of this problem?
Hello
After this long period, your device must be cleaned properly. I guess that dust inside the unit don't allow adequate cooling and cooling fan must often runs and faster to cool the hardware components. It is not only specific for your device, but for all laptops.
I'm sure that after cleaning, your device can take a deep breath and will work a lot better and calmer. I noticed the same thing with my Satellite P20. After cleaning the laptop runs very quiet and cooling fan just works sometimes. I'm very happy now.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 with fan noise problem.
It has been partially resolved the upgrade of BIOS from v1.20 to v1.30, according to this thread:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46719&start=0&TSTART=0Yesterday I updated the BIOS v1.50, and the sound of the fan returned.
I do not recommend this upgrade if you have had the problem of fan noise.I have downgrade BIOS v1.30 and fan noise problem is solved again.
I know that people have problems to get the downgrade to BIOS, so I describe the process in this thread:

But perhaps you could use the v1.5 BIOS and could reduce or reduce the activity of module cooling in Vista/Win7 power management settings.

Re: Satellite A200-1 t 0 - the fan noise & purchase spare fan & replacement

My Satellite A200-1 t 0 made noise bad uncomfortable even on cold start.
I tried to clean up the use of household vacuum without removing cabinets, always, she improved marginally.What I need to replace the cooling fan?
I looked on the internet I couldn't find out where to buy the replacement cooling fan.
I found a link as below, but it is mentioned that for AMD processor but mine in Intel Core 2 Duo.
http://www.Amazon.co.UK/Toshiba-Satellite-A200-1To-compatible-processors/DP/B005TTJ62U
Not sure if it would be compatible.I'll be able to buy this Toshiba?
Please kindly advice how to solve this problem of fan noise.
Thank you
Jay
[email protected]Hello Jay
Satellite A200 is old model of laptop, and I can imagine that the fan cooling and air conditioning grill are full of dust.
Before changing anything your laptop must be completely disassembled and cleaned. I did this several times in the past and I must say that my books were much quieter than before. After the cooling system will work properly and laptop will be able to take a breath.I put t know if you know someone who can help you with this. Please don't spend your money for new parts. At a first professional portable make cleaning.
Please send comments.
