Issue of fan on Satellite A100 speed

Hello

I noticed that after about an hour to be switched-(fan of the note is already low), the fan accelerates by amount and maintaines he until I turn it off, however it does not accelerate to full speed, it just stays at medium speed.

This has not happened before, but I first noticed it since I've updated the BIOS this morning.

Is this a problem? and has anyone noticed something similar?

It's an A100-225

Thank you

Hi guys

There s nothing wrong if the fan operates at a lower speed. Wizad that you suggested that this happens because you have updated the BIOS. It seems that the BIOS has been changed and so the fan runs continuously with low speed. In my opinion, it's much better as the restless fan rotation. The fan runs constantly but more silent.

Don t be happy to worry ;)

    Hello

    I have restored my Satellite L655 Windows 7 with 2 CD I created when I bought my

    To be honest I don t understand your problem. As far as I know cooling fan is controlled automatically to make it work if necessary.

  • Satellite A100 - replacement of the cooling fan

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite A100 model computer and fan cooling for the right heat sink dropped on me a few days ago.

    I rang Toshiba, who told me that it cost E120 more parts to install a new fan. I see CPU fans online for as little as E5 and have a good idea on how to open my computer to install but I am not sure what exact fan kind I need to buy if anyone can help I would be grateful.

    Need more info just ask and I'll post a response.

    Hello!

    Not all fans to adapt in each book.
    So I think that the fan for Satellite A100 is not so cheap and don t forget it is not easy to disassemble a laptop. That's why it takes a lot of time and you need to remove a large number of screws.

    Of course you can do it by yourself, but you will need the original Satellite A100 cooling fan. Maybe you can find one on eBay or elsewhere.
    Good luck!

  • Satellite A100 - the fan runs at high speed after idle standby

    Hello

    My laptop is Satellite A100-912.

    The problem is when I suspend it for more the a few minutes when the fan is running at high speed. This occurs on both Windows XP and Linux GNU. When the temperature of the two nuclei will more then 51 degrees C fan slows down and begins to work as expected. Suspended for a short time (about a minute or two) the fan speed is OK.

    I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS.

    Hello

    What version of BIOS you have installed? Has recently been the machine in for repair? A few interesting facts where I need some information to help you...
    By the way: is your machine still in warranty?

  • My Satellite A100 GPU fan works 100% all the time

    First: I have the Satellite A100-440 with GeForce Go 7300 and XP Professional (and Ubuntu).

    There is something wrong with thermal control. The first PC Wizard has always shown that the temperature of my GPU is "a very large number" and the fan is runnign 100% all the time (the main problem). Then I installed ATItool hoping he would show the temperature correctly. Well, it worked in part. Now when I check the temperature with PC Wizard, it indicates the temperature of the GPU normally (like 30-40 degrees celsius), but it also shows the GPU Diode temperature it's "a very large number" (as 4.294967E + 09 C) and the fan will operate at 100%.

    I tried to control fans with RivaTuner, but nothing happens.

    So if anyone has an idea how I could continue to solve the problem, I would be very grateful. I don't know if the problem is with the hardware (I could take this service) or with the software...

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Why are you talking about 'problem' and 'solve this problem?
    I see no problem!
    First of all I'm not all 3rd party applications that monitor temperatures. I'm not 100% sure if these applications provide a good values.

    However, as far as I know the laptop was shipped with Vista and not XP and Linux. You do not use a factory settings. It seems that you have set up the laptop with new applications and you should know that all the software installed and running insists on the CPU and other parts.

    BIOS fan table supports different temperature and cooling of the speed measurements. This means that if the temperature rises to a higher level, the cooling module starts and tries to decreases the internal temperature.

    Usually the temperature depends on the use of the laptop. If several processes of the OS are running in the background, that the CPU performance are high, the temperature rises and the fans start to run. There is nothing unusual about it.

    Furthermore, the dust and debris inside the laptop might have a bad influence on the laptop cooling. From time to time, it is advisable to clean the cooling modules.

    Last but not least the laptop must be placed free on table to ensure the circulation of air correctly. Don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop.

    Finally, I must say that one of my friends has an A100 and the fans run correctly.
    This means that the cooling modules works with maximum performance while playing games or using graphics software.
    However fans do not work with maximum performance using only common programs like IE software or office.

  • Satellite A100-159 - FAN is always on

    Hello
    I bought Satellite A100 159 with T2500 and Radeon x 1600.
    Fan is always on. I've updated the bios and it did not help. What is more, when I put the driver ATI PowerPlay to use and when the battery is low, I get only a few scratches on the desk and the computer restarts. Windows indicates that there is problem with unknown driver.
    What can I do to stop the FAN - my CPU temperature is 28-31 cellsius and the frequency is always set to 2000 MHz (everest watch 1995 MHz).
    I think that, this fan should not run while the temperature is so low. My old centrino almost always has 40 to 50 degrees and the fan is always disabled.
    What can I do more to make the fan only works when the temperature is above 40 degrees?

    Kind regards

    I should add that my old Acer TM 4502 with Centrino has SpeedStep that makes of changing speed from 500 MHz to 1600 MHz CPU. I would like to do with my new Satellite - it might help with the problem of fan. If I change the speed of the CPU that the temperature will be lower and the fan does not spin all the time.
    I noticed that the fan is stopped when I start the computer in the morning when it is cool. After windows starts when rizes temp fan starts and doesn't stop.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    The Toshiba power saver is responsible for the processor and the fan controlling.
    Please open the energy saving mode you are using, choose the menu Basic tab and change the option method of cooling to a lower level. In addition, you can change the method of control of the CPU to auto.
    This procedure should allow to change the use of the fan.

  • Issue of the upgrade to Vista - Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

    Hello.
    Well, I think to upgrade to windows vista from my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100 (PSAA9)). I was researching (little) on the drivers and hardware compatibility with vista, and it seems that if I update now, I can't find major problems. Is this true?
    I ask because when I was looking for drivers for vista, I found many (and some of those that exist, I can't download them!) But even without a driver, vista will recognize and install drivers 'default' for the material of my laptop? Can someone answer this with some?
    My major concern is connectivity: lan and wireless! I'll be able to install the hardware drivers to operate these two things?

    Thank you very much to all those who somehow tries to help with these issues!
    Good bye.

    Hello

    I upgraded my and installed all the drivers from the card reader SD me just used for XP drivers and they worked very well. There are a lot of vista drivers now available for this model, although I am having trouble with the value added package to allow me to use the function keys and access keys.

    Apart from that, I had no other problems!

    Good luck... Let me know if value-added package that works for you, seems to be working for some but not for others.

    See you soon

  • Satellite Pro A120 - fan runs at full speed

    I've had my laptop for a few years, and for about a week now when I first turn on the fan runs at full speed. I restart the computer immediately and fun runs normally. I suspect overheating or dust problems since it works at full speed as soon as it is powered but not after a reboot. I left at full speed for a long time to see what is happening - I is not too annoying. I usually restart immediately.

    These laptops have the sensors of dew or something? I guess the House is cooler just now.
    Advice anyone?

    Ritchie.

    Hello

    I doubt the s sensor issue or something like that
    Cooling modules are controlled by the BIOS. The fan table that contains all the details about the features of the cooling module is stored in the BIOS and I recommend the default BIOS settings first

    So, start the laptop, press F2 and access the BIOS.
    Press F9 to get the BIOS default settings, and then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
    Of course, the cooling modules must be verified if the vents are not blocked
    The dust is more a cause of such symptoms
    Remove dust using a jet of compressed air can be useful in your situation

  • Cleaning of the Satellite A100 - 454 Fan - how?

    Hi, I have a Satellite A100-454 and:
    -in the past months, the laptop heats up enough quickly
    -Since last week, the fan of heats up very quickly (and the entire region under the power and the multimedia keys gets too hot) and the portable computer turns off without any warning.

    The whole area that gets hot being near the fan, I think it is damaged, or at least with a lot of dust. So I ask, how can I clean it (to my responsibility, of course)?

    Best regards, the Portugal

    Hello

    As you know if you want to clean it properly you need to disassemble your laptop and have access to the cooling fan and cooling grid. If the disassembly procedure must be made according to order of disassembly. Manual maintenance is unfortunately not public document so you can follow the instructions given on this page.

    Of course, on your own risk!

    Hello

    There is no special application that could control the laptop fans!
    The Vista and BIOS itself control the cooling modules!

    I do not know if these tips will help you to solve this problem, but you should definitely check out if m your use of the latest version of the BIOS.

  • 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

  • Satellite A100: Need guide to clean the fan

    Hello

    My Toshiba Satellite A100 is about 18mnths old. Recently, it started to freeze and crash in particular when using any CPU intensive process. I think that the laptop could be overheating - recently, I noticed that the fan seems to be a lot longer than it used to be.

    I want to keep it simple and do not go so far as to clean the radiator or the change of grease between the CPU and the heatsink. I want to just open the case and give the Interior a clean place.

    First, is it reasonable? OR should I clean the radiator, change the fat, etc.

    Second, there are tips online with step by step pictures? I searched and found nothing for my specific PC.

    Thanks in advance.

    > My Toshiba Satellite A100 is about 18mnths old. Recently, it started to freeze and crash in particular when using any CPU intensive process. I think that the laptop could be overheating - recently, I noticed that the fan seems to be a lot longer than it used to be

    You might be right! These symptoms are related mainly to an overheating problems.
    Especially these behaviors could begin if the laptop is a little older and it was not cleaned before.

    So first of all it of necessary to says you won't find all the instructions (photo) on the page Toshiba how to clean the fans generally this procedure must be done by a technician for laptop

    However, you could make yourself using a jet of compressed air. These aerosols can be purchased from the computer or some google simply online dealers

    I cleaned my fans several times and used this spray. It of very easy to use and it helps to get rid of dust and debris.

  • Satellite A100: Language for the Vista issue

    Hey all,.

    I just bought myself a Satellite A100 something something with Vista Home premium.

    When I turned on the computer on windows, it has proved to be the French. That in itself is not surprising, as I live in Belgium, where people speak Dutch and French. "Not a problem," I thought: "this manual is in French, Dutch and English, and therefore all the documentation.

    I'm sure the restore disc has all three languages out there, and I'll simply choose English. Or even the Dutch one for that matter. Anything other than the French! »

    So I start from the restore disc, and, Oh surprise, there are three languages out there: French, Dutch and English. Unfortunately, the computer won't let me choose any language but French because "you have selected French, now, you're stuck with it. (off bugger) ", or something like that.

    Unfortunately, I never selected French: the Distributor, or Toshiba himself has made. Is it possible to bypass this protection, or I'll have to return the laptop and make sure that I do not get a French?

    Thank you

    Hello

    One question: has Vista already installed on the laptop when you started the laptop for the first time?
    Usually the Vista operating system there are on the HARD drive, but if you turn on the laptop for the first time, you should get the CONFIGURATION window and you should be able to set all the parameters such as language, country and keyboard by yourself.

    By the way; This is not a bug in recovery CD! As far as I know, you can only choose one language from the recovery CD that supports 3 languages. I guess that this State is saved in the BIOS or elsewhere and you can select only this language which was chosen at the first time.

    In your case I contact the dealer of the new laptop and ask the guy if they or someone else has already installed the OS on this laptop
