Noisy fan on Satellite Pro A100

I bought this laptop last year Oct and it seems a bit buggy now. Sometimes the system just hang out like that... I was surfing at halfway and the system just block without reason. I haven't run any software... It is rarely happen, but it happened to me 3 times. I tried to restart and I can't. When I press the power button, the fan works but the screen is still black. I need to move it works for several times manage to turn it on.

Nowadays, the fan is really loud. I have no idea why it happened. I check the fan and there is no dust or whatever it is stuck there. I do not know how to open the case because it seems to open any advice don't manage to control the fan. I can't sleep at night because the fan is too loud. I changed the settings to low performance, but it's always noisy.

Hello

Wait you said you can't sleep because of the sound intensity fan hmm makes the laptop run an all night long?
Sorry to say but more often during this long turn the processor and other parts inside the laptop produce a lot of heat and it must be air cooled.

But I wonder about the laptop hung maybe this problem is software partner and in this case, you should first try to redefine the operating system on the factory settings.
Install the OS from the recovery CD and check if the laptop can run successfully

  • Satellite Pro A100 becomes warm while playing a game

    I had a problem for some time with the Satellite Pro A100 when I play games.

    I'm glitchy spells during the game, sometimes with the fan runs much and the laptop is very hot.

    Is there something I can do?

    Hello

    As you've probably experienced peripheral internally as CPU and GPU have to work with the best performance all in game. This leads to higher heat dissipation.
    If fans and the internal vents are clogged then the CPU and the GPU may not be cooled properly and may lead to overheating

    What can you do? You can ensure that your vents are free of dust and debris, and that air can circulate properly.
    I would recommend so clean the fans with a jet of compressed air. These aerosols can be ordered from dealers different computer/laptop.

    In addition, don t use the laptop in the bet, couch or on the knees because the cooling fans would be stuck and this would lead to a higher temperature.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A100 always seems very hot

    My Satellite Pro A100 seems always very hot. I can't get on my knee for long that I get really hot. Is this a general problem or there at - it something wrong with my laptop.

    I had about 5 months, and none of my other laptops have had this problem?

    Hi Colleen

    Have you read the manual? I think that you didn t. You will find instructions how to use the device.
    It seems that you are using this laptop on your lap. That s not good and not recommended!

    First of all the fans and the fans are placed at the bottom of the unit and its necessary and important to let him free because of the traffic the air!

    Please don t compare the A100 with other portable older. New generation laptops use devices of high performance like CPU and GPU. These elements must be cooled and the circulation of fresh air is very important to work properly. So use it on the table or desk and don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop!

  • Satellite Pro A100/P100 - compatibility touchpad

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 and I saw pictures and videos on the internet of people have these keyboards LCD that illuminate blue and have shortcuts but only touchpads I can find like that correspond to the P100 and ino models some of the parties each other as I was ve documented but I can t can't find if the touchpads do or not but I think that s what other people I saw someone do any ideas?

    Thank you to

    Hello

    The two models of laptops are old enough, is not easy to find some useful information on this subject. I remember that some P100/A100 and A200/P200 / X 200 models were offered with these keyboards.

    I m not a technician but I think these keyboards with keys have two cables must be connected to the motherboard and keys touchpad without buttons have a flat cable only.
    (I also believe that models with and without this touchpad have different numbers) model numbers) so it is possible that they have different mothers.

    What you need is a professional help with this. I mean, if possible, try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help. They have access to the database of Toshiba and can check the specification for your laptop model but also data base for all hardware components of portable.

  • Satellite Pro A100 support Micro SD card?

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 (model PSAAPE - OOTOOKEN).
    It has a card on the front slot and the manual says "this slot allows you to easily transfer data from devices such as PDA and digital camera that uses flash memory (SD/MS/MS Pro/MMC/memory cards xD).

    I want to buy a Micro SD (microSDHC) memory card for use with a tablet PC, I intend to buy.

    My question is, if I insert the Micro SD (microSDHC) card in a SD adapter and insert it into the slot of laptops, laptop will accept for read/write operations?

    I was wondering if I can get away with having one type of card for laptops and tablet, rather than a microSDHC for the tab and a SD card for the laptop.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The user manual provides information on the supported cards.

    Supported are:
    8 MB to 2 GB SD card
    MMC (multimedia) card 8 MB to 1 GB
    8 MB to 256 MB card MS (memory stick)
    MS (MemoryStick) Pro 256 MB to 2 GB
    16 MB to 1 GB xD memory card

    > My question is, if I insert the Micro SD (microSDHC) card in a SD adapter and insert it into the slot of laptops, laptop will accept for read/write operations?

    Since supports up to 2 GB card SD card reader, you should be able to use the microSDHC in relation to a SD card adapter.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - PSAAAE CPU upgrade

    Hi Toshiba,

    I have an old * Satellite Pro A100 * _PSAAAE-type_ and I would like to upgrade the processor. I have seen that is 479, and I found that there are the Core 2 Duo on this plug. The 945GM chipset supports Core 2 Duo, but I don't know if my laptop BIOS supports these CPU.

    Someone can confirm or not?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    In General, upgrading the CPU is not recommended.
    Of course, you can use the processors that are supported by the chipset, but the BIOS compatibility is another story. No one can tell if your laptop would be stable after this upgrade due to the higher heat dissipation.

    But I read in this forum that some guys have upgraded the processor and the laptop still works

  • Satellite Pro A100 and load problems

    Hello everyone. New Member here.

    Got a huge problem with my laptop. I have a satellite pro A100-830. Part number: PSAACE-00W002EN. About 2 years ago

    I can run on the current system. But it will not work on battery. I just bought a new battery and it shows on the computer.
    I get indications are:

    battery charge amber lit.
    Light on power
    Power meter indicates the battery charge. I connected new battery and it shows 47% and now 3 hours later its still 47%
    If I unplug the power to the computer shuts down and will not work on battery.

    the AC light seems to be slightly duller than the one next to him, if that makes sense.

    Ive tried updating the BIOS etc but I'm ideas if im honest as im not a computer pro. I searched the internet but I can't find an answer

    Huge thanks in advance

    Stand by.
    We need more explanation here.

    You have the same problem with the battery and you have bought one new in the hope that everything will be OK?
    Have you noticed the same problem with the battery?
    You bought original Toshiba battery?

    In my view BIOS update won't help you much. I think electronic power is responsible for this BIOS update ahs no influence on this.

  • Satellite Pro A100-622: disk space HARD lower since I use regitry cleaning tool

    I have a Satellite Pro A100-622 with 80 GB hard drive.

    About a week ago, I used a program I downloaded on internet to clearn registry and improve "performance.
    Since my HDD has been gnawed.

    I deleted programs as much as I could, but even before the cleaning, I never used 30 GB max.
    Have done everthing, disk cleanup, and no sooner got a few MBs, they disappear.

    Don't know what to do now.
    Even tried to reformat the drive using the recovery of products of Toshiba, nothing helps.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    You mean that 30 GB on the HARD disk are available?

    Check the status of the disk in disk management.
    You can see the entire HARD drive and all the available partitions
    Perhaps a partition has been created and the other part of the HARD drive is unallocated space

    But he s strange this recovery disk didn't solve this usually recovery disk format the whole HARD drive and redefines the laptop to factory settings

  • Satellite Pro A100 - it does not recognize 4 GB of RAM

    Hello
    today I purchased two 2 GB RAM Corsair DIMMS (DDR2 - 667 mhz) for my Satellite Pro A100.

    After that I updated the BIOS it detected the 4 GB of RAM, but the balance of RAM on the boot prompt checks only 3 GB of RAM. So I can use only 3 GB of RAM (I use ubuntu 64 as an operating system). When I try to RAM into another laptop, it works perfectly. A memtest86 + says check: no error. When I plug in a dimm in the laptop, it is correctly detected as a 2 GB dimm module (tested two DIMMs into the two slots on motherboard)

    Anyone else seen this behavior? For me, it looks like a limitation or a bug in the version of the BIOS.

    (The processor supports 64-bit (core2duo t5500))

    Hello

    What Satellite Pro A100 you have exactly?
    As far as I know that some models can only be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM.

    It's really not easy to say what is the reason for this because I m confused on the subject of what the BIOS recognize the 4 GB of RAM, but not the boot prompt.
    I'm not sure that maybe the modules are not compatible with your laptop. You can test other modules?

    Rename the package for example in "display driver" and then uncompress the package.
    Then go to the folder where the driver was decompressed and then launch the installation.
