• Satellite pro M10: CPU cooler problems

  Hello
  I am using a Satellite pro M10 1.5 G.
  The cooler cpu or fan, makes a strange noise. It seems that some module between the wheels of a bike. It's very annoying. The pc is not so quiet as it was before.

  What can I do?

  Hello

  It sounds like there is something caught in the cooling that is contagious fans the fan blades. Visually check the fans through the aspiration air grills to see if you can see what it is.

  Unfortunately access to all fans will involve some disassembly so I would try to suck debris on the grids of aspiration of fan with a vacuum cleaner.

  If the problem persists, it may be necessary to take the unit to a Service Agent authorized to check/replace cooling fans.

• 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.

• Shutdown in Vista with a Portege M400 problems

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Portege M400 (do not know if it is a matter for the Council of vista or portege support plate, anyway). I installed Vista Express Upgrade a few months ago and everything worked fine for a while.
  But over the last 4 weeks, my laptop seems to have a problem when stopping down. No matter if she's just hibernates or shuts down completely, the computer automatically turns itself after being off for about 5 seconds.
  I have to use the switch to turn it off again (and then it stays off). Any ideas? I haven't changed anything and it could be a hardware problem, but my guess is that it has something to do with Vista ;)

  Thank you

  Alex

  Hello

  installed some software or tools/applications/updates? Sometimes, a small update can disrupt the entire system and preventing it from functioning. So, just check what has been installed and it may be useful to install the new bios, maybe update all drivers etc... Make sure that everthing is real and up to date.

• Boot Portege M400 problem

  Hello world!

  I had this Portege M400 for nearly 2.5 years and never met with such a problem.

  When I press the power button / stop * HDD led light turns on, then WiFi and then suddenly the HARD drive off * and the rest in this way: (.) Eventually, the Toshiba logo appears at the same time. I thought that problem disc HARD just to know that after 90 degrees my laptop WHAT HDD led start flashing again. Eventually, Windows loads at startup animation it would 'safe' return to normal position and expected to start Windows.

  so, I suppose the problem is somehow related to the accelerometer, is it? I don't get these gels after Windows starts. Currently I have version 3.8 BIOS and installed Windows 7 Pro...

  It's really starting to annoy me - people look at me funny, as I switch my cell phone 90 degrees :-)

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks in advance!

  Best regards
  Jovan

  Hello

  Maybe it has something to do with laptops HDD?
  Maybe the head of HARD drive cannot be moved correctly and the vertical position allows to get the drive moving head again
  Unfortunately, I've never seen such strange behavior for laptop and so I can give you a few personal suggestions.
  In my view, that the HARD drive should be checked at the first maybe the problem could be solved in replacement of HARD drive

• Problems of subsequent update on Portege M400 and W7

  I did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my Portege M400 and it looks particularly pretty good.

  However, I do not have a utility to map the buttons (including the one that indicates the landscape/portrait orientation has changed). Who would be on the Toshiba Software Installer for Windows 7 (tsi4win7.exe)? Attempt to run that flashes a dialog box before displaying a second dialog box saying "this device is not manufactured by Toshiba or the BIOS is not Windows 7 compatible. No update will take place."

  I check that the BIOS was not serious for WIndows 7 before making the instalation. Trying to apply the latest version of the BIOS gives an error message "[error] BIOS update is not supported. No support for operating system or service pack is installed. »

  Can anyone help?

  As much I know Portege M400 only is not supported for Win7. If you can not find drivers and tools specific to Toshiba for this model of laptop.
  I'm sorry.

  The only thing you can try is to install stuff for other models supported, in the hope, it works well.

• Portege M400 - always 100% fan running

  I was pleased to receive my new toshiba portege m400 today, but the noise of the fan is quite bad.
  The problem is that he always runs 100% - I tried the Toshiba power save the properties of
  set the speed of the fan, but nothing is made, it has no effect at all. Also, I tried to put
  all three bios power options (low, full power, user), but that has no effect either.
  Worse still, the cpu temperature is very cool, just 29 degrees, and there is no need
  at all to run the fan at full speed. I guess that the power save utilities are bugged, and I wonder
  If Toshiba will come out with a new version of their tools? Is there something I can do?

  Thank you
  -Daan.

  PS. the version of the bios 1.30, toshiba power save tools 7.08.00. The processor speed is dynamic, generally at 1 ghz and
  the temprature is very low.

  Hello

  Try to clean the cooling modules. You can use the vacuum.
  In addition, you must use the laptop in the places where fans can suck the air out without any problem.

• Portege M400 crashes due to overheating

  I have exactly the same problem with a Portege M400.

  After an hour or 2 the fan becomes extremely noisy and the PC freezes. The computer base would become too hot to the touch, and in fact stickers youcef/Microsoft and barcode based turned Brown due to heat.

  The only way to solve the problem seems to be to shut down the PC so 15-minutes and restart.
  When this happens, I usually only outlook running, Norton and a browser!

  This hs happening for about 6 months. I cleaned the fan but this made no difference - anyone know a fix?

  Hello

  If you have cleaned the cooling modules and if this t n helps, then you should get in touch with technicians from the ASP.
  Maybe the laptop it apart and must be cleaned inside.
  It is a very delicate procedure. Moreover, the thermal grease that I placed between the CPU and cooling modules should be renewed.
  After a long period of use, thermal grease becomes dry and is unable to channel the heat created by CPU.

  Last but not lease you must always use your laptop on a table. Use it in bed or lying on his knees. In this case the fan would not get enough air and this leads to a higher temperature.

• Portege M400 - temperature?

  I have a Portege M400 under XP SP2 and during normal use, the temperature is usually between 55 and 65 degrees celcius. To load, the temperature is consistently above 60 degrees, between 60 and 75 degrees celsius.
  I was wondering if this is a normal temperature range - or maybe I was so unlucky as to have gotten a defective processor.

  Jonas

  Hello

  I'm sure you know that the CPU temperature is based on the use of the processor and also the position of the portable computer (on the desktop or on the knees) and how the device can be cooled.

  In my opinion there is no reason to worry. Now while typing this message and listen the the CPU temperature online radio (no activity) is 63 degrees Celsius.

  In any case, I recommend you to update the BIOS on your device. I put t know if you have any info of saw on new update BIOS for M400 under http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6A01KJ0000R01.htm

• Portege M400 keeps freezing

  I recently bought a Portege M400 and it completely freezes and requires a hard reboot at least once per day - any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Hello

  You use the image of the preinstalled Toshiba or you manually installed the OS?
  Do you use the 3rd party software?

  I don't know if it is useful, but sometimes a high temperature could be responsible for the laptop computer from freezing.
  In most cases the cooling modules may not work properly due to the circulation of air is bad.
  Please remember that you have enough space around the laptop and the fans are clean.

  In addition, you can check the standby power settings that allow you to change the processor, the speed of processing and cooling method.

  If this does not help so I recommend asking for extra help Toshiba service partner and diagnosis.
  I assumed that the Portege M400 is a new unit and of the guarantee must be valid.
