Portege M400: questions about fan and screen buttons

Hello

I just received a M400 and experience a great tablet, but I have two problems.

Fan seems to be always, no matter how hot the cpu or the performance.

buttons on the screen, specially the control stick, do not work after some time of use, a reboot usually solves it.

I tried to reinstall the drivers as suggested on other forums, without success. It looks like a driver problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Hello guys. Fans are running because of the temperature inside the laptop.
@Nicknick1: you are using the joystick. In this case, I guess you play. All series device with a maximum performance during the game. It s wasn't that asking the fans to run all the time.

However: I put t know how much standby power version you have, but you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver the V7.08.00 changed to 17/03/06

    Hi all

    I have read a number of thread on this forum regarding the work (or not!) with the P100 series fans.
    I use Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) I've updated my DSDT with a custom compiled version and also uses the version 3.30 BIOS... I had to do in order to get the sound working on this laptop.

    However, I noticed that the fan on the left side of the laptop never turns under Linux. It turns on with XP.
    The fan at the back of the computer seems fine no lights when the CPU is running...

    What is the GPU fan?
    Nobody knows if this will be quickly resolved... I raised a few applications support with Toshiba in the hope that it will make a difference.

    Also doesn't someone at - it will suspend / hibernate works correctly (i.e. sound and networking works when he took over)...

    Thank you

  • 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 randomly turn off and restart

    Hello
    I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what's wrong with my laptop? Two days ago began to randomly turn off and restart. I checked the following:
    -Execution control online Panda Security virus etc - all ok.
    -Check the system of newspapers but all it records is an error "windows has stopped unexpectedly".
    -Suspect an overheating problem I took it to pieces, clean all the dust from the fan and the heat exchanger. Also cleaned up all the old thermal paste off the CPU and replaced with new ones. It works now much cooler but always stops at random.
    -Run a Suse Linux Live DVD to check, it certainly isn't a problem with the OS and it stops again.

    I'm guessing that something is short circuit on the motherboard because it will run ok if it is on a flat surface and not moved and I do not press too hard while typing etc. However, it is a bit hit and Miss. If someone has had this problem before and there at - it something else I could try? Also any ideas on is how a new motherboard? I expect probably expensive :( If there is any kind of fix I can do myself? I'm pretty technically minded and do not have a problem with taking it bit do not know much about electronics, engines are more my thing :D

    TIA, Firedrake

    PS The laptop model number is PPM40E running Vista Business.

    Hello!

    I m not an expert in laptop but in my opinion, it sounds like a hardware malfunction. The reason could be a faulty motherboard or something else.
    I mean you already tried Linux bootable disk, so I think that the problem is not bound by the OS.

    I put t know how much a new card mother cost and if it s difficult to Exchange or not, but you should contact the nearest ASP that you can find on the Toshiba site. The laptop technicians can check your laptop and order a new card of mother.

  • Two questions about T440s and T540

    Hello

    Recently, I bought ThinkPad T540 and my father also got a T440s for his work. He asked me if there was a physical switch to WiFi and I have no idea. It wasn't a W510, is this feature removed on T540 and other models xx40?

    Another thing is the sleep button. Before that I was able to quickly put my computer to sleep with the key Fn + Sleep (rescent blue moon). I know there is no button with the same symbol, but in Lenovo Power Manager there is an option for the action of the "Sleep" button It is set to "sleep". My question - is there a "sleep button" after all? I am able to define a shortcut for sleep somehow outside the power button / stop hoding for 1 second?

    Yes, wifi switch has been removed in laptops Haswell. I think fn + 4 is now the sleep button (not F4!).

  • Question about snapshots and virtual machines

    Hi all

    I have a small question about snapshots. I use VMware for about 6 months and I read about snapshots and how they work but still have a question to make sure that I understand how it works and it will work the way I think it works.

    I have a Windows 2003 server, which is a virtual machine. I have an application that uses MSDE database. I want to upgrade the database to MS SQL 2005, but to do this I need to back up the MSDE database, uninstall MSDE, and then install SQL 2005 and move the SQL database. This happens on the same VM.

    What I was thinking if I well Snapshots correctly is to snap turned the virtual machine before doing anything. Then do my upgrade steps and see if everything works. If its all messed up so I should be able to return to my shot and everything should be the way he had. What is the good? One of the main reasons I moved the server VM was because of this upgrade.

    After reading the documentation for the snapshots, it's how I undestood it. Pretty much any change could be reversed with snapshots. I wish just they had put in a few examples in the PDF file. Also it would be the same for all type of grades of the OS? Could I snapshot a Windows 2000 Server, and then "in the upgrade of the square" to Windows 2003? I've cloned a VM to do this but was curious about whether snapshots would be just as easy.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello.

    That is right.

    Exactly the same thing for the upgrades of the OS.

    Perhaps the most important thing with the snapshots is to keep an eye on them and don't let them sit too long or become too big.  You have described the use cases are very good uses for snapshots.  Just make sure you have a solid plan with a schedule set, so that you can come back or validate changes before the snapshot becomes too large.

    Good luck!

  • Question about CR and LF

    Quick question on LF and CR. As you can see I'm LF and CR of writing to a text file and because directly.

  • Portege R100: fan and screen

    My portege r100 fan no longer works and I wonder to the service change only the fan or the mainboard... and my screen has 24 dead pixels color do that I have to do
    Kind regards

    Hi Murat,

    From my experience, repairers will be the fastest option for them and not the cheapest for you. If your fan can be replaced easily without changing the motherboard, then it is what they will do.

    In regards to your dead pixels, the only real solution is to replace the screen.

    I think that it is a job more suited to a Service Agent

  • Portege R100 - question about the installation of the USB port and Windows problems

    Hello

    I just bought a used Portege R100, but I have some problems. Of course the laptop isn't a CD or DVD, player so I tried an external DVD drive, but it did not work. What kind of device I have to install Windows (not an edition of recovery or anything like that, but a whole new windows on the formatted HARD drive)?

    I also have another problem: whenever I plug a USB device (I tried the DVD drive external and a USB keyboard) when I start the laptop, it seems to hang. At least, I am not able to type anything more; the keyboard of the laptop is dead (the point where the entrance would still be flashing in the BACK platform, but typing. sth on the keyboard isn't doing anything). It is not normal, is it?

    I also tried to get to the BIOS, but I tried various commands (F1 to F12, DEL etc.), but I couldn't access the BIOS. It would be great if someone could tell me the command for it.

    Thanks in advance for the help and sorry for the bad English, I'm not a native speaker :)

  • Question about variables and actions put forward in CP7 - display button once the user has clicked on many areas of click

    Hi all

    Can't seem to understand this one. I had assumed it should be fairly easy, but not... I'm quite inexperienced with variables so, maybe someone could help?

    Basically, the case is quite simple: I want a next button to be invisible until a user has clicked on several areas of click on a slide. Each box click click should disclose additional information on a topic. When all topics have been read, I want the nest button to appear.

    Any suggestions on how I could do it with as little effort as possible? Maybe I don't even have to use variables?

    Help much appreciated!

  • Question about phone and / or Android 1.5

    I have a question or a statement that needs confirmation. If someone could be good enough to help out I'd appreciate it.

    I am a heavy Texter and text on a daily basis, probably an average of about 250 + texts per day. Also, I noticed and I took County, after about 4 hours of texting the android keyboard and also the swype keyboard, affecting the time key to key response starts to slow down and get slow and ultimitely is unbearable to the text with. Even with the home screen and sliding screens from left to right, and as I said it doesn't happen only after some hours of use of the phone. So, I have to restart the phone and repeat for it keep to become lazy and unbearable to text with. I usually reset every morning or when I wake up. This is nothing compared to my sisters Mytouch, which is in fact older than my phone, it can affect his day at the time and not get done with the delayed touch response. I also noticed that his phone is running Android 1.6.

    Now my concern is, if I'm the only one knows this or is it due to a defective phone. What is the Android obsolete 1.5 that many people are talking about who is performing on the phone in this way.

    Basically, it's because of 3 things.

    1. history - more history, more than it takes to load. (If you wipe all messages and try again, you'll see what I mean)

    2 android 1.5 - don't know what the reason, but even on 1.6 devices SMS language delay is AVERAGE less.

    3 Swype - if you have enabled, it tends trolling more than the default android.

    It is not your phone, it's all phones Cliq/Cliq XT... 1.5 hate text messaging.

    In addition, your phone will work more effectively without a task manager. They are nice to have if you need something CF or to extend the life of the battery (no), it actually takes your phone like some processes that would otherwise, and you also have the risk of frost on the phone all together because some group programs are essential and cause the home screen all recharged after their closure. I would like to refer to this site in order to better explain.

  • Question about printing and resolution

    Hello

    I have a trial version of PE13 tries and tries to reconcile with printing and resolution.

    I also read this informative tutorial here:

    How Image resolution affects printing - Photoshop tutorial

    This is the image I want to print:

    PhotoshopQ.jpg

    In the above tutorial, the author states that when printing, resolution 300 is the best and not the 79.3 px/inch I. When I change this 79.3 to 300, the image of Marilyn becomes tiny, so my question is how can I have a picture that would fit perfectly on photo paper A4 with a white 1 "border around itself (which means that the size of the image would be 8" x 6 ") while maintaining a 300 resolution?

    I go about it the right way, am I not?

    Thank you very much.

    Steve

    While the recommended resolution to see images from a short distance is 300 dpi, the normal resolution for screens, which was 72 PPI doe not exceed 90 ppi, except for the new screens hidpi. Which explains the "extended" effect that you see when you look at the 100% view (an impression pixel corresponds to a pixel on the screen). The print size will be what you chose: 6 * 9 inches.
