• Portege R700 - high pitched noise

  I have a high pitched noise of my Portege R700 - 11 p. The noise is in the upper range of the sound signal (perhaps around 15'000 Hz) and is regularly increasing and decreasing at a rate of about 0.5 Hz. He is always there that if the laptop is plugged into the power source and sleep, this is sometimes if the laptop is connected and running and he faints immediately if I plug off the coast. The noise seems to come from the upper left corner of the laptop. It is not very strong, but clearly audible and quite annoying after awhile. Someone knows why this noise and any opportunity to get rid of it?
  Thanks, Martin

• Portege R830-very loud fan that runs until the machine hangs.

  My 3 month old R830 fan runs often and hard... and on a daily basis will remain running loudly until finally the machine hangs. .. What is very, very frustrating.

  Someone told me he had something to with the security of fingerprint software... go figure!... but anyway I'm eager to find someone who has a solution.

  As it is I think the machine is way over rated, because it is only an improvement of the SSD on the orginal R600, which, when it came out was the best in its class. A portable "high-end" disappointing from my point of view... and the so-called 'new' Z series looks a lot like the R600 with a SAME size SSD... so as it seems that I am stuck with this one, I'll try to find a fix for a very annoying problem.

  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.

• Satellite Pro L850 - very loud buzzing/drilling noise before crashing

  Someone at - he had this? Machine only a few months. Use of any office. Happened about 3 times now.

  All of a sudden made a very loud noise - more like a forest road than anything else - then crashes.

  This sound is produced by cooling fan or HARD disk activity? Maybe the two of them?

  Of course, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but I assume that a background activity may be responsible for this.
  Or have you noticed that some application you use ends by the failure of the system.

• My Satellite C855 makes a noise very loud

  Hello

  Today I was playing my games, as usual until my laptop from the sounds of buzzing very, very strong. Instantly, I turned off the laptop. Would be a bit and turned back to the left. Once again, very loud noises. I'm afraid to turn it back on now. IM thinking because it is the fan that is where comes the noise, but I can't be sure.

  Any advice on what to do? Someone else had this problem?

  Thank you
  Frozensin

  On this virtual path we cannot say with certainty what the problem is, but I can imagine that the cooling fan is responsible for this.
  From the first moment you turn on your computer laptop cooling fan is active, so I would like to know if you can hear the noise from the first second after the start.

  Is there another type of vibration?

  Of course, it is also interesting to know whether or not your laptop is guaranteed to be valid. If so, I recommend that you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider, explain the situation and ask for help.
  They can order and exchange cool air.

• Portege R700 - Malware with software pre-installed?

  I recently bought a Portege R700 - very well designed and built with an excellent specification. All is let down by the obnoxious behavior of collusion with Microsoft to send malicious software in the software loaded from Toshiba. It is absolutely inexcusable and unacceptable to load software that removes several times my IE8 homepage settings to replace it with MSN and the bling search engine. I hope I've stalked finally how to remove this MALWARE by editing the registry and delete the entries of thugs.

  (Especially from Toshiba) anyone know how I can ensure it is permanently deleted?

  Can someone give me a good reason why I should not report this behavior for the Commissioners of the European Union for violation of the antitrust settlement with Microsoft?

  I am completely disgusted.

  Hello

  To be honest, I never heard malware with software/OS preinstalled Toshiba or Microsoft.
  I m sure all software that will run are tested for the virus, malware, etc. so I put t think you have malicious software installed on your computer.

  I also use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba on my two laptops and all the settings, I've defined in IE8 or other programs have never changed.

  I recommend to install an antivirus program before going online.

• Portege R700 internal to screen very dark but can use the external monitor

  Hi guys,.

  just had a question about my Toshiba Portege R700 as the screen went white and I couldn't see the screen or sometimes I could and it was very dark!

  However, the laptop could start up as normal and I could use it normally through an external display!

  Subsequently, I replaced the screen and it started working again (happy days)!
  However, a few weeks down the line the same problem again apparently did screen dies.

  I take off again and disconnect and reconnect the screen just to see if that would solve the problem and he did, back and working again. I even tried the old screen I swapped and that works too!
  So I paid £140 + for a new screen that I didn't need, my question is what is the problem?

  Could not find anything else on this topic so would appreciate any help thanks

  Ross

  Hello

  It is difficult to say what might be wrong here usually black screen can be related to a faulty FL inverter.
  But laptop computer s display supports a backlight Led FL inverter should not be a problem here
  Maybe some loose contacts caused this

• Portege R700 - high CPU fan noise

  Hello

  I own the Canadian version of the Portege R700, called Tecra R700 (PT319C-00E002).
  The CPU fan always runs between 43 percent and 51 percent (regardless of the mode of selected frequency), which makes the noisy computer - too noisy to be used comfortably, too noisy to be used at meetings of air-conditioned silent.

  The fan seems to be controlled by the BIOS, as well as applications such as SpeedFan are unnecessary. Is there a way to fix this?

  Kind regards.

  Hi dernierrecours,

  > CPU fan always running between 43 percent and 51 percent (regardless of the selected frequency mode)
  This means that the fan runs always at the same level regardless cooling method that you can choose in Windows power management?

  Well, have you tried updating the BIOS? The latest version is installed?
  Check out the Toshiba page for an update.

• Portege R700 - original recovery image re-failed installation

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Portege R700 for years.
  As I have already some difficulties, I did a reinstall it a few years since the recovery partition. Directly.

  But, a few days ago, I had some problems with my portege.
  HARD drive seems to be broken because it making the noise and was really, really, really,..., very slow.
  Yes, after you perform a backup of the data for hours and hours (remember, it was really, really slow), I run a complete reinstallation of "recovery partition". It seems to be good, but... never finished the process, with the same noise from HDD and slower HARD drive IO.

  OK, my own diadnostic: change the HARD drive.
  This done, and by using the recovery DVD Toshiba just bought (Yes cannot find the DVD of burn of factors), I have the same question.... The recovery process does not end even if im waiting for days...
  And I have the same HARD drive noise. With the new!

  In order to have an MSDN license, I installed a Win7 Pro 32 bit, but not the Toshiba one.

  And he is running for days without any problem!

  But I have to reinstall all the drivers and software supplied by Toshiba.

  Obviouly I prefer to find what exactly is the problem with this Portege and reinstall the version of Toshiba Windows 7 Pro.

  So, if someonre read the story until the question is: NO IDEA?
  How to do a HW diagnosed? How to identify the exact problem?

  Thanks for your help.

  Joel

  It is really strange. You bought brand new HARD drive or you use a old and used as a replacement?
  Have you used recovery disks in the past with success? I mean maybe it's the recovery disc a troublemaker.

• Portege R700 - how to clean the keyboard keys?

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Portege R700 - and I spilled coke on a small part of the keyboard.
  Not surprisingly, the two or three keys are now "sticky."

  Is it as simple as access to the keyboard and the relevant keys of cleaning?
  Or is it not that simple?
  If I can do this, is there a pictorial guide on access to the keyboard?

  I'm reluctant to open first without consulting the tech manual.

  Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion, you will not be able to clean it properly. Coke is full of sugar. It can be complicated, but you can try it.

  In the worst cases, you must exchange he keyboard.
  So what you need to do is to remove Cap key for each critical button. It is set with small farmers in plastic. Just take something like the credit card but more stabile, put under the key cap and try to remove it. Under the key CAP is little key mechanism. Try to clean it with a damp cloth. Be careful and clean without a lot of pressure.

  When you think it's OK place the key cap and press it very gently of course.

  You'll hear the clicking noise and the cp key should be up again.

  I hope that you will be able to make it work again.
  Please post comments.

• Portege R700 - impossible to pass to Windows 10

  I have a Portege r700 with original Windows 7 OEM installation.

  Windows 7 is updated and program update Windows upgrade me to Windows 10 offer.

  The upgrade process begins very well, download & pre-configures all the stuff, and then finally ask me to reboot the system to continue with the upgrade.

  After a few seconds, the restart process is launched and load... the current Windows 7 system, saying that there was an error during the upgrade process.

  I did some tests; I'm also a fan of Linux, so I tried to boot the system with a LiveCD of my distributions preferred: after loading of the quick menu asking what I want to do (the liveCD boot, installation, diagnose, etc), it restarts... and show me again the quick menu (quick menu is GRUB, kernel functionality has not been loaded right now).

  I understand that 'something' (and I guess it's system restore Toshiba) let me start on something other than the original partition, preventing the upgrade of Windows 10.

  Any idea?

  I was offered the free update on my R700-12U and R930-1DK Toshibas--and did the updates without any problem. However, if I understand it right, the R700 is not on the list of evolutionary units, but it has worked very well on my own, from up-to-date W7.

• Portege R700-S1321 - cannot set the resolution of 1366 x 768

  I have exactly the same problem, as shown in:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64809

  The resolution of the laptop to random times and intervals seems to support a maximum of 1280 x 700, which translates into a 2 inch black bar on the right side and the button start Windows 7 off the screen.

  Currently its stuck in the resolution of the screen and no matter what I may not make it back to normal 1366 x 768.

  External monitors very well with the laptop work.

  Its 2.20 BIOS execution that seems to me later.

  It seems that the intel driver must get some information that is incorrect.
  Research on different forums and using moninfo, I see that the internal display does not support EDID and settings appear to be set by the registry somehow.

  I also tried to make an EDID override by creating an inf file that is customized with Moninfo, but appears not to the question of the effect.

  I also tried to restore from the recovery many times discs without success.
  During the installation of windows occurs, the screen is fine.
  When Toshiba additional programs are added to the screen returns to the 1280 x 700.
  I suspect that what happens when the graphics driver intel is installed.

  If I boot the laptop in safe mode resolution is 1366 x 768, which seems to suggest that it is the driver who has a problem.

  Anyone else had this issue and understand how to fix it? I see also that intel do not support EDID override.

  Any idea is appreciated. Thank you.

  > If I boot the laptop in safe mode resolution is 1366 x 768, which seems to suggest that it is the driver who has a problem.

  I think you are on the right track, and I think that his untimely pilot.
  That's why I recommend you to uninstall the Intel graphics driver in Device Manager.

  PORTEGE R700-S1321 was equipped with the Intel® Core i5 - 520 M processor and this processor supports the Intel® HD graphics card

  The latest Intel HD driver can be downloaded directly from the page of Intel:
  [Driver for Intel Core with Intel HD Graphics processors | https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics& ProductLine = graphic + portable + pilots & ProductProduct = Intel % C2% AE + Core E2% 84% A2 + processors + with + Intel % 2 C % AE + HD + Graphics & ProdId = 3231 & LineId 1101 = & FamilyId = 39]

  I need to download the zip package.
  Then you can install the driver through Device Manager by using the Advanced installation procedure. This allows you to link directly to this zip package. Windows system would automatically take the driver. After restarting again you that would have settled the last drivers and you should change your resolution.

• Cannot use 8 GB in Portege R700

  Hello

  I had 2 x 2 GB PC3 10600 ram in my R700 (i3) running Windows 7 x 64.

  I have a few sticks of 4 GB of ram, I wanted to update my laptop 8 GB total.

  I put in the memory which consists of:
  1 x 4 GB PC3 12800
  1 x 4 GB PC3 10600

  The laptop comes on the screen where it says "Starting Windows" and looks like it freezes before windows animation.

  If I try to use 1 x 4 GB (two speeds) and 1 x 2 GB, then Windows starts fine, but there is a problem when I use both the 4 GB sticks.

  I tested the ram with Memtest and they pass the tests.

  If I put the bars of 4 GB of RAM in a R840 (Windows 8.1 Pro), it starts very well.
  If I put the bars of 4 GB of RAM in a R700 (i5 running Windows 8.1 Pro), this also starts very well.

  If I try to put in the sticks of 2 x 4 GB of ram in the R700 i3 and trying to install Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 then happens to the screen that says "Windows is loading files" and the progress bar ends but then the screen goes all white and the fan runs but nothing else happens.

  I have 8 GB of ram in the R700 i3, so I don't know that it supports. The BIOS detects it has 8 GB of ram when I inserted them and the BIOS is updated to the latest version which is 2.20 iirc.

  Anyone can shed light on the problem?

  Hi Borito

  If the specification states that your model of laptop can handle with 8 GB of RAM, that we should not discuss this topic.
  By RAM upgrade is important to use 100% compatible and two modules of identical RAM (same specifications).
  I tested it on my machine using too much standard and a cheap RAM and my machine was dead. With two modules of identical RAM, everything is OK.

  Can you please send the name of the exact model of your laptop Portege (R700-xxx) and I'll try to find the exact reference for 4 GB of RAM for this model of laptop.

• Portege R700 - quick as lightning!

  Despite some reports of 'flaky' and similar operation, I decided to tear off my HARD drive and slap a SSD and W7 Pro 64 bit on my portege R700-184

  flippin heck its the thing to the top fast!

  I used a base of sandforce OCZ Vertex 2 120 GB drive and the Retail Media to install the 64-bit windows. It's with any other firmware or software update for the SSD or Laptop, so right on the box

  Before starting from cold to 95 seconds, down to 23 seconds on the SSD used! and he wakes up from his sleep in 4 seconds! VERY impressed!

  Similarly the 64-bit operating system has improved my WEI scores the CPU is 6.5 to 6.9, the RAM of 5.4 to 5.9 and obviously the SSD took a hard drive of 5.9 to a burning 7.4 :-)

  excellent upgrade in the embryonic stages, I will present long-term stable after that I have all my drivers and running upward and restore my files!
