Power cooling module: has it gone bad?

I have an old PS4000 which is long out of warranty and I'm trying to decide or not to unassign or re - purpose, but lately, I've been making the mistakes related to the cooling module power once a week.  The error indicates, "Power cooling module 0 is off or not getting any power.  When I log in and check the status of the appliance, all this indicates OK.  I can not any assistance from the Dell Technical Support because it is out of warranty, so I'll try to understand if there are troubleshooting steps I can take to determine whether or not the power module should be replaced in order to get the price and see if it is useful to replace the module or the whole scrap.  Thanks in advance.

Hello

PCM is part of the diet, so the entire power supply should be replaced.   Most likely, you will need to find a unit that is used/given to nine.  I don't think that you can always by these Dell and more.

What firmware is running this table?   Firmware might be very old.

Kind regards

Don

  • Cooling module often works on Satellite M100-126

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my new computer. It works well, BUT the fan works when the core temperature is about 34 ° C and stops when it comes down to about 30 ° C.

    If the fan works and stops quite often especially when I just use Word. So it's a bit noisy and I did not fund any solution to this problem. I tried all the possibilities with the Toshiba energy device but it is always the same.

    I would like to have a permanent fan running no stop and go. Do you think that I would have a better result if I update the Bios?

    Thant you for help me.

    Hi Pierre

    I think that there are not many things to do
    Is the BIOS to control the fans.
    The fan table that includes different levels of temperature is stored in the BIOS and this table fan tells how and when the cooling module has to move on.

    > would like to have a permanent fan without stop and go operation. Do you think that I would have a better result if I update the Bios?
    I understand you very well, but the update to the BIOS would only change this situation, if the table fan would change too. You can try to update the BIOS but I put t think that the table fan has been changed in the new version.

  • Qosmio X 870 has been repaired 3 times - VGA cooling module, 3D,.

    I purchased a Qosmio X 870 there's a little more than 12 months (December 2012) and on July 9, 2013 it was returned to Toshiba after I am home and turned the smoke machine find coming from the front right side of the machine. (* service report stating they replaced the VGA card *)

    I also previously say that the computer would be go to a purplish monochrome screen then independently turn black to try different drivers again, I could not solve this intermittent and would return to this issue.

    After I got the back of the machine 3D wouldn't work.
    Yet once on November 6, 2013, I sent the laptop for repairs. Yes I know it was a while before I returned, but I do not very often use 3D and wanted that it fixed before Toshibas 12 months guaranteed missed.
    Once more, I received the machine backward (service indicated the 3D cable was replaced and tested ok.)

    November 22, 2013 I turned on the machine and not 30 seconds after startup, a message came on the screen indicating that _ * there is a problem with the cooling system please return the Toshiba computer for repair.*_

    I fear that the machine was not tested before its release Toshiba

    I understand you very well.
    It s always annoyed if the laptop starts to malfunction

    It seems that the first fault was linked to the faulty GPU. Well, in this case only a GPU replacement can help solve the problem.

    I think that the second question (malfunction 3D) was related to the first question (replacement of the GPU).
    I guess that after the replacement of the GPU, the technician forgot to calibrate the 3D sensor.

    However, the number 3 (cooling system) may be just a false alert.
    Check if the temperature. If the temperature is OK (not too high), it might be
    I would recommend you to get the laptop to factory settings just to check if the message still appears.

    But in the event that this alert appears again, the cooling module must be replaced.

  • Qosmio G20 error message: problem with the cooling system has been detected

    I'm trying to fix a Qosmio G20 (which is about 3 years old, it is no longer in warranty).

    Error message: Warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected.

    I managed to remove the outer case and observe the operation of the machine, and basically one of the fans does not at all. The fan which is closest to the power connector seems to work very well (he seems to be turning a lot, do not know if this is normal), but the other fan who does not seem to move at all.

    When I put in place the case and on the machine, I noticed after a few minutes the vent of the fan working heat sink had warm enough, while led the non-working fan remained cool.

    I cleaned the fan from dust and have also changed the BIOS battery mode mode high performance, but the problem still exists.

    I would be grateful if someone could give advice if the problem is the fan or something else.

    If the fan is the problem, where I can buy a: i live in the United Kingdom?

    Hello

    I think there might be something wrong with the cooling module and the replacement would be necessary.
    Usually, this should be done by an authorized provider (ASP) in your country.

    Technicians could replace it with a new part and also could renew the thermal grease which is placed between the module and the CPU cooling.

    So contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

    By the way; also, you can buy the cooling of the ASP module!

    Good luck

    Before you continue just a matter of discussion:
    Let's say I help you with this and damage you something or broke a plastic part, what you will do in this case?
    I mean you probably know that you can get a few small important parts as separate components.

    By the way: this description may be provided in the manual. Disassembly of the laptop is authorized personal only. When you buy a new car it is no description how to disassemble the entire engine, right?

    By the way: Jeanine's right. See this page. There are many useful tips on laptop disassembly procedure.

  • Satellite C660D - a problem with the cooling system has been detected

    My laptop is a * Toshiba Satellite C660D-11th * and I have a message that keeps coming up every once in a while 'alert system' head and reads as follows: "WARNING: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." (Next line) Please, turn off computer immediately and return it for service. »

    I had this warning for the coming weeks and it tolerated, but it worsened and annoyed me for the last time. I can hear the fan and the computer is not over heating (the CPUCool freeware tool detects a 51º CPU temprature C). No further questions arise as the computer slows down, it is right in the path of what I do, like typing right now.

    I tried to solve the problem by changing the "Power Options" in the control panel of Windows 7 'High Performance', and then selected under the 'battery' both 'Sector' columns, 'Never' for the parameter "put the computer to sleep. It seems to work, and no error message has occurred since then. However, this is not a solution...

    Please help quickly, this prevents me from working and even other things now.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Usually, this message would appear if something is not wrong with the cooling system. But I read here in the forum that maybe it's a bug of software and after new system recovery this message should no longer appear.

    But if you notice some upper temperature or abnormal noises, then I recommend to check this with a service technician

  • Tecra A2 - what is the difference between the cooling modules Tecra A8?

    Hello

    I have Tecra A2 and my fan is almost 'dead '. So I think to buy a new one.

    And here my question:
    "What are the differences between Fans (P000401740) A2 and A8 (P000463770) for example?"

    Because despite the construction of the "rotor" as well as details of construction of the case they seem to be exactly the same.
    If I buy this A8, it would work with my laptop?

    Kind regards
    Christopher

    Hello

    I m not very well what s the difference between these two modules of cooling but the fact is that the motherboards are just different and I doubt that a cooling module that was not designed specifically for the Tecra A2 series would correspond with A2 motherboard and case.

    That's why I recommend buying a cooling module which has been designed especially for this series!
    I think you can order the Toshiba ASP.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L505-10N - strong cooling modules while gaming

    Hello

    5 days ago, I bought a Toshiba Satellite mainly to play world of Warcraft and do some normal tasks.
    The seller told me that this computer has been authorized to install the game on and it would be more correct to support.

    As he says, playing on my new Satellite is a real pleasure, the game didn't lag at all and the graphics are beautiful... but the big problem is the breakdown that works loudly... all the time... and the computer heats very quickly...

    Then I brought my computer to the seller who says that noise is normal and could not do anything about it.

    I'm worried about this, this breakdown works abnormally, I never heard such a big noise on my other laptops, and it makes me think that this computer won't last long...

    Is there a solution for this problem? Maybe I can change the ventilation for an another silenter? For sure, the seller will not help me...

    Thanks a lot for your answers

    Hello

    May I ask how you plan a game?
    The laptop should be just like using a desktop application or like surfing the internet?

    List man than the parts of s to laptop as CPU or GPU run with a yield maximum everything at stake. This means that the heat dissipation is very high.
    This means that the cooling modules must run at max and also temperatures would rise to a higher level.

    Have you noticed how strong desktop PC cooling modules are?
    The noise of the laptop is nothing compared to the desktop PC!

  • Satellite A80-154 - cooling module very hard

    Hello

    Since a few days, my A80-154 laptop cooling unit is very strong from time to time.
    It is a gurgling noise, which, well, doesn't sound like a cooler should sound.

    It occurs mainly when I turn on my computer.
    My computer is about 2 years old.

    Is there someone who has the same problem? Or even someone who can tell me how to solve this problem?

    Best regards

    Hello

    In my opinion, there are two possible reasons why buzz comes from the cooling module.

    (1) the cooling module is clogged and dust and debris to prevent courteous race fans
    (2) the malfunctioning of the cooling module and must be replaced

    Well, in both cases, the laptop must be disassembled to check what's exactly wrong.
    I see that you are a beginner and I wouldn't recommend open Notepad by yourself.

    Ask a technician for laptop to help him avoid further damage of laptop!
