Qosmio F10 - noisy fan & replacement

My Qosmio F10 comes up to 3 years & cooling fan now sounds a bit like an angle with a grinder knocked on the landing when it starts. Now this laptop has had 3 years of intensive use & abuse, sometimes running 24-7 weeks & despite all my friends to go through the changes of motherboards (& for them 3 times) I've only had to change the battery & hard drive.

He always does everything I want it so I'm reluctant to immediately obtain a new & spend a lot of money that I don't have, if someone can tell me if its possible to change the fan myself, or at least clean up (I did several times without any problems on my Toshiba laptop not old to 6 years old several times since I found the instructions on how to disassemble it).

Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
John

Well, what to say I put t recommend disassemble the laptop because it may be damaged another aircraft or parts. This disassembly must be performed by a technician for laptop.
But the fact is that the laptop everything must be removed if you want to replace the cooling module.

Here on this website you can find an instruction how to open the cover of laptop Toshiba Qosmio F15. The F15 is very similar to the F10.

But I think that a cleaning procedure simply would work too

  • Qosmio F10 with mainboard replaced: where can I find the right drivers?

    Hello guys,.
    Toshiba service replaced it by a new one, including a geforce 6600 gpu on my F10. So, now I formatted the laptop and I want to once again return to work. But I see that there are a few different devices, such as the 6600go gpu.

    Where can I find the drivers (lan, chipset, modem.. etc..) On the toshiba web site? If I choose qosmio F10 downloads, get the drivers for the old motherboard (and the 5700 graphics card).

    Anyone know where to find the correct drivers? Thank you!

    Hello

    Check it please THIS page.

    I assume that LAN driver chipset and driver are also the same.

  • Qosmio F10-100 keyboard replacement

    I have a client with a Qosmio F10-100 which is a few months out of warranty. It has several keys that don't work at all and the removal of the key top and cleaning underneath had no effect. He wants to replace. So I have two questions;

    1. where can I get a new keyboard from?

    2. How can I remove the one to replace it?

    I am a taker, but do not have the guts for Toshiba laptop.

    Hello

    Well, I suggest to contact Toshiba service partner in your country. Here, you can order the necessary keyboard part and you can also ask a replacement procedure.
    In this case, you will be sure that you have a right and compatible keyboard to 100%. In addition, the service partner has more experience in the replacement of keyboard and it can give you a detailed instruction.

  • Qosmio F10 recover after replacing the motherboard

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my Qosmio F10 recovery. It won't boot from the CD, I get a message "media test check the cable failure".
    I tried everything I could find here on this issue without any results. Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is excatly the case.

    I got a new motherboard and CD/DVD player put some time ago.
    How can I make it work again?

    A.

    > Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is exactly the case.

    Who replaced the motherboard? THE ASP?

    Well, usually the recovery CD should work after the replacement of the motherboard.
    I presume that the parts have been replaced with exactly the same parts and so it should t be a conflict between the recovery and the new motherboard CD.

    Have you tried to boot from another bootable Win XP or Linux CD? Check it!

  • Qosmio F10 main board replacement - update of the BIOS etc.

    Hello

    I just installed a new motherboard on my F10-124.
    He was the P000415760 of PCB (part number P000454980) upgrade as the graphics card does not - again!

    Documents accompanying tell me to update the Bios, EC/KBC (parameters please) and write the new DMI. At the time where the VGA controller is not recognized, and no reader CD is listed.

    Can it be updated by myself, without having to refer to an ASP, as it is not worth the money if I do. I want to just use this as an additonal PC for my daughter.

    No doubt I should be able to update the Bios from a download or something from the toshiba support site.

    Any help appreciated.

    I found a utility to Update DMI PC Toshiba laptop Toshiba U.S. page.
    You can try this
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/downloadDetail.jsp?soID=1008299&PF=true
    But generally, this should be done by a Toshiba ASP so if the utility would not help you, you will need the assistance of a Toshiba ASP.

  • Noisy fan - fan starts 15 minutes after turning on the Qosmio F10

    My Qosmio F10 has always had a very noisy fan. The fan noise starts always 15 minutes after turning the PC on and stays of less regardless of what I do on the PC - even if this happens be nothing else!

    I tried to change the battary cooling method optimized in the toshiba saving settings in an attempt to stop the fan coming on but any change of setting seems to have no effect on the fan. I did a search on these forums and found a link to the utility fan - but the link now appears to be dead and someone somewhere else also suggested update but tv pilots who did not work or the other. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this laptop less noisy?

    It's all a bit frustrating saw I bought it to listen to music - and all you hear is the fan when the music calms down!

    Thanks in advance

    Believe me that it is not unusual that the F10 is a laptop with a high GPU and CPU. These regions produce a lot of heat and it must be cooled!

    Please don t compare mobile portable fans with the Qosmio. The Qosmio laptop properties resemble a PC and in my view a desktop PC is much stronger than the F10

  • Qosmio F10 Fan - where can I order one?

    Hello

    Anyone know how I could find the part number of the fan without microprocessor (I don't know if it's a GPU fan or what, is one of the more toward the Center on the laptop) for the Qosmio F10?

    I found the part number of the fan CPU (P000388590), but it is a different size. Also is there anywhere in the United Kingdom, I might be able to buy the new fan without having to send my laptop? I can only find sites in the United States that sell the fan from the CPU to the end user, so the same could be true of this fan.

    You have a command parts compatible Toshiba service partner in your country.
    I guess that it s also able to control the compatible fan.

  • I had problems with my Qosmio F10

    Dear friends,

    Let me share my problems with you and please help me with a solution for this.
    I have my qosmio F10 machine its over 1.5 years. It has been repaired 3 times since I bought it.

    1 (6 months after I bought it), I had a problem with my machine. ASP in Holland said that my Chipset and my V - RAM has been modified to be a new (chipset 855 PM at 915 PM & VGA card GeForce FXGo5700 to Go6600)

    2nd (6 months after the 1st repair), another problem occurred. My sound card was in trouble and was changed. It is ok.

    3rd (4 months after the 2nd repair), my system frozen. Toshiba Netherland replaced the fan and installed the new graphics processor. The spund of fan drives me crazy.

    And now, I just got a problem this morning. When I turned on my power, I did not see anything on my screen (white screen, even no happened qosmio opening graphics.) Looks like I got a same problem with my 1st. Would someone like to help me? What should I do now? Many problems has been held since the 1st repair, I'm tired this kind of problems. Could you guys help me, please?
    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I'll try to help you, but I guess it's a hardware problem and you will not be able to solve this problem without additional and service partner assistance.

    But we could try to find the fault. You should try to connect the laptop to the external display and could test whether the display will appear on the second screen.
    If this isn't the case, everything looks like a bad GPU operate probably the fault of the motherboard.

    Then contact the ASP in Holland and explain the situation as a whole.

    Good luck

  • Qosmio F10 - broken graphics card

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio F10, but unfortunately the graphics card is broken on it, if anyone knows if it can be repaired without having a new card mother 'expensive '!

    My warranty has expired at the beginning of this year so I'm worried about how much it will cost, all my personal files and data are always on it, so is it still possible to take down them with her still divided?

    I have power get sill on the machine, but nothing lights up the screen and the fan is constantly at full power.

    Hi Paul

    This is a very silly situation, I assume that you will not be able to repair the laptop without a motherboard replacement.
    Set the id of the graphics card on the mobo and it s not possible to easily remove it from the motherboard.

    If you want to save your data and files of ads please remove the laptop HARD drive and connect it to another computer via the external USB HDD controller.
    These external HDD 2.5 case are not expensive and you can buy it in every store of the computer.

  • Noisy fan with 10 Windows using Portege Z30 - B

    I have my Toshiba Portege Z-30 b for the last 7 months. He received with Windows 8 pro. installed, all played very well. I have upgraded to Windows 10 about 5 months ago, after the upgrade, the fan ran constantly at a high unacceptable noise. Toshiba service replaced the fan - no result. I have been informed by the service to install the utility 'eco' - done. No results. I was informed by the service don't upgrade to the latest version of the Bios - done, no results. The noise is there in case of station dock, here in the position "charge" and there when it is on battery. I seriously consider to sell and move to the Lenovo or Dell. Anyone has any advice?

  • Qosmio F10 is always hot

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio F10 and my problem is that the fan runs all the time because he's hot. "I am obliged" to the low and fixed frequency to solve that. But in normal mode it heats up, even if I only surf on the Web.
    What should I do?
    You have an idea?

    Hi benlog

    To my knowledge, books are of high technologies and machines of many parties in the products of the unit a lot of heat. For example: graphics chip. I put t now how you use the laptop but it is recommended to use it on the desktop. On this way, the cooling fan can work properly. Secondly, a lot of background processes running on the device. Processor must therefore operate with higher performance and produce more heat.
    Moreover, my machine is also fairly warmly.
