Qosmio G20 - coolant warning/error

OK, so I have not yet had problems with cooling and now today when I booted up just got this message;

"Warning system".

WARNING: A problem with the cooling system has been detected.

If please turn off immediately and return it for service. »

A soft purr escaped from the bottom left of the part of my computer, on the location of the DVD player [there is no disc in the drive]

I then reset the computer and has not yet received the message, but the soft hum was still there.

Is it possible to access this easily fan at all? He's probably just a clean place.

I REALLY don't want to have to send it even as I use the computer a LOT and he doesn't know how long the service may take.

Hello

The information provided by jmatthews are really awesome.
Qosmio G20 is one of the high-tech notebooks, and it supports various sensors that provide several messages if the laptop hardware and the operating system does not work properly.
Everything looks like cooling module malfunction

As was suggested by the fan could not turn the full implementation and is not able to cool the processor properly.

I recommend you contact the service point in your country for laptop and cooling module control.

  • Start Qosmio G20 problem

    I have laptop Qosmio G20, I got error message that my WinXP lost some system files and did not start. I tried to start Windows XP again (I lost the rescue floppy), but my Installer hunged up after 1 minute.

    I tried several other bootable disks including Linux but failed. I suspect this problem in BIOS, I downloaded the BIOS from the Toshiba site, but I have not found all the files PDF with instruction how to create bootable CDs for update of the BIOS listed on the Toshiba site.

    Maybe the problem is in CD/DVD recorder.

  • 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

    Hey,.

    THotkey file is the driver for the FN keys on your laptop. I think that it s the Toshiba Hotkey Utility that you can download on the official website of Toshiba:

    Can we get out there give me a solution to this very annoying problem, am at my wits end?

    Hi John

    From my personal experience, I know that the Qosmio G20 supports RAID functionality.
    Different RAID settings can be changed in the BIOS.

    In my opinion, you should check whether the RAID settings are on 1RAID-0 or / and RAID-1

    Sometimes the bad RAID don t parameters allow to install the operating system or cause strange error messages.

  • Qosmio G20 - left cooling fan turns noise at startup

    After installing the BIOS ver 1.3, when the laptop computer powers until the cooling fan left running so strong, I thought it might burn or smoke.
    After windows has completely turn on the fan turns off after about 5 minutes.

    If I restart the pc, the fan is operating normally.
    Has anyone else had this problem, can I might get their hands on the older version of BIOS?
    It is pulling my hair.

    Hello Anderson

    Sorry, but your ad is a bit confusing to me.

    > If I restart the pc, the fan is operating normally.
    Restart or normally power is almost the same. Updates means you have noticed this fan cooling problem once right after the BIOS?

    Please watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the behavior of cooling is always strange I recommend you contact the service.
    In the end, one thing is strange. Qosmio G20 isn't the newest model and this version of BIOS is not either yesterday, but you are the first person who has noticed this.

  • Multimedia "Video Controller" error Qosmio G20 & NO sound

    I have a brand new Qosmio G20. It has been properly installed according to list of instructions installation of Toshiba (all listed in the correct order.

    Unfortunately, whenever I start (WinXP Pro), I received a message that the system has detected new hardware. In the presentation of the material, it lists a "video-controller as" and a "PCI device" that it has not been installed correctly. I tried to solve this by downloading all kinds of latest drivers on the Toshiba site. But apparently the system is still missing some drivers, although I can't know who they should be. Also in this situation, I have no sound available. I tried to reinstall the audio driver. But at the end of the installation procedure, it says that the driver is not found and leaves the facility?

  • Qosmio G20 - restore settings factory

    Hello

    Basically I have a Qosmio G20 and here is a brief history of the problem: -.

    (1) Started to get a cooling system warning, after some time the computer turns off.
    (2) stupidly, I ignored the warning system cooling and after a few weeks the computer would start is no longer.
    (3) computer is out of warranty so it took PC World UK for diagnosis.
    (4) PC World says have found 7 viruses (which they said they removed) and said there may be a hardware failure, but they couldn't be certain until they had restored the factory settings for the computer to work properly.

    The problem with restoring the factory settings, this is even though I know that the hard drive is not actually deleted, I'm worried that he would make a few programs and inaccessible files.

    All I want to do is start the Qosmio once while I can:-

    (A) launch Mozilla Firefox and export all my favorites so that I can then load into my new laptop
    (B) export all my Outlook Express emails and loading them in the new laptop.

    With (A) above, I think the only way I can get bookmarks from Mozilla is to launch the program and then use the export option, it doesn't seem to be a way I can just scan hard drives for bookmarks setting the file and back to the top. And as for B), I did a scan of the hard drive and I found the 'dbx' Outlook Express files but when I imported in the new laptop there are a considerable number of missing emails.

    So my questions are:-

    (1) if I restore to factory settings, does this mean that Firefox and Outlook Express would more appear in my programs?
    (2) if not, can start the computer using a Windows CD, and then launch Firefox and Outlook Express directly from the hard drive?
    (3) or, if I plug the hard drive on another computer, you know the exact files (and places) so that I can get all my emails and settings of Firefox?

    Any advice would be appreciated!

    (> A) launch Mozilla Firefox and export all my favorites so that I can then load into my new laptop

    This isn't really a problem. Bookmarks could be saved on external USB flash.
    You can find the bookmarks in your profile in
    c:\Documents and Settings\ [your user name] \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    There should be a folder called bookmarkbackups.
    You will find the latest bookmarks from html files.

    Here you can find the FAQ about Firefox. Check * better

    (> B) export all my Outlook Express emails and loading them in the new laptop.
    You can save the mails too.
