• Satellite A300D - fan turns very hard and the laptop gets very hot

  I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as what to do with the overheating problem that I currently have with my A300D. I had the laptop for less than a year, it is still under warranty but I don't know where to go or what to do to fix it.

  The problem: about two months ago, I noticed the fan turns very hard and also the laptop gets very hot. Now it runs so hot the laptop shuts down completely. The heat being driven out of the laptop is so hot! burn your my infact.

  Anyone has any advice they could offer me.

  Thank you

  Hi James

  You wrote that you have the laptop less than a year, so my question is this is already cleaned it?
  The laptop needs to be cleaned every 3-4 months and I do this every 3 months. Whenever I do I m wondering how much dust out and after this procedure the portable is a lot cooler.

  Here's an interesting article from Toshiba on this subject:

• Satellite A660 - Fans is very strong

  Hello

  Ive recently bought toshiba satellite a660 11 m, its great, but his fans are very noisy even when im doing nothing (zero open applications)
  When I open the toshiba pc health monitor he always says temp: 50 c on avrg and fans * always * on 68 to 70%. (now when im typing this fans are at 68% and only google chrome opens sometimes it looks like his office, no cell phone)
  Note that laptops is 3 weeks old, so I doubt there is any dust in the cooling system.
  Anyone else having this type of problem?

  Hello

  What to say... My a500 is also great noise even I tried upgrading the Bios, play with power settings, cleaning of cooling system. fan control utility like speedfan and many other things but still... I just don't pay attention to the noise of the fan. You can reduce the noise loading the Cpu with some applications so that the fan continues to constantly operate at 54% with a less noticeable noise.

• Satellite C660 - Fan throw very often

  Hello

  I use a Toshiba C660 laptop. I noticed, this fan run very frequently (the temperature is 45-52 c). I tried to change "Toshiba Power Saver Settings V8.9.4.64" "Battery optimized" in 'advanced power settings', but that didn't help. I updated my BIOS to version 1.80, but he did ' help, too. When will be the new BIOS for this model?

  Hello

  Please don t understand me wrong but acitivy fan will be controlled automatically and is based on the CPU temperature. Still, the fan will start if the CPU is running on a high temperature to protect the equipment. So it of normal.

  What you can do after a few months is the cleaning of cooling as described here:

• A100-692 left side fan works very often

  Hello

  I just bought a Satellite A100-692 with a processor intel Core Duo T2050 processor with and an ATI Radeon X 1400 graphics card. I am quite surprised how often works the fan on the left side. Sometimes it works even when the system is idle or I'm just surfing the web.

  Anyone have an idea why this is and how the problem can be solved probably? I already changed the settings of the energy-saving and of the settings (Powerplay) of ATI Catalyst Control Center.

  I'd be really grateful for your responses.

  Christian

  Hello Christian

  I know it's very annoying, but it is not a problem you have described. If you see other notebooks of other producers of the same situation there. New laptops are really powerful if compared to previous models.

  To increase the performance has a downside to produce more heat. If you check this forum, you will find a lot of discussion on the similar theme.

  Good bye

• Tecra A3-145: cooling fan works very often

  Hello.
  I have a Tecra A3-145 I just bought. During regular browsing that fan comes on about every 15 seconds and remains on for about 30 seconds. Is this normal, especially for just browsing?

  Thanks for your help :)
  Dan

  Hi Dan,.

  The ventilation system on my functions very similar to the one on your Tecra SA30. Fans usually starts in a second or two of the system being initialized and will be off until I have started using the system. Navigation Internet will usually cause fans run slowly at first, but any increase in activity such as downloading, or any use of the activex will cause fans to step up in speed.

  Any use of busy graphics will cause fans to operate intensively, that will be burning CD/DVDs or video rendering.

  It doesn't seem to me as if your Tecra is bad conduct. As stated in the previous post, make sure that the appliance is well ventilated.

  Kind regards

• Cooling M30X-125 fan turns very often if the USB device is connected

  Hello
  I used USB devices with my M30X-125 during a few months and noticed that as soon as I connect a USB mouse or printer with external power supply power supply cooling fan works very often. With no device USB cooling fan is very "calm".
  I've updated the BIOS with the latest 1.90 out and changed its settings (reduce the processor speed) of the effect of Utility.No of power on this fan cooling issue management.
  Can you help me please in order to limit the work with the connected USB device cooling fan?

  Hello Phil

  I put t really believe that there are many options to do better. Of course if you use a USB device, the CPU usage goes over the limit of use and produce more heat.

  Try to check all the processes running and finish a useless manually.

• Qosmio F50 - the fan works more often?

  Hello

  I installed the display driver Windows 7 32 bit in 32 bit Vista and it worked almost fine except that the fan works for shorter time compared to when Vista 32-bit driver is installed.

  Is there a way to make the fan work more often or always while aware that the driver 32-bit Windows 7 is much better, but increases the temperature of the laptop?

  Thank you

  Hey

  The activity of the fan will be controlled automatically and there is no value that you can change. All you can do is to change the cooling method in Windows power management. For each level of power, you can change between maximum performance and battery optimized. If you choose a maximum performance of the activity of the fan will be higher.

  But not don t. Important worry is that you have installed the Toshiba display driver and if your laptop overheats it would must down to protect the equipment.

• Satellite A660 - fan 90% on battery optimized mode

  Hi all my dear users of Toshiba that I really respect because they use such great brand Toshiba. I hope you have the time to read my problem and that its length can not bother you and you can do me favor and answer me.
  I am from Egypt and I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite A660 - 17M. It is really a great device and I've updated the BIOS twice on the official website of Toshiba and now I have the 2.00 BIOS os independent.

  My problem now is that the fan cooling and here's what happens with me. When I adjust method in the Toshiba cooling ensures peak performance so that the temp is between 36 to 63% and the fan speed is 52 to 75% and it takes a lot of time turns off because it is not easy to reach the beach of temp which makes it either stops when I'm inactive or work.

  The largest part of the problem is that when I change the method of cooling battery optimized mode everything working the fan going to 90% and rest, so never or up to this I put the laptop before in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 minutes. Then it is cool and it stops. So in the meantime either inactive or work done, it jumps again to 90%. When I turned off my laptop and wait to be completely cooled, then turn it on while in battery optimized mode the fan starts working during start-up only stops until Windows starts completely then it climbs to 90% and remaining so ever except when I force him to be cool by placing it in front of the fridge.

  My friends, I think that it is not logical to always work in conditions of refrigerator and also it is illogical to have fan always 90% especially that I'm on battery optimized mode.

  What is the problem in your opinion, and if someone has the same laptop can help and describe what is happening with him also. I do not remember if these events are produced before BIOS set to day or not as I they weren't in my mind before BIOS update and I don t know whether or not this happens also before the BIOS update.

  From what I understand, is that the battery optimized mode fan running weaker than the maximum performance mode. Then what's happening and if you say he remains silent until this than complete Windows starts and runs then 90% to compensate for the accumulated heat, I agree with you, but shouldn't t happen to some extend then stops at the battery life optimized according to the name of the battery optimized mode.

  Really I am so disappointed and now know what the problem is. Please help and don t advise me to call Toshiba. Whatever they say please send us the laptop. I m waiting for your responses and thanks a lot for the time spent reading my message.

  Hey,.

  Normally if you use the battery mode optimized for the method of cooling the fan will run less maximum performance. So your laptop will work more silent, but with a higher temperature but usually you don't notice it.

  So if this happened only since the update of the BIOS is you load the default settings in the BIOS after update? Go to the BIOS Setup and press F9 to load the default values. Then save & exit the BIOS Setup.

  I would be also interesting to know what operating system you are using. What is the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or your own installation?

  The fan should be cleaned from time to time using a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. This can also help improve the cooling. An accurate and interesting article on cleaning the notebook, you can find here:

• Satellite A200 - fan works too

  Hello

  I will present my problem briefly to you in the hope that I can find a solution.

  I work with recording music. My Satellite A200 can handle the processor high and all the rest. I'm really very happy.

  But the fan works just too well even when CPU is not used much. I installed The Ultimate Troubleshooter (excellent software) in order to eliminate unnecessary software or process. My RAM is 73% free, low 0-10% CPU and my fan speed is measured at 47 degrees Celsius. My hard drive is 33 degrees Celsius. Very low.

  The boring bit, is that my fan is behaving intermittently, but even when nothing is really happening, and the temperature is still very low. I have another laptop to compare to, which is quiet and peaceful in the other corner of the room and only takes action when I activate several operations at once. I wish my Satellite to behave in a similar way.

  I cleaned the fans today, and a lot of dust came out. But still the fan curve. I tried to take control using SpeedFan 4.43, but it does not work. I don't see anywhere in the BIOS how I could control the speed of the fan.

  I need to find a solution, ideally one that doesn't involve buying a new fan, or disassemble the computer. Since the temperature is right at all times, I guess it's just the BIOS programming for constant speed activity that must change. Any suggestions? It would be appreciated.

  All the best, Shlomi.

  Hi shlumaan_1,

  > I cleaned the fans today
  How did you do that? Did you follow the instructions?
  How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system?

  There are different reasons for activity high fan and dust that blocks the fan, the thermal paste should be renewed, etc..

  Fact is that the fan will be controlled automatically to protect the equipment from overheating. What you can do is chancing the cooling method in Windows power management. I put t know what operating system you use but on Vista and Windows 7, open the power management options, change the parameters of the plan, cooling method. You can change between maximum performance and battery optimized. I would recommend setting the optimised battery.

  Also, check the BIOS version. If you have an older version, probably thermal management has been changed with a new version of the BIOS. Update the BIOS that you find on the official website of Toshiba.

  Finally, and especially if your laptop probably has a few years, that the thermal compound must be renewed. This is why I would contact an authorized service provider that will apply the correct thermal grease and also the laptop must be disassembled. Not so easy

• Satellite A660 - display problems, very dark display

  Hello

  I'm at the end of help please.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 PSAW3A-07P00R.

  recently, it has been very, very dark display on the screen, almost impossible to see.
  I tried the following the problem solved.

  1. set the brightness to the MAX in the operating system, power management, etc.
  2 reset the BIOS to default settings.
  3. set the brightness to the MAX on the laptop brightness settings.
  4. check the external display via a VGA cable. tested ok.
  5. I bought a new LED 16 "screen but the new screen has the same problems. If I understand correctly, LED screens (1 data cable video on the bottom of the screen to connect to the motherboard) have the "inverter" built into the display, so appears not to be a problem of map display, brightness or graphics. I would be fair to assume that this is related to the data cable from the screen? If Yes, is a piece that can come from Toshiba? or something easily fixable?

  is there something easy, I missed, or something I have not tried?
  has anyone else experienced this problem and solved?

  Thank you in advance.

  > I would be fair to assume that this is related to the data cable from the screen? If Yes, is a piece that can come from Toshiba? or something easily fixable?

  As much as I know there is no FL inverter then, or you can override the display or the cable (LCD/FL)
  LVDS cable) with a new one and the test shows again.
  I found a compatible: K000103140 LVDS CABLE

• Satellite A660 - fan always to the strong

  Hi all

  I bought the Satellite A660-10 days and I love it so far.
  The only problem I have is the fan noise. It is always on 53% of speed even when I do not do anything.
  I wonder if this is normal because I have only an i3 with intel.

  Thank you!

  Please open the power plan you use and go into the advanced settings. Under open Toshiba option method of cooling energy saving, and then assign the value at a minimum. It should reduce the activity of fan and your laptop runs much quieter.

  I also recommend you to use the balanced power plan.
