• Satellite R630-155 - fan is too loud and SSD update

  I am the owner of a Toshiba Satellite R630-155 (Core i5-480). My problems are:

  1. the fan is too loud and never stops. In normal operation (navigation and General Office work) there is a constant high pitch noise which is audible three to four meters in a desktop - high load environment, you just can't take it anymore! The fan never stops... even when you do nothing...

  2. the heat is a big problem. The bottom of the laptop is overheated constantly and I have to place on my desk so that the lower left corner is outside the table, so it can breathe fresh air from below - otherwise, the temperature rises and the (noisy) fan is unable to follow. When I work with the laptop sitting on a couch, I place a thick book between the laptop and my legs. The book must be thick (more than one inch) with hard covers, otherwise the heat going through the book!

  3. last (but not least, I will mention the biggest problems here) that's the problem with the installation of the SSD. I bought a used Corsair F80 (80 GB SSD) from a friend, but I was unable to use it with the Toshiba - BIOS not detect the disc. I tried to install all the latest updates for portable and SSDS but I had no success. Then I put the disc and I bought a brand new Zalman 128 GB SSD (SSD0128N1 Sandforce) but I had exactly the same problem. I contacted my local support Toshiba and after much conversation, the only answer I got is that the laptop is not compatible with these SSDS, and it is acceptable by Toshiba and not their problem. They told me that if I need an SSD upgrade I cannot go for the Toshiba SSD that is installed on the portege series, which is sold by Toshiba for a ridiculously expensive price - about $500 for 128 GB. I contacted the European support center and I got the same exact answer. I searched the Internet and found someone else with exactly the same problem with a Corsair 128 GB SSD - he concluded that the laptop detects the SSD after ten to twenty resets. I tried and it was true - after a lot of restarts the detected disk Zalman laptop and I was able to successfully install Windows 7, but the process is unacceptable. Also the drive is rated by the sites official at the speed of an OCZ Vertex 2 128 GB (and a little better), but when I ran a cue point in the Toshiba, the results I got were less than half of the advertised speed. Same reference in another machine of the same disc, resulted in the announced speeds.

  Shame for Toshiba...-beautiful design and portability, but all the rest is a big flaw. Their support in non-existent and they do not appreciate their customers. According to me, they stole my money and I will never buy a Toshiba laptop again.

  Sorry for the big message, but I need, I warn potential customers. Can anyone help me with any of these problems? You also have the same problems?

  To follow...

  Hey Buddy,

  With regard to the issue of fan and the heat: you did it BIOS update? A friend told Satellite R630 too and he told me that the fan with the new BIOS version 2.10 activity is reduced. In addition, the laptop is colder than before so I recommend to install this update. You can download the update of the BIOS here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  But before you start the update of the BIOS, you should consider the following tips:
  -Run update as an administrator only
  -Unzip all files from zip archive before launching the update file
  -Close all running programs as the antivirus and firewall
  -Make sure the battery is fully charged

  With regard to the SSD it s still a little complicated to install 3rd party products and no one can guarantee that these parts would not work. You're always on the side safely with original spare parts from Toshiba.

  All you can do is to install the new firmware for SSDS and hope that it works, but who knows maybe the BIOS update will help you also in this case ;)

• Satellite P500/024 - Eco button & HARD drive Protection feature

  Hi guys,.

  I did a clean install of windows 7 64 bit on my laptop, when I put the drivers on I got a system restore on reboot after installing the HDD protection (I went through 2 restorations to this functioned as the problem) the eco button worked on both of these first attempts.

  I now work properly but the Eco button refuses to work now, I've tried several times to uninstall and reinstall, but without any result
  When I select the actual program eco mode it works and brings the button 'eco', as it must also goes off to do likewise.

  When I push the button on the keyboard eco everything get if the beep and it flashes briefly on the screen of the laptop.
  I also left the protection of the HARD drive, no matter what you have any suggestions on the foregoing?

  See you soon

  Hey Buddy,

  To be honest your ad is a little difficult to understand, but about the Eco button, the page of Toshiba Eco utility do you have installed? It is necessary to use the Eco button.
  Also the value-added package must also be installed. It contains Toshiba components common driver which is necessary to make the other Toshiba programs work.

  Why did you do a clean install of Windows 7? What about the factory settings? I mean the version preinstalled Windows with all the drivers and tools. Can you confirm that he of working with these settings?

• Where to buy parts for Satellite R630-155?

  Back to Christmas, I stupidly pulled my lap top on the floor to break the case and the hard drive.

  I got the case and the hard drive replaced with a local pc due to recommendations repair company.
  Unfortunately my confidence was misplaced and 5 months I still do not have a decent wifi pick up and I also discovered that the camera more light built into the front of the screen of the cover is missing.
  I've been to the repairman but seems empty and not joy.

  I know that to take a glance that it is has taken a multi white plastic for at least the camera
  So nobody knows where can I buy spare parts if all goes well for the missing camera and light and the Wifi component.

  At the moment I am hated to part with the R630 because it proved invaluable when traveling because it is light and before Christmas 2012 ideal to pick up wifi signals in hotels and cruise ships.

  Secondly, I am in September who travel outside China, hong kong, Japan, Singapore &

  Can anyone recommend a modern equivalent not so expensive for the Satellite R630 I can search and buy?

  I look around before repairs and might find something equivalent on £1,800.

  Hope someone can help
  Thank you very much

  It is very difficult to find these parts for laptops, especially for new models of portable computers.
  Best place to get these things is Toshiba authorized provider. They can order these parts but I don't know if they'll sell it for you or they only order it if they can repair your laptop.

  You can try to contact ASP and ask for help. Addresses and phone numbers, you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

  It is not easy to give you some good advice on other phones but I think for the trip and extremely mobile use series Z Satellite can be very good alternative for you.

  Check the Toshiba website for your country a little and pick up some info on equipment and the price of course.

• Satellite R630-155 - no express card slot

  Hello

  I have a R630 155 and I have a PC card / Express card slot as far as I know. Toshiba manual shows that it would be just below the optical drive [cd] on the right side of the laptop, but I do not have such a slot. Anyone know if it is possible to run a 'real' serial port using the usb ports. I have hardware installed on the field that requires a real serial port and will not work with normal cable converter usb to serial port that can be purchased. I have an another Toshiba that I use the pc card slot and I did not notice that the new laptop does not seem to have this facility. Maybe someone can help / advise?

  Best regards, peter jones.

  Hi Peter,.

  Ist point R630 hat not all models are equipped with a PC card and express card slot. As you can read in the manual that only some models are fitted with this slot machine.

  On Amazon and other online shopping, I found a few USB-adapters series so I think that this should be the correct part for you but I n t understand what you mean with real serial port.

  In your case I would just test it and if it doesn't work, you can send it back ;)

• Satellite A500 - 14Q: ECO button no longer works

  Hello

  I have a little problem with my A500. When I press the 'ECO' button to switch to eco mode and run the Toshiba Eco Utility, I can hear a "beep", but absolutely nothing happens.

  I think I know where is the problem and how to solve it, but I need some information.
  When everything was ok, I ran the Toshiba Assist (for another problem of fan) and I found an icon caled "supported of the TOSHIBA buttons" I translate by "TOSHIBA button support" or "Settings button". Then, for no change, I clicked on "cancel registration" or "cancel parameters", but he did in fact clear the previous settings that have been factory settings...

  Since then (or unfortunately), my 'ECO' key does not work...
  I said that when I "manually" switch eco mode, the button becomes green anyway.

  I want to find is the "TOSHIBA button support" original settings But if you have some other suggestions to solve my problem of button I am listening to you.

  Thank you and sorry for my bad English (again)

  I do not have the A500, but if you want to have default settings best for you is to remove preinstalled value added Package, restart your computer and install the latest version of the Toshiba support page.

  After doing this, you should again have the default settings.
  Test it. You can't do anything wrong.

• iPhone bluetooth to Satellite R630-155

  I anticipate tethering via bluetooth to the above newly purchased, but the iPhone says that Tosh is a device not supported. I find this hard to believe, and if someone can help?

  I understand that it is also possible to connect via USB, but I prefer to do it this way.

  Thank you MN

  >... but the iPhone says that Tosh is a device not supported
  How to understand this?

  I fear here is simply one of the explanations for m: your R630-155 has no feature of BT and you cannot use BT connection between your devices.
  At the end you use the USB connection.

• S50 satellite - B - 14 M - button and function keys switch F

  So, I posted this a few days ago on plateau "Tools & Utilities", but did not answers, then maybe I should be more patient. But, since this forum seems to be a little more active, I thought I would try it here as well. Who knows, maybe some people with a Satellite S have experienced the same thing!

  I looked for an answer on google and this forum for days, but were not able to find something useful (especially in combination with 'windows 10', I have no idea if install had no effect in the present).

  I installed Windows 10 last week, and I don't know if it's the 'problem' at the start, but since yesterday I've been aware of the fact that the 'modus special function"F - keys (i.e. the function in which you don'thave to store the function key to access the special functions under the (former) F keys) no longer works.

  I have already tried:
  -My system restarts
  -Control Panel > keyboard > function key modus (but which has been defined correctly!).
  -Tried any combination of Fn with any other possible key.

  So I don't know what the problem is. It might have something to do with the $ 10 Windows?

  Details:
  Toshiba Satellite S50 - B - 14 M
  Pre-installed with Windows 8.1, upgraded to Windows 10 Home last Tuesday

  Thanks to anyone who can help me!

  I solved it myself! Turns out I just needed another obvious solution: reinstall the utility function of key driver.

  Well done!

  Thanks for sharing the solution with us!

• Satellite C660 - two USB Ports without function (bad connection)

  Hello, sorry for the worst English.
  Historically, the touchpad of my Satellite C660-220 used without operation, worked with a mouse of radio. Now, two usb ports can only be used under certain conditions. Can I replace the connections for this part (motherboard / motherboard) for example, a computer used toshiba laptop? Where can I read, one of which models the parts required are the same as well?

  Best regards from the Germany

  Bert

  Hi Bert

  I guess for you that it is quite simple. Problem is that this repair is not supported, and all we can try it on its own, including all the risks of damaging something.
  > Where can I read, one of which models the parts required are the same as well?
  This kind of document is not and if it has information that is not for public use, but for only authorized services.

  Theoretically, you can find the same mainboard with damage CPU or GPU and use parts from there.
  Believe me it is not easy to give you some good advice on this subject.
  Out of curiosity, but you have some experience with these things?

• Re: Satellite R630-155 - part number for the LCD cover

  My 3 year old belle has hit my R630 on the floor and the plastic LCD casing/lid is now broken. Hinges are fine, the screen is fine - I just need to replace the plastic cover. How find the part number or get a new one?

  Thank you.

  Hey,.

  Here you can get t numbers because it s a forum for owners of Toshiba laptop only. If you can speak with normal people like you and me here.

  If you need these technical details such as part numbers, you will need to contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys have access to databases of Toshiba and can give you the exact reference and order this part too.

  Good luck! :)

• Re: Satellite R630 cell phone recharged by himself several times during the installation

  Hello

  I own a laptop Satellite R630 155. I just recover my machine with the procedure for recovery of HARD drive, and in the last step of the installation from the progress bar indicated there are 54 items to install. After every 2-5 elements installed my laptop recharged by itself several times until all of the 54 have been made.

  Is this normal? I expected everything to be installed only once before a reboot was done.

  Yes, it's normal. The same thing happen on my Satellite A660.

  You must understand that nearly 60 different drivers, tools and utilities must be installed and some of them need installation restart and finished mobile.
  If you have installed the OS and drivers manually, you must know this notebook or PC restart after some driver installation must be made.

  I know, it's a bit boring and facilities for all take a lot of time, but... This is normal.

• Satellite M645-6114 - ECO utility/media buttons not working not

  My toshiba satellite M645-6114 is about a month.
  Yesterday, I realized that the media buttons is no longer give me a symbol on the screen when I disable or turn off the wifi.

  In addition, the place of the arrow button no longer turns the lights on the laptop.
  Finally I can't open the eco utility at all.

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  Hello
  The media keys (play, pause, eco button) are controlled by VAP (value added package). In addition to use the ECO button, the ECO utility must be installed.

  In addition the FN keys are controlled by Flash Card Utility Support and this tool seems not work so first check if you can solve this activation/restart tool, you can do it in all programs-> Toshiba-> Flash Cards

  If this does not work, reinstall the mentioned tools Note: after each installation, reboot the device!
