• Can satellite C655 - I use a vacuum cleaner to clean the fans?

  Hello-

  I have a Satellite C655 I bought and a year and a half ago. In recent days the fan was shot in a lot more than usual. I hear the fan or fan on the left - the quietest, one on the right is always quite calm and on.

  I'm not under any big programs - that the internet or Word, but it happened on all 30 seconds or more and can sometimes slow down the computer and the little blue circle in Word 7 will begin to turn around.

  I hope it's the fan should be cleaned and I have no intention to remove anything to try it myself. I use the computer for work, so I need all the time and would have to do some schedules to have a tech guy staples or Best Buy Geeks do it for me.

  Can I use a vacuum cleaner on the vent below and next to remove all the dust - this would help or am I asking for trouble? Is it possible to clean the fan without pulling off the cover/keyboard?

  Of course, any help is appreciated. It's my first post so if you need additional information, please let me know. Thank you very much.

  Your only way to get pure is using vacuum or compressed air and blow out the dust.
  If the laptop must be cleaned on professional way, it must be dismantled. It is the only way to get full access to all modules of cooling. Please this should be done by authorized only service.

  In any case, try with the vacuum.

  You have disconnected the display while you cleaned up the laptop?
  Are you sure that the display is connected correctly?
  Check the cable?

  > The laptop shows that read the hard drive and the processor works well.
  How do you know that? Flashing LED HDD?
  You know, it's not easy to say what may be the problem.

  You can also try testing with external monitor.

  That's what I want to do, remove the fan so that I can clean, but I don't want to take the laptop of any part is it possible that I can just take the fan out alone? I do not trust my self to disassemble everything. Any suggestion would be greately appreciated.

  Not the laptop is built with a tight specs is not so easy to simply remove the fan. To access the fan requires a complete dissembly of the laptop to get to the fan.

  Clean the fan of the laptop and repasting once a year would be nice, or if the computer is heating upward than normal.

  There are a lot of application that monitors CPU and GPU temperature,

  If you want to refresh the thermal paste / rebonding of your laptop, that's what we normally use

• How do I open the case of the laptop HP G60 418 CA to clean the fans

  I want to open the back of my laptop to carefully clean the fans. I have very little knowledge technology and so do not know what screws to leave or take away. How can I do this and I put my laptop at any kind of risk? Is there a chance I could lose all files, programs, or settings saved?

  If you don't mind not wonder, why do you need to disassemble your laptop to clean the fans.  Just get compressed air boxes and fans of spray.

  As directed by your statement ""I have very little knowledge technology and therefore don't know what screws to leave or take.".  That being the case, you can lose more than just files, you could ruin the equipment among other things.  If you really want to risk it and open your laptop, let me know.

• Equium A60-155: how to clean the fan?

  This isn't a problem as such, more than one request. How do you clean the fan? A litle while ago my laptop kept turning off itself, and it turned out to be part of the problem I the fan was clogged so I was wondering if anyone knew how to clean so I can myself sorting in case it happens again. Thanx

  Hi Jemma,

  The problem is that dust is sucked into the fans and is then trapped in the radiator CPU effectively blocks.

  A good way os compensation this accumulation of dust is to use a hose of vacuum cleaner against the aspiration air grills so that dust is sucked in. Just put the hose against the grids of aspiration air for a few seconds and block any gaps around the pipe with a cloth.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on the Toshiba start screen after BIOS update

  Hello.

  Yesterday, I made an update of the BIOS on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E 03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 624 & langua ge = 17 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = userMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguag e = 17 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 58477 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42

  BIOS - 20070709111839.zip

  After flashing, the machine restarted automatically, but unfortunately it keeps now suspended from Thoshiba welcome screen. Also by pressing F2 or F12 will not change anything. It seems that the BIOS is damaged.

  I saw that in the BIOS package are delivered the two files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom) flash. But just the execution of the BIOS590MP.exe SanAntonion10 a .vbs script starts decides which automatically selects and loads a flash file. Maybe she chose the wrong?

  What should I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my laptop?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  sounds are really serious. Unfortunately, I can just give you the only clue you will get with each user here in the forum:

  Find the nearest authorized service partner (you can find one by using this link: http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp)
  and bring your machine. In addition, you must explain the guys what happened so they can do something for you.

  Good luck buddy
