Satellite A200 - no lights, no fans

Hello world

I have a toshiba satellite a200-244, and after about 15 months of use it allows to turn off his own time. I have half of heart sought the problem but could not get through to the main problem that I discovered later was dust in the cooling system.
Anyway, shortly after it to close on its own I use to reactivate it and surprisingly enough it does not as hot as she sometimes did back in the day. Yesterday, it's same thing and it would not turn on back again. No light, no fans no response at all outside of a clicking noise from the motherboard which I will explain later.
I did my homework, checked the wall brackets, power and supported adapter on the power button while the battery was out and tried to turn on the cable alone. No response.
I open the aswell of laptop down to the motherboard (unchecked the aswell of cooling system) when I connect the power cable, it makes a noise clicking which is quite fast and hardly audible. (this isn't the hard drive or any other party than anything was unplugged)
I did some research, I think the motherboard is fried, but I would like to than some entries from you guys and if that is the case, what would be the best thing to do. I've never had a problem with my computer of this before madnitude and all the other before problems have been fixed by myself.
Any estimate of $$ suggestions is appreciated.
Thank you

Undisclosed, Salvation

  • Satellite A200 - battery and a fan failure

    My Satellite A200 is a little more than a year and has not stopped the charge battery.

    While watching over portable saw fan does not no more, although no effect on performance when it is connected to the House.

    Two probs are fan cannot be hardware failure?

    And is it connected to the failure of batt?

    For me, it is not easy to say that the two issues are related somehow. You can check the functionality of fan if the laptop works on AC power only. Remove the battery and check it out.

    Also try changing the profile of power and method to see if it has any influence on the cooling fan feature.
    What about the battery? If the battery has stopped loading it may be due to the battery itself or perhaps electronic power supply on the motherboard, but if you want to have an exact answer to this the laptop must be controlled by authorized service provider?

    The warranty is still valid?

  • Satellite A200 - BIOS update and fan activity

    Hello..

    I have the Satellite A200-1AH (PSAE6E). I have installed the version of the BIOS 2.10 update and electric fans started working out loud. I want to install v1.30 BIOS (the best for me) but I can't find it anywhere. Can you help me please?

    I noticed that Toshiba has updated versions of BIOS 4 times in 4 months. So does that mean? I want to have the mobile rear silencer

    I guess the Toshiba engineers have changed some values in the new BIOS update and thereby you have noticed this problem of fan. I think they have a few reasons for this.

    If you want to have the old version of the BIOS, you should try to contact authorized service provider in your country. They should have.

  • Satellite A200 - 25 X - cooler fan does not properly

    Hello!

    The laptop made strange noises recently and would become abnormally hot, after which it stops all of a sudden yesterday. I think it could be the cooling fan. So, what would be the best plan of action now? I just bought the laptop last year in March, the guarantee should therefore always be in order, no?

    Try to clean the fan and cooling using the air pressed grid. It should be better. We know that this dust grill block and cooling specifications cannot be cooled properly.
    I do not know this that noisy hear you. Can it be linked to the cooling fan when running?

    Regarding the warranty I can't say much, because I don't know where you live. The warranty is depending on the country. If you have 2 years warranty, it must be valid.

  • Satellite A200 does not illuminate

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba satellite a200, it lights, it gives me a black screen and 1 long and 2 short beeps, the only lights that light up are the witness of load and the light of the HARD drive, what's the problem?

    I emptied the power from the motherboard and replaced the RAM.

    Well, usually its nothing unusual for the laptop to do one or two short beeps during the startup process.
    But if the laptop will beep and the system does not have a serious hardware problem may exist.

    I'm afraid there is a problem of serious motherboard and no doubt that replacing the mobo would help you to solve this problem.

    Hello Cezar

    You should clarify directly with your local dealer or the Toshiba service. I have too many Satellite A200 and my laptop is quiet enough and described it is not normal for me.

    Sorry, but to say with certainty if there is something strange or not I should have the laptop in front of me. Second issue with the battery is as strange and it is certainly the second reason to contact ASP.

  • Satellite A200 - stop the CPU cooling fan

    Hello

    I got a Satellite A200-1CK and stop my CPU cooling fan. Not that my CPU is not getting enough cooling. But when I use my laptop to school for use for OS virtualization, it heats up, and the cooler will not turn.

    The CPU cooler is broken or is it just a setting in the bios?

    Greetz,

    Hello

    You must understand that nobody does you any kind of diagnostic accuracy and if you want to have the correct answer, your laptop must be checked by a technician.

    Please check the BIOS settings, but on my A200 I can t see anything that can help.

    Nick

    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.

  • The fans are not stop working after upgrading BIOS on Satellite A200

    Hello

  • 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

    Hello

  • Re: Question on Satellite A200-1SX fan

    Hey everybody.
    I recently bought a Satellite A200-1SX and I noticed that the fan is running constantly for about 5 seconds then turns off.
    Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Is this normal? Is there a software that can help me?

    Thanks to a bouquet.

    Hi mate,

    already tried a BIOS update? It would probably help, but I can't promise you...
    To download the latest version of the BIOS on the Toshiba site just go here-> http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/home.do?service=EU&from=http%3A//www.toshiba-europe.com/

    and join the drivers download section is you just have to go to "Support and downloads"-> 'Support Home Page'-> ' download - download drivers ' and choose your machine and the desired driver/tool. (In your case the BIOS updated)

    Another option would be to modify the powersaver, so that the won´t FAN turn all the time. You can keep your machine much quieter by choosing parameters of performance lower (I think that the low performance shouldn´t be recognizable during 'normal' work) which translates (or should) in less than rotation of the FAN.

    Just check it out by clicking on 'Toshiba Powersaver' in the 'Control Panel'.

  • Need of utility to control the speed of the fan on Satellite A200

    Hello everyone, my Toshiba Satellite A200 1 GB brought 80º C on CPU, GPU and start making problems at this temperature, and I hear that the fan is not at its maximum when that happens.

    I have a cooler base for her but doesn´t work like I want.
    My question is if there is a program or a utility to control the fan speed. I I Don t want to set the lower clock speed, because I use it for HD games, just set up the fan.
    SpeedFan doesn´t recognize my CPU fan.

    Thank you!

    Have you checked for dust in the radiator?

    With the laptop off, use compressed air to blow the dust out of the heat sink. Spray the air into the unit where the Air goes out usually.

    If there is excessive dust accumulation, you may need to get an ASP to disassemble the laptop to remove dust properly, then refresh the thermal grease.

  • Update BIOS 2.20 - WIN32 - Satellite A200 fan activity

    Hello

    I bought the Satellite A200 on February. So far, it was all right. I've recently updated my BIOS to 2.20 unfortunately. Now my fan runs constantly. I changed the graphics settings, stopped some unnecessary programs loaded during startup. Nothing is done, the fan works. Is this normal?

    Before updating the BIOS he made completely different. All started for a while with force almost complete and that gradually collapsed. Now, he is constantly working with the same speed, but never stops.

    Please help :(

    I imagine that the Toshiba engineers have changed some values in the BIOS settings. What you can try is to change the METHOD of COOLING in saving settings.

    You can find under > Panel control system & maintenance Power Startup Options? Select a settings change plan Plan to modify the Toshiba Power Saver V.xxx cooling method advanced power settings
