Satellite A215-S4757 - battery life and the problem of cooling fan

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask a few questions abou my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

I have my laptop since last August and I think that it shouldn't be a dust problem, because it is too 'young' for this and I do not live in an apartment "dusty"...

In any case, I think that the problem of "almost allways running fan" appeared about 2 months after I bought the laptop. I installed 'Speedfan' and I see 'HD0' temperature increases of 30deg remarks immediately after I have start the laptop, on 39deg after 1 hour.

But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?

Is the normal temperature of 45-50deg? I use my laptop for browsing the Internet, emails, etc., no complex 3d games!

The second thing is that the battery life is (and has been since the beginning) not spectacular: it lasts max. 1.5 hours with wireless use on, but normal laptop (don't play not DVDs or something like that). Is this normal? If so, is it because of the amd processor turion 64 x 2?

Please help me with some tips / advice.

P.S. I bought my Toshiba as I was travelling to the US (NY).

Thank you much in advance.

> I would like to ask a few questions about my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

I m an owner of a Satellite A210. It s similar to the A215. The A210 is a European model and the A215 belongs to the series of cell phones in the United States.
I noticed the same thing on my A210, and I think that's a normal s behavior.

> But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?
The 40-60deg CPU temperature is not unusual.
The temperature could affect up to 70-80degrees by practicing a game. So Don t worry about the temperature.
Cooling modules are controlled by the BIOS. Fan table is stored in the BIOS and it contains information about the limits of temperature and the use of cooling.
If a certain level of temperature has been reached the cooling module begins to spin with a certain speed.

Now, I would like to say a few words on the life of portable batteries
Generally the duration of battery life depends on the use of portable computers.
While playing games or watching movies the battery a lot faster.

In any case, your laptop is equipped with high performance devices and AFAIK Vista was preinstalled on this series. The two factors (high performance CPU and GPU devices) + Vista OS need a lot of battery power. Vista needs of more resources for laptop like Win XP, and so portable computers equipped with Vista operating system run more short on battery such as laptops pre-installed with Win XP.

Finally and above all he must know that there are different models more strong the battery with high * value of my would help run the notebook longer using the power of the battery.

Hope I could clarify this issue.

Good bye

  • Question about the battery life of the Satellite L40-139

    It's maybe a stupid question, but I have a portable Satellite L40-139 and the battery lasts less time, is this correct.
    In the power management, I chose energy-saving. I used to be a mobile system and it could take 2-3 hours. The answers would be great.

    The laptop uses Vista. Am I wrong?
    Well, I don't wonder that you can run Notepad only for an hour approximately.
    Vista needs for more resources as a BONE at the beginning. In addition, there are a few bugs in Vista, who have a bad influence on the performance of the battery!
    You can perform a search in internet for Vista and the problem of battery on laptops and you will find a lot of information.
    The same laptop with XP runs twice as long on battery as with Vista.

    I found the problem.  The new installation of BlackBerry Protect caused the time and date and other above disappearing icons.  I have since deleted the application and everything was restored.

  • Satellite A215-S4757 SD card reader does not work correctly

    Hello world

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4757. I recently had a duo memory stuck in the SD card slot and got out. Now when I insert a card into the laptop shows no signs of reading. I don't know if it is damaged or simply not work (but in Device Manager, it says its fine.) If any of you can help with the problem would be great. Thank you for your time.

    Hello

    If you have inserted a memory stick duo, but how you removed? A point would be to remove the card reader in the device and reinstall it.

    Another chance if you don't have a chance, you must send your machine to a local authorized service partner that should make a hardwarecheckup on your machine. You might find that the nearest using this link:

  • Satellite A215-S4757 blue screen & startup failure after HARD drive partitioning

    I just bought a Satellite A215-S4757 a week ago & I tried to divide my hard drive coz, I was only one partion (250 GB) using acronis disk director.

    After that I got the blue screen and now I failed to start and I tried all the options to repair my windows or load in SafeMode to no avail coz it crashes just from the window of microsoft corporation.

    I tried to reinstall windows vista with the cd but still does not!
    pls someone helo me :(

    Hello

    Creator of disc of Acronis does not for me but I know for sure that you can split the capacity of the HARD drive into two partitions with rendering recovery DVDs. Start your laptop with recovery DVDs and check the option to install it.

    You must have a mobile US model. I am from Europe and I don't know about you how it works with the recovery media in the United States, but it should be similar to the European and because of that it must be an option to divide the capacity of the HARD disk with two partitions.

    Please try again. It should work somehow.

  • Satellite L650-1EQ - black screen and overheating problems

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop Satellite L650-1EQ.
    A few days ago my laptop was overheated quite often.
    I would like to start playing a video game and the computer could actually turn off after 10 minutes of playing it.

    I realized that this was getting serious so I stopped using my computer to play games and I decided that I need to clean it. However, I was looking for online on how to clean up my computer and then my screen turns white!

    I didn't know what happened and was very scared.
    I turned off the computer.

    The next day I turned on the computer to see if it was good, and the screen was black however the laptop power light comes on and I hear the vents work.

    I turned on the computer and tried to start it again, and the computer started fine.
    The image appeared and the problems disappeared.
    But I knew that something bad was about to come so I took the laptop computer repair technician.

    I told her what happened.
    He has used the vacuum to "clean" the dust of the computer and told me to go back if the computer kept a overheating.

    I restarted the computer again when I came home, and after an hour and a half the computer screen turns white but I don't think that it overheated. : s

    I tried to start the computer and the screen is black, no picture, the only light on is the power one and I hear the vents work. I tried of transformed market but now it just stays as if it were now.

    I tried on another computer for solutions such as the battery and pressing the power button for 2 minutes and other things, but nothing has worked. I don't know what to do so I decided to create a thread to get answers: s

    Please help me, thank you!

    Hello

    This does not sound very good boyfriend. I'm afraid that there could be some sort of dysfunction material Mr. something like the problems of graphics card or motherboard issue.

    You can try plugging the external monitor to the laptop just to see if something would be visible on 2nd screen.
    But if nothing will appear on the 2nd monitor, I think that the chip of the graphics card died :(

    Of course, this is just my personal opinion and a laptop computer technician must check the laptop to know what part of the laptop could be faulty.

  • Satellite L500-1ZR - battery died during the first installation

    Hello

    I really hope someone can help me.

    During the first time I started my new Toshiba Satellite L500-1ZR battery died and my laptop turns off. I was in the middle of the installation and now when I start it, it gives a word of warning: "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error." Windows Setup cannot continue. To install Windows, click OK to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. "However, when I click OK it restarts and I find myself the exact same caveat. I tried F2 and F12 to see if he had options to do a startup repair and also I inserted a disc on which I downloaded a hardware configuration, but it won't work.

    Anyone got some ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi belisu,

    The advanced boot menu, you can access via the F8 key before Windows starts.
    With the F2 and F12 button, you can access the BIOS menu and start.

    So try to use the F8 key to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and try to start the Windows repair option. It starts from Toshiba HARD drive recovery and restore settings factory.

    Good luck! :)

    Hello. There is a problem on the IPhone s 5 - after reset, the display flashes on the sides for 10 minutes, then the flashing stops. And the problem does not appear again until they do not use a Hard Reset (Power + Home).

    If you encounter this flicker, then the next troubleshooting step is to restore from a backup. If the behavior persists after the restore, then the last step is the factory restore. If after the factory restore and adding no additional content, you see always this problem, then you must make an appointment at the Genius Bar to the nearest Apple store or service provider authorized Apple to have the material examined. If the behavior goes after the factory restore, then sync again your content manually, without using the backup. It seems to me it's corrupted content in the backup.

If I have installed adobe acrobat in my computer would it be possible to install the software in my future computer without purchasing another license that is to say with the same license that I bought?

    Yes, you can reinstall it on other machines, if you wish, without having to buy new.  A license allows for activating facilities on two machines and if necessary, you can turn off a machine in order to allow the activation of another.
