Satellite A30 - 404 - the fan does not work

I have a Satellite A30-404 for a couple of years now, and recently I saw serious problems with my laptop.

Let me start from the beginning:

My laptop has been a few months, when he suddenly stopped, I contacted the helpline and they picked up the phone and fixed.
Again, a few months later, it happens again and I call them, they tell me that the problem is caused by the dust accumulating on the radiator of the laptop.
I used a vacuum among fans to clean dust.

When I do that, indeed, there was a lot of dust coming out, so I made this process, I realized a few months and the laptop remained very well.

A few months ago, when vacunuming the pc again once I heard something breaking and I soon realized that all the components of one of the fan where gone.

Probably one of them broke and since it had to be rotated at high speed he stopped and beat all the others. So I had 2 broken fans 1. I realized that in the long term that my processer could be destroyed because it did not good cooling. Since then the processer would become very hot and consumes much more energy than normal.

Now, I also have the problem that whenever I turn on the pc it starts slowly draining battery (its plugged into the power supply). It's like I have a giant battery, the laptop power and eventually it will turn off. I also tried to boot the pc with no battery at all and it works very well for a while, but then it turned off suddenly. I try to turn on the pc and after 1 or 2 seconds it stops again. I don't know if its related to the fact that the processor is damaged boats.

I talked to a lot of people in order to get the fixed fan but they say it can become very expensive since its hard getting the same fan. And by the way, when I work on the computer with only the battery that it depends on almost an hour

Any suggestions? Help, please

EDIT: I turned of the auto in hibernation when the battery is low to see what is happening, the energy of the battery indicates 0%, but the laptop stays on.

Hello

Well, you should be cautious if you use the vacuum cleaner to clean the fans. It is risky!
Extra ball bearings might damage if the fans turn too fast.

So if you have no experience with these procedures you should t do.
The person with the experience as a technician workbook must clean the fans and cooling modules.

I agree with Doomlord, and it seems that you need a new cooling module.

  • Satellite P850-30W - the fan does not work after returning from the mode "Eve"

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P850 30W with bios 1.90.

    Sometimes the fan does not work at all after back mode standby on windows 7.
    What happened twice (perhaps several times without knowing me), and Ive had the computers for a month.

    Normally the fan starts to run when the CPU gets more than 50 degrees celsius and stops less than 50 celisus...

    I tried running Prime95 when this fan-this occurs and the time of the computer got dangerously high (near 100 degrees)! the fan did not start at all
    .. .This error could damage the laptop potentinally...
    to get the fan turns once again I have to restart windows

    anyone experienced this?
    I guess that the fix would be to never use standby... or toshiba needs to fix it with an update of the bios.

    > Sometimes the fan does not work at all after back mode standby on windows 7.
    > What has happened twice (perhaps several times without knowing me), and Ive had the computers for a month.

    You said it's happened twice and only sometimes done this means that above all the fans are working well?
    In this case, this would mean that it of difficult to reproduce this problem, but you might be right: maybe a BIOS update would help solve this problem permanently

    I found some discussions on the stand-by mode and fan activity and in most cases, the update of the BIOS was the key.

  • Satellite Pro C650 - cooling fan does not work

    My Satellite Pro C650 overheats and stops automatically within 20 minutes of leaving upwards. I checked the CPU fan and noticed that it does not turn upward, even if the laptop would become very hot. I tested the fan with a 9 volt battery and it works perfectly.

    Can someone tell me exactly what the problem is? And how to solve it.

    Thank you.

    > Can someone tell me exactly what the problem is?
    On this virtual path, no one can say with certainty what the problem is. We can only speculate what may be the problem.
    Usually, cooling fan starts immediately after starting the laptop slows down and offers the optimum temperature of material. After reading your ad I didn t understand how it works. He turns and there is no sign of life?
    Problem can be power.
    Cooling fan will be controlled by sensors of temperature and activity depends on the temperature of the material but if your machine cooling fan does not work, I imagine that there is no electric power.

    What do you think?

  • Satellite A300D-126 the keyboard does not work

    I reinstalled the driver but it still does not. What could be the problem? Help please. Thank you

    Hello

    What s wrong exactly?
    You have reinstalled the drivers?
    What drivers do you mean?

    The keyboard driver is part of the Windows operating system and it cannot be reinstalled separately.

    If your keyboard doesn't work properly then either the software doesn't run as it should, or the material (keyboard) is defective.

    You could try reinstalling the operating system using the Toshiba HDD recovery to check whether the problem is related to the software.
    If the keyboard does not work after this procedure, then a hardware problem might be possible.

  • Satellite A200 - 19K - overheating/fan does not work

    These 2-3 days, my Satellite A200 - 19 k (PSAECE) was himself cut and was not very hot. I installed SpeedFan, but it does detect any fans. In addition, the fan on the base of the machine is not working. Anyone has any ideas for a solution?

    Any help is much apprieciated.
    Thank you

    Hello

    In this case there is not one any magic solution. Overheating is a very serious problem for me. I see two possibilities here: either is dirty cooling grill and the laptop cannot be cooled correctly or there is a mechanical problem with cooling fan.

    If you really think that cooling fan is not working properly please contact the authorized Service partner as soon as possible. I imagine that the laptop has guaranteed valid and if the cooling fan is defective it will be exchanged free of charge.

    This is serious problem and please, do not try to do some experiments, but be sure that the hardware of the laptop is not defective.

  • Satellite C870-155 - the Touchpad does not work

    I have a Satellite C870 - 155 (PSC8AE) and problems with the touchpad.

    The buttons work, but not the pointer/trackpad.

    The laptop was in need of a replacement hard drive, and I don't have any recovery media. I'm running a new installation of Windows 7 (Home Premium, 64-bit) vanilla.

    I installed all the drivers, that I can find (including the touchpad).

    I tried pressing F5 / Fn + F5, but this does not change anyuthing that I can see.

    I am running the latest version of the BIOS I can find (6.60).

    Any suggestions?

    > Everything seems to work except the pointer.
    I guess that s hardware problem and the touchpad module must be replaced.
    I m straight probably because if the touchpad would be disabled or drivers that would be misunderstood, the touch area AND the touchpad buttons would not work.

    In your case touch ONLY area/pad does not work, but the buttons

    But just to be sure: go into the BIOS (F2)-> Advanced tab-> the system setup
    Here you can check whether the pointing device (touchpad) is enabled.

  • Satellite A30-404: DVD player does not read some DVD

    Hello

    I have a satellite A30-404, and recently, I installed a new firmware update for my TOSHIBA DVD - ROM SD-R6112. (page can be found [here | http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=NL&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 518 & langua ge = 33 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 28 & selectedLanguage = 33 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 46804 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42])

    Since then, I can't play some DVD I write, for the most part, the 4 GB DVD +, for example, I can perfectly read a 1, 3 GB DVD with 3 multisessions.

    However, other computers can read the DVD I can't.

    Help would be appreciated.

    Maybe the new firmware does contain all of the information on the DVD.
    Do you know what firmware is or what information it contains?

    The firmware of the drive contains simple information about the support that can be used, what burning/reading speed is supported, which average manufacturer is compatible, etc.

    Maybe the new firmware contains other information such as and therefore CD/DVD cannot be played correctly.
    I think in this case, you need to test different CDs/DVDs and try to burn at a different rate.

  • Satellite M70-181: the wifi does not work

    Hello

    I'm in New Zealand at the moment and a fortnight ago, I changed my bios password but forgot it. To solve this problem I send the laptop to Toshiba in Christchurch and they reset for me. But since that day my wireless does not work. When I turn it on not even the light. Is not in one of the normal places (like in the network environment or how ever you call it).
    Would it be a problem with the hardware, and it is easy to fix by cause me I didn't have the waiting time until they do it again in Christchurch.

    Thanks for all the answers

    They could have damaged antenna card wifi inside your computer. If you have technical skills, you can fix it yourself, but if you don't just send the laptop back and let check them again.

  • Satellite M30-604 freezes and the fan does not work after replacing

    Satellite SM30-604. Laptop has left the mat from one day to the next and overheated! Fan won't spin and laptop start only occasionally. Thinking that the fan was fault I replaced the fan but even this new fan doesn't spin. The heat sink is totally clean - dust free inside the fins at all. The laptop is only 2 years.

    Cooling using forced (by sticking a nozzle of aspiration to the output of the cooling fan!) the laptop starts sometimes as normal until the desktop screen with all of the usual icons and no error message. But then, it does not further - the freezing of the screen, keyboard and mouse.

    Most of the time it does not start at all. When it does not start, the blue LED lights up but there is no hard disk activity or LCD at all - even the wifi LED lights even.

    Really grateful if someone knows what's going on. You are not sure if it is the main processor that is defective?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello, Charlie

    As you know on this path is not easy to give an accurate diagnosis, but according to your assignment, I guess there is a complex problem and unit must be properly verified. I also think that there must be a problem with the electronics.

    It is really possible that the motherboard needs to be replaced but, as I already said, it is not possible to say something specific about your problem. Try contacting Asp and you will see what they say.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A30 - 203 - recovery disk does not work

    Hi all

    I have an old Satellite A30-203 and have a problem. I tried to format my laptop but the product recovery cd does not seem to work in deletion the data on my disk, its becomes blocked during loading files of ntfs? Now I am not able to retrieve a windows session would I need a new product recovery cd and would be able to get it?

    Thank you

    Hi dimation,

    It is difficult to say what is the reason of this but made is either it s a laptop problem itself or the recovery disc (e.g. scratches) causes this problem.

    In my opinion the best way to check this using a Microsoft Windows disk. If the installation completed successfully, you need a new recovery disk. As a result, you can ask a service provider authorized in your country! :)

  • Satellite A30-141 sound card does not work

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A30-141.
    Last week I formatted the laptop then after I tried to install the adapter driver (realtek sound semiconducter) downloaded from the toshiba site, but now very well symbols sound card, but I don't know why his work doesn´t on my system.
    Can someone help me? I'm stuck with this system, because my presentation doesn't work anymore.

    waiting for help

    Hello

    I think it would be best if you try the realtek driver from the homepage of manufacturers (http://www.realtek.com.tw/). This driver should work no doubt, my machine gives sound without problems with only the drivers.

  • Satellite P100-145 GPU fan does not work!

    Hello

    Is there a solution to this problem yet? He started only since I upgraded my wood to 3.80. The base gets so hot on the right side and it is even radiant heat through the top panel on which my wrist/hand rests.

    Not to mention it will slowly destroying components inside. I was running a game more early to test the fan and it would not turn on just once! It was so hot! At least 100 deg/c!

    I am wanting to downgrade the bios but cannot find anywhere on the sites of toshibas. Can someone provide me please with details on how to get a bios earlier? 2.40 would be great. Back to factory settings and especially on FAN!

    I have the Satellite P100-145. It was great at first... until I found some problems due to the design.

    Help, please

    Hello

    It may seem a little weird, but you can repeat the update of the bios? After this, reinstall the latest display drivers available from the toshiba driver download page. Maybe it just s driver related, so you should give it a try...

    And Don t forget to give some feedback if it succeeded.

    See you soon

    Thank you

    Which is really strange.
    You might have installed some application that you got with this Microsoft mouse?

    I have two laptop computers and peripheral two external. One is Logitech and the other some cheap without mouse name and both have been recognized correctly suite preinstalled Win7.
