Satellite A30: Fan works

• 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.

  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

• Satellite A30 - fan still working

  Hello

  My Satellite A33 (although the case said A30 my model number indicates otherwise), there are problems of overheating for some time now, the fan always runs at full speed. I'll have to raise the notebook so that the fan can get more air.

  I'm not sure why this happens, is just needed a clean place (never did)?

  I looks as if it has two fans, and it does not blow out as much air as the other or not at all. I don't know much because I moved new laptops, but I use it when traveling.

  Can you help?

  Thank you.

  Hello
  You say you ' never played cleaning and this may be the reason for overheating (clogged cooling module). So, do the following:

  1. clean your computer with air well. If it does not help and your computer is out of warranty you can take it apart. Check then if it has 2 fans (I dunno if this model comes with 2 fans if it has 2 fans and them does not work replace it at all).
  If you decide to dismount, step this www.irisvista.com link to remove the statement

• Pro M30 satellite cpu fan works not

  on two occasions, I replaced a system on a satellite pro m30 card so that the cpu cooling fan no longer works. This is the case even after recovering the OS from the disk.

  is there any other known this.

  I talked to others who say that I need to improve the DMI

  any help please

  Hello

  Well, I put t know if the DMI update will solve it, but as far as I know the service partner should upgrade the DMI. After the replacement of the motherboard it is also important to start the diagnostic program and special test, because without this procedure, the CPU can t works with a maximum return. This can be done by the service partner. The update of the BIOS is also a possibility

• 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.

• Re: Fan is constantly running on Satellite A30

  Whenever I start my Satellite A30 the fan starts to operate in an audible manner. However, HD is about 32 to 35 ° C, according to speedfan. In addition, from time to time, the fan speeds up and gets really loud.

  In addition, sometimes the laptop just closed without any warning. I shall now put the end of the book a one bar so that air can still pass by the pc, and I feel it helps.

  I would like to stop the fan always running and to reduce its noise.

  My RAM expansion may be the reason?

  To make the A30 run better and be able to install WinXP SP3 I upgraded from 256 MB to 2.0 GB of RAM which is the maximum size of RAM according to the manual. I used the site Web of Kingston to select and buy the CPU, so I guess I bought good extensions.

  If the extension of RAM were the reason for the fan always market that would mean that if the A30 Gets the full load of RAM it's overheating. Right?

  Are there people here on the forum who had the same problem with a noisy laptop after upgrading the RAM?

  TIA

  Satellite A30 is old enough for laptop and, in my view, there may be a big problem cold air and cooling rack is full of dust. Laptop cannot be properly cooled. I opened several old notebooks and it was amazing to see how the dust was inside. I really wonder how the laptop worked

  Laptop last I opened was friends Satellite A100 (not so old as yours) and I've been irritated how fan worked on this laptop. He was so strong and ON / OFF sporadically. After cleaning it computer laptop was extremely calm and fan has worked almost constantly, but at the low level silent.

  The same was on my old satellite 1900. It was full of dust.

  Upgrade RAM or any other reason can be the reason for more power and performance. Performance notebook more runs faster and produce more heat. The critical threshold is reached laptop after suddenly OFF.

• Satellite A30, Win XP Pro SP3 - modem does not work

  Another problem with this laptop Satellite A30
  The built-in modem does not work.

  * Explanation: *.
  The driver is correct and downloaded from the Toshiba support site.
  The modem is identified as "Toshiba software modem amr" and is installed on com3 port.

  When I click on "diagnosis" and "ask modem" (right labels can be different, since my is an Italian win xp, I just translated the Italian labels), a window pops up saying: it is impossible to open the door (port), the modem is connected to.

  I tried to change the com port of the modem to different numbers, but the problem is the same.
  I don't know if the modem is a real map connected somehow to the main Board or is built right on the main map. It would be the first case, I may change see ad. BTW, the mini slot pci is already occupied by the gigabyte of Wi - Fi, so the modem must be elsewhere.

  This is strange, since I've done at least 2 other win xp pro on this machine facilities, always download and install the appropriate drivers, and the modem has never worked.
  Thank you

  Hmmmm... really strange. I use Win7 32 bit on my Satellite A300-1LI and it works perfectly.
  Maybe a stupid question now, but have you tried to use the 32 bit version?

  You have also installed all the Toshiba drivers Toshiba value added package (includes the Toshiba power saver tool)?

• 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: Software Dragon Naturally Speaking speech recognition does not work!

  I am unable to get the speech recognition program 7.3 Preffered Dragon Naturally Speaking version to operate successfully on my laptop Satellite A30 P4, using Windows XP as the operating system. It works fine on my PC of similar specs as the Satellite A30. Speech recognition is very poor indeed with the Toshiba laptop. He was sent to the seller twice, but the problem is still not resolved. I know that this Dragon program works fine on other laptops.

  He is also unable to play some of my CD.

  I would like to know if the portable technology is unable to operate with Dragon speech recognition, or is the problem with the A30 series or with my specific computer?

  What characteristic specifications are necessary for the performance of Dragon with success of the Toshiba A30? This microphone is necessary? How many and what types of RAM? An additional sound card can be inserted into the laptop to improve performance?

  Help, please! Anyone with experience with Dragon speech recognition? What could be the problem of CD?

  Hello

  It's specific software problem and it is not easy to tell what can be the problem. In my opinion, it may be that his card on this unit has no performance you want. Sorry but I have no other explanation.

  These problems can be solved simply by contacting the producer of software because they have much more experience in troubleshooting.
