Satellite A30 overheating problem

• Satellite A30: overheating maybe?

  Hello. I had a problem with my satellite SA30-303. When I run certain applications, such as WinDVD Creator and more recently, the online game Lineage 2 and a few others, my pc just stops completely, after an increase of "noise" coming from the ventilation. So I think it's maybe an overheating problem? Unfortunetaly, due to another person, this pc has been used on TWO napkins that were under it, and I think that could have caused this problem. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

  Should I open up the pc and clean vents and heatsink? Or do I really have to take it to the store so that they can do something? And how to open the pc to access the fan? Am I supposed to get out the whole half of the pc?
  Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.

  Hi Jose,

  It is very easy to clean the heatsink on your A30. On the bottom of the adjacent unit at the entrance to two air grids is a small cover attached by two screws 'star '.
  Simply remove this cover and the heat sink is more visible.

  The heat sink is attached with four screws. Cancel them and the heat sink can be raised as a result. do NOT remove the heat, scatter the dough.

  Dust and debris can then be removed.

  Re-assemble the heat sink and replace the access cover.

  Work done and it made a significant difference to the ventilation of you A30.

• With Satellite A30 power problems

  Hello

  Over the last four years, I have been using a Satellite A30 with XP Pro... had no problems whats so ever until that last months... I started to notice the battery life becomes lower before (prob because of the decrease in battery life) but also when he is on the grid it will charge the battery to 100% but instead of power are removed from the sector It starts to drain the battery even when the sector is connected.

  Another problem is that I have to keep or stop the laptop goes into hibernation mode so it can recognize it is powered from the battery to load... even in this case, it may take several attempts for the laptop to begin to charge the battery...

  These problems started start after warranty, and was released in additional insurance coverage

  Any information or help gladly appreciate it that I fight to get assignments done University

  Thank you

  Ben

  Hi mate,

  had a similar problem with an other friend A30. After sending the machine to an ASP (certified partner), they told us that the internal charger was defective and they have offered to swap the motherboard.
  But given that the motherboard was really expensive for him he sold the machine on Ebay and bought and Satellite A200 which is a machine really well.

  I guess that the motherboard is gone...

  That's all

  See you soon

• Re: Sound on Satellite A30-514 problems

  Hi all

  I recently bought a used Toshiba Satellite A30-514.
  I checked and got everything works except the sound and wireless WLAN. I learned that with the wireless, there is no card so that I hope that the problem has been resolved.

  Now to the sound issue.
  I checked all the way through the sound settings, try the things usual e.g uninstall Realtec AC97 audio and sourcing the driver on the Toshiba site and install again, although when 80% through it causes an error while it just goes right to 100%.
  In the Device Manager it happens now with the yellow exclamation point and the properties now show that this device cannot start (code 10) location: PCI bus 0, device 31, function 5.
  It comes up with no device in the sounds and audio devices.
  I tried upgrading the bios (already the most recent) and tried to uninstall and reinstall, but does not work on anything!

  Please someone help ive spend a whole day faced with my brain, but nothing helps, I hope that someone had the same problem and knows more to help, I will be much appreciated if you can help.
  Thanks in advance guys!

• Satellite L750 - overheating problem

  Hello world

  I am facing a big problem for several weeks now. Indeed, my computer is overheating.
  I have cleaned because I first thought that it was because the fan was full of dust, however, nothing has changed.
  The fan is always a lot of noise and hot air of spit.

  I use speedfan to check the temperature of the processor and do nothing (just google chrome), my processors easily reach * 65 to 70 ° c *!
  [I already reached 85 ° c, with internet and MS Word]

  I don't think that the problem is a software that I re-installed W8 2 days.
  Now I don't know what to do... any ideas?
  Thank you very much for your help! :)

  Laptop: Toshiba Satellite L750
  System: Windows 8 Pro 64 bit

  > Actually, my computer is overheating.
  How to understand this? Your laptop off or just to reach a higher CPU temperature?

  I mean until your computer laptop doesn t go off, there is no great reason to panic.
  How to use your laptop? Do you use it on the desk or perhaps placed on the bed or on your lap?

• Re: Satellite A60 - overheating problem

  Hello

  I have some difficulties to adjust temperature and fan on my Satellite A60.
  The operating system is Debian and the fan operates at temperatures of 60-65 degrees Celsius (without any process started after the login).
  I had installed utilities like toshutils, fancontrol, lm-sensors... but basically I have not found a solution for this:

  toshiba_acpi #modprobe
  Error: No such device

  Toshiba #modprobe
  Error: No such device

  Now, I ask you advice, please.
  If there are no alternative solutions, recompiling the kernel 2.6.24 (or other) is a solution to this problem? If the answer is 'Yes', how to prepare the package source?

  Now the system works, but not very well at that latitude this question isn't a good prelude to my summer job.

  Best regards

  HM,

  already checked the debian/gentoo/ubuntu forums? Or maybe freshmeat.net where toshutils all appear in their projects?

  Unfortunately I can't tell you why the modprobe won´t work but don't you compiled the kernel option ACPI from toshiba? It must be something that controls the trough of explicitly from functions ACPI kernel using the userlevel tools.

  By the way: have you read newspapers after trying the modprobe of the listed modules you´ve? Please make the modprobe more 'verbose', there may be something usable...

• Satellite P200: Overheating problems

  Yesterday and today my laptop fan is on 24/7 at speed, I checked the time and they were almost 70 years, but when I did intensive work it got up to 80 c and he went really very hot.
  Today I've used and was surfing the net and the Messnger and bam, it has exploded. Not on again up to 30secs, so what happened there. It was quite hot and it's a very hot day

  GMC

  aren´t there are many things that could be done by yourself. I mean, if your machine is overheating then there could be of the following reasons:

  -too much dust in the cooling system
  -cooling of grease on the processor has dried
  -cooling of grease on the GPU has dried
  -too many dust - dry cooling CPU & GPU fat

  For the cooling system which is blocked by dust, you can blow some compressed air trough it. But if the cooling paste has dried, then you should send your machine or find at least a technician who has some clues to this topic and change the fat of cooling.

• My Satellite A30 overheating

  my laptop 2 year old cuts without notice, I think that it is overheating
  should I clean a filter?
  Cannot find manual
  where is the filter?

  Hello

  The dismantling is a delicate procedure. I recommend you test the vacuum procedure. It is very easy and it works correctly.

• Satellite A300 - overheating problem

  Hello

  has taken delivery of a 2nd hand (use of the lamp) A300-1hv... whenever I run whatever whether in intensive the laptop overheats and stops.
  Fan speed shows all cores clocked at 65 c with normal use... and running Nero or similar it pierces upward and it dies on me...

  Now, I managed to understand the power of Vista (finally) settings and assured that he was on a maximum cooling but she still dies...

  Here are my questions

  1. how strong is the fan on these things, I can bearly hear mine all the time and never hear a difference?

  2. is there any application able to handle this better?

  3. someone else has this problem and found a solution

  4. it's less than a year even though I'm not the original owner is still valid warranty for me?

  Thank you for taking the time to read this and thanks for your replies

  Before you do something, you should try to clean the laptop first using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans then.
  You can buy this from a local computer dealer.

  Clean from time to time my laptop and I can confirm that the jet of compressed air is very helpful and easy to handle.
  Try it and the laptop will not overheat again.

• On a series of Satellite A overheating problem

  Well I posted this problem before thinking it was a problem with my settings of power and using drivers from ATI instead of toshiba, but the problem persisted and I managed to pin point the problem. Whenever I have my laptop running on battery its stone cold, but my battery doesn't last an hour if it is not very useful.
  However, as soon as I plug it into an adapter to recharge the battery/run plugged my laptop starts to heat up quickly. Its got to the point where its hot sometimes I can't touch for longer than a second.

  Any way to fix this at home or I should send this to toshiba for fixing?

  When you connect your laptop to the network, the power management will be changed and your laptop will probably run mode performance. This means that all hardware components will run under full power.

  In these circumstances, it is very important how you use your laptop. It should be placed on the desktop and cold air and grill must be free. Air must circulate properly. What you can try is to put your mobile PC to operate under the management of the balanced diet. The performance will still be good, but the equipment will not work with a maximum power.

  Play with all these power settings. If the problem persists then I recommend you to contact your local dealer or nearest authorized service partner. They can check your laptop and see exactly what is happening. Sorry, but I don't see another solution.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A30 stops due to overheating

  My Satellite A30 cutout due to overheating.
  The cooling fans are free of dust.
  I put the Max-performance cooling.
  Is there another reason of overheating?

  Hi David,

  Everything that hinders the free movement of air across the processor HEAT SINK cooling will have the effect you describe. The problem is that dust can not be seen by looking at the fan grids because she has built up inside the unit. The easy way to remove it is to use a vacuum cleaner hose from the cleaner to the grids of aspiration air (using a piece of cloth to maximize suction). This should make the fans running at very high speed and can produce a WAD of debris inside the grids you'll need to choose carefully.

  To be really complete, you need to remove the radiator cover (adjacent to the grids of aspiration and locked by two "torx" screws). With the cover removed, you will be able to see the heat sink itself fixed by four Phillips head screws (two on each side), delete them and remove the heat sink. Note that it will stick to the CPU because of thermal paste used during Assembly. DO NOT REMOVE THE DOUGH. Once the heatsink is removed, you will be able to see an accumulation of debris.

  Reassembly is the reverse of the uninstall, but note sequence on the heat sink numbers, so that you can tighten the screws in the correct order.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A30, PC shutdown due to overheating of the CPU

  My Satellite A30 has a new problem, the PC shuts down due to overheating.
  Fans are set to Max Performance. The cooling fans are not blocked by dust.
  I think that the CPU is overheating for some reason any.
  Can someone explain what parameters can be modified to avoid this problem?
  I also saw that the other Toshiba PC needed a BIOS upgrade, it will be necessary for the A30?

  Hello David

  Your device is certainly full of dust and cannot be properly cooled. If I remember the unit has two vents on the lower part. The must be removed and cleaned properly.

  Trust me on this machine, the dust is placed behind the fans and if you look they seems to be clean, but they are not. Contact the customer Service of your country partner. The cleaning procedure takes about 20-30 minutes. I can't imagine that it will be expensive.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite A30 - problems with SP3

  I have a Satellite A30 921. After you download the Service Pack 3 Windows the power management tools cannot either Hibernate & sleep functions. Microsoft Help said I needed to update my BIOS. However, BIOS for this laptop is not available online-not that I can find!

  What should I do? Is there an another BIOS update to use instead or I just SP2?

  Hello Jodie

  I'm not 100%, but in my opinion, there is nothing to do. Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model and, as far as I know, there is no any kind of update for SP3.
  I have Satellite M70 and always use it with SP2 because a lot of people here have reported on the various problems after the installation of SP3 and I don't want to have an any of them on my laptop.

  In any case try to check the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page. don't forget to search the ARCHIVES.
