Satellite A300 - after several months, it became noisy

Hi all!

I have a problem with my Satellite A300. The cooling fan is not functioning effectively. The fan runs almost constantly, even if the PC in standby, when I do nothing on computer.
I cleaned the fan holes and ventilate the air, so it is very clean. I checked the cooling modules in the Toshiba Power Saver, as well as in the ATI PowerPlay.
All settings are OK...

The question is, why my Toshiba works fine, when I just bought it, but after several months, it has become a noisy machine? It was very very portable and fan worked perfectly...

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello!

In your case I would use compressed air jet on the underside and on the left side of the laptop to make sure that blow you the dust from the cooling fans.

After cleaning your laptop, you should look into the Vista power management. Here you can change the cooling method and choose another option, for example optimized battery.

Maximum cooling performance method means that your CPU can run on the highest speed and so it needs more cooling.

Good bye

  • Satellite A300 - after update BIOS black screen

    Hi all
    I just applied the update to the BIOS on my Satellite A300. After the update is successful, the system carries out a restart. Now when I try to start it I get no display, I can hear the proceedings to hear it, the CD player, the DVD, playback led flashes.

    The ASP Toshiba rang me (phone call), the motherboard must be replaced after a bios update, but it is very expensive for me :(
    Please can you tell me if they are a way to fix it without replacing the motherboard? The bios is an Insyde and according to the site Internet the bios bios [recovery technology | http://www.insydesw.com/press/2008/press_060308.htm]. I guess that the ASP does not know that.

    Please can you tell me how to start the recovery procedure it is possible (combination?),.
    Any help on fixing the laptop without replacing the motherboard will be much appreciated.

    Hello!

    I think that the ASP is just and in the worst cases, the motherboard should be replaced.

    You can try to remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait one hour and then connect the AC adapter and the battery and try again.

    If it doesn't work you should go to an ASP. Perhaps a BIOS reset can solve the problem, but it can be done from an ASP.

  • Satellite A300 - after installing the Vista SP1 no longer start

    Hello

    I brought my Satellite A300 friends tonight to upgrade Vista to Windows 7.

    The disc of Windows 7 told me before he could upgrade the Vista would need a service pack 1, so I started to install the service pack and when he went to restart mode then it spent in step 2 restart and all of a sudden the screen went black and a load of a number appeared and it goes no further the system frozed.

    Problem now is that Windows does not start and it will not work in safe mode and I'm afraid that all my friends photo and files are now gone.

    I'm empty!

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    Now, what happens if you try to start Windows? You get an error message or something else?

    Normally before you install something like a Service Pack or Windows 7 you must back up all the files first and this must be done at any time normally ;)
    I think you can only recover data if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. Then, you can save the data on another computer.

    After that, you can do a clean Windows 7 or alternative facility. install Vista using Toshiba recovery disc, then Windows 7.

  • Satellite A300 - after the BIOS update I can not install two OS

    Hello everyone:

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-247 with Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Then I formatted it and divided the hard (320 GB) into 6 partitions and installed Windows Vista and Windows XP on drive C to drive D after having changed the SATA controller mode in the BIOS for compatibility. The computer worked well with 2 operating systems. However, when I updated the BIOS to version 1.9, two operating systems stop working and one of them can be installed: XP can be installed when SATA controller mode is placed on compatibility and Vista can be installed only when the SATA is changed to AHCI.

    Is there is no explanation of what past? And can I install operating systems 2 together again?

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all, I doubt that this has something to do with the BIOS update. I think that after the BIOS update HARD drive mode has been changed from AHCI to compatibility and therefore the OS didn't start.

    Anyway, in compatibility mode you can install Vista and XP without the SATA drivers. This should t be a problem.

    But do you know the difference between compatibility and AHCI? AHCI mode is faster and therefore I would recommend this mode.
    Like you said Vista you can already install in AHCI mode and for XP, you need Intel Storage Manager. This package includes the SATA drivers you need and here is a step by step guide to use these drivers:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

    Last but not least, you can install 2 OS. You can do what you want! ;)

  • Why my Wimdows Vista Ultimate PC decided, after several months of operation, that my copy of Windows is not genuine?

    My computer runs for several months; A week ago, my family told me that the machine stated that my installation is not authentic.  As I have already said, the product had been activated months ago, Security Essentials is installed and has been active; all updates had been installed as rerequired.

    I tried to turn it back on and got the error 0x8007000D code; "More information" fits the description "these data are incorrect.  I entered the Product Code and tried that gave the same answer.

    I checked the other responses on this site and was able to identify a solution to this trawl.  I then rang the number of activation of phone service and ultimately refusing to press any button when the voice prompted me and received a person in India. I tried to go into the menu system and after four attempts that ending with the beingdropped of the call, I gave up on that game this call lasted 5 seconds that I asked the young woman at the other end a little louder and the appeal was abandoned.

    I went through the process again.  I'm a young boy who, after registering my name and my number, kept wanting to call me by my first name.  This boy had a strong accent or my ears listen with a strong accent; After that I asked him to repeat what he had said for the umteenth time, the call is dropped.  I tried again, the next boy began to taking me through the details of same there is no trace of call me first!  After going through the activation process, ' it's because you selected "Caps Lock" key has no ' a diagnosis so after stupidly, we went through the process three times, he admitted that he had reached the end of its scenario and said that he passed me to another agent.»  The call transferred correctly and I found myself with a boy with a Central American accent.  After the next through details - 15 minutes, it seems Microsoft is unable to transfer information from one country to another - this youth said that I have called the wrong country Chad, and that I would have called the number in the United Kingdom.  After that I owe her aknowledge and apologizing for his three errors; that he assumed that I had called directly, the second that he did not ask his self, his client, what number I had composed, the third that he had forgotten that I told him that I had been transferred from the India Call Center. I asked to speak to his manager, he said he would transfer me and the call dropped.

    Once more the breaking - and this time I'm back to a young woman in India.  I asked a number of folder I was having to repeat the same information, she refused and after I had as my my agin telephonenumber, she said that there was no record of my previous calls.  An hour and a half of my life sank without a trace.  At this point I remembered, why I have cleared my desk of the sharp impliments and heavy objects; the risk of self-injury and violence to others must be reduced.  Finally, the young girl generated a file number for me, 1187937351 and then told me that the technical team of the United Kingdom ends at 18:00.  So, not quite a 24/7company, eh Microsoft?

    I need now start the process again tomorrow unless someone reading this can mount an illumination.  My Vista installation had worked; It now States that it is "not true." I can't turn it back on.

  • Blue Tooth Mouse pairing attempts failed on Mac mini after several months of service

    Hello support team,

    My attempts pairing Blue Tooth Mouse (for my "Easy blue Typhoon" made in Germany) are retained is NOT on my Mac mini once I used the 'Typhoon BlueEasy' mouse for several months in good pairing function combined with my Mac mini.

    Already I changed the batteries (which are not emptied) for rechargeable batteries (filled 100%) now - but this does not solve the problem of coupling:

    The easy blue Typhoon is not damaged/broken - it works fine on my other devices.

    I think that all of a sudden the 'mini Apple Mac system' blocked matching by some unknown reason.

  • Satellite A300 after Windows XP Professional 64-bit install.

    Hello

    I followed the steps for all updated and I'm having a problem more.
    I'll give you as much detail as possible! I created a boot disk for windows xp and used nLite to get my all the SATA drivers properly installed.
    Luckly, I did everything correct and everything went well after that.

    So windows xp installation completed my computer restarted and I was super happy!
    I arrived at the loading screen (one where theres a search bar and it saids windows xp 64-bit, the thing just before u sign) and it just freezes there and then my computer just restarts.

    I then tried safe mode with networking Mode and it didn't work. But then I tried with normal Safe Mode and it worked!

    After getting into safe mode, I tried to install different drivers for my computer then restarted and still does not work.
    Can someone help me with the problem?

    Thank you very much.

    > I then tried safe mode with networking Mode and it didn't work. But then I tried with normal Safe Mode and it worked!

    The Windows operating system does not load additional drivers in safe mode.
    It runs using only that certain necessary processes and system drivers.
    Perhaps your question relates only to certain processes that are not completely compatible, who knows

    Please help me!

    What plugins are you using IE? Some plugins/toolbars can drastically affect performance.

    Have you tested in FireFox or another browser? You can download FireFox here: http://www.getfirefox.com

    Have you installed Windows yourself? Or are you using the factory Windows installation?

    Maybe you are missing some drivers, for example, if you have not installed the correct graphics drivers, Windows will run in Mode VGA (software mode), which is very slow.
    Take a look in the device for driver issues Manager.

    It can also be caused by software installed. Perhaps you have two antivirus installed? Maybe you should try to back up your data and running recovery. Who would determine if it is a hardware or software problem.

    An update of the BIOS can also help. You can get the latest version of the BIOS on the Toshiba site in the support section.

  • AirPlay has stopped working after several months of STR DN850

    My Sony STR DN850 has worked perfectly with AirPlay for 8 months. When you use iTunes on my iMac or my Mackbook pro, I just need to play a song, and my receiver turns on and play the song. Now the small speaker selection box at the top of the window of my iTunes isn't even - probably because iTunes is not picking up an Airplay compatible device. I use Mac OS on Mac 10.9.5.

    Here is what I tried:

    1. check if I need a firmware update for my DN850 STR (I have not).

    2. repair permissions on Mac played.

    3. disconnect and restart the cable modem, router, Macs and DN850 STR. I have them all at the same time, reboot in order the cable modem, router, DN850 STR, and Macs.

    I don't see how something that worked perfectly for 8 months can suddenly stop working. I can't help thinking that there is a simple solution here, and I'm going to go for not realizing it. However, for now, I'm stuck and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It's official: I'm a fool. I went through all the steps above again and this time it worked! I suspect that restarting the network was the culprit.
