• Satellite 1905-S303 - fan turns on every 2 minutes

  Hey guys, thanks for your help in advance.

  I just noticed that my laptop fan lights quite often.

  I have a Satellite 1905-S303.

  How many times you ask? -The fan runs about every 2 minutes, and then it stays on for about 1 minute. (So the cycle takes about 3 minutes). Things continue to go all the time, even if the computer does nothing.

  Other than that, the seams fine computer. The computer does NOT turn off overheating.

  Is this normal?

  I just noticed this and can't remember if it has always done this. (Although I don't think)

  PS - I tried dusting the gills of the computer with compressed air, but nothing has changed.

  Other than that, the seams of the computer to function very well.

  Thank you guys!

  > I just noticed that my laptop fan lights quite often.
  I don t think it would be a bad thing
  The point is that the fan lead on if a certain level of temperature has been reached.
  This is nothing unusual.

  I have the same problem, but I can control my Toshiba Power Saver cooling modules so I can set the parameters of battery optimized in order to reduce the speed of the fan.

  Maybe you could do that too.

• Satellite A300 - fan always runs at full speed after full stop

  When I stop the Satellite A300, the fan always runs at full speed.

  Hello

  What? Cooling modules run, even in this case, the cell phone is off?
  Press the power button for at least 4 seconds, then the laptop must be turned off.
  Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery
  Wait about an hour and reconnect the battery and AC adapter
  Then switch on the device after a certain time of use of turning the unit off and check if the cooling modules would stop too

• Satellite A300-1GC - turn off when I play games

  Hello

  I try to explain my problem (I'll try because English isn't my motherlanguage wull so hards to ensure that you understand me Hi!).
  Usually I use my Satellite A300-1GC also for two or three days (I watch divx on tv and other small applications, but nothing special) and never happened to me that yesterday was happing!

  I installed a game (Jekyll & Hyde) and I played it with the pc cable hook up to electricity. After a while (I think only an hour) the computer turns off! After that was not possibel to turn it on nothing! No light was on the same battery icon nothing complitely dead! After about 10 minutes instead of the icons light was on and so I was able to restart the computer. Windows XP doesn't give me any error on the "blackout" reports the system. I restarted the game and play with him for about two hours without any problem! If you have something (hihihihi) understud my question is:

  Whay you do that I can do so that this accident will not happen more? Is there some test or newspaper or something similar I can read to see if there is any hardware/software problems? May need a BIOS update? I mean, is there anyone who have the same laptop and have similar experience and sort it out with an update?
  On short time I'm planing to install windows 7 (two DVDs I received from Toshiba) but first I must address this problem.

  I thank the of in advance for help

  PS: Once again at 11:36 the laptop shut down whenm I played :(

  Hi Helen_1,

  Usually, if the laptop shuts down during a game, it s caused by a higher internal temperature to protect the equipment.

  I put t know how long you already have Satellite A300, but usually the laptop must be cleaned every 3 months using a jet of compressed air. You will find here in the forum how an article on this subject:

  Also make sure that this new Toshiba Web site display driver is installed.

  Don't forget the fan inside is not blocked somehow.

• Re: Satellite A300 - fan does not work after installing Win7

  Hello.

  I did a new install of Win 7 pro 64-bit, and after it does not my fan, not at the start or in Windows. To check if it the fan itself was broken I re-installed Vista instead and the fan worked again!
  Installed new Win 7 but now it's silent :( I checked in the BIOS (latest version 1.80) but I couldn't find any option here. Am I missing a driver or something?

  My Satellite canned extinguishing because of this, so I would really appreciate help :)

  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 A300-17N - turn on the power by touching the button player media

  Hello

  I have a question about Satellite A300-17N. Is it normal to power by touching the button Media Player? Because I can turn it on by pressing the power button (which is normal) or pressing the button on the media player.

  Thank you in advance,

  AEM

  Yes this is normal. the idea is to push the button to load Windows and autorun a media player.

• Re: Satellite L500 - fan power switch every 5-10 seconds

  Hello

  I have a new Toshiba satellite L500 1XX with i3 and I installed the 32 bit OS.
  Starting from the first start, the fan is acting strange every 5-10 seconds it started working for 5-10 seconds then stops for 5 to 10 seconds, then again, who's going all the time even if the flurry of the laptop stand out with something.
  I think that something is wrong, but was not able to find it. Please I need help
  Thank you

  Hello

  That's ok with your laptop. My satellite that a500 is also like that, even if I surf the Internet, watch movie and CPU shows only 5%. I don't play all the games. It didn't because of the dust because I clean it regularly, installed all the drivers, BIOS updated. The only way to make it quieter to run the fan at a constant speed as 54%, I simply load the CPU with some applications that maintains fan runs almost every time and not boring perceptible noise.
  You can play with the power settings in the power management, but in my case it does not help. And do not decide yet upgrade the Bios, it don't improve you but can kill your knees so wrong.

  Bazlaha, ahi!

• Satellite A300D - fan turns very hard and the laptop gets very hot

  I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as what to do with the overheating problem that I currently have with my A300D. I had the laptop for less than a year, it is still under warranty but I don't know where to go or what to do to fix it.

  The problem: about two months ago, I noticed the fan turns very hard and also the laptop gets very hot. Now it runs so hot the laptop shuts down completely. The heat being driven out of the laptop is so hot! burn your my infact.

  Anyone has any advice they could offer me.

  Thank you
  James

  Hi James

  You wrote that you have the laptop less than a year, so my question is this is already cleaned it?
  The laptop needs to be cleaned every 3-4 months and I do this every 3 months. Whenever I do I m wondering how much dust out and after this procedure the portable is a lot cooler.

  Here's an interesting article from Toshiba on this subject:

  Compressed air spray is really useful and you should check it out yourself! ;)

• Re: satellite A300 screen turns off after the toshiba logo, will not boot from the CD/DVD

  Hello, I have this problem with Toshiba satellite A300.

  I deleted several files and folders of my drives C and E. To restart the computer, it only shows the Toshiba logo then a slightly gray white screen on a thorough inspection. Whenever I press CRL + ALT + DELETE, the computer restarts and behaves in the same way.

  I tried to use an external monitor, but there is no difference. The tent to start using a CD/DVD, same behaviour occurs, it does not start and screen remains blank after the Toshiba logo, I tried even to change g the order of boot, but in vain.

  What could happen?
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It seems that you deleted system files and Windows no longer starts. Have you tried to restore the disk image factory settings or hard drive recovery? Or do copy the Windows installation... It is easier to reinstall rather fix the problem.

• Satellite A300 spontaneously turned off

  Hi people.

  Hoping someone can confirm what I am already assuming that or possibly help me with something that I have not yet tried.
  My daughters a300 is off spontaneously without reason apparent. Sometimes less than a minute or so but above all a few seconds now.

  Weeks began by cutting only of now & again but it has far more common constantly where it stops almost immediately in most cases. Sometimes I can go as far as the Windows logon or a live cd/usb charge but 9 times out 10 now it is turned off during, before or after the post.
  Before this stop so quickly these days that I assumed it was a Windows problem, but this is obviously not the case, I know now.

  I had the machine open and cleaned that little dust he was. All fans work fine and I have aleardy swapped virtually all bars of the motherboard & CPU.
  I tried to boot from the live Linux CD & USB without any connected main player and I also tried without the battery connected and I ran memtest on his memory in another corresponding A300, we have in addition to control his drive to find errors etc. They are all very good.

  Don't really want to spend more than £100 for a new Board of Directors, if if there's a chance again, he might still be something else that I neglected to try.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Usually the laptop automatically stops due to a higher temperature.
  If the temperature rises to a critical level, the laptop stops to prevent material damage.
  This usually happens because that the cooling fans don't properly twist because of the dust.

  But it seems that you have already cleaned the cooling modules and fans, so in this case the higher temperature may not be the problem. So it seems that there could be other reasons for this

  Unfortunately, for me it s is not possible to say what role could be affected in the worst case, it could be a motherboard problem, but it could also be a RAM problem.

  Control programs memory are ok, but the RAM modules could still work even if the memory test would detect all problems. So it of certainly worth it to use a new RAM.

• Satellite C660 - fan start every minute

  Hello

  I just buy a Toshiba satellite it there two days now, but the fan turns on every minute when I go only on the web...

  Listening to music / videos, it is almost drowned out by the noise, but otherwise it's really headlock.

  It blows every minute 10/20 s and force even if he is not so strong, it's really disturbing.

  Is this normal?
  Please

  Hello

  The fan would turn if the CPU would be stressed.
  You can check in the Task Manager process stresses the CPU and could check if you can disable it.

  In addition, I would recommend checking the Win 7 Power Management
  There you can change the settings of the optimised battery cooling modules.

  Hope this helps

• Cannot use the webcam on my Satellite A300

• Satellite A135-S4666 - cooling fan turns on and turns off every 20 seconds

  Hello

  I'm from the Argentina... I just bought a new Satellite A135-S4666 and I noticed that the cooling fan turns on and turns off every 20 seconds.
  It is a little annoying and it disctracts me of what I'm doing... is there a solution?

  Thank you very much.

  Hi Martin,

  This behavior is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. If you find the noise irritating cooling fans you are likely to change their behavior by using the utility of Toshiba power where you should be able to set the cooling mode to run more quietly. I think trhe default is to allow the CPU to run at full speed, which will, of course, the fans turn every few seconds, but by reducing the speed of the CPU, the heat produced will be lower and therefore the fans will run less often.

  Kind regards

• Vista constantly crashes whenever I turn on Satellite A300

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A300 and every month or so I have the problem that Vista freezes constantly whenever I turn on the laptop.

  I made 2 HARD drive Recovories who have always allowed the fault, but this time, when I tried a restore from the HARD drive, the system told me that "HDD1 not found, cannot perform recovery".

  Don't know what is happening, I also seem to have a snoring constant fan going.

  Any advice?

  Thank you.

  For me it sounds like that, it could be a HARD drive problem because recovery tells you he can find a disk of the t

  Have you checked your hard disks to find errors? You can do this with a special tool, for example Drive Fitness Test.
