Satellite A300 - Touchpad gets too hot

I bought a Satellite A300 last week and I noticed that when I use the computer for an hour or so the touchpad becomes very hot.
And also the area of the left hand next to the touchpad.

Is this normal? Is there a way to reduce it?

Thank you

Pedro.

Hi Pedro,

I put t know what what is for you hot and wasn't, but on my Toshiba Satellite laptop I've never had a problem that it too hot.

Normally, I recommend to clean the laptop with a jet of compressed air, but I think that is not necessary because the laptop is only a week.
Maybe the fan or the heatpipe is malfunctioning. Or the thermal grease to be renewed

I put t know but in your case, I would go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and it should be free, because the laptop must be under warranty if it s a week-old.

Welcome them

  • My Satellite L350-171 gets very hot

    My Satellite L350-171 gets very hot and then stops spontaneously. When I pass it back on I can get the message that he has not closed properly and I want to boot into SafeMode etc.

    Does anyone else have this problem / solution?

    Solution?
    This isn't the latest model cell phone, so I assume it's pretty full of dust that blocked cooling grill and the cooling fan. In my opinion, you should clean it up to cooling system of free brand of SCT. After this laptop will be able to take a new breath and material can be cooled correctly.

    How to do this? On the internet you can find many pages and short films how to do this using compressed air. Google around a bit.

    Second option is professional cleaning. In this laptop case will be disassembled and cleaned cooling system. Of course, it is the best solution but must be done by authorized personnel only. Contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask how much it costs. It is perhaps not so expensive.

  • I have a laptop Acer Aspire 4310, it gets too hot

    I have a laptop Acer Aspire 4310, it gets too hot (85/90) degree Celsius.
    In less than 30 minutes, I use even a fan of the big table and a cooler computer to cool down(70/75/65) degrees Celsius.
    I'm quite sure that the ventilation openings are not full of dust and not blocked, preventing the constant air circulation.

    Clean installation of Windows VISTA - touchpad & keyboard half the time not work half the time. I'm sure this isn't a driver problem (if it doesn't not Device Manager said was a problem with the device..). I already tried 5 different drivers...
    I am faced with the question since I bought it... I thought that there could be problem with OS, today I installed UBANTU but face question (Mouse pad stops after some time) with this OS too... I'm sure that its hardware problem not with OS or any driver...

    Please can someone is there any solution for this...

  • Satellite A300-1MX - get only to use 2 GB

    Hello world

    I have a question:
    My Satellite A300-1MX has 4 GB of RAM... now that I have Windows XP Professional, its only able to 3 GB...
    But how is it, I don't get to use 2 GB... Probably because my graphics card uses 1 GB.
    How can I pass... as in how do I can change the amount of RAM uses the graphics card?

    I've been usin Adobe after-effects, and in the options of memory & cache, it says I have 2 GB of ram maximum...
    I want to say is that I buy a laptop with 4 GB and end use only 2 possibe really!
    The graphics card (3650) a 512 dedicated... but sound using 1 GB.

    I shud have 2.5 GB of RAM then if it wud be logical.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you very much
    Sasch

    Hello

    The 32-bit of Windows XP manages 3.2 GB of RAM max.
    3.2 GB of RAM are only possible due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

    The ATI graphics card supports dedicated video memory and he shares part of the main memory too.
    But look, man. everything is controlled automatically. This means that the graphics card driver assigns parts of memory needed.
    If memory is not necessary the graphics card driver assigns not all memory main room in memory of the graphics card.

  • Tecra 8100 CPU gets too hot

    Well, some may remember my previous post about the fan activation in my Tecra 8100.

    This laptop came to me as a gift by a customer, because the screen didn't work. After some research, the problem was the internal cold cathode that was broken. Once replaced: Yes! a free book for me! It was a Pentium III 650 Mobile, with 64 MB of RAM and a 12 GB hard drive. I replaced all the components (which are now on sale, btw), and now has a Pentium III 850 Mobile, 512 MB of RAM and a 40 GB hard drive. Someone gave me a card PCMCIA of WiFi 11 Mbit/s, and now how it works with Windows XP Professional and updated Toshiba Utilities and drivers downloaded from Toshiba USA.

    What's the buzz? SpeedFan, Motherboard Monitor and other monitoring utilities reported temperatures up 72a? Aºc in the processor. I opened the computer laptop and put thermal paste instead of the sticker that has the heat sink. Temperature guard high and utilities Toshiba even with parameters ' cooling high performance "does not have the fan to cool the cpu...

    I hangs at all, but the business cards and pcmcia laptop have too hot even with the system works with any of the applications running. Lowering of the CPU clock or the ratio helps not at all.

    I think putting a fan somewhere extra to force air circulation and that cool the cpu, unless...

    ... Toshiba could develop a utility that allows you to directly control the fan speed. I don't know if the thermal management is hardware or software-driven. If it is a software-driven, it should be easy to create a utility that directly access the fan and temperature records. It would be MUCH better than simply let the computer decide when and how long to activate the fan.

    I'm sure that Toshiba engineers are busy with more important things which will not create the utility for us, so...

    .. What to check or do to cool the CPU at more appropriate values?

    Thank you all!

    Hello

    As in you previous announcement describes the Toshiba power saver controls the CPU and fan usage.
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=12585
    This software works very well, and if you use the laptop as prescribed, you should not get all the problems and overheating problems.

    The problem is that you have changed all the devices and parts on you laptop. The new parts are effective, but produce more heat.
    On the laptop you can cool the CPU with a small fan, and if she goes out, it is necessary to decrease the performance of the processor.
    It is a simple fact. All these functions can be set with energy saver.
    In addition, it is very important that your cooling module is clear and free from dust and debris obstruct the work of fan.

    The problem is that it takes too much time on the login screen 'Please wait '.

    I did try the recovery since the DVD and start the system, but still have the same problem, and diagnose the startup has not detected any problem.

    Can someone please?

    Hello

    I think I could help you
    I had the same problem with my laptop. The start-up procedure is too long (about 3 min).
    I have updated the Tempro software and disabled some background processes in the MSCONFIG Startup tab.

    This has helped to decrease the boot time of one min.
    I think it's very good improvement.

  • Satellite A660 - touchpad is too sensitiv

    I have trouble to get use to the touchpad. Compared to my previous two laptops, this one seems both known and devoid of other hypersensitivity.

    He has not contributed to change the sensitivity, palm touch to monitor or virtual scrolling regions.

    I wonder if it's just me, or is the case they find others?

    Hello

    To be honest I m not the owner of the Satellite A660 but I have two other laptops and I could always change the sensitivity of the touchpad the touchpad settings.
    Begging my touchpad is still too sensitive; the cursor happened to fast and double click is too sensitive as well.

    I was able to change all of these settings in the touchpad settings and it helped a lot.

  • Satellite A300 - Touchpad does not work correctly

    Hi guys,.

    I recently had a problem with my laptop touchpad.

    The little icon in the toolbar that displays the status of the touch pad indicates that the touchpad is used even when it is not.
    There also some time did the same for the left click button.

    I tried to change settings in the control panel and tried to update the driver (windows tells me always upward even if this isn't so far!).

    Because the touchpad think he used this effects my LT performance! Any clues guys.

    Oh and Fn + F9 turns off the TP but the indication remains the same.

    Have you tried to use the touchpad the touchpad driver free? You should be able to use the touchpad without driver also, but you will have all these additional options.
    Can you please test?

  • Satellite L40 CPU is too hot?

    I just bought a Satellite L40 with a intel T2370 processor and I have a feeling that its temperature is high enough.
    Everest ultimate sensors show a temperature around 70 c during operation.

    This temperature is normal?
    Other users have a similar temperature?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The temperature of your laptops is certainly not too high!

    You need to know some important facts;
    First a few 3rd party tools don t always provide values for temperature of 100%!
    Second, the internal temperature is constantly changing.

    Running some games, videos, or other high performance programs would lead to higher heat dissipation and a higher temperature
    This is a common behavior of laptop so don t be worried that something is wrong with your laptop ;)

    By the way; the laptop supports an overheating protection. It will stop automatically if the temperature is too high.
    If the computer laptop doesn t turns off automatically, your CPU temp is ok.
