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 A300D-15B - BIOS update failed and now I get a black screen

    I've updated my laptop to run windows 7 instead of vista some time ago and my laptop was running, but the fan seems to stop working and I found that a BIOS update can fix this on this forum. The BIOS update has stopped responding partially through and I had to shut it down. I tried to run again, but he continued to come up with an error message. The laptop was working fine, but once I turned it on the next day I found that it is only responsible to a black screen. My laptop is out of warranty, but I thought I would send it out the hope for a decent price, but she came back with a cost of mounting A £400 for a replacement motherboard and price tag. Anyone know if these types of problems can be repaired without full replacement necessary?

    Thanks to advanced to someone who can help :)

    Hello

    You must contact an authorized in this case service provider. You should speak with the technicians because they try to reflash the ROM module where the BIOS is stored. This isn't expensive and it s worth a try! ;)

    You can find a list of the ASP s here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > find an authorized service provider

    But in the worst case you need a new card of mother, but technicians must try to reflash the ROM module first

  • Re: Satellite A300D - 14 p - XP stops in the middle of the installation

    Hello!

    Why when I install Windows XP on my PC overheated and stops in the middle of the installation?

    Why windows XP run so long, on the other PC as windows loads by 3 times faster!

    My PC is Satellite A300D - 14 p PSAKE8E

    If your laptop gets too hot, did you clean it?
    From time to time, you should clean your computer laptop or let's say the cooling fans.
    You can use the jet of compressed air that could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. So I clean my laptop if it of necessary.

    And what do you mean with Windows XP works on another PC 3 times faster?
    Maybe the PC has a hardware configuration that is faster than the Satellite.
    To improve performance, you can do many things: defragment the HARD disk, remove all unnecessary programs, clean the registry, disable some services, check automatic startup programs in msconfig and so far.

  • Satellite L300-PSLB8E - screen becomes all white and the laptop freezes

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB8E. I initially bought with Windows Vista already installed on it. After a few years, I changed the operating system Windows 7 Ultimate. I installed the display and all the other necessary drivers (that is, sound, network, etc.).

    After I installed Windows 7, when I use the laptop for a while, the screen becomes all white and the laptop hangs. This happens spontaneously. Sometimes, in less than 10 minutes and other times that it can work perfectly for hours. I checked for loose batteries and other components, but everything seems fine.

    Physical damage only that there is a tiny crack on the screen in the bottom right of the screen. The operating system is not good? If I put windows Vista back as it was?

    Please advise and help understand me what the problem is with the laptop.

    Until we start discussion can you tell me what you do when this happen?
    Hard stop and restart?
    Is everything OK again when you do?

    It is not easy to say what exactly is the problem, but I put t think there is problem with OS and preinstalled display driver. A long time ago I installed Win7 Home Premium on friends L300 and it works perfectly.

    What you can try is to use the external monitor for a while and see if everything works well. If so, there is no problem with the operating system, drivers or graphics card. It may be that the display problem.

  • "due to an unidentified problem, windows cannot display windows firewall settings" fixed but still can not visit some sites and the laptop now turns off the coast on me. What should I do?

    I have an Apire one laptop with Windows xp service pace 3. I had to restore it to factory about 3 years ago. Some time after that the sound system began to slow and the Synaptics mouse stop working properly. I can move the pointer, but the left click does not work. It works in safe mode but not in normal windows. I used the Acer eRecovery for correct, but it did not work. I tried to download the driver for the mouse on the internet, but some how it could stop the download. I gave up at tring to fix. Some time in late March or early April, I couldn't access internet and after 22:30. I ran the diagnosis that is provided by internet explore and he said that the HTTP and HTTPS worked but the FTP did not work. AVG later told me my firewall is disabled and there was the possibility to reactivate it and I did. After internet explore stop allowing you to enter certain sites that I wanted to enter, I ran the Diagnostics again and he told me that a firewall client has been the cause of the problem. I tried to control my firewall setting, but had that "due to a problem not identified, windows cannot display the firewall settings". I thought AVG was the problem, so I have unintalled then he returned and attempted to access the firewall but got the same message. I typed in Google MySapce and found this site. I followed a few directions given to others in the thread started by joecarpenter33 and discovered that my firewall has been deleted and Base filtering engine has been deleted also. I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes ANti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition and tdsskiller. MBAM has found a Trojan. The results of the analysis is less to:
