Satellite C660-223 - system caution: "" problem with cooling detected system "".

When I carry my Satellite C660-223 somewhere for example wear at home to College in a protective case in my backpack, I sometimes get a window warning flashing upward every 20 seconds or so said system + "warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." Please turn the computer off immediately and return it for service. +

This only happens when I transported somewhere and as a first step, that these warnings system flashed only sometimes upwards after I hauled somewhere, but in the last two years, he started to get pretty much whenever I took the laptop somehwere. When the system warnings blink until the computer doesn't feel a little warmer than normal. no danger of overheating, immediately.

I didn't fix it because the problem seems to resolve itself the next time that I carried the computer somewhere. It's a very strange problem where the short-term solution was the same as the cause: as in I would take the laptop somewhere, the warning system flash upwards and I learned that take "for a walk" would fix somehow everything which was the 'problem '. I solved the problem in this way too often so he could be a coincidence.

So for a while it wasn't really a problem because I just didn't take the laptop anywhere. But the warning system has recently start flashing to the top if I wear just the laptop on the floor, and the warning system does not disappear with my method incredibly non-tech-savvy to "go for a walk", which I am sure many here would give something to laugh :).

The obvious answer is that I need to get the service pronto thing, but I'm in the middle of final exams and the situation of tech in my house means I can't leave the laptop away for service for who knows how long when I really need to study.

Responses, I'm hoping to get are ideas as to what actually caused this problem and short-term solutions that are a little better informed that my approach "going for a walk".

I think THAT what is, is that the movement to carry your laptop around in a backpack something within the done cooling system moving out of place causing the evil TI work. I say this because, while writing this thread I was turn the laptop over and over again to get a look at the stickers on the back and the practice that seems to have "solved" the problem of warning system because this window flashes up while he was only a few minutes ago.

It seems so that all component moved his place before been moved back again by the movement to turn the laptop over and over. And I was not even take him for a walk!

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Hello

This notification may appear for different reasons.
The alert might appear due to
(1) cooling system malfunction
(2) blocked cooling vents or fans
(3) software question (VAP - added value package or BIOS)

Malfunction of the cooling system, you should contact the service agents at the difficulty.

In case of a blocked vent and fans it s enough to clean the parts using a jet of compressed air.
This allows to get rid of dust inside the cooling module.

If the vents are not blocked and you still see this message, check the application of the service station for updates on your computer. If any are found, download and install.
You can try to uninstall or update the Toshiba value added Package. This package contains a few essential tools and utilities that control the cooling system too.
Also check BIOS update.

But if you continue to receive this error, your laptop may require repair

    Hello guys

    I just got my Toshiba Satellite C660 and I have the problem with the wireless device I can't access it. When I press FN + F8 nothing happened. I downloaded from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter - windows 7 x 64, but it does not work.

    NOTE: I have problem with blutooth device also.

    Hi Wolvrine,

    Exactly, what problem you have with your wireless network card? It is disabled and if you try to activate using the FN + F8 key combination? Or you have another problem?
    Did you test if other FN keys work correctly?

    On other threads, I realized the C660 owners are disabled the Windows power management feature and it worked WLAN energy saving. Maybe it s works for you also.

  • Satellite L500: WARNING: problem with cooling system message

    Dear Toshiba

    Some may perhaps explain to me how that happens.

    We have 2 x L500 computers laptops, one was bought and activated a day of July 2010 (Computer1)
    The other was purchased 1 day later the same store and activated the same day - 1 day later (machine 2)

    Yesterday machine 1 responded with the warning message, there is a problem with the cooling system - please turn the machine off and return it for service.

    Machine 2 responded today with the exact same message, just after turning on after 4 hours OFF... an unusual situation say you or are - this sort of built in: service to generate the functionality?
    I'm not convinced it's a stroke of luck and there is nothing wrong with a machine that I could see.

    Anyway to reset every machine has solved the problem, see how long it takes to return.
    As you may have guessed, two machines are out of warranty by a few months now.

    If any of you have a similar problem, would be happy to hear from you.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    One of my friends had the Satellite L500. As far as I know the laptop works pretty well.

    I do not know if this message was created because of a software problem, but the laptop should automatically stops down if the cooling modules would not work properly and the temperature would goes up to a higher level of m

    So I recommend watching the temp for the next time level and of course, you could get in touch with a Toshiba ASP in your country if notice plu temp or a hardware problem with the module cooling

  • Satellite L50D-B-15Z problem with cooling system

    Hi, I have a laptop about a year ago. And for 5 months, I have a problem with the fans. Out and the following message is displayed:

    WARNING: A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the power immediately and return it for service.

    The strange thing is that the first time that is spent stopped working a week, then a month and finally stopped working until 3 months there now will not start.
    I have even the implied warranty of the product, but I didn't think to send because it takes virtually every week for classes. I can use it, but if I perform actions that require superior performance as playing the games or download several videos at the same time to start warming up, getting the message and if continuous closed finally down.
    What should I do and how can I solve the problem?

    Sorry if I do not quite understand. I do not speak English.

    There may be dust stuck in the heat sink.
    using compressed air to blow dust through the vent.

  • Satellite A660 - message: WARNING: a problem with the cooling system

    My laptop recenly started giving the error "Warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." Please turn off computer immediately and return it for service"- Yes the fan had stopped working and touchpad area was hot.

    So I take it on the type of service (toshiba) and must answer for fan, Mo, HARD drive, he said. Is this possible? -J' I have extended warranty, but is ' t it much? not to mention that it takes a month to get things down.

    He also mentioned that I could use the machine with a cooling pad until then if I wish.

    Any feed back?

    > Yes the fan had stopped working and touchpad area was hot.

    In this case, there is really a hardware problem.
    But I m wondering why he should replace the HARD drive and the motherboard
    Perhaps only the cooling module began at malfunction of course this is just a speculation
    If the technician has checked the material, then they need to know what parts are not OK.
    So don t think you have no choice.

    But the guarantee is valid for all is free

    All essential information on this device are already mentioned.

    This means that you have first installed the Broadcom WLan driver, then filter Broadcom BT and Toshiba BT stack

  • Satellite P300-1 year - Touchpad problem with AC adapter / CC

    I have a laptop Satellite P300-1 year and from the beginning (two weeks)
    I have a touchpad problem: it will not immediately responsive and the pointer shakes when pressing the key. Very often, it freezes for only one or two seconds.

    It's VERY annoying. A USB mouse works perfectly.
    I tried to reinstall the drivers of the ALPS, tried Synaptics ones, just try Windows Vista drivers: no way.

    Now, I found the reason: this question is present only when the laptop is powered by the AC adapter / CC.
    With the battery, the touchpad is perfect.

    I contacted Toshiba Service and thay said that they do not change the AC adapter if I don't mean before a full system restore!
    Is it not more simple just try with a new adapter and then only, if the problem persists, try more drastic procedures?

    Anyone had this same problem?

    > I contacted Toshiba Service and thay said that they do not change the AC adapter if I don't mean before a full system restore! Is it not more simple just try with a new adapter and then only, if the problem persists, try more drastic procedures?

    The point is that your laptop should be always verified using the Toshiba factory setting.
    Why? Because the ASP wants to make sure that this issue is not related to a software problem (compatibility problems with applications 3rd part). Software problems are not covered by the warranty.

    In addition the ASP will always recover the laptop before the verification of the pieces of equipment to malfunction. Therefore, you should always back up your data from the HARD disk until you send the laptop to check.

    I recommend you to reinstall the operating system using the Toshiba recover disc and then check if the problem appears.
    If yes you can contact ASP and could provide all the necessary details for only one technician.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A120: I have problems with the installation of the graphics driver for W2k

I once, install as recommended drivers that I have problems with the graphics driver because it will not be installed because it requires a reboot and then I can't install new programs that require a restart that the driver has not been installed correctly.

    The laptop is a Pro A120, age of 1 week and came with XP home, because of this toshiba will not offer me support I changed the o/s even though they obviously support 2000 on this laptop, because they provide the drivers.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Did you use and install the drivers from the Toshiba driver page right?
    The drivers of Toshiba W2k for Satellite Pro A120 have been published and are ready!

    But please pay attention to the Toshiba drivers.
    There are two different sets of Satellite Pro A120, with different drivers W2k!

    (2) ON THE VIDEO CARD:

    Also, I used an Amilo Xi 2550-8009 underpinning last week, I changed it to this Toshiba, but I am facing a problem with a game ARMA II.
    I got the error message is: 'Pixel shader compilation error', with a black screen and sound of 'ping '.
    I don't understand because I found a comparison test with a GeForce and my current HD5650 which is supposed to support this kind of thing shader.

    Have you managed to run ARMA II on your laptop? If so, what did I miss?

    Thanks in advance for your comments have fully appreciated,
    G2MARS

    Hey,.

    Generally these driver updates are not important if everything works properly. So in your case I don't install these updates if your laptop runs without problem.
    As you probably know: never touch a running system ;)

    Regarding your second question:
    Have you checked if ARMA 2 supports this graphics card? Have you installed the latest DirectX and more recent patch for this game?

    Background: Recommended for a parent, now transformed into 'support harassment ".

    The behavior of Windows Mail is displayed is non-standard and unreliable, for example:

    Creating new folders local they are initially displayed in the list of folders (left sidebar), if the mail is restarted they disappear and reappear only if they are selected after clicking on "local folders". Other than the Inbox, local folders and the Microsoft? (used for notes, etc.), all the other default folders are missing, either sent, sent, drafts box, etc.

    Another minor issue is that windows mail does not seem to recognize when the status of the internet connection changes from unavailable to available, in order to empty the Outbox and send emails, it is necessary to restart windows Messaging.

    A number of occasions, all messages disappear from your Inbox and all other folders are not available, the only solution to this problem seems to be a reboot of the laptop.

    This link seems to suggest that there is a problem with the security software which is now Norton Internet Security (configured and bundled with the laptop):

    Hello

    I can't provide an exactly the solution to this problem of Vista Mail but to me, it looks like a Microsoft Vista operating system problem and not Toshiba Satellite.
    I don t think there could be a problem with the hardware that's why we should look for solutions.

    Now you will ask where a software solution? In my opinion, you should check the knowledge base Microsoft for some useful tips.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/search/
    and the solution center in Windows Vista

    But first make sure that your Vista operating system is up-to-date and you have already installed all the updates and patches!
