• Satellite C855-12Z - strange noise, even if the cooler is off

  Hello again,

  I have a toshiba satellite c855 12z and I heard a strange noise even if toshiba pc health monitor shows that the heater is off, it's like an air blowing inside the laptop, you need 2 coolers? or can it be the hard drive? When I bought the laptop was very quiet, now I always hear this noise...

  Help please

  It's always hard to talk about things that are not verified...
  There are two things that could create a noise: cooling fans or HARD drive.
  Cooling fans are not DISABLED the cooling module can run at a lower speed, but it is not completely off.

  HARD drive runs too, but it should not create noise if the HARD drive is OK

• Compatible motherboards for Satellite C855

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite C855 - 12K, I've owned for about 3 years, but 2 weeks ago I accidentally damaged the motherboard, while I was cleaning the computer, at first I thought it was the map screen or video that is broken, because it was weird (cutting, 20 seconds after loading desktop, colorful pixel, thin lines across the entire screen) but after 5 times of commissioning , disabling display, I left alone.
  The next day it would not start at all, so I sent it to a really good computer technician, who called me the next day, saying that the motherboard is dead, and that he needs a new.

  When I was cleaning it, I watched a video on youtube, which shows how to open Toshiba Satellite C855-12J or something, (not the C855 - 12K, I) but I noticed that the chassis is the same, the size of the motherboard is the same. That's why I'd love to not put a motherboard C855 - 12K in my C855 - 12K, but something more powerful, with more performance, because I want to play newer games, but I don't want to sell my C855 and buy a new computer, I would upgrade this computer instead.

  So, there are motherboards for C855, who have a better CPU / GPU that C855 - 12 K, if there are, could you show me a list of computers that come with them? Maybe there are motherboards from other computers Toshiba, that match?

  Thanks in advance.

  Because of the design specific notebooks are specific products and, in general, some radical physical upgrades are not possible. Each hardware platform has some cooling system designed for optimal to protect equipment.

  Each laptop model also has specific design and different ports placed at different locations.
  For example, Satellite C855 was offered with 6 different hardware platforms. With other words, with 6 different motherboards that may have different hardware (CPU, GPU, WLAN, BT) but also other ports on the left and right.

  Each authorized Toshiba, but also independent repair shops for laptop, will exchange defective motherboard with the same motherboard model. Some little compatible mothers are not available.

  Motherboard is very expensive, so you need to check the price and see if it's worth paying a lot of money to get it repaired. Four years ago my A300 was electro shock by connecting the external USB device. The repair was extremely expensive, so I sold it on eBay for spares and bought again a Satellite P500.

• My Satellite C855 fan - 17 c is overheating 90%

  Satellite C855 - 17 c
  Reference: PSKCCE-02G004FR

  Please can you help me?

  My computer fan began to overheat at 90%, say even sometimes to shutt it down
  Don't know what to do, my computer is fairly new, less than a year. purchased June 2012.

  can you help me?

  Thank you

  On this virtual path, we cannot say what may be the problem, but maybe your laptop must be cleaned. We put t know how use you it, but after almost a year, it is possible that pretty much dust can be inside and if the cooling rack is blocked with led laptop cannot be cooled properly.

  What you can try is to use compressed air and try to clean the fan and cooling the cooling rack.
  Otherwise you can contact Toshiba and they can do professional cleaning (laptop will be disassembled and cleaned).

  By the way: do the quick test. Start the laptop and enter the BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and check if the cooling fan will start to operate after a few minutes.

• The satellite C855 - raised average temperature and fan speed

  Hello!

  I got this toshiba Satellite C855 since March this year. It is only recently that the CPU temperature and the speed of the fans have been worrying me.

  When I'm not playing games or doing a livestream my CPU temp is about 35-40% with the regular 50% fanspeed or not on because she was cool.

  When I play games however the fanspeed is up around 66 to 68% with the central unit was 55-60%

  I was wondering if this is normal? or I have to clean it by taking it apart. If it's the second option then I'm worried because I don't want to damage anything inside. In addition, I'm not bad with the inner workings of a computer.

  Any help or information would be greatly appreciated thanks.

  In my opinion there is no reason to panic. T is the logic which is higher under stress, activity of the CPU and CPU produces more heat. Laptop needs to be cooled correctly, so the sensors that control the cooling fans sign up for increasing temperature and cooling fans run on higher speed.

  There is no reason for cleaning. And one day if this must be done please don t do it alone. You are not allowed to do this.

• Satellite C855-1U7 - activity strange fan while playing games

  Hello

  I played fifa14 for a long time, my laptop had the necessarily system requirements to play and my bios is the last, often my fan started working for many, up to 85% and 74ºC cpu temperature, it is normal because of the game, but in some time the fan stops and stops again and restart, restarts again until the game begins to become slowly.

  I already have the game of repair and find viruses, but nothing wrong.

  Pc health monitor indicates that everything is ok with cpu, I also have an external cooler with 2 fans.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Thank you to

  Satellite C855-1U7

  Hello
  Fan activity depends on the temperature inside the laptop.
  But of course the activity described fan (, also, on, off) seems really odd to me.
  However, there are not a lot of options that could be controlled.

  First of all the details of fan activity and the information is stored in the table fan. Table fan is part of the BIOS.
  You could try the BIOS to the default settings and you might check if BIOS can be updated using the new version of BIOS (if available).

  I think you can also try to reduce the CPU performance changing settings in the Windows power options.

  I m wondering why you use external cooling pad?
  It is essential for cooling and the laptop overheating without the use of this external cooling pad?

• Satellite C855-149 - update the display driver

  Hello.

  I don't know if it's good advice, but.

  I have a Satellite C855-149 and I wanted to know if the drivers are not been day or if im supposed to download them also.

  I see that the latest version is from 09/2013, but AMD Web site shows that my graphics card (amd radeon hd m 7610, which is apparently the standard radeon hd 7xxxxm). I reinstall my windows soon, so I just wanted to know.

  It is the same for all drivers (as 90% of them are from 09/2013, which seems a bit old).

  Is that display drivers update is not offered so often and there is a reason for that. Newer versions offer better performance and it can be quite complicated for mobile machines.
  Mobile machines have some cooling system designed for optimal cooling equipment.
  More results with more heat and result could be overheating or turn off suddenly.

  Driver on Toshiba support page is tested and also suitable for use on a mobile device, so it is strongly recommended to use drivers supported only.
  A very interesting paper on the installation of the third party drivers, you can read here.

  By the way: can you please tell us which of operating system you are using and what version number preinstalled AMD driver display?

  Hi Tony,.

  On the Toshiba download page you can download the latest version of the BIOS only. Unfortunately there is no option for older versions of IDF.
  What you can try is to contact the Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for help. They have access to the database of the BIOS, and they can get the old version for you.

  now the pc running either party but not nothing DON'T get PAST...

  What should do?

  + The message was edited: message has already been translated.

  From my point of few the EPROM module must be re-flashed once more with special BIOS crisis recovery disk.

  Usually, this procedure could be done only by authorized service provider available in your country.

  But I found an interesting announcement about how to flash the BIOS on U400 series.

• Reinstallation of Win7 on Satellite C650-15U

  Hello everyone,
  I have a Satellite C650-15U with preinstalled Windows 64-bit Home Premium.
  Unfortunately, the HARD drive crashed a few days ago. I had the time to save my documents
  and the most important files on a SD extern but I don't have a copy of the HDDRecovery.
  Windows is no longer accessible.
  In addition, I have the laptop for 4 years, the license key sticker is now unreadable...

  So I intend to buy a new HARD drive, but how can I reinstall everything?
  Apparently I can order a DVD of online backup for 35,90 EUR, but does that include the W7 license?
  What is the equivalent of the HARD drive recovery which has been installed on the D: partition?
  This means that I will not need the key because it is on the same laptop and will be ordered with the serial number?

  Thanks for your help!

  When you order the original installation disc of recovery, you will get an original copy of the created for your model of laptop recovery image.
  With other words, you will get the same OS version active that you got with your laptop.

  After installing the OS (recovery disk) your laptop will have once again the factory and recovery image parameters copy on the D partition.

  Believe me that it is the best and easiest for you.

  You can order the original installation disc of recovery on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

• Satellite C855-12N and Ubuntu 12.04 - stop questions

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite C855-12N with new installed Ubuntu 12.04. My problem stops the system when the power adapter is connected. System stops, but after 3 seconds starts automatically again. Such a problem does not exist when the computer only works with the battery with the AC adapter / CC disconnected.
  I removed the battery from the computer, and this problem when the adapter is connected also exist.

  In addition, just for your information, keyboard is not working properly, it seems that the keyboard has been damaged for example when pulling 'a' letter 'q' appears, some keys don't work. Now I use only the USB keyboard. I would like to change the keyboard for the new service, but if there are other possible damage (. e.g. card mother AC adapter, connection, etc.) more serious problems can occur. Could you give me some advice how recognize the source of damages?

  Best wishes

  Hi Michal

• Stack Bluetooth can not be installed properly on Satellite C855 - 29M

  Hello

  I just reinstalled Win 7 on my Satellite C855 - 29 M and have installed the downloaded drivers on the Toshiba site, which worked well. I had an unknown device in Device Manager that I discovered was because I needed to install the bluetooth stack.

  I downloaded and installed bfdp-20130924160827, then bltstk 20130924152252, as suggested on these forums, but after restarting the laptop, it will load Windows, then restart, then asks to use repair or start windows normally.

  None of these options worked so I have to use F8 know last good config that worked and when the laptop started to the top there was a message about the bluetooth stack with a missing file. I uninstalled battery bluetooth redownloaded and reinstalled but it's same thing.

  Any ideas guys?

• Satellite C855 - low RTC battery

  Bought a brand new Satellite C855 7 months, now get a RTC battery low warning, every time I start, have to reset the date and time. The laptop battery says fully charged, but if I unplug the portable charger will turn off.

  > The laptop battery says fully charged, but if I unplug the portable charger will turn off.

  This means that the main battery is empty and is probably damaged.
  Empty main battery would affect the RTC battery too. So I think that you need to replace the main battery first and then the RTC battery for a longer period of time while the mobile computer is turned on.

  The laptop seems to be covered by the warranty (if its 7 months) so the battery must be replaced in warranty conditions.

• Need BIOS for Satellite C855 binary file

  Hello

  Toshiba UE driver page provides only focused on the Win BIOS version.
  This means that the BIOS update can be run Windows System.

  But I found on Toshiba WE packages driver BIOS page containing both versions.
  http://support.Toshiba.com/drivers

  But the fact is that you will not find a European model of mobile on the Toshiba U.S. driver page.
  So in this case, you will need to find a Satellite C855 we model equivalent to the European model.

• Satellite C855 - white screen after BIOS update

  Hello

  I am a beginner user,
  I have Satellite C855
  Yesterday, I downloaded a 'update BIOS"that was sent to my computer.
  Since that my screen is blank, there is a hum in the background.

  I have a recovery back up on my external hard drive, but of course, the screen is blank so I don't know how the product.

  I think I must have downloaded a model or the update was not compatible.

  Hello

  White screen do you mean that nothing appears on the screen?
  You see the start screen of Toshiba, or if you are able to access the BIOS?

  Where this is not possible, try this:
  Disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery.
  Press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds.
  Then connect the two parts (batteries and AC adapter) for the laptop and try to turn on the unit.

  In case this would not solve the problem of the laptop, I'm scared of m the BIOS update was not completed successfully and I think that only authorized Toshiba service provider would be able to help you.
