Satellite L300D - 02Q - weird fan noise

• Satellite L650 1NC - the fan noise

  I bought the laptop in February 2011 and the fan noise deteriorated over time, now. I've read many threads in this forum and elsewhere about this problem and I think that the problems are basically the same.

  Now that I've read some that messages stating that the new BIOS, released in September have apparently solved the problem, I did a BIOS update (Version 2.3) to meet the same problem again.

  The fan stops when the temperature is below a certain threshold, in my case according to CoreTemp it seems to be at about 50-55 ° C. At the moment the fan turns off, which is also confirmed by the monitor of health indicating the 0% fan speed.
  This leads to the CPU temperature increases until the fan is used to about 55-60% fanspeed.
  This process repeats every 15-20 seconds and is very annoying.

  It gets worse, but if I start to actually do something like a request to open from the web browser - nothing serious, really, I don't want to start even complain about the noise while game/watch movies.
  The fan speed will be 70-75% as soon as the CPU gets the work to be done.
  The noise that results is unacceptable for 20-30 seconds.

  Noise is an important factor for me. At the University I can't use it as my fellow students are too distracted by its noise. To work my colleagues began to complain as well.
  As I use my cell phone while being out of my own office/home it is basically useless for me now.

  Has anyone else still issues after the recent updates to the BIOS?
  Is there a way to put the fan always runs at around 30-40%?

  All opinions are appreciated.

  Hello

  Cooling module performance depend on the internal temperature.
  If the temperature arise at a higher level, the fan must turn more quickly to prevent equipment overheating it's usual behavior.

  But you can try to change some Windows 7 power management settings.
  This will reduce the performance of the CPU and the dissipation of the heat and that should slow down the activity of the fan too.

  Here is instruction how to change the Windows 7 power management.

• Satellite L850-13D - the fan noise

  My l850-13d satellite fan still works when the laptop is connected in AC mode, but in MS mode the fan only works when the CPU temperature is greater than 50º Celsius.

  I would like to know if this is normal or not.

  Thank you.

  Of course, it's normal.

• Satellite L555-10R - annoying fan noise

  For a long time, I ve been having this problem with my laptop: when I have a Skype video call, watch TV Online, or sometimes with video files, the fan also sounds as he works hard, and the people I have video calls with also complain that they heard this annoying noise.

  But lately it has gotten worse, and sometimes the laptop stops. I guess it's a kind of defence against overheating, mechanism (?)

  How to deal with this problem?

  Hello

  If you have this problem for a long time, why you didn t contacted Toshiba service and clarify this?

• Aspire V3 - 772G weird fan noise after cleaning

  Let's start with:

  Acer Aspire V3 - 772G (Intel (r) ore (TM) 4702MQ-i7 CPU @2. 20 GHz, 8 GB Ram)

  I don't care:

  After noticing a slight decrease in preformance of games and use my laptop in general so I decided to clean the fans. As this laptop is almost impossible to open I decided to clean the easy way, to the breath of compressed air directly into the fan on slow breaths and infrequent. After a lot of dust in the system I turned on the computer laptop back only to hear this reading 'cd' - as the hiss of the left side of the laptop (where the fan is). Be worried, I could have broken something that I turned it off stright, and then again once realize there was not much i could do about it at this time.

  I worry that I have could have spun the fan to fast, the cause, the fan did not have this noise when I bought it new or before I cleaned it for this love. It was purchased in a shop online Norwegian (I live in Norway) to 2014-08-18.

  I thought I ask here before that I contacted the store or the support to see if it's just me an overreaction or if there is a real problem. So is quite normal or abnormal as the dust recently got cleaned?

  Thanks for reading my message, and I look forward to responses from you guys.

  I have blown many laptops and spun very fast fans and was never killed. I usually blow just so good. You could have dislodged something that doesn't blow out and rubs on the fan.

• Satellite A30 714 cooling fan noise

  I have an A30 714 and due to the high temperature of the portable computer, the fan is on 90% of the time. It is very noisy. It is also the energy consumption when working with batteries. Does anyone have a suggestion about the possible problem and solution?

  Thank you

  Hi Fernando,

  From your description, I suspect that there is some malware running on your A30 which is causing the CPU to process at a higher than normal rate, so the high activity of the fan and the autonomy of the batteries.

  I suggest that you scan your A30 for virus/spyware/malware, etc. using a utility such as ADAWARE and SPYBOT (both are free and can be downloaded if you have not already installed).

  I also suggest that you start the Task Manager and check exactly what percentage is actually using your CPU and what services/applications are actually being run.

  Kind regards

• Satellite 2450 S203 fan noise problems

  Hi guys

  I had a Sat 2450 S203 since October 2003 and have recently noticed that whenever I run memory intensive programs fan noise levels are excessive and constant!

  If someone could Advisor on the replacement of the fan and know if I should do it myself. Please also comment on the impact on costs as well. Are there other ways around to get rid of this problem?

  Hello

  After this long period, your device must be cleaned properly. I guess that dust inside the unit don't allow adequate cooling and cooling fan must often runs and faster to cool the hardware components. It is not only specific for your device, but for all laptops.

  I'm sure that after cleaning, your device can take a deep breath and will work a lot better and calmer. I noticed the same thing with my Satellite P20. After cleaning the laptop runs very quiet and cooling fan just works sometimes. I'm very happy now.

• Satellite A500: update BIOS V1.50 is fan noise problem reappears

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 with fan noise problem.
  It has been partially resolved the upgrade of BIOS from v1.20 to v1.30, according to this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46719&start=0&TSTART=0
  

  Yesterday I updated the BIOS v1.50, and the sound of the fan returned.
  I do not recommend this upgrade if you have had the problem of fan noise.
  

  I have downgrade BIOS v1.30 and fan noise problem is solved again.
  I know that people have problems to get the downgrade to BIOS, so I describe the process in this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=50577&TSTART=0

  Thanks mate for sharing this with us

  But perhaps you could use the v1.5 BIOS and could reduce or reduce the activity of module cooling in Vista/Win7 power management settings.
  It would be interesting to check it out

  In any case thank you for this info

• Re: Satellite A200-1 t 0 - the fan noise & purchase spare fan & replacement

  Hello

  My Satellite A200-1 t 0 made noise bad uncomfortable even on cold start.
  I tried to clean up the use of household vacuum without removing cabinets, always, she improved marginally.

  What I need to replace the cooling fan?
  I looked on the internet I couldn't find out where to buy the replacement cooling fan.
  I found a link as below, but it is mentioned that for AMD processor but mine in Intel Core 2 Duo.
  http://www.Amazon.co.UK/Toshiba-Satellite-A200-1To-compatible-processors/DP/B005TTJ62U
  Not sure if it would be compatible.

  I'll be able to buy this Toshiba?

  Please kindly advice how to solve this problem of fan noise.

  Thank you

  Hello Jay

  Satellite A200 is old model of laptop, and I can imagine that the fan cooling and air conditioning grill are full of dust.
  Before changing anything your laptop must be completely disassembled and cleaned. I did this several times in the past and I must say that my books were much quieter than before. After the cooling system will work properly and laptop will be able to take a breath.

  I put t know if you know someone who can help you with this. Please don't spend your money for new parts. At a first professional portable make cleaning.

  Please send comments.

• On Satellite A205-s5852 fan noise

  Hey
  I have a month old Satellite A205-s5852, the fan is sometimes very quiet and you can not hear it and at the same time, it goes to full spin, creating a noise or a couple of seconds, then it becomes quite new.
  This cycle occurs every time when the laptop is on. I was wondering if such a thing is normal.

  > fan is sometimes very quiet and you can not hear it and at the same time, it goes to full spin, creating a noise or a couple of seconds, then it becomes quite new. This cycle occurs every time when the laptop is on. I was wondering if such a thing is normal.

  Is nothing unusual because the fan starts to spin when the temperature rises to a higher level.
  The laptop with a stronger CPU, GPU, HARD drive, etc. produce more heat than other portable weaker and therefore these laptops must be cooled very often as a laptop which was equipped with a low level CPU, GPU or HARD drive

  Second heat dissipation depends on the use of the laptop. High performance software needs of more material resources and so the pieces of equipment to operate with higher performance and produce more heat.

  Finally and above all the power options settings can modify the behavior of cooling and can reduce the rotation, but generally this means that your material would reduce the performance to make sure that the heat dissipation would be less.

• On Satellite P850 - 30Q fan noise

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite P850 - 30Q a week ago and overall, I love the machine, nice design, good performance, great speakers... BUT:

  The FAN NOISE is driving me crazy? I had a lot of laptops different in my life, but never experienced something like this. Normally I don't notice not the fan, but this laptop I noticed that the fan.

  At idle, I can hear the HARD drive - I can live with that.
  Fire use, desk and surf the internet and as the fan lights up now and then to 53% and really loud! -Its disturbing when I'm trying to study?
  When I play games the fan is 53% permanently, and after like 5-15 min, to happen to + 80%, what is really strong? -I can live with the fan when I play games, but not when I study or use it for use of the lamp in the train or the school.

  Am I the only one to go through this?

  If there is no resolution, I will return the product to the store. Its just sad when I like the rest and despite the fan Im happy on this issue.

  Hope you can help.

  > great but when I play games it rattles

  Have you noticed the usual fan noise or noise appears as something wrong with ball bearing cooling fan would be?

  It s nothing unusual as fans of cooling would turn faster everything!
  While gaming, the GPU and the CPU produce a lot of heat. This increases the temperature and therefore the propellers rotate faster. Here's how it works!

  But if the fans create an unusual sound, then that would mean that the cooling module may be defective and THIS should be verified by technicians is why would I wait not for any solution, but IF it's a hardware problem, the solution is just a replacement of parts.

• Satellite Pro P100-465: fans make noise

  Hello

  I have a P100-465 running XP Pro top. I've had the laptop about 6 months now and the only thing I noticed about this laptop is that it's SO noisy. When you use the laptop, the fans come on and goes off constantly... even if I'm not hungry for resources. is this normal? I understand that the machine is powerful, but I can't believe that this is normal.

  I use to have a P25-S670 and fans use to come every now and then to keep the freshness of the machine, but this new laptop is INCREDIBLY annoying. As I type this the fans turn on and off every few seconds. Looks like fans RPM increases significantly, but only for a second or two, then it goes down. In the BIOS, I even put the option for silent mode instead of the performance mode, but this made no difference. I'm running the latest drivers and firmware.

  Can someone help please it makes me NUTS! ;-) Is there a way to control the fan speed and noise Windows? I remember my P25 I could change the power in silent mode options and it made quite a big difference.

  Hi mate,

  already cleaned your cooling system? Maybe this could be the point because these small ventilation systems are likely to be clobbed by the dust after a while of running.
  One idea would be to give your machine a technician and ask him to clean your machine and put a new grease cooling on the CPU.

  That should help prevent your machine from overheating or excess of fan noise.

  See you soon

• Satellite A660-12 t / A660-1FL - which we have less fan noise?

  A couple of days, I received my brand new Toshiba A660 12 t. Everything is perfect except the noise from the fan. It is particularly strong for me that I often use the laptop in the library. For simple tasks, the fan runs between 59% and 67%. I tried different things to play with the power settings for the Bios upgrade and graphics card but nothing has changed.

  Now I want to go back and change it with the Toshiba A660-1FL. Why this one? Two laptops have the same characteristics and the same price except the graphics card and the CPU. mine comes with Nvidia 330 m and I5-430. on the other side, the A660-1FL comes with the integrated Intel GMA HD and the I5 - 460.
  I thought that maybe the graphics card is the reason!
  Does anyone know if the fan noise will be reduced if I use a less dedicated graphics card? Should I change? in this case the GMA HD is a good graphics card?
  If someone uses a Toshiba A660-1FL, could you please tell me if the fan is strong?

  I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance

  Hello

  NVidia GPU is a powerful graphics card, and especially these maps are designed for games.
  The GPU from Intel is also a good graphics chip, but it of not powerful as the nvidia chip.
  The nVidia chip would allow the current apps much smother but it creates more heat.

  This would affect the cooling fans which means that the fans would go more quickly and often.
  So, theoretically the laptop with Intel GPU should be a little more quiet.

• Satellite L300D-135 - some keys stop working after a few minutes

  Satellite L300D-135 (PSLC8E-02P013EN) portable model, boot cold keyboard is fine. As things warm up the keys R and there stop responding as do 7890 keys. May be heat related.

  The keyboard has been replaced, old and new are doing the same thing, so it's more like a controller issue. Have flashed the latest BIOS as saw talk of the keyboard problems in one of the versions of the BIOS. The end user has been tolerated for a few months, but now, Dyslexic child needs to use the laptop and cannot deal with dead keys.

  Any ideas? Laptop is 2 weeks out of warranty and user end just asked me to take a peek, problem has been around for the warranty period.

  Hi Phil

  Can you notice the question even if you connect an external keyboard or this only happens with an intern?

  I can t imagine it has something to do with the heat, but if you want you can clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.

  If this isn't the case, you must replace the entire keyboard. Normally it of not so expensive so Don t you worry not about it. You can also ask your ASP if they can repair as a gesture of goodwill.

• Satellite L300D - does not load after the BIOS update

  I had to update my bios & it seems that that wrong has been downloaded about 3% by installing the laptop just die and not to revert to.

  There is no lights & there is no noise from the laptop at all.

  Can any ideas on how I fix?

  The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L300D

  Hello

  Well, if the BIOS update crashed you can do anything because the ROM module needs to be reflashed. This is possible only with special tools and only an authorized service provider has such tools.

  Then please contact the nearest service Toshiba and ask for help :)
