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

Ernie

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 C40D-C - problems with the system

    I recently bought an a toshiba satellite C40D-C Series notebook PC as my old satellite - essentially - is dying. After you connect to the internet, I tried to download AVG Antivirus on my computer that I don't have - and never - trust McAfee anti-virus that comes with the computer. Every time downloaded AVG then restart my computer, the computer goes directly into the automatic repair system and doesn't let me do anything but to reset or restore. This has happened even with completely removed McAfee. I've been on AVG directly today (January 15), and they have to do remote set-up for me - with the same results. Yes, I'm aware that McAfee is a selfish cry of a system and refuses to acknowledge any other antivirus, but that this issue happens even with completely removed McAfee shows clearly that it is something that Toshiba has worked in the system. I can't even disable the automatic repair tool. I have to be stuck with a McAfee antivirus which, moreover, does not yet or is Toshiba will make an effort to help solve a problem they caused?

    Why this computer isn't allowing AVG Antivirus work? And why, after each attempt to download AVG, the computer goes to auto repair whenever I shut down or restart? Is this a problem with the system or something, Toshiba has done on purpose?

  • 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.

  • Satellite L500 - several problems with Windows 7

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite L500 with Vista as os. I upgraded to win 7 using the upgrade disc Toshiba that sent me. Since installing Windows 7, my laptop will freeze at any time.
    Ctrl-alt-del doesn't do anything.

    My only option is to turn it off with the power button. I installed all the drivers available on the Toshiba site, but nothing helped. In addition, since installing Win 7 the FN key does not work, the touchpad does not work and the eco utility will not work. I have checked all the drivers that I can find and reinstalled, or tried to update. I watched the mouse settings and the pointing device, and this explains his work.

    I think it is because I can not activate it with the FN - FN + F9 key. I cut the volume now with FN + ESC (couldn t a few days ago), I can use the FN key to sleep and lock the laptop, but the weak / brightness keys don't work. It seems that they only work up to F5.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    See you soon

    Hi joey,

    You will find all the information in the event viewer Windows on this gel?

    You should check the Device Manager for unknown devices or yellow exclamation. Maybe it's a driver of s problem.

    In regards to the FN keys, you need to install Toshiba Value added Package, and Flash Cards Support utility. They are required for the FN keys and then you are able to enable/disable the touchpad (FN + F9).

    Last but not least check Toshiba page for a version of Windows 7 Eco Utility.

  • Satellite L500 and problems with the Wi - Fi

    Hello people

    I'll just throw my problem there.
    First of all my details and information that can help me to help you!

    Satellite L500 running windows 7 (note: same problems when installing Vista)
    Latest drivers wireless as well as the latest drivers for everything.
    My wireless router is 1 billion active voip 7000 series sound quite good for when I got it about 2 years ago and works well.

    Basically, the problem is that the wireless on my Satellite L500 keeps dropping out. I m not more than 20 meters at most, right now I m 10 m with 1 wall in the way. I tried to make a website, and he says has fallen to either unable to find host connection.

    However other computers laptops in the same room, same place at the same time has no problem at all. Has ever.
    As soon as I'm in the same room as my router, it works again. Sometimes works if I stand right on the opposite wall.

    So basically I m thinking my card wireless in my laptop is defective or simply not good?
    Can u replace the card with another wireless? Maybe the Toshiba ones are just no good? I read so many problems with these cards Toshibas wireless...

    Anyone have any ideas? I ran out of the info you need? I repost he's again in a day or two with the types of wireless devices in every laptop.

    Hello

    For the moment, I doubt that your wireless network card is broken. Before Exchange you it you must also update your BIOS and not only the WLAN card driver. Two updates you need to download it from the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    I had a similar problem with my Toshiba laptop and WIFI connection. The problem was in the WLAN energy saving mode Windows power management. Here, you can also choose a mode for energy saving wireless network card. Turn it off, and then choose a maximum Performance.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I can't explain what happened exactly with your machine. Maybe you have installed all the updates available (important and optional). Maybe the display driver has been offered as a driver in option.

    In any case, what you can do now is follow:
    -try to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore option
    -Reinstall the display driver - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    -in the worst case, you can reinstall OS HARD drive recovery option (I hope it works)

  • Satellite L500 - some problems with the internal webcam

    Hello.

    My L500-13v is a little over a year old, but from the beginning, I'm having a lot of the built in ' USB 2.0 webcam» Sometimes it works, more often, is not, sometimes, I try to open the camera app and it says "device is locked by another application" despite not using any other application in time. When I try it on Msn or other applications, I just either get a black screen or "no device connected". I also get a pop up saying "this device can operate more quickly if connected to a hi speed usb 2.0 port" so I wonder if Toshiba have connected the camera of 2.0 to a 1.0 port internally, (at the time I thought not usb 1.0 was even used.) In Device Manager, it lists six standard usb host controllers and only two controllers to improved host 2.0). I used to always get that when I take the computer off the sleep mode. However I always stop instead of sleep, but its still a very regular, even when I use the cam, it can suddenly gives me this message and then stops working. Recently, when I click to open ""Toshiba Webcam Application"I get a blue screen saying"irql not less equal"which according to me is a hardware error." and then it auto restarts.

    This laptop is preinstalled with vista, the webcam using a microsoft driver. I contacted toshiba about this problem last year, but they only told me to install the application driver 'web cam' on their site which I had already tried in safe mode and normal mode, I do not know why they give just a standard INF file. Vista will automatically pick up their driver and continues to try to reinstall the microsoft one, I finally managed to install the driver of toshiba by manually choosing Select a driver from the list, unchecking, show compatable drivers and finding Toshiba and PanGu, but after that, I still have the same problem.

    I hope that someone more knowledgeable than me can help me with this, thanks.

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest, I would also reinstall the webcam driver but maybe you did something wrong

    So in your case I remove the current version of the webcam software and then restart your laptop. Now clean the registry using the freeware CCleaner tool which is a really nice tool to clean the system and delete the incorrect registry keys. After that, restart the computer and install the new software of the webcam of the official website of Toshiba.

    Normally after this procedure your webcam should work properly again.
    If this is not the case you should try a recovery facility, maybe something is blocking the the webcam driver who knows

  • Windows 7 on Satellite A500-1EE - problems with the system recovery

    After five years of good functioning sth went wrong. The system tries to boot but lack access to a device (HARD drive?). And then tries to download files to recover. After downloading the recovery fails and the only option is to shut down the computer. How can I recover this system?

    Recovery process is very simply.
    Did you create the recovery media (DVD)? If so you can use it for recovery image installation.
    Otherwise, you can use HARD drive recovery option (F8 > to fix your computer) and start the recovery image installation.

    Please test F8 option.

    I had kept about 30 minutes work laptop in a bag, when I'm out there in the bag, he was doing some hot.
    I now have message in windows system 7: problem with cooling and then they recommend power off immediately.

    I bought it in the United States with warranty, but I'm living in Russia. I should send it to cabinet, or maybe I can fix it in the Toshiba support centre?
    How much should I pay to repair this defect?

    Hello

    You hear a fan noise? I guess, the fan no longer works and the system asks you to stop. If this is the malfunction of the fan, you can contact a repairer approved in Russia. they can replace it easily. You should contact toshiba service center if they provide an international guarantee

    For the last two weeks my iphone 6 s and my son 6 more have had problems with sending/receiving messages in the texts of the Group and regularly comes to a voicemail.  Messages are not at all or you may be able to receive them. Then last night on a group text between me and another user of iphone and a droid user messages were not all going through and an 'unknown' appeared on the screen of the droid users as if this person has attempted to send a message to our group text but nothing was there.  Iphone users could not see it.  This morning - messages still does not go through the text of the group or on one.  Any ideas?

    SMS texts are a function of carrier

    Control an upgrade of the carrier

    If the droid user used an iPhone before having them their registration number
