• Satellite L505-13F - overheating problem?

  Hello

  Nearly a year after the purchase of a Toshiba Satellite L505-13F, I started noticing problems with temperature (it starts goes to 70º, sometimes more, hitting 89º), even had the computer just turned off (not the right way through the windows, instead, in an instant, it's on, the other is off when it hits 90 degrees). I bought a cooling rack to keep the computer at low temperatures, but the position is not so good and temperatures get brought to 60º at best, but does not solve the problem temporarily.

  Usually, I have Skype (normally I'm not on a call so the cpu is not dope, but I the ocasional call), msn, irc, have a program to check emails regularly (thunderbird) and have firefox open. Maximum CPU spikes or 32% with all these open (normally this is 9 to 14% or more), so I don't think it's any problem related to the massive processing (but like anything else, sometimes it stings to the largest percentage, but not so much that, nor for as long). I use all these at the same time. Because of the temperature problem, I installed an app to regularly check the State of the system.

  The problem is internally in the computer, I guess it's maybe because the fan is stuck or something. I clean the dust when it's time, but it also solves the problem temporarily (I do not open the housing of the computer, however, because it is under warranty and I don't want to void the warranty or break the computer). I would like to find a more permanent solution without having to buy anything else I don't think it's the right solution for the problem.

  The computer was purchased in 2010 and the warranty is 2 years, so I guess it's possible to send the computer to fix, but I'm not aware of the procedure of this situation.

  After showing the problem, the question is: what are the steps required to check this problem? I have to send the laptop to the store (where I bought it) to send to toshiba or what I need to send it to me?

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  PS: I'm an advanced user, I do a lot of things with the computer, but I can survive a few days without computer (maybe: P)

  Dust and debris are the main reasons why the laptop overheats. Dust inside the cooling modules prevent fans turn faster which affect the cooling and leads to a higher temperature.
  So, as you said; withdrawal of aid of dust that you and this should be made from time to time.

  It is a temporal solution for you, you say? Hmm, I do not know how you want to use the laptop is a room free of dust? Only this would prevent the dust of cooling modules.

  I have to clean my laptop using a jet of compressed air. This allows and does not affect my warranty.

• Satellite L505-13F - impossible to activate the wireless connection

  Hello, I have connectivity problems with my Satellite L505-13F.

  I can't turn on the wireless connection. I press Fn + F8 and nothing happens. The indicator at the bottom of the laptom turns on.

  I though this would be a problem with the drivers. I downloaded realtek wlan driver here [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads], but it has not installed correctly. Then I used the toshiba software installer, but yet again, nothing has changed. I have Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.

  Device management, I have seen that I installed a wifi driver. (Realtek RTL8191SE Wirelless Lan...) So, what the problem is?

  Any suggestions?

  Hey,.

  Something happens if you press other keys FN or FN + F8 doesn't work only? Normally with this key combination you can enable/disable wireless network card.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know what happens if you are looking for WLAN networks. You see your WLAN router?

  If all the keys FN n t work, reinstall the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards. Otherwise, it could be another problem and you should reinstall the driver again and make sure the firewall isn't blocking the connection.

  See you soon

  Satellite L505-SP6934R

  I have replace the Windows 7 operating system with windows XP Pro. Everything works fine except for the SM Bus controller I m unable to find. I have already installed the Intel GM45 Express Chipset and all the drivers available on the Toshiba site.

  The SATA controller in the bios is set to compatibility mode. I tried to change the mode of compatibility without success. Is there a way to do this, if so, what are the benefits?

  Thank you for all your support AJ

  Hello

  To activate the controller sata AHCI mode in BIOS, try to download and install Storage Manager.
  The SMBus Controller is part of the Intel chipset that monitors the temperature and voltage card of your system. Install the chipset driver for this problem. Have a look here:

• Regognises Satellite L505-13F as a series L500 TEMPRO.

  Hello

  Software Regognises TEMPRO my laptop to the 13th L505 as a L500,

  This touch updates and optimization?

  Rgrds

  Hello

  I put t think that this will affect the updates or any system optimization.
  Still, that Satellite L505 belongs to the series L500 and Tempro informs you that the version of the driver on the driver page.

  It s not a challenge to make an update! It s just a notification and, in my opinion it s not necessary to update all the drivers if you have no problems!

• 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 L505-13F - ATI drive update

  Hello.
  Anyone know how to update the driver ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5165?
  In the Web of Toshiba site we don't have only one pilot and it's from 03/05/10, and in the Web of ATI site they have support for Toshiba laptops!
  It's really annoying... Why Thoshiba laptop cannot be supported by the ATI site!
  The drivers they provide is outdated.
  If anyone has better drivers, say so. I have much apreciate!
  Thank you!

  Hello

  Toshiba says to use the drivers of Toshiba page that they will be modified to support the protection against overheating...
  But you can try to install Ati driver on the ATI site from Device Manager. Go to editing adapter nursery-display of the device driver. Choose the downloaded file and try to install. I don't know, if you can update what I haven't checked myself

• 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

• Satellite L505 - 10 X cooling fan does not work

  Dear friends, good computer Toshiba Satellite L505 - 10 X Day.My laptop cooling fan does not work. The CPU temperature is not displayed in the application of PC health Monitor. Kindly guide me to solve this problem, cordially, Siva

  Simply because the temperature is not mentioned in the Toshiba Health Monitor, it doesn't mean, that the cooling fan is not working properly.

  You can hear fan running cooling?
  The laptop is turned off unexpectedly?

  In my opinion if the cooling fan would not properly work, internal temperature should rise very quickly at a critical level... in this case that the laptop must close automatically...

  But if the device does not turn off and if you are still able to use it properly, so I doubt that there is a problem with the cooling module.

• Satellite L505 - 10 M - fan does not start

  I have a problem with my Satellite L505 - 10 M.

  Suddenly the fan does not start over and because of this, the laptop get quickly overheated and stops. I installed Windows 7 top me, quite some time ago, and this time it was 2 weeks ago while it just happened this evening. I have not installed anything new and nor I did something special with him, he just does not start fan more.

  I checked this forum, cannot find anything either, searched and could not find any problems with Linux and the fan, but not Windows (it does not start at the start of the bios either).

  If anyone has a thought, a similar experience or a solution, it would be really useful

  Greetings,
  JanPieterz

  Hey Buddy,

  You have installed Windows 7 Microsoft disc or Toshiba Recovery disk?

  Well, if the fan doesn't start anymore, you can t a lot and I think that the fan needs to be replaced.
  What you can do is load default settings in the BIOS (press F9 key in the configuration of the BIOS) and save settings. Also clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air, maybe the fan will be blocked by the dust.

  If he doesn t it work s time to contact a technician for laptop. If your laptop is under warranty, the repair will be free. :)

• Satellite L505-13W - FN keys were not and touchpad problem

  Hello everyone,

  I have two questions and I'd highly appreciate your help.

  First, when I got the laptop he used to have a Fn bar that comes down from the top of the screen when I press the Fn, it shows all the keys Fn, now it disappeared. I need to get it back, I almost tried everything and nothing is there yet.

  Second, the touchpad is a zoom no more when I apply the 2 fingers in and out, he used to do that before.

  My laptop is Satellite L505-13W

  Thanks in advance

  Hi abdouni,.

  1. I think that the problem is related to Toshiba Value added Package, and Flash Cards Support utility. These two tools control FN keys and cards Flash appears if you press the FN key.
  You can download it from the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Regarding the installation: first remove these two tools and reboot the laptop. Now, install the package of added value and stop and start again. Install the Flash Cards Support utility and do a restart. Now, the FN keys should work again.

  2. it could be related to value added package too to check my ad.
  If it s does not work, reinstall the driver for the touchpad.
