Satellite L655-11j - issue of fan of Lola, fix it myself

Hey, sorry for this thread, but I wanted to share my experience with you hope it helps someone someday, as I like Toshiba and I think that it the best :)

NOTE, this is for my model only, you can have different bios and it will not work for you, so use at YOUR OWN RISK

I was playing NFS rival as always all of a sudden my laptop off, the lights were off, and it won't turn.

I unplugged he waited a while, plugged and it worked, except that the fan was working all the time @ average speed and if the laptop went to sleep mode, the fan does not at all, and an error message will appear Windows I have to take my laptop for repair because of the cooling (can not remember exactly the message)

I tired a lot nothing worked I won't explain it will take some time, I was afraid to work on my laptop with the fan always on at average speed, doing it could damage the CPU or GPU.

I re-flashed the BIOS again that solved my problem. now the fan is off, when there is some CPU or use GPU it will work at the 3 speed (low medium high) depends on the load and heat :)

but to Flash my bios again there some tweak, first of all, I could not download new cause of the bios, don't show me no result in the download page (hope someone can help with the download page http://www.toshibamea.com/en/Download-Files of fixing).

so I tried my old one I downloaded long ago, but it does not update because this is not a new version, so I extracted the exe using 7-zip, edited the file platform.ini flag from 1 to 0, I copy and you can read the explanation and execution of InsydeFlash.exe so re-flashed my bios and my fan works again :)

[Bios_Version_Check]
flag = 0

; This indicator is the Version of Bios checking switch. When the indicator is 1, utility will be
; check the Version of the Bios. If the rom Version file is older that the Bios utility will display warnning
; message and close the application. When the flag is 0, utility not to check the version of the rom file.
; When the indicator is 2, that depend on the BIOS report.

Thank you very much for your interesting thread and share your experience with your Toshi.
It's very nice that you take seriously and write clear words on the risk to do something like that.

Good luck and happy new year. :)

  • Satellite L655-11J - disabling Intel Turbo Boost Technology for heat

    My temp Satellite L655-11J used to be under full load of cpu 75 now, it's about 80 ~ 85 maybe because of the heat wave, I don't know

    I disabled the Intel Turbo Boost technology and its high value at full load is now about 68 ~ 69 and the laptop is not hot at all, and I did not notice a difference in performance, so you should try it if your laptop gets hot

    My question is there utility to disable through windows?

    null

    > My question is there utility to disable through windows?

    Usually, this must be done in the BIOS.
    But as far as I know Toshiba offer a tool called Toshiba HWSetup located in all programs-> Toshiba.
    This software allows you to change some settings in the BIOS Windows System.

    I m not very good if you the Intel Turbo Boost Technology options are available in the HWSetup utility, but you can check it otherwise you will have to change the settings in the BIOS

  • Satellite L655-158 - no cooling fan pedestal Grill

    Hi all

    Just a quick question, I am repairing a toshiba satellite l655-158 for someone and found the cooling fan grille is blocked.
    I took apart and it is just molded plastic on the other side but the fan is located directly above where the grid should be.
    It doesn't have the grid on the side to evacuate the hot air, but nowhere to slide fresh of air.

    The grill outside, but it looks as if it had not been completed at the factory if that makes sense.

    Also the heat sink is attached to the CPU and short cooling fins but does not connect to the GPU along the way that I find a bit strange considering she will work directly on it but does not connect to it and to not provide the GPU with a cooling.

    So I guess my question is, is this something supposed to toshiba do or maby a mistake at the factory.

    He finds it's the GPU which is the defective part, but looking at these defects is not surprising that the GPU has failed.

    Sorry to babble a bit but I just couldn't find any info on the internet.

    Any info on this would be a great help.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Jamie

    To be honest, I can't imagine such errors can occur. You know that every laptop manufacturer produce hundreds of thousands computers laptops and such errors are visible.

    Similar thing is on my Satellite A660. Inside, there is place for cooling but the holes are disabled.
    I just hope you're good in laptop repair and you will be able to fix a friends laptop. ;)

  • Re: Satellite L655-11J flash map F8 missing 8.1 Win

    First I searched on the internet I've read so many threads on this subject but none is regarding my problem.
    My wireless card is Broadcom 8.11n + + with ID PCI\VEN_14E4 & DEV_4727

    Is not supported by new PVAT flash cards which I had to install in Windows 8.1

    I noticed that in Windows 7 when I tried to install a new version of PVAT the F8 is missing,
    If I was stuck in an old version.

    I tied to add my ID wireless to the registry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\WirelessAPL\BT WLANDP
    as it is not listed with no luck

    I think the only way is to contact the PVAT developers and ask them to re - support my wireless again in a new version if they make one, as I badly need it disable Bluetooth wireless as well.
    Although I can turn the WIFI off but the light will stay on.
    I there is another way, can someone say I'm willing to try

    Thanks in advance

    > Is not supported by new PVAT flash cards which I had to install in Windows 8.1

    As far as I know the Satellite L655-11 isn t Win 8 taken in charge the laptop model and also 8.1 win is not supported too.

    It s are only not on this WINDOWS 8.1 - made MODELS page supported UPDATE
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/JSP/checkWindows8_1Compatible.do?service=EU

    This means that there is no 8 Win / Win 8.1 drivers for the L655 series.

    _Secondly_
    The VAP (value added package) isn't out to win 8 or 8.1 Win
    The VAP has been replaced by the system of Toshiba driver
    In addition to get the FN key works, the utility Toshiba function key to winning 8.1 must be installed.

    These two tools are needed to get the keys FN (also the F8 key) works correctly under Win 8 or 8.1 Win

    Hey,.

    Why is the result of memory too low? The score is still good scores even other parts are better.

    In addition, the Windows experience index is not important in my opinion. You can see a few numbers at the end, but what to do with it? I don't see a reason to make such a test if I convinced and satisfied with my computer. Who care about these things other landmarks? ;)

  • Satellite L655-11J - always-hard drive activity

    Toshiba please I need help

    The first round of my laptop, I entered my position, my name, and a password, I have install Toshiba updates and Windows 7 updates (notifications, I had), then I noticed that the hard drive is active all the time, and the laptop is very slow. I tried a lot of things to restore the original image of Toshiba built into the laptop and I finally did thinking maybe I did something wrong

    The hard drive remains always active (not sure what reading or writing) no monitoring for any activity very slow laptop and many search for sounds.

    any solution please, I had this problem the use first of it :(

    Hello

    You have other software or drivers after installing Windows 7 or that happen you directly after the installation of recovery of Windows 7?

    In your case I would try to disable some startup programs and if McAfee Antivirus is still installed, remove it and install another program like AntiVir antivirus.
    Then test again if you have still a lot of HARD drive activity.

    If so follow the instructions posted by Akuma.

  • Issue of fan on Satellite L655

    Hello

    I have restored my Satellite L655 Windows 7 with 2 CD I created when I bought my

    But, when I get the PC to sleep, that the fan does not start.
    The fan starts again if I restart the PC.

    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Philippe

    To be honest I don t understand your problem. As far as I know cooling fan is controlled automatically to make it work if necessary.
    >... when I get the PC to sleep, fan does not start.
    And what happens then? Can you use your cell phone as usual or what?

  • Satellite L755-11j - cooling fan seems to have stopped working

    Hello

    I have the model Satellite L755-11j and I'm really happy with it, strong, fast and reliable, I have only one problem: my cooling fan seems to have stopped working.

    I don't know if it's a hardware or software (BIOS is set to dynamic switch, and in the power management is set to 'Active') delivers, because I come from Croatia, diagnostic PC is incredibly overpriced here and I can replace the fan on my own.

    I want to just make sure I don't buy new cooling fan and my problem persists. Install speedfan and Toshiba PC health monitor only confirmed what I suspected, my laptop gets hot.

    I bought the external cooling fan to help keep the temperature of my laptop down, but with the coming of the summer that I really want to solve this problem.

    To be honest, it is not easy to help you with this. Is that cooling fan works automatically and there is not a special option where you can control. Only thing you can change is the cooling method option that you can find in the advanced power options > Toshiba power saver.

    Check it please what option is set to on. Of course on this virtual path, it is not easy to tell if the cooling fan is defective or not.
    It works or not? Can you notice hot air flow when you put your hand on the cooling grill placed on the left side of your laptop?

    > Recently I'm having all sorts of problems with internet explore, gel, also by e-mail, and more now when you turn on the laptop, it takes forever to load up and sits on a black screen for a good few minutes.

    Have you tested the laptop with fees preinsalled OS?
    It is possible that your system is confused until on the other hand, it might be possible for a kind of hardware malfunction cause this problem I m thinking about HARD drive problem

    You can test the HARD drive for errors using tools such as drive most beautiful test for example, but I recommend you to test the laptop with the new OS if its hardware or software issues installed to determine.

  • Satellite P500-1DZ - need new fan coling

    Hi all.

    I bought satellite P500-1DZ - Model - Toshiba PSPGSE in July of last year. The first 2 months were great. Since then, my fan made stronger and stronger noises. It's to the point now where just create a Web site on wix, or using any piece of software that uses the power of remote processing, the computer begins to slow down. It's like im working on a pc from the stone age. To make things worse, I bought the product in England and now live in Poland.

    I don't think I can use my warranty, simply because I can't afford to be without my computer for 2 months, while he was expelled for repair. So I opted to buy a new fan and get this replaced myself. However... There is no information anywhere regarding
    (a) what fan (s), I need to buy.
    (b) where to buy them.

    Toshiba... could you please write me to my e-mail and explain a) your return policy for fixing through the manufacturer's warranty for people who have moved to a new country. and (b) tell me where I can buy replacement fan (s) and I would like to address this issue through your warranty or my own merit.

    I want my computer ultra-fast return :(

    Hey,.

    > I bought the product in England and now live in Poland.
    This should t be a problem because you bought a European model for laptop in Europe and now you are still living in Europe. This would mean that you can contact the local authorized maintainer in Poland and seek redress. I m that guys can fix your laptop because an ASP can control all parts of Toshiba.

    Of course, you can try to fix this problem yourself but you need to know what you're doing because laptop disassembly is delicate and many parts must be removed.
    If you want to continue to do, get also in touch with an authorized service provider because they can order spares from Toshiba.

    Here is a list of the aspic:
