Satellite L655-1EM - why LED flashes all the time?

I bought a Toshiba Satellite L655-1EM this afternoon and since I have had on a light keeps flashing.

It's next to a short fat cylinder.
Any help would be appreciated, I have everything turned off and it still flashed!
My old laptop did not do that.

The LED is really bright so it is very sensitive, and it flashes even in hibernation mode.

Hello

First of all, I would recommend consulted the user manual in order to know what LED is.
I guess you mean HDD LED and this led continues to blink if data could be read or written to the HARD disk

It's not unusual companion

  • My Satellite A100 GPU fan works 100% all the time

    First: I have the Satellite A100-440 with GeForce Go 7300 and XP Professional (and Ubuntu).

    There is something wrong with thermal control. The first PC Wizard has always shown that the temperature of my GPU is "a very large number" and the fan is runnign 100% all the time (the main problem). Then I installed ATItool hoping he would show the temperature correctly. Well, it worked in part. Now when I check the temperature with PC Wizard, it indicates the temperature of the GPU normally (like 30-40 degrees celsius), but it also shows the GPU Diode temperature it's "a very large number" (as 4.294967E + 09 C) and the fan will operate at 100%.

    I tried to control fans with RivaTuner, but nothing happens.

    So if anyone has an idea how I could continue to solve the problem, I would be very grateful. I don't know if the problem is with the hardware (I could take this service) or with the software...

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Why are you talking about 'problem' and 'solve this problem?
    I see no problem!
    First of all I'm not all 3rd party applications that monitor temperatures. I'm not 100% sure if these applications provide a good values.

    However, as far as I know the laptop was shipped with Vista and not XP and Linux. You do not use a factory settings. It seems that you have set up the laptop with new applications and you should know that all the software installed and running insists on the CPU and other parts.

    BIOS fan table supports different temperature and cooling of the speed measurements. This means that if the temperature rises to a higher level, the cooling module starts and tries to decreases the internal temperature.

    Usually the temperature depends on the use of the laptop. If several processes of the OS are running in the background, that the CPU performance are high, the temperature rises and the fans start to run. There is nothing unusual about it.

    Furthermore, the dust and debris inside the laptop might have a bad influence on the laptop cooling. From time to time, it is advisable to clean the cooling modules.

    Last but not least the laptop must be placed free on table to ensure the circulation of air correctly. Don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop.

    Finally, I must say that one of my friends has an A100 and the fans run correctly.
    This means that the cooling modules works with maximum performance while playing games or using graphics software.
    However fans do not work with maximum performance using only common programs like IE software or office.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L500-1XL - high CPU usage all the time

    Hi all

    I've owned the L500-1XL for over a year now and I recently encountered a new problem: for the last few weeks, the laptop everything can become very, very slowly. Everything I do, the laptop freezes and may stop responding for a few minutes at a time. Regardless of the application I see is to do so in the process manager, stop it, but then another application steals all CPU - this isn't a particular application...

    -I'm crazy about security and make quick analyses and complete analyses frequently, including spyware and rootkits scans startup
    -I update drivers all the time, but have already re-installed all the drivers that came with the laptop and no change.
    -J' recently added more RAM and a new hard drive internal, but this problem existed before the new facilities
    -J' tried SP1 installation integrated in a Windows 7 disc and installed, and I noticed the problem of CPU for the first time then. If after that when I put in new hard drive I used the Windows Installer disc which is come with the laptop instead and in no time the problem comes back.
    -J' have uninstall the applications that I don't use and there is not a lot of new applications on my laptop that I am not familiar
    -J' tried it a bit on the internet and it is a very common problem, but I still don't know what to do

    This happened to someone? Someone at - it ideas? I would be very grateful, it starts to drive crazy me! My laptop is not my laptop when it wastes my time...!

    Hmm hard to say what's wrong here
    In the Task Manager, you can check the process that locks the CPU and use the whole performance of the CPU.
    You can google for this .exe to know what software or application uses this process.

    Theoretically, it could also be a virus

  • Satellite Pro 6100: no LED at all, the machine doesn't work anymore

    Hi all
    I have two nb, a 6000 and a 6100. Never had any probs with the 6000, but my 6100 gives me a real hard time:
    The battery has been fully charged, when out of nowhere, it froze... had no chance, but power button money to stop, something cut, two green LEDs (which is normal, right?)
    Down the silver power button to restart, nothing.
    Plugged the AC supply (because the battery is fully charged, see above...): all of THE lights is empty, no lights at all.
    Pressing the new button, NO RESPONSE AT ALL, it totally DEAD!

    What could have caused this? What can I do? any help appreciated, thanks.

    very desperate, lionmouth

    Hello

    It seems that there is a hardware error that couldn t be repaired by a biosupdate or something. You will need to bring your machine to a partner of service approved for repair/hardwarecheckup. One of my friends had a similar problem with its 6100 with exactly the same symptoms and his "mother" was defective. But at this time the machine was still in warranty so I Don t know how´s with your mobile phone.

    See you soon

  • Satellite U500-PSU9BE - fans to run all the time

    I bought a U500 - PSU9BE 10 days ago, comes with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    10 days everything was fine.
    Without changing any settings, today the fan has full throttle, as usual he is sitting on my desk with plenty of ventilation around it...
    After awhile, I opened the tool PC to see health + 90% of the activity of the fan and only 27% of the CPU temperature.
    It off for 2 hours. Is returned and turned on. He took over fan full speed immediately at startup.
    It feels like a thermal conductor who does not switch the fan to the bottom switch.

    Looked at Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel settings - all together on the optimization of the battery.
    The Eco mode is activated.

    What the hell happens on this machine? Al support will be more than welcome!

    Hi mate

    Have you checked the parameters of module cooling in power management Windows 7-> Toshiba power saver.

    Here, you can change the method of CPU cooling for maximum performance CPU, or better battery life with reduced CPU performance. If the CPU fan noise seems too strong, a setting that maximizes the battery life will also cause the CPU fan turn on less frequently.

  • On my Satellite P100-347 cooling fan runs all the time

    Hello

    I think I might have a problem with the fan on my Satellite P100-347. He seems to be constantly works constantly and is much stronger than when I bought the computer. Initially he just spent and if so, I think that this could now be wrong.
    Help, please.

    Hi Beata

    I agree with the suggestions of Sanremo; He s I don't known how old your laptop has but from time to time it of necessary to clean the cooling fans. Dust and debris inside the laptop could prevent the cooling modules work properly!
    The fresh air flow is also very important. Don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop. Do not use the laptop on the lap or in the bed. In this case the laptop cannot be cooled in the right way and the high temperature can damage parts such as GPU to the Board of Directors.

    But if you think that there is a serious hardware problem you must contact the service provider authorized in your country.

    Good luck and greetings to Poland ;)

  • Why MF375NW running all the time (initialization)

    Just got this new Laserjet and sitting in my office this stuff works like every 15-30 minutes "initialization" which is everything? Normal?  How many times is it supposed to do this?  Can I change?  Driving me crazy, it is HIGHLY

    Well well... on the advice of some others I is gone in the network settings and began deactivation (change) certain parameters and in particlaur seems to have done.  He stopped.  The framework (see image below) is under Network/Network Identification and I changed Hello Service of higher priority: PIP Printing printing 9100.  We have the iMac on the network, and frankly I do not necessarily understand this setting (I've even looked at) but it seems to have done it?

  • After BIOS update easy media are turned on all the time

    Hi all

    My problem is:
    TOSHIBA TEMPRO alerted me to update BIOS my laptop and I installed the update but, after the update done
    MY TOSHIBA easy media LED is all the time and power on & off led does not work very well

    And if I want to turn off the LEDs, I have to restart my computer and enter the BIOS Setup and turn off the coast of the LED from there

    Can help any body for this problem, or if I can restore my last version of BIOS?
    THANKS TO ALL HERE.

    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but on my Satellite A300, everything works fine.
    I disabled the illuminance in the BIOS settings, but I can always turn on or off using on/off button.

    Has your computer laptop original Vista preinstalled?
    I don't know if this will help, but you can try to remove the package value system and after reboot to install the latest version of the Toshiba download page.

    Anyone have any ideas as to why and how I can fix this behavious

    Thanks in advance

    Very strange

    Try resetting the Tablet back to factory settings.
    Press power and volume button at the same time to access the start menu.
    Here, you can use the volume up and down keys to select factory (in the middle of the 3 choices)

    Note: this would erase all personal data from your tablet.

  • Satellite Pro P200-15W: update according to BIOS 1.9 fans walk all the time

    I have a Satellite Pro P200-15W. After recently running the BIOS update to version 1.9, the fans started running all the time and are extremely loud. Also, he did weird things for Firefox, Thunderbird and NAV.

    I would like to "Uninstall" the update of the BIOS if possible. I found [this link: http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1080 89xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 24408215 & stateId = 0% 200% 202 4406262] who treats the restore running CD.

    If I run this CD, which will certainly restore the BIOS to the previous version?

    Is there a less destructive way (ie: that does not erase the hard drive)?

    Thank you

    Ben

    Hello

    It seems that the picture of the fan was changed and renewed in the new version of BIOS, and so fans run fall.
    Why the table fan has been changed?

    Well, usually something like this is necessary to improve the reduction of the internal temperature while the CPU and GPU are running with maximum performance.
    This helps to prevent the equipment from damage!

    > would like to "Uninstall" the update of the BIOS if possible. I found this link that explains the running restore CD. If I run this CD, which will certainly restore the BIOS to the previous version?
    > Is there a less destructive way (ie: that does not erase the hard drive)?

    Usually, the recovery CD formats the whole HARD drive (partitions too) and installs only the image of Toshiba on the notebooks of HARD drive. The image contains the OS, drivers and additional software and has nothing to do with the BIOS update.
    But you can try to recover the laptop to see if you can solve the problems of software!

    If you want to reverse the BIOS, you will need to contact the ASP in your country!

    Sorry, but all I can suggest.
