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?

  • Satellite L755-11J battery low charge question

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L755-11J for nearly three years.

    It is now stated the battery down and to replace.

    What is the average time that the battery lasts? Understand that they take some time, but seems a little earlier.

    Looking for a replacement online through Toshiba but can't seem to see it.

    Thank you.

    > What is the average time that the battery lasts?
    To my knowledge, the common battery would have started loos performance around after 500 cycles of carbonization.

    However, to keep the battery performance the longer possible, you need to calibrate the battery from time to time. The battery should be completely discharged and then recharged until the battery indicator should appear green (or blue).
    This process must be repeated 2.3 times in the line.

  • 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 ;)

  • Satellite L650-1GF - cooling fan runs every 3 minutes

    Last week, I bought a Satellite L650-1GF. Everything is fine except the noise from the cooling fan. Especially because it works almost every minute to cool the carrots. There is an annoying sound hum which takes about 10 seconds and is repeated every 3 minutes approximately.

    I checked with "Speedfan". The temperature of the hearts is fluctuating between 32 and 37 C. And at about 37 ° C, the fan speed to cool the computer.

    Two questions:
    1 is this normal that the cooling fan starts cooling to 37 ° c.
    2. is the annoying noise of the fan normal for this model of Toshiba?

    And what is acceptable, can I find examples to compare with what I feel here somewhere? I saw a lot of cell phones so far, but none of the cooling fans made a buzzing sound like this.

    Kind regards

    Open the Device Manager and check if no yellow exclamation point appears. If you can see this yellow sigh perhaps the sound card driver is not installed correctly.

    In addition, please plug the headphones to your laptop and check if you can hear anything through the headphones.

  • My fans on my laptop have stopped working

    My fans on my laptop have stopped working for some reason any. I was told to check to see if they may be disabled in some way or update my "bios". How can I do this?

    Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop, go to support, select the exact model of your laptop and you will find the latest version of the BIOS. Most of the BIOS files come with a tool to replace the existing with a new one. They should also be equipped with a manual on how to do it.

    BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL! If something goes wrong and you ruin the existing BIOS you can literally kill your laptop computer - fixing it will cost! Make sure you follow instructions to the letter, especially the most important one - the laptop must be on the current and also battery must have at least a few expenses so that if the current is the laptop ends the process (which takes just a couple of minutes high).

    In my experience, the BIOS is the likely cause for the fans not working do not. What is more likely is a hardware problem - fan (or fans) are defective or the chip that manages (reads temperature data and tells the fan to blow and the difficulty of the to do).

    I have no idea if it's a hardware or software problem.

    Any type of combination of key or software could disable them or it's a hardware problem?
    If so, what should be the fix in both cases. If so...

    Thanks in advance.
