Satellite L875 - 12 p - clicking noise

I used the Satellite L875 - 12 p for about a month.

Since last week, I start noticing clicking noise occurs randomly between the right corner of the mouse touch pad. It's quite strange because this laptop is quite new.

What should I do to fix this?

This rattling noise can be produced by the hard drive. Look at him carefully the next few days and if it get worse the closer contact of Toshiba service provider and ask for help. In the worst cases they replace HDD, free of course.

If you have some important data stored on the HARD drive, from time to time make backups.

  • Display driver problems and clicking noise with Satellite C670D-11R

    Hi all

    my friend bought a Toshiba Satellite c670d-11r in Germany on a catalogue (Otto to be precise) with Windows 7 Home Premium installed on it.

    After a few months he brought to a computer store and a service in the city, he lives to do a fresh install of Windows. A day ago he came to visit me and complained about how slow it was and asked me to install Windows again and that's what I was doing.

    After installing that I asked him about the CD of drivers he has no idea where he is or if he even had one so I downloaded all the drivers on the site and installed on her laptop except the display driver.

    First I unpacked it in the Appdata path that has been predefined, but that he would not launch after extraction, so I gave in a path custom and tried to run "Installtb.exe" but still once nothing happened so I decided to run the 'Setup.exe', he began installing CCC and after installation, I checked "Dxdiag" but it doesn't always recognize not the GPU in the view tab as in the previous version of Windows, as a "Radeon HD 6320" but as a "Standard video card" I tried everyhing I could come with but nothing really helped, a little later, I noticed a rattling noise where I think the HARD drive should be (to the right of the touchpad) I thought that I broke something , but he said that he noticed that also a few weeks ago by clicking.

    I'll post the dxdiag log now if this will help.

    Hello

    In regards to the HARD drive clicking noise:
    It is nothing unusual can happen with some kind of discs hard I have a few hard drives (internal and external) of two hard drives produce a rattling sometimes noise, but the drive HARD running and working properly so I guess that its ok but nevertheless if possible, back up the data always

    Regarding the ATI driver:
    The laptop belongs to the PSC4AE series.
    Choose the series C670D PSC4AE in driver download Toshiba form European page pilot would show you the driver compatible v8.812.2.2.

    You must download and unzip the package first.
    Now you should see the file TCA0056800E.exe.
    This file must be decompressed too

    Now, go to Device Manager and select the graphics card.
    Here to choose install driver then the manual installation procedure. Now point to the folder where you have unzipped the display driver.
    AFAIK driver for Win 64 bit files are placed in the driver-> display folder
    Usually the Windows operating system must pick up the right files to install the driver

  • Satellite P850 - Headparking HDD / annoying clicking noise

    I bought my Toshiba Satellite P850 12z a couple of weeks and since day 1, he made this annoying rattling noise. After a week or two to try to ignore it, I searched what it is. I guess it was the click of death, but discovered that it is actually a function of the hard drive, designed to protect the disc if it has fallen, guarantor of the head on a ramp when idle.

    Apparently, it is supposed to do this every 30 seconds or Yes but mine did it more than 1 in 10 seconds and I can't stand it anymore. I tried some solutions such as changing power management options at their highest level, but nothing has worked. Some people have found that the programs running as "QuietHDD" but these all seem to be 32-bit and no work on windows 7, as they must be run as administrator.

    I left about 4 days until that my 21 days return policy runs out and I need to know if there is a way to change this or if I have to return the thing. The only thing I've found that helps is to keep the HARD assets with defrag disk, but it works only for about 20 minutes at a time. I've had laptops before and never had this problem and there is no way that I can put up with this noise for 3 hours while trying to write an essay.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who replys.

    Hello

    The clicking noise is nothing unusual, and in my experience, that depends on the HARD disk that is built into the laptop.
    I have two laptops equipped with different hard disks.
    A HARD disk created this little snap, the other doesn t.

    On my laptop Toshiba the HDD protection that utility is installed which helps protect the disk drive HARD against mechanical damage.
    If this utility is enabled, or active, the head of the HARD disk is exposed. The internal Accelerator sensor measuring vibration and if the vibrations are too strong, the sensor to unload HARD drive head to avoid damage to the disc.

    If you want you can uninstall or disable this feature, but I do not know if this m will eliminate the rattling noise
    If you can't stand the noise, you might try another HARD drive

  • Satellite C850 - clicking noise and freezes at startup

    When I start my computer, I get a clicking sound as the morse code and my computer freezes until the noise stops. Initially, I had 8 Windows on the computer and had the problem then.

    I hated Windows 8 anyway so I removed and installed Windows 7 Home Premium, thinking this would eliminate the problem but it did not. When I had Windows installed 8 noise would start at random times, but in Windows 7, it seems to happen at the beginning upward.

    Clicks can go for 5 minutes to 20 minutes and it doesn't make a difference if I restart the computer. The mouse can still be moved, but there is no response when I click on something.

    Some have suggested it's from the hard disk, but it is deffinately by speakers.
    When I'm able to change the volume, the volume by clicking changes also.

    It's driving me crazy!
    Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this problem?

    > Some have suggested it's from the hard disk, but it is certainly by the speakers.

    I thought that you intervene on the rattling from the HARD drive noise

    Start Notepad, press F2 and access the BIOS.

  • Can not play my UK DVD on my US bought satellite L875-S7108

    Hi, maybe this is a stupid question, but I can't play my UK bought the DVD on my US bought satellite L875-S7108 laptop. The word of user manual in the following "TECHNICAL NOTE: your optical disc drive is called upon to play region 1 (North America) DVD-ROM.» If you play a DVD from another region, the player goes automatically to play in the format of the other region. »

    This does not happen, all I get is the following message "the disc is from a different region. Can not read' and that's it.

    What can I do so that he can play a different region? Thank you

    Problem is that laptops are the products of these countries, and if you want to use it to watch movies there is only one solution for you: buy new ODD in the United Kingdom and exchange it. Maybe it sounds silly, but I think it's the best solution for you.

    In general the country code can be changed in the DVD region settings. Open properties IMPAIRES > DVD region tab > click on United Kingdom and confirm with OK.
    That's one thing, you can do if you want to change the region code.

    Hello

    Usually, the system must be activated automatically when you first connect to the internet.
    If this isn't the case, I suppose there must be some serious problems in the system.

    After this, turn off the closure of the hybrid and a complete Windows 8, as stop described here:

  • Impossible to install W7 UEFI on Satellite L875-131

    Hello
    I downloaded the latest Bios (6.70) for your support and flashed my bios.
    There is no way that I can install W7 UEFI on the laptop.
    I disabled Secure Boot, my USB key bootable with W7 or W7 boot my dvd properly.
    Windows shows files upward.
    Then on the 'Starting Windows' screen, the screen is stuck, nothing happens.

    My brackets are great, I have used several and when you pass the UEFI in CMS mode, I could make a correct installation, as at the end of loading, I see my scores and choose where to install W7.

    But as my only HD GPT formatted, there is no way that I can install without losing W8, and I don't want to delete all my partitions.

    I'd appreciate a solution for this problem...

    EDIT: I can also add that the installation process works very well under W8, when choosing a free for install partition.
    Windows copy all files, and then when the system restarts once again, I'm still stuck on the "Starting Windows" screen

    I would be grateful to know if the problem occurs on all satellites L875-131, or if my phone is defective.

    If anyone has a work around for this problem, I would really appreciate ;)

    Thank you very much

  • Equium - hard drive makes clicking noises

    Hello, can someone please help?

    I think my laptop is in trouble, the hard disk (or I think it's the hard drive) is do a lot of clicking noises and my battery life is running down when the adapter is connected. It seems that run down when the drive made those rattling. When the power mode is energy-saving sometimes stops clicking and the battery life fills up again, but recently its been doing even in power saving mode.

    I'm moving all my files on an external hard drive, even though I have a lot of stuff on my lap top. I can't afford a new laptop

    Can someone help me please?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    How to help you without knowing your model mobile exact?

    Generally if the HARD drive makes clicking noises it s time to replace. Backup to an external drive has been a very good idea.

    And how you can lose the life of the battery if the AC adapter is plugged? I put t understand it.

  • Tecra M10 - 12M - clicking noise and slight stutter

    I have a problem of sound strange but serious with my Tecra M10 - 12 M in December 2008.
    It started to happen a month or two ago and behaves like this:

    After the reboot of Vista business, the sound is perfect.
    I use my computer throughout the day, then put it in mode "sleep" during the night. The problem begins with the sounds of rattling occasional and slight stutter, then gradually worsens. After 3 to 4 days, the PC becomes impossible to listen to or to use with Skype.

    I am a competent computer scientist and have tried to close systematically of all the applications, services, and processes to see if I could find an offender who caused the problem. I did not and I also checked that I have the latest drivers for the Realtek High Definition Audio (with EC). I also tried to disable all the improvements in the sound properties.

    The only thing that helps is restarted. The sound is so perfect even once immediately and for several days.

    A good example of this phenomenon can be found at http://www.netwv.net/Sound.mp3. Although the example originates from Skype, note that is not a problem associated Skype. But Skype is an important tool for me and this problem really completely disables my PC when it comes to use Skype and listen to the sounds.

    Any suggestions to solve this problem will be greatly appreciated!

    Willy

    > The only thing that helps is restarted. The sound is so perfect even once immediately and for several days.

    HM strange s it seems that not a sound driver of the questions that you updated the audio driver as well.
    I'm not quite sure what could cause this clicking noise when using the Skype
    Maybe you should to reinstall Skype too.

    If this will not help, then you should clean the BONES using the CCLeaner. This tool is free and cleans the registry and operating system.

    But if you still notice the right question then you should check if the new OS install help.
    To do this, you must use the Toshiba recovery disc!

  • Equium A100-147 - clicking noise from the HARD drive

    For awhile, I had clicking noise from the HARD drive and when the laptop could not, I assumed the reader was packed but trying a replacement nothing happens. I get a blue light for battery and a blue light (low) for the supply of direct current, but nothing for power or disc. However, when I plugged in an external drive yesterday it starts fine and when I unplugged the laptop continued to work the internal drive. But even once this morning he died and will not start. I read that the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off. Could it be the motherboard battery?

    > reading the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off

    Enter the Bios (press f2 at startup) and check if it recognizes the hard disk. You can see on the home page or the boot option in the Bios.
