Satellite M40X - the noise of the fan

Hi all.

I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X - 161 (PSM4XE).

I had this problem with the fan of the computer running all the time and make a lot of noise because I bought a few years ago.
Once I had the fan cleaned in the shop of service it was ok for a few days, and then he started again.

Is there a solution for this problem? I read that Toshiba has released new versions of BIOS that solve this problem, but for laptops with ATI/nVidia video cards.

I have an Intel card. Is there something for my model, and someone has fixed this?

Hello

Is not a friend of the problem.

The cooling modules must be cleaned periodically. It s not enough clean the fans only once the dust appears more if it s necessary to regularly clean the cooling modules.

You should also take a look in the power of the Windows operating system options.
Most of the time it possible s control of the CPU performance and cooling performance that would reduce noise and fan activity.

  • Satellite A100 - the fan runs at high speed after idle standby

    Hello

    My laptop is Satellite A100-912.

    The problem is when I suspend it for more the a few minutes when the fan is running at high speed. This occurs on both Windows XP and Linux GNU. When the temperature of the two nuclei will more then 51 degrees C fan slows down and begins to work as expected. Suspended for a short time (about a minute or two) the fan speed is OK.

    I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS.

  • Re: Satellite P750: the fan rotates at high speed without load

    Hello
    I am a developer of software for the Germany and often uncomfortable in my quiet office. Well, since I got my new P750 I am facing a strange problem: while the CPU load remains very low, fan works suddenly 71% while the cpu temperature is 44% in health monitor. If I unplug the cable that the fan immediately gets quiet at 0%.

    for normal use with connected to the fan cable * always * works 64%, while having temperatures of 40%.

    I checked the settings in the power manager for the parameters of cooling system. If it is set for maximum performance on the cable and balanced on the battery, it seems completely unnecessary to let the fan run all the time, so only ist very low temperature.

    Hello

    As you probably know cooling fans are controlled by sensors on the motherboard and laptop users don t have much influence on the activity of the fan.

    In my opinion for your work you need high performance t n so I recommend you to use the power plan balanced all the time. In the balanced power plan change advanced power options > cooling method optimized battery and it should reduce the activity of fan.

    It is the same on my Satellite P500 and the laptop runs pretty quiet. Also, make sure that the laptop is placed on the desktop and noting may block the ventilation openings.

  • Noise of the fan on the Satellite C660-115

  • Satellite C660 - 1 HL: how to reduce the fan noise?

    After buying the C660 (1 HL) I'm especially glad of his duties - if it was the bad noise it emits.

    I use laptops for 12 years, but this one is really annoying with every minute repeated with penetration hum of a fan, even if the laptop is in sleep mode.

    I compared with a C650, who is often quiet and his fan, if being run, does not cause that kind of noise.
    So far I found any kind of control for the fan, no driver or powermanagement setting, that I had before for example with a Satellite M70.

    I always thought, technological development will bring improvements, but not the trouble of this kind.

    Thanks for the tips of any solution

    that could be an object (something really little) is/was blocked in your FAN and is now gone. If this would be a problem of turnover so the fan would still some strange noises.

    I suggest you do the following: use your machine as usual and if noise appears again then ask a technician to clean the fan/ventilation system. I Don t think it s some malfunction of the equipment.

    Hello Jay

    Satellite A200 is old model of laptop, and I can imagine that the fan cooling and air conditioning grill are full of dust.
    Before changing anything your laptop must be completely disassembled and cleaned. I did this several times in the past and I must say that my books were much quieter than before. After the cooling system will work properly and laptop will be able to take a breath.

    I put t know if you know someone who can help you with this. Please don't spend your money for new parts. At a first professional portable make cleaning.

  • Satellite L650 1NC - the fan noise

    I bought the laptop in February 2011 and the fan noise deteriorated over time, now. I've read many threads in this forum and elsewhere about this problem and I think that the problems are basically the same.

    Now that I've read some that messages stating that the new BIOS, released in September have apparently solved the problem, I did a BIOS update (Version 2.3) to meet the same problem again.

    The fan stops when the temperature is below a certain threshold, in my case according to CoreTemp it seems to be at about 50-55 ° C. At the moment the fan turns off, which is also confirmed by the monitor of health indicating the 0% fan speed.
    This leads to the CPU temperature increases until the fan is used to about 55-60% fanspeed.
    This process repeats every 15-20 seconds and is very annoying.

    It gets worse, but if I start to actually do something like a request to open from the web browser - nothing serious, really, I don't want to start even complain about the noise while game/watch movies.
    The fan speed will be 70-75% as soon as the CPU gets the work to be done.
    The noise that results is unacceptable for 20-30 seconds.

    Noise is an important factor for me. At the University I can't use it as my fellow students are too distracted by its noise. To work my colleagues began to complain as well.
    As I use my cell phone while being out of my own office/home it is basically useless for me now.

    Has anyone else still issues after the recent updates to the BIOS?
    Is there a way to put the fan always runs at around 30-40%?

    All opinions are appreciated.

    Hello

    Cooling module performance depend on the internal temperature.
    If the temperature arise at a higher level, the fan must turn more quickly to prevent equipment overheating it's usual behavior.

    But you can try to change some Windows 7 power management settings.
    This will reduce the performance of the CPU and the dissipation of the heat and that should slow down the activity of the fan too.

    Here is instruction how to change the Windows 7 power management.

  • Touchscreen and the noise of the fan U920T - 11 c satellite fails sometimes

    Hello

    I just bought the U920T - 11 c a few days ago.
    I love him but he some of the questions they put me down and make me want to go back.

    The first problem is the loud fan noise that lights up. Is there anyway to turn this off?

    Happens about 15 minutes using the web and then turns on and off every 5 minutes. It's really strong and be in the break room, it is noticeable.

    Can I do to stop this? I'm only using the web and not running other programs.

    I also noticed that the touch screen fails to respond without particular reason. I don't know if there is a trend, but it's frustrating when it stops just for no reason and then sometimes everything works again.

    Looking at these forums it seems that it is a common problem with the Toshiba. I have a few days before I can return, so if they are not resolved, I think that I might go just form the Samsun ATIV book 9 Lite instead.

    Thank you

    > Happens about 15 minutes using the web and then turns on and off every 5 minutes. It's really strong and be in the break room, it is noticeable.

    I assumed that the noise comes from fans who need to run more quickly if the internal temperature would increase.
    What you could do is change cooling performance module in single power management.
    You could also decrease the performance of the processor. This would lead to a lower heat dissipation and the fans slow down.

    > Also, I noticed that the touch screen fails to respond without particular reason. I don't know if there is a trend, but it's frustrating when it stops just for no reason and then sometimes everything works again

    You could try to calibrate the digitizer
    Go to the control panel (Windows key + X-> Control Panel)-> Tablet PC setting.

    The first display tab contains options such as configure screen stylus and touchscreen.
    Here, you should be able to start the installation program and identify the touchscreen.

    The first option must contain 1 internal LCD
    At the bottom, you might find button to calibrate and reset the settings for the internal LCD.

    But it could also be a hardware malfunction. I can't say for sure why this happens, but perhaps a technician should take a look at the material.

  • Satellite U405d-s2850 - noise coming from the fan high pitch

    I bought my computer laptop 2nd Friday last for the school. I bought it at Costco after comparing with some other laptops.
    I like it so far, it is a tone high from the fan noise. First I thought it was my ear, but it wasn't. This high pitch noise is so darn high, it makes me crazy.

    This means, there is something wrong with this laptop?
    Or am I just darn sensitive?
    My other laptop Toshiba is very good. It's just this new laptop!
    Help!

    Should I return this laptop and get a new one or is it normal?

    Hello

    Are you sure that this noise is coming from the cooling module?
    Usually, it is really hard to say what causes these sounds of high pitch without disassembling the whole laptop and check the single parts.

    > This means, there is something wrong with this laptop?
    To be honest, I never noticed the sounds of high pitch on my three different notebooks.
    So I guess there might be something wrong with the single computer laptop part.

    So if you aren't really sure what causes this noise of high tone, then I recommend contacting ASP in your country for and verification of the laptop.
