Satellite M70 stops suddenly: fan?

Hey,.
As of today, my Satellite M70 suddenly stops while I work.
I checked the forum here, and I guess it is a heating problem.
When I looked at the opening of the fan, I saw that the coating was broken...
And the fan itself does not seem to work either...
It must have been some kind of accident.
The regular warranty covers these things?
Thanks in advance!

Hello

I think you are right and the machine is overheating.
To get this repaired your only chance is a Toshiba service partner.

Unfortunately, this kind of damage must be the result of some kind of hit on the laptop.
And normally it is not covered by the warranty.

Good bye

  • Guard Satellite Pro stopping suddenly.

    My laptop is suddenly stop - and do not restart.
    "It happens esp if I try to do a scan Mcafee - when it comes down to a ' 1386 file" on the C: drive it stops! (but it also stopped at another time).
    I've defragmented it and cleaned up the cookies etc. It is about 50% left on hard drive and even if 4 years old and a little slow sound otherwise was a good laptop Satellite Pro.

    Any ideas? Ah its driving me crazy!

    Stopping suddenly may also be due to overheating. Usually when he runs some CPU or graphics intensive application, the material can get the critical temperature level and simply turns off.

    I'm sure that after some time you can start your laptop. He is old enough laptop model and it's time for cleaning. I really can't say if this has something to do with the preinstalled stuff.

  • Satellite A110 stop suddenly - processor fan does not work

    Hello!

    The CPU on my brand-new A110 fan does not work. The laptop turns off suddenly, without hibernation or standby for any CPU consuming activity.

    Can it be linked to a configuration / software problem? If so, how to check?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a hardware malfunction. If the fan does not work as it should then it has nothing to do with the software.
    The A110 seems to be a very new unit and I n t think that the dust and debris are responsible of these automatically shut down.

    Why you n t take your warranty? If the warranty is valid must be checked and replaced for free

  • Satellite P10 stop suddenly

    I have problem of sudden closure with my Satellite P10... and no new BIOS update available.
    Is there anyone who can help me?

    Hello

    How old is your laptop and when it close? Perhaps during some heavy applications?

    There are several times my laptop didn't stop because the temperature was too high.
    Someone here in the forum suggested to clean the fans and the cooling with the vacuum module. I did it because my laptop is a little older. Because of the dust and debris, the fans didn't work properly and the temperature is increased to the critical level.

    The operating system shut down the laptop to prevent damage.
    I think you should check for this possibility.

    Also the damaged software could be a reason to turn off automatically down. Especially the new installation of the operating system can help solve these problems.

  • Satellite M70 - cooling fan does not start

    Hello.

    I recently got a little work Satellite M70 - CL1 to a friend. Everything works, but the cooling system is malfunctioning. Fan made ramp-up at the start, but then it does nothing. I tried the XP system installed inside, and ubuntu 10.10 does not seem that the fan is running. My friend said the fan strikes, but at the moment he does, too little too late and the system freezes due to overheating. He managed to stay alive for 20 minutes on his own cooling power.

    Any suggestions on what's wrong? Maybe it's the temperature probe that is defective?

    Hey,.

    Of course, it's not always easy to tell what the exact reason is on this virtual path but probably dust blocks the cooling fans and so it may start t and the laptop is overheating.

    Clean the fan and the heat sink is not very complicated, because you can use the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. Everything is described in this very useful Toshiba article on cleaning of your laptop:

  • Satellite M70 cannot stop

    I bought my Satellite M70 in February 2007. It had been nice up to a weeks ago. I can't stop normally again.
    He can't even switch to standby or Hibernate mode. It crashes with blue screen. The cursor moves on the screen but nothing else does not work once the blue screen appears.

    The only option that remains for me is to press the power button to turn off. It works normally if started again, but will not stop. I have a lot of data on it, so I don't want to use the recovery CD. Pls how to fix SAT without reformatting. Thank you

    Hello Bob

    None of us can say for sure why this happens, and you can't wait for a magic solution. What we do here, it's just to speculate why this happen. In my opinion, a background program block system and used to stop. Who knows what applications you have installed in the past few months, but I'm sure one of them is responsible for this.

    If possible, save all your data to external HARD disk or a second partition. Use the installation in expert mode and install the recovery image on the partition c. after installation of clean operating system everything works OK again.

    If you don't want to do it try to remove all the latest applications installed and make your system clean. I also recommend you use a registry cleaner application. You can find many of them on the net.

  • Satellite P20 S203 stops suddenly

    Hello

    In the last month my Satellite P20 S203 does so well, and unfortunately it seems that the problem is a hardware one (but I'm not sure, and that's why I'm writing here)

    The computer just stops suddenly (it happened 2 or 3 times in the last 30 days); every time it happened I was on the web on Firefox, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with it, and I'm also 99% sure that this is not a virus, malware or something like that, cause I formatted there are 3 months and nothing else behave in a strange way, the computer is slow or something like that.

    The last two options are that the question can be of a physical nature, or a software (as a conflict between the operating system and installed programs); I'm more to the first, but I do not know and I need assistance to find out... What should I do?

    In addition, when it stops suddenly, it won't turn with the first try.
    He needs like 10 or 20 times to open like an old car that won't start; the first, say, 5 times I try to turn it on, it appears only the toshiba logo.
    It then passes through a screen, I can not read because it goes too fast.

    Then a black screen, then it turns off again.
    With the next try that it goes a bit further, as it displays the windows logo, but as this image is fading, it stops halfway through the fading process, resulting in a darker windows logo, as it is too difficult for her to load the OS!

    But then it turns off again!

    Then after a few other attempts it finally loads windows.

    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

    OS: Windows XP SP2

    Hello

    Maybe the laptop stops due to a higher internal temperature.
    High temperature leads to an overheating of the questions and the laptop would be stops down automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.
    The other point is that the high temperature may affect the RAM modules.
    In this case the laptop computer may freeze or you will receive a Blue Screen Of Death.

    I had a similar problem in the past. About 6 years ago my first oldie started to overheat.
    I cleaned the cooling modules, but the questions again.
    Finally, I contacted the laptop technician in downtown, and he said that the thermal grease that is placed between the cooling module and the CPU must be renewed.

    He did, and it helped!

  • Satellite M70: access to the data of temperature and fan

    While we did not have these problems with other laptops, we found a way to access the data of temperature and fan on a Satellite M70.

    A friend has tried this on Linux but have failed and also with XP I do not find a way to read data (current temperature of the CPU, or State of the fan-cooler).

    Given that I noticed several irregularities when using (the fan is that the CPU load is very minimal), work sometimes is going to be a little uncomfortable.

    Thanks for the advice / gw

    I put t know if it will help you, but in this ad, someone managed to run a control application of the material.

    Maybe it will work on your laptop.
    But to my knowledge Toshiba doesn't support this request and I'm not sure it will work.
    Anyway, try it's free ;)

  • Satellite M70 - suddenly no sound

    Hello!

    My son was watching a movie on my Satellite M70 the other night and just in the middle of it the stopped sound... second. He didn't touch anything (I was in the room with him when it happened) and there is no new parameters. So, I've updated all the audio drivers and crossed with all kinds of checkers 'hardware' (including my own common sense) and were not able to resume his.

    The computer is basically a company and there is an incredible amount of information about this. This means that I really don't want to make a full recovery. I surfed a bit and seen that others have the same basic problems. They're told to reinstall the drivers and try to downgrade and upgrade and 1 million other things that should work. I mention this because I have done all this. I'm at the point where I'm going to have to or consider in a store (guarantee is already done...) or simply live without sound (data backup is possible... just hard right now).

    What I was wondering if there is a comprehensive solution to this problem? It is the first time that I come to the forum and I am surprised that this problem is not mentioned. Do you have a solution for this? Can I do something to get it back? Since we don't have television, movies are the only 'entertainment media' that my children receive and silent movies were not what I had in mind ^ ^

    THX in advance

    General solution?
    I doubt that you could do try this one solution.

    First, you must connect the helmet to check if the sound seems to use the headset.
    If you could hear something using the headset then it would mean that there is something wrong with s for laptop speakers.

    In addition, go into Device Manager and remove the sound card in the list of devices.
    Then restart the laptop and check again.
    If it does not help then I would recommend creating a backup of your announcement of important files to recover the entire system.
    The sound still not appear then if say there is a problem of serious material, perhaps the sound card could be affected.

  • Satellite M40 - 244 sudden stop - cooling/temperature problem?

    Hello everyone!

    For about 1 week, my laptop M40-244 became unable to cool down! Then, of course, more often, it stops suddenly to avoid any damage. I am sure that this problem is triggered out of cooling, simply by touching the left side of the key board it is easy to feel the (high-temperature 8 -

    My QUESTION is: is it possible for me to avoid the repair?

    I'm in Shanghai, I can not expensive toll-free phone and surprisingly that I have not found in the Web from Toshiba site any way to contact a Toshiba support by e-mail (if someone knows a way, please tell me!)

    Because it's very curious: my laptop is '8-month-old', never this kind of problem to date, and Toshiba is well known for a good cooling system. Recently, my laptop did not shock. Would it be possible that the fan has suddenly stopped working well?

    I tried to "verify" my laptop, but the failed to install of Speedfan and Motherboard Monitor 5 seems unsuited to the M40 244 then he is totally unable to find any sensor Board! Now, I've seen in some forums and website the possibility of the "underclocking", or a way to 'reset' the BIOS fan, but, Wow!, I am not an expert! What it means? It is possible with a laptop computer, or it is only possible with a PC?

    Here go us! I can go to a store of Toshiba and I guarantee, but it is required to serve 1 week without my laptop so professionally, she is extremely boring for me!

    Sorry, I'm a little long and sorry for my English (I'm French!), but If someone KNOWS A WAY THAT ALLOWS ME TO SOLVE this COOLING PROBLEM BY MYSELF, please tell me!

    Thanks in advance,

    Fred

    Hi Fred

    Vacuuming, cleaning procedure is not bad and very easy, but be careful. But if it does not help you should contact Toshiba service partner.
    The fact is that your laptop is under warranty and if there is a serious problem with the cooling module and fans the service partner must check.

    If you click this link, you will find the list of the FSA from Toshiba:

    In addition, you should check the settings in the energy saver because this Toshiba tool that controls the use of the CPU and cooling method.

  • Satellite L850 - webcam suddenly stopped working

    The web cam on my Satellite L850 has suddenly stopped working.

    It does not appear in Device Manager;
    I downloaded the latest driver on the Toshiba site;
    I checked the BIOS and the web cam is turned on;
    Always when I open the web cam application I get the following message:

    "webcam initialization failed Please restart request and camera control.

    I scoured the advice forum and short of a return to the top and reboot disk HARD, I find no reasonable answer. I can't back up as I am away from home is out of the question. I need web conference call cam / call my family to the United Kingdom back.

    Tired of going round in circles and getting nowhere.

    Any suggestions?

    Post edited by: mrclean

    Even if you have not changed the settings in the BIOS, you must Access the BIOS to make sure that the webcam is turned on it!

    I also recommend the suite of this workaround:
    Uninstall the webcam software
    Uninstall the VAP
    Uninstall all software needed the webcam (Skype, etc...)
    Now, restart and install CCLeaner (cleaning of freeware software)
    Reboot once more.
    Run CCleaner and clean the system and the registry.
    Reset
    Now follow with installation of VAP
    Reset
    Install the webcam software
    Reset
    Test webcam.

  • Suddenly the screen on my Satellite M70 had color red, green or other

    Some time while I was on the net screen on my Satellite M70 exploded and a color on the screen and I couldn't do anything unless I close the lid of the laptop and the computer will put into hibernation. After doing this the laptop go normally, and after a while he'll be back.

    There's something that amazes me that some time, sometimes 3 times a day and some time it doesn't happen in a week.
    Please I need your help

    Hi guys

    This seems very strange and it's amazing that a single software application could have a negative influence on the screen.
    It happens only when the laptop connects to the internet?

    But of course, maybe the program like MS Messenger has a bad influence on the graphics driver and so this problem appears.

    Try to update the graphics driver and check if it helps!

  • Satellite M70 164 - screen freezes and goes black, overheating

    Hello world! :)

    Recently my Satellite m70-164 started to freeze after only a few minutes of work. The picture on the screen freezes, and a few seconds later, it becomes completely black.
    The computer doesn't even have time to warm up, and it's not stop... It's just the screen that freezes and becomes so black. I have to reset the computer by pressing the power button. (I write from another computer).

    I noticed that working time reduced whenever I have reset the computer and after some time it freezes even though I am in the BIOS settings, so I don't think it's an OS problem.
    Even if the computer does not have time to warm up, this suggests it might be a heat problem.
    So I tried pointing a fan this is low (a big, like the ones we use in the summer), and it works without problem!

    With the fan facing these, I reinstalled Windows - so no Virus.
    Laptop fan * not * continue to operate as it is overheating.
    The fan runs and it is not clogged as I've cleaned.

    So if anyone has the same problem, or ideas, please respond!
    (And sorry for my English)
    Thanks in advance! : D

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with you. In this case, even in the BIOS, that it has nothing to do with Windows or a Virus. In this case, it seems to be a hardware malfunction

    But before contacting an authorized service provider to diagnose what part is the cause, clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This should be done from time to time (every 4 months) and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

    Check this box!

  • Power on issue to a Satellite M70

    Hi there all the

    I have two of these laptops on the bench with the same problem.
    When you press the power button, nothing happens, no noise of the car or fan, he's just dead. I looked around the forum and have tried holding down the BACKSPACE key while pressing the power on button, but simply nothing.

    Can someone please?

    Have fun... :))

    When you press the power button / stop is there any reaction. No power when he saw bright lights or not?

    Last week, I fixed my Satellite M70. After turning on the computer laptop, I heard just cooling fan for the little while spinning and nothing. No reaction at all. But the power light was all the TIME.

    CPU was dead. I exchanged CPU and laptop works well again.
    I can't say with certainty what is on your laptop.
