Satellite P100-106: cooling fan issue

Hello

I recently bought this laptop great, but I have a question about the fans that was so annoying. This laptop have 2 fan vents (one on the left side of the laptop and the other at the back), this wind is all the time and the left starts to turn on and off once in a while (I guess that based on intensive tasks how) so I was wondering is this normal behavior for the events in this laptop? And btw, what is the difference between these two events? I'm not sure wheather it has something to do with the fact that I use Vista OS?

Thanks in advance

Can someone who owns P100 laptop write some word on the status of the fans in their laptop? I mean is the situation like mine or something?

Thanks in advance

  • 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 P100-160: cooling fan comes loudly for 1-2 seconds every 30 seconds

    I have Vista and I tried everything.
    I set the thermal control mode in the BIOS to "Silent" (although sometimes I look in the BIOS and it is up to the performance). I have disabled Aero, changed the minimum and maximum processor speed etc..

    The irregular, loud fan noise leads me into the wall! I'd rather work permamnently at volume slightly harder than that! The laptop is great, but if someone said "I'll give you a full refund" I would like a shot - only on this noisy fan irritating each ch. 30 seconds!
    Can anyone help? I suspect not - I suspect Toshiba needs to work on its drivers and maybe a BIOS update. I kind of feel that I am at the edge "bleeding" here with this purchase. I have other problems too that I'll post separately.

    Hi David

    I'm sure that any comment as if it was normal will be good enough for you, but there is really not much to do. You can try to play with the power settings and see if something will be better.

    Two weeks ago, I did some experiments with P100 and I installed my Vista with the necessary drivers and tools only. I was positive surprised how Vista works now. If possible, remove all the stuff that you don't need. The fact is that much preinstalled stuff running in the background and force CPU to work under pressure. I really don't see another solution at the moment.

    In my opinion it has nothing to do with the drivers, but perhaps with BIOS. We'll see if Toshiba will offer soon new updates to the BIOS.

    Hello everyone,

    I have windows XP Home Edition installed on my Satellite P100-106. Does anyone know if I could install the x 64 edition without any problem?

    I mean, are the drivers offered by Toshiba ok for XP as well as for XP x 64?
    I'll be able to use the same programs, or I'm going to need some other versions?

    Thanks in advance

  • Re: Satellite P100-106 PSPADE - replacement for Panel problem

    Hello

    I have a problem with the screen on my model Satellite P100 - 106 PSPADE 018110G 3.

    I changed the old Panel LG PHILIPS LP171WX2 (A4) (K7) (she has wide stripes without a photo) with the new a LP171WP4 Philips (TL) (B1) and after the first start, everything worked OK but more later when I turn it on there there's no picture, only automatic backlight is activated, windows starts because I hear it log into the sound on the speakers.

    When I turn back old Panel everything works correctly.
    Also when I connect external display its signal on it, with old and new Panel on laptop.

    Is there a solution for this problem?

    Thank you

    Can I just suggest you to test an another Billboard.

    The card isn t the problem since the external monitor works fine.

    It shouldn't be a problem with FL inverter for the backlight seems to work also.
    This is why I believe that this new Panel must be tested.

  • Satellite P100 - 387 CPU fan works like crazy

    Hi all
    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100-387. I bought it with 2 friends. The same model.

    The problem exists only in 2 of the 3 laptops. It looks like this. When I start the machine everything is ok. While windows starts cpu cooler (or video card cooler if it exists) starts to work. If the fan starts to work the low speed at the highest. And did it for 5 - 10 times. Then a few minutes break and again. It's really noisy. It seems that when you insert a CD or a DVD.

    It goes like this also when windows is started. No high consumption of CPU, the fan works like crazy. Start at full speed for 2-3 seconds, then for 1 second and still the same.

    Everyone has the same 'characteristic '?
    What is this Toshiba Power Saver software works with p100-387?

    Hello

    I P100-109 close to me and I noticed the same thing. There is no difference between preinstalled WXP or Vista and because of this, I assume that this is a normal behavior. I know it's sometimes troubling, but unfortunately you have to live with it.

  • Satellite Pro C650 - cooling fan does not work

    My Satellite Pro C650 overheats and stops automatically within 20 minutes of leaving upwards. I checked the CPU fan and noticed that it does not turn upward, even if the laptop would become very hot. I tested the fan with a 9 volt battery and it works perfectly.

    Can someone tell me exactly what the problem is? And how to solve it.

    Thank you.

    > Can someone tell me exactly what the problem is?
    On this virtual path, no one can say with certainty what the problem is. We can only speculate what may be the problem.
    Usually, cooling fan starts immediately after starting the laptop slows down and offers the optimum temperature of material. After reading your ad I didn t understand how it works. He turns and there is no sign of life?
    Problem can be power.
    Cooling fan will be controlled by sensors of temperature and activity depends on the temperature of the material but if your machine cooling fan does not work, I imagine that there is no electric power.

    What do you think?

  • 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 Pro M70 - cooling fan stopped working

    Hello

    I have a laptop M70, I have recently identified as not very hot when in use. I have now identified that the fan has stopped working.

    Any ideas how I can get this fan, so I give it a clean and check that the connected fan isn't loose etc.?

    Thank you

    Are you sure that your cooling module has stopped working 100%?
    Maybe the cooling module is ok but cannot run with maximum performance and can not cool the CPU correctly because of the dust and debris inside the laptop?
    What do you think of this theory?

    I can tell you that I read a lot of stories and gossip on overheating problems and be more honest to these issues could be solved by cleaning fans.

    I clean my cooling fans from time to time with a jet of compressed air.
    These sprays are professional tools and can be purchased in most dealers specialized computers.

    But if the fan has stopped working and then a jet of compressed air will not help you.
    In this case, a technician must check the laptop.

    Maybe the laptop must completely disassemble to remove and replace the defective part.
    This procedure is really tricky and must be performed by a technician for laptop.

    Good luck buddy

    CONCERNING

    Hello

    As far as I know, you can find a lot of applications to test and maintain the fan settings.
    But it is very dangerous because by using this software you change the thermal management of your laptop. These programs are not supported by Toshiba, for any damage caused by this program is not covered by the warranty.

    YOU USE THIS PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK!

    The only issue is the Toshiba Service partner, but

  • Satellite A135-S4527 cooling fan works more efficiently

    Hello

    I have an A135-S4527 and the cooling fan is having issues.
    It works at low speed constantly, as it usually does, but almost never, he runs in mode high speed.
    Clearly, it must be that the air temperature is high enough... about the temperature of the exhaust gases from the typical vehicle.

    I'm worried that it will burn upwards if I have not fixed, but I don't know what needs to be fixed.
    I use a "Chill Pad" USB power under him at all times to make it work more fresh than the factory settings, but this problem has arisen only recently.

    I've owned this computer from a little less than two years now.
    5 months in the property, the HARD drive failed and had to be replaced (it goes without saying, I save ALL my important files now).

    Does anyone have information on this topic or the normal functioning of the cooling fan?
    If so, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Nick

    Hello!

    As Akuma, it could be that it takes more dust in the cooling fans or fan doesn t work properly.
    So in your case, I'll try to clean first using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can buy it at a computer retailer.

    If it doesn't work you should sent to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and clean.
    Maybe the thermal compound must be renewed and technicians can do for you. It of a little more difficult to disassemble a computer laptop and you need to remove a large number of screws so he sent to an ASP.

  • Satellite M60-162 cooling fan

    Dear users of Toshiba,
    is it normal that my Satellite M60-162 new cooling fan is often turned on and off with the normal energy profile selected in the toolbar State Windows XP?
    Sometimes I want to turn off my Satellite only because I'm confused on the noise generated by the cooling fan!

    Kind regards.

    Hi Fabrice,.

    Yes, it is quite normal that your fan to kick in all few minutes (my A30 will systematically even if only displays the desktop).

    Toshiba power settings usually have a 'silent' option which helps to reduce the volume of fan activities (by slowing down the speed of the CPU) that can help, but it is still likely that the fan lights from time to time.

    Excessive activity and the fan noise is a common problem that is often discussed in this forum and is probably the result of trying to put as much of hardware and software in such a small case.

    Kind regards

  • 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
