Satellite P100 - keyboard is hot

Hello

I have a P100 and it generates what I consider excessive heat under the keyboard / laptop frame left keyboard through d/f key and the w key for under the chassis of the keyboard less than less than 2cm.

I have clean the air inlet and exit of dust, but you can still feel the heat radiated upward from this region, well as soon as you put your hand down.

Is this normal. ?

Any help would be appreciated as the laptop is out of warranty. While in the guarantee that she had 3 hard drive replaced and a motherboard, so I was very lucky with the reliability of this laptop.

Thank you, Denis.

Hello

Can keyboard is always hot. This is nothing unusual because the CPU and the GPU cooling modules are placed under the keyboard and there is a dissipation of heat from the cooling modules.

You should always make sure that your laptop is on the table and that there is enough free space around the laptop to make sure that the cooling modules may work properly.

If you follow these guidelines, then you should be worried

  • Satellite P100 - GPU running hot

    Hey, I am concerned about my graphics card.

    He performs regularly at 90 degrees Celsius + charge very little or no, even with a cooler pad.

    The fan physically works particularly well at boot however when using the fan remains at a very low speed and has little air flow.

    I want my fan to go as fast to ensure optimal air flow and a longer life for my graphics card.

    Is it possible that I can adjust the speed of the fan on the graphics card and the CPU would no more hurt.

    This becomes a problem when I play games, I have to express more low of all the parameters to the strict minimum, just to keep under or just the Red temperature range, if the fan comes to pass that would be nice.

    I also have it on a USB cooling block but I don't think he can compensate completely for the fans not working.

    What file do you have in the zip file.

    Normally before installing a new driver graphic, you need to remove the old, restart your computer and then you can install the new.

    New display you driver n t need newer BIOS, but you can always update.

  • Satellite P100 - cannot play games and it get hot

    Hello

    the first im sorry for my bad English.

    MY LAPTOP

    Satellite P100-324
    Modell Nr.: PSPA6E-02R01FGR

    http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=de&BV_UseBVCook ie = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 120519

    MY PROBLEM

    I can't play computergames long because the GET "Nvidia Geforce go 7900 gs ' so hot. The frames per second reduced by half for example 100 fps-> 50 frames per second. He get a little colder and after 5 minutes more. I read that tmore people have this problem but I can't find a very good answer.

    I have installed the latest driver for my graphics card with the correct .inf and I expect a day of bios but Toshiba updated those isn't available.

    In my opinion is the best solution to find a tool that control the speed of the fan, but I can't find one.

    Why doesn't the fan at full power? If the graphics card is not so hot and cut the clock in two.

    (1) find the latest version of the bios - looking (Toshiba does not work)
    (2) install the latest driver for the graphics card - completed
    (3) clean - finished

    but no one really works!

    I thank very you much.

    Good bye

    Hello!

    In your case I would clean the fan with compressed air jet. You can buy this by a local computer dealer and could blow the dust from the cooling fans. In this case, it s not necessary to disassemble anything.

    Make sure that there is sufficient free space around the laptop for a good air circulation.

    Good bye

  • How to change keyboard on Satellite P100?

    Hello
    Yesterday, I had an accident: spilt Coke all over my satellite p100-115.
    Now my keyboard sticks to many buttons. I wanted to clean up. The first button, I've pulled out was RET. But now I can't it again.
    Is there anyone who could explain to me how to get out in it the right way?
    Or: Is there a way to change the keyboard? If Yes: how much is a new keyboard?

    And are there Tips how to clean my keyboard shortcuts? They are also sticky. :/

    Tobi

    Hello

    Unique key replacement help much. The entire keyboard needs to be replaced. Like Stefan said please contact partner in your country. You can try to exchange it alone but you will lose the warranty.

    I recommend you to make a call and ask how much the replacement will be fresh.
    In any case, the keyboard is set with 6 screws and placed undercover KBD, but is not easy to remove this cover. It is fixed with a screw and I don t know exactly where this screw is placed.

  • Keyboard lost a few keys on Satellite P100 PSPA3E

    When I write with the built-in keyboard, some keys are lost. I have to write slowly and check what I write because some keys are not recognized.
    I update the driver available al.

    I note that in the original operating system in Control Panel, there are two keyboard.
    I change the operating system to Windows XP Professional, original. I do the cd of drivers with the old systm to operate and install the new. I do all the present update in the toshiba site. I can't find a driver for the keyboard.
    The new operating system, in Control Panel, recognize only one card.

    I hope that someone help me, because there's a serious problem.

    Best regards.

    Hello

    I join s1s and also think that you are the first user who reports thereon on Satellite P100. Because of this, you cannot write any serious problem here. Serious problem is something else.

    I used the P100 several times and I must say that the keyboard on this laptop model is not good for me because some keys are narrow and I can't write on my laptop Tecra where all the buttons are the same width.

    In any case, I also recommend you to use the keyboard a bit slower. There is no separate driver for the keyboard.

  • Satellite P100-307 - massive heat problem, keypad heater

    Had my Satellite P100-307 for almost two years now and it's a good and useful media-notebook, but it never HOT side left keyboard, especially games.

    But in recent weeks, the keyboard is pretty HOT and I don't know why! Because I6vgt ´m using only low level applications.

    I did a full restore to clean any virus or other malware, but it continues to get hot, as if I where in the highest graphics modes, the games, but just I m using IE7 and a LateX editor for the creation of PDF Documents - that s nothing for a dual-core processor! Kaspersky 7.0 has been throtteld down, as far as the security is allwoing it.

    So why it s heat like that in 30 to 60 Minutes. He has never done this before, I m sure.

    It s so hot, it's quite unpleasant to work with her, because placing even the heel of your hand next to the touchpad makes my hand sweating!

    Would be grateful for any comment or advice,

    Looks like the laptop is overheated, it is a common problem with laptops that are used in a dusty environment (a room with carpet, for example).

    Buy compressed air in a box and spray it in the vents to remove dust.

  • Crisis of the BIOS Recovery on Satellite P100

    Hello

    Usual story. Windows (WinPhlash) BIOS updated was wrong and my P100 is dead.
    I fell on the collection procedure of the crisis that should work on any laptop Phoenix BIOS based.

    However, I either do something wrong or the motherboard is blown more than I expected.
    In my case, I follow the procedure carefully, but my P100 won't enter in crisis recovery mode at all.
    He's not even trying to access/boot USB floppy drive.

    I just tested with A100 my wife and all the readers (HD, DVD and floppy drive) light their LEDs right after turning on the laptop, if the floppy drive works fine. When I press the power button on my P100, fans begin to turn, turn hard drive (and heater for chipset gets hot after awhile), but by pressing Fn + B or Win + B as described in procedure of CR does not any change in the behavior of the laptop. Floppy drive is Toshiba, marked, so there should be no compatibility issues. Voltage all the USB ports, but somehow my P100 refuses to access the floppy drive at startup.

    Any help?

    See you soon,.
    bladteth

    Satellite P100 say isn't the same thing as the Satellite A100.
    The two laptops are supported on different motherboards and different BIOS.

    I put t know what you did, but I see only one solution.
    You will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance technicians should be able to help

    Good luck and best regards

  • Satellite P100-286 - vertical on the screen restart and constant lines

    I got this P100-286 with Nvidia Geforce Go 7900 GS and recently the laptop started to freeze options even with vertical lines on the screen tried recovery cd tried to re - install and after installation, that he started to do the same. I have read similar problems in the forum and this is a common problem with Toshiba? I have spend £1500 on this and it is only 3 years old. My friends have older laptops of this almost 6 years old and in good working condition.
    Y at - it a suggestion for this problem or a solution? The heat on the basis of the laptop is really hot and it's like that for centuries.

    Any help is really appreciated after spending so much like to last longer or it is a problem of reliability with the Toshiba brand.

    Hi vns.

    Hmm strange. I have ever read on these issues here in the forum with Satellite P100. Friend of me has the same model and it s still does work correctly, no problems at all.

    Do you have the same vertical lines on a screen? If so, it is certainly associated with the internal graphics card and not watch.
    By the way: you have the same problem in the BIOS or just Windows?

    With regard to the heat on the underside: I think that it s time to clean it and remove dust. You can do this using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. That's why it of not necessary to disassemble your laptop.

  • After the last update of BIOS that Satellite P100 locks with BSOD

    Hello

    Due to several problems meeting with updated Toshiba Satellite P100-221 (PSPA6E) launch second online BIOS updated. I have download and I solve problems with my video card and the race of missing keyboard. After a short period, they put on the update of the BIOS rd page 3 drivers.

    I'm trying to find what ever they change with this new update, but I na? t find anything. So I decided to update my BIOS again. Now as a result my system crash very often when I quit & restart my computer (blue screen).

    Microsoft advised me to reduce the video acceleration for video adjustment.
    Maybe can someone explain to me why I have this problem?
    I use the same drivers and software same as in the second update
    I can find BIOS previous to rewrite again, because this one works very well with my laptop?

    Thank you!

    Hi Sebasian

    I use very long books and I've never updated the BIOS if not necessary. What laptop works well, OS stabile, why should I do it? I don t care if new BIOS update is available or not. I've always been skeptical about the updates to the BIOS. That's just my opinion.

    As far as I know, it is not possible to downgrade the version of the BIOS without special tools and it can be done by service partners. It is not easy to tell if the BIOS is responsible for this, but if possible, try to send us illustrated if BSOD errors.

    If I were you I backup all important data and reinstall the recovery image, configure OS for my needs, and make sure that everything is clean pre-installed. My experience with BSOD were always related software.

  • For Satellite P100 fan controller

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P100 PSPA6A-01J017
    Dual processor Intel t2400 (1.83 GHz)
    NVIDIA gForce GO 7900 GS 512 MB
    1gig ram
    Under Widows XP PRO - SP2

    I searched the forum for a fan controller, with a poor result. I downloaded Notebook Hardware Control 2.0 and other similar monitoring software.
    Still, I can't control the fan. I often have my laptop on my lap, making the heat more worrying than the noise, the music is always enabled for max :)
    So if there is any way I can control the fan to work more and cool the CPU even faster, that would be great.
    I slowed down temp around 60 degrees now and the area on the side left (WSAD) is very hot.
    If I can change some thermal Tables or force the fan to operate on Max would be great. Anything to bring the fan to the top.

    In my opinion, no need to buy a cooling pad, as the fan must be turning at high speed if it does not, then I must consider that as a second option.

    Greetings and thanks
    Anders

    Hello

    It is a book of very high performance with high CPU and powerful graphics card.
    All the features of this produce a lot of heat. Also, I saw on the page of Toshiba, the laptop is very mobile and easy to use in all situations.
    How the circulation of fresh air should work properly? Fans and cooling modules must turn to ensure good cooling.

    In any case, on my laptop Toshiba Toshiba energy saver is responsible for cooling and control of the CPU module.
    I think the same thing on you laptop. Check the settings in the energy saver and set it up.

  • Question about the update of value added for the Satellite P100-160 package

    Hello

    I got an email off the coast of Toshiba today telling me there is a value added package update available (PVAT (v1.0.25).
    I downloaded and unpacked. It contains three options:
    2 don't buttons, button 6, no button but there is no readme etc to tell me which version is my P100-160.

    I have added, trying to install one of them gives me an error that it has already installed older versions that should be deleted everything first.

    Can someone advise please that I should use?
    Thank you!

    Hi guys

    Value added package contains many different Toshiba and utility tools!
    Satellite P100-160 belongs to the PSPAA series! So, you should always choose this series if you want to download the drivers from the Toshiba page!
    This number can be checked on the bottom of the unit.

    I visited the page of the Toshiba driver and checked the details.
    You will find an info that this package installs a range of important public services.
    -TOSHIBA components common Driver: this module is an essential component of Windows Vista. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.
    -TOSHIBA Power Saver: The energy saver controls energy by opting for optimal power settings, if the machine is connected or battery-based knowledge and based on the remaining battery power.
    -TOSHIBA utility: this program allows you to customize the settings of your hardware, depending on how you work with your computer and the devices you use. To start the utility, click the Start button and select Control Panel, and select Configuration HW TOSHIBA icon.
    -TOSHIBA password utility: this utility allows you to set a password that restricts access to the computer.
    -TOSHIBA Flash Cards: This utility provides the Hotkey function and the function of pitcher who starts the keyboard shortcut function and sends the other TOSHIBA utilities.
    -TOSHIBA PC Di

    In my opinion, if you want to update the package of value added, you must remove all the tools of this and after new reboot you must install it again
