Satellite Pro M70 overheats and turns off

Need to support some tech with this problem.

Satellite Pro M70 constant over heating problem. After use of 20-30 minutes of normal (web navigation etc.) the bottom of the laptop becomes really hot near the fan, unbearably hot to the touch.
If I play games or do whatever it is cpu-intensive, it will end by the smell of the burning and power off.

All this time the CPU fan never turns! Just lets him get more hotter and hotter. Strange thing, that's when you start first upward, the spins of CPU fan for about 5-6 seconds to make it work! Already tried to clean it, was not very dirty, the fan is not stuck, it runs if you blow...
Update I tried to the latest version of the BIOS overheating again...
Tried all the toshiba utils for cpu temp monitoring etc., they indicate the CPU get more hotter and hotter much more of 60 c +, but none of them (or other 3rd party utils) can detect the fan...!

Fix for that or is it just bad fan / design of the temp sensor?

> Already tried cleaning...
Yes, but how did you do that?

In the past, I have separated three Satellite M70 notebooks and was surprised inside, how much dust has been placed behind the cooling rack. After notebook professional cleaning was much quieter and has been properly cooled.
Maybe the grease thermal CPU and graphic should be replaced also.
After a long period of use, it seems quite dehydrated.

  • Satellite Pro A300D heats and turns off

    Satellite Pro A300D gets very hot and sometimes it turns off by itself. He did this recently.

    What could be the problem?

    Hello

    Usually, the notebooks of cooling modules should be good enough to ensure that the laptop could be cooled properly.
    It s not necessary to use a cooling means.

    In most cases, these cooling States blow air.
    This can be problematic, because internal notebooks cooling fans blow hot air too.

    I think you need to make sure there is enough free space around the laptop and should not use the device in his bed, sofa or on the lap. Use the laptop on the table and I think that this should help to avoid overheating more far.

    I have the following problem with my new Satellite Pro M70.
    A strange volume low hissing sound that happens when the power is connected to the laptop.

  • Satellite Pro M70: Configfree and Wlan with WEP issue.

    I have a Satellite pro M70. With Configfree (v5.90.07), I can connect to the wireless network (with SSID) of my router and go to the internet. But when I put a WEP key in the router, and then I can not connect anymore.
    With Configfree, wireless Lan, I still can't see the network (with the name of the SSID, etc.) and I see that the network is secure. But I can't connect to the network more. This because the laptop adapter (Intel 2200BG) doesn t have the WEP key. My question is: How can I set the WEP key in Configfree? (A different key by different profiles).

    (Try to solve the problem I have downloaded the new Intel and IntelPROSET wireless drivers.) This live program asked the WEP key and makes a link without problem. Now with Configfree, Wireless LAN, I also see a connection (secured with WEP). But the rest of the Configfree program does more (CFMain.exe problem). I read in another topic that this is caused by the Intel program. You must remove this to solve the problem of Configfree. So this n t the solution.)

    My question is: How can I set the WEP key in Configfree? (A different key by different profiles).

    Hello

    Firstly the Toshiba Configfree program is not software for the WLan configuration.
    This program, you can use for the diagnostic procedure and it shows you the connection properties. But it of not possible to set the cipher with the Configfree.
    It seems that the IntelProset utility has a bad influence on the Configfree. The problem is that Toshiba doesn't support any 3rd party applications.

    Furthermore if this card doesn t WLan supports WEP encryption so you can not use it.
    WEP encryption, you can set in the WLan card properties.
    You also use the 3rd party WLan application like IntelProset or Atheros utility to configure the WiFi network but encryption depends on the WLan card not on the utility!

    Hello, Heidi

    Remove the battery, connect your laptop adapter only and try starting your laptop running. When the laptop boot and OS is fully loaded, wait a few minutes and reinsert the battery.

    If everything is OK look carefully if the battery will be charged correctly and when battery LED is green (fully charged battery) try to turn off your laptop as usual. Turn it back on and carefully monitor what is happening exactly.

  • Re: Satellite A200 - overheats and turns off

    Hello

    I had a problem with my A200 series. It heats up to something like 40 ° - 50 ° C, what should I do?

    I rarely hear the fan inside, I seldom spend my laptop off aswell

    Please help me; thx a lot

    Hi kerplunk36,

    I put t know how you checked temperature internal 40-50 ° C, but if this would be the case, everything is ok. That s pretty good temperature and normally nothing should be overheating or turn off.

    Right now I can recommend Notepad using compressed air cleaning spray. This could blow in the form of dust fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop. As you can see is a very easy and fast way to clean.

  • Satellite Pro A30 is randomly turn off

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A30 and from time to time it just turn off. It happens to any application that I use. It will then restart and on my desk, I will get the message that my Active Desktop was stopped unexpectedly and asks if I would like to turn it back on. I noticed that it does appear that this operation when the power supply is connected.

    I can't be sure if it happened only when he has worked outside the network, but I'm starting to think it is. The charger seems to work fine though as it loads fine and power mode changes when it is plugged.

    Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated,

    Thanks in advance,

    Babin

    Satellite Pro A30 is quite old and probably you have not cleaned up until now. If the unit tips suddenly OFF, independent, running application it may be due to overheating.

    It is possible the unit turns off often when it is connected to the power running, because in this case, the standard profile in power management is full power. Power supply battery, CPU activity will solve automatically on the lower level and maybe you can do a little bit more.

    In any case, I recommend you to clean the unit and remove the dust. You can try to do this alone, but I recommend doing it on the professional way but you can make a decision how to proceed.

  • Satellite PRO U300 does not turn off

    Hello

    I am facing a problem for the last few days on my Satellite PRO U - 300 (31st PSU)...

    The machine does not turn off and the power light stays on (blue LED) even after you have disabled. In fact, happened 3 - 4 times when I start the computer normally by pressing the power button / stop, it does not start and I noticed that the indicator was not extinguished even after + shut down +. Like any it is blocked! I have to finally, remove and reinsert the battery to start the laptop.

    Some details of my pc are as under:

    Version of the OS Microsoft® Windows Vista Business 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1
    BIOS Version V2.00
    Processor Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T7100 @ 1.80 GHz

    Can someone help me solve this problem. Is it possible that during the uninstallation of programs, any perticular driver file is also deleted?
    Thank you

    JITENDRA

    Hello

    I don't know that you understand the indicator of power, but to me it sounds like AC Power LED and this LED is always on when the laptop is connected to the power supply.

    Power on / off LED is probably what you mean (the other starting on the left).
    Anyway, you turn off your laptop using a standard on the Start button?
    Are you sure you want to use the Hibernate mode.

    Believe me, the entire description here is pretty confusing to me. It may be that the laptop is turned OFF but power light is still on.

    Have you installed something 4 days ago? Or deleted some important application?
    Sorry, but it is not easy to say with certainty what the problem is here.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L670 - can I turn off the sound when the battery is empty?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L670.

    Even when the sound in Windows is turned off the laptop do a annoying sound.

    Thank you!

    Maybe it sounds silly, but I put t understand why that should be disabled. When the battery reaches the critical battery level you will be informed about this and portable must be connected to the power running or you have to save your work and turn it off.

    Do you really want to work until the battery is completely discharged?

    Anyway, AFAIK this notification level BIOS cannot be disabled.
    Let's see if someone else is better informed than me.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 often randomly turns off and bad RTC error

    Hi, I recently bought a sp6100 and it worked fine at first but now it goes out often random and comes with BAD RTC ERROR at startup. As a musician who uses the pc, it is very painful and I lost much of my work. Anyhelp would be great. Conrad

    HI Conrad,.

    Power loss random is usually a symptom of overheating and can usually be cured by cleaning all dust and lint that built into the CPU radiator. A vacuum cleaner is a useful ally in so doing. Just put the hose against the grids of aspiration air for a few seconds.

    The RTC error refers to the adjustment of the real time clock which is normally held by a small battery, usually mounted on the motherboard of your laptop. It is used to maintain the settings of the BIOS (including date/time) and is completely separate from your main laptop battery. Modification of the RTC (or CMOS) battery will involve some disassembly, so is best left to an authorized Service partner.

    Kind regards

  • Equium A300D - 13 X overheats and turns off by itself

    The laptop is only 14 months old the problem occurred for a while now and can be annoying.
    The time can varry on when the device is overheating then go off.

    I cleaned the unit to the compressed air to get rid of any dust.
    The fan works fine, the software is genuine.

    Can someone help thank you.

    > This seems to be a problem in the face of most of the people with an Equium a300d but not one that Toshiba is ready to own up to. I have the same problem with my machine, which is 15 months old
    It is a big nonsense!

    You will notice a question also on all series of laptop, any manufacturer!
    Your laptop is 15 months old! More than 2 years!
    Did you clean the fans, cooling grids, etc. during this period?
    I imagine that you didn t.

    You know that laptop still overheats if cooling modules are full of dust and debris, this prevents air circulation and temperature arises at a higher level!

    I clean my vents from time to time with the help of compressed air jet and guess what? It is useful!

  • Satellite Pro L300 - PSLB9E - cannot turn off wifi except for by Win 7

The wifi is always enabled, any position of the switch on the front or the combination Fn + F8. I can unplug a wifi service in the network Panel Win 7. This may seem like a good problem to have, but the power gets used when on battery. Obvious pointers? I can't follow up? Thank you very much.
