Satellite Pro P300-25W - noise fan too heavy

Hello

I just got my Satellite Pro P300-25W and I hate the noise of the fan. Is there a way to make it less noisy race less often?
I updated to Windows 7 and installed the drivers from the Toshiba DVD.

In power options I selected everything to be optimized battery / record maximum power in the advanced power settings. But still, the fan runs almost all the time. I use Windows to surf a little, the CPU usage is very low (less than 10%), there is no 3D graphics movies or something goes on that would put fun on the GPU.

It drives me crazy.
I can do something, or should I just bought a laptop?

I hope you can help!

> Is it possible to make it less noisy race less often?

There is an extra entry called Toshiba Power Saving and there you can change the performance of cooling module for battery or power mode.
Usually, this should help

But note; It depends on the internal temperature! Higher temperature means more rapid cooling modules
It might be also possible that your cooling fans are full of dust and debris and prevents air circulation, remove dust and clean the fan using a jet of compressed air. Who helped in my case

  • Satellite Pro P300-145 - sound of frying with my headphones

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite Pro P300-145 and today I started noticing a noise of frying with my headphones. I tested my headphones in a different laptop and they sound good and if I play the same files with my speakers it sounds good too so I was wondering if you knew what could be the reason.

    I have to say I kept the laptop doesn't work for quite a lot this weekend and he got more than warm so I dunno if that could be causing it in the first place.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Andunemir,

    What operating system you are using? You use Windows or Linux?
    In addition, it would be interesting to know if this happens only with headphones/external speakers or portable speakers internal too. You can test this please?

    > I have to say I kept the laptop doesn't work for quite a lot this weekend and he got more than warm so I dunno if that could be causing it in the first place.
    The temperature of the laptop is enough depending on the applications that you are running. High CPU and graphic card use causes a higher temperature.

    But it s also advised to clean the system at any time using a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust from the cooling fans and the laptop is much cooler after that. I do it every 3 months because I use my laptop every day. If I do that, I followed these instructions:

  • Occasional Satellite Pro P300-1FP - gel during video playback

    Hello forum,.

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1FP, age about 4 years old.

    Running Windows 7 (32-bit version).

    An occasional but annoying problem: when playing video, from time to time the whole system freezes. Sound continues to come from the speakers, but it is usually either an idle down & distorted version of what I should be heard, or a noise buzzing/scream loud, repetitive.

    System retrieves ever - only freezes completely, unresponsive, frozen display, the mouse pointer moves, etc.. Have to restart every time.

    Anyone know what could be the cause of this & how can I fix this?

    Thank you
    Alan.

    As far as I know SP P300 works well with Win7 32 bit. My brother has the same machine and use it with Win7 too. We checked often performance with different games or playing different videos, mostly from avi or mpeg files. Also very good race and YouTube videos smoothly, so I really don t understand why you have this problem of gel.

    Have you installed the Toshiba download page display driver?
    HARD drive is extremely busy before that happens?

  • Satellite Pro P300 - update graphic card and CPU

    I have a Satellite Pro P300 and I was wondering if the CPU or the graphics card can be improved?

    I really like my laptop, but an upgrade is imminent and before I take the plunge I just want to see if it is all options other than a new laptop.

    Hello

    Processor and graphics card update is not supported and there is no list with compatible processors. If everything is on your own risk. In the worst case a new processor will not be recognized from the motherboard or BIOS, probably you need a new module of cooling too so I wouldn t this

    In addition, the graphics card is attached to the motherboard and cannot be exchanged.

  • Satellite Pro P300 just died on me

    Hello

    Yesterday my Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC1E) died just the'm... no battery charging lights nothing. Nothing happens when I press the power button it is DEAD.
    The battery was ok last time used, the adapter is still give me almost 20volts.

    I took the laptop goes to check the DC in connector, it's ok.
    I guess that, after some research, it is a fault of the motherboard. In general my warranty missed 2 months ago!
    A new motherboard replacement so far here quoted costs £180, not too eager to pass that as I have a tax account at the end of this month!

    Any ideas of what could be the problem?
    I found a mobo on eBay which is a course of p300-1 to 8 for a song, but which would be compatible?
    What are all the variations in motherboards?
    Any other motherboard would be compatible?

    All ideas, suggestions would be much appreciated, and I thank everyone in advance for ideas.
    See you soon
    Steve

    I think motherboard is dead too. My brother had a similar issue when he wanted to connect the external HARD drive.
    Simply, there is an electro shock and from that moment the cell phone was dead. No reaction at all. Drive external HARD even was dead and it smells like burned plastic.

    Anyway, if you want to have the same hardware, you can buy identical mainborad of a PSPC1E model.

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-19 q (PSPCDE-009005EN) with Windows XP. I'm having a strange problem where the DVD drive every now and then turns upward (flashing too) as if it attempts to access a disk. There is no disk in the drive.

    Any ideas?

    It is not easy to say why this is happening.
    As I see you are using Windows XP Home edition. Windows XP Home edition is installed as recovery Toshiba plant?
    Has noticed this problem with the factory settings and clean installed OS?

    Right now I can't imagine that it's a hardware problem. This read command comes obviously from somewhere. If some additional software may be responsible for this?

  • Satellite Pro P300 - his axe with Win XP installed

    Starting with Satellite Pro P300 with VISTA everything was fine including the sound.

    For other reasons, I'm back to Win XP and noise started to sputter and example music was chopped.
    After you have installed the latest driver everything was going well again, at least for a few days.

    The same error came once again, starting with a chopped sound when starting Win XP. Reinstall the latest version of the driver does not help.

    Is anyone able to give me a hint?

    Thank you

    Have you checked the sound settings in Windows? Maybe there's something wrong.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - impossible to activate the built-in microphone

    I bought a Satellite Pro P300 some 2 months and so far so good.

    It has a webcam which I really thought that I would have any use for it but now find that I have.

    The camera works fine but I cannot activate the built-in microphone.

    Can someone point me in the right direction please

    Hello

    You will need to start the webcam software if you want to use the internal microphone too.
    The point is that the internal MIC is connected with the internal webcam and webcam software handles both devices.
    Also check if the internal mic has been correctly enabled in the webcamsoftware

    In addition, I would recommend updating the audio driver.

    Best regards

  • Satellite Pro P300 - BIOS upgrade to 64 - bit

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro P300 - 266 PSPCDE and I am very happy with him.

    Since I have a WIN7 64 bit OS, ready to use and 8 GB of RAM I need to update the BIOS to 64-bit.

    I found a WinPhlash file on the support site of Toshiba (toshiba - tro.de) bios called - 20090226124829.zip. I tried to use it as described in the Toshiba support on the use of WinPhlash (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm) page. Also, I made an exception for WinPhlash in the registry of the DEP.

    It still does not work.

    Since I am a user knowing very mediocre modern computers I guess I'm doing something wrong or I can be monitor something... can anyone please help me upgrade my system to its full capabilities?

    Thank you

    Aernout

    You don't need to upgrade BIOS. If everything works well don t change anything.
    I have Satellite P300 with preinstalled Win7 32 bit and works perfectly.

    How do your shopping with the 64-bit version?

    Hi mate

    I confused m do you know why?
    Because you talk about audio driver Realtek and sound chip and my knowledge, that the Satellite Pro P300 was equipped with the audio chip Conexant!

    According my Conexant audio chip experience can't stand stereo mixer in the recording devices!

  • Satellite Pro P300 - 23L - horizontal lines on the taskbar

    I have a portable Satellite Pro P300 - 23L.
    Last night it suddenly appeared, about 30 horizontal thin white lines on the taskbar (actually on the bottom half inch of the screen).
    The top 3 or 4 of these lines seem to pulse in a fast and regular way.

    Now, I can barely see the icons in the taskbar, or the button to start in the lower left corner.

    I read on another forum that the problem may be due to a problem of "grounding".
    The charger plug is actually broken and repaired the wiring myself, but that some time previously, so it is possible that a connection is loose or is now was something shorting causing this effect.

    I had to order a new charger but in the meantime would appreciate any assistance in order to confirm or deny that this could be the problem.

    Any advice on how to remedy this?

    Hello

    If the problem would be with the power adapter this lines should NOT be visible using the laptop with the battery. Right?
    Therefore, it would be really interesting to know if the same lines are visible if the AC adapter is not plugged in.

    But I think that this is unrelated to the power adapter. In my opinion its a display issue or a graphics card problem.
    Therefore, you must connect an external monitor to check it out.
    If the same lines are visible on the external monitor, the graphics chip is assigned the case, it could be a display problem.
